deer car

\ by

the estimate on my car is $2141…thank god for insurance haha. i think they’re replacing both doors (turns out the rear door has a big dent and scratched paint from a hoof possibly, couldn’t see it at the time since it was, you know, dark out) and the front panel, and whatever else may have been wrong underneath. should be finished next wed…which makes me want to rent a car. it’s a pain having to rely on everyone for rides. i feel 16 again hahah. but now gas is $3 a gallon instead of .98 so i feel bad about mooching. like tonight, meeting at the terminal and mike is going to pick me up. but it’s super out of his way considering he has to come back to NT from work, then go back to the terminal, so i feel bad. hey maybe he’ll let me rent his porche for a few days 🙂

but at least it’s not totaled and i don’t need to buy a new car.

also the state police called me and left a message. at first i was like, wtf…i didn’t talk to the state police about hitting the deer, it was city police. and i thought, omg, they don’t believe me that i hit a deer, they must think i hit something else like another car or person since there was no blood or fur on my car….but it turns out he was just calling to renew my gaming license for work. ha.

when are paris hilton, lindsay lohan, and nicole ritchie going to finally go away?

book review:

i finished reading chuck palahniuk’s latest novel “Rant”. i think the tag line is, the oral history of buster “rant” casey. something like that. overall, his best recent work. at the end, i didn’t feel cheated. while it does have some of the “chucky p staples” of story line – self destruction – it is not the main theme of the book and it is different than his other books. the writing style reminded me of “invisible monsters” mostly because the story is told in fragments and jumps around. at the same time it’s very different as there are not really flashbacks as in IM. the story is told through “interviews” with various characters which build the whole story. sometimes you feel quite lost, as it’s sometimes confusing and hard to remember who is talking and what they’re referring to. but in the end it all makes sense, and it does have an unexpected twist. i don’t think it’s a “mind fuck” moment like in IM or “survivor” or even “fight club” if you haven’t seen the movie, but it was still not where i thought things were going. the book jacket summary of the book makes it out to be very different than what it actually is. without ruining anything, the description makes it seem like it’s the story of the worlds most prolific serial killer and well…we’re not really talking about ted bundy, or jeffrey dahmer or anyone like that. toward the end it also is very reminiscent of the world of year zero…not quite as extreme, but hints of government conspiracy etc. so while i wouldn’t name this my favourite, that title still belongs to “invisible monsters”, i’d say it could possibly be 4th…DEFINITELY better than haunted. so for anyone who gave up on CP because of haunted, i’d suggest reading this one. it’s pretty decent.

i’m now reading “memoirs of a geisha”. it was one of the books i got when i went mooch crazy on bookmooch.com

deer car

i take the car in tomorrow afternoon to carruba collision to be fixed. who knows how long i’ll be carless for. my insurance doesn’t cover a rental cuz i didn’t feel like paying the 42$ or whatever dollars extra the coverage was. oh well.

so that means…i’m home…with nothing to do…and no car to go anywhere. so if anyone was feeling extra nice and wanted to visit on my days off and maybe watch the nin london bootleg *ahem*adr2/alex, you know…that’d be cool. may have a meeting at the terminal on thurs at 5 if someone like Mike will pick me up. artists and models Nocterminal is saturday at the building, and apparently we don’t have to staff it. but i already have the day off and want to go so i’m gonna see about a comp list. plus adr2 and i need to give these freaks at the event flyers for our show. but i need a ride hah. DAMN DEER!

damn deer

\ by

so as i said, a deer hit me on my way home from work at 5am today. if only the stupid bus driver hadn’t left when we were all running after the bus i wouldn’t have hit it. grr. i dont know where it came from, because it was in front of one of the chemical factories, with high fences. i didn’t see it until it was about to hit the corner of the car. i didn’t feel it hit either, just got showered in glass from the window exploding. 2 other dealers stopped and stayed with me til the cop wrote up a report and helped get the glass off the seats so i could drive. the cop was younger than me. he joked around if i wanted to find the deer and press charges. i had txted friends, and i was standing near the cop car when adr2 answered, and the cop was like “omg you have that as a ringtone?!” der kommissar hahahah. he said it was ok, since he has “i fought the law and the law won” as one of his hahahaha.

so try sleeping after that. bad bad sleep, so tired. you would think i’d dream about the deer, but instead i had many dreams about serial killers…ted bundy and a nameless one.

econoline!!

