MadPilot Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I remembered I still had an account here and decided to check what was going on. This place still seems quiet compared to a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 my upper back is still in pain. but i'm still alive. My car can't be inspected until i get a damn grill and light panel on it...looked in a junkyard yesterday and couldn't find a grill, so i was like 'o well........' if i get ticketed, so be it. -_- it's a stupid law anyway. i got like 97 hours left of downloading to do before i can play galaxies. shouldn't be but a few more days.....heh. i get next friday and saturday off, on saturday (the 18th) i'll be at the monster truck thing at wachovia stadium/colloseum in wilksbarre.....o the 17th is st patricks day.. speaking of st patrick, i looked up my last name, "Brogan" on wikipedia and found out that the name originated with St Patrick's nephew, it's also the name of a shoe brand in the civil war era. I don't know what i'll be doing after summer...hoping i'll be good to go for the army...but with this recent back pain...no telling....hopefully the pain goes away and it's not something serious. in spring i'll be going on lots of walks and hopefully i get good at running again. i haven't walked a mile in like....forever. just hope when i start walking/running that i don't get run over by a drunk.

Commander 598 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 My last name points to a State Holiday in Conneticut, a town in Alabama, a village in England, a college in South Carolina, and a surname meaning red in cornish. Your worried about Army training? I'm not worried much about Marine Basic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 well yes, as the first time i went, i failed. still not sure if i am going to go through with it. i won't go if i can't get the mos of my own choice..not like last time where they pretty much gave me a ****ty list and i was like 'o that sounds cool' and went to basic april 28/29 '04...went through all 9 weeks of it, it wasn't bad i didn't mind the screaming/caping as much but those damned PT tests....i couldn't run for **** because i couldn't breathe due to upper respiratory tract infection. i ended up going home on the 8th of august. I would have gone back last year, but my ****ing wrists were too weakened (carpal tunnel or stress fracture) from loading millions of listerine bottles on an assembly line for 4 months and i couldn't do 1 pushup. took that forever to heal, found this miracle drug called 'glucosamine sulfate' and that seemed to help both wrists and knees. at least now i can do like 25 pushups. but i need to get back to 35... whatever happens while at basic/boot, you don't want to get an upper respiratory infection. it could hurt your run. and start drinking a gallon of water a day to make your bladder huge so you won't have to be in the group that has to use the latrine first. at least in marines basic you guys get to be out in the field more. the best part of basic for me was the field training exercise.

Keyan Farlander Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I remember testing for my black belt in TKD. We had to do each of the 10 forms we learned, and after each one, do 50 pushups. So that was 500 pushups plus other exercise in the space of about 20 minutes. It was pretty tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander 598 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Going to the bathroom(Or whatever your branch calls it) usually isn't a problem for me. can wait all day through school and can still hold it if i'm willing to trade comfort for time. Of course, I don't exactly drink alot... BUT, I can still hack it if I don't mind the temporary dehydration. I'm trying to get myself back up to 50 in one set. Two sets of strep throat and poison ivy really weakened me, not to mention the heavy apathy I was having over January and February... The recent warm weather has brought my morale back up.

Rogue15 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 you will have water shoved down your throat so much it leaks out of your ears. anyway... you'll be alright. just be careful w/the poison ivy if it bothers you, be esp careful out in the field. i was one of the few fortunate people in my platoon that wasn't bothered by it. (you should've seen the look on the lt. colonel's face when he saw my 'hasty fighting position' surrounded by it). when do you leave anyway?

