Yesterday, we woke up around 8am and got a few things done around the house. Then emilie and I went over to Greg's house (well his parents house). Greg and I scouted around in the woods, and we're quite happy with it all. Lots of places to hide and stuff. We could definitely have made some bases and stuff, but we left it as-is for the moment. So we hung out and waited for some more people to arrive, finally his brother got there and then one of our old high school buddies came. So we did a little 2 on 2. It was definitely a lot of fun. The first game, we basically won pretty quickly. Then second game was a bit longer cause we did it in the woods, and I was up on this big tree that had fallen over and I finally killed Connor.

After game 2 we got some lunch which was awesome. Then we played a couple free for all games which was definitely fun, until I got shot in the neck haha I think there's still a little red mark haha Then another old high school buddy showed up and we got in another couple games before it started thundering and down pouring like crazy!

Today, Emilie and I watched an episode of BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad. I definitely enjoy that anime, kind of funny :) I did take a nap, so there's a possibility of me being up quite late tonight haha but that's okay because I got my hands on every single Dirty Jobs episode, Dinotopia and the most important thing, the Spore Creature Creator!! I am going to have so much fun with that tonight, of course I first need to re-install Mac OS X Leopard Server on the Xserve, then I might do Mobile home directories, but we'll see.

Anyways, I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend, I know it's not over yet, so go have so more fun!!

Well yesterday I had some consulting in the morning, it was for Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, great place, great people. Unfortunately, the guy had some corrupt software so we ended up backing up his data and doing a re-install. Then I went to the Post Office and so many people were wondering about the iMac I was shipping off. They were amazed that there was no big tower and it was all right there in the monitor. I love it. Then I found out you can use your own pictures to make stamps which I thought was really cool. I think I might make some with Nippet, it'd be cool.

Then I called Jaime, one of the shipping guys at Small Dog since we're buds and I asked if I could just ship it through him since he's got access to WorldShip UPS software, so he can pretty much ship anything via UPS, and they're pretty much a drop off point anyways. He was totally cool with it and it saved me from having to drive up to the UPS Store in Stowe AND I was going to be at Small Dog anyways cause I had Daniel put aside some nice Klipsch speakers for me, so it would have worked out great. So after getting some lunch or something, I drove there and when I got there Jaime said I couldn't ship it there, that someone had told him not to allow me too. Now I won't name names, but this person has been kind of a douche bag on more then one occasion when I did work there. I mean seriously...why are you such an asshole, give it a break and stop licking the nut sacks of the CEO and CFO, it's lame. But whatever, I didn't want to get Jaime in trouble, he even agreed with me, so we left it at that. On the bright-side I spent more money with these asshats but I did get a nice pair of speakers and I did get to chat with Daniel and Eric, great people.

Didn't really do much last night, just hung out, I did was The Forbidden Kingdom. I enjoyed most of it, mostly because it was awesome to see Jet Li and Jackie Chan together. I do love them, I love watching Jet Li's stuff, I want to get all of it, and Jackie's. I thought it was cool how they had him doing drunken boxing which was in Legend of Drunken Master hehe

Being that I didn't get to ship what I needed shipped yesterday I took care of it this morning. I ordered the wrong name tapes again haha I got 3" tapes instead of 5" so I re-ordered them again. Craig should be shipping my gun out today or tomorrow, apparently the motor was to high so it was fixed and hopefully it's all good now. I can't wait to get that back.

I finally beat Resident Evil 1...only ~10 years after it came out. AWESOME GAME! I absolutely love the RE series. Star Fox Adventures is next on the list, I hope that's a quick on LOL. My Mom called today, she and Dad are in Ireland having fun. I talked to emilie this evening. I think we're going to go out to dinner at Koto when she returns from PA.

Tomorrow, I plan on working both the horses, hopefully outdoors if it's nice. makkintosshu and I might go out for lunch or something. Him, Keith and I played like 2 hours of COD4 tonight, definitely had a fun time. I am getting really addicted to using that G36c with the grenade launcher attachment. I am now level 46...woohooo!

