Ducati Mike's Take On Everything Else

Return from Video Game land

2006-01-09T12:36:00.000-08:00

...yes I found my way OUT of video game land finally...well at least temporarily...I think I left something vaaguely important in there that I have to go get...

Well I'm getting out the navy for real this time. Looking around for jobs and such and going back to school...stupid jobs want people with degrees and such...oh well off to student loans land I go.

Damn motorcycle is still inop but not for long. With this check it's getting fixed...or at least mostly. We'll see how far the moneys strech and go from there.

Did you know apple makes a consumer computer with over 16gigs of ram and 4 proccesors...sheesh... throw in 2 30in lcds and you've got yourself a $25,000 computer that will most likely be obsolete in about a year. Damn.

I'm off back in to video game land...something about a...can't remember...must go...peace out.

So...long time no blog huh?

2005-12-06T17:12:00.000-08:00

Yep os it's beena few days hasn't it?

well not much has gone on since then.

The Dinner paty ...ahem..."cheese and Wine" party went rather nicely.

I think I figured out what Jen gets for christmas this year.

It's kinda her Happy Christmas and a Merry B-day present(s).

Got me a new game Call of Duty 2...the NEW Bane of jen's Exsistance.

Ask anyone who knows me that when I play video games I am 103% into the game

All else is put on hold.

Well off to video game world I go...wish me luck.

All righty then...

2005-12-02T13:49:00.000-08:00

So not much going on right now.

Tommorow Jen is throwing a Cheese and Wine party..with a bunch of friends. Should be pretty fun..

Finally got my computer running how I want it and everything so that is cool.

Went to In-n-Out for a commuter lunch today with some friends.

chatted with a couple of the dudes who, like me aren't actually working today.

I organized my desk

I was getting tired of it becoming a big pile of junk.

Well the home comp is up and running so more to follow in later days.

I like 4 day weekends!

2005-11-26T14:16:00.000-08:00

Well I had a great weekend so far.

Had Thanksgiving dinner with a bunch of friends.

Lots of people were in and out duing the day but here's the group by the end of the night.

Lots and lots of FOOD!!

Went to the Blaney Stone last night...had a bunch a Guiness!

Uli says the turkey was GOOD!

Well that's all for now.

Thanks giving

2005-11-23T11:53:00.000-08:00

well it's time for turkey

again.

sheesh.

I'm tired I stayed up late last night watching Jay and silent Bob strike back.

good stuff

hopefully they are letting us out of here early.

I don't see an reason for us to stay but I'm sure that in itself is a reason for my boss to hold me here.

well I'm lazy today so that's all the update for today.

Happy turkey day to everyone.

Let me be yo' Daddy.....(lol)

2005-11-20T16:03:00.000-08:00

Haha...apparently somebody else uses this computer to update their blog. The title above is what came up when I clicked in the title box....

Went and spent the weekend up in La Quinta (Palm Desert) with my grandparents. They are looking really well and we (jen and I) enjoyed our stay there emensely. Our bed had the temper-pedic pad on top of it and it was wonderful.

We hit horrendous traffic comming out of san diego of friday but we got in at a decent time. It was great to catch up with them. I haven't seen them in 2 years... It's hard to believe it has been that long. hopefully we can go out there a few more times this winter.

They gave us a nice painting, a full set of Bed linens and a spice rack (Jen really like that one)

I always leave there house with more than I came with. Well It's sunday afternoon so I have some being lazy to do...so off I go.

Ooops...I forgot.

2005-11-15T13:35:00.000-08:00

Ok been a few days since the last post.

I've been super busy here at work. This is not the usual.

Gotta start doin my christmas shopping. OH BOY!

I'm no longer going to the Phillipines..that got canceled.

still haven't fixed my bike but I got the pipes. free stuff rawks

gonna go shopping....like there's no tommorow tonight after I get off today..

This morning went by SOOO freaking slowly it was driving me f-ing crazy.

Ducati came out with a TIGHT new bike. the super motard.

http://www.superbikeplanet.com/image/archive/duckmoto.jpg

What day is it?!

2005-11-09T11:37:00.000-08:00

Oy...I like TWT's.

Watched the last two MotoGP races of the year. Milandri pulled 1st place on both.

I think I scored a pair of Carbon cans....they are a bit banged up but what about my bike isn't?

Need to get off my arse and see about getting both my tank and my subframe mended.

After that I need to get the fairings repainted....AGAIN.

Scored some tires from a buddy.

Think I'll price some of that stuff today since I'm stuck at work till 5 when everyone is getting off early...

EVERY fricken time it's an early day for other people I get shafted with a late watch.

I'm SOOO over the Navy. Can't wait to get out and fight for a job like everyone else.

I'm inching closer and CLOSER to picking up a VERY Lucrative Intel Job* in the Sandbox*.

I'm still waiting to find out if I'm going to JTF-515*.

Everyone is turning into Nazi's around here...don't do this, don't do that, that's not "Navy"....

Who gives a flying f-ing H E double hockey sticks!?!?

...besides you, you freaking Guy loving, brown nosing officer.

