A New Home...

Well, we have officially moved from gyeryong. last night i bought 1024sq m just south of seopophong, only about 200m(or so) from The Cutlass Club.

currently the grid is down for maintenance, which means linden owned land will get repaired, and the rest of us will continue to lag lag lag. and another freaking update be coming down the pike? i hope not. im tired of the endless updates... that dont seem to fix anything.
i cant beat the lag at all, everyplace lags, except my home. that doesnt lag. SL and my FL seem to parallel, my FL lags as much as SL does.

till next time

That was fast!

While at work yesterday, i got a call from home telling me that my replacement keyboard was there. this mind you after i was told it going to be 3-4 weeks because it was on backorder. am i complaining? NOOOOOO. i am glad it came early.

I am home safe and sound for now. there may be a lot more trips to spokane in my future, as a big account for my office is up in spokane., and apparently is my job to setup and maintain it. on a financial standpoint, it is huge. on a travel standpoint, i wish someone up there would have taken it.

anyway i am off to work and will see you guys and gals later this evening.

Till next time

a better day today =)

Today was a great day. the construction eased up and it only took me 5 mintues to get wher ei needed to go, and i didnt witness a near death experience, and i was able to go through the day without encountering a million stupid people.

i woke up at around 6am, and took my morning routine, yanno, shower, teeth, primp and prep...
i got to "work"early, and got settled in, and prepared for the day. it was my turn to deal with the airforce.

i went till lunch without a major incedent, and was enjoying a wonderful(read, quick and cheap) lunch. after lunch i had to go to the air force base. i got there about 1pm, and was held at the gate till 2 while they tried to figure out why i was there. i then called the people involved(read, 92 LRS commanding officer) and talked to the colonel. i then had to wait for him to call back

needless to say the air force staff sergeant that detained me at the gate will be having a meeting with the colonel within the week. even after he discovered that i was a O-4 in the navy, he still was very disrespectful. i got done with the colonel before the end of the day and returned to the motel there i am now happily watching tv and relaxing. only one moron today. that is definately a change from yesterday.

till tomorrow, maybe i will have more sarcasm and wit for you. but today was pure aggitation.

till then

Stupid Drivers!

i lived in LA and Orange county from 1986 till 2001, and i have never whitnessed as many stupid drivers per capita than here in eastern washington. i watched some stupid guy come on the freeway this afternoon on my wa back to the hotel, he cut across 4 lanes of traffic, got to the fast lane, and then cut back across the same 4 lanes and as he was getting into the exit only lane(which was also the accelleration lane for the previous on ramp) he was sideswiped under the trailer of an 18 wheeler. so after an hour of talking to police officers and waiting in a closed freeway, i finally get back to the hotel, and so my evening commute was hell. before that guy about killed himself, i watched 4 different cars about wreck themselves in a construction zone, and then i watched a construction worker about get nailed by a elderly lady going way too fast in said construction zone.

so i believe i am going to head down to the restaurant and have dinner and a drink or 2 and relax. and get over the daily commute.

till the next time. =)

Tony Stewart pledges ANOTHER million dollars to the Victory Junction Gang Camp in North Carolina.

