I can't stand this anymore...

I need to get out of my house. Ever since I moved back into my parents house it has been nothing but uncomfortable and aggravating. Forget the fact that I'm 24...I still get treated like I'm 16. They still think I have a curfew. They think they can run my life. They think I'm their personal servant. They don't want to accept reality.

Lately It's been worse. It took me 3 months to convince them to get a new washer & dryer...why? Because the last one was 22 years old, to dry something you would have to run it through 8 full cycles!!!!!!

Now my dad wants to clean the garage. The garage that I had cleaned out all by myself after 22 years of junk piled up. My dad wants to rearrange everything and put cabinets everywhere...and get this....SELL MY GYM EQUIPMENT BECAUSE ITS A WASTE OF SPACE!

Now today, after 3 days of constantly relighting our water heater because the damn thing wont stay on, I tell him it needs to be replaced. What does he say..."I paid $500 for that thing brand new, how can it be broke? Call the company and see why it's not working." Of course its me who has to call...what does the company say..."Sir your water heater came with a 3 year warranty that expired it 1978, I'm afraid there is nothing we can do for you anymore."

The water heater is 33 years old and my dad thinks it should work like brand new. Now he doesn't want to pay $250 for a new one. I can't tell you how fucking ridiculous it is to live in this house. He wants me to pay for it because I take long showers and put stress on the water heater which is why it broke. There always has to be blame put on someone and its always on me...nothing breaks or stops working because of old age...always someones fault.

I have to get out of here.

Volume Control

You know how they put a radio control button on the steering wheel of some cars now a days? Of course you do, well I don't like it there and I don't it there. Lets be honest not very many of us drive with 2 hands so what the point? Either you have to bring another hand all the way over to hit it, or you have to let go of the steering wheel. Not a good idea.

You know where I want it...I want it on the control panel on the door, by the window switches. Yes sir, it only makes sense. When you take the window down you need to turn the stereo up a little so why make me move to another place to do it...put it right there. Plus when I drive with my right hand, my left hand is just chilling on the door anyways...and when that song comes on that you want to hear, yup your right there. And when its a song you cant stand, you can change the radio with minimal effort. This way you can focus more on driving.

Volume controls on the door panel, you heard it here first.

Terius Youngdell Nash

Who the hell do you think you are? This guy is starting to piss me off. In case you don't know who he is, he is a R&B singer/songwriter. I have no problem with that, what I do have a problem with is this. This kid thinks he can call himself "The Dream". But not only does he call himself "The Dream", he also calls himself "The American Dream".

Really? Dude chill out, you just made it onto the scene last year, who gave you the right to have 2 nicknames, and furthermore, who gave you the permission to take MY name? I've been "The Dream" since ~6th grade, and before me "The Dream" was Hakeem Olajuwon, now I don't remember ever passing the torch down to you. And quite frankly after this stunt, I never will.

Now you can take your little songwriting ass and sit down in a chair and do your thing. I don't care if you go by "The American Dream" but under no circumstance will I be "The Persian Dream". No sir, I am "The Dream".

Big deal, you wrote "umbrella" but if Rihanna hadn't of sung it, no one ever would have heard it. Now condsider yourself lucky and move off of my territory. And if you wanna step up, then bring it.

Microsoft part 2

Ill keep this short. I love you guys for creating Office, but honestly what other alternatives are there. I am content with Office. But then you go and make Office 2007...why you made that move Ill never know. You took away the "save as" button, and then you changed the file format. Its no longer a ".doc" its now a ".docx", WTF is the "x" for? Xtra stupid? Ok so maybe that last line wasn't as funny as it was meant to be, but you know what, I'm not going to change it because I don't change things for no reason unlike Microsoft.

So now as more people start using Office 2007 because they think its better, more and more people with regular Office, or Office 2003 (its official name) are receiving files made on 07. But guess what, unless you download a translator, YOU CANT VIEW THE FILES!

Had to get this off my chest!

MTV

I'm not big on TV at all. In fact if my TV gets turned on once in a week, its more than average. But when I do turn the TV on it's usually for sports, now that baseball is back, I'm sure it will be on a lot more. But the other day I was amazingly bored so I decided to see what was on. The answer...nothing, so I got caught watching some stupid show on MTV. I don't even remember what it was. What I realized is this:

Every show on MTV in about nothing, absolute nothing. Ok maybe true life might be somewhat educational and have some merit behind it, but everything else...about absolutely nothing. I dare you to name a show on MTV that differs.

You see all these commercials about parents not wanting things on their TV, you know the one where they get the mob guys in the house, and the mom says they have to go. Lets be honest, thats more real life than the shit on MTV. If anything should be taken off the TV to protect kids, its MTV. It does nothing but fill peoples minds with a false world and false hopes.

And don't be stubborn, you all damn well know that MTV is scripted, and if you don't I'm sure somehow indirectly you know someone who has been on a show there and they can vouch for this.

Go back to showing music video's, at least live up to your name. Or is it no longer Music Television. No, its not, its now Made-up Television.

Microsoft!