I wanna go back to bed...sitting here is WAY too tyring...I wanna go work out or something.

Blah.

Laters.

Refer here for little ( * ) thingies:

Sandbox- Arabian Gulf
Lucrative Intel Job- upper five figure bimonthly paychecks.
JTF-515- 6 month job off the coast of the Phillipines. Supporting EMIO* operations.
EMIO- Extended maritime interdiction operations*.
Extended maritime interdiction operations- Tracking down some JI terroists and grabbing them when they try and leave the country on merchant ships.

hehe... ( * ) ( * )

Test

2005-11-03T19:42:00.000-08:00

This is test to see if I can "email-to-bog"....

not much happened today...slept in...

watch the rest of my movie

watched another movie.

cooked some brunch

watched another f-ing movie.

tommorow i'm just going to go work out when I get up...

getting too comfy with all that movie watching.

I don't get paid NEARLY enough for this crap...

I hate working in the evening.

messes all my "quality time" up

man I've been looking at all the dudes blogs with like pages and pages of stuff in em

where the f do you ge the TIME to do that?

If I remember to get on here it's just a quick update and BAM...I'm gone.

Well looks like it worked...this is easier than signing on and stuff every time.

later

On Probation...

2005-11-02T15:16:00.000-08:00

Well I'm back in game but I've been put on probation.

Nothing has changed since yesterday really.

Still working too many hours.

tommorow the crunch is really going to start.

been playing b-ball alot recently.

I'm no longer wheezing by the thrid run down the court.

I still can't make very many baskets.

But I chock that up to lack of professional funding.

went to Kyoto Sushi for my B-day last night. Was a good time.

If any of you are in San Diego...look that place up. it's really good.

I'm gonna get my car painted here pretty soon.

Still not sure exactly what color I want it yet.

Well that's enough for now...don't want to over do it or anything.

Once Again...

2005-10-31T16:18:00.000-08:00

So not alot is happening right now....

Still working my butt off...

finally got myself motivated and in the gym.

Might be going to the phillipines for 6 months.

got all settled in to my new apartment.

still need a dining table

I'm working 12-14 hour days right now...i'm freaking exhausted.

my bike is SLOWLY coming back together..I haven't had a chance to work on it recently...(12-14 hr days)

probably not gonna be on here every day but 1-2 a week should be what you can expect...

well tata for now....scratch that, that sounded gay.

later peeps.

there that's better.

out.

OMG I posted!!

2005-10-19T16:43:00.000-07:00

Hey there peoples.

I moved back into San Diego

Ramona sucked.

I live in clairmont now and my morning commute is like 10 min.

saweet

It's expensive but worth it.

we got some free couches

they are odd but nice.

bike looks like crap right now...

it's a work in progress.

I need to repaint everything and do some other work on it

well that's it for now

Lot's of stuff not worth mentioning...

2005-08-16T08:59:00.000-07:00

...so I won't mention them.

Spent the last two weeks at school learning about Marine stuff.

Completely useless to me, but my bosses deemed it a nessesary evolution for me to attend, so I did.

Still looking for a good apartment to move into in clairmont. Living in Ramona is kinda nice but it's SOOO fricken far away.

When it takes an hour to get to work in the morning, that sucks arse hole.

Plus I drive a 3.8L V8 so just imagine my gas bill huh?

I'm not looking forward to the Nov-Feb time frame...we have THREE exercises back to back that we are doing during this time. RIGHT in the middle of the Winter holiday stand down which means VERY little vacation time for me. NOT COOL.

Side note. I'm going to be getting my bike fixed here shortly. Can't stand not being able to fix it. Totally sucks arse hole (much more than driving to work from Ramona)!!

Well I'm gonna try and get more regular here this week, kinda had a ruff day yesterday. Anywho...

Talk more tommorow.

Click on those... ------->

2005-08-10T12:35:00.000-07:00

You shall be rewarded....Alladin Style.

My profile pic broke WTF??!

2005-08-09T17:20:00.000-07:00

Ok so lots of stuff

Got my car running

it drives pretty good

still needs a paint job

transmissiony vacuum thingamabob.

some switches and a paint job

living in Ramona is nice.

clean air

relaxing

cept the damn dogs.

god I hate that dog.

(dog will remain anonymous for anonymity reasons)

haven't been blogging all regular like

cause I'm in class this last week and this week.

and I don't have the motivation once I'm at home to get writing.

today was a LONG briefing day in class so I had to stand up from falling asleep

drooling on my desk.

so more tommorow if I'm not too lazy.

PS I will be back to reading all ya-all's blogs soon...so just hang on tight.

Wooo....weekend hell

2005-08-02T08:46:00.000-07:00

Finished my move this last weekend.

I now live in Ramona, Ca.

Hick-ville so cal style.

it took all weekend to get out of the old apartment.

It was hot enough that I was dripping sweat of the brow of my hat every second or so.

I trashed that hat.

or I plan too.

saw Stealth and fantastic 4.

both good movies

both better than I though they were.

gonna see Duke's of Hazard for free tonight.

there are WAY too many bugs in Ramona.

