Well, there will be a few more pictures taken with the crappy camera, my older brother is getting married in a couple of weeks. I'm not allowed in since they're getting married in a temple that won't permit me past the visitor center, but I'll take pictures of the reception. Hopefully, I'll also get to see a couple of friends I haven't seen in eight years while I'm back in CA for that week.

Three rounds, three thousand chips each round. They take your top two round scores and combine them for a grand total. First round, made a few thousand dollars (not enough since a couple people were in the high tens of...), second round was a complete bust, and then came the third round. Ended up with quite an audience towards the end. Most people had already been knocked out, and there was only one other person left standing at my table. My last few hands had consisted of: straight, straight, nothing, nothing, straight, flush, flush, flush. Three straights and three flushes over eight hands, it was nuts. Made myself over twenty thousand chips easily. Final hand came up, and I needed $37,000 to qualify for any prize money. Naturally, I went all in, no choice in the matter. The only thing I needed was a queen high to walk away with at least $2,500 in prize money. Not even a pair, a queen high would have brought me a 1:1 chip payout and a sixth place win. Another flush would have put me in first place and ten grand in winnings.
Closed my eyes and just listened for the yays or awwws to tell me what happened. Had an audience of about seventy or eighty people at that point, and there was this long collective groan in the group. Opened my eyes...eight, ten, jack with the eight a different suit. One card off of a straight and first place win, one card off of a queen high and a sixth place payout win, and one suit off of a first place win as well. No such thing as close enough in cards. The guy at the table with me qualified with his hand, but he had so little to bet it didn't make a difference, he still came up short to place. So, lost a bit at the tables in between rounds, made a lot of it back in roulette, spent that and then some on gas money getting here.
In Houston, went rock climbing at the gym, saw a couple of friends. Dislocated my shoulder on a dino when my chalk bag caught a hold during the jump and yanked my back to the wall, banged my neck on a hold and gave myself a bruise that looks like a hickie. But I made the route the next day, so it was worth it.
Almost died in Mississippi (I think it was Mississippi, I had been through a lot of states that day). A pickup tapped my mirror on the left, reacted by swerving and caused a spinout. He spun in front of me, forcing me to jerk to the right and slam on the breaks. This put me into a series of spins heading to the right of the freeway. There was only a few inches of grass after the road ended before a couple hundred feet or so steep drop. I went into the grass still spinning. My left front tire ended up going over the edge, and the entire car dipped down. Thankfully I still had momentum and I spun backwards until my tire hit the edge and bounced back over. I stopped sideways against the edge facing backwards from my original direction. Looking out, I couldn't even see the lip of the drop, so I climbed out the passenger side. Walked around, and there was not even two inches of grass between me and the edge. Less than two inches between me and death, it was just a little scary. Slowly pulled away from the edge (the pickup had stopped its spin in the middle of the freeway, peeled a u-turn and taken off in a hurry) and turned the car around, found the next place to pull over, and just stopped the car and let myself relax for a few minutes before I felt straight enough to drive again. With five or six spins, there was a lot of time to just hold on to the wheel and think, "Well, so this is how and when I'm going to die. Didn't even make it home and see Laura first, damn." I had actually tried guessing how many spins until my car went over the edge. Too close, and it took way too long for my car to finally stop. Thankfully I had passed the torrential rain area I had been in just a few hours prior, so the road was dry. Otherwise that would have been it for this guy.
And then, I made it home with nothing else happening. Just boring from there on out. Got in, place was empty, so I went to bed.

It was supposed to be a double date between my brother and his ex-girlfriend (though you can't tell they're technically not dating anymore when you see them together, they just need to admit they still have chemistry and give back the title already...yeah they watch me here and may read this, so there's my opinion on the matter), and one of our mutual friends with his date. Well, the friend's date cancelled, so they called me to come in and be his "man date." It was awesome, the weather was nice albeit a bit cold at the end, and we got on all of the rollercoasters plus a scary, jerky, kids coaster, and made it to see the killer whale show, which was made better by having a dolphin performing right along with the whale. Got in that plus an hour of rock climbing in the evening, so a day well spent. Now just eight more days til I leave CA for a poker tournament stop in Vegas before driving back to TN. I want to get in a Yosemite trip, still trying to see if it will be possible.