Where do I start. Microsoft o Microsoft, you put out shit. Plain and simple, you put out shit. Your marketing sucks, and your product sucks, so how are you so successful? You have a monopoly, thats how. There are three basic OS's (Operating Systems), Windows, Mac, and Linux. Now one would say sure theres a choice, but unless you really don't have a life then Linux is out of the question. That leaves Mac and Windows...as for me I hate, I mean despise, I mean just flat out cant stand Apple, so that leaves me with Windows.

I have no choice but to deal with your OS. But just because you have a monopoly with OS's doesn't mean everything else you put out has to be shit! First Microsoft Money...what a BS program that cant even keep up with its own updates...had to switch to Quicken, just mad I didn't start with Quicken. Then theres your Internet explorer, does anyone use that anymore? Then you went and created "Vista" out of demand for a more "user friendly" platform. The only thing Vista is more user friendly for is people who have never touched a computer before. Vista sucks and because of this sales of Macs are soaring through the roof...not to mention sales of XP haven't been this high since it was first released!!!! People are downgrading!

I could go on forever with all the stuff you have done wrong, your Xbox used a linux operating system...not even your own. Then there was Zune...Then you tried to buy Yahoo...I think more people use ASK.com than Yahoo...but wait you've been working on that deal for months now...please continue. $40 billion plus is a steal, cant wait to see how you fuck yahoo up.

And now today, I'm buying photo paper a 60ct. of HP's premium was $17. Then I see your premium a 100ct. for only $3.99...get 40 more for $13 less...why not, no sales pitch needed. I get home, print two things and notice how shitty the quality is on your paper. Afraid it might be my printer I run back to Best Buy, grab the HP brand, run back home, print out the same 2 pictures and all of a sudden I'm looking like Ansel Adams. Your paper sucks just like your company.

Now I see why you stepped down Bill, nice move.

My birthday

So I turned 24 this year, and like most years lately it just depresses me. It feels like I should be something by now, you know have a job? Maybe have a family and some kids. Who knows, something more than I have now.

This year however I really felt old. You know how when people get older, they don't want anyone to know it's their birthday. It was like that. I did something for my birthday this year that I'm sure puts me in a small group of people, who like myself would never wish this upon another person. I had the unfortunate task of carrying my great aunts casket to her grave.

For my 24th birthday, when most people go out and get drunk and celebrate, I had to attend a funeral. And because of this, there was really no attention put on me, it was as if my birthday no longer mattered. As if all of a sudden I was old enough to not expect gifts, a cake, or the tradition singing of "Happy Birthday". That is what shook me that I really need to start doing something more with my life. It wasn't the funeral. It was the lack of attention.

Get a Life

I'm not going to sit here and pretend I don't have a myspace account. Because you know what I do. But I don't use it everyday and when I do use it I'm hardly on there for more than 1o minutes. There are some people who live off this thing however. You know, the people besides Tom who are always "Online Now!", yea them.

Well yesterday was April 1st, which for my 23 years of life has always been known as "April Fools Day". Well yesterday some dumbass sent millions of people into a deep depression and state of anxiety. Someone came up with the idea to spread the word that this Friday would be the last day that myspace would be free and after that it would be $19.95 a month. They even said this on the radio yesterday morning as I was driving to the park and within minutes the lines where off the hook.

I can not describe how many people were upset and wondering if they could afford that. Kids in high school and middle school were calling in talking about how they have to get jobs now because of this. (Ok, why those kids weren't in school at 9 am...I don't know, but their parents really need to take their myspace away). Anyways this thing got so blown out of proportions that people actually started deleting their accounts and sending bulletins saying "good bye" to their friends.

Anyways once they announced "April Fools!" people got more mad and blah blah blah...lets just say that the Dj's had to call the myspace crisis center today because they were getting in trouble from the amount of emails sent to myspace about this.

To everyone out there who actually got worried that myspace would be $19.95 a month...I say this...GET A LIFE!

This car gives me a hard-on

If I won Megabucks or the lottery, the first thing I would do is go out and buy this car.

Now a days its common to see Bentleys, and Lamborghini's, and Ferrari and Maserati, hell even Maybach's just driving the streets like its nobody's business. What you don't see is a BMW Alpina B7. Yes thats right a BMW. This car is basically a 7 series on steroids.It's a supercharged beast that can drift with the best and run the quarter mile and win. Putting out 500hp isn't all this car comes with. How about a set of 21" Alpina rims (msrp $22,500)? Not your thing? How about knowing that theres less than 250 of these in the U.S. ?

Face it, we all know 7 series are bad ass luxury vehicles, but did you know they could be this fast? 0-60 in under 5 seconds. Before you say that's not that fast, keep in mind that this car almost weighs 5000lbs and seats 5 more than comfortably.

With a top speed of 187 and a price tag of $117,000, the BMW Alpina B7 would be the first car I would buy if I magically had 10 million plus in my bank account.

More pictures here.

5k Training Update #3

I ran a mile today. When I started training a few days ago I mentioned my breathing afterwards was killing me. After my run today my breathing was great, my heart rate and my breathing subsided to normal in a matter of seconds. On the other hand however, I had shin splints like a mofo today and it killed me. Usually I get shin splints when I run on a treadmill, but not out in the open so this was really weird.

Oh well, have to keep moving forward and hope my shin splints work themselves out.