I don't do bugs.

I really don't do bugs.

might have the benz running by the end of today.

got my fingers crossed for sure.

It might be a freaking RELAY...i hate cars

bikes are so much funner to own.

I miss my bike.

I'm gonna spend the next two months fixing it up.

I live RIGHT off two really nice riding roads.

the 78 and 67 are awsome roads.

also Higland valley road...

you guys don't have a CLUE what I'm talking about.

well I'm tired

hungry

so I'll blog more later.

Across San Diego in $2 or less.

2005-07-28T13:15:00.000-07:00

So my Car and Bike are still both still not working.

Hense my need to ride MTS or San Diego transit.

So I have to get from Point Loma to College Area. (SDSU)

Got a ride to the Trolley station

put two dollars into the machine

got a ticket

got on the trolley (green Line)

I think I actually like riding the trolley.

Don't have to worry about traffic

or idiot drivers

or gas

'Cept when you get off and take the WRONG bus to get to your house.

and start heading BACK the way you came.

So I still had to walk like 3 miles to get home.

Finally got home and it is FREAKING HOT in there.

turn on the AC and start thinking of what needs to leave the house that night.

ended up taking the junk dresser

the chair

and a bunch of trash out the house.

tonight I gotta try and get my trash couch out of the apartment

this is going to be a challenge

for sure.

Well gotta get ready to go work out.

have a good one.

Peace.

Oh, and glad SOMEONE likes my list.

2005-07-18T11:10:00.000-07:00

Did a LOT on Saturday. Went to AAA to get my new to me car registered in my name 414 bucks later it is just so. Stopped by at Bob's place and used his internet real quick like. Went to see my sister Beth in Temecula. She's down south for some concert in Riverside. Ate lunch w/ her at Claim Jumpers (Good while you're there, but sucks next day.) The drive up there was painful. We didn't have the top on the Jeep and it kept getting hotter and hotter as we got more North. On the way back down Jen and I stopped by her friends house to say hi. Incidentally this is the place we are temporarily moving to. Bought the new Harry Potter book and read it cover to cover by 4 that morning. For all you Harry Potter haters....screw off.

Went from the freinds place / future temp house to our friends BBQ in clairmont. Our friend Nicki's BF is now her Fiance...he proposed to her with all of us there. She said yes of course...and is the SOCAL RIDERS tradition...it was posted on the message board within seconds.

Sunday we got up late...at some chorizo burritos...mmmm oh wait that was Saturday. oops.

Sunday I don't know what I did in the morning. But for the rest of the day we spent packing, unorganizing and a CRAP TON of LAUNDRY...we get really bad with laundry sometimes...

I need a haircut.

Really I do.

I didn't shave my mustache.

Jen thinks I look like a perv when I don't shave it.

If I had a camera I'd let you decide.

Just imagine one on my profile pic.

Now post what you think regarding that.

Laters.

P.S. You can only get on the hot commenting girls if someone comments that you are.

Gotta have some sort of system.

2005-07-15T09:48:00.000-07:00

Is it only me or do Bosses get more bitchy towards the end of the week? Is it the realization that they will have no one to bitch at or boss around?

I'm in the military and along with that there comes some quirks like PT. (physical Training) It's manditory. Some people are less athletic than others and they end up on a "list". This list requires them to participate in work sponsored group PT. 5 days a week. One of my bosses is on the "list" he took a lunch to go work out.
"So what" you say? Keep reading.

My bosses boss comes up to me and asks ME where MY boss is. Isn't that the bosses boss's job to know where his people are? Anyway...I tell him he went to work out during lunch. My bosses boss spurts out and these are his exact words, "WHAT?! He can't go work out he has FEP later.." FEP is the kickname for the program for the people on the list. Now anyone in their right mind would go..WTF why can't he work out twice?! Well bosses boss went off his rocker and had three people call him and order him back to work so he could later attend FEP...

I LOVE my job. It's quite the entertaining bunch of retards that I work with.

side note: Dave and Busters sucks, is expensive and full of pompus rich lawyer wanna-bes.

I learned NOTHING I swear.

2005-07-14T10:48:00.000-07:00

Blog-hoping

2005-07-13T13:13:00.000-07:00

Ok now that I've done my mornings worth of Bloghoping and commentwhoring I'll actually post to MY blog.

Last night was TWT (Two Wheel Tuesday) If you're familiar with the SPEED channel then skip the rest of this paragraph. TWT is the day fo the week when the SPEED channel get their heads out their arses and stops talking about NASCAR NATION and switches to Motorcycle racing.

I'm a motorcycle type a guy (hense my name) and I hang out with assorted other morotcycle types, one our little guilty pleasures is TWT we pick a house and we all go and watch TWT...the races interviews, all this while we dring Capt'n and Coke and BBQ stuff...We dumb drunk stuff and take pictures. I didn't take pictures this time so none for you but you get the idea. We also do stupid guys tuff like rev our motorcycles up bounce 'em off the rev limiters. (Make loud noises and choke on Carbon Dioxide) Someone did a Burnout (making the rear wheel spin while the bike stays still (Lot's of cool white smoke and burning rubber smell) I bet the neighbors LOVE us at this point.