tonight was econoline crush at lee’s palace in toronto with heather, joe and mary. it had been too too long, 6 years we figured out, since the last time we saw them play before they “broke up”. so much fun, as their shows always were. trevor is such a great frontman, and he has the most crowd interaction of any band i’ve ever seen. he looked very happy, having a great time. there was a meet and greet after the show, and i think it’s pretty incredible how he remembers us from so long ago, and always treats us really great. he had a little rant during the show, about how bands get screwed by record companies, and managers, and promoters, etc etc etc, and it reminded me of what trent had been talking about recently in australia. it was amusing. trevor also said there’d be a new album in the fall. exciting hehe. on the way home we wondered what it might sound like, hoping it goes back to the more edgy roots of the earlier albums instead of the pop-y sound of “Brand new history”. we’ll see. finally bought the purge cd, it was only 10$ and you can’t find it anywhere. had something to sign at the m&g.

setlist was pretty great. lots of affliction songs, which sounded great. the new guitarist uses a bow on the guitar for “nowhere now”. the songs sounded a bit different compared to how ziggy would play them. and the guitarist looked really familiar – but we decided he reminded us of the original singer from drowning pool, and the singer of smash mouth. one bad thing….the set list was taped to the wall so we saw it as soon as we got there…and the closing song was razorblades and bandaids. YES!!! except, AGAIN, just like the shows 6 years ago, for whatever reason they didn’t play it. grrrrrrrrrrr. i was gonna yell at trevor about it, but then when we were talking he was just too cute, and friendly for me to yell hehe. i’ll have to do it on myspace. right after the show started this kid jumps in front of us…k we were at the front, but there’s no gap for a barrier, there’s just the stage…and it’s tall. so we had stepped back to see better, and he jumps in front of us. whatever. except he was a fucking spaz, totally going nuts. this was not normal “rocking out”…i was seriously defending myself from a black eye or getting teeth knocked out. and had he done it, he would have lost a ball or two. on top of that he smelled…that “havent washed my hair in a month” greasy smell. barf. eventually he left for a beer and we didn’t let him back in front of us. then waiting to talk to trevor, he cuts in front of us… and i yelled YOU CUT IN FRONT OF US DURING THE SHOW AND YOU’RE DOING IT AGAIN WHAT THE FUCK! but he wasn’t paying attention to me. grrr.

dream

i was somewhere on payne ave and noticed this airplane flying really low. and i’m talking like, house level low. it was a southwest airplane, and it was gliding on the air drafts much like hawks do. i figured something must be wrong for it to be flying like that, but i thought it was weird that it hadn’t just crashed. i didn’t know airplanes could glide like that. eventually it did a weird double loop, and then hit the ground – upside down, wheels in the air. for whatever reason there weren’t many spectators around, and it didn’t seem like anyone was in the airplane. i figured i’d take advantage of the opportunity and ran home to get my camera to be the first to photograph the crash. i took a few pictures, and then for whatever reason that was it. suddenly i was really traumatized by the crash, and was crying and i was supposed to go to work but a psychiatrist who went to the scene to help people deal with the tragedy told me he’d call work and tell them i couldn’t come in cuz i witnessed the crash, and to make up the time, i’d go to work with my dad the following day. then it was apparently a holiday, and this house i was at on the same street as the crash was my grandmas. i called my best friend angela (wtf do i dream about her so much?) and she said something about having talked to saddam’s goons about the crash, or having watched them on tv taking responsibility for the crash. so i said well yeah, i got to see it, since it crashed on the street my grandmas house was on. and i was almost crying every time i told someone that i witnessed the crash.

haven’t had a stress airplane crash dream in a long time. wonder the reason for it now…

then i found this hahahah: real life snakes on a plane

i swear to god my landlord cuts the grass every day.

when people complain about “hulk” trent, beefed up, short hair – no longer the skinny angsty long black haired white goth boy….i just think, look at robert smith from the cure. he really needs to give it up. at some point, you have to grow up. trent is over 40 now, do you really expect him to be “the perfect drug” trent at 42? people would be laughing at him the way i look at robert smith and laugh. hahahahahha

my birthday this year falls on my day off. what to do, what to do…

Stanley Cup Trivia. Answers inside!
1. Which team won the Stanley Cup in 1986?
2. Which team won the Stanley Cup in 1996?
3. Which team won the Stanley Cup in 2004?
4. Which team won the Stanley Cup in 2005?
5. Which team lost the Stanley Cup in 2005?
6. Which teams played in the Stanley Cup finals in 2006?