edlib Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 Mixed 13 different bands back to back last night. Fortunately, they gave me the night before to setup and soundcheck it all, so I wasn't doing it all on the fly this time (like I normally am.) However, that equates to 2 long days and late nights in a row, instead of just one. I think I'm gonna take today off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Went with my mother to visit my aunt at her new house. Very nice. We all went out for breakfast... well, technically lunch, since the meal took place mid-afternoon. But we all ate breakfast food, and it was my first meal of the day. I then got dragged along to a giant furniture store. The store was pretty cool (Jordan's Furniture, for those local readers... I'm lookin' at you Wildstar... by the way, my aunt's new place is in Brockton.) We spent a long time there. That place is huge. After all that I still had to go into the wholesale club. Didn't get much this time, though. Watched "Raging Bull" when I got home. I'm left with the impression that it was a bit overrated. I never saw it when it was out, but I remember it getting rave reviews. DeNiro did a great job, and some of the camera shots were fabulous... but as "one of the greatest films ever"... I dunno. Didn't do it for me, I guess. Maybe it's one of those things you had to experience at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Saw The Libertine last night. Let me tell you it is not a date movie or one that you should watch with a girl of any kind. Or another guy. Or tell anyone you saw it after you rent it and watch it alone in the dark. How it pulled an R rating instead of NC-17 will continue to amaze me.

Nute Gunray Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I remember back when all the forums merged into LucasForums, I had the most posts out of all people. Now there's tons of people that have like twice as many as me. I always wonder "where are these people posting." Its mainly curiosity because I couldn't give a **** about how many posts I have. Oh boy a running tally of how I'm squandering my brief and horrible existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Most of the 'big-post-count' folks tend to spend much time in the RPG forums, from my experience. My favorite poster was the the one who totally eclipsed my post count before the end of their first month since registration. I had to wonder about that...

Rogue15 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 got my car fixed up on friday...went with my dad to a junkyard and got the parts...it seems my car is somewhat rare. i guess 'limited' has a meaning? -_- at least we found the parts we needed, so patched it together on the car..getting inspected sometime this week. i'm late for it but o well. at least i'll have a march sticker now, i hate having to owe money in february. worked yesterday and found i had umm...accidentally gave someone 30% off a camera instead of the 10%...my bosses were pretty pissed. o well, at least the person i gave the deal to was hot. *shrug* anyway....gave a coworker a ride home last night, then i went home and played a bunch of xbox...Cabela's Outdoor Adventures, Full Spectrum Warrior, Ghost Recon 2, and finally Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. I'm trying the last 3 in hard/expert modes for some good fun. I forgot how cool Chaos Theory was, so that may be in the xbox for a while. Today i went and deposited some money in the bank...gave the teller the wrong amount and she had the funniest expression on her face. like i was trying to pull something. Afterwards I went to walmart and got 27 dollars worth of groceries....my sister hates when i do the grocery shopping, I hate when there's nothing to eat for lunch. So i bought like 10 microwaveable pot pies, 5 cans of tomato soup, 4 cans of tuna, a loaf of wheat bread, box of packets of instant oatmeal, 2 bottles of mountain dew, gallon of crangrape juice, miracle whip, relish, eggs, and sunchips. That should be enough to last 2-3 weeks. After i was done at walmart (took me 18 minutes) i went to blockbuster and turned in assault on precinct 13 for starski and hutch... came home, then i had some tomato soup and a tuna sandwhich, washed the dishes, and put my clothes away. I've got about an hour til i have to go to work...think I'll polish my combat boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 How about banning it all the time? I shouldn't complain... this year really hasn't been too bad.

