My new friend Julia from Spain.

K so I often get emails and/or msn contact requests from names I don't quite recognize. But with the contact requests, I don't always know who they are, so I accept it in case it's someone I know but just don't realize it. Most of the time, it's people I don't know but they will strike up a conversation and I will ask them who they are, who they think this is, and then let them know they have the wrong person. Usually that ends the conversations with apologies and the like. However, tonight was not one of those nights. Tonight I made a new friend. Here now, is our conversation in it's entirety. I will play the part of kyzee. Ponty2001 will be played by Julia.

ponty2001: Hi; are u here?

kyzee: hey who is this; or better yet who do you think this is

ponty2001: hehe; I've added to my contact list , but i'm wrong, I think that u're another person; what's ur name?

kyzee: guess

ponty2001: I'dont know; john?; Kyzee?

kyzee: lol no it's not john. that's a bit closer; my name is kyle

ponty2001: kyle; good

kyzee: so i'm guessing i'm really not who your looking for

ponty2001: I'm Julia; i'm spanish; where are u from?

kyzee: canada; hola julia *note* In telling Nat (my roommate) that I was talking to someone from Spain she told me to say "Hola" to Julia.

ponty2001: sabes español?

kyzee: lol oh no. i've seen an episode of Dora the Explorer she speaks spanish sometimes in case you don't know the show. it's for little kids. *note* this is bull. The truth is, at work we are giving out Dora tattoos when customers donate money. They have her saying Hola and Hello.

ponty2001: how old are u?; don't worry, I'm not gay *note* usually that means they are but wait.......

kyzee: wait are you a girl yes/no?

ponty2001: no

kyzee: oh. sorry dude. i guess by your name that you were a girl but that's because julia is a very popular girls name here.

ponty2001: yes but my name is in catalan and we use the accentuation to differenciate the names of boy/girl; Júlia= for girls Julià= for boys; do u want to make an exchange of messenger accounts of girls; it can be good *note* this is a very odd request. VERY ODD!!
ponty2001: annaamatlle@hotmail.com; she speaks english very good; how old are u? *note* I never agreed to exchanging, however he instantly sent me one of his contacts. **note2** Don't worry girls I never sent him your info.

kyzee: um i'd give you some of mine but they'd just be pissed; I've got guests so I should go.

ponty2001: don't worry

kyzee: anywho dude. have a good one. i should get back to my guests.

ponty2001: what are u doing; I don't understand this thing of the guests; are u working now?; oh people in Ur house; i don't understand you too much but if u have to do something, do it; here is 4 am and 35ºC; sleep is impossible with tis hot

kyzee: i would not be able to sleep also; but it's only like 20C here; no wonder your talking to me.

ponty2001: do u smoke joints?

kyzee: no not my thing.

ponty2001: i happen to and ecstasy pill; look this
Began receiving HPIM26381.JPG (10:14:46 PM) **note** for some reason he is now sending me a picture.
ponty2001: This is not the best pict to imagine me; but u're not a girl and it don't take care to me; do u know any girl of 16 to 20 years for me?? **note also very strange**

kyzee: sorry dude. all my friends are around my age.

ponty2001: don't worry; what type of music do u listen?

kyzee: basically anything

Successfully received HPIM26381.JPG (10:20:35 PM) **note*** I don't open the picture right away
ponty2001: techno?; Rave?

kyzee: not so much rave but a little techno

ponty2001: I'm dj; I mix techno and sometimes I make raves;: people in canada make raves? **note** It is at this point I open the picture. My reaction is as follows..

kyzee: ya but they are not as often; i have to leave man. i'll talk to you later

Now don't get the wrong idea but the picture wasn't of a wang or a naked man or whatever else your perverted minds are conjuring. It was your basic headshot. But after analysing the conversation and viewing the pic, I was done with this character. Also shortly after ending the conversation, I got to thinking. A side effect of E is raised body temperature, so I think this guy is probably just flying high and it's probably like 15 degrees. So I decide to check out the temp on the computer. Average temperature in Spain: about 22C So my assumptions were probably right. Anywho. here's the pic of my new friend. If anyone wants to, I'm sure he'd love to hear from you.