March Madness

Its almost that time again but I'm already seeing some March Madness out there that is pissing me off. Young men everywhere are competing in their conference tournaments to hopefully make it to the NCAA big dance. But heres whats getting me upset...

Blown calls and wrong calls by the refs. It seems like this year has been nothing but bad calls by the refs, in the NFL, the NBA, and now in NCAA basketball? Come on refs these are kids, they get paid with an education, they aren't making millions yet and less than 2% of them ever will. SO WHY CHEAT THEM. Who are you to determine who can or cant play in the National Championship tournament? Stop acting like the selection committee and do your job fairly and justly.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say if we want professional sports to be fair like they should be when it comes to officiating...we need to find a robot or something to do it for us. These refs are biased and it shows. Or maybe we can get people to ref who hate sports and don't care who wins.

How much is your life worth?

I saw an ad the other day for this new GPS messaging service which will alert authorities when you need them. And when you need them I mean by being lost out in the wilderness about to die. Sounds like a great idea and for only $169 it seemed like a bargain. But thats when this investigative reporter dug deeper...keeping you in mind.

The service runs like this, buy the piece of plastic for $169.
Pay a yearly service fee of $50.
Pay a special additional $8 fee so they can send a helicopter after you if need be. (if you don't get this the day you sign up for everything its $150 a year after!)

So for basically $227 your first year you can get lost in the woods or on a tundra and not have to worry about dying unless an animal attacks you right?

WRONG!!!! This thing isn't even guaranteed to work on land unless theres cell phone coverage! The only time it's good is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. And don't even try using it in Northern Alaska or South Africa or parts of the Middle East.
What a scam, I hope no one really buys this.

5k Training Update #2

I ran another 1/2 mile today in anticipation of the 5k I'm going to be running at the end of this month. Today my breathing was a lot better, and the amount of burn after my run was drastically less compared to last night however there was still a bit of a residual burn. The 1/2 mile was still relatively easy to run.

Do you know who Kenny George is?

If you were 7'7" you would be in the NBA right. WRONG! Not if your name is Kenny George. Kenny is in his 3rd year of college at UNC Asheville (Not the Tar heels). Let me remind you that Kevin Durant and Greg Oden went to the NBA after their first season in the NCAA...they didn't stay 3 like Kenny has so far.

People don't really know about this kid and most sports programs don't cover him. I mean the kid is 7 feet 7 inches tall, 365lbs, size 28 feet, and some disgusting 8'5" wingspan, and can dunk without leaving his feet! Why the hell isn't he in the NBA? Well for starters he sounds retarded when he talks and honestly...he kinda sucks. But you can decide for yourselves. Oh ya, I forgot to mention...hes not even a starter.

I recommend watching the entire clip becasue Kenny gets taken to school at the end by Tyler Hansborough...although I'm not a fan of his...what he does in the end is awesome.

P.B. In the picture I believe thats Rayshawn Terry...who is 6'8".

On your marks...get set....GO!

I decided today that I will be training for a 5k. Thats right, I will be running a staggering 5k. Ok so thats only a little over 3 miles but still.

I started training today by running 1/2 mile. I was able to do such pretty much with ease, but afterwards noticed an increasing burn in my throat of all places. Now I'm not new to running what-so-ever, I loved to run in Reno and Portland but in Vegas its a different story. The air is more dense, it's dirtier, and its dry...the complete opposite of Reno and Portland. So getting used to the difference in the air is the only thing thats going to hold me back but I'm fairly confident that I will be acclimated to it come Saturday.

So watch out 5k here I come, and if anyone else wants in be my guest. You can read about it here.

Billy Crystal?

I'm sure a lot of you baseball fans out there remember when Garth Brooks was trying out to play pro baseball. Every so often we hear about stories like this, and today was no different. In case you didn't know...Billy Crystal will be playing for the Yankees in a spring training game this Thursday. Thats right, no its not some baseball player with the same name...It's Billy Crystal himself.

They say it's not for publicity but who are you kidding. You choke in the post season and rid yourself of the manager who took you places...and now you might be loosing some fans. So what do you do? Get a celeb to play ball for you. Thats what I would do at least. Best of luck to you Billy, but worst of luck to the rest of the Yanks.

If you don't believe me you can read it here.

Fuck Phones

So I have a PDA phone, which is supposed to be for business type people right. Well fuck my phone because it was daylight savings time crap last night which means we lost an hour...well my damn phone still hasn't updated its time. So fuck technology.

Drum roll please...

The list is in. Bill Gates...You are NOT the richest man in the world. No sir, in fact you have dropped all the way to third. Second place belongs to Carlos Slim Helu...the Mexican telephone mastermind, although if you do just a little bit of research you will find that he is LEBANESE!!!! Sorry Mexico, it will be a long time till a Mexican makes this list.

So who won the top spot this year...none other than Warren Buffet. At a stagaring $62 billion dollars the man can change his underwear every time he goes to the bathroom and never have to worry about wearing the same pair twice...what a life.

Congratulations Warren.

Warren $62,000,000,000.00
Carlos $60,000,000,000.00
Bill $58,000,000,000.00
Me $ 132.15

Watch out boys here I come.