88!! So I'm only mostly crazy, that's reassuring. I think that I should get an extra point though for the first part since I've also jumped INTO a moving vehicle, not just out of. Maybe a point and a half since I've also failed before at jumping into said moving vehicle and tasted the ground. Ummm, I tag whoever is actually watching me, bwa ha ha.

When ping pong players have to be their own cheerleaders. As, ummm, interesting, as his lengthy dance is after scoring his only point in the game, he still dances several times better than me. Now I'm just upset, can't even do better than the ultimate caucasian ping pong player.

The most disappointing ride of the trip though, by far, was the canoes. I hadn't been on them in something like a decade, so I thought that I'd have a bit of fun, get a bit wet and cool off before the long drive. Never, EVER, go on those things when everyone else in the canoe is either five or middle aged, lazy, and three hundred pounds. We started off with maybe three people rowing. After just a couple of minutes, the canoe starting after us passed us in a blurry streak, and then a couple of minutes after that the next canoe shot past. The girl behind me decided to try and help at that point, so she started using the paddle....backwards, just dousing me in water and ticking off the nearby ducks. I think that it was about that time I started thinking about how fast I could outrace the canoe if I just swam for shore. It's not like we were really moving anywhere.
Finally, we hit the half way point. Here is where the lazy people came in to offer their help. Five or six paddles just ended up dragging in the water, the so-called paddlers deciding that it would help them rest if they just let the paddles float a bit. Well, naturally, the laws of physics kicked in, and we started turning when we should have been going straight. The employee at the back was yelling at them to pick up their paddles, but by that point these guys were taking a nap or something from the hard strain of sitting there and doing nothing, so they didn't even hear him. We just turned and turned until we smacked right into a barrel that was floating in the water as a prop for Tom Sawyer's Island, coming closer than I'd have liked to tipping the whole bloody thing over. I had been considering taking a swim back to shore before, but right there it felt like we came close to making it a requirement.
The moral of this here story, if you go to Disneyland and get in line for the canoes only to see a bunch of little children and morbidly obese men...run, run away as quickly as you can, for you may very well drown and cause the Disney employees to have to shut down the whole area and upset the little children.

It's nice, I don't even need to unpack, since I'm flying out of state for a few days in less than two weeks.

I've only been looking at the big stuff like careers and politics lately, but I really wasn't the same person when ignoring everything else. Picking up my old writings and pictures really brings things back into perspective, really makes the things like politics that was dragging me in seem less important than just writing about me instead of those I'll never meet and things I shouldn't be sweating about.

That said, happy Birthday to me, just turned, ummm, a bit shy of old. Heh, for my 29th (I know it's not old, leave me alone), I went shooting at the gun range, with the family to dinner, and did a bit of rock climbing at the climbing gym. Nothing particularly fancy, nothing really celebratory. The one person I wanted to really see is in Tennessee, so the one thing I really wanted more than anything was too far away to have. Other than that though, it was very relaxing.
My older brother's birthday was on the 2nd (mine was actually February 28), and I'm heading down to Southern California to help him celebrate by riding on some indoor go-kart track with some super fast kart-things. We're also helping him to move, him and his fiance are getting a place together. A little hallway of an apartment, but it's theirs, which is the one and only thing that matters. Well, that and the fact that this cuts his commute from over an hour to about a minute flat.
My eleven year old brother is going, so we expect him to be in the way and I'll take him to Disneyland or something while everyone else finishes packing. Yay for annual passes, going this time will have officially paid for the price of the pass. While I'm not a huge ride and line waiting person, I love people watching, and I can't think of a better place around to watch the crowds go by. Have to make up life stories for all the weird people that walk by.

Alright, I'm compensating for the fact that I'm just getting back into my old ways by typing waaay too much. I'm going to end this here before I turn it into a novel. It feels good to type about myself again instead of debate politics or some such crap, and I hope to keep it up regularly. I'll try to keep it more simple in the future though.

1. Post these rules.
2. Each person must post 8 random facts about them.
3. Tags should write a journal of these facts.
4. At the end of the post, 8 people get tagged and named.
5. Go to their page and tell them their tagged.

