Hmm Should add that I went to the INXS and Simple Minds concert the other night at Jones Beach… Was great although it rained…. We were soaked! It was a lot of fun though and i got to meet some of my girlfriend’s friends for once It seems lately she’s always meeting and hanging out with me and mine

I had this great idea for a potential LARP weapon (That’s Live Action Role Playing for those of you who don’t know)…

Get one of those $20 ($16.99 on Ebay actually..hehe) small crossbows and use a dowel and make a large foam tip for it…..

I thought it was a good plan until I got the crossbow and fired a metal-tipped arrow at the wall….. BAM! Stuck half-way in! Pulling it out the tip fell off, so I shot an all plastic dart..BAM! Same deal! (WHAT THE FUCK!) Yes, The plastic non-tip (a flat plastic dowel) flew just as far into the wall as the steel-pointed dart did…. Maybe if I make the dart really heavy, it’ll be good enough… or get a longer string than is supposed to be on the crossbow… either way, I need to weaken that bow if I’m to use it for gaming!

Clash of the Hondas!

Just saw the aftermath of a nasty accident here on my own street. Seems 2 Hondas, a Civic and an Accord were both flyin’ around the back roads when they met at a devastating end… The Accord, apparently stock must have flown around the corner without looking while the Civic (looking like some real money was sunk into it.. at least for new interior paneling, rims, tires and a coffee can exhaust) blasted down my block. the two hit, corner-to-corner… a foot or two more and it would have been a head-on collision. One guy (the Accord) went to the hospital while the other guy seemed okay, with one of his passengers going to the hospital only because she hit her head….

This reminds me of what happened the other day…..

I was coming home from work when a Mustang 5.0 with two girls in it ahead of me was “showing off” quite a bit….. Now, you all know I have the GTP Grand Prix.. Pontiac’s supercharged beast, so I felt I could keep up. Traffic was pretty heavy, but there was enough room to nudge…. I didn’t go crazy or anything but as the Mustang accelerated, so did I keeping a steady (yet safe) distance between us…. I pulled next to the Mustang and there was a bit of back and forth play…. Just then the mustang let it all loose and jumped in front of me, cutting me off and started to fly down the lane… Only problem was that there was a car in front of me as well…. Slamming on the breaks, I saw smoke come from below the mustang…. I was expecting a loud clang next so I eased onto my breaks and started looking for an alternate route (around the mustang…probably onto the shoulder of the road)…. Fortunately there was enough room as the mustang cut off the car in the center lane (at the last second!) and continued on in the middle lane. I got off at the next exit rather than pursue a potential street race. I’m all for competition, but when your opponent shows that much ignorance and in-attentiveness, you back off. They could wind up killing me, an innocent bystander, or themselves… I do hope they learned an important lesson that time though…

You’re already taking a big risk just driving like that. If you don’t pay attention to everything around you and know when it’s safe to drive “Just a little faster”, then you’re gonna wind up in trouble… or worse….

What do you people use nowadays to get music? Now Audiogalaxy has given in to the corporate dickwads right-of-way!!

Tonight rocked big time! I got tix to see Jackie ‘the Joke Man’ Martling (former costar on The Howard Stern Radio Show) performing live at the Vanderbilt in Plainview, NY. The show was awesome. Jackie had me laughing non-stop the whole time…..

Now, anyone who knows Jackie the Jokeman, knows that at the end of his shows, he plays “Stump the Jokeman”. Basically, you tell him the 1st part to a 2-line joke and if he can’t get it you get a T-Shirt or equivalently lame prize…

I STUMPED THE JOKEMAN!

With my line, “What do you feed a gay horse?” I had Jackie stumped…. At first I thought that he was just leading me on, but when he finally gave up and asked me the answer I nearly got a standing ovation from the entire audience when I shouted out (flamboyantly flailing my hands in the air), “HAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!”
The Jokeman gave me the “I stumped the Jokeman” T-Shirt, the Stump the Jokeman VHS Video and his “F. Jackie” Audio-CD….

Well, I got my first official complaint that I wasn’t updating my livejournal so this post is for you Al… I would have posted sooner, but I really didn’t have anything to say… until now….

MY LEGS ARE KILLING ME! Last week, Tracey and I got bicycles..I went riding for the first time today with Chris… Only 6.5 miles (yes, I got one of those cool trip speedometer/computer thingys for my bike… Bike-Cam to come soon!) but being my first time out riding in months, it was a killer…. I’m suck a wuss right now gimme time… I just have to get out and do it more often!

Got my firewall and web cam working also.. At least sort-of… I was able to get my Video camera to send live images to the web. The next step is to set up an actual web cam to run 24/7 as I had in the past…

Also been playin’ with MAME a lot (That’s the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator)….. I have 444 games so far… Looking for more ROMs…. If you wanna trade roms/sites send me an email. My goal is to get as many games as possible…..
