So I started this new 3D Chat thing. It's really fun chat where you get to make your own charactor and put them into conversations with other people. Already I have meet people from Canada, New York, people from the Carribian Islands, and so on. You can customize your avitar (3D charactor) with thinkgs like clothes, hats, accessories, wings, horns, halos, pets, anything and everything. On top of that you can customize your own personal room that you select once you create your charactor. So if you're interested check it out.

Day at the drag.

Ok, this post was supposed to be done by the 31 of March but I procrastinated so here it is now.

On the 31st of March I went out to Topgun Raceway in Fallon, Nevada and took pictures of the drag races there. I took most of my supposed "best" shot's with my dad's analog camara and the rest are digital. I have not developed the film yet so all the pictures you will see now are digital. Enjoy these photo's, I know I did when I was taking them.

ON BROADWAY!

So this weekend was uneventful. It started on a friday. The field closed early so I got home about 8 o' clock and then went to bed about 10. I had to get up to raise the flag on base around 8 o' clock and then after that I drove out to Reno to see my friend Dave.

Reno's Arc

We ended up eating some Corn-beef and Cabbage at the Cal-Neva casino. It was good, but it doesn't compare to homemade. I was glad that I eat fast because it got cold fast because the resturant was cold. However it was nice like that, the only down side is that the food got cold relitivly fast. After we finished eatting we walked around a little bit and thats where I took a picture or the Reno Arc you see in the above picure. We killed a little bit of time and then headed over to the theatre. We went to go see Aida at the Pioneer Center for a late birth day present. Aida is a story about a tragic romance. A classic "Romeo & Juliet" story. It is set in Egypt during a time of war between the Egyptians and the Nubians; sound familiar? WARNING SPOILER Anyways the Nubian princess, Aida, gets captured by the Egyption captain, Radames, while she is sailing on the Nile. The Egyptians take her to the Egyptian palace and make her a handmaid for the Egyptian princess, Amneris. During Aida's service as a handmaid she becomes close to Amneris, and develops a love for Radames who is betrothed to Amneris. Eventually the Nubian king, Amonasro, gets captured and is put in prison awaiting exicution. Aida and Radameses love for each other and they are both sentenced to be buried alive together, but before they are sealed in the tomb forever the vow to find each other in another life and continue to love each other for all eternity. If you get the chance then you should check this out, however, It's nothing to bend-over backwards to get to either.

The program for Aida

The theatre has an intersting set up, it is set up with will call on-top and the stage and seats are underground. All the seats are good seats, however, the ones that people preffer are more exspensive so we just got some seats that where reasonably priced. When we got into the theatre, there were no flash pictures of the show alowed so I didn't take any picutres of the performance. I was able to get a picutre of the stage when the curtain was down however. The piece they used was a triangle and a winged-flying scarab with talons in the middle.

Curtain Piece.

After the show I had to get back to the base to lower the flag and then I can call it a night. Tommorow I have another watch and then church and work. Then it's back to the normal week.

What's new

2007-03-09T18:04:00.000-08:00

Not much has happened since my last journal. I said good bye to my sweetie as she went to Italy on a school tour. She'll be back on the 14th but I still misss her so much. We had room inspections this thursday and as usual we passed no sweat. I figured I would try something new and every time I have a room inspection then I will post the "pose of the month" picture that I pose my gundam figures in. So with no further delay here they are:

Decided on this pose since I haven't done this one before.

This one is of the one that I can never really figure out what to do with.

Here is both of them together.

Coming down

2007-01-30T11:49:00.000-08:00

This weekend was filled with great times and in the end was celebrated with sorrow.

Starting on friday after work I rented a snowboard and put my cloths in my car because I was going to Reno to see my girlfriend and her mom to celibrate both our birhtdays. Well, I got there the same time they did and meet up in there room where we got situated and decided what to do from then on. We ended up going out to eat at CLAIM JUMPER. We had to wait an hour to get seats but it was worth it. After dinner we headed back to the hotel and went to sleep.

We got up really early the next morning so we could head out to the slopes and ski some. I did a good job, being as it was my second time on the slopes, and Rachel... well lets just say she was waiting on me most of the time. :-P. After we all had our fill of skiing we packed up and headed back to reno, but first we stopped in Trukee to take in the sites. After that, on the ride back home, Rachel and I got to fall asleep in the back seat together and the trip was over quickly after that. We got back to the hotel and jumped into the hot-tub, we all relaxed and let our muscles soak. Once we got back to the room we put in a movie and fell asleep shortly after.

