Sirens are there for a reason!

Ok I meant to put this post up last week but I had a busy weekend. I was drivin to school on Friday, gettin ready to go through an intersection on a green light. The car in front of me isn't moving, the light has been green for awhile giving him ample time to have moved his ass out of the way. He doesn't move. I don't see all this til I go over the hill with railroad tracks which is about 50 feet before the stoplight. So I try to slam on my brakes, not stopping in time, swerve hella crazy style into the other lane, give the guy the finger as i zoom past, then as i'm in the middle of the intersection i see a fuckin fire truck waiting to go through with his lights on. No damn siren! Had I heard something saying "hey look at me i'm a big ass red truck that needs to go pull a cat out of a tree" I may have been more aware and not have to almost crash into this guy. AAAAAAHHHHHH!! So yeah, if theres any firefighters/police/EMT's out there reading this, if you have an emergency, use your fucking siren. especially if you're attempting to cross an intersection on a red light. Stupid people.

Other than that, lets see. Panthers lost again. Damnit. Now we're 4-4 going into the bye week. I don't get it, we can't play a complete game. 1st quarter we were kicking ass, up 14-0. 4th quarter we were up 14-10. Then all of a sudden we fumble 2 kick returns, a punt return, and give up 25 points in the 4th. Its fuckin ridiculous. And we need to get Deshaun Foster out of the starters role, he's not a premier running back. Once De'Angelo Williams is healthy I really hope he gets some starts, he's going to be a much better player.

Spent the weekend helping out my buddies at this anime expo sellin some t-shirts. There are some weird people at these things. Everyone was dressed up and asian-y looking. It was like a big ass cartoon. I think we did alright though, it was our first expo and the website had only been up for a couple of weeks, so no one really knows who we are. In case you don't, check out www.fatrabbitfarm.com and see if theres anything that strikes your fancy. Also we're gonna be at the Thai Temple in North Hollywood next weekend, Nov 4-5. Its on Coldwater Canyon, just south of Roscoe, so if you're in the area stop by and check it out. You can get some thai meat on a stick. pretty tasty.

Finished my second papers for class, this quarter is almost done, thank goodness. 1 down, 4 to go. I don't think I did a good job on them, so that means I'll probably get an A. Whenever I feel good about a paper it does shitty and whenever I think its kinda half-assed it does well, so these should get like A+'s.

Wow that was a big blog. I guess thats what happens when you go so long between posts. Oh yeah, world series is over. Now offseason signings begin, hopefully the Mariners will get some pitching and a outfielder with some power. No more finishing last in the AL West. Ok so yeah, thats it. Check out the www.fatrabbitfarm.com site, also don't forget to watch Heroes tonight, 9:00 pm on NBC!

Heroes NBC Episode 5 Sneak Peak:

Alright so I'm sittin here in my intercultural communication class, bored as hell. I don't really need this class as far as knowledge cause I've lived in California my whole life, the melting pot of the US. But its credits and it was available to what the hell...

Heroes is quickly becoming my favorite show, trumping Smallville, The Office, and My Name is Earl. Is it because every week is another cliff hanger that leaves me wanting more? Possibly. This is one of the reasons I didn't watch tv for awhile and I would just buy the seasons when they came out on DVD, so I didn't have to wait around for a week each time wondering what was going to happen next. Curses. But it worked, I'm hooked. Whats the deal with Peter Patrelli? Is he like Rogue? He flies, he sees the future, its like he adapts to whatever power the person around him has. And how bad ass was it when Nathan Patrelli is gettin cornered by bad white guy and bad black guy and he just takes off. Check out the video above this post. Best opening thus far.

Yeah we're on a break, we're supposed to be meeting for this group thing afterwards that I'm not really looking forward to cause I greatly dislike group projects. Mostly cause I don't trust other people to get their parts done. Partly cause I'm antisocial and I don't like being thrown into situations like this with people I don't know. But we've only got 2 weeks left to finish and out of an 8 person group, about 3 are contributing useful thoughts. Boo to the other 5 slackers. Alright I guess thats it for now. Watch HEROES!!!!!

