Support your local stunt rider The link goes to the radio station website that says they're gonna give away 1 million dollars to the person that recruits the most people to sign up under them. I go over to Stuntlife.com alot and this is where I got the link from, the guy says he'll use it to get some more stunt riding events going. I signed up...didn't kill me.
Today...just another day, not much goin on....I am pretty damn hungry right now though can't even concentrate. gotta get food.

Sprint PCS Picture Website

Well I figured out what the deal with Sprint was....the website won't work with Mozilla, Well the picture.sprintpcs.com at least. I don't understand why different sites can work one day and then the next they just don't....oh well.

::: Edit :::
Speaking of which the new address for the Sprint picture site is http://pictures.sprintpcs.com
I don't have my Sprint phone anymore since I switched to Nextel but I guess I'll be dragged back to Sprint kicking and screaming one way or another.

Well I went to the auction Sat. and picked me up the 626 I was talkin bout. It's a pretty nice car, I'm gonna try and resell it though and get some more money to buy a different car. I'll probably do that until I get a decent car that I like. I was trying to look up the blue book value of the car, its sayin that for a private party I can probably find one in my condition selling for about $2500. I'll put it up for like $3200 O.B.O. and I'll see how it goes. It was pretty decent earlier today, about 60 degrees....I wanted to pull the bike out and ride but I need a new front tire. ......So of course I did it anyway....Hey, I needed gas :) Well I brought it back home and wound up dropping it in the garage trying to put it on the center stand. The bad part came when I was trying to get it up and broke off the button for the starter....sux. So I'll have to price that to see how much I'm gonna get hit up for that. I smell like a freakin gas tank right now though, because some gas war coming out when it was on its side. Good news is I didnt flood the tank.
Tomorrow its supposed to be like 66, but of course its gonna rain the whole day.....oh yea, i forgot...I can't ride my bike anyways. ( We'll see )

If no one knows....Sprint sucks, for some odd reason the pictures website has been down for 3 days for "Maintenance and enhancements". If it takes this long to do that it better be good......and what if it isn't, Well then I'm just basically screwed yet again by Sprint. I have so many freakin pictures that I would never be able to move all of them with my cell phone. It already takes five minutes to get to the 6th picture in my inbox.
Oh, great news....my car is trying to tell me something, "Fix me damnnit" it seems as if one of my spark plugs was cross threaded when it was put into the head. So now I have to either get a new head for my car...or get the hole fixed, both of which I dont think is gonna come cheap. Well maybe the head will...who knows, just have to find out. That means I'll be without a car for awhile, unless I happen to get the one I want at this auction tomorrow.

Well I had my pre-arraignment for my reckless operation ticket, went in and pleaded not guilty so I have a pre-trial later on this month. I started a thread about this on the StarBoyz Forum I got some great responses back that made me understand the specific ordinance they're trying to throw at me. If my pre-paid lawyers do their job I should be able to get off the hook for it. Since I wasn't endangering anyone's lives or personal property I should be good.
Other news, I'm going to an auto auction this weekend....tryin to get this 95 Mazda 626 hopefully I can get it for the low. I would get that...sell my pontiac and then work on selling that so I could get another car.
Have you ever had one of those moments where it feels like everything you do is life changing? But the moment lasts a few hours and every second seems like eternity. I'm not saying this happened today or anything but today just made me remember the past. What if it turns out that some of the things you think you're doing for the right reason, really isn't the right reason or even a good reason. What if what you really think is meant to be...really isn't, that would mean that what's going to happen is still going to happen regardless of whether or not you think you know what it is. All these riddles for somethin so damn simple.

It's about 66 degrees currently and I can't ride my bike, my tires are seriously bald and in need of changing. I'll probably wait till december to get them, I know I'm not going to be riding anytime soon so I might as well wait....actually I probably would of still been riding if I had new tires anyways. My name has been officially changed, went and had my final court hearing today. Other than that today has been a pretty normal day...nothing too exciting happening. I am eyeing this car, its a used Lumina...I forget how many miles it has. I'll probably go there and wave some money in his face and see if he'll give it to me. Then I'll turn around and sell my car, I need to start building up some extra cash flow so that I can afford it get a new bike and a new car next year. This is the bike I want This is the car I want
I think its pretty possible to get both of those, get my house done, and get another house to either sell or Section 8. Which reminds me that I forgot to go look at houses today, but I guess since It seems like I have no time anyways I'll probably have to wait till later in the week.

Well what is on my mind for today, Well I guess tomorrow I go for my official name change. Its been a long time coming...don't really know if I'm excited though, Its almost like I'm becoming another person. Maybe I could stand a change, I kind of crudded up my current name for the time being. You know what....at one point I thought that I would be able to write on here things I wanted to say that I knew I wouldn't be able to all the time. Now it feels like I've backed myself into a corner to where I have to censor myself. Things I write on here will have a good chance of getting read and interpreted in ways that I probably don't want it to be. That's probably cool with people I don't know and don't associate with on a regular basis. What if I say something on here and then I have to answer for it because someone doesn't understand......I don't really care if they don't understand but i don't really want to answer questions about it either. Oh well, just got to live with it I guess. Veronica (currently in Iraq - Germany girl to those that know) said she had leave coming up on Dec. 13th, she didn't tell me if she was goin back to Germany or coming to the states...hopefully she'll be able to email me again so I can find out.

