the adventures of pj

just wheels, haven’t swapped cars yet again. I love my mazda. So drive time pulled through. It took them a while and they got my hopes low about what they would give me in the end. But it ended up being better than expected. If you remember my car was out of alignment and they couldn’t do anything about it until the correct wheels were on it. So after a month of waiting and calling back and forth they finally got it taken care of. They had 14 inch wheels on the car. They told me they would get me 16 inch steel wheels because thats would be factory size but in all my searching and theirs there are no 16 inch 5 lug 100 mm 35-40 off set wheels available in steel. So they gave me ICW Racing Taboo with Black Finish and Chrome Accents and Falken ZE-912 tires. I think I like em. Worth the wait I guess. I guy ran a stop sign on my way to work and I hit the brakes and the car stopped shorter than with the old tires. I then had no problem punching it again and tailing him and being an annoying dick with a grin cause of my happy car. I need to get gas now.

Well I don’t know that for sure but last night when I was eating dinner at arby’s I looked for the old pumps that they always had and they were gone so I went to the counter and asked for some arby’s and horsey sauce and she says ok and hands me 10 of each and I was like wow, what happened to the pumps? She said people would go crazy with the sauce so this is better. Then when I was ripping open the packet I was thinking, I wonder whats worse. Needing 3 of these for the curly fries or one pump from the old way. Not hard to figure out. But I’m gonna die before there is too much trash and once space travel becomes normal why can’t we just launch our trash into space? Some other aliens find it think hmm, its what humans do. We should go back to having sex too instead of cloning.

On another note Drive Time finally has my mazda and is getting 16 inch wheels and 195/50/16 tires for it instead of the 14’s with crappy cheapo tires that were on it before. I looked around and it’s pretty hard to find crappy tires in 195/50/16 so thats good Last night I spend so much time spinning the tires cause those bastards are gone today, it was nice but I don’t think 40 in first gear at a stop sign is good for the engine so I stopped doing that much, but it was only at 6,000 rpm’s. Go mazda.

Finally, cherrypal, the 2 watt green pc, went public. They have a real website and everything. Go there, read up. I can’t wait to get mine. I don’t remember the last time I waited for something. I’ve always just thought neat and went and got it.

I know it’s been a while. I’ve had a lot going on so I’m just going to throw it all out there in no order or rational point. Kinda like family guy. A lot of my co-workers have never seen some very good movies. Network, Midnight Cowboy, City Hunter, 2001, War Games, The Big Lebowski or any of the Beverly Hills Cop series! Come on! Rolling Rock rules. I like that new game shop I found. I’m moving soon. My Samsung F700v still has more useful features than the new iPhone 3G, which my company is buying me in the next week. I reached level 40 on wow and have a thing I can ride now. Drive Time is getting me the right size wheels by the end of the week. 16 inch black steel wheels. 195/50/16 tires too. Driving should be even more fun. I got mad at traffic going home today and punched it i downtown and treated it like a game of burnout for about 10 blocks. Cait brought her laptop over for me to reload and her boyfriend too, I miss the time when my left testicle was spun and I felt like dying. I’m converting all my movies and tv shows over to work with itunes so I can use front row instead of xbox media center. The hard drive in my xbox is dying. My friend stewart is getting married to a dumb hoe that can’t even work. Smart move man! My electric bill was $64 this month. I loaded os X 10.6 on my mini and it seems to be stable. I also loaded os X 10.6 on my macbook and it seems to hate adobe stuff. Look up some music from Saint Germain. I like sitting in my green chair. Stoners are annoying and god I hate drama. Last thing. I got accepted as a Cherry Pal Brand Angel so that means I get to get my hands on a Cherry Pal system and mess with it, push its limits and see what works on it, tell my friends, tell strangers. I’m gonna go curl up and cry. Why did she bring her boyfriend?

This is just sad. I know a girl who’s kitty died yesterday, now that being said. I understand her missing the kitty and feeling bad. But what I don’t get is why someone would make a long bulletin of a good by letter to their cat saying how much you mean to them and you’ll miss them.
A- even if it was a person they would never read it. Do the honorable thing and go to where you buried the kitty and talk or leave a note.
B- dead creatures cant read. Let alone get on the internet. Or to your myspace bulletin because you never added them.
C- Stop being sooo detached from the rest of the world that you need to talk to myspacers about your kitty. Friends should be a phone call away, not who will read my page and message me feeling sorrie for attention whore.

