  • Sunday we had a party after the show for employees and friends. i was told i could invite people but since i would have to work at the party i decided it was best not too. "hey wanna come to my work and hten wait an hour after the pary for me to finish cleaning up everything to get home at 1 and do nothing? didn't think so". I think i've made a couple friends there well at least some of hte wait staff that talk to me alot learned my name. Theres this one really tall guy named Derik that pretty cool, kinda reminds me of little john from robin hood except very skinny. Then theres this one girl named sarah who realy nice, she's been having some trouble spilling and breaking things but as soon as something hits the ground im already tehre cleanign it up or picking up the broken pieces. I always tell her its fine and not to worry especially since ive definately screwed up far worse before a couple times. I still dont know the asian girls name but she smiles and talks to me sometimes. I know a couple of hte cooks names, darnel cause everyone is always bitchign about him not being at work, then theres edwin who is the youngest looking half spanish half black kid, mikey who is this huge black kid we have working the ovens, the other mikey who we have do what ever we need, and i dont know the last guys name but i think its also edwin. One big thing tho is that im not sure if they quit, were sent home the other night cause of the 8 hour rule or if they went home early cause of school, but if they dont return to work the next time well probly have some problems. I do know we need more chefs and cooks. Right now the chefs are my bosses Serafine ( I have no *bleeping* clue how to spell his name), Koki , and Me. I feel kinda odd being the only one in there 20's and asian, all the other kitchen staff are either very old spanish people like my bosses and the dishwashers, or young teenage black kids. OHHHHHH yeah!!!!! theres a extremely old white chef thats been helping us out from mertle beach. But yeah theres like only 3 people I definately know of that are asian, me, the one waitress, and dome old guy whom i just see every once in a while walking arround. I've wanted to get tot he gift shop and buy some polo shirts for work but when im at work im working and when im not at work I have to do everthing else. I still havent seen the actual show but by the huge amount of cheering in the audience it sounds good. On a sad note my new shiny red sienna's back window was smashed in when my sister borrowed it the other day. >< poor car, less than a month old too. My car has also been having problems keepign a charge over 3 days. I've completely cleand and changed the batery terminals and sunday night i came home the bater was dead again. Im going to try to add a second battery inside to relieve stress from the main one. Sadly I know yumi's days of racing and running are closing fast and she will have to retire. I still want to buy old cars tho even though i know i should buy a new one. Its just somethign about an old car that apeals to me. I dont know if its the feeling of nostalgia, the fact modern saftey and emission laws dont apply tp them or knowing the amout of work and time I will spend on them that get to me but I like it. Today is tuesday cause its 4 am and it will be my last tuesday for a while working at the castle, I was about to take the day off since school starts wednesday but this is the only day sarah works this week and i want to be there for her when she spills somehting so I can see a smile on her face instead of tears. Its very uncomfortabel when girls cry alli can do is stand there and unless they request for me to kill someone theres not much else a robot can do. Thats why its best to prevent it from happening in the first place.  If anyone you know wasnt to work as a cook or a chef in the kitchen please stop buy the castle some time before 4 oclock or any time on mondays. Sometiems its hard work but the benifits are great, 50% off anything int he gift shop that has a company logo, free food in abundant amounts, free drinks, and when theres parties free alchaholic drinks and smoothies/slushie things. It's alot of fun working in a castle, and its very different from anuything ive ever done before. I'm use to lots of different specif meals for people and now im cooking no more than 3 different things for a group of 1000+ people. Actually im incharge of the soup station and vegitarian food, I make vegitarain lazana plates consisting of vegitarian lazanga made with an alfredo sauce, spiance, rocoto cheese  (i love meat but its really *bleeping* good), corn on the cob, and whole grain rice with sliced pepers , carrots, and snowpeas. The soup is a minastrone soup with little ring o noodles, a chicken tomato flavored borth, and sliced vegies and seasonings. I also make vegan platers for people who dont eat any animal products at all, thaose consist of red, yellow, and orange sliced pepers, grapes, and orange, strawberrys, and carrots piled high. Theres one reallycool thing, since everythign behind the scenes is all hightec and int he milti million dollars area, we have finger print check ins for employess instead of time cards. the other day i sliced oepn my left index finger while opeing boxes and then asked one of hte managers, "what happens if i accidentaly cut or burn my right hand, how would i check in?" Well I thoguht it was funny ^^;  oh well i gottta go to work in 5 hours wo i shoudl stop. see you all next time. Oh if you evre need to find me in the castle im in the kitchen, Im the chef thats int he black chef clothes. dont wory i also have a red shirt underneath.