Just when you thought you had seen it all

The other day on the radio I heard you can now rent 30" wheels for your car. Now this wasn't that crazy to me as about a year or so ago I saw a Rolls Royce Phantom lifted somehow with 30" wheels on it. So you had to know it was coming. But today...I saw something I never thought I would see..
Thats right...FORTY TWO INCHES OF CHROME FOR YOUR CAR!!!!! Total cost for a set of 4 and 4 tires...roughly $30,000. Now that doesn't even come close to the real price to have these on your ride. You need to re-gear everything, get a beefier transmission, and upgrade to a much better brake system, so realistically your looking around $50,000 just for these.

I saw give it 2 months and you'll see them rolling around town.

NOOOO!!!!

There's very few of these individuals in this world. You might be asking who right about now and heres the answer. Michael Jordan & Barry Sanders...two athletes whom you enjoyed watching. They were enjoyable to watch no matter what happened. They brought excitement to the game.

And now...Brett Favre has retired...after 17 season...after every record conceivable, it's all over.

Will any of his records be broken? Probably...Will he ever be forgotten? No.

I'll personally miss watching you Brett.It kinda feels like he just rolled over and died doesn't it.

How Sad

So as many of you know I was in San Francisco this past weekend to visit my aunt. This means we didn't leave the house much so what else...I watched TV. On the news I saw something disturbing, now I'm not a PETA member or a vegetarian...lord knows I love my beef and I know that the only way to get the beef is for the cow to die, which I try not to think about but after this video from the news...I find it just a little more difficult to continue on my ways.
Call me crazy and all but if you were one of the messed up individuals that did this or ordered it to be done...then you and the same people who molest children or beat them up are all in the same boat. And none of you deserve to live.

Prison is too good for people like you.

My 100th post

So this is my 100th post and it seems it will be used to defend myself. I have apparently made some outlandish remarks that I thought the Giants would beat the Patriots :::cough Gaytriots cough::: in the super bowl. I believe I called 3 games all season and 1 game I called it something like 10million to 3 so if you want to call that a prediction then go ahead and do so. If not then I called 2 games all season and I went 1 and 1. 50%...thats pretty damn good if you ask me. But anyways...here are my top 10 reasons why the Giants will beat the Patriots...keep in mind this is what I honestly thought before the game.

1. The Patriots db's are way too over aggressive which will come back to haunt them.
2. The giants haven't lost on the road the whole season.
3. The patriots haven't lost all season but should have lost at least 4 times.
4. The refs will not be able to blow calls or show favoritism as much.
5. Tom Brady is not as effective under heavy pressure and the giants will bring pressure throughout the game.
6. Eli manning is coming off the best streak of games hes ever played.
7. Tom Brady is coming off one of the worst games of his career.
8. Bellicheck has no respect for the game of football and will coach over aggressively leading to turnovers.
9. The Giants will go into the game knowing that they should have won the first time and knowing that they can win this time.
10. The Patriots are full of themselves

Take it or leave it, I was right and you were wrong.

Go sit in a corner and cry because the Patriots are NOT the best team of all time and they did NOT go undefeated.

This is HI-larious

I don't know how I stumbled upon this but I did and I find it funny as hell. Just check it out.

Weather

You have got to be kidding me. Consider this a rant, a complain, a venting...whatever you want to call it...call it.

Its February 10th, which means it is still winter. Why the hell is it a staggering 70 degrees here in Las Vegas. I know that it gets into the 100s in the summer and 100s during the night time summer months, but come on!

February 10th and 70 degrees during the day, 50 degrees during the night!

You know what pisses me off more than the weather is the damn news...you listen to the news and during the forecast you hear "Looks like we will see 75 this week, we're finally warming up!" And then the damn newscasters are like "ohh I cant wait."

Go to hell!

Im a gambler

and I hate it...so today because I'm now broke because of gambling...i did something even stupider. I purchased a game for my computer.

The game:

Chocolatier 2 - A game in which you come up with fancy chocolates and sell them. $20 down the drain.

I need help.

Irate is an understatement

I walk into my 7am English class just to spend the first 10 minutes talking about the Superbowl and how the Giants won but no one thought they would and those who say they thought they would are full of shit.

Well you know what, fuck all of you people who say "No one thought they would win" because on multiple times I said, and I quote "the spread is way too much, theres no way the Patriots will cover". On another occasion I stated "bet the house on the Giants". And if thats not enough for you I even predicted the score twice on my blog and once on myspace...Giants 24 Gaytriots 17, in those same words. Look it up, their times stamped by the server from when I posted it so I didn't change it. I wasn't far off was I?

So I ask you, if I honestly did not think the Giants could or would win...WHY THE FUCK WOULD I PREDICT THE SCORE THAT HAS THE GIANTS WITH THE MOST POINTS, LAST I CHECKED WHOEVER HAD THE MOST POINTS WINS THE FUCKING GAME!

Yes I called the game, No I don't want a cookie. What I want is for people to stop thinking I'm a liar because I can say "I thought the Giants would win." And no it wasn't a lucky guess, I can list at least 10 reasons why I KNEW the Giants would win but I'm not going to in an effort to save time. If you want to know ask and you shall receive all 10 reasons.