I get to go to Oceanside and pretend like I'm a really good person for the Background investigation for my future job....Oceanside Police Department...Don't speed there...There is no favors for fellow bloggers, sorry I'm just like that.

Back to blog hopping for me...post up peeps.

another post for Tuesday...

2005-07-12T10:28:00.000-07:00

This is an actual headline from today's Dallas Morning News: "If You're Living, You're Not Safe".

Clear and not so present dander..

2005-07-12T08:14:00.000-07:00

...isn't even worth mentioning since it wouldn't be a problem. Would it?

okey dokey...

2005-07-12T07:38:00.000-07:00

So...Glad to see that SOMEONE reads this damn thing

Went to the other Dojo yesterday afternoon. I think I like this one better. They are much more disciplined at this one. I like the more traditional way of teaching.

The one I'm at right now teaches Kempo...more focused on the close quarters combat and very little on the whole experience. This second one is Karate-Do which has more emphasis on character and disipline which is what I think I'm really looking for.

I guess it all depends on where I end up moving to. I walked a LONG way yesterday.

3.9 miles to be exact...all that just to get to the Dojo.

I Have Entered the "No Comment Zone?!"

2005-07-11T10:36:00.000-07:00

So what's with all these people that come on my site and DON'T leave any comments? Am I not special enough? Do I have to post naked girl-ies to get people to leave some F-ing feedback?

Or is my oh-so-boring life so much more boring than yours that you can't take a few extra seconds to even say hi or F-off or ANYTHING....?!

'Sides that, I'm back to work again after my little hiatus festivous. Right now I'm playing gate guard for one of the offices that my division is in charge of. The door is getting painted...so I get to watch him do it. I love that my goverment bosses are paying me to do basically nothing all day in exchange for a 2700 bucks a month. Can't really argue with that one.

I still can't drive my "new to me" car, yet. It's got two years of resgistration and two owner transfers to be paid for. $414 is what it comes out to with all then little fees and charges and extortionary claims by the local DMV. Yikes..that and it don't have a key right now either. But all that should be fixed on Thursday. Painter dude is almost done and I have to go sit at my desk and think of more things to blog at. So ta ta for now.

Hiey-yah!

2005-07-08T14:20:00.001-07:00

I've had the last week or soo off...I combines some vacation time with the fourth of July weekend and ended up with a 10 day weekend for the price of 4! I've purty board so I went walking around the immediate area of my little apartment, which is a mess, which I should clean, which NEEDS to be cleaned cause I'm moving in like 3 weeks...
Anyway.

I have been thinking about starting up some kind of sport or strenuous activity and low and behold I have found one. Karate! (refer to title for comedic refrence)
I did my regular geek thing and went to the library and got books (Yes! Books! They are still in exsistance. Since the advent of the internet people forget they are STILL around.) So I've been reading up on it and have started taking some interductory classes at the near-by dojo (neat traditional name for the place where karate is taugh, learned that in one of those o-so-mysterious books) Karate has become MUCH more expensive than it was when I was a kid. The place near my house wants $165 a month...I'm actually on the computer now to determine if this price is even waranted.

Oh yeah. Went to this little party/bbq/get the cops called on us/drinking fest at a buddies house.

Our resident shutter-bug took these shots.

Clarification, Mission Beach, Perverts...

2005-06-30T08:15:00.000-07:00

For Clarification:

NO hookas were NOT originally made for smoking pot...go back a few hundred years and to a more eastern country like INDIA...there you will find the TRUE meaning of Hooka.

Regarding Mission Beach:

I went there yesterday. Oh, you wanna know MORE than that, ok. Went there yesterda yas part of a photography course that I'm taking and took pictures with this uber cool camera and a paparatsi (<--spelling not a strong suit) lense. I swear this thing could zoom in on anything. We (my partner in crime Lisa , also in photography class took tons of pictures the babes and "hotties" (<--Her words for the hasslehoff looking lifeguards) as well as the obligitory kids playing in the surf shots and the surfers, no good ones, sniff, who were all out there.

Addressing "perverts":

Some old lady actually came up to Lisa and told her to stop being a pervert!! Can chicks actually be considered perverts?! I didn't think so!
I think it had to do with the two foot lens attached to the camera she was taking photos with. Oddly enough no one came up to me while I was taking a picture of...ahem...you know where I'm getting at.

Speaking of old lady's check this one out. We saw this one as she was walking around out there...

..uploaded and fixed...

2005-06-28T08:31:00.000-07:00

Well Jen and I have gone off the crafty end. We went to Michael's last night to get stuff for her scrap book of our Monterey trip and I ended up getting a model airplane to build. Jen is really doing a good job on the scrap book. It's almost worth taking pictures of itself.

I got an F-15 model with a "Level 3" rating. I.E. It's the hardest or most complicated type of model to make. Ton's of little itty bitty parts that require very steady hands. I got a little miltary model paint kit to go along with it so I'll be painting it as I put it together.

