Slip and Fall.....A New Start

SO i have always found that Betrayal was one of the worst thing you could do to someone. I have done my fair share of terrible things but betrayal was always the worst. I have recently been betrayed and once again i am reminded how much i hate the feeling. Theda has failed to pay rent and skipped out while i was out buying a new car. We had to pay the other half of the rent (625.00 + 25.00). Its all good however for revenge is a dish best served through collections. Dalina and i have given our 30days through a letter of explanation. It states that Dalina and I are leaving...but not with Theda. She would have to give her own notice. That means that the apartment will still be rented but instead of being rented to all of us it will be just hers and she wont even know it till collections calls her about the 1550,00 dollar late payment. PLUS!!! i am going to sue her ass for the 650,00 she owes me this month. All and all this has left me in a bad place but i dont think its anything i cant handle. In other news i got a new car!!! I got a mazda 3 from John Hine. More on the new car later however. Bed time for me.

Car Vs. TV

2008-12-29T09:53:20Z

So Dalina walks in a bit ago and i guess her car like had a VERY hard time making it here. It kept turning off while she was driving and so in a nutshell its time to either fix the fucking thing or get something new. All my hope is in Jeremy at this moment because hes my car guy. Jeremy is a friend of mine who started at Southwest about a year and a half after i did. We were always nice to each other however early this year we really hit it off and started working together more and a friendship was born (despite the fact that he is a bronco's fan). It came to my attention about 2 months ago that he was a car guy so i asked him about Dalina's car which has been having some trouble. Being as i knew nothing about cars i assumed it was a transmission issue. The Kitty van which hailed from El paco's place in Oregon had a lot of miles but it had recently been serviced and was working great. However after leaving the car in the hands of my wife and having the age of the car finally catch up to it the car just took a dump. At first it was small stuff like the tires needed to be replaced then it started vibrating and having a super hard time starting. It always seemed to work through this stuff however got Dalina from point A to point B. We put over 2 grand in the car over the several years we have had it and it has gone through more then its fair share of fender benders and mild crashes. At one point we had to unbend the front of the car so that we could close the hood after Dalina hit a poll or something like that. Now the car is turning off randomly. Jeremy has theory that it has something to do with the gas reaching the engine or and oil leak. He asked me to get a manual and he would take a look at it for me. Well i kinda pushed it off being as i couldn't find a 93 Mercury Villager manual at any of the local auto shops. Well tonight forced me to grab the manual off of Amazon.com. Dalina and i had long talk in the kitchen and she was saying perhaps its just time to get a new car. Now in respect....it is. However i had my heart set on a new TV this week and that is now looking like a distant dream. I have collected over 900 bucks and i was gonna throw a few hundred more into it in an attempt to get myself a nice flat-panel and have it mounted on the wall. Now i am gonna have to throw that 900 into either a down payment or throw it into my Capital one card and pay it off in one stroke. Anyway you look at it the TV isnt going to happen at this point. The next question is....Why even attempt to fix the kitty van? Well if my friend Jeremy can atleast give me an idea of whats wrong with it or hell if he can fix it then i can sell the car and attempt to make something out of this whole thing. Still sad about the TV...Dalina doesnt get why i would be depressed about that but then again i don't really expect her to. Its not a big deal cause i am a man and i will get over it as i have gotten over all the other disappointments in my life.

sick but could be worse

2008-10-24T09:38:55Z

Ok so like the title says im sick and have been for a few days. I came down with this "cold" on Tuesday night and by wed morning it was in full swing. I spent almost all wed watching the show 24 (season 1) and so because i pretty much just sat around took a bit for the running nose and then just ate when required and had lots of liquids i started feeling better by Thursday morning. I pretty much did the same thing over again. I watched 24 all day and i am about 6 eps from finishing season 1. Good news is i am caught up on all my shows and i feel much better now that i am about to go to bed. Just praying that tomorrow i will wake up without this damn running nose.