Fuckin bengals. stupid Chris Gamble, knock the ball down. Jake Delhomme needs to not throw a pick on 3rd and goal with the game tying field goal in hand. yeah panthers lost 17-14 to cincinatti. that pretty much bummed me out for the rest of the day. it was surprisingly productive however. i hung up a cabinet, installed a new doorbell, hung up a dustbuster for mi madre, i even took care of traffic school for that stupid ticket i got on the way to vegas. On that note however, god bless the internet. if you ever get a ticket you can go to traffic school for, do it online. its so much more easier than real traffic school. you don't have to go anywhere, it takes like 30-45 min rather than 8 hours (assuming you don't read shit and just take the quizes till you get to the end). I figure I know the rules of the road and if I choose not to observe them so be it, but don't try to make me sit in some dumb classroom all day for shit i chose to ignore. thats just my take. yeah my arm's been hurtin on and off, i guess thats what happens when it gets stuck repeatedly with a needle for 2 1/2 hours straight. the tat is lookin good though, i've been keepin it lubed up, no cracking, itching or peeling so far, which is more than i can say for my first one. i think the fact i invested way more money and skin for this one has inspired me to take better care of it. now if i could just get myself into the gym to get in shape and make it look that much better. maybe, but school has been stressful lately. too much writing. i just had to do 2 5 page papers 2 weeks ago, now i gotta write 2 more this week. i'm not lookin forward to it, but i just gotta keep my eye on the prize. i figure i can do anything i don't like for a couple months, which is how long the quarters are. hopefully the other classes i need to take don't involve as much writing. i'll probably be wrong. alright with that note, i've got class in the morning, so i guess i should hit the proverbial hay. night all.

hey so i got a new tat today, i think it looks pretty sweet. here's some pics of it. took a little over 2 hours to do, i may get some fill in later on, but it looks pretty good now. so yeah... here it is

Been awhile since my last post so I thought I'd throw somethin up. Watched a couple movies this week, I'll give an improptu review. The first was Man of the Year, the new Robin Williams flick. Wasn't quite what I was expecting. He did a good job but the movie itself lacked the feel of a good Williams picture. The trailers make it up to look pretty funny but its one of those films that shows you all of the funny moments in the commercials. It seemed like it was more serious than funny most of the time. So yeah, wasn't a big fan of this one. Since this is my first review I've gotta think of a rating system. I'm gonna go with strudels. Cause I'm Danish. So out of 5, I give this 1 Strudel. If you guys can think of a better rating system, I'm open to suggestions.

Next film was a new to DVD release, Click, Adam Sandler's latest movie. I may be a bit biased cause I'm a huge Sandler fan, but I thought this was a pretty good movie. Lately it seems like hes been trying to branch out and do something other than comedy, and this was kind of a combo of serious acting and comedy. He pulled it off well. It had its own little classic Sandler-esque moments but it also had a really good message behind it. The basis of the story is this guy is stretched to thin between work and family life, and he gets a universal remote control that controls his universe. He is able to fast forward through the boring parts of his life so he can concentrate on his work. The remote starts taking on a life of its own and before he knows it he's skipped through his entire life. The message says don't take life for granted, enjoy every moment cause it goes by to fast. Its a great story, well done by the writers, directors and actors. 4 Strudels.

Lets see, went to Knotts this week, it was fun. My accomplice was scared going around every corner, and it made for a good laugh. Got my papers back for class, A on both and a 90 on my midterm which was awesome. Smallville is gettin good with the Green Arrow plotline. Heroes was awesome again as usual. I'm tellin you, watch it.

Played poker twice this week, finishing a strong 2nd both times. Unfortunately in our games its all or nothin, so if you don't get 1st you don't leave with any money which was dissapointing. But it was good times. I've gotta make people start pitchin in on beer though, it can get expensive.