Spiderman. Spiderman. Does whatever...this looks awesome!!

Is it sad that a 26 year old man is giddy with anticipation for a movie that isn't coming out for almost a whole year still? Well I don't care what you think I'm jacked. I just saw the recently available teaser trailer for the next installment and so far I think this one is going to dominate the previous two. That and it may even be better than all the other comic book movies combined. If It's not I'll be very surprise. Anywho check the trailer out for yourself and let me know if you agree or disagree. And you best agree!!!


Spider-man 3 trailer

My play date with Aaron Irvine

For all of you who don't know Aaron, we worked together at Blockbuster back in the Sault and now he lives in the GTA (by Canada's Wonderland). So we discuss going to see Nacho Libre one day. That day was today. However, the movie viewing was not all that was on the agenda for today.

We met around 4 at the Colossus Theater to start our day of activities. We went in to check out when the movie started so we knew how much time we had for our activities. Our first stop was at IKEA or as I refer to it, DO IT YOUR DAMN SELF store. All we had to pick up was a pepper grinder, and it seemed quiet easy of a task and it was. However there was a few things we witnessed during our visit. The first being the fatty's eating their gross hot dogs while sitting on display furniture outside. Like I understand its nice out, I also understand that you may not want to eat in your car, but really putting your fat sweaty ass on the display patio furniture is like saying "You broke it, so you must buy it". Cuz really who wants those things after your ass sweat has lacquered the wood? So we are inside the store and not once, not twice, but three times were we totally just cut off by other customers. This only being only a few seconds into the store. But we bit our tongues and continued with our shopping. We found what we were looking for and brought it to our nice teenage cashier. It was here that made us both laugh cuz I understand that IKEA is keen on doing it yourself but the way our transaction went through seemed a little awkward. See, our cashier scanned the grinder, she took aaron's cash but it was the next step she fell short on. After the receipt printed she grabbed the grinder, looked at us oddly and then strangly places the item on another counter right beside the bags. As she starts with the next customer, we look at each other slightly caught off guard on what was just witnessed, grab a bag for ourselves and leave. You see, neither of us quite knew about that stage of checking out but whatever, we laughed about it and carried on.

Our next stop was Dave and Busters. If you've never been to one before it's basically a Chuck E. Cheese for big kids but still the same fun toys. We play a couple of games until we come across a shooting game. Ghost Squad is the name, and your given these big ass machine guns to play with. Oh but that wasn't the only fun to be had with this game. As we were selecting our character I noticed I could change my outfit. I pick something I find quite fun. Aaron noticing my funny character looks for one himself. Our results are of this:

Although you can't get a good idea of the true humour that we experienced the game cinematics looked like if you took this:


and mixed it to each one of these:


This and adding the fact that we shot hostages and our own men and we were rolling. The day continue with us making fun of people, collecting tickets from playing games and oh did I mention making fun of people. After we ran out of "credits" we cashed in our tickets for points in their "prize shop" or Area of Useless Crap That You Don't Really Need But Will Take Because You Can. But prize shop is shorter and doesn't need as much Neon signing. Anywho, while looking at the crap, I mean prizes we notice some Care Bears. Now I can't say I remember Thanks a Lot bear but there it was. What kind of shitty name is that. "Ya, Thanks a lot Bear!" (in the most disgustingly sarcastic voice). So we grab some crap and stand at the check out counter only to have some halfwit retard stand with her back to us. We waited til she was done pickin her nose or thinking about how many boys she will never kiss and she finally scanned our items through. Onto our next stop!

