Karma Maybe?
So yes, I am back here in California now…
and someone or something is looking out for me, 2 weeks ago when I was here Avis screwed up a bit when they were out in the garage putting the name tags in the cars, so when I went out to get my car I came across a beautiful site…. a 2006 Mustang Convertible, I was psyched and very happy for this upgrade….. so I get in and head to the exit… I get there and find out that it was not my car, they had put the tag in the wrong vehicle, I was supposed to be in a Ford Taurus. OOOOOO FUN! NOT.
So I spent a week in that Taurus and dealt with it…
Well… today I was repaid… I legitimately got a 2006 Red Convertible Mustang.
It is fantabulous!
That deep throaty sound as you rev the engine or accelerate down the highway…. yeah… I like that!
However, I do have a few complaints…
1- Trunk space just is not there, you can fit 2, maybe 3 bodies in it, unless they are Calista Flockheart, then we could probably squeeze in 6 or 7.
2- Peripheral Vision…. really small rear window… not that great…. but with the top down it is no problem… take the good with the bad…
3- The speedometer… it only goes to 120mph, what the hell? My Jetta goes to 140!
and the last one… which anyone who knows me will probably agree that this is a crime against humanity…
4- It is an automatic…. yes, a high performance traditional US made Muscle Car has an automatic transmission in it. I think the crime against humanity is the fact that they even make these things with an automatic transmission in them! I know a lot of people say, “Why does it matter?” or “Who cares?”, and to these people, 99% of them have 1 of 2 things in common, they either can’t drive a stick, or they have never driven one for any extended period of time! I shall never go back to an auto again unless I am put under the threat of death!
ANY high performance sports car or muscle car should be a manual transmission… Porsche… Ferrari… Corvette… Camaro…. Mustang… jaguar… ALL of them should only be made in manual transmissions…
but I will enjoy this car none the less, but it could have been better….
I may need to go cruise for chicks just because I can!
I am a Socialite?
| What type of partier are you?
Your Result: The Socialite
You like only the best liquors, the latest trendy martini’s, or the finest single-malt scotch. You are not one for the ‘dive bar’, you prefer classy lounges filled with model-quality people. When intoxicated, you flirt, but are coy and unattainable, you make your suitors WORK for it. |
I would like to add that I also do like dive bars, I don’t like scotch, but the rest is basically true…..

You are Spider-Man

You are intelligent, witty, a bit geeky and have great power and responsibility.

Here Is How It All Went Down
Posted by nedster in Annoucements, Fun, Personal on 2006/10/22
I apologize if any exact details are left out but you get the idea….
Friday night, my sister and BF went out for dinner to a Thai place they go to all the time.
They are having their dinner and have been making jokes and comments about the “crazy guy” in the kitchen through the course of the night.
So they are talking about their up coming trip to Jamaica and her BF throws out a question to her.
“What if while we were down there we just ran over to Grand Cayman and got married?”
My sister responds “We can’t do that, you know my family, they would kill me if I ever did something like that”
“Ok, but you did not answer the other part of the question about us getting married”
“Well, we can cross that bridge when we come to it”
“What bridge?”
“You know, that bridge, the one really high up over a deep dark precipice that is shaky and make of planks and rope and sways a lot in the wind. That bridge”
“Oh, ok….. What the hell is he doing in there?” *Looks towards kitchen*
She turns around to look at the kitchen and says “What are you talking about?”
She turns back around to face him and sitting on her plate of noodles is a small little wrapped up box….
and well, that is all of the story that I got…
I think it was a pretty smooth way for things to go down!
Let’s Get Ready To Rumble!!

