Last night I watched The Entity (1981) It's about a girl who gets raped by demons. Made me feel almost the same way I did when I saw the Exorcist the 2nd time.

JawnDiablo - 1-19-2010 at 02:46 PM

I just have nothing to say

DaveMoral - 1-19-2010 at 03:52 PM

i have limited access since my PC died.

barc0debaby - 1-19-2010 at 05:21 PM

Started school.

wez138 - 1-19-2010 at 06:53 PM

Been trying to find a good job to no avail
Hanging out with my lady and dog (angry jack russell)
Watching many films
Getting wasted to put my mind off not being able to get a job,because if i did'nt my brain would explode
Listening to a lot of powerpop

My life is that rubbish at the moment the only thing i'm looking forward to is going to a johhny cash covers band.

How depressing is that!!?!!

I have been busy training new clients on their workouts. It's been cool. Training some local police and I have had two cops lose over 10 pounds each in 5 weeks.

Oh, our dog bit our friend's kid this past summer and now they are suing us. Yippee! All State Insurance is stepping up and making the process hard on them. Long story but we told our "friends" that we will help them in any way if they want to make a claim just call me and we'll facilitate everything and we gave them all of our insurance info. They told us they wouldn't do anything then a letter from their attorney showed up at our place unannounced. Mrs. R83 is totally bummed.

I got called by two companies about a new job. A shit ton more money then I'm making now so it is tempting.

Oh, my hockey team sucks this year but we are having fun.

Lastly, getting ready for the arrival of new Baby R83 in June.

So it is a mixed bag around here. We are good though.

^Good to hear CR. Sorry about the so-called friends that are suing you. Douches.

Shit all going on here. Was trying to get into university for a post grad but it's $2,000 per class and I need 6-7 classes to get the post grad certificate. Tried to get government assistance but permanent residence doesn't account for much even though I pay my taxes and contribute.

I decided last night I'd cave & apply for citizenship here so I've filled out some forms today. Once that's done I can get a government loan and pay them back at CPI, no interest, comes right out of my pay once I hit X dollar amount income or I can contribute my own payments any time.

Small business is bugging me, partner has been lazy/busy all break, had big plans to do upgrades, new images, test new hardware etc but hasn't really done any of it over the past month. I rented one server for 3 months which expires next week and we've done nearly nothing to it, wasting $1,000. I need to find someone reliable who is a linux pro and knows xen inside out so they can help out when this dude is being lazy or back in school.

Lots of shit happening. Done with the doctors & specialists now, have couples counselling going on, trying to pay rent & bills every week on a single income, wife starting to look for a casual job to help, trying to save money to move closer to the city in July when our lease is up to cut back commuting costs. lost a HDD as well (just got the replacement yesterday) which had over 700GB of TV shows on it, a lot that we haven't watched yet, my Internet speed at home is 49kbps... network fault that now has an ETA of March, has been going on since August. Can't afford to sign up with a new ISP either. Busy dude :D

I started working three week ago. No internet at work. I bought a HTC Droid Eros and it should be here tomorrow. So I'll be online via my phone.

mattybar - 1-20-2010 at 07:57 AM

Not much going on here. Just been working and drinking it up at the weekends and trying to get back into the swing of working a full week again.
We had a ton of snow in London which basically brings the entire city to a standstill so even though i was at work there was nothing to do and i pretty much read all day.

Got myself a cool 8 track recorder so i can write songs at home and put a beat over them.
Makes it easier writing songs for practice. It's an awesome piece of kit.

Got two new records coming out, Injury Time album is 99.9999% ready.
NineBar album should be complete in a couple of weeks then we begin mixing and try to think of something good for the artwork.
Joined another band (Kartel) on second guitar just before 2009 was through so got some shows with them coming up.
Finally got a new band in the works with members of various London bands. We've yet to actually practice or produce any material. We'll see how that goes before i start hyping it up.

Dave - 1-20-2010 at 09:14 AM

i've just been playing modern warfare 2 and trying not to drink as much, so i can make my belly smaller.....(i know working out would help...but working 7 days a week doesn't get me motivated to do so)

Look for apts. too moving soon so i have been purging some stuff.

wez138 - 1-20-2010 at 09:16 AM

Anyone with an xbox 360 live account add me........wez138.

Thanks Dude. Here's the kicker too, these folks won a multi-million dollar lawsuit after the mom was in a terrible car accident. The poor gal is paralyzed from the chest down. They won in 2006. I just don't get what their motivation is. They might, MIGHT, get $1,000. Our families have been rather tight and they have done a lot of great things for our neighborhood. Just really caught us off guard. Totally off guard.

morgan - 1-20-2010 at 06:49 PM

Started the year with no computer. Now I'm just busy with school and trying (and failing) to straighten out my personal life. Haven't had a whole hell of a lot to say lately.

Nice! Hilarious shit.

ShawnRefuse - 1-21-2010 at 07:02 PM

I have soooooo swamped at work, hardly have any time to come over here and shoot the shit.

wez138 - 1-21-2010 at 10:52 PM

You dont love us anymore.


I feel like a neglected puppy.

tireironsaint - 1-21-2010 at 11:17 PM

As happy as I was to see the back of 2009, 2010 hasn't been treating me any better. I haven't really wanted to dump all of that anywhere so I've just thrown in the occasional comment here or there aside from that one thread bitching about my dental escapades.

wez138 - 1-21-2010 at 11:33 PM

You was not bitching, you was telling the truth.

Dentist's suck donkey cock.