This weekend marks the 6th year since NASCAR Busch Series driver Adam Petty crashed in turn 3 at New hampshire International Speedway. well a bit late, with all the NASCAR schedule changes. May 12, 2000 first morning practice at NHIS, Adam Petty comes on the track in his #45 Busch car sponsored by Sprint, and o nhis 4th lap crashes hard into the turn 3 wall and dies of injuries sustained, thus kicking off the deadliest year in NASCAR history, before it would all be said and done, Adam, Kenny Irwin Jr, Tony Roper(craftsman truck series driver that died at phoenix) and 7 time winston cup champ Dale Earnhardt, would all given their lives to the sport they loved. well when Adam died at NHIS may 12, 2000 a special thing happened. the Victory Junction Gang Camp was dreamed up, in memory of Adam, the camp provides a place for special needs children to go and be kids for a while, where all their medications and medical needs are met with NO, and i mean NO finantial responsibility to the parents. since the camp opened in 2004, nascar drivers and fans alike have thrown money at Kyle and Patty Petty, to help cover the emense burden that a 27-30 milion dollar a year tab the camp racks up. There are those that say Tony doesnt have a heart. well this goes to show that Tony Stewart is anything but heartless. 2 milion donated since 2004. that is a massive, massive burden to take, even for a guy that makes 7+ million a year. with his owning the eldora speedway, and several cars in different racing series, and a private jet the man is spread about as thin as he can me. to just up and give someone a million dollars with his financial burden it massive. i applaud tony stewart, and would like to ask anyone that may read this, to go to www.victoryjunction.org and take a look around. compared to tony's million, my 100 dollars a year isnt much, but it is something that could help some young boy or girl be "normal" for a week.

there are many good charities that NASCAR backs, all the driver started foundations, they all do their part, but everyone needs to do their part to help these kids to lead as normal of a life as they can. as short as it may be, or as long and prosperous as it may be, we all can do a small part in helping these kids have a life they wouldnt have had if these fine organizations didnt exist.

yes i am a huge nascar fan, and also a tony stewart fan. that is a small reason why something like this made it into a blog about SL. i felt it needed to be addressed. =)

Them Damn Lindens!!!

Oh! the wonders of system maintenance! The grid being down means tthe linden crew actually has to do some work, or they wont get fed!

other than that, i sit here and i wait.

stepping into reality for a few minutes, there is some conflict in the world(like we all didnt already know that). Isreal is retaliating aginst Lebanon for an attack by a terrorist organization. Well, this doesnt bode well for those of us that put the uniform on, even a couple days out of the month. what this could mean is an extended trip back to the midle east for either me or my honey, or even both, providing the US does its normal jump in with both feet and still fail to get it done right(read any armed conflict since vietnam) but no worries mate! as a good friend of mine would say. the likelyhood of us going to either back isreal, or help lebanon(a very important anti-syrian government in the region, and a new "friend to the US") by "bitch slapping" isreal back into reality. now my fiancee's family is mostly jewish(he isnt thank god) and although he is decended from poles, isreal would be an important mission for him. so i know when he would love to go.

me on the other hand would rather the US not get involved and let isreal get bitch slapped by someone else. but if we lose isreal in the region we lose alot of balance out there. like we dont have enough to worry about out there in iraq and afghanistan. anyway now the grid appears to have come up but i cannot log in for some strange reason. *steps down from soap box*

just a test to get my pic for my profile =)

slow saturday afternoon

Well, here it is the first ever post on my first ever blog.

This morning i was sitting at the computer, looking at the silver keyboard in front of me and i had to cry. =( yesterday my 80 dollar microsoft natural ergonomic keyboard 4000(not the 1000, or 2000, or 3000, but the 4000) passed away. at only 3 months old. i spent an hour on the phone with some guy from india trying to troubleshoot why it wasnt working. it got power and all that jazz. but i couldnt type at all. after said hour he agreed that a warranty replacement was the perfect option for me... with one catch. (knew this was coming) no it wasnt going to cost me anything. but the exact model was out of stock. so now i have to wait 2 to 3 weeks for it to come off back order than another 5-7 days to actually touch and fondle my favorite keyboard again (that is unless by some miracle the old one starts working again.) and 2 days ago my wireless router went TU. that was a 60 dollar(US not $L for al you SL'ers out there) solution. couldnt warranty the router for it is/was 2 years old. needless to say i have not had good luck with anything computers this week. i have been scared to touch my work computer because of that fact.

i figure that tonight will be a good night, for now i have several friends in SL online and hanging out at the shelter. pardon the lack of grammer skills. its a saturday and i dont have to make it a perfect deal =) those of you english teachers out there be warned. i dont capitalize every little thing. and may misspell a bit.(also for you typing teachers out there) =P hehe till next time.. keep your stick on the ice =)
