Well today was intersting at least it has been so far. I've spent the last few hours browsing around Ebay looking at old Lego sets. I found one I've always wanted but the problem with it is that its from england and the person only accepts that weird money thing. Thats ok though I'm sure someone eventually is gonna put another one up, Its the launch pad with space shuttle the big orange one. I always wanted that but I never was able to find it anywhere and nobody ever bought it for me when I was younger. Friggin family. I'm supposed to work at 5 today I dont wanna so I think I'll show up late and see if anyone is gonna say anything. I doubt it they dont seem to care there. Hung out with Kristen, Erica, Jean and Blake yesterday. We went to rams horn. I think I figured out why I was in such a weird mood while we were eating. I didnt say anything to anyone about it though because it wasnt really the right place to bring it up. It was the first time I had been there since the whole Jason thing. The last time I was there it was about 3 weeks before he passed away. Fuck that sucks I've been trying to avoid going there because I knew it would happen. Everytime I saw someone walk by and clean the tables or stand around I always thought out of the corner of my eye I saw him standing around, or walking by me. Thats why the hood went up during dinner. I do that sometimes, I block everything out except whats in front of me. Thats my defense, everyone always disses on how I wear hoodies everywhere but thats why so its no suprise anymore. I get quiet, hood goes up end story. Fuck fuck fuck. I hate my job I wanna find someplace quiet away from having to be everyones errand boy, and punching bag. I saw this cool thing last night on discovery channel. It was these people who hold a contest in deleaware where they throw pumpkins. It was called Punkin Chunkin, they could launch them using different methods. Air cannons, catapults, gyroscopic thingys, it was nuts the air cannons totallly hoed everything. The group from Michigan actually won the contest which was pretty sweet, it got launched almost 4000 feet away. I've never seen anything get as much hang time as those pumpkins did. They were about 8-10 lbs depending on what particular method you were using and could be orange or white. It was fucking sweet I wanna find out when the contest is held and go to it next year. Its so hard to explain without actually seeing it but the air cannons fired those bastards out at about 900 mph, thats some serious speed for a pumpkin. On guy showed them a new cannon he was building he did a test fire and it went straight through the side door of an old busted down SUV. It fucking tore a hole big enough to fit a small kid through right through both sides of thing. I've never seen anything that nuts before, another guy test fired one at a tree in the woods it completly shattered the tree it was about 1 1/2 feet thick around the trunk before it hit the thing. When it hit the entier tree just collapsed and splinters went everywhere, what was left of the tree were looked like it had been hit by lightning without the charing. It was awsome, if anyone gets a chance to see the show again tape it, you wont ever see anything that crazy in your life.
good stuff.
