This is what one of my friends posted on our forum. He is 88% Californian while I am only 12% californian... I think there is a good reason too! Take this test and you will soon find out yourself why only californians can score high on this test. What he cannot believe is why all the rest of our friends are scoring so low!
Okay onto the next Test. Coffee!
You are a Black Coffee
At your best, you are: low maintenance, friendly, and adaptable At your worst, you are: cheap and angsty You drink coffee when: you can get your hands on it Your caffeine addiction level: high
Well... alot of my friends at school are coffee drinkers so they took this test. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I GOT BLACK COFFEE! WTF??!! I just drink coffee in the morning at work, I swear! Okay so I did have coffee at the bar in New Mexico and later on that night but I was tired after the long trip! Hmmm I just don't know what to say.
Well it seems that every other week I travel somewhere, this week I went to Santa Fe, New Mexico. I flew in from Atlanta to Albuquerque and my cousin picked me up at the airport. Well not really my cousin.. he was in the car yes but Barry, my Aunts Boyfriend, was the one driving. Barry has only had his license for about six months. I don't know how else to say this other then he is a HORRIBLE DRIVER! So I feared for my life on the way to Santa Fe.
Once we got there we picked up my cousins roommates and went out to a bar. The first bar turned down one of us with a license that expired so we went to the next and next and finally ended up at this bar called the Cow Girl. Well I should have known from the name this bar was probably a gay bar. All the women were in groups and all the men were in groups. Nothing was really noticeable except the women sometimes holding hands but eh I only noticed this at the end when they were closing the bar at like 12:30???!! Who closes a bar that early?
We went home watched some robot chicken and went to bed. Next day we woke up ate, played settlers of Catan, AN AWESOME GAME, and then went to the mountains for a hike. Well I am not in shape I will just say that and probably lagged the whole group. We went a total of around 11 miles up the mountain to the top which over looked the city and more. Was a nice view but I am not sure it was worth killing myself over. Afterwords we had a large dinner with pork chops, mash potatoes, veggies, mashed turnips, some other things I can't remember the name of. After that we were pretty much beat from the hike and all went to bed.
I got up in the morning and got on my flight back to Atlanta. I tell you what I may start to regret having a manual transmission because my legs were killing me so much so that I did not want to shift gears because having to move my left leg to push in the clutch was a chore. Even as a speak my legs are still killing me maybe I should ice them. Next time I go out there I think we might go see an Opera they have this cool Amphitheater out there. Also I am not sure my cousin realized how short of a period I was out there because last time I took off a whole day this time I didn't. Next time hopefully get to do more stuff... well sort of. There isn't all that terribly much to do out there without spending an arm and leg.
I guess I have a boring life.. but I really don't know how to make it more interesting. I do things I have seen things that I know other people never do. Hmm so lets have a life recap...
Young... fell off bed got stitches on the middle of the upper lip (you know between that bridge there)... I don't remember this but it happened! Raced Remote control cars around the Trailer Park (yes I lived in a trailer park) When I was 8 or so Umm first grade age I moved and went to prefirst at Muhlenberg. A house this time. I was in a play that they put on... one of the horses I believe for Cinderella. Oh ya fun fact everyone who goes there misspells Mule... muhl...
Anyway so I have been older then everyone by a year for a long time. I actually did well in those years getting straight A's and later I excelled well in math but not in English. So life goes fast and 5th grade I am part of another play. This time the high School wanted middle schoolers for a play I tried out for slow poke (I think doopy is the Disney's name) Ended up getting Snore (Sleepy). Yay I am not sure if this fits me what do you think? Speaking of Disney I think around this year I went to Disney's big red boat cruise! It was fun. The pool was salty so I didn't swim in it much. Played a lot of capture the flag and other things with the kids programming.
Oh ya back up.. first grade I also became a Tiger Scout!! Yay cub scouts. Okay fast forward again. Sometime in the middle school I got to be in the Boy Scouts. Did some camping! Boy scouts was really really fun! All good times. Nothing was lame about it to be honest got to go to a gun camp. Went hiking in the snow pulling sleds, figuring out clues, tying knots. I was probably introduced to magic about the same time I was introduced to boy scouts. Back when if you lost the game you lost a card! Little did I know you were supposed to pick the card up for grabs or something the rules about that were fishy! Um right so that's middle school.
High school comes around and I wanted to join something to do there. My sister had a friend who joined stage crew and I joined up with her. She never really got into it and didn't do anything but I liked the crowd and stayed with it. Umm ya I am not sure I will talk about some of the things that went on down there! I did lighting my junior and senior year, this is alot of work and I put in long hours. Once in a while I got paid which was cool!
Oh ya speaking of being paid... back in the middle school years I did have a job delivering papers. It started out as my moms which I did most of the work anyway but eventually took over.
Okay back to high school. I did date a couple of people but that was it and high school was just about over I had to rush to become an eagle scout my junior year. Liked physics alot and for awhile debated about going to college for either lighting or Aerospace Engineering (actually I didn't know they had aerospace engineering I thought it was all just space physics or something like that).
Notable things I did while in High School: Catch a guy who shot someone in North Carolina! That story might be for another post if I get requests.
College I went to Embry-Riddle... I like the place but after 4 years there alot of the people have really bad attitudes and it is very hard to lighten up the mood. Imagine a bunch of people who complain about nothing ever going on but don't bother to leave their rooms! If you hate it so much just leave! I join Touch-N-Go my freshman year almost immediately because of stage crew from high school. I had a great time with the group I am not sure if I will continue my service during the fall because alot of people who I liked are gone now. Also I think I should concentrate on my school work my last semester there I did not do as well as I hoped.
