    Bro also send another letter in the mail that arrived today. He sent me money from iraq for my birthday, which im sure is worthless now cause it has that one guy with the mustach on the front of it, but its the thought that counts. I feel bad cause thats the second letter so far and i still haven't written him back. He had good news tho, theres rumors they have replacements being trained right now and he could be sent home as soon as 180 days. Not in time for otakon but much better than December. I guess thats it for now, hope everyone thats on their break is enjoying it.

  • Ever since I got weekends back I've been trying to find things to fill that empty void that i use to spend cooking all day. Here are a couple of recaps through visual aid.


    First day after getting fired I built a 8 foot heart out of wire baloons a 2x4, 2 chairs string and duct tape for club cupid.



    That sunday I went to the motor trend auto show,


     05 mustang


     05 350z convertiable with my sister and keith


    someone was going arround dismanteling and stealing parts from the tiburons, hyundais and saturn redlines.

     The xrunner was aswome, It also won best truck of the show.


    and now STis for Mike

    1 of 6 2006 mitsubishi eclipses in the world


    sis sitting in her dream car..........


     the dodge magnum.



     


    orange t-rex


     the firebird concepts 1-3


    This car was extremely hard to photograph, the blck paint has a blue peart tricoat that just looks sick. this car and the viper  are for sale too... and yeah the viper is the "cheap" car.



    Along came Katsucon the week that followed.


    Finished all 5 dekaranger uniforms, Since Jordan was deported Ina drafted Jorge to wear the Deka Green Suit.


    Ina as Jasmine aka: Deka Yellow with Ronald McDonald and Posing with Mini Jasmine


     All 5 of us in the secret underground Wachovia Bank Head Quarters... Ina as Jasmine Deka Yellow, Jorge as Sen Deka Green, Me as Ban Deka Red, Keith as Houji Deka Blue and Sis and Umeko Deka Pink holding Muffy a robot dog.... Unfortunately this is one of very few group shots of all of us together. Mostly it was shots of either Red Blue and Pink, Red and Yellow, Blue and Pink, or Red Yellow and Green and alot of picks of yellow alone were taken. lots of people thought we were different groups and that ther was another guy wearing the red uniform that look EXACTLY like me but with other people in diferent colors. I did find one pic of me and ina on sentai livejournal. All in all it was a fun weekend. then the following week was the d6 mixer....


    and on that note, heres alex from friday.


     yeah we had fun at the d6 mixer.

  • Today wasn't bad at all. Learned alot and got to spend some bonding time with the lounge crew. Played the evil role and got everyones studying off track all day from lunch, (yes actual solid foods) to pool, then dvds and poker.


    I spent some time sorting out the pictures in my camera and freed up a bunch of space. also picked out a few photos from the motor trend auto show which i'll post later.


    all the efforst of my past few days met good results with those that mattered. and I can fully rest in piece if i did sleep.


    But as a resolve to all the thing that have happend in the short mas of time, I will spend my new found freedom and new gift of time to find and enjoy the things that matter most in my life, and find the missing happiness that I've longed for all along. For at least it is those litting things in life that can change time. the first rocktowards moving a mountain, or that final straw. and somewhere inthe debris is that silver lining.

  •  Panda came in the mail today and reminded me, Health insurance was from work too.

  • Last week Mengmeng said that The rooster always has bad luck on the yrar of the rooster. 2005 is the Year of the rooster.. All I can say is the $#%@s really hit the fan....


    Issue # 1, Transportaion. Several Pending alagations and bs violations that occured in 2002-2003, over 2 years ago, have been filed and misplaced and refiled and finalized with the DMV. The resut was a hearring on febuary 2nd. The DMV asked for a review of my record since 1997 with the claim of unsafe/unfit and wanted to revoke my licence for 6 months. after a 6 month period I would have to re submit papers and wait 30 more days before being allowed to take the driving test and get my licence back.


    The actual hearing was a one on one sit down wiht a judge who rulled that I was not unfit/unsafe and my record did not suport the cailms of the dmv, However he asiso said it wasnt the best record in the world. and he will file that he is suspending my licence for TWO years. but he then said he will cut me a break on that and reduce the sentence to 45 days. after 45 day I can go back to the dmv and they will issue me a new licence. Since my suspension tho I've actually driven every day.