WHOOOOOOO

When it mattered they choked

at a baby giants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Patriots

SUCK A BIG FAT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck Tom Brady
Fuck Bill Bellicheck
Fuck Teddy Bruschi
Fuck Mike Vrabel
Fuck The whole god damned team

Here we go G-men rise up to the challenge and make 99.9% of this world happy.

Here we go Manning Jr.
Here we go Strahan
Here we go Coughlin

Here we go boys, today is your day.

Giants 24 - Gaytriots 17

A new first

I've been using a loofah for probably 8 years now...never, and I mean never have I done what I just did. I was doing the usual scrubbing of those 2000 plus body parts when I noticed that the lather was amazing today, just out of this world frothy cleany goodness. Kind of like when you wash your hair with Garnier Fructis...

So I put 2 and 2 together...I put Garnier Fructis, hair shampoo, on my loofah instead of body wash...I felt like such an idiot.

At least now my body hair has more volume, sleek and shine than before...oh wait...thats a bad thing.

Im so pissed

I ordered a new K&N air filter for my truck from this online company, autopartswarehouse.com. I get the part today and its the wrong model, so I look up what its for, and it turns out its for new model Ford's and Lincolns. Since I have an older model GMC, this obviously will not work on my truck.

I call the company and tell them whats going on, I get placed on hold for 10 minutes until finally the girl comes back and says "sir, the model you ordered is for a GMC so I don't see what the problem is." Again I tell her what happened and then she asks for my vin number. WTF does my vin number have to do with an air filter?!?!

I ask to speak with the manager to which she says and i quote "But sir, hes with another customer right now, I can help you." I say no thanks I'll wait. 20 minutes later the damn "acting manager" gets on the phone and doesn't understand the problem. Once again I explain, the packing list is right, my order I placed is right, the package that was sent to me was wrong...finally he gets it.

So when it comes time to send this back he asks if I wanted to purchase the right item. I tell him I've already purchased it and I want the correct item sent to me. Seems easy right...no, I have to send this back, wait 4-6 weeks for the claim to go through and THEN they will send me my damn air filter unless I want to front the $56.00 for a new filter, then get reimbursed for the return 4-6 weeks from now.

I told them to go to hell and if I don't get refunded within 1 week of me sending the wrong item back I would sue them and report them to the better business bureau. Thats when the guy offered me a free $100 coupon to use on my next purchase.

What a joke. 56minutes and 13seconds down the drain, all because of their mistake.

Boredom

I've been so bored of late. It seems like theres nothing to do. Superbowl is this weekend, big whoop. How bout dem Giants huh. I need some spice in my life.

Giants 24 - Gaytriots 17

-This is The Dream, over and out.

Kinda weird

So I signed up for this DAT class (Dental Admissions Test) in hopes of scoring well on the test. Well we had our first 2 classes, then last night after our second class I find out the next class is February 21st....So now I have nothing to do from Wednesday at 10am until Monday at 7am...
...
...
I need a job.

P.S. I added a comment board to my path to the NFL site...feel free to drop me an encouraging message or whatever. The Path to The NFL

The broke get "broker"

I'm only taking 2 classes this semester at UNLV, as opposed to the full load of 5-6. I went and bought my books today...

2 classes - $50.00
books for 2 classes - $411.29
UNLV Education - priceless...literally

This is a joke

Last night was my first DAT (Dental Admissions Test) class offered by Kaplan. This class is no joke, its basically a comprehensive exam of every science class you would take in a science major, all that reading comprehension stuff, math up to calculus and some other new things that your supposed to just be able to figure out on the fly.

Anyways so this class, a $1,300.00 class sends me a confirmation email that I have registered, that my payment has been accepted, and where my class will meet. This is where the joke comes in, It says that my class will be at a location on Maryland Parkway across from UNLV. So I decide to get there 15 minutes early to find the place, class was at 6:00pm, I was there at 5:43pm.

I pull into the place where the class is supposed to be but can't seem to find it. The Kaplan sign is on the sign where they put all the other signs on in the front so I kept looking. Finally after asking 5 different people, they say Kaplan has moved to across Gordon Biersch on Paradise, roughly a mile away. I speed over there, and can't find this damn place. Again the sign is on the shopping center but I cant find this damn place. I'm calling and calling...no answer. Finally I go into this back office building and after walking through a maze I find it.

Guess what....the class has been moved from there as well, It's now at UNLV. At this point I almost just said fuck it. I was going to get my money back and call it a day...but finally I get to UNLV, had to park half a mile away, then I had to find where this stupid class is. By the time I got to class it was 6:51pm, I spent more than an hour looking for this damn class.

You have my home address on file, you have my home phone number and cell number, you have my email on file....WHY WOULDN'T YOU SOME HOW LET ME KNOW THE CLASS HAS BEEN MOVED!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so disapointed in myself

I know that I can never take a nap. When I take a nap it screws up my entire sleep schedule, if I nap for 1 hour Ill be up 4 hours past when I wanted to go to bed that night easily. Well today...knowing this...I decided to take a nap. I don't know why I didn't just get up and leave the house or start doing anything to keep me occupied, but at 4pm I decided to take an hour nap.
..
..
..
..
I woke up at 12:37am...Now what am I supposed to do?!?!

I had just pulled an all nighter Saturday/Sunday so that I could get my sleep schedule to where it needed to be for school...and now this.

