The wrong side of Vengeance

Vengeance is a dish best served cold.

I won't say that I have run out of people to hate, but I definitely seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel lately. Everyone seems to have what’s coming to them i guess. Oh well..

Wedding Construction

I Began work with a Gazeebo my father has been building for my wedding. He has built the entire thing in the garage, and is ready to set it up in Crystals field. We used my GPS unit to map the field and take measurements for the placement of the gazeebo.



We were originally expecting Ground work to have to be done, but as it turns out the ground is quite solid, and completely level. No ground work is needed, and the gazeebo can just sit on deck anchors in the field.

A note on fashion

I was just thinking. So say your trying to pick up a girl at a bar, and if successful, the inevitable question will come up "What do you do for a living?". Now lets just say you do something that is really funny, but not too respectible, like making halloween costumes for dogs. Do you lie? Do you stretch the truth, like saying a fashion designer? What other professions would bring about this dilemma?

Blogging

I took advantage of bloggers "next blog" feature today and looked over various random blogs that were generated by people. The only one that I found that I read all the way through was this one:

http://reparaizins.blogspot.com/

I details the trials and tribulations of a racist black man. Read it for your self.

The top article (at the time of this post details) details an event where he walked into an office supply store, and a salesperson approached him and asked if he could help him. This of course, prooved insulting to the man, who felt the need to proove his purchasing power to the sales person.

The great thing about the internet is that sometimes the people on it are serious!

Coke v. Pepsi. which is more accurate?

Things that are crap about my GPS:

1. The thing freezes sometimes when I am uploading. I have to take it apart, and remove the power cell as I am unable to power it off.
2. I have anoying 0 byte files that I am unable to delete without them re-appearing. (I can rename the files, but they are still annoying)
3. no way to plug it into your car battery unless you buy the extras.
4. The software is crap, and I find it much easier to just modify the files using notepad.

Things that might be crap, but I am not sure.

1. Near large bodies of water such as lakes the GPSr will will often tell me that the cache is well off into the lake (often up to 150 meters out there, with a 9m accuracy). This might be a problem with the magellan GPS (the Pepsi), or it might be a problem with the Garmin GPS (The Coke) regardless, one of them has a problem.

I am planning on doing a little experiment with my garmin next time I am by the lake with some aluminum foil. I need to know.. I may have to buy into a backup GPS. Still this is a pretty inexpensive hobby considering these expenses.

So what I want to get, should my aluminum foil plan fail:

1. Garmin Gps
2. Has waypoint Projection ability
3. cheap but not 'cheap' cheap ie. crap

Any suggestions?

Midnight date

The full moon has come (I have been eagerly anticipating it!), and I will be attempting the midnight hat trick cache in tottenham tonight with my swank new illumination bazooka. I will be tromping around the bush looking for reflective markers on trees and rocks from about 10 until midnight I assume. I will likely also be grappling the people that come along for this one, because that’s what I like doing to people in the forest on a full moon. WHA HA!



Happy Samhain everybody!

(School) Debt free

I received the notification from OSAP that they would begin charging me interest on my school debt now. The interest rate was much larger then I had expected (7.6% !!), I happily replied to them with a cheque for the full amount of my debt that I had been working to collect.

Now I just have to pay off my car (~15k$), wedding (~10k$), house down payment (~20k$), and I will enjoy the financial freedom of being able to pay a mortgage(~400k$)! BOO-YAH! *a tear rolls down my cheek

Sun Tzu has all the fun

培养主人的十万个人和参与他们在战争中需要严重损失在人民和流失在资源。每日开支将共计一千盎司银。有将是混乱国内外, 并且人将滴下用尽。

敌对部队也许互相面对几年来, 力争也许被决定在一天的胜利。这将如此, 保留在对敌人的情况的无知因为你吝惜一百盎司的费用额银简单地是高度愚蠢。

一个谁行动得因而是人没有领导, 没有当前帮助对他的起因, 胜利没有大师。因而, 什么使明智的司令员触击和征服, 并且达到事在伸手可及的距离普通的人之外, 是预知。现在这预知无法被得出从精神; 它无法由任何演绎的演算引人地获得从经验, 亦不。敌人的性格的知识可能只被获得从其它人。

Such is how i must be. Such is how it must end.

new weapon against dark forces

WHA HAHAHAHA!!! I just got this, and initial testing has got me gitty. I find that too often I am in the woods when the sun goes down. This is not a new thing, just happens more often nowadays. I have never had a flashlight with a safety switch on it. It makes sense of course, now that i have looked directly into the light (how else would you test it?)

L337 for G337

Swifteroo brought to my attention a device called the GEET Engine, which supposedly runs on Petroleum-bases or other combustables to produce the same effects as a normal combustion engine, but has zero-emissions.

Now I fully admit, I am a gullible person. My girlfriend still laughs at the story of me getting all excited about a Discover magazine article I read in 1995 about burrowing hot-headed mole rats that burned through the ice in antarctica to capture penguins (see text here). I didnt figure out it was an april fools joke until I did some research on it 6 years later in an attempt to win a bet. Ugh.

Back to the GEET. The question is raised but not answered in the article, why has this technology not been adopted? Why hasn't anyone heard of it?

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave
with the intention of arriving safely
in a pretty and well preserved body,
......
but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming,..
"WOW! WHAT A RIDE!"

Someone actually likes my work! Hurray!

Someone contacted me asking me if they could publish my beutiful work on their website. I agreed. Such is my entrance into the world of professional water tower photography! Engineering is for losers!

Getting dressed is painful sometimes..

I have now had the full experience, this pseudo-summer. This morning (around 6pm) I woke up and put my shirt on, only to feel the unpleasantness of tiny venomous needles sticking into me.

There were about 3 hornets living in my shirt (that was folded and put in my chest of drawers by the way). They apparently didn't like me wearing their home, so they went sting crazy.

I haven’t been stung by hornets or bees since I was a wee kid, and this summer I have been stung by both. Here are my findings!

Bees - Hurt like a bitch and then leave a large poison sac pulsating in your skin, oozing venom into your blood, and will probably take about 10 hours to completely get rid of the pain. The area will be numb for days.

Hornets - Bigger and scarier looking, but their stings are far less painful. They have the exact same sensation as a bee sting, but without the pumping venom feeling.

I hopefully have gotten through to those who are allergic to bee stings. Now that you know what it feels like given my vivid description, and eloquent wording, you won’t be tempted to go out and try it!