Notable things from college: Put on Concerts/Comedians - Sugar Ray, Christopher Titus, Collin Mochery & Brad Sherwood, American Hi-Fi with Bowling for Soup, Carlos Mencia (He was awesome! I never seen his show so it was all new material. However afterwords I realized it was all material from his show. But it was new then so no-one really saw to much of his show)... I think that's it I put on another concert I didn't really watch or take much part in and I forget the name of the group. More notable things: Got an internship with ASA yay! My first real job outside of college jobs and new paper routes and doing things for stage crew! Well it was the most I was ever payed anyway!
So that leads me to where I am now. I hope you enjoyed a short recap of the Life of Carcer! If you have an questions or want me to expand on a certain part I will gladly do so.
I flew to Salt Lake City if you couldn't guess from the title. I went 4-3-0... Some might say this is good considering I won more then I lost but the first four rounds were 1-3-0 so I mean I only one the last 3 because I was playing against crappy players???? BAH anyway before I talk about the rest of salt lake city here goes the round by round fight.
Round 1 Ding... B/W Rack deck. First turn Plaque Rusalka, turn 2 cry of contrition rack. Turn 3 stupor turn 4 rack rack, sac plaque... Umm something like this anyway I am exagerating but not on the triple rack part!!! Holy crap I cannot do anything about that. Game 2 went similar because he had double rack pretty early and then persecute GOT OWNED
Round 2 Aggro deck with counterspells (go figure?) I think it was three colors I OWNED IT.
Round 3 Angelfire- I made HUGE play mistakes both games.. I lose
Round 4 This storm deck that pissed me off! GOT OWNED
Round 5 This woman who was to old for magic. Okay this is probably bad to say but I was nice... OWNED
Round 6 LD deck with a dumb pilot. I thought the deck was good though. OWNED
Round 7 WHY AM I PLAYING??? DRAGONSTORM- Supposedly the best deck in the format. It won game 1 but game 2 it didn't have the power. I own it.
Okay thats it I got 36ths like I said out of like 88 players though most dropped at this point, so that means I was pretty far down he list. 32nd and up got prizes.
Now for the rest of Salt Lake City... Apparently this is a HUGE mormon town and my friends Girl Friend is a huge religious buff going to Messiah (which is where one of my ex-girlfriends went). COME ON the name gives it away I am not saying anything else. Okay right... Mormons... that is apparently a nick name for the religion which they call the Church of Laterday saints... SO THATS WHAT THOSE COMMERCIALS ARE??!!! WOW... I feel dumb. Anyway we went on this tour that is the whole intro to god when I guess they wanted more of a historic background thing. What I did learn was this guy Joe Smith or something like that is their founder of the church in 1820s or something and how he found the Native Americans version of the bible... uuuuhhhhhhh... really?
So then they go on and on about how they believe this book of mormon (which is where they get their nickname from) is the word of god. Well to not get to religious smashing or anything I don't believe that anything written by Human beings are the word of god... not a bit... maybe they have talked with god if you can do that kind of thing and they thought they wrote what he wanted to say but I am sure they all botched up the message when they started a religion to convert people to follow such strict outlines and specifics. Uh so anyway, ya some interesting facts are that they always have a Prophet now! What? how are you sure there is going to be another prophet after the current one?... I think they should use a different name like the Pope! Thought that is almost as bad when you consider how confusing religion can get. Should religion be murky? I think things that are true and holistic should be umm simple and easy.. you know like not murdering people who easy is that! (Yet what is this about Murder is bad but killing people in the name of religion okay? I am confused again!) Well lets go with not killing people is a good thing.
I have gotten off topic, I think, after this tour of the mormons we walked around town got asked by a bunch of bums for money and I tell you what they are more blunt about it then the bums in Philly and they were to well dressed to play the part so I didn't give them any. They just want to take advantage of all the giving mormons. Well take that! Ask me to buy you food I might do it... ask me to give you money err no sorry. Will they ever ask you for food? I doubt it, they are not hungry and they can make enough in a day to eat for a bit I would think. So after fighting all the bums we went to the hotel, ate some food, played some magic. I traded my friend for a wrath of god and got some other things. Everything was fun though I don't think i will ever go to salt lake city again. Way to religious for me and besides the flights getting out are REALLY REALLY difficult. I had to get on the first one and S2 my way onto the Aircraft! Geeze!!!!!!! the first flight of the DAY! 6:00 am!!!!!!! Over all I think the weekend was a bit to expensive for me too! But it was fun and I got to see my friend again.
So another facet of my life is watching Anime. I am not one of those hard core anime watchers but I do watch a couple. Right now I am watching Naruto and sometimes bleach. Anyway, the anime that got me started was on Cartoon Network, Trigun! Woot this show is pretty awesome. Actually I didn't know how awesome it was until I watched them all straight in a row with a storyline and everything! I also watched dragonball Z but I am not sure how much of an anime this is still then more of just a cartoon hehe. Still it was pretty good until it got really repetitive.
So really, I got to college and met my current roommate who got me into playing Go. After playing go for about 6 months he finally got me to watch this Anime about playing Go. I was very skeptical about it because seriously a show about watching people play a board game? This doesn't sound very interesting. I was extremely wrong I guess. It is amazing how good the show actually is and the drama they put into it. You actually never see a whole game or anything like that just the dramatic instances when the characters sweat. What is crazy though is the music that the imploy in the episodes. At the very end of the show they have this ending music that just grips you to go and watch the next episode! Lucky for me the whole series was complete at the time and I just had to go and watch the next one. After that my roommate got me to watch Naruto, however this series is not complete and has ALOT of episodes, it is still going on. Naruto has about 230 episodes by now and is pretty good (Except for the past year when they were doing only side stories, but are now back to the main storyline). Other animes I have watched are Bleach which is pretty good, full metal panic and probably some other random episodes of other animes.