So i am all caught up on:

1. Heroes:
2. The Unit

Working my way thru:

1. 24 season 1

you are aqua
#00FFFF

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well.

Your saturation level is very high - you are all about getting things done. The world may think you work too hard but you have a lot to show for it, and it keeps you going. You shouldn't be afraid to lead people, because if you're doing it, it'll be done right.

Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

OMG i go so fucking drunk last night it wasn't even funny. Dalina had to come get me and i left my car at leightons house. I just slept for an extra 3 and a half hours to get the headache to go away and to calm the fuck down. Now that thing that hangs in the back of my throat is all swollen and i am trying to deal with that. It was kinda an accident this time. I had a few grateful deads and they have like 4 shots in them and i had already had an entire pitcher of beer by myself and i was just FUCKED UP. i didnt puke but i should have.

Spring cleaning!!!.....in aug.

Oblivion consumes me.....

The game that is. I have been playing the game Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion the past 2 days and i have to say "this game fucking rocks".

Wednesday:

I woke up and played Oblivion. Around 11:30 i made pizza and went out drinking with Malyna, Ryan and Dalina. We had a fantastic time even though Ryan got super fucking drunk and very weird about music. He kinda got upset that i was "cursed" by the whole song remembering thing. He kept insisting that he knew all of these people from bands and whatnot. "YOU KNOW....i am loosely connected to the band "taking back sunday" cause i know Mike"! So of course i retort "well that makes all of us LOOSELY connected to them as well cause we know you and you know Mike". This didn't sit to well with him......HEY KINDA LIKE HIS ALCOHOL!!! Anyway we got back at like 3:40 in the morning and crashed fast.

Thursday:

So at 10:00 my alarm goes off cause we(Dalina and I) have to be up for the "spiderman guy" to come and check out the apartment. Brief thing on this guy is that he found our add on http://sandiego.craigslist.org/ and became interested. So he emailed Dalina and his email address was like spiderman something at gmail. So after Dalina spoke with him once or twice she learned that his cat is named Luke. Now if this is just by chance then find but if he named it after the Grandmaster of the New Jedi order then.....then.....FUCKING SWEET. Anyway he was coming over to look at the place at 11:00 and he called at like 10:40 and said that his day was going to shit and that he needed to reschedule. I am not mad or anything but it kinda sucks cause was really hoping to figure all this shit out. Oh well so Dalina and i went to go have brunch with my mom who had a run in with a snake this morning. After that i ended up at my grandfathers house fixing/getting to work one of the digital picture frames that he got for his birthday last year. Dalina had to work so we made haste back to the house and after that she ran off to work and i was left all alone again....thats when i heard it. FUCKING OBLIVION LIKE CALLED TO ME!! So several hours later Leighton Msgs me with random "buttlord GT" comic quotes and after i show little interested he is like "i interrupted Oblivion didn't I"?....."maybe" was the best i could come up with. So a few hours ago i got up and threw in some Babylon 5 and watched about 6 episodes of Season 4. The whole time this is going on i am doing laundry so i am on load fucking 6 right now. After the last episode i decided to clean house and started like doing the little shit here and there. Like threw away the old bottle of cough syrup and like took all the damn soda cans out of my room and like made the bed and stuff like that. All and all i have had a pretty decent day. I am going to go work on some Dark Heresy shit so that tomorrow i can talk to skeet about it.

Friday:

So plans for tomorrow are....

1. get up at 10:30 and get shit together.
2. go pick up leightons mom at her house and take her to her car at 1:00pm.
3. go to Mission Valley to meet up with Sanu
4. stop by gamestop and preorder 2 things (Forced Unleashed, Warhammer Fantasy MMO)
5. stop by Borders and preorder 2 thing (A dance with Dragons, Brisingr)

Found out 2 days ago that jordan is moving out. This saves me the trouble of having to ask him to leave in October. Dalina is in the process of looking for a new roommate. Jordan is going to leave here a friend of mine but as for living together i hope to god that never happens again. We just don't match up as in that department. I was hoping to find someone young who would be willing to have a good time but was still responsible. I also wish i could find a girl to move in and not for the reasons that everyone will assume. Its more that sense we are find a random person to move in with i want to make sure that Dalina is safe. I wish i could live with someone i trust....