I think I'm going to start a photo blog of my progress from this point on. Yep photo blog here I come.

We went to Outback last night. Nothing we ordered was that great. Maybe we are just getting tired of that place. The broccoli cheese soup tasted like candy...the salad was freaking spicy, the meat was dry and the mushrooms I ordered tasted like stale wine....blech. I'm REALLY not a picky eater, I'll eat anything that's not squirming or oozing something most of the time.

We went to this little pizza place down the street from our house on whim the night before last and spent like $10 and got some of the best pizza that I've had in a long time. Even Jen liked it. Guess we'll give up Outback for the pizza place for while.

Sorry, no pictures of the belly dancer. My camera decided it would NOT give them up.

Oh yeah side note on the pizza...We ate about half the pizza that night so we got little individual boxes for us to take 'em to work in. We did that and when I went to get my pizza out of the refridgerator at work....some one had eaten two of my pizza pieces...WTF?! So there is a sign on the fride at work that says.

To the person who STOLE MY PIZZA yesterday
from the box WITH MY NAME ON IT:

MAY YOU NEVER ENJOY ANOTHER PIZZA EVER
AGAIN FOR THE REST OF YOUR NATURAL LIFE!!

I'm such a nice person. The original sign had cute little references to death and pain and suffering and such...

Paintballs, Hooka, Belly Dancers, Temecula, Cleaning...ech...

2005-06-27T07:08:00.000-07:00

So this weekend I did a lot of things...

My weekend started on Friday since I had the day off. I went paintballing with a big groups of guys from work. It was a blast. Got to run around getting bruised all day. Carrying around my "custom" i.e. pieced together paintball "marker", you can't call 'em guns, cause it'll piss off the liberal farts who are scared of fire-arms.
I shot off about 1K rounds that day which is a new low for me. (this is a good thing since paintballs are expensive. So rooting around in the dirt and generally banging myself up cost me a total of 68 bucks on Friday. Oh well I had fun. I pegged quite a few people in the course of the day.

My gun:

On the way home on Friday we took a HUGE detour since there was a big rig crash on the 5 South. So we crossed over riverside and san Diego county and took the 15 home....pain in the butt.

Later on we (Jen and I) joined or friend Brian at the local Hooka Bar. I really like hanging out there. All you gotta do is sit around sucking on a hooka...maybe play some cards or something but generally just sit and chill...

Next comes the Belly Dancer! (Pictues will follow later on today) Every Friday night there is a different Belly dancer at this place..well not always different..they sort of rotate like once a month. Jen now wants to learn to belly dance. Woot to the free shows!!

On Saturday...what the hell happened on Saturday?? Oh yeah. We went BACK up to riverside county to our friends house in Temecula. Temecula is fooking far up there. But I digress. We hitched a ride up with Bob (favorite gimpy dude). The "party" was more like a hang out and eat chill session. Which accurately explains exactly what we did. We watched two Monty Python movies. Um, there was "The Meaning of Life" and "The Search For the Holf Grail"...I So need to get that movie. I always laugh uncontrollably during that movie.

So we do finally leave Temecula and head home at like 12ish. Wow it's Sunday already...so what do I do? Nothing until like 1pm. Jen and I actually (GASP!) clean the house. We go on these slob kicks everyonce in a while. Then we walk into the house and realize that something MUST be done, hence the "cleaning..ech" part of my title. We go get cleaning supplies and Jen gets the photos from the Monterey from the photo peeps. We always take forever to get any of our pictures developed. A whole buch of them came out really good so Jen put 'em in a photo album.

Anywho gotta run. Post up some comments gremlins!

guess what....

2005-06-23T14:40:00.000-07:00

I had to pee again...it starting to get less random IMO.

I finally remembered to bring my Ipod to work yesterday...I was missing my tunes.

I miss my motorcycle already.

Jeeps excelerate REALLY slowly.

It's sunny today.

I'm going paintballing tommorow.

I'm taking a nap when I get home from work...scratch that...I'm just going to go to bed.

I'm gonna have a white russian before I do the previous.

I hate white uniforms.

White uniforms look gay.

At least they do on me.

I like this IM style writing.

I'm done with this entry now.

Just kidding.

Ok now I am.

Really.

Bye.

Carless...

2005-06-23T06:22:00.000-07:00

SO I'm still without any transportation, which sucks BAWLS. I'm still waiting on numb-nut with the mercedes to come up with the key. I haven't been out a vehicle since 2002. Since then Both of my vehicles have crapped out on me. First my Red 1993 Chevy Camaro RS started acting up and then it was just rebelling, then it ran away with another man...sniff......now it's HIS problem .

My second vehicle has already been covered and still a bit of a sensitive subject.

I went to sushi last night. Me and the Girlie always go to the same place in Point Loma. Kyoto Sushi. I LOVE that place. They have the best Miso soup and it's SO cheap there. Couple of my buddies showed up to eat with me. Bob a.k.a. The Gimp, He's walking around with a cast on his foot cause he shattered his foot on a two inch step going into his house. Talk about the breaks...(pun intended) And Ryan a.k.a DirtySouth...cause that's where he's from showed with his girly on his sexy ass 2005 Gixxer 1K....drool....I want one!

