A while back (maybe 6 or 7 years ago), my friends and I were really into RC cars. We all had professional buggys and truck that we took over to a track to race and it was fun stuff. Over the years, I basically lost interest in it, but I never sold my car (an Associated RC10 Team Buggy). Recently, my interest in it has started to peak and after doing a little reseach, I’ve found that most of the electrics haven’t advanced that much in 6 years. The cars themselves have gotten very advanced though. So this mean I can basically use all of my same electronics from my last car, spend money on an extra car kit, and I’ll be up rolling in no time. Well, I bought my kit yesterday. It’s the HPI RS4 Rally with the Subaru body and it’s a bad ass piece of technology. I was working on it all night and I’m basically done except with the body, but I don’t really like that older Subaru too much. This is where I ask for your opinion. Which one of these bodies do you guys like? Keep in mind that it’s a rally car, but I like the street bodies too. Ohh, as if you’re really interested, I’ll put up pictures of it soon for all to see.

I haven’t had anything really interesting to talk about lately (like the things I put up here are that interesting anyway). I do have this link someone sent me though. It’s a pretty cool snowboarding game done in Shockwave and just another thing to bring my productivity down while at work. Thanx a bunch Mark.

Alright, Yahoo.com does this awesome “pick ’em” system for pro sports and I have started a group for the-journals.com. There’s a total of 50 spots open in the group and I hope all of you interested will do it. All you have to do is make sure you’re signed up for a Yahoo account (it’s free) and to sign up with Pro Football Pick’em. The following is the group information:

Can someone please explain what the hell my friend is doing?

I’m getting ready for the start of the NFL season. Check out this jersey and visor I just ordered. I had a hard time deciding between the blue and white jersey (the orange just reminded me of a public service worker), but I finally picked the blue. Pretty freakin’ cool if you ask me.

I think my friend has an obsession with his lesbian cat. You should really see this for yourself. No one takes that may pictures of their pet without them having some serious mental condition.

Another boring video game post. On September 5, the NFL will officially kick off the season. Man I can’t wait and now I don’t have to. NFL 2K3 from Sega was released yesterday for the PS2 and I picked the bastard up. If you know anything about football video games, then you know that the Madden series from EA Sports has always been the “end all, be all” of football games, but that’s no longer the case. Sega tops EA is just about ever aspect with NFL 2K3 and it’s very plain to see. The only people who are going to even bother picking up Madden (also released yesterday) are the die hard fans of the series who are simply stuck in their ways. Ohh, and Sega also got rid of cry baby Randy Moss (from last years version) on the cover to pick up bad ass tough guy Brian Urlacher. Now I get to guide my Bears to the Super mofo Bowl baby! This is definitely the new “end all, be all” of football games.

I just found out my Aunt Jackie passed away this week. I was looking for an image of her to put up, but I couldn’t find one. She had a stroke a couple years back and, since then, has very much been inactive. It’s pretty sad, but everyone seems to be taking it well because, sadly enough, this seems like the better thing that could happen in this situation. Anyway, I’ll be with my family all day today.

I read this study a while ago that said a large percent (I don’t recall the exact number) of people find the time to sleep in the bathroom at work. I am not an exception to this. During my time of need yesterday when I was incredibly tired, this was inevitably a trip that needed to be taken. When sitting on the throne, I had always just held onto the “special” people bar for retards and rested my head against that. Sure it was cold and uncomfortable, but it worked. Well, a friend guided me over the proper way to sleep in our work bathroom. He explained how I need to pull the shelves over from the wall to directly in front of me and lay my head on the top of that. He was so right! It’s the perfect height when sitting. You have to find something to lay over the cold bare steel though and considering it will probably be some sort of reading material, it’s got to be something where the ink wont rub off on your skin. This is not an easy task when you haven’t pre-planned your current pooping session, you’re in the heat of the moment, and the pressure is about to make your ass fall off. My solution? I’m going to begin creating a non-abrasive non-marking pad to lay under me that I can hide in the bathroom cabinets. Then I can have hours and hours of sleeping enjoyment in our work bathroom.

So what’s the point of this post? Well, I learn something new ever day. What did you learn today?

It’s kickin’ in. Ignore the pastel colored midgets running around with knives in their teeth. If they keep asking me for glue sticks, I’ll just have to cut off their heads and kill ’em. Jesus, did I say that?! Are they listening? Can they hear me?