So I got a letter today from Portland State University (PSU) claiming I owe them $1,287.23 from last semester. I don't know where this charge is coming from. When I call PSU they say it was a portion of your tuition last semester that was not paid, therefor you are being billed for it now and it is accruing interest each month. Here's the thing though, I can show that I payed over $6,000 last semester to PSU, and that was for only 2 classes. Now they want to say I owe another $1300? Where do people get off thinking they can do shit like this. I know for a fact that my account balance was $0 when I transfered out of PSU, otherwise they wouldn't have released my record.

Add this $1300 to the $4000 I owe St. Mary's Hospital in Reno from when I had food poisoning and my "insurance" decided they would only cover $1100 of it and I'm $5300 in debt to NON-FINANCIAL institutions. Just when I was getting over my credit card debt I am dealt a new burden.

I have less than $100 in my bank account, and no sign of significant money coming into my hands any where in the near future. I need a job that pays well fast.

Oh and by the ways...my car is falling apart and needs over $1500 worth of work.

Whoo Hoo!

So school started yesterday and I'm proud to say that I have done something for the first time in about 6 years. If you guessed I went to all my first classes, you would be right. For the past 6 years or so, not only would I not go to the first class, but I would miss the next 5 or 6 as well. It's something I'm not proud of but thats in the past.

The last time I went to all my first classes, I ended up pulling 5 A's and 1 A-, lets hope this time is the same.

Apparently Im taking off like a 747

About a week ago I was approached by some individuals regarding my blog. The individuals were from Bigblogcollection.com and they wanted me to be on their site. Some of you may have noticed their link on the side bar of my page under "Blogs of Interest", I'm sure at least one person noticed it. It's basically just a directory of blogs filtered by category. As of today I am officially on their site, you can find it under "Society & Culture", check it out.

I'm also now on Technorati, an online community of bloggers and blogs, so if you get bored check them out as well, it can be quite entertaining.

"The Dream" is moving up in the blogasphere

Http://thepathtothenfl.blogspot.com. All the rules are posted and I will need your help to strictly abide to them for the first two weeks. Please help me live my dream so that hopefully I can help you live yours.

Old Persian Men are Crazy

So I have this uncle who's in his mid to late 70's...no one really knows and those who do know don't tell. Anyways, I decided to show him my gym that I'm currently putting together in my garage. Thats when it all went down hill. I got lectured for 45minutes on various topics...in classic Farsi, as opposed to modern Farsi...I said 2 words in those 45minutes. Here are the main points of what he said:

1. Weights do not help your fitness, they are bad for your health
2. Run 3 miles 3 times a week
3. By the end of the 3rd month, you should be able to run the 3 miles in under 10 minutes every day
   
4. Always run in the middle of the day when the sun is at its highest, for that is when the tress are producing the most oxygen
5. There are 2 Gods that matter in this world, your mom and dad, you must do whatever they say without question
6. The only thing money should ever be spent on is food
7. You need to be a doctor, if you become anything else, you are a failure in life
8. The only thing you need to do in life is be a teacher
   
9. No matter what anyone in this world says, they don't know what they are talking about, only listen to what I say and don't be afraid to ask me anything
10. The only sport that takes any skill is tennis and basketball, everything else is a game for kids
11. Look at yourself naked in the mirror and determine your goals

The only reason I remembered any of what he said was so I can blog about it. I can't believe what a crock of sh*t my uncle is trying to feed me. I'm sick and tired of my family trying to mold me into what they want me to be. Run 3 miles in under 10minutes? Impossible...I did the research for you and him 12minutes 37seconds is the fastest, when I told him he said thats wrong because 10 years ago he was running it in 11minutes and when he was 30 he was running it in under 8.

I'm laughing so hard on the inside that my thirst has been quenched.

It's Over

School starts on Tuesday so I'm going to just go out on a limb here and say that the holiday season is officially over. In the past years I have loved the holiday season, when the sun starts going down at around 5pm...I'm all about it. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years...what's not to love? Well this year I frankly thought the holiday season sucked. Maybe it was the fact that I was back home again, and it wasn't really a vacation for say. Or maybe it was the lack of amazing food. Or maybe the lack of who knows what...but for me, this holiday season wasn't what I hoped.

As the sun beings to set later and later each day, and the 120 degree days of summer inch closer, I regret to say that I am not already missing the holiday season. In fact, as far as I'm concerned...the holiday season never happened this year.

See you next year?

Disorganization

When you hear the word "disorganization" you think of a child's room, or a pig's pen...some would even say politics. But at a caucus you would expect things to be organized, this was not the case. Nevada had it's first ever caucus today, in fact its going on right now. I attempted to attend such caucus which was set to start at 9am. I got there at about 8:15...at 8:45 there was about 300 people standing around waiting to find out where to go. We moved from the cafeteria of the high school to the gym and back...then everyone was told to go into a room with their precinct number on the door. I went to the room for people who "didn't know" their precinct. Once in there I was questioned about where I live and all that jazz.

After about another 5 minutes of this and that, I was asked to leave because I did not belong at that school. So I left, I don't care to find out where I should have been, and honestly I could care less about caucusing....it's just not for me.

