Good thing you found this out right away. Lots of people in the engineering program I was a part of in college dropped in the first two years and went to a different school in the university (some went to nursing, some went to education, some went to liberal arts and sciences). Engineering is pretty cool though if you like math and science, a lot. That's basically all you do: applied math and science, and learning how to write technical papers.BigmacK wrote:
I hated the engineering part so bad that I doubt I'll go into a program like that. Evar.
So that'll save my parents big bucks (this was just a taste of the college life. I'm still in high school).
Remember Me As A Time Of Day
I went to Llullaillaco with some mates the other weekend. It's a Pine plantation owned by one of my mates, we just went there to check how the trees were growing and see if we could find something to shoot. I brought along my infamous bunny and goat killing silenced .22, my Dad's .270 and my Air Pistol. The mates with me were Nick, Caleb and Alan, It was Nicks land, Caleb drove us, I supplied the weaponry and Alan supplied the camera, (although Nick took most of the photos.)
Anyway we got there and discovered that yes, the trees were growing. Obviously. Last time I was there they were about three meters tall, they're a bit taller now.
(Left to right Alan, Caleb and me.)
So we continued up the hill, dodging the piles of goat and sheep shit. It was a tough slog too, the thing about pine plantations is that only 1/3rd of the trees actually reach maturity, the rest are cut down, and so these dead trees do seem to slow you down a bit.
We did reach the top eventually and had a rest.
(Caleb in foreground, me in background.)
And had to do a pose with the guns seeing as there was nothing to shoot.
(Alan at back, then Caleb, then me at front. Alan actually fired the gun in this shot thinking the camera would be able to catch something.)
We continued to the top and found a pretty sweet view of a valley. I thought I saw a rabbit so I lined up and Alan took this photo. It wasn't a rabbit though.
Nothing to shoot so we had to pose. I took this one of Alan on a fallen tree. I reckon a couple of belts of ammunition would have made the picture look better, and the jersey on his head really doesn't do him any favours.
We were ambushed on the way down, I had to deliver a volley of suppressing fire, (no I wasn't pretending that Zombies had taken over the world and if anyone tells you that they're lying.)
Anyway, they can't talk, they wanted to be ambushed by Zombies as much as I did.
(The one with the goofy pose and the Pistol is Nick.)
Nick decided he wanted to go the hard way down to try and find Llullaillaco's waterfall, so we found ourselves in this valley which stunk of Goat-piss, falling down cliffs and waterfalls getting scratched to hell and strangled by the undergrowth and it doesn't help when you have a rifle on you back that you're planning not to damage. However it was manageable, this is the "waterfall" that Nick so wanted to find. Fucking pathetic really. Apparently it can get much more impressive when there's actually water falling down the waterfall. At the time it was just a slimy cliff.
So yeah, all in all a good unproductive trip, we found out that the trees do grow when we're not around to watch them, we found that there's goat shit everywhere and we found that it's bloody difficult to find anything to shoot there, (although we did hear a goat,) so we just fired off a few rounds just for the hell of it. The only casualty was my Air Pistol which was in Alan's care - he managed to loose the magazine. Back at Caleb's car I decided that I wanted to shoot the Pistol's empty air canister with the .22, so i did. I have it now, I has a wicked dent in it. I also have the bullet that hit it, it's wasted. Looks cool though.

im hanging out with schwarzelungen tonight.....going to a friends house to partay!
So, today my Father, Brother and I decided to finish our exterior "enhancements" to our house and I thought that this would make for a great activity report. We were outside doing this from 11:30 - 6:30 so I hope you enjoy my activity report.So here are the pictures (All taken on my Pentax Optio M20):
Some cool flower shots:
My new Desktop background, lol:
We started with this side of our house being just grass and I never thought I'd make an activity report on it so unfortunately I don't have any pictures of what it looked like before.
Beginning:
We had to dig down about 2 feet to plant each of those trees/bushes and we (by we I mean myself) had to dig out a trench for those stones to set in.
Thumbs up:
My brother with his wet broom (LOL):
Me being weird; My Dad's in the background on the second one:
Laying down weed blocker (brown tarp):

Man this reminds me i gotta get my camera down there and get some more pics and maybe some vids.
Bmx is the best sport ever!
Today I played these (a lot )
Then I had to play my gamecube
And last but not least, I needed some bf2 in my life
(this last pic is from a while back, cleared up a little....I replaced the blue blanket underneath my headphones with some socks )

Meh, it's the basement. Those are 8 feet up so you can't really see out of it anyway plus the sun never hits that particular window in the right way so it never gets in.usmarine2005 wrote:

Well...If I lived in Camden I'd heed your advice. But I live in Gloucester County (right next to Camden) so I'm pretty safe here. No house in my development has been broken into (that I know of).usmarine2005 wrote:

Thanks though, I'll keep that in mind for later in life.
Yesterday I went to tthe X Games @ Home Depot center in LA.
It was awesome. We waited in line in the street, in the car, surrounded by so many bro's and their hoes that it wasnt funny. We were honking and flipping alot of people off. We even saw a truck with 51" tires run over a Chrysler. Good times.
So anyways, we got to stay in a VIP skyboxm right next to Victoria Beckham. (shes a real arrogant ass tbh). Anyways, events we got to see:
1. Freestyle Eliminations. Fucking sweet. The Destroyer did a fucking sickass lazy-boy backflip.
2. MotoX Racing. That was sweet. It was alot of the big names from the Supercross series (Chad Reed, R.C, David V., etc.). It was a ladder elimination, and it ruled. But as expected, Ricky Carmichael kicked ass and took the gold.
We left as the Freestyle finals began, just to beat traffic. We might go back today to see the Rally car race.

Me last weekend at the local airshow,
I played with my new band at a mini Rock Festival on an Island off the North West coast of Donegal (Rep. Of Ireland) this weekend. 'The Rock On The Rock' as it's known, which takes place on Tory Island, is in its third year now and is growing in popularity every year. Among the many attractions of this surreal and very special island is the fact that there are no police there and hence no closing times for the two pubs! Some of the vehicle number plates simply bear the name of the family that owns the vehicle instead of an actual registration!
