Rogue15 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 just watched 'scorpion king' for the first time. better than what i expected. work was boring. this time of year is slow. -_- at least it's not snowing. oh yeah, my muffler...needs a replacing, glad i got that 1 year warranty on it...may go visit Kost Tires and have them tell me what's up. work and car stuff aside though, i'm feeling depressed. **** to believe i'll be 23 on sunday. what a ****ing wasted beginning of my life. 4 years down the toilet. but, it's been a hellalot better than sitting on my ass in a class. at least i keep telling that to myself. at least i'm not in any kind of debt. <---crap attempt at cheering myself up any. not helping. *checks weatherbug* Mostly cloudy in the morning...then becoming partly sunny. A chance of flurries. Highs in the lower 30s. Northwest winds 15 to 20 mph. Depression sucks. Car problems suck. Tooth aches suck. Glasses suck. Work sucks. Having a day off that i don't know what to do with, really sucks as i'll probably just sit at computer because it'll be too cold outside or maybe me kneecaps will be feeling ok to let me workout w/o experiencing unnecessary discomfort. o well. i want to go fishing, but pennsylvania requires me to have a valid fishing license...damn it, i'm half broke. gotta pay car insurance. yippeeeee....it's due on my bday.

edlib Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Buck up, 15. Birthdays always tend to make me depressed too... I hate the idea of getting older. But just because life is ****ty right now doesn't mean it will always be that way. Things can get better... especially if you work at it. Still... sometimes you are going to be down and there's nothing you can do about it, and nothing anybody else can say that will help. I think it's just part of life. Try to have a good one anyway.

Rogue15 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 yeah...so i go to get my mail and i got this tax **** from lancaster.....havent lived there in a year and 8 months, so what the **** they doing that for. now im just pissed...and bored. it's ****ing cold outside, was planning on going out hunting, but **** that. guess i'll just waste 24 hours doing nothing. god i hate this. actually...i better clean the kitchen so my sister doesnt bitch at me when she gets home. that's another thing that's starting to bother me. it's just as bad as living w/my parents sometimes. all that ****ing yelling at me to do this and that. never once have i yelled at anybody to do anything, i just let people walk all over top of me, then i just bottle it all up inside because i find arguing over **** to be rather pointless.

edlib Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Kinda dull day at work. Babysitting orientation meetings for incoming students. Yawn. The temp. outside dropped like 30 degrees today. Now it finally feels like winter around here again. Quite the shock to the system. I need a good winter coat. I should run around some night this week and see if I can get my hands on one... Tired. Think I'll order some food (sure as hell don't feel like cooking...) and get to bed early. Chinese sounds right... Maybe I can get some reading in before I conk out. I haven't been doing nearly enough reading lately. Feels like my brain is getting soft. Softer. More softer than it was already soft. See what I mean? I miss my Strat. Been playing the 335 a lot more now that the Fender is sick... but it's not really the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afterwards I will hop over to a friend for cooking, making some music and smoking some more of those sportive cigarrettos. ****ed yesterday. Moved stuff out of my flat on monday. Received a very good blow job on sunday. I still have to do the dishes in my flat, because I didn't touch it since July, but I'll have to move out on January 31st.

Wildstar Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I don't really have a top 20 album list, but I will say that I agree w/ edlib on Rush's "Moving Pictures". Others that make my list of favorites would probably be Metallica's self-titled "Black Album", Van Halen's self-titled first album, and Queensryche's "Operation: Mindcrime".

Zargon Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 better now than when you get a ticket for it being expired! I havent done much, I got some HW done for my javascript class done over the weekend, thats about it for the weekend on usefulness. I spent the whole weekend at the gf's just hanging out since we barely saw eachother since the middle of december. I did pick up Lost Planet for 360, its pretty amazing, reminds me a bit of mechwarrior for xbox(which reminds me that I never beat either of those). I have done alot of future planning, but thats about it, did some checking and engagement ring shopping seems like I am going to need about 4500 bucks for the ring and diamond I want..........that tightens the budget some! That has occupied a large portion of my free time lately, thinking about all that fun stuff. Talking to the girlfriend about it(getting married, not the ring, she doesnt have a say in that!). I am firmly against the whole 'going ring shopping together' thing, I beleive its up to me to get a ring that a) shows how I feel about her, and b) that she will like. I have a perfect ring in my mind, and I will show her a wide range of examples to sort out her preferences, but I am 99% sure she will like what I have already picked out anyways. But whenever I talk about she gets all quit, light red and giggly, so its fun to bring up on occassion. My twin brother(don't worry, fraternal, not alike, so there are not two Zargons running around the universe) is getting married this weekend, I have to pack and finish(ok really start writing instead of thinking about it) the toast tonight, I am the best man, I am afriad I will need a 6-pack to get the stuff he wants in it(hes all touchy feely) and I don't easily open up and write out heart-felt emotions, its my largest um...limiting factor as a true gentlemen I guess. Anyone having insites on a toast let me know, but the biggest hinderance is, I have met her 3 times, total time about a week, and shes really 'uptight'/reserved, and quiet, so I basically don't know her at all.