Well I got to see my movie yesterday, I even went again today....of course there are a lot of people that didn't like it but I got out of it what I wanted. Anyways, its cold now...so I guess that means the bike can be put up for the winter. ( I think I need to put it up anyways because I need a new front tire) *Sigh* I'm already starting to miss riding, but I'm gonna be on my hustle this winter so by next year I'll have another bike to play with. I'll probably spend this time finding other riders, new riders and possibly gettin a crew together. Next summer is gonna be pretty crazy, I have definitely turned into a motorcycle nut and I'm tryin to bring along as many people as possible. Right now I only know of a few that are definites to get bikes, others are hopefuls. I'm lookin pretty hard for stuff about stuntin.....
*Sigh* I got to fill out 2 absence forms for this week for work for being late. I just need to make sure I get here on time the rest of the time. I also need to get some more stuff to put in my cube....It's lookin kinda bare.

Well the last few days of this heat wave are leaving, so we'll be back down to the mid-50s pretty soon. I guess for normal people that would be the end of the bike riding as well.....not me, as long as its not freezing I'll be riding. I need to at least get a good wheelie in before the winter. Hopefully the people that were planning on getting bikes next summer will still get them. They just need someone around that's gonna continue to hype them up, I guess I can be that person. Also need to make sure I try to get more people to go the stunt class in Cleveland, that should be some good times so when we come back we can have our own stunt team. Next summer should prove to be a pretty good one, I think by that time a lot of people are getting more established, people will have their bikes, and everybody will just be having fun.

Well, I guess tomorrow is the day....Matrix Revolutions comes out, I'm going to be at the 9 a.m. showing. (I'm such a Matrix nut) I've been reading all the reviews about it and the critics have not been nice at all. I guess that's what you should expect though...their critics. I just don't think they understand all the other mediums the Matrix comes to us in. I guess if they just saw what I saw then they could appreciate it more.

Anyways, I guess I've already talked about bike riding and the Matrix...what else can I talk about? I guess my best friend is a good candidate. I guess the super secret news is that he's supposed to be moving down here....from a few months till for good. Is this a good thing? As long as he knows that he's coming here to work on himself then it will be, if he's coming here to reestablish what he had in Milwaukee...then there's gonna be some problems. Of course, he would want me to help him rebuild him empire...which I'm not going to do. It took me years to shake off the effects of Milwaukee, and now I'm clean and sober (don't worry there were no drugs involved)....just in the sense that I'm not the same person I was back then, and that I'm not all that eager to reclaim my once held position. *sigh* Well I guess I will only find out when he gets here.

What else....We moved offices...We were on the 2nd floor, now we're on the 4th I know that's not really exciting....but it sure is something different. My cube has a little bit more space but I'm not sure if its from the desk or just the new organization of my stuff on it.

Cookie...Smookie...Someone needs to give me a cookie for dealing with my freakin CIS 111 professor. I don't think I've ever met anyone so hell bent on destroying me, well not just me her students in general. Well I guess that can't be the case because she treats her favorites like......well her favorites. I turn in superb work and still manage to get so many points taken off...its ridiculous. I'll fix her though, I'll get all of this straightened out.

I'll give a cookie to anyone who knows what this is?

Yes.....I'm slackin...I know. I'll get it together soon enough though, time just seems to be going by so fast though...I need to catch up. It's getting very chilly now...I guess I'll concede and get my bike ready for the winter. It's been fun while the time lasted now I need to concentrate on other things, like getting out of my CIS 111 before my professor tries to come up with new things that she can do to get me out of her class. We'll see tomorrow.......*Note to self - I still need to write that letter.

Another moment to think....a guy that works with me died earlier this morning NEWS REPORT This is not something you can get used to, you see a person one day and they're gone the next. There's no warning....you don't see it coming...there's no billboard...no signs...just death. What will his family do? What's going to happen to his kids? Does that mean he really isn't going to be coming into work today? I mean...for real...he can't be dead, I know him....I helped him move his family into their new house. We would go to the movies in our off time...it can't be for real. Where's the guy that says "Yo Yo Yo!" whenever he walks in. Hmmmm...I don't know...you never know.

There we go!!!!