Boston Pizza was our choice for dinner. Yet oddly enough neither of us had pizza. I know, "You went to a pizza place and didn't get pizza?" Yes that's correct. And as Aaron pointed out "I didn't know Boston was known for their pizza" which deterred me from eating pizza from here. As we entered the joint, the hostess asked us if we were over 19. Given the correct answer we were escorted to another section of the restaurant. I'm thinking "There's an adult section to this place?" and I'm totally puzzled as to where she's taking us. It's a more secluded, less family section. That's cool. Sports are playing on TV's, its not busy therefore faster service, it's all good. After our waitress takes our order, we both notice that she totally just eye fucked the shit out of aaron. We were laughing our asses off at what we just witnessed. It was so obviously done, like she wanted to be noticed. She was even bring us our pop refills, just as we were taking our last slurps from the current one. Almost as though she was watching and waiting for her next opportunity to come to our table. As we are enjoying our meals, I couldn't help but notice that some mentally challenged boys are playing pool. That is not the problem. The problem came when they took the basketballs out of the hoop game and one was continuously bouncing his. Now really...? Who's going to ask them to stop? But then the other two join in the festivities and bounce their at different speeds and god just shoot them and let me enjoy my meal. Joe, sorry to rip this from you but. Kudos boys, for irratating the shit outta me during my meal.


It was now onto the movie, but oh shit!!!!! We lost track of time and we missed both of the early shows. Next show was at 10:10, which was about 2 hours away. What the hell are we to do? Bing! Find another theater. So after going to two other theaters we find it and a little theater and it was just about to start. Again we get another dumbass cashier that spills all of her coins all over the place but we are in and life is good. The movie is funny. If you like Napoleon Dynamite you will like this movie. Jack Black is the star of this movie, with a good support cast, played by his eyebrows, his facial expressions and body movement. Also the flick is filled with plenty of good quotes that will be repeated, i'm sure, for many days to come. Some of these said quotes are as follows:
(All quotes to be said in a bad mexican accent)
"Do you remember when everyone was shouting my name, and I used my strength to rip my blouse";
and "I'm not halistening to ju no more; Ju're CRAZAY"
Just to name a couple.
With the closing credits, as did too, our play date, he drove me back to my car where we parted our ways, and left with only fond memories of the day. So Air, to you I say Thank You for my EAGLE POWERS! NAAAAAACHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Anyone up for another round of JACKASS?!

So during my daily round of surfing today, I noticed a very small link. All it said was "Jackass: Number two trailer". So being a relative fan of the show, I check it out. And you guessed it...SEQUEL!!! Now I know this show is moronic and probably makes me much more dumber for watching it but I love to see people hurt themself. Mainly cuz its not me or someone I know. Anywho. If you want to see the trailer here's the link.

Jackass: Number two

Things are HEATING UP at Blockbuster.

