...Burning Star IV

 bet you all thought i was dead, didn't you?

well, tough shit.

i'm still here, just working, and staying up way too late at nights, only i've not been blogging about it... one would assume that nothing of intrest is happening to me on a daily basis, at least not enough that i need to blog everynight...

but enough of that shit already...

the power went out at work again tonight... you remember about a month ago, where the power was out for damn near 7 hours at work??? well, it's happened again tonight... and i wasn't even supposed to BE THERE!!!! (i'm not sure, but that may have been the case last time too.... lol, anyways, they did the same song and dance about it this time, only they had the power back up in under two hours, which is a drastic improvement... still, no one knows why the power is punking out, at what seems to be regular intervals, at the end of every month... someone mention that it had to do with a fan in the freezer... sounded like a bullshit theory to me, so i tuned it out..

the saddest part about this entire experiance, now for the second time in my career with Sheetz, is that, yet again, they called in a tech-guru from 3 hours away (this time, he got there in 45 minutes, and wanna know just how many laws he broke pulling that off), and all this fucking hoop-la, for what? so the goddamned monkey could flip a switch...that's right, i said it... AND THE MONKEY FLIPS THE SWITCH... i swear, he had the entire store lit-up and back online in uder 3 minutes, and that's including the time it took him to pull into the goddamned parking lot... all he had to do (read: all WE had to do, but weren't ALLOWED to do), was throw the main circiut breaker into the "on" position...

my question is, what the fuck are they paying this guy????

anyways, enough of that shit...

so i'm going to get my ears pierced again... i mean, not much to say about that... that's it, i'm piercing them again... just letting you guys know i guess...

jesus, what the fuck was that shit about???

so COHEED AND CAMBRIA are playing Norfolk on April the 11th!!!!! i'm SO fucking going to that, and hopefully i'll have my Keywork Tattoo by then, or if not, i can get it afterwards, in memory of what i'm sure will be the greatest rock experiance of my life!!!! in other news on the Co/Ca front, i've been learning more of their songs on guitar... it's awesome, because they have such intricate guitar work, that when you hear it, you go "no fucking way can i play that", but when you sit there, and listen to it and tab it out, you realize, it's not that hard at all! but singing the songs WHILE playing the mildly difficult riffs? still working on that one... tonight, i sat here and learned all the rythym parts for "The Suffering"... quite happy with it too...

Enough of that, for now...

i want a Katana... seriously... then, i'm going to train myself in the art of the Blade, in my backyard... i'll prolly even dig out my Gui and practice in it... then, i shall proceed to terrorize the neighbors with my amazing samurai skills... is this strange? but i'm seriously getting at least one that i know of, maybe two... just some cheapy ones that i can practice with... Ryan's selling me one of his, i think it's a Nodachi... looks like a walking stick, but it's got a goddamned katana in it... kick the shit out of those sword canes any day...

Anyways, enough of this shit...

 ... that has nothing to do with anything...

i'm never here anymore, but it's not like i don't have time to blog anymore...

hrmm, the word of the week is "bunk"... i don't know why, it just is... i've been saying it for the past two days in situations where the word itself doesn't even apply... like, never once have i said "bunk" and immediately followed up with "bed", or "mate", or even "-er"...

ha, i bet you had to think about that last one...

guess what? i'm playing more and more NFSU and NFSU2... ha, surprise, fuckers... and of course, i'm trying to beat all of NFSU with a Nissan 240SX... i mean, i've practically beat all of NFSU2 now, with just that car, but the gameplay is set to "easy" and it really presents no challenge, but i guess that because gaming on "easy" at 2 frames per second is challenging enough... but NFSU runs a *little* faster and therefore, i play it on the hardest skill level...

i should have titled this post *post bunk*... that's been my away message scheme for the past few days too...*food bunk* for when i'm eating, *race bunk* for when i'm playing NFSU, just plain *bunk* when i have nothing better to be doing, but i'm not at the computer...

you get the picture...

tBlog is still a very fucked up little slice of 'net... everytime i come here, the page is always "done, but with errors on page"... though i can see no visible errors... and the tBlurt isn't clearing the text box after you send messages now, which is kinda irritating...

i did remove the music video in here myself though... tBlog is not at fault there... i guess i was getting kinda tired of "Welcome Home" but of course, i'm nowhere near tired of Co/Ca.... still going to get my tattoo asap... i just got $150 from my mom for my car payment, and i'll get a check on thursday, maybe give an extra hundred on my car this time... who knows... if i have $80-$100 left over, i might get the tattoo this weekend...

ah, bunk...

here's an idea: try using the word "bunk" as an expletive... like "fuck"... you'd be surprised how funny it can be...

here's a better idea: make up your own fucking word of the week, and stop using mine...