    Issue # 2, Finances. Since the day they broke ground up until 4:32pm febuary 5th 2005, I have litterelly worked my fingers to the bone for medieval times. Saving there @$$es 1000x over and making there incrediably unrealistic delusions a reality. I've lost friends, chances at relatioships, countless oppertunities, and every single weeked end for the better end of about 2 years.


    For all my sacrafices and hard work I get one explination. "corporate downsizing" "The owners of the company feel that your position is nolonger required. Please take the time to remove your belongings from your locker before leaving tonight. Good bye".... with all the physical and emotional scars I recieved from the job its just not that easy.


    Issue # 3, Health. Inside I feel like sars is having a party witht the T-virus. Though Im not a zombie yet there are some points where I feel just fine and some where I physically can't opperate a vehicle which is the main reason for me not driving normally as opposed to the whole suspension $1000 dollar fine 2 years in jail no licence thing.


    I guess now that I have my weekends back its going to be weird.... Very very very weird getting use to. For finances I'm going to try to go back to selling on ebay if I have to. And I still have at least 2 checks that will be sent from work. I'll just focus more on scool now and be more active with FASA again.


    I will never give up.


    -red out

January 22, 2005

  • I got ready for work, shoveled the drive way  and set off for work, as soon as i passed the mail box I slid back down the hill back in into the driveway and thought "I shoulda bought a STI" and then i walked to blockbuster and checkers instead of going to work. I did try calling my boss to tell him that I can't make it even thouhg I knew he woudlnt be able to understand enough english for a conversation but i think he would have understanded "Snow Bad" and "Work No". But He forgot to pay his phone bill so his phone is temporarrly out of service. I ended up just leaving a message at the castle saying I cant come in. Almost everything was closed today excpt for blockbuster, checkers, giant, and home depot. Things ahve been gettign interesting lately but for now I'll just have to keep going at least for a little longer.

  •  some times i wish this was true...


     


    Finals crunch time. Some people deal with stress by breaking down or lashing out. Me, im a little more simple than that... Nice meals and calming atmospheres are always welcome.


    Abe Emi Sushi at Sono then back to work but wait an emergency call comes by. Keith's stereo needs to be installed, and then a photoshoot. finish arroudn 12:30am then start up animation projects.


     arround 9am i am driving searching for ammo for angermanagement happiness since my strayer voits arrived earlier in the week but i had run out of fuel for them but fail.  at 12:45am kevin calls and says he needs help and also wondered if we could grab lunch but he also has a doctors apointment at 2:15 and unfortunately driving from EC to where he is and tthen back for suhi buffet would be impossible with his 2:15 meeting. So instead i just pick him up and drive him to his appointment, and while waiting for him i stop by Sutton Place gormet and find an awsome suprise of what they call a Sashimi Roll. Large thickly cut sashimi wrapped in a thin rice paper wrapper. Soo yummy. But yes kevin told me not to fret about my failed attempt for ammo and that good things come to those who wait.


     Later int he day we make it back to the house and a package int he mail containing all the supplies i had been driving arround looking for appear. Unfortunately I found out that the strayervoits actualy shot through the automated resetting targets instead of knocking them down. So later I had to get metal targets. But for further notification 390fps + plastic = Holes.


    After workign on my final projects my desktop icons spanned all the way to another monitor.... BUT ITS ALL OVER AND TIME FOR XMAS!!!!


    A happy suprise, Bro was able to take 4 days off training for leave so i was able to give him a present.


     On christmas day since the rest of the family was supose to be in ohio we ate dinner and afterwards angie had a bag of funnel cake mix she wanted to try out. We use the whole bag thignking ti was only enough for 3 of us but it turns out the funel cakes expand in the oil and we ended up making 9 cakes but eating only 2.


     


    I didnt really get anything for xmas durring xmas but i did order something special for me. ems shipping from japan and then today it arrived. I was very happy to get the box already and the seller did the extra special chore of wrapping it up in christmas paper and adding a little wire weaved bow. But inside is the best part!


     


     THE FIRST AND ONLY SONY PSP IN MARYLAND. This will make multiplayer a little bit difficult. BUT THIS THING @$#%$#ING RULES!!!!!!! The graphics arent Playstaion one comparriable, They are just as good as A PLAYSTATION TWO!!!! Also they use any sony memory stick duo of any size or brand to store games, Video and Audio. So with a 4gig MSD you can basicaly have a Video Sony Ipod. This definately makes up for all those day locked away working in the kitchen at the castle.