Answer: Who cares????

The truth is it really doesn’t matter. Every young hockey player dreams of winning the Stanley Cup. Yet those who win this trophy have to return it the next season. The only thing that matters to the team that one last year’s cup is the fact that they’re out of the playoffs this year. Fame is fleeting.

Many in the city of Buffalo think our very peace and happiness hinges on whether or not the Sabres win the cup this year. They think that our image and our outlook on life will miraculously change if we were to win a national championship. Most in Buffalo are totally captivated by these games, glued to their television. Yet a Stanley Cup will not save one single soul.

The truth is you do need a Savior – however, it is not found in the Sabres.

From God’s point of view, hockey has become an idol to many people. Idolatry is one of the most serious sins in God’s eyes, and the Bible says that no idolater can enter heaven. (See 1st Corinthians 6:9). The 1st Commandment says, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:3).

Anything you love more than God is an idol. God demands that He come first. Would you rather be at a hockey game than in church? Do you love the Sabres more than God? If yes, then by God’s standards, you are an idolater. It’s called hockey idolatry and it consumes most of Buffalo.

Idolator or not, the Bible says if you break one commandment, you’ve broken them all. God says if you lied, even once in your life, you’d be a liar. Ever stolen? (If yes, you’d be a thief.) Ever used God’s name in vain? (That’s blasphemy.) Ever looked at a person with lust? (Jesus said you committed adultery in your heart.) Had sex outside of marriage? (Then you would be a fornicator.) Been drunk? (That would make you a drunkard.) Ever hated someone? (The Bible says that would make you a murder.)

The bible says, “it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27) What are you going to do on the day of Judgment? Will you be guilty or innocent the day you have to face a holy, perfect God? In other words, Heaven or Hell?

Be honest – you know you’ll be guilty on Judgment day, the day when all of your sins are displayed on God’s “Jumbo-tron” for all the world to see. God gave you a conscience – you know right from wrong. If you are honest, you know God will punish your sin and send you to Hell.

Our lives are like a Game 7, sudden-death overtime. Not only will your life end, it could end at any moment. Only in life, there is no next season.

Telling God you are sorry isn’t enough. And telling him you went to church and got baptized is like saying you’ll save yourself instead. If you could earn Heaven by good words, Jesus didn’t need to die.

The Bible says, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3). You must repent and be willing to turn from your sin, and put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ to save you. Jesus Christ is God in a human jersey. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).

The Bible says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13). Cry out to the Lord Jesus Christ to save you, to set you free from this sin-cursed world, and to give you a new heart that wants to love, obey, and worship Him.

Sabres fans, you don’t choose the devil’s team. But you are born on it. That is why Jesus Christ said, “YE must be born again.” (John 3:7). Please call on him to save you from sin, and from Hell, today before it’s too late.

Thank you,
The End Times Volunteer Fire Co.

you can choose hillary clinton’s campaign song. ninhotline is campaigning for “capital g” LOL i’d like it to be “right here right now”…that’d rock. hehe

recovered memory: i saw a real life neo-nazi in berlin. at the train station. i forgot to mention it at that time, just remembered when i saw something about america getting rid of nazis. he was cute too. too bad. haha.

someone tell me the purpose of dish washer safe plastic cutlery. if you’re going to wash and reuse a fork, why would you use a plastic one instead of a metal one?

after researching and reading reviews all day and checking out camera suggestions i’ve gone with Panasonic DMC-LZ7K (Black) Lumix 7.2 Megapixel Digital Camera w/6x Optical Zoom, 2.5” LCD. i wanted something with a strong zoom, anti shake, video capability, and used SD cards. the price was right too. i have a 1300$ camera, i didn’t want to spend more than 300$ on a 2nd one haha.

continuing with the random: this is why i love jerry…he mailed me a christian propaganda tract which he got when he went to the final sabres party in the plaza last saturday. while it is not a chick tract (I can’t believe i’m linking to chick’s site), it is even more fabulous because it is specifically geared toward the stanley cup, and buffalo hockey fans. omg it is so great. will be scanning soon. hehe.

and wow, speaking of chick tracts…this new one http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1033/1033_01.asp…you will be a terrorist and murderer if your parents told you about santa and the tooth fairy and the easter bunny. you will be on the FBI’s 10 most wanted list, next to osama bin laden, and you will face the death penalty for your heinous crimes. gotta love mr chick.