We all got to sleep in the next morning but when we all got up we celebrated both our birthdays. It worked out because mine is one the 28th and Rachels is on the 29th so we just celebrated both in one day. We opened presents and then went down to get breakfast. After that we went to the planitarium and then got dressed-up back at the hotel for dinner and a show. We went to a fantastic Italian resturant in one of the casinos and saw The Twelve Irish Tenors and the same casino. After that we went called it a nite and headed back to the hotel.

The next morning was sad because we had to seperate untill the next time we are together. We said our sad "good-bye's" and "I love you's" and went on our ways.

What's new

2007-01-25T20:08:00.000-08:00

Hey guy's,

Well, I saw the most recent 007 movie and gawked at the Aston Martin in it. Worth 270,00 dollars it truly is a marvel. Well I went looking for the Aston Martin web site and was able to create my dream car on the web site. Here is what it looks like:

I can only dream about it but this is what I would get if I could. Worth about 120,000 dollars I truly can only imagine what it would be like to have this car.

This weekend my girlfriend is coming up for a visit and we are gonna be going skiing. However, this trip will be a short one since she can only stay for a little bit of time. The reason she is coming down is our birthdays. Mine happens to be on the 28th and hers the day after. Well, I don't really have much more "new" news to tell you all. I hope the weekend is good to you... peace.

Deja Vu

2007-01-22T20:49:00.000-08:00

Hello again people,

Well, today was my day off seeing as I worked yesterday (sunday) and I had a pretty good time. I got laundry done, I got to play a months worth of video games in the last two days, I watched some more of Stargate SG-1, and I saw three movies on the base theatre.

Saturday was a relax day. Not, I got stuck with watch at 0800 in the morning, had to be there thirty minutes early, and got stuck again at 1701, again I had to be there thirty minutes early. Well, in the time between those two watches I was able to watch some more Stargate SG-1 and got through one disk. Went to lunch, came back and drove into town with some friends. We went around but our main stop was the Tiramisu Cafe, a coffee shop, were we all got the Cafe Tiramisu and let me tell you that it was the best. We went back to catch my 1701 watch after dinner and then went to go see a movie at the base theatre. The movie was WE ARE MARSHALL and it was a touching movie. Based on a true story about a town that loses a football team to a plane crash and has to rebuild a new one from scratch. After that I desperatly tried to call my girl friend but with no avail did I succeed; so, I went to go see a second movie, CASINIO ROYALE. The latest James Bond movie which I had already seen before, but hey it's a free movie. I got to thinking about how much the car that gets totaled cost and I came up with this number, 280,000+ dollars. WHAT THE HECK WAS BOND THINKING!!!???? JK. BED TIME

Sunday I would have liked to go to church but I had to work and was not able to attend. However at work we had nothing goining on and there was no good reason for us to be there... so I played PS2 for 5 hours untill the field closed. I got some good gaming time in on sunday. After work I was famished seeing as brunch was the only thing that I ate that day and it was 1800 by the time I got off. So I went out into town, to KFC and ate there. I was very displeased with their service because first I thought they over charged me for the meal then I found out they gave me the wrong meal. I didn't say anything because it was changed immeadiatly and I was refunded the money. BED TIME

Monday was my day off and a day of rest and relaxation, so I played more games and watched more of my shows. Went to go see DEJA VU, starring Denzel Washington, which was an interesting movie and well worth my time to see it. It's about a cop who investigates the murder of 540 people killed in a terrorist strike. However, in his investigation he uncovers some interesting clues and ends up changing the course of history. It was the first movie to put me on the edge of my seat since LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO THRONES.

Hey guy's,

So I went snowboarding for the first time over the weekend at Sugar Bowl in California. I had a great time although I spent the first 45 minutes trying to get my rentals for my gear. Right as we got there a tour group pulled up and everyone was renting. What a hassle, if only we were 10 minutes earlier. Oh well, I ended up on the slopes a little bit after my friends went down a few time and took some advise from them since I had no idea what I was doing.