And yes, caucusing is a word.

a legend lost

The greatest chess player this world has ever seen has passed away. Bobby Fisher died yesterday of kidney failure. There is too much to say about what this man has accomplished to list here, one would need a book as thick as the bible to accurately depict this man. If you've played chess you know how tough of a game it is...Bobby Fisher was playing better than you'll ever be at age 7. May he be missed.Bobby Fisher

(March 9, 1943 - January 17, 2008)

No Comment

I just finished watching a movie and am left speechless, a rare occasion. I'm not sitting here thinking if the movie was good or bad, I'm thinking about whether in certain cases...The Code of Hammurabi should apply. The movie is The Girl Next Door, not the romantic comedy from 2004, but a new thriller from 2007. I don't know why I downloaded this movie or what even made me watch it, I'm usually a drama fan, but it happened and now I have to try and stop thinking so I can sleep.

I don't care if you live in Antarctica, If you don't mind watching a movie on your computer, then let me know and ill burn you a copy and even send it to you for free if you don't live in Las Vegas. It's not one of those movies I think everyone should see, I just don't want to be the only one I know who has seen it.

If I had to rate it I would, but I don't so I won't...

Is it our businness?

So here we go again. First baseball now celebrities...lists are being released on individuals using steroids. Now there are certain cases in which one is required to admit to the public on account of doing something illegal (i.e. A convicted child molester informing his neighbors in many states that he is moving into the neighborhood) but when do we draw the line. Does it need to be made known who has taken steroids and when? Now in baseball and professional sports I can see the reasoning...it is looked at as cheating, and God knows any reason to not like Barry Bonds and I'm there. But come on, everyone knows celebrities are notorious for drugs and alcohol, you had to know some where using roids....but the recently released list may shock you. The names are in and being that they are celebrities they are guilty until proven innocent.

• Timbaland
• Mary J. Blige
• Wyclef Jean
• Tyler Perry
• 50 cent

Personally I wouldn't accuse 50 cent of anything but hey thats me!

P.B. (Post Blog) Vote on the left

Oh Hell No!

Anyone who knows me knows I love the cold...heat get the hell out of here. I'm talking winter time I like it about 20 degrees at night, about 40 during the day. Summertime is a different story, I've been unfortunate to live in Nevada for 22 of my 23 summers, but realistically I like it no hotter than 80 in the day and it has to at least hit 50 in the night...how many times has that happened in this state....maybe 10 and all when I was in Reno. That's why I cant live without Air Conditioning. But now...I might have to...

California, that state to the left, has begun to piss me off. They have begun talking about regulating the publics thermostats in their home. However they decide to do this it just doesn't seem right to me, and if they do do it to my area ever, The first thing I will do is buy a window unit, and if that fails...you better believe I'm moving.

Read about this travesty here

G2

If you've been watching any TV lately you've seen the commercials for the new Gatorade coming out, G2. We'll I'm here to tell you that G2 is out and it's good. At 40 calories a bottle, how can you go wrong? And in case your wondering where to get it, I'm sure your local neighborhood convienince store can accommodate...but if not, Wal-Mart is stocked to the rafters.

Download speed

Remember when you first found out that you could download songs onto your computer for free? Remember when it would take upwards of an hour or more to download those songs...that was only what...maybe 10 years ago? Well last night I downloaded a TV show at 400mb (full audio cd's are 700mb) in under 4 minutes. This was the fastest I have downloaded any single item. I've never felt so amazed!

A Tough Morning

I had to get up at 7am to take my mom to the Dr's. Now usually this wouldn't be a big deal but since I didn't even get home till 4am, and then for some reason I stayed up another hour and a half eating some left-over fired rice and watching some episodes of Jericho, so getting up early was quite difficult.

I dropped my mom off and went to grab some Starbucks for a little hot cocoa. This is where I just lost it. I'm walking up to the door, I'm about 30 feet from the door walking on a straight line when this half-bred Asian woman spots me at about 20 feet away from the door. She glances me the look and speeds up her walking.

Now if you were to make a list of my "pet-peeves" this would be up there for sure. I'm no more than 8 feet from the door when the half-bred opens the door about literally about 3 inches, to the point where everything shes wearing rubs against both the door and the frame and she almost gets stuck. She finally budges through the crack as I approached the door, runs into line and then shoots me back a glance as I got behind her in line.

So I started thinking, maybe she is late so I GUESS it might be somewhat understandable....but NO. She gets her drink and proceeds to sit down in one of those big comfy chairs, you know the ones that you don't sit in for less than 20minutes, and starts relaxing.

I can not tell you how much restraint it took for me not to go to town on this individual. And to think that had I have got to the door before her, even if she was still 15 feet away, I would have held the door.

Panera Bread

The verdict is in...Panera Bread is legit. Almost didn't even have to pay, from the free bagel samples and pizza samples being given out for free, could have packed the old tumtum for less than a pack of gum. I'm not talking about little Costco sized samples...I'm talking full slices of za and as many pieces of bagels that you could want. The food...not bad itself, the fact that its "healthy" even better. So from now on, anyone who wants to do lunch...meet me at Panera.