15 weeks

2008-05-06T20:15:27Z

So its been 15 weeks sense i last updated this thing. I don't even think anyone reads it any more but thats ok. Last night James came over for about an hour and managed to fix my computer. It has been broken for over a year and he just walked in and figured it out. See i got my bad ass computer of death in april of last year and not once has it worked to its full potential. To be fair it still isn't but thats because we were forced to under clocked the video card to get it to run stable. So i can now play all the high end games i have always wanted to....just not with my video card at where it should be. I am like one of the few people who can play Crysis on full graphics and not be super lagged or anything but before i got this fixed i couldn't play it at all. Tomorrow i am going to search for my other sticks of ram and throw them in here and then start backing everything up for a complete reboot. I might even go back to Vista. I haven't decided yet but i will start posting in this thing again so that people who care can keep up with whats going on.

Yesterday RX the team that came to San Diego to help fix the ramp at Southwest airlines has finally left. This means that on Tuesday we are bring the Xbox 360's back and the HALO 3 will begin Anew!!!!!

Gonna get punched for this one

2008-01-12T22:53:22Z

OK so i know i have said it about 10 or 15 different things but i will say it again and i really mean it this time. Mass Effect would make a great Pen and Pencil game.....OK there i said it. Now that being said and my beating secured i will explain this. It has 3 basic things that you can do with it. Give the soldier access to all the guns and let him upgrade them and train in them for cheaper and give him the most health. Give the Bionic(or energy guy) a huge amount of points and allow him to train in Bionics for cheaper the everyone else. Give him the least amount of health but he will be one of the more powerful classes. Kinda the caster of the game and for that he will be able to do some bullshit stuff but a few hits and he might just be out. give him light armor and basic guns....pistols and shotguns if he wants to invest the points into them. make him train harder on guns(by spending more points on them as where the soldier would be able to either be good at all guns or great at a few.) He can then us his powers to make his few guns and his few skills in them better so he can match the HP that the soldier would have. Then the Engineer or the Tech guy would get a Medium amount of HP and a low gun list. He would however be able to make his TECH tool(a computer generated image on your left or right arm that allows you to hack and use some tech based skills. to balanced them with the caster and the soldier we would allow them to agument the guns they have for cheaper and then give them cool skills like for 1 round he can make his gun think that he is firing a "burst Shot" even if his gun cant do that the computer in his gun will want to and it has a chance of doing that. He would also be able to change his gernades at a moments notice as where the rest of the party would have to buy new ones or find a tech to change them around. (different grenades would be like gas, ice, high explosives, Fusion and things like that.) He would also be able to make field repairs of armor. The really interesting thing about this game will come into play where you can mix certain classes. So you can have a soldier/bionic so like you are using your Assault Rifle and a Krogan uses his Racial ability of regen and Rush and charges you. A normal soldier would be locked into close combat. however because he has some Bionic skills he can use the Ability "throw" to knock his enemy back and throw him to the ground. then he can continue shooting him till he dies. Perhaps a normal bionic could have done the same or a normal soldier could have soaked the rush and switched to his shotgun but the soldier/bionic held his own balancing the game out. The tech/soldier could have used 2 skills in a moments notice so in the time it took the korgan to reach you(1 turn) the Tech used 2 skills(shield boost and Adrenalin rush to boost your lasting power and boost your personal strength). The soldier aspect could have busted out his shotgun in the turn it took the krogan to get there and now he is read for the close ranged fight. Giving him a fighting chance. The normal tech might have just thrown a freeze grenade but instead he had the soldiers skills with the shotgun to help him out. Just adding a bit of customization that you dont often see in a pencil and paper game.