Zargon Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 then watched 'lucky number sleven' it was o.k. Just OK? I thought it was one of the best movies I saw all year. Extremely clever............ Anyone else remember good movies from 2006? It seems to be a pretty short list..... those with an * are ones I actually went to the theater for I also loved Inside Job over the headge was good. Crank was excellent(for an action movie) I felt Pirates II suffered from ESB disease, its merely junk to carry you too the 3rd movie. *Superman Returns was good imo, coulda been better tho, kate bosworth sucked it up big time. Munich was excellent, as was glory road, hoodwinked was good. Tristan and Isolde was ok, it dissapointed me. Underworld Evolution was alright, same with annapolis, coulda been better. The matador was way over hyped. The Worlds Fastest Indian was really good. Running Scared was surprisingly good. 16 Blocks was solid. Ultraviolet was a huge dissapointment. Failure to Launch was tolerable. V for Vendetta was really good. Benchwarmers was good, I was expecting a bit more though. The Sentinel was good. Stick it was pretty funny. *X-Men III, 'good', but shoulda been better. Cars was good. *Flyboys was really good. Beowolf and Grendel was awful The Lake house was decent enough. You me and dupree - ouch, thats all I got to say. *Flags of our fathers, I loved it. Beerfest funny, coulda been better, but good. *Invincible FREAKIN AWESOME Fearless was good *Casino Royale - probably the best bond movie ever. but it could just be that its by far the best I have seen in a theater Ones I still need to see: employee of the month(borrowed it just havent seen it yet) Accepted. blood diamond the good shepard we are marshall children of men rocky balboa curse of teh golden flour The marine All the kings men The last king of scotland The guardian Gridiron gang. The Covenant. The Protector Snakes on a Plane Ice Age 2 Night Watch Thank you for smoking. United 93 MI: III Goal! The dream begins larry the cable guy health inspector(my boss swears is hilarious) A Scanner Darkly. Clerks II My Super Ex-girlfriend( l like luke wilson) John Tucker must die.

Zargon Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 wow, so I saw alot more than I thought....also, some of those were watched because my gf wanted to see them. shes also the reason I didnt see alot of the ones I wanted too, she snot big into movies, esp not action movies.

Rogue15 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 yeah thats alot of movies.....i liked running scared as well (tho i can hardly remember what it was about, something about a stolen gun or something) and i loved Crank...(the part where he threw the cabby out was priceless) employee of the month was pretty funny. i wanna see apocolypto and saw 3 when they come out on dvd.

Nitro Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Oh, oh, and I almost forgot. Ahh, I'm also gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Sunday, too... I just watched that last night for the first time... Reminds me of the three years I spent working for AOL in their call center. And speaking of working, I got a job offer today from RBC (Royal Bank of Canada)... $31,000/yr, plus an annual bonus and a ridiculously sweet benefits package.

edlib Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I've only seen a couple of those movies last year... and all on DVD. Don't believe I ever set foot inside a movie theater last year now that I think about it. I saw: Cars Ice Age 2 Clerks II (a lot better than I thought it was going to be...) Pirates 2 I think that's it of the ones you listed. I also saw Nacho Libre... but I'm not sure if that's a 2005 or '06 release. Not all that great, either way. Not the greatest year for movies in recent history. Spent the day overseeing the maintenance crew. Nothing super exciting... but stuff that needs to get done. Still tired tonight. Woke up right in the middle of a dream this morning. That always throws me off for the rest of the day. God, it's hella cold outside! (Is that a contradiction in terms? Could be... although Dante had one entire level of Hell as a giant frozen lake if I am remembering correctly. I need to read that again...) I'm probably noticing it more since it was open-window, tee-shirt weather last week. Wildstar: I have all those albums you listed. Operation Mindcrime is probably my favorite Queensryche album... although I probably listen to Empire more often (shorter, poppier songs that you can listen to on shuffle. Mindcrime is an investment in time.) The Van Halen choice was hard for me... but Fair Warning is the album I listen to the most. It's the darkest thing VH ever did. 1984 is more consistent overall, and #1 has that classic party vibe... but I almost always go back to Fair Warning. I was never a huge Metallica fan... but that album is really good. Far better produced and more streamlined than their earlier efforts. I just watched that last night for the first time... Reminds me of the three years I spent working for AOL in their call center. And speaking of working, I got a job offer today from RBC (Royal Bank of Canada)... $31,000/yr, plus an annual bonus and a ridiculously sweet benefits package. First time? Where the hell have you been, son? And what happened to to the teaching career? As much as I love the idea of you influencing the young, impressionable minds of an entire generation,.. banker's hours are pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 The education required for said teaching career turned out to be a) too costly, and b) too much of an adjustment to make after working for 4 years. Failed every course I was registered in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Pity. I truly relished the idea in ways far too sublime to verbalise. Overwhelmed with music yet? Anything out of all that mess stick out in your mind particularly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I found a certain poetic quality to it as well... Alas, it was not to be. For now. I've been on the road going back and forth between here and Moncton for days now trying to find a place to live and nail down that RBC job, so I haven't had much time for listenin'... Spent more time on coach buses than my own bed lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I found a certain poetic quality to it as well... ****in' A. Commuting is teh suck, innit? Pretty much nukes my soul every day. By the time I actually get to work I'm usually in a fairly dark mood. Well, no pressure.