Hope everyone had a nice day and have a lovely Thursday!

Nintendo 64

One day Jodan Girard-DiCarlo bought a Nintendo 64 and the game Crusin' USA. He didn't know as soon as he touched a button the TV, Nintendo 64 and controller would blow up. When he got it setup...

Yesterday I went up to Underhill back to that guys house and we played some airsoft games. When I got there, which was late, no one was there. We decided to shoot each other with pistols, definitely fun :) That lasted about 15-20 minutes until finally some people came. So we did 2v2 which pretty much sucked but I got a kill so it was okay. Then another guy came so it was 3v2 which definitely sucked too but it was fun...I really only got like 2-3 games in, then it was lunch time and then I left. Met up with emilie at the Richmond park and ride and we drove up to Burlington. She had to hit up Victoria's Secret and I perused the Game Stop store. Nothing interesting though. I can pretty much pirate anything for all the systems I've got and nothing that I would buy has come out yet. So after shopping we got some ice cream, definitely hit the spot. After that we drove home and I went to work at the barn, Emilie came along and hung out. The cat at the barn had some kittens, we're thinking about getting one, but before that happens, we're going to see how much it's going to cost to get the cat fixed...

Didn't really do much on Sunday night, Emilie fell asleep really early, I did wake her up around 9:30pm but she was so tired so I let her sleep. I came in around 10:30 and just passed out next to her.

Work up kinda early this morning...didn't do much. Emilie made us a nice breakfast, and then she basically hit the road. For the next 5 days or so I'll be holding down the fort. I played some Resident Evil this afternoon. I am only 20 pages away from completing the game. I bet I can complete it this week. Really great game! After playing for an hour or so, I headed out to the barn. Got my chores done pretty quickly, and came home. Didn't really do much else, David called me around 5:30 and I took a shower and went to his place. We played some Army of Two, then some Halo 3 and then finished up with Call of Duty 4. He's (rather his parents) got a 60" Sony WEGA TV, and it was definitely really nice playing on there, even with split-screen, I still had ~30 inches to myself :D Hah

Chatted with Emilie tonight via iChat, just watching some Lockup TV show. Kinda lame, but it's the only thing on. I've had enough of Deadliest Catch for the moment. I was watching some show about this scout sniper Marine, it was really good. MSNBC isn't to bad.

I think I'm off to get some food and pass-out in a bit. I hope everyone had a good Memorial Day and remembered those who've died for the freedom of our country. Have a lovely week kids <3

As usual, my excuse for not updating is the fact that I've been super busy. Have been on a bunch of consulting calls, working at the barn, and playing with my new guns.

I finally got my hands on some guns. I got a Tokyo Marui MP5 RAS with a flashlight, aimpoint, vertical grip and a suppressor. It's a bit customized, but not to much. It was used but it seriously looks and works like it's brand new. You can definitely tell the difference between a Tokyo Marui and something else, it shoots really nice, smooth, straight and fast! My second gun is a rifle, I got the MP5 for CQB (close quarter battle), and the rifle is a Classic Army M15A4. I had the guy change stocks to something a little bit more tactile looking, but because we did that I have to have a battery pouch on the stock. Not a big deal, worth the trade-off. I also added a really nice scope, a vertical grip and a flashlight.

I also snagged a Tokyo Marui Glock, which is REALLY NICE. I've only fired it a couple times, because I forgot gas the second time.

Definitely kickass! I also bought a few extra magazines for both the MP5, the rifle and the glock. I am pretty much armed to the teeth and ready to play!

On Sunday (this past Sunday), emilie and I shot the MP5 and the rifle, (not the glock since I forgot the gas). Definitely obliterated the targets which was fun! There's one magazine I got for my MP5 which completey sucks, I think it's a low or medium cap, not cool. It sucks to load too.