Mass Effect

Just beat Mass Effect and OMG!!!!!!!!

leaving and staying

2008-01-03T11:37:59Z

Sometimes the smallest things can be the most annoying and the largest things can be nothing. I was told today by several people that i am being selfish....now not in that kinda terminology but might has well have said that. One person accused me of something which is true and the other accused me of something that is not. I am not going to go into the specifics of either of the cases but that is the truth of it. I also got decided today to make a choice for Bretton's D*D game where i will not really get involved in much role play. I don't know if he will even notice but we will see if my protest will go on for very long. He created an expansive world where political intrigue happens and all that but then he goes and does the standard DM thing where he gets a boner for his own game and his NPC reflect this. He always seem to do what the PC's do but just a bit bigger being as he knows what we are doing now. He also will build his enemies around fighting us. Now this isn't a total thing i mean he throws peons vs us that are meant to be destroyed and we do destroy them. However the boss characters almost always escape and almost always are VASTLY more powerful then the party. The other thing that got to me today is that i discovered how much time we really do waste today. Dalina and i got into it today about Thursday's schedule. She has plans for most of the day and i wanted to go out during the day. I didn't ask however instead i asked to fit into her schedule and when she couldn't make that happen i decided i was going to go out. She didn't like that very much cause she felt like i was ditching her but really she was the one who didn't have time for me. I am tired of rambling on about this at 03:33 in the morning. i am off to bed soon here in a few but in the meantime i am doing to go ahead and finish watching Rent here....a friend got me into this movie.

Been a while sense my last post but not to much to report. I was SUPER sick with what leighton is calling HIV+. its not really its just what he is calling everything from a cough to well....whatever it was that i had. But its over now and i am getting back to what i do best. Christmas is fast approaching and i hope everyone gets everything that everyone wants. I guess my biggest issue with christmas is when people get you stuff and you dont get them anything. i want to and i wish i could but i dont have the money to buy everyone something. I just hope that i can make everyone happy this year and move on. Also get in touch with me for new years fun i have a few friends joining me and a few more would be nice company.

hard times at Bobby Fisher High

2007-12-03T10:59:03Z

Once again i am poor.....shit this sucks. I have gone into money conservation mode to save up some money again. i knew it would be hard around Christmas but i didn't think things would get as tight as they are. I am going to have to cut down on going out and hanging and just anything that involves driving and spending money. i am also going to start picking up shifts again. I am sure things will work out but its just hard.

There is something else i wanted to talk about....but i have lost my nerve and i will write about it another time

Getting better

2007-10-17T06:30:58Z

So i am getting better a short bit at a time but my throat is still killing me. Dalina said today that she was starting to feel the signs of her throat going AWOL on here so we are hitting her with medicine and trying to get it under control. We wont be letting her work in the rain while sweating and being cold at the same time like i did...stupid.

the worst thing ever

2007-10-15T06:18:39Z

I haven't been really sick in a while so after my long as break from the plague i forgot how much i hated being sick. I wouldn't go so far as to say its the worst thing ever...but its pretty close. I am really praying that i am better by tomorrow cause my throat is killing me.

Quota

2007-10-13T04:31:20Z

"hey dude i am moving in a week wanna give me a hand?"
"no"
"no?...what do you mean no"
"yeah i have met my moving quota"
"alright"

about a month later

"hey dude did i wake you?"
"no but Dalina is asleep next to me"
"oh sorry...are you working on monday?"
"no why"
"is chica working on monday?"
"no why"
"was wondering if i could barrow you and the kitty van to help move some boxes"
"no"
"why not i helped you move in the past"
"not interested"

funny how different things look if you zoom out and take a look at your actions.