I think thats it. I've got an exciting week of writing more papers in front of me. Panthers are on tv tomorrow against the Bengals, should be a good game. Alright all, toodles.

today was good. with the exception of the hangover from my excessive drinking the night before that is. panthers won, 23-21 over the baltimore ravens and their 2nd best defense in the nfl. so that was exciting. went out last night, had a good time. i was supposed to go to knotts for halloween haunt but we found out they were sold out, so it gave me a good excuse to go to sonic burger, as if i ever need one, and i got to introduce another new soul to the greatness that is sonic burger. i should get free food for all the people i've turned on to this place. i'll write a letter. so yeah then we went to downtown disney to commence the drinking. i got to try a red headed slut, which was pretty tasty. i also found out you shouldn't drink the $6 shot at tortilla joe's. its no bueno.

went to the fall festival today, its way bigger than i remember it from when i was a kid, but they still had good carnival type food. funnel cake, caramel apples, dip-n-dots, bad ass tri tip sandwiches. good times had by all. to much walking though. being a professional gentleman of leisure i try to keep all physical activity to a minimum. so yeah, thats about it. good times this weekend. :)

Long day yesterday. 2 midterms, I think thats the most I've handwritten in like 10 years. Boo. Had to call lines at a volleyball game. I got $15 for it, however my knees are killing me from standing up for so long. Cursed genetics. I'm playin in a volleyball tournament this weekend, first time I'll have played really competitively since high school. It should be fun.

I saw the Dane Cook movie yesterday, it was pretty funny. Done by the guys that did Wedding Crashers but Wedding Crashers was way funnier. Not very Dane Cookish. I did see a preview for a new Will Ferrell movie that I may actually want to see, which is odd because I hate Will Ferrell. It's called Stranger than Fiction. Looks good, I think it comes out next month or so.

Last week and a half has been horrible, my dad got in an accident (barely) and he's been at home complaining every minute of the god damn day. anyone that knows my dad knows he's not fun to be in a room alone with, let alone be in a room with anyone else. every day its bitchin about his back, or the insurance company, or the guy that hit him, listening to him calling the insurance company 15 times a day telling the same fucking story overly embellished. AAAHH! yeah thats it

school sucks. even when you don't have to go. i keep telling myself to read and study for these midterms i got comin up on wednesday but damnit its too much stuff. hopefully i can bs somethin to pass. i usually do.

has anyone watched heroes? this show is awesome. todays was especially good. i won't ruin it for people that haven't seen it, but then again how many people can i assume are even reading this? well for those that do, if you haven't seen it yet, watch it. nbc.com shows this weeks episode. those that have, its frickin awesome right?!

i hurt my back playing volleyball today. it only further instills the fact that i'm out of shape, but for some reason doesn't inspire me to get back in shape. i know i could, i know somewhere in me is that willpower i need to get my ass back in the gym and lose this gut, build some muscle so i don't throw my back out everytime i jump. i just can't seem to find that willpower again. it probably doesn't help that the majority of the people around me are lazy also. damn lack of ambition. i guess that's kind of a central theme goin on in my life right now.

i think i'm getting the hang of this whole blog thing. looking back over this one it looks good. good account of the day and description of my feelings.

watch walk the line, it was a pretty good movie. not a fan of johnny cash or joaquin phoenix, but he did a good job and it was an interesting story. plus reese witherspoon is pretty hot.

i think thats it for today.....

ok so today was a decent day. started off with my panthers woopin on the browns 20-12. if it weren't for a stupid last second field goal we woulda covered the 8.5 point spread. but oh well, wasn't bettin on it, just messed up my picks for the week. got to have some dinner at chili's, always a tasty treat. yeah that was about it. still a bit down about everything but they say time heals all, so i guess we'll see where this leads.

dear lord i skipped a day! the blog gods will be upset at me. i guess its ok cause nothing really happened until about 3 am today. yesterday was a generally depressing day until around 11ish, I got to hang out with some buddies, drink some beer and play some poker. good times. i always seem to feel better when i hang out with them, have some laughs and talk about random shit. we decided to get some late night denny's, which was tasty. partly cause i was drunk, partly cause it ended up being free. myself and 3 individuals who shall remain nameless to protect our anyonymity decided since we hadn't recieved a box for our take homes we weren't entitled to pay for our meal. luckily my car has remote start which aided in our getaway. it had been awhile since i skipped out on a tab, it was quite invigorating. good times. needless to say that did sober me up quite quickly. so yeah, good times, today i get to sit around and read all day. stupid midterms. one day i shall rid us of these cursed tests. alright, we'll see how this day goes.