The first time I went down I fell about every 100 feet but I was just getting a hold of the ropes. The second time I went up I fell about four times, and finally the third time I went up, by myself seeing as my friends told me all I needed to know and I just needed to practice, I fell down only twice. Well, even after that I continued up and down the slopes till I couldn't feel my legs any more and then headed over to the lodge to get some chow. Mmmm... Chicken sandwich. After I finished eating I hung out at the bar and watched a little bit of the game. Then it was back to practicing again. I headed back up the mountain and slid down again a few more times.

Around that time someone from my group called me and we all meet up at the lodge to go down a few more times before they closed. The people that taught me the ropes said I was getting better but I had a really long way to go. After the slopes closed I turned my rentals back in and we hung out at the lodge for a little while longer. After that we were headed back to Nevada. We stopped off in Fernly at a place called Bully's to eat something for dinner and meet up with our gang from work. After that we all headed home for a good night rest, we were gonna be soar tomorrow.

Well the next day came it turns out I wasn't as soar as they said I was gonna be. Although my butt did hurt from falling on it so many times... :-/.

It's been awhile

2007-01-04T19:24:00.000-08:00

Hey,

So it's been a while guys. First off I joined up with the NAVY and am an air traffic controller in NAS Fallon Nevada. I have a wonderful girlfriend, the same one in my last blog. And we are happy together. I have not started college yet and that is one of my regrets. Had I known it was gonna be over a year before I started school I would have gone to college before joining the military. I also regret not taking the SAT. I would gladly go back in time and change that if I could but I just have to tough it out in the military. I can CLEP some classes and get them out of the way but I have to study hard to pass them and it's been a while since I haven't been in the class room environment for a while. There's not much else to tell, so have fun and bee safe guy's.

Oh yea and, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The Blog Returns

2005-06-20T13:45:00.000-08:00

So hey I havn't quite written in a while no biggy. Sue me if you missed me ok. Any ways there are a lot of great stories I have to tell you.

From present to past

First off we recently had our AC die in our house so the whole family stayed at my girlfriends house till it got fixed. (Major benifits for me. I got to stay at my girlfriends house for like a week straight.) Today we got it running though so bummer for me. No biggy though, I'll just have to deal with it. It was funny though cause for like four days we would have the house temperature up in the 90's.

Prior to the death and return of our AC I went on a vacation with my girlfriend, Rachel, and her mother, Rita. We went to Vegas and I met her father for the first time in person. I thought that it was so cool. On the return trip we took a little off road trip right into a barbed wire fence. Fourtunatly, two guys stoped and had bolt cutters to cut the wires and shovels to lossen the dirt around our car. We were very gifted to get out of that little mess before police showed up and within 30 mins. After that we decided that I wasn't gonna drive on the country roads anymore. Lol, (oops :-/).

Prior to the Vegas journey. We, my family and Rita, went to Callifornia. We veged on the beach, swam, rode some waves, ferried to Catalina Island. We also went to Disney's 50th aniversary. It was so cool.

Thats really about it for my life, atleast from the last span of blog.

Next jobs on my to-do list is tell my girlfrieds dad how serious we are getting, stop working and train for the NAVY. Well that's all folk TTYL. TTFN.

P.S. - Rachel I love you. now its all over the world wide web.

The Past and then the present

2005-05-16T23:56:00.000-08:00

Ok so prom's over and I went with the most fabulous looking girl, well in my eyes she was more than that but the point is that she looked great. I picked her up from her house and, after about what seemed to ba a bajillian photos, we went to eat at the Olive Garden at paradise valley mall. The service was great so I tipped good.

Now this would be a good oppertunity to talk a little bit about tipping. If you give less than 15% in a tip then you need a reality check. Servers only make about two to four dollars an hour in there checks and the rest is in tips. If your check was 23 dollars and you leave 2 dollars then you are telling your server that the service was bad. They say the minimum for service is 15% and the average tip rate is 20%. Now depending on the service of the resturant depends on how this percentage is affected. If the service sucked, then tip 10% but if it was satisfactory tip 15 - 20%. Any higher depends on how phenominal the service was, but you should never leave the table without tipping your server.

Anyways, after the meal we got to the Wrigily Mansion and went in and soon found out that it was not like the hype made at school. They said there was gonna be a, "mad DJ there", and "Photographers", and also "all of your friends". First off, the "DJ" there was ok but all that was played was rap and... well more rap. Nothing really to dance to and the floor was a bit smaller than I expected; it was a layout of about 12 feet square. The Photographers there were ok but when the pictures came out they cropped them to face on individuals instead of the group or couples. Finally, there was not really any of my friends there at all. Of course there was faces that I knew but no one that I hung out with outside of school. Although the night was down sized by my high hopes I was still glad to have been there with my love. Even though we did not dance we still had a ball untill we left. I feel that it was a very successfull night and I look forward to the future with this girl of mine.