Heroes

2007-09-28T04:47:57Z

A good friend from work let me barrow his copy of Heroes season 1 and i have to say its so damn good i cant take my eyes off of it. i am on disk 4 of 6 and Nikki is in jail, matt just told his wife, hiro just found out how to get his sword to help fix his powers, peter is getting attacked by the invisible guy. Its so damn good dalina and i got up this morning and from like noon till...well about 10 minutes ago i have been watching ever sense(its 2147 right now).

2007-08-25T21:24:12Z

So i haven't really posted anything at all in a while so i will go ahead and fill you in on my latest adventure. My grandfather payed for 30 cruise ship tickets on Carnival Cruise line and gave them to my whole family and i was invited as well. So Dalina and i just got back from a 5 day cruise to Mexico and we LOVED THE SHIT out of that cruise. OK so to start from the time we got there we got our own stateroom and sense it didn't have a window or anything it was pitch black when the lights were off. Which would be totally great if they had a put a damn clock in the room(which they didn't) instead it was just pitch black and you would either wake up at like 5 in the morning cause you thought it was time to get up or you would sleep till 1 in the afternoon and someone would call your room and be like "why are you not up on deck". The food was pretty good the whole time and so that was never a really a problem and i thought the service was pretty good though i learned that the poor people who work on the boats like that have to work for like 9 months straight but then you have 3 months off and then you work for 9 months again. The thing is these guys get like one NIGHT off a week so otherwise they are always working and always on call. They can go ashore but i figure after a while you would run out of things to do at the same ports. Well we stopped in 2 places on our voyage Cabo San Luca's and Ensenada. We stopped in Cabo first and of course we had to go to Cabo Wabo which is for anyone who doesn't know a bar owned by Sammy Hagar. They had some of the best tequila i have every had in my life there. We moved onto a beach where my cousin Mike, Dalina and i snorkeled for about 1 hour. After that we made our way up the beach where we sat out and got just super drunk. Jen and Dalina both go so drunk they had to hand out in the bathroom for a bit. I was pretty freaking wasted as well but we managed to get back to the boat on time and headed out. After another full day at sea we made it to Ensenada where we tried so hard to recapture magical spark that happened in Cabo but it just didn't happen. We got off the boat and made our way to the bus stopped where for 10 bucks per person we all got a ride to the "best beach" the guy was really nice but he took us to a resort where we had to have a wristband to do anything and you only got a wristband if you were staying in the resort. So we had a few big choices to make. We could spend another 30 bucks to get this random guy with a boat to take use to take us to this very secluded area of the beach(my choice) or we could go and just sit at a restaurant near by and drink(everyone else wanted that). So we ended up sitting around and drinking at the bar there for a few hours and then headed back to the downtown and we only had like an hour or so we before we had to go back to the boat and so max and i were like...we have to grab a drink before we had back while the beer is cheap. Max and i leave our girls with my cousin Mike and after that we head to a bar near by....turns out its a strip club. First thing that happens when we walk in is this guy snaps his fingers at this chick drinking at the bar and she takes off running and he walks right up to us and says "you guys wanna get laid?" Max and i just about fall out of our skin as he says that cause it was so fucking random. We are both like "no thanks man we just want to pound a beer really fast". We are both thinking that we should get out of here soon or we are going to get jumped by the bouncer who wont stop looking at us. We pound the Tecate as fast as we can and check our wallets to see if we have any money for the poor girl on stage. We need 1 dollar per person to get back to the boat....i have 4 bucks and max has 2. This means that we have a single extra dollar so i give it to max and he goes and throws the buck on the bar where she like dives for it and take off and don't look back. we make it back to the ship for our last night at sea and we arrive back here in the morning. Everything goes fine this morning till they lose our bag and we have to dig around through about 800 other bags to find it. We finally do and head home thus ending the Grand Voyage up and down the coast. Very fun time and in the not to distant future i so want to have a road trip down there so we can spend some extra time and a few days in some of these places.