I worked out my back yesterday....wow was I sore this morning...wait a second it's still morning..that's what that pain in my back is. Alright maybe I'll pst more later.

DUNT DUNT DUH....

2005-06-22T09:42:00.000-07:00

So...now for some more ramblings from the rambler...

I have recently and temporarily retired the Ducati. I was shoved off the road by this punk ass mother F***** blue honda civic...if I find out who you are I'm hunting you down and cutting important parts of your body off.

I got to have someone watch me go pee today. Exciting sounding no? I'm in the Military and one the many MANY perks is that we get randomly drug tested. So I got to have some walk behinnd me while I sauntered to the Mens room with a little clear plastic bottle over my shoulder. I leave the rest of that little journey to your imagination and I hope that your reading this and drinking lemonade at the same time.

We have finished our last exercise for the next 7 months. no moe exercises till December. So basicly I'm gonna do NOTHING at work for a good solid 3 months. Lot's of time to write in my blog you say? No....I'm more into reading other peoples blogs...other peoples lives are FAR more entertaining than mine at least im my opinion.

I don't like grilled whole onions. This issue came up as my work had a BBQ and the shish-kabobs had on them these mini onions in all they're wholeness. I found many years ago that I truly don't like onions that way.

I've been RE-addicting myself to HALO2 online. It's really fun to be able to play video games with REAL live people. Some of which are half way around the world...makes England seem like it's down the street. I've been tracking my progress online at www.bungie.com it's pretty amazing what techoligy is going now. It'll break down my game scores hit counts kills bulltest shot and acuracy for everygame including a visual representation of when and where I killed someone and the same for when someone kills me. It displays all the game types and what levels you and every other player you played's level as well as the current leader in each game type.

I'm STILL trying to aquire this MEDIUM-GOOD condition 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380 SEL for just under 700 bucks. Apparently for those who I have talked to these cars are bullet proof for 40 plus years, when I say bullet proof I mean they last a long time and stay reletively in good condition. Many owners have 300,000 plus miles on em and still going strong. So needless to say I'm really REALLy hoping this works out.

Turns out I've past all the required intial parts of the application process for entry into the Oceanside Police Department. I'm really looking forward to this new job as I'm getting out of the military soon. My initial goal is to get on SWAT and then become a detective. With my intel background and my just started criminal justice degree I'll be a shoo-in when the time comes.

People Say the DARNDEST things.

What If??

2005-06-21T09:39:00.000-07:00

- What if Christopher Columbus was a woman? She probably would have asked the natives for directions to the East Indies when she figured out she hadn't made it. She would then continue sailing westward from the West Indies and run into Mexico, again asking for directions. This process sailing for a few days and stopping to ask for directions probably would haver resulted in a mutiny from the crew . That is unless they were all women as well. In that case, they probably would have never even made it to the West Indies without splitting up into many different cliques, all refusing to work with the other cliques in achieving a common goal. This would ulitmately lead to the scuttling of their own ships somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.
- What if the Earth really is flat and it just curls up in a ball everytime it thinks somebody is looking at it, kinda like those little roly-poly bugs.
- What if unusual meats don't taste like chicken and it is actually chicken that tastes like unusual meats? Who was it that considered chicken to be the benchmark by which we compare all unusual meats and flavors against?
- What if the laws of mathematics stopped working? Wouldn't it be pretty funny if you woke up this morning, went to Dunkin Donuts for coffee and a donut and the cash register couldn't figure out how to add the two prices together?
- What if clothing was never invented? How cool would that be? Well, actually, it probably wouldn't be that cool because a) you'd have to take the bad with the good, and b) we all wouldn't know the difference, so looking at naked people all day would be completely normal for us, no reason to get excited over it.
- What if I could fly? Actually, I'll tell you what would happen, I wouldn't be in the Navy, I'd be flying planes for Delta making a solid six figures.
- What if suddenly the male and female sex organs were switched? Would there be "Men's Night" at bars then? I'd have to imagine the first couple of weeks, the world population would be obsessed with their newly acquired "equipment" and our society would be plunged into a festival of self gratification.
- What if all food tasted exactly the same? Would there still be fat and skinny people? Would anyone choose a Big Mac over a grilled chicken salad?
- What if there was no internet? Would we really have to call hotels and airlines to make reservations? Would we need to call or visit a movie theater to get the showtimes? Would students actually go to the library to do research?
- What if the food chain was suddenly reversed? Would plants then become the most powerful organisms on Earth? Would humans end up being decorations in some Tree's office at work?
- What if I actually worked hard from the time I set foot in my office building to the time I leave? I would be willing to bet your productivity at work would go up as well since you wouldn't spend an hour each day reading these useless posts and checking for new updates.
- What if I wrote a blog entry about "what if" statements? My guess is it would be kinda dull and boring and that JAL and BFC would write some clever comments adding their own contributions to the ongoing list of important "what if" statements.