  • The other day at work was very interesting, we did a mock runthrough which means we got paid to pretend to work. Me and the rest of the cookign staff pretended to cook food and set it up for hte waiting staff who pretended to serve imaginary patrons while the actors did there whole bit ikn tshirts and jeans. One really thing that was funny is that one of they guys int he kitchen asked "why cant we have a stero in dis joint?" And i replyed "Because the only way we can tell what ime it is, is by the music they are playing durring the show." Then the kitchen staff was very quiet staring at me for a while before one of them said "You can speak english!" hehehe

  • Tapped Dry


    Yesterday was more blood test, or "attempted blood tests" It would seem that the veins in my left arm are non responsive and do not contain blood resulting in alot of confusion and multiple instances of needles penitrating slowly in and out of one point while twisting and turning trying desperately to retieve a meer sample of blood. So again they try the RIGHT arm and get it on the first try. -_- stupid doctors.




    Anyways as you can see I've been making my self pretty buys working on the cars, I re installed the dual 15s In yumi as well as the underbody neon. Added power folding mirrors wiht a switch and am finishing patching up the fiberglass panels to prep for painting finally. The colorra has a slightly new look and our new vehile is being worked on as we speak. I also fixed Mike's antenna, and rear wiper system the other day. Tho there is still one car that I am dying to work on and I will have it soon >=)

    Also I've been dominating videogame circuts again, in real life and the virtual world. Life is pretty swell, still not stellar by far but managable. This weekend is Otakon so I hope the kitchen isnt finished being built yet or i wil have to work, right now this is what work looks like. 
     
    Yes its a hole int he wall but wait theres more!

    Its behind High Voltage Generators and Dumpsters! The fun never stops at Midevil Times! hehehe.


    And now for something completely different.

    On the way to Atlantic City we stopped at exxon where in the bathrooms they sell Homies series 7 for all your sexual needs. Condom? Cock Ring? Politically incorrect plastic figurine? Your choice only 1 Dollar.


    And with that This is you Red Ranger signing off.

  • I'm not dead just not "here" I've been "there"


            Well the past weeks have been dr's apointments and blood tests, lots and lots and lots of blood tests where the needls never find the veins till after several minutes of sliding in and out of your flesh till thill you just gushing out blood anyway. Excpt for today when they actually hit the jackpot ont he first shot. anyways I'm not expiring any time soon. My dad also had to get surgery last week and has been vegging out on the couch since then. The dr was nice enuff to write a letter saying that he doent have to go to work till he feels like it or after his 2 week folow up so hes been cashing in on his sick days. He had a stone in his gulbadder, whats a gullblader you ask? Well this this organ thing being the liver and it resembles the genitals of a small rodent excpt its kinda big. and the stone as you can see was at the buldge of hte gull bladder, Its about the size of an egg and looks like an avacado.


      In case you were wondering  I hate hospitals, the foul stinch of death and desease compiles with rotiting flesh and chemicals lit under highly artifical light was never apealing to me.


    Lately, well since 2 days ago I've been beta testing the game "there" Its awsome, a game that is basically designed by the internet comunity that uses it. You buy objects like in real life and use them in aplications. you can builg a race track for cars, hover bikes, hover packs, or hover boards as well as paint ball arenas. or you can teleport to the top of a huge mountain and hoverboard down ssx style. you can make your own things and sell them or you can buy there bucks through your credit card. The game it self is free!!! it take up 40 gigs of space on your hd tho and you need a higher end pc to really enjoy it or youll notice alot of lag. You can also lend, borrow, or "aquire" other peoples items but unless they actually "give" it to you they can retrieve it when they feel like. So you can spend as much as you want or spend nothing and still enjoy the game. lots of events let you use equipment for free as well. So ytou guys shoudl play if you can, they will tell you if you need to upgrade anythign on your comptuer to play, I just had to update my ati drivers. But yeah "There " is awsome, In a nutshell its sims on crack cell shaded with guns and vehicles that can fly.


    Lets see, Oh yeah I submitte my desing for the fasa t-shirt under the request of Gracie and Mo. Does it look familiar? hehehe.



    Thats it for now, I'll see ya in "There"!

  • My Vegas Vacation



    To get to vegas I took this lovely water logged jet plane, see my tickets that say no meals for both of the fights. It was goign to be long but I brought headphones to plug into the seats which didnt work cause they didn't play any music for both flights.



    When I arrived in vegas I had a whole hour before my dad woudl arrive so I decided to play on a slot machine and i wont a  nifty collector token worth 10 dollars but it was really shiny and encased in glass so i kept it instead of cashign it in. As ou can see things grow big arround Vegas, Behind the giant scorpion are 3 seats.



    When my uncles and aunts finally arrived they called home to tell people they arrived safely. As ou can see my uncles niffty state of the art cellphone fromt he 80's next to mine.



    We also went to the grand canyon. Look at all the rocks and the huge ass 15+ mile crack!



    I took this picture for Kev. Did you know mcdonalds rents out dodge vipers in vegas? Its actualy comes with a happy meal.