Keyan Farlander Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 So I saw Billy Joel last night. Great show. He's really sounding great these days. He did a few "obscure" songs, which I appreciated. It was great to hear "Everybody Loves You Now", "The Entertainer", and "Zanzibar." I was hoping to hear "All for Leyna" and "Sleeping with the Television On", since I know he's done those a few times on this tour, but no luck on those. It was great, though. The band really sounded great too, as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 That sounds cool, Keyan! Spent the day lounging around the house. Had a list of stuff to do and blew them all off. Taking a few days off next week on account of spring break. I'll do everything then. Plus, I have to work tomorrow... kinda long day too. I figured I should take it easy today, and not wear myself out and be useless at work tomorrow. Downloaded and installed "Warbirds 2005" a WWII flight combat sim. It's a free download, and you can play all the single-player stuff free for unlimited time. To play online costs ya, though... but that doesn't affect me... I'm nowhere near ready to take on anyone else at this point. I had to wipe a thick layer of dust off my joystick first. It's a tough game. The physics are meant to be totally realistic, so you pretty much have to learn to just fly an aircraft even before you can hope to engage an enemy. It will be months before I can hope to bring down a slow-moving bomber by myself... let alone dogfight another fighter. I have yet to land without leaving a crater, either. But it was good to play something that forced me to use the joystick again. And puttering around the skies of Britain in a Spitfire or Hurricane is my idea of a good time... even if I know that in real life I'd be killed within 10 seconds of engaging the enemy. Damn those Me. 109s!!! Watched the original Manchurian Candidate. I while back I saw the remake with Denzel Washington... which was OK. I liked this one a bit better.

Rogue15 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 watched 2 movies.....my sister picked em out.. 'the cutter' starring chuck norris.....she got it cause i was repeating those jokes from that one site, which reminded her how much she hated that guy....so i pretty much made fun of the movie while watching it. then watched 'dummy' which was lame but funny. the monster truck jam was awesome. i took over a hundred pictures. we waited at the end in line for an hour to get autographs. that was cool. my parents went to the cabela's store while we were at the monster truck thing and my dad picked me up a dozen arrows, which is really cool cause now i can attempt archery again. my ****ing car is still in the shop....the guy didnt get around to inspecting it....so hopefully monday they don't find anything else wrong and they better not ****ing charge me an arm and a leg....it's bad enough that the gas prices went back up again. -_- i wish they'd just put it all at $5 a gallon and be ****ing done with it. god. i have tomorrow off...not sure what i'll do. I don't have any money to do anything, and it's ****ing hoth outside, so scratch hunting i guess. i had the most ****ed up ****ing dream last night....dreamt i somehow had a kid. and i found out and was like 'HTF did that happen.' and felt all weird and panicked. when i woke up i was scared ****less. i hate kids and babies especially cause they are a ****ing pain to take care of it's bad enough i have to take care of myself. much less a ****ing kid. hell with that ****ing ****. i prefer to remain a single virgin for the rest of my life than get it on and end up getting a ****ing kid out of it. **** that. meh. then i dreamt i was on the way home by myself from the monster truck thing and it was snowing like **** outside and my car slid off the road and i jumped out just in time and my car sunk into the river. right after i got it fixed and inspected. i was like 'well **** that!' and walked away like it was just a normal everyday occurance. dreaming sucks. i used to never dream after i moved from lititz to beach lake, i didnt have any dreams for like 3 months. now im dreaming up all kinds of ****. -_- sucks. i wish i could get an operation to remove that 'lonely' emotion. it's annoying. think i'll go write out some plans and ****. all those dam vault energy drinks are kickin in.

Nute Gunray Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 At some point in the last two weeks, I think I finally grew up. Frankly it scared me. It started when I got a new shower curtain. I hung it up and thought "that looks so much nicer, and it makes it a lot brighter in here." Then I rearranged my living room and liked the way that everything flows a lot more than it used to. Then my toys started going into boxes and put away. And today most of my movie and actress posters started coming down, even though I just got a new one in the mail yesterday. Now I'm looking at real deal art to get. Art, by artists! That people have heard of! Of course, all the kiddie movie posters and whatnot are probably going into my bedroom because, well, I dont want to throw them away. I swear, if I go out and get a job tomorrow I'll explode. Every seen that movie Big, starring a young Tom Hanks? You know how just all the sudden the one day he was all grown up? Not the part where he was physically grown up, the part where he sleeps with the girl and then the next day is all like "i'm an adult" and acts like a total bastard to his friend. That's happening to me. The rest of you: save yourselves while you still can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