Sigh....

2005-06-20T09:31:00.000-07:00

Well I guess my life is going to be a never ending downward spiral of pain and torment . Nothing seems to be getting any better,

I keep thinking to myself would anybody actually realise if I weren't here, what If one time I slipped and cut too deep?

Got to go back to work tomorrow, I'll probably hate it...theres really nothing to do at the moment...and I don't have anything to look forward to when I get home either...

GAWD!

2005-06-12T17:34:00.000-07:00

OK...I tried THREE times to write this long ass blog out but I keep accidentaly hitting the backspace button while not in the editing box so fook it. mabye next time.

My little 620 SS..got uglified...

2005-05-31T09:40:00.000-07:00

So overall my weekend was a good one...up until about 2:30PM Pacific Standard Time yesterday.

I let Jen go on a group ride with the rest of our riding groups and I stayed home Virtually killing 12-16 year olds on my Xbox...(Halo 2 online). She was doing really well according to several people in the group and they were on their way back home from Julian when they decided to take one last detour through Wildcat Canyon Rd. It's a nice twisty technical road. To make a long story a short story Jen crashed on this nice technical road.

She banged up herself and the bike purdy good. Amazingly enough the bike is ridable...I rode it to work this morning...It's quite ugly as are many parts of Jen at the moment.

I got pics this time and am now going to attempt to post them up for ya.

The Link.... (took them pictures out cause it was messin the look of the page....
http://photobucket.com/albums/y265/enigmamdw/

um....yeah....ok

2005-05-13T13:20:00.000-07:00

I gonna have to ask you to come in Saturday....and...why don't you go ahead and come in Sunday too...yeah....

Sorry got Office Space on the head.

I watched Hichhikers Guide to the Galaxy last night. It was pretty good I won't go into the story since you may or may not have seen it.

Anywho...Bike goes into the Bike Shop tommorow morning. Finally I've been neglecting by baby for WAY too long.

Well this is gonna be short since nothing has really happened that I care to type out since yesterday. Oh yeah the pictures of the Sideways bike 'll be available eventually my home computer is OOC at the moment.

Amature Thieves need a special place in hell....

2005-05-11T13:59:00.000-07:00

Well I had a rather unusally good bout of sleeping last night got quite refreshed and rairing to get on with the day.

I did my usuall find all my stuff routine and got my gear on and went out to my bike....my bike that was on it's side, sadly horizontal bike. I blinked a few times praying that it was all a dream and that I was still in bed....nope my poor baby was indeed on it's side.

My prognosis...the bike was moved forward about a foot and a half and was angled to the left which if you know bikes means someone tried to move the bike with the handle bars locked to the left. Looks to me like a rather unaccomplished thief attemped to acquire my bike and was spooked when he was thwarted by the handlebar lock.

Well when I get home today I will bring up the event in light of the several attempts at aqusistion attempted on various vehicles in our complex...
Maybe we can garner the Apartments into getting a security guard out there for the time being.

Well as far as the bike goes....

It's scratches all down the left side and a bent Left handlebar and clutch handle.

Guess it's time for some decals.....sigh....pics to follow when I get a chance to uplaod them...

Registration, Rockets, and FISH

2005-05-09T14:40:00.000-07:00

So recently we (Jen and I) have inherited a LARGE fishtank with LARGE and numourus fish in it from her cousin. He is moving, and possibly staying with us for a week or so in the future, so we have temporraily become the guardians of said fishes. Of course as with any type of animal Jen now want's some of them. Suprize Jen has now added her own fish to the tank. A plucostomus or something, a tiny spotted fish, and two shark looking catfish that I picked out since I wasn't getting anything out of the rest of the fish.

I FINALLY registered and got my little sticker for my bike. She's not sounding really well right now so this weekend she's scheduled for a tune-up (FINALLY as WELL). So by this weekend she will tuned-up, registered, more fully insured, and a new clutch added. All to the tune of about $1200!! But you pay most for your obsessions right?

Finally this weekend Jen and I headed out to the desert once more for the Uber-Rocketscientist-Geek Fest. More commonly know as PLASTER BLASTER. It's a weekend filled with Rockets. Yes ranging from little rockets that fly up about a houndred feet to multi thousand dollar rockets that fly up into the atmosphere and can be guided back to the launch pad with multi chute recover systems, etc. This is a conglomerate of Eaglescouts and A+ students (ok they were 20 years ago) most of whom would be a good candidate of the Posterchild of Geekdom. But I go just to see the failures, call me evilif you will but don't we all sometimes wish that that car will crash during a race or a plane fall from the sky? It's the devil inside of us no?

Well I'm "using company time" for this so I'll wrap it up for now.

Mahala.

I know, I know....

2005-05-02T10:52:00.000-07:00

Ok so I'm not the most consistant person...got so many things to do and just enough time to do 'em.

So lately I've been doing lots of stuff like...tearing my triceps (working out too hard). THAT was really painfull! Wow! OUCH!