American Gladiators

After last nights second "episode" of American Gladiators, I was left somewhat unsettled. The interviews are really starting to sound scripted...as everything is now a days on all these "reality tv" things. Now I don't have a problem with this but I'm starting to think if the "competition" is scripted as well.

For some reason it doesn't matter if a person has a 2 second lead or a 2 minute lead when it comes to the gauntlet at the end...there has been 3 instances in the 6 races so far in which the person with the lead gets way ahead but can not for the life of them get up the "travelator" and then of course the person who was behind catches up and somehow...makes it up the "travelator" to a stunning, dramatic, impossible, all-odds against them, you cant write endings like this victory. Leaves me wondering...

American Gladiators

Who can forget those words:
Contestant ready?!?
Gladiator ready?!?
::Whistle::
After 12 years its finally back. Of course the gladiators have changed, some of the female gladiators are gorgeous, and now they play for $100,000.00. Leila Ali and Hulk Hogan host this "revival" but the theme has not changed, one in-shape person and one everyday Joe going against crazy mofos.

Ill be the first to admit that some of the interviews sound 100% scripted but who cares, thats not why we tune in. Glad to see it back and I can't wait till they announce a celebrity edition...can you imagine T.O. out there? or Mike Tyson? or 50cent? or anyone else they can get...I'm getting excited just thinking about it!

It's set to run Monday's at 8pm...NBC...don't miss it again if you missed it tonight!

2007 "Rap"-Up Video

I heard this on the radio last night and thought it was funny as hell. So heres the music video for it which provides just the right amount of visual to understand everything being said. Enjoy, and remember apparently its the year of the robot.

New Slang

I was playing some poker on Facebook with this fine little thing from Wales when she started unknowingly introducing me to her "slang". Ive decided that I love this slang and I'm going to start using it...so if you hear me use it, you know where I got it from.

• Lush - Instead of saying something is cool or nice or good...you say its lush. (i.e. Roscoe's chicken and waffles is lush.)
• Proper - Used to intensify. (i.e. That girl is proper hot. or That hat is proper.)

Proper thanks go out to Abby and her lushness. If your ever in Vegas, hit me up...we'll get some proper drinks.

(post blog) Driving

The drive back to Vegas from Burbank took some time. We got caught up in the traffic of the Rose Bowl and then some extreme winds running through the San Bernardino Valley. After all was said and done, We made pretty decent time. Unfortunately for some truckers however they didn't. You see when a sign says "High Profile Vehicles not Recommended" when your going through a valley, it means lifted trucks and Semis, just park on the side and wait.
Those are 2 different semis tipped over from the strong winds. We also witnessed a tunnel cover go flying off a truck and across the road.

(post blog) New Years

Went back to Roscoe's to get the real thing, the place was packed!MmMmMmMm look at that. Fried chicken, Belgium Waffle, Butter, and Syrup...what could be better. Thats what it looks like when they bring it over. And this is what it looks like when they take it away.

(post blog) New Years Eve / New Years

Ok, girls in California have nothing on Girls from Vegas...I mean it's not the difference in how they dress...its just the girls...they don't compare. But if it wasn't for 2 girls from Australia there, I probably would never remember this night.

For some reason I decided to start dancing, not real dancing, not freak dancing, not ballroom dancing...just stupid "hey look at me" dancing. Joel, sitting on the couch laughing his ass off decides to throw me a bottle which I caught like a champ, you would think i played tight end for the Packers. For some reason though I had to be fancy with the throwback, a simple toss wouldn't do. No I had to go behind my back. My dumb ass hit this poor Australian girl right in the forehead.

I spent the next 30minutes helping her clean up the blood and her wound. I've never felt so bad in my life...yet it still remains hysterical. That poor girl now has to live with a gash over her eye for the rest of her life, and every time she does her hair or make up...she gets to think of me (I guess thats not that bad)

Moral of the story...Not even I can be bad ass all the time.

(post blog) New Years Eve

Take yourselves back to that day before New Years, that would be New Years eve. Now imagine 3 fresh young men on their way to Cali...you just imagined MMG, Joel, and myself.

We made the drive to Burbank to hang out with some of MMG's old friends and help them ring in the New Year's Vegas Style. Now let me be completely honest, I had no problem staying home alone and just chilling, but with the promise of Roscoe's on the line, I had to go, for those of you who don't know what Roscoe's is, I feel bad for you.

Roscoe's...the house of CHICKEN and waffles just happened to be out of chicken when we rolled in at about 5:30pm. So what do 3 resourceful Vegas guys do? We headed over to KFC and brought some chicken over...KFC chicken with Roscoe's waffles...not bad.

My Beard

Wow, in less than a day there are 7 votes, 5 in favor of cutting it and 2 for keeping it. Let me be honest here for a second, I'm loving the response from this so lets up it to the first to 10 votes wins. I'm also debating "lining-it-up". Let me know what you think about that.

Lack of blogging

Ive been out of the blogging mood as of late, but here we go. I need some votes on something that actually matters this time. My beard has been growing at a steady rate for the last 2 months and now that I can shave it, I don't know if I want to. So here we go...who really cares about wether or not you want to watch a movie about a gay superhero. I just wanted a poll on my page, now heres a new one and one that matters...answer the poll to the left...the first to 5 votes wins!

P.S. Post blogs are soon to come