"Offical" Start of my blog journal

2005-05-06T13:25:00.000-08:00

Ok so I have desided to make this the "Official" first post og my blog journal. Today was hard and easy for me to wake up. It was hard in the fact that I only heard one alarm clock of mine. BTW I have like four alarm clocks and I can't hear them when I sleep. So after all my alarms have gone off, I wake up to the sound of my mother in the kitchen. Given that I have had four alarms going off for the past 5 mins I wake up to sounds in the kitchen? How does that work out? Ok so I wake up, get dressed. I already took a shower like 8 hours earlyer before I slept in my freshly washed bed sheets so I'm already clean. I dress up nice for my presentation and get to school on time.

So Im there in my second hour waiting for that stupid bell to ring because I really don't feel comfy round the teacher. I like the lesson, which is Hamlet, or turbo Hamlet since we are learning it in a matter of 3 three weeks. So we are watching the movie with a sub who we have had before. The same sub who told us about morbid dreams she had about killing students. So we all are freaking out with this phyco sub from hell and wish that bell came sooner. Finally, after a tense 55 mins the bell rings. We all get out of there ASAP, no one want to be near that phyco lady. So I get to my Govt class and I'm the first one up. So I set up my presentation and start. I go through my shpeal and get people to pay attention with fun iotas and pictures and even some shocking items that will get people to go "WTF!?". After I finish my speach, I test there attention abilities by giving them a test on what I taught and not caring checked there work and they all past. Woopy.

OK after my sphpeal, three others spoke next and out of courtisy, I listened as well athough there voice tone could have been more... exciting than monitone. So class finally ends for me, and I walk the three blocks it takes me to get home and change into slacks and a tie. Already had a dress shirt on for the presentation. Heading out the door I forget to grab my dress shoes, which I quickly shine and put on. I head over to the Shereton Four Points and wait for my employer to arrive, which he never did. Theres 28 dollars down the drain. The celibration goes on and we commemorate the achivements of DECA and COE as well as thank the employers for hiring us. After that is done I am free from any other events till later tonight where I will attend a comedy night with my girl friend. After tonight I will be so happy to see tommorow because it is PROM. HUZZAH. Well, I think I'm bought ready just need to pick items up and then mentally prep. No problem.

First blog post

2005-05-04T10:36:00.000-08:00

Hello there. This will be my first blog post on this site and I'm so excited that I was able to start this up. I decided to start this to record events that mean a great deal of importance to me. Because this is the first post here, I'm gonna put a little bit of info about my self here.

I am 18 as of Jan. 28. I am a senior in high school but not for long as the year comes to a closing. I am currently in a relationship with a girl I love. This is very special to me and I do not want to jeoperdize what I feel is a good thing. I study the book by Miyamoto Musashi titled the "Go Rin No Sho"; or more commonly known as "The Book of Five Rings". I currently am training one student who shares the same views on bushido as me and look forward to sparring with him when he feels he has learned what he needs. I also train other pupils at a school known as Scimitar Talon. However, those pupils are currently not enthusiastic about learning what I offer so I don't regularly teach them as I do my apprentice. I hope to finish training and spar with my apprentice before I start school again for I will not be able to personaly train him after that. After the summer I will be sent to boot camp to undergo basic training and then from there I will be sent to school in Florida. There I will learn the skills of an Air-traffic Controler. After my training I will have a job and be making mad bills and be able to give my girl gifts that I might not be able to offer as of now. ( :-D. Thats about it for my present life right now.

I guess I'll talk about my girl friend but I'm not gonna reveal to much about her. She is two years younger then me and is a day late then me. She is very beautiful to my eyes and has a personality that I adore, and that is very good for me. She has helped me out just as I have done for her and I feel that we have a good thing right now. I intend to take her to my senior prom on Sat. May 7. and unless some tragic event accurs then that intention will be reality.

Right now I am writing this post at school in my 4th hr class. Shows how much time I have doesn't it? Class time is just about up so I must end this post here. I hope you liked this post for I will be maintanging this journal as long as I can. I look forward to talking to people who have enjoyed this post and hope you come back to enjoy what else I have to say.