Nitro Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Yeah, thank God I'm moving... I'd go crazy if I had to do 3/4 hours of highway driving to go to work and back every day (Fredericton to Moncton = hour and a half in a car, 2 hours in a coach).

Wildstar Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 My brother & I had a "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" scene in the local WalMart parking lot last night when the battery in my dad's car decided to die. Fortunately, the place hadn't closed yet and we found someone with jumper cables. It was tough getting the car started, though, b/c of the crud on the terminals, which my brother wound up cleaning up w/ a bit of Coke poured on the terminals. Interesting thing is another car also died and the driver of that car asked us for a jump after we got our car started. Needless to say, I managed to get home with the groceries (the WalMart visit was a side trip after food shopping) and my brother couldn't stay over to work on a job application as was planned b/c he had to leave the car running so he could return it to my dad. EDIT: My brother's cellphone also picked that time to go dead, which further added to the urgency of the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 @Ed: I know it was in teh other thread, but that's been buried in the craziness now. Thanks for those links to the guy in your avy. I figured it was some kind of 70's shock rock with Alice Cooper or something. Some good reads I watched Anchorman the other day for the first time in a while...."you see....i'm kind of a big deal." LOL One of those, 'so stupid, it's funny' kind of movies. My start to '07 hasn't been quite what i planned/expected. I got sick right after new years. So i was down for almost 2 weeks, then it snowed here...and still hasn't left yet, it's been over a week. This is highly unusual for western Washington. In fact, I don't remember it ever lingering around like this before. But I'm feeling better and the snow looks like it's finally starting to melt away...yay. But i haven't worked in like almost 2 weeks...not like I'm on vacation...I've been stuck at home. I live on a hill and I don't have 4wd, so yeah....nothing but fun. :/ Oh and for the record, I'm tired of meeting/dating girls that can't make up their minds!

Rogue15 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 not much happening today....walked to the post office and back w/the mail, went to my parents to let the dog out, came back and mostly just been on galaxies all day. oh and i set my sister's computer up, the one that got nearly-fried....pretty sure the cd drive is toasted, it can accept cds but it acts like it's not reading them...also the computer is SLOW....shouldn't take 2 minutes to load 'my computer' should it? got the day off so im just chillin....gotta clean the place up before 1730...

Ikhnaton Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 how could you fail every course? and you think 4 years of working is a big deal? I was gone at least 7 years (ok, 3 years more isn't that much) and then quit working and did school full time. I had a 4.0 for my first 5 quarters. either you just suck at being a student, or teaching wasn't meant to be your thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 The former... Along with a little bit of biting off more than I could chew. I was a terrible student through high school and my first post-secondary education, but I'd hoped 4 years would've been enough to whip me into shape. In my urge to dive in headfirst, my first semester involved one first-year course, three upper-level second year courses, and one third year course. I had a lot of trouble writing papers for most of them, but the exams were the nails in the coffin... Four of them consisted of me walking in, then promptly forgetting *everything*. The only one I didn't blank out on were the third-year history of Russia course, but the poor papers I wrote (and re-wrote, and re-wrote, and re-wrote) weren't enough to pull my final mark above the pass mark. I thought my studying methods were pretty solid... Thorough coverage of everything over the days prior-to, going to bed at 8PM the night before, then a quick review of the overview in the morning before leaving for campus. I just wasn't meant for university, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