The weekend is almost upon us.....I'm looking forward to it, but I already know that I'm going to do a lot of work this weekend. I got a programming project due on monday and I need to try and work on this program for work.....ALSO...I need to get my bike legal (Title, tags,etc...) Even though its cold I'll probably still be riding...... :D *Big Cheese* I'm actually getting hype....there's a lot of stuff I plan on doing to that bike and I can't wait. Today was pretty uneventful, I spent most of the day waiting to go to work. I started watching K-Pax on TV at about 2:30 and of course I started to get into the movie right before I had to go (I was almost late to work) and then I had to miss the last 15 mins of it. That's always the worst. I just put together a new Redhat 9 box that I'm going to use as a repair box while I fix another computer that has Windows XP on it. I might even wind up putting Redhat 9 on that box if I can get the repair box to do everything I think is needed. Speaking on Linux, I called myself investing in the future welfare of the computers that are on our desks at the help desk I work at. I would definitely like to be using linux but of course there's that one software program that we need that only runs on Windows.... Remedy. As of right now there aren't any truly successful implementations of people getting Remedy to work on linux. Well one of our network admins said that he was able to do it, only he was only able to do it under Lindows. Well I guess its better than nothing so I figured I'd chime in and get him the new 4.0 version because I really hate windows NT. Well I decided to try it out for myself at home.....it sucks. So I think what needs to happen is to find another way to get remedy in Linux. Hopefully if I search long enough I'll find something.

www.UpOnOne.com - Motorcycle Videos, Pictures, Links, News, Reviews, How To's, Shops and More! This is where I'm going to learn the EXTRAs that come with riding a bike. Also ZX6R.com - For the Ninja Riders

But let me emphasize that there are so many mor things out there like what I just talked about, I just didn't want to take up the whole page.

What is it that disturbs me?.....hmmm.....The color of this damn blog disturbs me, but that's not what I wanted to talk about. I think two things that bother me the most right now in the US are rights and technology. Of course technology rights are a big thing with me since I'm so into technology. Well what's going on and why am I disturbed? Back when the thoughts of shutting down Napster I began to develop my own opinion of what was going on. Yes, I was one of the millions downloading music from there....does it make it right? No....but I wasn't going to pay $17 for CDs that were utter crap. I had a few speeches and papers that I needed to do for my communications and english classes at my college....so I wrote about Napster. I didn't sit and write about how I just wanted to download music for free forever and ever, I actually wanted to see what was going to happen down the road because of this. What I found scared the crap out of me really, it showed me that in the years to come what we wanted in regards to technological innovation was not going to occur....not because it wasn't thought up or implemented but because someone a few years back made laws that stifled that innovation before it could have even come to bloom. We go theDMCA you can see more info about it at Anti-DMCA, basically I would go to The Electronic Frontier Foundation because they have all the laws, bills that are being introduced, reintroduced....whatever. If you look at the different things that have been introduced you can just tell that these weren't made for the people in mind, in fact the people can protest till they're blue in the face but no one is listening. Does that mean stop telling? stop getting the word out against these rights infringing laws? of course not. Let's take the DMCA for example they have took upon themselves to sue everybody....businesses....individuals....anybody that has any kind of connections with P2P File Sharing, but for christ's sake they sued a 12 yr old girl and 71 yr old man...just recently they wanted to sue a 66 yr old women for $300,000,000.00 I all the zeroes in so you could see how much money that is. (The woman was a case of mistaken identity) Come on now, this is ridiculous....if it's that serious I won't even bother to buy CDs anymore, because this is sure not encouraging me to. Then you got the Copy Protected Media if you do buy CDs. Then you got Internet Censorship going on....but its going on with Google and what something like that does is basically erase whatever it is from existence. Why? because the majority of the people use google to search and if you can't find it in google you probably won't look elsewhere to find it. That's some heavy stuff, but it as well goes unnoticed by the public...then you got things that were supposed to be here to help us which could really be used against us. USA Patriot Act Even this crap with SCO and GNU/Linux is garbage the only thing that all of these issues really shows is that money talks and not everything is done FOR the people. The GNU/Linux issue is of concern to me since I like to run it myself, but the bad mouthing that Mircosfot is doing is pissing me off. I guess the hope for me there is that so many other countries are migrating to GNU/Linux that if there ever comes a time where the US just pasts some crazy law, banning Linux I'll have plenty of other places to live. Well that was my partial rant for the day....gotta go.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe - On a George Foreman Grill

Yes, you heard it right......Grilled Cookies. Now, this wasn't my idea but the results were pretty good....Especially for cookies baked on a grill. The grill shown above is not actually the one that I own, mine is a little smaller....$10 at Walmart. I wasn't really the one baking either, a co-worker of mine decided to borrow my grill.....why he had the cookies at work? dont ask. Anyways, what he did to bake his foreman cookies: He used the cookie dough sqaures they might have been Toll House, I can't remember. He also elevated the front a little to make sure the cookies didn't slide out. Since my grill was so small he sat them 3 across and left them in there for about 3 - 3 1/2 minutes. Yes, they did come out slightly burnt and funny looking....but hey he made cookies on a Foreman grill. I don't know of any health issues with this....so try at your own risk, if I get some crazy cookie disease then you know something went wrong.

I need a new car......I need a new identity with good credit so I can get a new car. *sigh* Bad credit sucks....I mean really sucks, I wish I would of new that when I was having funfunfun charging up everything under the sun with those first credit cards. It's my fault though, being hard-headed I should have listened to my parents. (Now that's a first) Anyways, I will work somethin out. My first design project for my programming class is due tomorrow and I also have to figure out when I'm going to test out of my pre-req for the class as well.......busy busy. The nice days are leaving and I don't have the title or tags for my bike...so I'll probably miss out on the last of the nice days. Don't matter I'll ride it when its freezing :) Okay, well maybe not.