On Saturday, we went out with my good friends to the Japanese restaurant (Koto) and had some really good food! Then we went to see this movie the girls picked out called Baby Momma or something. Terrible, don't ever see it. But it was really nice to hang out with my friends. It was actually Keith and his wife. He got me a Gears of War poster, 2 REAL grenades (obviously not live), and a book, er actually 2 books, the first one is the Mac Apple II DOS book, as a joke, and quite funny, and a zombie survival guide book. The zombie book is awesome, I'm only on page 20 or so, but it's kinda freaky in that it really makes everything they talk about sound so real. Definitely a good book, check it out!

So Monday, not much happened, I bought some woodland camo gear. I'm going to order the woodland UTG vest from AirsoftGI probably since the Army/Navy store here doesn't have it in the woodland camo. One of the ladies who works there annoys me, she's so stupid, bad customer service skills. Doesn't appear to want to be helpful ever, which sucks. I'll probably not go there anymore and order my gear from another place.

I've been on the Vermont Airsoft boards, looking to meet new people and hopefully play some with them...also joined the NEASG boards...some guy on there told me the battery I needed for my aimpoint and it was right...very good.

Today, not much else, I finally got ahold of Joe, apparently the $25,000 loan he was supposed to get never came through which sucks a lot. I also talked to my good buddy Cliff who should be back in VT within a month or so, and only for a month which sucks, but he'll be down in Boston which isn't too far, especially if I'm going down there a couple times this summer to play shoot em' up with Greg.

I got my hands on Grand Theft Auto IV and started playing it this morning/afternoon. It's REALLY GOOD. I had a lot of fun with GTAIII, but then it all started to get to be boring and too repetitive, and now it's like I've not played it since maybe when Vice City first came out, and I'm really enjoying it! Awesome game, haven't shot, fought or killed anything yet, but driving around the city is amazing. They really did an awesome job, it looks beautiful! I'm only like 20-30 minutes in, but it's a wonderful game so far!

I've been attempting to hack my PSP, but it's just too much for me right now, they need some really good directions or something cause I don't have time to troubleshoot and sort that crap out. See previous post if you can lend a hand! I wish it was much easier then it is, I have a couple games, I really wanna try out! Driver for Playstation being one of them :)

So anyways, Keith and I are going to see Iron Man on Friday after work, that'll be awesome, we might go shoot my guns if I get my goddamn charger. I should be getting that and some more gear on the 1st of May which is Thursday, HOPEFULLY!

I think I've covered everything, maybe tonight Emilie and I will relax, watch 10,000 BC and eat some popcorn, but first we're making a chocolate mousse pie! It's going to be amazing and yummy.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Been quite busy over the last couple days, had consulting on Monday and Tuesday and I went shopping with my Mom yesterday for my birthday. Unfortunately the Army Navy store is no longer in Burlington which sucks. I ended up getting some steel toe SWAT boots though and a new pair of Carhartts.

Keith aso came over last night, we were supposed to study for the Mac OS X Help Support essentials exam, but he brought over the Cloverfield DVD and we ended up watching all the special features and the movie. I love that movie, I finally saw the "thing" fall into the ocean in the last scene of the movie. I have no idea what it is and no body else does either. It was funny to see one of the special features, when they were filming in NY they had to keep everything under wraps and let nothing about the movie out. Every day they would change the name of the movie so no one had any idea what was going on...but even they, people/extras were taking photos on sets on loading them up on the net and by the time the directors got home, they were already up there on the net, crazy...I think they did such an awesome job on that movie! I've got the DVD now, and I am going to make a really nice rip of it, maybe a pure rip.

He got me an original DOS manual for the Apple II, still in like mint condition...it's probably worth like $5000 on eBay hahah That was just the joke gift though. He got me this kickass Gears of War poster. I'll be hanging it up later today, take some pictures of it :)

So we're probably going to Koto's, my favorite restaurant, this Saturday, which is my birthday! Then we're going out to the movies, that'll be nice. I am sad makkintosshu won't be able to make it probably, but he's got some important family things to deal with, and we'll get together with them another time.