I'm standing there. Wiping the sweat off my brow with the sleeve of my shirt. It's 32 degrees. Couldn't ask for nicer weather. Problem is, I'm friggen inside. Worse yet, I'm at friggen work. To top it off, it's only friggen 26 degrees outside. That's right, I'm at Blockbuster and it's an unexaggerated 32 degrees inside the building. Here's a little back story. A few weeks ago our A/C crapped out on us and was repaired a day or so later. So I already experienced one shift of clothes sticking to my slightly moist skin. Temperature weren't too bad that time, only 25/26 degrees. Week later, A/C craps out again, this time it's the whole damn system. I called instantly to get some repair guy there. "Well dispatch someone right away" they say. The day rolls on and I get this phone call at 4, "Um, our guy got caught up at the last job so he won't make it until after hours. That will cost more, so is first thing tomorrow okay?" I said okay, cuz what the hell did I care, my shift was ending and I wasn't in for two days. Anywho, it gets repaired again but not until I roasted during that shift as well. But this time I was a little smarter, opened up the door, set up some fans and had a nice little air flow. Record temp that shift 27. So then came this weekend. Let's count the many crap things about Saturday's shift. 1. World Cup soccer (futball, to true fanatics). This is EXTREMELY popular in the GTA, therefore meaning less customers. 2. Game six of Stanley Cup playoffs. Edmonton is involved. Edmonton is a Canadian team. It's hockey. It's the finals. Therefore, less customers. 3. It's extremely nice outside and it's saturday. If you are not a fan of soccer or hockey then you sure as hell weren't inside watching movies on a night like this one. Therefore, less customers. (If you haven't guessed yet, I'm implying that the store was as dead as Don Johnson's career. That's right! Take that Don Johnson! 4. DVD player wasn't working so therefore, no trailer tape, no movies, no music, no anything. Just silence. 5. The A/C was busted again. This was reason it was 30 degrees in the store. And finally 6. I had the worst case of swack, swalls and swass I have ever experienced in my life. I was walking all bull legged, like I had been ridin' buckin' broncos for hours. Picture this if you may. Rubbing your nut sack over some inverted duct tape, back and forth in a fluid motion. That's how sticky sweaty I was in the crotch region, thus causing my funny walk. Oh and I know you all wanted to know all of that. But I'm getting off topic. Ya so it was warm. Since I closed the store that night, I kept the fans on all night to try and move the air around and possible cool down the store for my Sunday opening shift. I get to work and low and behold it's kinda cool in there. I look at the thermostat, it reads 22 degrees. I'm happy but I know as the day gets warmer, so will the store. So I open up the door to let the cool morning air in to bring the temp down a little more inside. I also kept all the lights off for most of the day . But that soon became pointless cuz as the noon sun rose, so did the temperature. It climbed and climbed and by 2 it was 29 in the store, this is when I start calling head office people cuz I, nor the rest of the staff was going to want to work in this heat again. All I got were voicemails and no return phone calls. By 4 it was 32, our chocolate products were only keeping there shape cuz the packages made it so. But they were clearly mush inside. My shift ended at 5 but I was still making calls to get the situation resolved. Needless to say, I left without getting a response. As I write this it now dons on me, I work tomorrow as well. The A/C will still not be fixed and they are calling for another hot day. Looks like my the sweat glands in my ass are going to get another work out. I can't wait!

Upload pictures? Yes. Upload audio? No.

As I am try to find my footing on this whole blogging thing, I wanted to post a couple of mp3 files. One song in particular for Joe, Joe and Greg. It is a song about blubber, Eskimos, buffonts, and mukluks just to name a few. However, I was unable to do that. One reason being that I couldn't just upload the file like I could a photo. You'd think that it would be just as simple. But no, the only way I found to do such a thing was to post a link to a website that played the song on it. So I managed to find it but it will be posted as a link. So here it is, I hope you guys enjoy.

Words

Oh and here's another song that I think is fun. It's System of a Down singing the Zelda theme song. I also posted it under my profile.

Oh computer problems ****Updated****

K, so I'm using my computer and then "click" my computer shuts down abruptly. I thought maybe it was just a fluke so I try turning it on again. It doesn't even get fully loaded again and it crashes once more. So I check online for some answers and because my computer is slightly over a year old and my warranty is expired, the site won't do anything for me. I have to pay atleast 50 bucks to get some sort of extra coverage. I say screw that. I find a 1-800 number and call. I'm on hold for about ten minutes and then when I get through to someone the guy says that he can't do much unless I want to purchase the extra coverage. Again, I think I'm screwed. But he asks what the problem is. I tell him and he makes a couple of suggestions. Well, needless to say it didn't fix the problem. So I ask a few other people if they have any suggestions. I try a few things and still nothing. So it looks like I might have to get some repairs done to it. Good thing is, is that there is a Mac Store over at the Yorkdale mall (20 min drive) which I believe does some repairs. But oh yeah, that means more money. Yay Hoo!!! I really hope its an easy fix cuz I hate not having my computer. Oh and the possible problem/repairs I think it may be: either a burned out fan, or a faulty power supply. I'm leaning more on the power supply issue only cuz the computer isn't on for very long before it crashes. Any one got any ideas, please forward them on to me. I'll keep you up to date as the story unfolds.