    There were also lots of fountans and lights everywhere. I didnt get to do nearly as much stuff as I wanted to Because we only rented a car for 2 days. I figured it woudl be fine to just walk everywhere since you can easly see where your going and hte signs for each hotel. Like the cesars palice sign, gee thats not that far. The signs are 50ft tall tho so they really are pretty far away but its good excercise. Realy really friggin hot tho. I got to Go to Gameworks and there were these 2 cute girls playing police trainer. I don't know what it I, but I always had a thing for girls that are good at shooting things, especially if there asian with colored or hilighted hair and like cars and play videogames What was I talkging about.... Oh yeah I eventually asked one of the girls if it woudl be okay If I joined them in competition mode. And the girl said witha nice happy smile "sure". So for a couple of hours I had a very good time and after beating them repeatedly I had to go well that and we were out of credits... So iIsaid good by and headed back to one of the hotels to watch the free show I won tickets to. I guess I probly should have asked them their names but since it was my last night in vegas it woudlnt have really made much of a difference.  


     


    After 4 days it comes to an end and I decide to play one last game. I spent 20 dollars and won all of it back exactly. So I decided that was a good time to quit. After 4 days I made 500 dollars plus 2 free 45 dollar show tickets, a free mug, a free deck of cards, a free plastick tiki cup, and lots of cupons, and comps.



    As you can see the hotels are "close" to the airport or at least thats what my aunt said but in reality those hotels are surrounded by lots of residential areas and the desert all of which cant be seen from the airport so there really friggin huge hotels.


    "Are we dead or is this ohio?"



    I had one transfer on the way home in Cleavland. Ahh Cleaveland so close to where I was born yet so far away. As you can see cleaveland is a very friendlt place. The airport had heroin needle disposal boxes and throughout the airport there are emergency defibulators so you can give yourself a quick jolt if you go into cardiac arrest. Now isn't that spiffy!


    And now I am home working on Yumi and the other cars. One of Yumi's neon under tubes broke so I decided to try somethign new and i used a led roplight to replace it. Though the ropelight had to be folded 3 times to fit it gives off a nice even red illumination and is safe for exterior use. After doing that I thought why not try to use the other colors for the tother cars so i bought blue and green rople but when I lit them they werent as vibrant as the red light. Ill try the thin El wire next but ill probly need to fold it over alot to get an illuminaiton that is close to that of regular neon tubes. The thing i really like about the led rope is that it can NEVER crack and lasts a long time. I'm still thinking about cutting out shapes  on the car, installing plexiglass windows and then back lighting them, that would look hot but large designes will greatly weaken the cars structure.  Just killing time till work starts.

  • I will be on temporary leave of absence cause I'll be in Las Vegas till the 6th. But don't fret for there are still many of us left working hard to pretect the world form evil. Though with the just a handfull of rangers, riders and metal heros lingering around, now woudl be the most opertune time for an evil demonic alien space force to attack in which case it woudl be best to notify my comlink, but since it only has a 5 mile range you woudl probly have a better bet calling my cell. Take care everybody.

  • My Sassy Girl


         I Just finished wathing this movie. Despite Niki saying I proably woudlnt like it, I didnt know what she men't exactly till I watched it. It was a very good moving movie that got very depressiong and ended very retardly but I enjoyed it alot. But it borught back alot of good and bad memories from life that at times felt all to real and close to home. Definately s sign of good writing and acting. The extreme lenghs guys go through just to make there someone speical feel special and watch you meticously layed out plans backfire in a huge chain reaction. Or when you both decide to spontaionsly suprise each other and end up completly missing each other ending up with you waiting in the rain for several hours for her sat class to end only for her to run to her car in a panic from the rain and not notice you parked beside her as she speed off hom to call you..... Er that wasnt the movie.... Anyways yeah memories and shiznits. I was about to say what hapens in the end but that would just mess it up for any of you that wanted to watch.


    Roud Two Flashback to Yesterday


          So me and kevin come to help shannon change her tire fumbling arround with her primitve toolsstrugling just to loosen a bolt. After Shannon denied me of acces to my hyrdolic lift and electric tork wrench she askes her fathre to help us. Isnt she lucky to have her boyfriend a robot and a father here to changer her tire in the firgin dead of night at her house where her tire bacme flat suspiciously. Anyways After a couple flexes of his muscles, shannons dad lifts the back end of shannons car with his bare left hand, then unscrews each bolt with his bare right hand effortlessly tossing the flat tire aside and switching it with the doughnut.

  • Yesterday was pretty good. I recieved my new Sony U20 digital camera in the mail and I ate sushi at Niko. The waitress was real nice, she gave us free miso soup and then later I ordered some toro and she gave me 2 of the largest pieces of toro ever. I've been to niko several times but that was the first time that happend. It was funny the toro was slicedreally thick and was more than double the length of the rice and one piece woudl have been the equivalant to 2 and a half pieces at Fuji's or Sakura's. The pieces were even bigger than the tory i usually get at Sushi Sono. Good times ^_^.