So I've gotten like 2500 Nintendo DS games, lots of Japanese ones, and lots of American ones to. I've really gotten into Professor Layton and the Crazy Village or whatever it's called. I also got Brain Age which I've been wanting for awhile, but I've not tried it out yet.

I've yet to modify my PSP, I just don't have the time to read through the directions and make sure I'm doing everything correctly. It'll be cool though, I've got some good games for it.

Today, nothing much going on, cleaning up the apartment, might go out riding, although it's a bit hot for me, maybe later this afternoon when things cool down. Never got my bike tire changed, so I might get that done today. I've started watching DEA (the Spike TV show), and it's okay. I don't think they've fired one bullet yet, it seems to be drama and it's kinda lame. Even Cops is better haha On DEA they've got all these badass guns, and they don't use them LOL. It's okay though...

I bought myself a Classic Army Armalite M15A4 RIS which looks like this:



I also got a SWAT flashlight mount for it, a vertical grip, 10 extra magazines, a quick loader, a smart charger, 4000 bbs, 2 batteries and a MICH helmet.

I also got some digital camo pants, jacket and a really kickass vest that has a pistol holster, 4-5 pistol magazine slots, 3-4 rifle magazine slots and spots for patches...it pretty much looks like this one but in digital ACU camo.

I've got a pretty good wishlist going on too. I've got the JG Full Metal MP5A5 RAS with a G&P Red/Green Aimpoint Replica, and a MadBull Gemtech "Blackslide" Barrel Extension. Also got a TM High Capa 4.3 pistol, OE TECH Hydration Backpack in ACU camo, the AMP Tactical Green Laser with Mount and also the woodland camo vest I linked to in the previous paragraph...

So hopefully I'll be getting my rifle and stuff in next week sometime and Greg (my best friend from grade school, middle/high school and pretty much for life) and I are going to play with some guys in Massachusetts. They've got like whole courses and things setup to play in. It looks so much fun so I cannot wait for that.

I definitely need to keep working cause my wishlist is like $600 lol...and I wanna get multiple magazines for that TM pistol...I also want to add a G36C to that list, so that's another $250-$300.

Ok, well I got some chores to get done, I'm out! Have a lovely day everyone!

It has come to my attention that a community on Scribbld is causing a lot of issue and I've actually suspended the account (but it's now unsuspended). Basically because we have no ToS people are pretty much free to write about and post about anything they want. Obviously that is a real issue but I've always said from day one, if you have to think twice about the content you're posting then don't post it at all. This continues to hold true and if you're submitting objectionable content, just don't. You'll probably end up getting banned or suspended.

I am not really sure what provokes people to post such mean and hateful content and as mentioned in a support ticket, I will definitely be closing this community in question if I get more complaints from users.

I personally think the community should be allowed to stay open but ONLY members of the community can participate in their little game. I believe that is what I will propose and if that rule is broken (via a user reporting it) I will close the community. I believe that is how I will handle it.

What I don't understand is why can't people just keep to themselves. Choose your friends wisely...

I will be speaking with a few other people today to get their opinions on the issue and from there we will decide on whether or not to keep the community open.

In other news....Keith came over last night and we hung out. I hooked him up with Aperture 2 and Cloverfield. makkintosshu also stopped over to drop off an Ethernet cable. we all hung out and chatted video games. As with every Tuesday night we'll be online playing Call of Duty 4 -- my gamertag is vtequine.

emilie made us a really good dinner last night, Shepards Pie. I loved it. Then we just hung out pretty much for the rest of the night.

I've also been working with Morgan and talking about a new project he's working on. More details to be revealed later :) it'll be neat though.

I finally got an S2 style I like except when I leave the comment page to be the style it looks horrid, I hate how none of the S2 stuff seems to indent or nest the comments. It's lame, but at least I like the layout...

I believe that's all I have to say for right now
