brain storming

Man, Austin and I have a long list of stuff to make and create. Let's see, here goes:

  1. Potato Cannon (supersonic)
  2. Camp light [on it's way already]
  3. Taser [more of an Austin thing, I'm not start enough to help :P]
  4. Adjustable auto-fire firearm (including casting the metal)
  5. CO2 Laser
  6. Explosives of different types (napalm, C4, RDX, etc)

There's probly more, but I can't remember them all.

lock and load and stay on the road

There's nothing like a good event to jump you back to full alertness. Here's what happened on my way back from Heather's:

It was kinda scary. But the moral of the story is that wet roads, high speeds, and loose power steering belts (and thus lack of ability to correct) don't mix. Kindof the same way that lawn mowers and cats don't mix. But yeah. I'm alive. I was able to drive out of the ditch. And I'm tired.
.
HOPEFULLY we'll get to go camping/shooting tomorrow (or today) and the day after (or tomorrow). I'm psyched. And the fact that I have 250 16 gauge shotgun shells, 500 .22 rounds, and 250 9mm rounds sitting in a box next to me only increases the excitement. :) I like guns. But don't worry, just 'cause I'm crazy about guns, don't mean that I'm crazy with guns. There's a big difference and ppl would have you think that guns are innately bad and evil. Guns don't kill ppl, ppl with guns kill ppl. Especially stupid ones. Who think it'd be funny to point it at someone in jest. Or those who decide to look down the barrel of a loaded weapon **cough cough SETH!! cough**.

a new sword on the wall

I thought I lost my life today. And no, I wasn't in any life threatening situation; Heather was. She was in a car accident (the details of which are yours if you ask). After she left from McAlister's, I got a call from the Police telling me she was in wreck and that she was in the Emergency room. The managers let me go so I could see her. Thankfully she don't have any major injuries like broken bones or nothin', but it could've been worse 'cause the airbag didn't deploy. But she's bruised and'll be sore for a week or so. I thank God that she's ok.
.
Today's my birthday. I'm not a teenager anymore. Weird to think of that considering I was legally an "adult" two years ago... already been that long. Goodness times flying.

"i can't feel my torso"

It's really not cool when all you can see is this:Unfortunately, on my way back from Heather's, from New Market all the way to Madison, it was like that. No joke. So the trip was like, twice as long as it should've been. Fog is cool and all, don't get me wrong, but not when you're driving, especially at night.
.
Well, had a test in Accounting tonight, and I think I did prety good. Also had my "Midterm Portfolio" for drawing due tonight. The funny thing about that is that I totally thought it was going to be Thursday, so I still had a little stuff to touch up on and finish up. Fortunately I wasn't first to show and I had about an hour to work on the stuff I needed to and got it satisfactorily prepped. But yeah.
.
The back of my head hurts. Actually, the hair folicles on the back of my head hurt. And I feel kinda dizzy. Maybe the caffiene from the Dr. Pepper I got on the way back has something to do with the odd wake/sleep feeling going on. The DP has a bit of a story behind it. I was getting really really sleepy on the road, so I decide to stop at the first place I see that has a vending machine outside. As it so happens, just down the road from where I was at was a Piggly Wiggly. What's funny is that I didn't even realize that there were two cops and a couple of cars pulled over in the parking lot til after I had pulled in. Then the silly machine wouldn't take my dollar. So I left there and went to the Kroger down the road a bit. They were $.25 cheaper at Kroger than at PigWig. Yeah... that's my story.

"growl"

Goodness. I'm soooo tired of my classes this semester. Where do I start?
GEOGRAPHY: The teacher is a comlete idiot. Oh, he's smart, don't get me wrong, but an idiot none-the-less. I wish that what he wanted on the test would be in the book and I wish that he didn't want us to memorize evry word that comes out of his mouth. He's one of those people that thinks that he knows evrything 'cause he's the profesor and he's got the degrees in this that and the other and evryone else is wrong, stupid, and inferior. GAAAAAH!! I think I failed my first test evr (that I can remember) 'cause he wanted us to MEMORIZE evry single stupid climate zone on the planet: pun COMPLETELY intended. He wanted us to MEMORIZE them, to know the average temporature, climate, vegetation, etc of EVRY ONE!
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

PSHYCOLOGY: Not too bad, but waaaay too much work for one class in one semester. If this one class was spread over two semesters, I would really enjoy it, but it's an overload. Heck, if this was the only class I was taking this semester, I would enjoy it. BUT REALITY CHECK: I have a life, work 30 or so hours a week, and have three other classes. Hello?! Do the stupid college planners not think about any of this??
ACCOUNTING: Not half bad at all considering the other two aforementioned classes. Not too confusing, pretty straight forward. A little slow class-time, but can't complain too much. Teacher's nice, and realistic. All it is is simple-type math and some confusing-ish trasffering of accounts and junk.
DRAWING: Teacher's a really nice guy, but a little over-expectant at times. He assigns a junk-load of "scetchbook" drawings, drawings I like to call the "Compilation of the Moon" (a little insider I know), plus additional art to be completed outside of class. So that in addition to the telling us to draw stuff without giving any tips or nothin' at all is a little frustrating. Just a little.
.
But other than that, school's going great...
.
Stupid People: The reason life is so hard for evryone else.
.
Why do they require so much junk that has no application at all to the line of work that you intend? 'Cause they want you to be a "well-rounded" individual. MY FOOT. Just teach me what I need to know and let me go. STOP FORCE-FEEDING ME USELESS (useless to my field) INFO AND STOP TRYING TO TAKE AS MUCH $$ FROM ME AS YOU CAN AND JUST LET ME GO DO THE JOB I WANT TO. If you're not "well-rounded" by the time you're in college, it's already too late.

Yeah, the grunts are the coolest of the aliens. They may not be tough, they may not have a cool shield, but they have some of the funniest lines in the games.Ok, play time's over, now it's work time.

sleep: my anti-drug

Poor, poor, Geoff (or Goeff, as the managers like to put it on the placement sheet... anyway). He cut his finger today. By "cut" i mean "sliced off the side." not cool. Like, 3mm worth of flesh from the first joint to the tip on the side. I really feel sorry for him. Not a cool to thing to have happen, and a cool guy for it to happen to. He got to go home early (more like, forcefully encouraged by the managers) even though he didn't want to go and leave his job unfinished. I really wanted to do something for him, but i really didn't know what to do. I'm not good at that encouragment thing. I never know what to say. It's very disheartening when you want to help someone feel better (or at least not so bad) and you can't find the words to say. Anyway, all that to say that Geoff is cool and that it's not cool that he has to go through the wound he's been inflicted with.
.
but yeah.
.
Need sleep uber desparately.
Heather really isn't feeling well. That makes me sad. I hope it's nothing more than a stomach virus as she thinks it is; but at the same time, I hope it's nothing more than just a regular upset stomach from stress or something; but then I hope that it's not something from stress... well, what it all boils down to is that I hope it's nothing too bad and that she gets to feeling better soon.
.
Oh, and I want to get the new Army of Two game. It looks awesome. The whole based completely on co-op is awesome. Hope it's as cool as it's hyped up to be and as cool lookin' as the trailor.
.
By the way, that video tagged on there is the Ao2 trailor.
.
Peace out pplz.

"you never blink do you?"

  3. my thumb's acting up again
  4. i'm really tired
  5. hippopatamuses are very oddly looking
  6. sweet tea is so scrumtrulescent i can hardly move..........
and so now i shall end this peek into my insanity and go put minerals and burnt wood on sheets of wood pulp and chemicals.