Decent OT

2007-06-24T07:07:14Z

got some OT tonight and its the first time i have had any in long, long while. Worked for about 6 hours after my first shift but made more then i would in almost 2 shifts. 2 hours of it were double time and 4 hours of it were time and a half. Decent money but its not going to be enough to solve some minor debut issues dalina and i are having with some of our credit cards. we aren't in any trouble but we have to start working on it before things get out of hand.

you ever get caught doing something you know you shouldn't be doing.......that just happened to me!

What happens in Vegas......

2007-06-04T07:42:49Z

Tomorrow i am off to Las Vegas the party capital of the world for a few (much needed) days of rest and relaxation. Its my first real vacation in over a year so i cant wait to dive in. We are staying at the Excalibur for the 4 nights i will be there. The only question is how much money do i spend while i am there. Gonna be non-stop parting and drinking and gambling and sex and all out just fun. I return on Friday afternoon to get caught up on some sleep before i am forced to go back into the world and work like a normal person again. The week after i get back i am gonna try to work some extra hours to restore my bank account for the dent i will for sure drop in it. off to get some sleep before i head out tomorrow...call my cell and see how i am doing but don't be upset if i don't answer....it may be hard to hear it ring over all the fun i will be having.

So Martine who is Dalina's mother called her the other day and told her that someone in one of her sober living houses had threatened to kill her. Dalina not really getting what was being asked of her didn't respond and her mother continued and said that she was to afraid to live there any more and was gonna come live with dalina and myself for a few weeks. Dalina figuring i would freak out by this told her mom "no" at first but shortly there after the decision was placed in my lap and not seeing any other way out of the situation i agreed to have her stay till the first of the month. Now mind you its like the 17th or something like that so we are talking a few standard weeks with dalina's mother living in my living room and using my shower and eating my food and preventing me or dalina from watching TV. So the deal was for a few weeks and i decided to put my foot down and say she had to be out on the 1st of June....as in she is gone on that day not as in she can spend the night that day. Now i come to find that she is going to push me by staying ONE extra day. Now not traveling to far from what i was just saying about how she is destroying my house she has also someone how managed to RIP my computer to shreds with some kinda Virus/Trojan or something that is causing me pop-ups and also preventing me from using basic windows tasks. So in about 10 minutes i am off to get back my copy of vista from a friend and at the same time drop a hundred and twenty bucks on a new hardrive that is much bigger. Being as my current hardrive is only 80gigs and the new like 300gig hardrives are like 120 at fry's electronics. So i am off and now you know what i have been living with for the past few weeks...and so if anyone knows a good hit.......mover to.....mover her out let me know.

Shocking Decisions

2007-05-15T19:58:52Z

So the new schedule is in full swing and going well. Its going to be hard for the next few weeks but i think that with the support i get at home everything should work out well. Dalina shocked me the other day by saying something VERY out of character. She asked when Carmon was coming back to San Diego. I don't really know personally but i just made a statement like oh not for another month. She asked me that if perhaps sense my current apartment isn't working out that if we could get a two bedroom with him. I was amazed because she has never been into the whole living with one of my friends. I mean i don't want to look at what i would consider progress and change for the better and change it but...why now and what is the motive. Before i continue i don't want to sound paranoid. I trust Dalina with every fiber of my being and would never consider the fact that her cheating on me is even an option. I also trust Camron with just about as much trust as i can offer a friend. But i mean why now and what spawned such a change in attitude.

Linkin Park Came out with their new album today and i am currently listening to it. Its a lot different from their last few albums and so i can see why people are going to have issues with it. I like it because its slower and feels like it has more heart then most of there songs. Its certainly a change of pace thats for sure.

Tomorrow the last spartan returns to Earth to finish the fight with the covenant. In the first multiplayer beta test for Halo 3. To get into the beta you either needed to complete a really long like 10 page paper on the website or buy the game Crackdown. I did neither but a friend of mine said that i could barrow his unused copy of Crackdown for the beta test. Cant wait to get into it and see the new set up.