So I am normally a rather laid back person, and I think anyone who knows me can agree with that, as is Lisa my friend who got tickets for us to go to the Dave Matthews Show at Fenway tonight.
Well, we may be laid back but don’t fuck with Lisa when she is trying to enjoy a show.
Yes, we are talking to you mr fat ass sweaty man who decided to take off his shirt and swing it around. You were asked nicely to stop swinging it around because you kept hitting lisa with it and she did not appreciate getting smacked with your nasty T shirt while she is trying to dance and enjoy the show.
So yes, I did go inform security about you and they warned you, they should have tossed you right then and there, but they didn’t, and you hit her again a couple more times.
Then she turned around pissed off and took the t shirt from you, and then I took it from her. Yes, it all would have been find and you could have gotten your T shirt back at the end of the show, but no, you had to be the typical drunk asshole and threaten violence. No, leaning over and whispering to me that you wanted your shirt back or you were “Gonna open up house and clean up” wasn’t really anything that was bothering me, although I did put my glasses in my pocket to prevent them from getting broken when you did decide to be an idiot.
I really think you need to go take some lessons on how to fight someone, first of all, don’t be such a pussy and take a blind shot at someone, and if you are going to take a cheap shot at someone from behind, at least learn to actually hit them, you barely grazed me! I do have a lump, but you practically missed!
Luckily for you I didn’t throw a punch, even though I could have thrown many of them, simply because I wanted to continue to enjoy the show and not have to leave.
She really is not someone you want to be fucking with at this point, if you had not been nasty disgusting human being, chances are you probably would have literally had your balls ripped from your body. You actually looked scared(I would have bene if I were you) when she was standing on the chair and screaming at you after the cheap shots you took.
No wonder some people have such a negative attitude about people from boston and the drunk assholes that exist at concerts….
and I mean this in the nicest way possible, but if you are fat, chances are you know you are fat, and honestly – please do us all 2 favors – buy clothes that actually fit and keep them on while in public!!!
On another night, I liked the show a lot, and it was fun, they even learned Sweet Caroline for everyone to sing along with!
It Was “WICKED COOL”
So I was flying home from Las Vegas after a lovely stay in Salt Lake City for a couple days….. yeah… that was exciting…
but there was a really cool thing that I got to see on the way home, while flying over eastern Colorado (I was on JetBlue so I got to see the tracker thing on my screen so I knew where I was) there were severe thunderstorms, luckily we were flying well above them so they did not affect the flight and being a smooth flight.
It was really one of the coolest things I have gotten to see, it looked like the 4th of July in the sky below, there were flashes one after another, almost constantly, you could see up to 8 different ones all going at once. Sometimes just seeing the clouds being lit up, and sometimes seeing the actual bolts shooting between the clouds.
It was kind of like watching an old movie where they are bombing a city at night, and you are in the bombers. You see the flashes lighting up the sky and clouds below you. If I did not know what it was, I would have thought someone was bombing colorado.
It was truly one of the coolest things I have ever seen, unfortunately it kept me awake for WAY too long because I watched it for well over 2 hours, and then again over Ohio I think it was where there were some more storms, but not as big as the ones out in Colorado.

Know When To Hold Em…
Posted by nedster in Entertainment, Fun, Travel on 2006/06/20
and know when to fold em…
and tonight, I knew when to fold em, although I wasn’t playing cards…..
I was playing craps, New York New York was the casino. I started with $100, I was up to $250 at one point, but then things turned bad…. I was down to $30… but, when all was said and done, I walked away from the table with $166, and gave the dealers $10, and then kept my $1 chip as a souvenir…
$55 profit on day one… not bad….
This place is nutty, if I wasn’t in the casino I would have at least 50 photos for the hall of shame my sister keeps, the outfits… what goes through people’s heads to think that this is OK to wear in public?!?!?!
Also, I need to find a store cuz my ass needs to buy some shorts, I knew it was going to be warm, but holy shit, it was 109 out today!
Ok…. more to come later….

So anyone with suggestions or places to go or things to see, etc etc etc…
The Coolest Company So Far
Posted by nedster in Entertainment, Fun, Work on 2006/04/28
So I was supposed to be in Cincinnati this week, but I ended up in Beavercreek just outside of Dayton, although I saw no beavers nor any creeks so it was a tad disappointing.
However 2 highlights from this little trip.
1- I got hit on at a bar by a circus clown, she was not all dressed up, but the circus was in town, no, seriously, the Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Baily Circus was in town and performing at Wright State University which was basically across the street from my hotel. It was fun and interesting but it never went past the bar. I may be freaky but I just could not go there.
2- This was the coolest company I have gotten to go visit so far with my job. They are really small but they make a ton of money because they manufacture Night Vision Goggles. The real ones that the military actually uses. I got a tour and saw how they are manufactured, and it is pretty neat.
Then I got to test out a pair!
It is totally exactly like you see in the movies!! The green hue and everything. The room was totally dark, I mean TOTALLY dark. I could not even see my hand 1 inch in front of my face, but they worked and I could see nearly perfectly once I had them turned on. No colors except shades of green, but I could see everything right down to the contours of my tour guides face.
I SO want a pair!! they run on a single AA battery, now if I can just figure out where to scrounge up an extra $15k to pay for one set of goggles.