So I'm going through this faze now where I'm going to get in shape. I'm eating healthier and being more active. I'm obviously working out now...well not for the next week or so while I let my arm heal, but I am actually getting off my ass a bit and getting something going. I haven't lost any weight yet or anything but I FEEL better eating less junk and doing more stuff that requires more than clicking buttons with my fingers. This is one reason I've not been updating this as often as well. Been rationing my on the computer time as well.

My poor bike has not seen the canyons if a few weeks. It's due for some tuning and parts. I'm taking it easy on her until she goes in for her checkup/new clutch. I missing the canyons so much that I even dream about riding up Telegraph Canyon and Palomar Mt.

There has been a big stink from the locals on Palomar Mt. about us sportbike riders riding up "their" mountain. The story is every year, especially during the summer months, flocks of us riders go flying up the mountain. Some of them going WAY too FAST and endangering themselves and others during their assent of the mountain. This same story happens every year, it will all culminate in a long story on the local news about the "idoits" racing up the mountain. More LEO's (Law Enforcement Officer's) showing up and more tickets issued. Then it will all calm down and they will rince, repeat next year.

Well, I'm applying for the Oceanside Police Department. The very LEO's assigned to Palomar Mt. It'll help I'm sure for someone familiar with the Sportbike community to be watching over the mountain. No this not a joke I really am applying to the O-side PD. They are a great organization with SUPER bene's and decent pay and programs. Been looking into going into Law enforcement for a about a year now and I've finally decided to take the plunge and become "the law".

Dishonest Cops, Eggs, and Blow up Chairs

2005-04-03T16:10:00.000-07:00

I'm out Saturday on a motorcycle ride as I can customarily be seen and heard doing. Carving up the curvy roads south of Chula Vista. For once we had decided that the speed limit would e adheared to rather strictly going up a long straight portion of the road. (rumors of a speed trap at the top of the said straight portion were in circulation) At the top of hill we passed an all white CHP cruiser. He was headed in the opposite direction nose deep in the back of a large trailer.

We take note and continue our resolution to maintain a most legal speed of travel. Perhaps a full 2 minutes elapes and all resolution of speed limit adhearance has been lost and throttle is trwisted all the way back, we fly up the mountain.

We maintain this rate of speed until we arrive at our favotie haunt at the top of the mountain. A cafe know for it's attraction to motorcyclist thoughout the weekend. We park our motorcycles in the back as is our cutomary habit.

We order breakfast. We (The 'we' I am refering to is the two other riders that have accompanied me on my constitutional up the mountain. This is to include Rob and Doc for further reference.)
have almost finshed our meals and are about to depart when a rather irate CHP officer storm into the quaint Cafe yelling and demanding our Licences...also requiring our Military ID's. It so happens that all of us are currently serving our country in this way.

He continues to lecture us on "going too fast" with claims of us reaching speed in excess of 100mph! We look on incredulously as he proceeds to write us our citations based on his fictitional and fanciful claims of super high rates of speed. Declairing 'I've got you on RADAR going over a hundred" We silently laugh amidst ourself as this officer threatins us with inprisonment and charges of evading pursuit. None of which we ALL knew were true. We let him finish digging his legal hole and we quitely resume eating our food (which was kindly kept warm by the beautiful owner of the establishment.)

After we finish eating our breakfast we quitely made our way down the mountain. All desire to continue our usual run up to north county having been squashed by such a horrible display of complete disregard for the rules and regulations that an officer is bound to follow. On our way back down the mountain we see our wiley and stupid cop pulling over yet another hapless vitim making his way out to the mountain.

Jennifer (My Girlfriend) was attending the 1st birthday of her godchild. It was WAY out in ramona and thus I was required to attend the festivities. I was glad to peel out of all my protective gear thatI have been wearing since 830am. I arrived just as the BBQ was done cooking. Had myself a steak and lounged in the available seating. Big round, purple blow-up furniture. Despite how hidieous they were they were extreemly comfortable and I took a quick nap to sounds of several children all trying harder to be louder than each other. Reminded me of being home. 5 children alone can make alot of noise.

So I awoke from my nap with the realization that I still had to ride my motorcycle back down ANOTHER mountain and back into San Diego. I finall arrive back at home hapily reminding myself that tommorow was Sunday and I could sleep in.

How to Skin a Weasle

2005-04-01T08:24:00.000-08:00

I don't plan on skinning one. Nor do I know by what process one whould accomplish this. However I needed a catchy title and that one for some reason came to mind.

I have decided that I'm going to lead on all those Scammers posing as African Bankers with millions of dollars they "want to give me". I recieve 1-2 of these a week. I figure if I keep 'em occupied answering all my dumb questions and replying to my emails that I can keep him from scamming a few less people.

Friday is FINALLY here. Which means that I'm going to go riding this weekend. Finally.

Butterflies are ATTACKING San Diego in force today. They are migrating from Mexico...going somewhere. I didn't watch the news special last night so I'm in the dark.

Have a nice weekend.

Welcome and Other Salutations...

2005-03-31T17:11:00.000-08:00

This the inagural post for my blog and I'll be updating it SOON..check back in like 2 hours...