BHC

bunk!

 beh, i need to update.... badly...

i've been playing guitar, and playing with the gun all week...

i had a meeting for work today... that means i got to sit on my ass for 2 hours, and listen to everyone else crack jokes.... and get paid for it...

the gun is fantastic... i named her "Grace"... a paintjob is in store for her at some point, although i'm not quite sure what look to go for... i just know that her name will be on the stock somewhere...

i want to re-vamp the look of my blog... should take awhile for me to figure out everything... but it'll look pretty sweet when i'm done...

i went and read all my archives from the Agent 47 blog a few nights ago... lol, hard to believe that was less than a year ago... speaking of which, next month, i'll have been a member of the blogosphere for one year... not continually for one year, i mean, i took that 3 month hiatus in the fall... but i had my reasons... anyways, i might plan something special, but most likely not... lol

i've been playing Deadly Dozen and Deadly Dozen 2 with all the cheat codes on, playing every mission as a lone sniper (side effect from ordering that gun)... really, just to see how well i can get through the game as a sharpshooter... funny, you'd think that it'd be easy to get 100% headshots when you're invisible, invincible, and have unlimited ammo... but surprisingly enough, in 15 missions, i've only gotten 3 100%... weird...

i wish CO&CA would put out a new video so i could put a it in my blog... i'm not tired of "Welcome Home", just wish i could spice it up for the rest of youse...

heh, youse...

scott made a new post after scrounging through my archives as well... he found an old survey i had posted... and he asked me to reply to it, with different answers than before.... not really hard to do, seeing as my musical tastes have shifted DRASTICALLY... i pretty much despise System of a Down now... Daron malakian is still one of my favorite guitar players, but their last two albums just did it in for me... plus, i discovered the wonder that is Coheed and Cambria, so i knew instantly what band i'd use for the survey... it's just really hard to think of songs that relate to me in the ways the survey asks for... hell, it's hard for me to think of lines from their songs to put at the end of each of my posts now.... if you hadn't noticed i'd been doing that...

like this one...

scream loud scream sayonara oh oh oh
sweet josephine will you follow me home
scream loud scream sayonara oh oh oh
sweet josephine will you fuck me back home

 As promised, my package arrived today, and BOY was i excited!!! i had just woke up too, so that made it even better... god, it was like Xmas all over again!!!

i ripped open the boxes, and wrappings, and paper, and there lay the most beautiful thing i'd laid eyes on in airsoft... the UTG M342A Sniper Rifle system!!! it was in two parts, to be assembled, the stock, and the barrel/firing mechanism, which i threw together as quickly and carefully as i could... full metal, 2'7" barrel assembly, mounted to a 2'5" heavy ABS plastic stock.... it looked amazing!!!

next up was the UTG 4x32 Mil-Dot scope... a real scope, mind you, not a child's plaything... made from heavy-duty aircraft grade aluminium, with flip-up dust covers, and a 3.5" sunshade attachment that just made it look that much more awesome!

Then, the UTG folding metal bipod, with R.I.S. interface, attached to a small R.I.S. rail at the bottom of the front of the stock...

the sniper system now complete, i gently laid it to the ground, and ripped into the bonus package that was shipped along side this finely-crafted piece of sniper bad-assery...

i opened a smaller box, containing a KWC fully licensed version of the Sig Sauer P226... at first glance and feel, i was kind of disappointed... it was extremely light-weight, couldn't have been more than 3/4 of a pound in weight, and the mag capacity was low, but accurate in realism to the real gun, which only contains 12 rounds... my feelings of general discontent were soon assuaged when i fired the little bugger 20ft. down my hallway at a 5" target... yes, i fired the little gun BEFORE the big gun... ALWAYS save the best for last ;)... but this little popgun managed to put 12 rounds dead center in the middle of the 5" circle, in a tight 2.5" group!!!! i was stunned! it could possibly be more accurate than my coveted Desert Eagle!!! i was shocked at how a very cheapy feeling gun could be so accurate, ESP. out of the box!!! the guns need to be broken in slightly after they come straight from the factory... the first 3-5 clips out of your gun are usually never your best... but none the less, i feel i got a great little back up weapon just in case my newest monster alerts the enemy to my presence....

then, i moved on to my beautiful new sniper rifle... the UTG M324A... god, i just love saying that.. it rolls off the tounge... LOL you can tell i've got a huge hard-on for sniper rifles... any idiot with an opposable thumb can operate those inane scatter guns and shottys (just look at what cheney did over the weekend!) but it takes true skill and mastery of self-control and of your weapon to do what snipers do in the field...

anyways....

i must have put at least 5-8 clips through that gun today... it will shoot a coke can almost clear through and through at point blank range (for comparison sake, NONE of my other guns can even put a hole in a coke can at the same range), it leave 1/8-1/4" depressions in drywall from 20-30 feet... it WILL shoot through a cotton t-shirt! (again, at point blank range) and i can successfully engage the telephone pole that's 60 feet out in our front yard... FROM MY BEDROOM!!!! that's at LEAST 70 feet of effective range, and it was a windy day too! the wind was throwing my lighter .20g BBs pretty off, but with a little patience and compensation, i was able to tag that fucker three out of five shots... after i get my hands on some heavier BBs (i'm thinking about going all out and getting .28s!!!) i can then zero the scope in and should be able to shoot consistently and accurately!!!

