Enter the Scooter

Yea I know its been almost a week since I last put something in here but so what, it's mine, I can do what I want :) Well this weekend was interesting to say the least. I decided that I needed a new way to get to work for the summer because walking 20min at 7:30am every morning was just not going to work out for me. So me and my mom decided to buy an electric scooter. Now this all seemed like a great idea until we actually bought it and I tried to ride it. It took about 3 seconds to hit the accelerator and fly off, messing up my wrist pretty good. So after trying again a few times I gave up for a few hours. After dinner we took it out to the track at the jr. high and tried it out there. After hours of falling over and over and over and over, and getting extreamly fustraited to the point of tears, I stopped for the night. Let me tell you something people, I am someone who has always worked his entire life to be like everyone else and have always been able to overcome anything I've tried to do, so failing mis erably is something I take EXTREAMLY hard. I just shut my self in my room and didn't want to come out for anything. Of course my mom had to come in and try to "comfort me" when all I wanted is to just be left alone. So what happened, ya bad times happened. For a recap, examine some of the phrases that came up more than once: "Its not fair" "I should have been driving 4 years ago""If dad was still here none of this would be happenin g" The last statement I probably shouldn't have said because damn, that just opened the door to a whole new argument. Anyways, so the next day my mom's boy friend decided to follow up a suggestion I had to put training wheels on it. He took a large slap of metal, bolted it underneith the large metal top of the scooter and attached small wheels to it. It works ok for the most part. I would have prefered the wheels to be permanent and more stable. like just making it have 4 wheels, not just two wheels and two "training wheels." I may go up to home depot and buy new ones later on this week to fix that. I dont care about learning how to ride this the correct way and have no intention of ever taking those off. Its mine, I payed for it, I'm using it, I get to modify it how I want to. Not to mention for sucking my bank account dry this month, I better damn well be able to ride that with out killing my self like I did this weekend, so bigger wheels are coming soon I promise. Ok I'm done.

PS. No audio this time on purpose.

City of Heroes Update

Well time I talked about what's going on in City of Heroes. A few days ago me and one of the original members of PEF, Paragon Elite Force, my super group, and I were talking about how kind of unhappy we were with the group, so instead of trying to change the group, we just made our own with new alts. We haven't pulled our toons off of PEF because we still have friends that we like on there and we just have to much dedication to stick with them to just abandon them all together. But we have made our own group and its called The Front Line. Our motto is, "because they send the best in first." So far its going well, except for this one kid on there who is just really pissing us off. He always begs to be power leveled and is very ungrateful even when we do help him out. So me and the other leaders are probably gonna kick him out soon. Only 4 days into existence, only 9 members, and we are already gonna kick someone out. Maybe that's good though, I mean we wont put up with shit that PEF would. PEF would just ignore them and never do anything about it. Well not in this group. This will be a good group if it kills me. I built them a web page too which is what I've been up to for the last couple of days. Its nothing major, something pretty simple to do I guess. I definitely didn't think about it as much as I did this site. I used the same buttons, just changed the colors. It is kinda fun to update the roster page with new pictures and such and watch the group grow. Today was really stressful for some reason, Im not sure why. Maybe it was because I hadn't been out of the house in like 2 days, so I went to Kharma tonight and got a cup of coffee. I felt better afterwards. I talked to my mom today and she said she doesn't like reading this journal. I guess she's uncomfortable reading my personal thoughts. But I mean I would never put anything on here that I don't mind everyone else knowing. Anyway, that's it for now.

It is Finished!!!

It's FINALLY finished! I've spent the last few days working on completely remaking my portion of this web side. First I started with the buttons, made them into rollovers which I had no idea how to do until Travis told me, then I worked on the front page. It probably took 5 hours on one day, and about 2 more hours of the next day to finish that first page. For some odd reason, IE and Firefox don't read HTML the same way so when I would view my page, it would look normal in IE but really messed up in Firefox. So thats what took an extra 2 hours the next day. Also on day two, I updated this page with the new style and layout. It didn't take to long because most of it was just copy and paste from the front page but making the calanders was particularly fun to do since I had been struggling with how to do them in the other layout. I really like how they are just tucked away nicely right below the buttons now. Today my task has been to update the photo page with 1) the new layout and 2) alot more photos on there since I actually have some. After I got all of that done I wanted to figure out how to make text pop up when you hold your mouse over the picture. That took a little bit of online searching to do, but I did figure it out and I really like it. It adds a nice little flavor to it when you can see comments on the picture. Also, instead of just sizing down a 1.5meg picture for the thumbnail on the main photo page, I actually made smaller versions of the picture and just linked them to the large versions. This should cut down on loading times for anyone who is using still using dial up *cough* Joseph *cough*

Cock-blocked

Another month is gone and a new one begins. That much closer to the return of school and the return of some friends of mine. I was in Kharma this morning and to my surprise there were actualy a few good looking girls in there today. Unfortunitly, two of them were sitting together and the third was sititng with a guy already. I grabed my cup of coffee and sat against the wall so I could keep an eye on the two girls sitting together at one of the booths. Now, its always been a rule of mine to never approach two girls at once, I dont know why, but when girls are together they wont open up because they are trying to show off to their friend. Either one, they will try to out flirt the other if you are cute enough, two they will be afraid to flirt because the other wont think you are cute, or three, they will both be afraid to flirt because their best friend is there and therefore, not talk to you at all. So as i was sitting there just doing my eye candy thing a "smooth" looking black guy comes in and sits strait down with them. I mean he made a bullseye right towards them as soon as he came in. "High my names blablabla, nice to meet yall." I was like wow, that takes balls, but hey he was black, he can get away with it....Thats r ight, I went there. Maybe Im loosing my nerve to go talk to girls, I dont know, but I still like my rule of not meeting girls in groups. Ive made some recent addiitions to my web page. Audio logs and new buttons are some of the things that have gone up. Now Im gonna work on the title and try to format it a little better. Oh ya, I removed the warning from the top of this page, not because it all still doesn't apply, but I need the space for more calanders. Well, see ya next time.