***Update**
So it turns out that it's my Flux Capacitor that's acting up. My computer is trying to go back in time but it can't get up to 88mph to do so, nor did it have the 1.21 jigowatts of power. Okay, so we all know that's not true and I'm a huge loser for even writing that, however, I did find out that my computer was possibly eligible for free repairs. Here's how that happened, as I was looking for answers online, I posted a question on the Apple discussion board. A guy wrote back that I might be eligible for the "iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues". I looked into it. My computer had to be purchases between certain dates, it was. It had to fall between certain serial numbers, it did. It had to show symptoms of Scrambled/distorted or no video, well that wasn't me. Or it had a no power issue. OOOO THAT'S ME!! Those were the requirements, so things were looking good. So this past Tues, I drove to the Yorkdale Mall, and you'd think that the Mall Directory would help finding the store a little easier but since there was construction in the mall, I thought wrong. After 15 twenty minutes of detours (and unable to find another directory) I find the place. So I'm standing and waiting to talk to a techie for a half hour, not a big deal I had no where to go. But people that came in after me were getting served, which didn't make sense since you had to sign up for service on a computer that was there, which I did. Anywho, I get my turn and I tell the guy was is happening and after I mentioned power supply, he basically phased me out. He proceed to open my computer, "Yep, that's it all right" and starts typing into his computer. Another half hour of me just sitting there, him not asking me questions or repairing my computer, just typing on his computer. He then says "We're going to change the logic board too, we have parts in stock for that but not the power supply, so it may take up to a week. Is that okay?" I said sure cuz what am I going to do otherwise, sprinkle fairy dust on it and have it magically work again to save time. Anywho, so he has me sign a work authorization sheet and I'm on my way. The next morning I get a phone call at 9am, "Hey it's Sean from Apple, your computer is ready" I'm thinking a week my ass. So now I have to drive my ass back there less than 24 hours after dropping it off. When I get there I asked if they got some parts in this morning and no one gave me a straight answer, like almost to say they came in right after I left yesterday. Anyways, I'm just in and out this time. I get home and it works. I looked at my receipt, $1196 in parts and labour! That's basically the price of a new system. However, since I qualified for that repair program, it didn't cost me one red cent. So needless to say, I was a happy happy fellow. That's my story. Now bugger off :)

Daily Surf findings 05/06/06

On a daily basis, I stumble across funny and/or cool things. Here are some of my daily findings:

1. If you didn't know already, Hollywood is making a live action version of Transformers. I was and still am very excited to hear that. Rumour has it that Speilberg is executive producing and you know that Speilberg goes all out in all his projects. Also Michael Bay is set to direct and he did Bad Boys, Armeggedon and other movies with intense action sequences. So, you can pretty much count on a big budget, big explosions kind of movie. And it doesn't look like they are being cheap either. Here are a few pics of the cars they plan to use. http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/05/31/new-chevy-camaro-to-star-transformers-movie Now it seems that I may have a couple of complaints already and that being OPTIMUS PRIME IS GOING TO BE A FIRE TRUCK?! WTF?! Cuz finding a transport is that hard?! And Bumblebee is going to be a camaro? If I do recall he was a VW Beetle. So a camaro is close enough I guess?! Anywho....

2. Have you heard the new RHCP song "Dani California"? Did you notice that it sounds a lot like the Tom Petty Song "Last Dance with Mary Jane"? Well this guy did. Don't believe it, check it out. http://www.jared-morris.com/blog/petty.mp3 All I have to say is....Cool!

3. What the hell is this guy thinking? Actually I don't care, I just want to see the video of the failed mess, if and when he attempts this. http://www.uberreview.com/2006/06/worlds-largest-crossbow.htm If he succeeds, all the power to him. If he doesn't, I will be the guy laughing til there are tears.

4. Not that it is much to look at but here are some pics from the new spiderman movie. http://www.filmwad.com/spider-man-3-353-p.html You can't see it very well, but if you look close enough you can see a bit of the black spiderman suit. Can't wait to see more of this movie.

Anywho that's all I've got for now.
