I write, occasionally

For some reason I'm in a rowdy/ranting mood today.

I really think it's funny when people give me crap for listening to the insane clown posse (icp). They get all worked up about a group I listen to? haha, wtf. It's funny because most of the people that diss them have probably heard 3 of their songs, and they were probably songs from 7 years ago. And it's not like I make all the "dissers" listen to it... though maybe I should, ha.

Ok, show me a band that satisfies the following:
-Doesn't want to get played on the radio (and hasn't).
-Doesn't want to get played on Mtv (and hasn't).
-Has over a million fans.
-Has five gold albums.
-Has two platinum.
-Put out 20+ CDs (50+ including singles and mixes).
-Started a record label.

So today after finding out my financial situation is not crappy, I ordered myself a new exhaust... or fartcan if you hate that import exhaust sound.

Anyway, I got a 3" stainless steel turbo back exhaust with a 4" tip from RnR Racing. I can't wait. I'm gonna be so loud, haha. I should go ahead and insulate my trunk now.

Hmmm, the weekend.

Friday, Kari and I saw dodgeball. funny movie. Kevi also finished editing the third nutpunt video, which is sort of a continuation of the characters and ideas of our "I against I" video. Today he got it all converted to flash and uploaded to the site: www.nutpunt.com. Too bad the flash is a little choppier than the actual video (especially the first time you watch it). But, whatev, it's still funny.

Yesterday my parents came to visit for father's day. We hung out for a while, which was nice. Then we met up with Kari's family to eat at Spaghetti Works and then to the Iowa Cubs game. Spaghetti Works wasn't as good as I thought it'd be. Anyway, Kari and I bought our dads matching icubs shirts to wear to the game, …

It's 8:00 AM and today is already good. I checked my mail this morning and had the Iggy Pop & Peaches - Motor Inn vinyl. Felix has this really really good mix on it. Very hard hitting - good club music. I've been looking for the record for a long friggin time. Nobody could order it, no websites had it... apparently it was just a promo or something. But Vinyl Exchange in the UK hooked it up, w00t!

Also I drove next to this decked out RT-10 today on the way to work. Looked sooo good. I pass by someone with a viper about once a week on the way to work. There are way to many rich pricks in this area... and I wish I was one of them, hehe. (I heart cars)

It's also fun to work next to camp dodge. The Army convoys rule. H1s, giant …

Alright so my MAFS went out right? I called several dealerships and junkyards trying to find this part. The prices ranged from $325-$680. And I found another guy that would give me one in trade of a case of beer. Well that guy sucked at communicating, so I sucked at trusting him. I don't know... no options were being presented, which normally doesn't happen to me. So it had to be something else

Yesterday I pull into my apartment and the "super tuner buff" was outside his garage working on one of his cars. I rolled down my window and told him to listen to my car. He's like, "Ah it's missing, check the plugs and wires." This is a drastic difference from the $680 MAFS. Spark plugs are about $8 for 4. So I got them, put them in …

So today has been pretty crappy due to my lame car... but my buddy Tanner just informed me that today (June 13) is the Olsen twins' 18th birthday. Now, even though they're legally dateable and pretty hot. I don't know if I could date them. I mean, the obvious reason being they are famous and I am not. But think about dating an 18 year old when you are almost 23. There is probably a slight maturity difference.

HOWEVER, another friend of mine, Cedric, informed me of this dope rule that was passed along to him. It is the "divide by 2 add 7" rule. See, you take your age, divide it by 2 and add 7 to it. This magic number is the age of the youngest girl you should date and get away with it. So if you're 14, the youngest girl you …

Holy day. This AM I had to wake up early to take my car to the shop to get looked at. It has been idling really weird and cutting out. After talking to a few people I came to the conclusion that it was the Mass Airflow Sensor (MAFS). The shop called at 10 this morning and told me I was right. Then they told me that there were 3 problems.
1. They would have to order it from Mitsubishi/Eagle.
2. The part would take 2 weeks to arrive.
3. The part costs $680.

This is lame news... Jon, my mechanic, said that I should find one online or something and install it myself to save about $600. I agreed and went to pick my car... because it was time to go to the icubs game that Pioneer paid for today, w00t.

When I was leaving the shop …

Oh man, I hate tech and my want/need for it all the time. OQO is releasing their "PDA" this year. It is so dope. Slightly bigger than I'd want it to be, but I could definitely live with it for all that it does. Although, I might have to carry a man-bag... or fanny pack. Good thing the 80s are back, ha, stupid 80s.

But anyway, it is so incredibly sweet. Cost and size are the only issue I have. It will be about $2G and is about 5"x3.5"x1". So it's about as thick as my phone and as tall as my phone, but 3 inches wider. I don't know though... so dope. The fact that it functions as a desktop when on the dock (with full keyboard and monitor) is such a good concept. I wonder if it sync's like a normal PDA... or even if …
