My other car decided it was time to die. It committed suicide while I was driving to circuit city to get a dash kit. The air bags randomly deployed pretty much totaling the car. The good news is that I got this brand spanking new 08 GTI. It’s my favorite car ever! 0-60 in 6.8 seconds and mid 14s in the 1/4 mile. I not saying its the fastest car out there but it sure is a lot of fun to drive.
For some time now I’ve been planning on getting a netbook. I was set on the MSI Wind ever since I had heard about the new intel atom processor. I was hoping to get the netbook in time for my beach house vacation. The Wind sold out in less than an hour so it left me with my second choice (although it was originally my first choice) The Asus Eee PC. I ended up getting the 700 series because I didn’t feel like waiting for a 900 to ship. I called up the local Best Buy and they had one left in stock so I rushed over and snagged it. Right now its running Windows XP Home because I will need it to teather with my dash while on vacation. Once I return I believe I’ll install the Eee flavor of Ubuntu Linux…. Now to figure out how my freakin huge hand will fit on the keyboard.
For years I’ve been ordering these at all of the normal spots and events, why not make it the official drink of OutKastz(.com)? It turns out Arizona (the tea company?) has teamed up with Arnold Palmer himself to produce these things at a very reasonable price (cheaper than the bees in any case.) Me and Gotti were able to raid the local walgreens and get them at an OutKastz(.com) exclusive price of 75 cents each compared to the msrp of $1.00 each. We ended up purchasing the only case they had of them and split them up. The end result:
Well, this was a trip that will always be memorable. For starters, I lost my wallet. Sadly, my wallet contained all my money, drivers license, Mary’s annual pass, valet parking ticket and all of my premier pass stuff. Soo, how do you function in Orlando without any money or a car? Use the contacts you know to better your situation. The end result: 14 express passes, a meal deal wristband, a meal deal souvenir cup, and a found wallet. All free. Roughly $100.00 value. 
Nothing better than free.

I was doing a little snooping around and found the house list for HHN 18

First off I have to post the disclaimer. I’m not one to watch wrestling….at all. I just thought it would be something fun to do. That being said, did I think it was fun? Of course I did. Much better in person.
We arrive at the park (Universal Studios Florida) at about 4:00pm. I realize that I’ve forgotten my Premier Pass in my car all the way back at home. So no valet parking this time. Instead we park in the normal parking garage, no big deal. According to Universal’s website, we were supposed to head over toward the Blue Man Group’s Sharp Aquos Theater and wait in a line. We over hear a man saying something along the line of “maybe we will make it in” it bothered me because we weren’t too far back in the line. So we asked him some questions because he sounded like he knew what was going on. He tells us that there is another line inside the park that’s probably twice as long but that they get to go in first because they are park guests and the people at the Blue Man Group’s line are just stand by. Now I wasn’t too happy… I forgot my pass at home… I took a walk over to guest services where they issued me a temporary pass and an express pass for kicks and giggles and then moved over to the guaranteed line. It was VERY long and VERY eventful with people trying to skip all the time. They had a pretty good method but they were caught. Unfortunately they weren’t dealt with the way that I would have liked them to be but it didn’t matter.
So… 3-4 hours later, its 8:00 and the doors are open. The sound stage only holds about 1000 people. We were somewhat comfortable but still kinda crammed. The lights come on and the pyrotechnics go crazy. The event was under way. I had no clue what was going on but there was a cage match, some gringo killers and then some girl ended up getting her head shaved. It kept me entertained the whole time and I plan on going back to do it again. Unfortunately they were saying that it was the last pay per view match going to held in Florida for the year. However they do their normal Thursday night TNA Impact event there weekly so I’ll still be able to attend later on in the year.
The Universal trip was great. The park was PACKED. However that didn’t stop me from doing the only thing I went there for: The Simpson’s Ride. After waiting well over an hour to ride the ride I must say that it was worth the wait. I won’t go into details but it did feel good going back into the institute of technology (the old back to the future ride is the location of the simpson’s ride)
Heres to looking to the next event!
I purchased an original Nintendo Entertainment System the other day, I must say I missed it. After blowing in the console for a good 30 minutes and plugging in my Super Mario Bros. 3 cartridge it began to work. I couldn’t get enough of it, however I think that I’m going to tear it apart and retro-fit my dvd player inside of it.
I’ll be picking up my new Castlevania arcade cabinet later today. My plans for it are to tear it down and replace its internals with a MAME PC and possibly toss my NES internals inside of it. I may end up adding on a project(s) page to keep records of all of my mods. I’m still deciding if I’m up for documenting it or not.