This is bull shit. Social networking sites have ruined society.

So I went to a game shop last night and got a few games. I picked up Samurai Showdown for SNES which is so fun, old school fighting game. I think I might go back once a week and pick up a game for snes. I love that old system. I plan on getting a new snes and putting it in the living room. Also, I bought WipeOut XL for PSX. It’s soo fun. Full of redbull ads and the sound track is just awesome..

No update from drive time. How ever when I got out to the place to get my car back on friday he told me about the problem in more detail. If I don’t get the right wheels it will cause some other problems down the line for the suspension and front end. Neat. Warranty. So then I get in and start driving home and I’m thinking man I haven’t heard this song in for ever. Wait a second. It was a cd I tossed in the back seat a week earlier. They took out my MC Chris disc and put it in the passenger seat and put in my Galactic disc and were up to track 3 so not too bad. I dunno why but I just laughed about it. I told some other friends and they were mad about it. I feel like screw it, nothing is missing, nothing is broken. The other cd was out in the open.
Friday night people came over and watched the new futurama movie and my god it was funny. We played more GTA.4 and some WoW.
Saturday night people came over and set off a few fireworks and played age of conan for a while and were nerdy. There is a line that must be drawn between being a nerd and just never shutting up about computers. There is more to do than spending 4 hours talking about computer crap. It’s called a job. Even on the weekends people work. God I know. Which reminds me. Never get a credit card from credit one bank. Last month I forgot to pay my card and there was a balance of $2. Now with out making any purchases there is a balance of $65, apparently they charge a $29 service fee for attempting to collect and a $29 service fee for being late. Plus other service fees for processing the fee. But here’s the best part. On friday they started calling me. Not between 9am and 5 pm, no, from 6:30 till 11, then starting at 7am on saturday till 11pm on sunday I had 15 calls from them. Now what I bet really chaps their ass is my way neat Samsung F700v has the ability to auto reject, but whats a step better is it just drops the call instead of sending it to voice mail. This morning they have called me 2 times. I made the minimum payment saturday so I can have money for gas and food and hotdogs from gate gas station. I’ll be canceling my card next pay day when I pay it off. The rest of the weekend was uneventful, relaxing, loafing around watching tv, eating junk food, working on a system to play old dos games. I need a sound blaster sound card.
Now monday, that was fun. AC in the server room died. Ceiling was leaking in an office before it started raining. Another office started leaking after the rain. On the first floor there was a leak in the phone room. The no one wanted to go 2 miles down the road to pickup more paper for the printer so instead stood around for 3 hours and bitched about it. And to top it off the phone system was being a dick. Hooray.

So I took the mazda to a place to get worked on today. Minor alignment thing. First off I’ve always thought it was funny that my car has 14 inch wheels. It should have 16 inch. So the guy at the shop said he can’t do anything until the right wheels are on there. I wanted more info. He tells me it has the wrong wheels and tires for those wheels. I said oh great. So what do we do? He said he’s contacted drive time and I should do the same if I want more info. So I called them, first off the woman didn’t get why they are the wrong size if they fit. I tried my best but gave up and just said they keep the car moving, they are kinda important. Pretend you’re wearing a shoe thats the wrong size, you can still walk with it but it’s not going to end well if you keep doing it. She kinda got it. So their solution is to get the oem wheels and tires on the car. Nice response. Monday someone should be calling me to review the case and give me more info then. Since it’s something important they should take care of me. I called mazda city and they were totally helpful about stuff. Apparently oem wheels are $275 each from the dealer and tires are at least $100 also. So from a 3rd party they should be around $125 and $85 from the prices I’ve found. I’d like to see if I can get an allowance to get my own wheels cause I don’t really want silver wheels on a yellow car.

So cherry pal is having a “Declare Your Independence Party” on the 3rd of july. I wish I could go. Meet more nerds. Free food and stuff. I mostly want to go to see the new systems. I don’t wanna wait! The closer the day comes the more I stop wanting to use my macbook and I haven’t even turned on my powerbook G4 in a month or 2. All I can think about as, I play games and look up cheat codes for GTA.4 or passwords for pilot wings, is how hot the bottom is and much energy is being wasted. Gah.