AND as promised, i have comprised a small photo album which you can view here! i'm telling you, this thing was worth it... i can totally justify spending the money on this, seeing as the money was basically given to me by the state :) hehe, my tax money funds plastic airsoft terrorism :) and believe me, i WILL be terrorizing the neighborhood with this thing :)

i'm all smiles about this! really pleased with my purchase, and come summer, there will be plastic death from afar...

With the worries that I'd give her in they told the worst of me
With my wanting just to hold your neck in my arms and feel me squeeze
No I'm not going to give you what you want so if you please
The sin that shapes your voice carries my ears this new disease

 I fell asleep on the couch after i got home from work tonight while watching the men's downhill skiing on the olympics... kinda surprising, that one could fall asleep while watching other people hurl down a mountain at 70+ mph.... on SKIS...

i busted my first drive off today!!!! HELLS YEAH!!! well, it wasn't me solo, it was a team effort between me, my manager, and the entire DVR system at work, but i let her know like, right after it happened, which saved her from having to go through hours of video footage, AND i had the make, model, and color of the car... if only i'd nabbed the damn plate number... but we had about 30 kids in the store from a local university, "making a scene" as it were, so it was a bit hard to be in thirty places at once... but right after i told the manager, she went straight to the office, and started looking at the footage... she only had to go back about 15 minutes, and once she found it, she called me in there, and the first thing i saw on the screen was the ass-end of a green ford taurus :) with the license plate clear as day! it was pretty awesome... lol i helped fight crime today...

i found two other ppl to come with me to get my first tattoo... scott said he would come along for moral support, even if he didn't have the money to get one himself... but another guy i work with, and a friend of his, said they'd come with me, and we'd prolly spend the day hanging out... thus far, he's the coolest guy i work with, ESP in terms of music... we like pretty much all the same bands, and he's seen most of them in concert... beats the hell out of the kid who listens to Xtian rock, and the rest of the bunch, who mainly listen to rap, country, and shitty oldies...

MY GUN WILL BE HERE TOMORROW!!!! HELLS YEAH!!!! expect a HUGE picture update tomorrow!!! all you 56k punks might wanna get a few beers or something... LOL

speaking of which, i'm having a ZimaXXX hard black cherry right now... call me a pussy, but i really like these things... and i hate cherry... so that has to count for something...

well i guess that's all for now... i'll prolly game it up for awhile, then sleep, and hopefully i'll wake up just in time for the UPS guy to pull up with my delivery from shortys!!!!

BHC

 well, the weather's been... surprisingly enough... as predicted here all day... we've prolly got about 5-6 inches of the white stuff on the ground, and it's still falling... the radar looks like it'll keep coming through tomorrow, and lighten up by nightfall... either way it sucks, because i have to work tomorrow at 2pm... how the fuck i'm going to get there, i haven't decided... i mean, the roads around here are decent i suppose, but my car is covered, and my driveway is still a mess... it'll take at least an hour to clear all that, which means i'll have to get up and get right to shoveling at like... 10am... then shower, change, and leave for work, which at that point, i'm NOT going to want to be doing... bah...

weather permiting, of course, i'll have my package from shorty's on monday... and i've already compiled another list of accessories to go WITH IT... about $120 worth of stuff, and yes Angie, it does include what makes you laugh so damn much :) doubt i'll get any of it really soon though, i really wanna save for my tattoo now!

sometimes i wonder why i still blog here... no one is hardly ever around anymore, the entire site is still just as fucked up as it was when i joined, despite the change... but i guess it's my little slice of turf in the vast landscape that is the internet, so i'll hold on to it for awhile...

i did modify one of my handguns today, prolly out of shear boredom, but i like the results... i ground down the bottom receiver on my HK USP to allow it to accept an R.I.S. Tactical Light  i have... i was going to show you a picture of it, but tBlog is being bitchy at the moment... weird...

so i've just been laying around the house, eating and watching the olympics all day... one thing i've never quite figured out... if the olympics were invented by the ancient romans, and have been around nearly 2000 years...... then why are we only up to twenty??? LOL maybe i missed that day in history class...

well, tomorrow is going to be interesting for sure... don't quite know how i'm gonna make it to work... too bad i don't get snowdays... lol

and she screamed Claudio.... dear Claudio, i wish goddammit, we'll make it if you believe...