So here's mine:

1. I once drew a stick figure, but it was so awful that someone thought it was an elephant.
2. I can't draw (bet you couldn't tell that from the first one), so I picked up photography just to try some form of art that didn't seem impossible.
3. I'm shorter than average, only 5'6", and I prefer it that way.
4. My girlfriend is a redhead! (ok, not really random about ME, but I like to brag about it)
5. I'm working towards an electronics engineering degree.
6. I can pass out from being tickled too much (happened twice...if I ever change color 5 times, better stop because on the 6th one I'm passing out)
7. I hate people that sugar coat, well, anything. Straight talking is always preferred.
8. I love rock climbing and martial arts (mostly danzan ryu jujitsu)

And that covers 8 random things. Ummm, I'm going to cheat and not go to other peoples' pages. Instead, I tag whoever happens to read this. Sorry suckers!

Ok, I admit, part of the $300 was a new mouse. But come on, 2000 dpi and push buttons to adjust the mouse resolution on the fly, mid-gaming or whatever. Compared with the one I had before that had about a second delay before even reacting, it was time for a slight upgrade.

Ehhem, now that that's out of my system, a note. The computer still does not work, and we've identified some definites regarding the problem(s). Let's see...both dvd burners are shot, a minimum of two out of four ram chips are now nothing more than new objects to try microwaving, and cd's can't be read even when plugging in other peoples' drives. So, motherboard may be gone here, not sure yet. And it was such a nice custom home-made computer too, disappointing.

Uber powerful home built system, and I have no idea what's wrong with it, but for some reason I can't get past the start-up. So...thank goodness for laptops. That should do until I can get my pc up and running, this weekend I pull my main hard drives and reinstall windows on a secondary to test. Hopefully though I'll be able to get another picture posted this week, probably on the weekend since I have rock climbing practice and martial arts filling my evenings until Friday.

We return to Houston, and then after a few days it's back to Wyoming for more, with an extra day added into the trip for either hiking or kayaking in the Grand Tetons or Idaho. Before Florida though, I'm thinking of heading to Colorado Bend for a bit of lounging, since Laura leaves a couple of days before me for Florida and my vacation officially starts in less than an hour.
And then of course there's Tennessee probably at the end of July, and then at regular intervals from there...really looking forward to that, plus a possible trip to California as well during the summer. Putting all that together, I'm hoping that during the coming months I'll be able to start posting just a bit more regularly than I have the past year or so.

Anyway, going about 70 miles from camp into town where I'm going to buy a cheap digital (point & shoot; I want an SLR, but they're expensive, and there's only a Walmart to buy from in town anyway). And then its a couple hour drive to the trailhead, and an 8 hour hike from there up the mountain and around the waterfalls, yay!
Don't drop below freezing, don't drop below freezing, don't drop below freezing....

It just seems to me that part of appreciating nature is actually being a part of it. I understand trying to conserve the wild, and not building foreign constructs in protected lands where it would damage the ecosystem, but to ban hiking in the wilderness altogether, not just building but hiking, like some are trying to do, and in all parts of the west coast...ridiculous. California is mostly unpopulated wilderness, we'd be banned from most of that part of the country.
If these judges considering this actually do ban people from Yosemite, I'm going to be crushed. I've never felt so relaxed as when bringing my camera and shooting around the crags and waterfalls.
Ok, done griping now, it just really bugs me that this is being seriously considered.

1. Do you like animals?
Absolutely, I'm more comfortable around most animals than people. I also think they're tasty with barbeque sauce

2. Have you ever met an online friend in person?
Nope, been friends with people who then became online friends, but not the other way around.

3. Are you athletic?
Yeah, but I'm not in as good a shape as I once was. Trying to change that though.

4. Are you: thin, fat, athletically built etc:
Ummm, fit I guess. That's what other people say at least.

5. How much do you weigh?
155-160

6. What's your height?
5'6" (yes I'm short, thank you. But I can camp out in the back of my car and stretch out comfortably, so there)

7. Shoe size?
9, but 9 1/2 or 10 boots

8. Girls- are you tomboyish, girly, normal, etc?


9. Guys- Are you girly, or guyish
Ummm, well I'm a guy, so I'd say I have all the requirements to be guyish. Let's see, I can grow a beard, have hair on my chest, like to throw a football or frisbee. Oh, and pee standing up...yep, definitely guyish

10. How old are you?
26

11. When's your birthday?
February 28

12. Do you like to receive giftart?
Definitely. Shymyst is the only one to ever give me giftart, and I'm completelely satisfied with that. But hey if anyone ever wants to send giftart, I wouldn't say no

13. Are you sociable?
Yeah, more so in an outdoorsy sports-ish setting. Hanging out playing ultimate frisbee is much more fun that going to a rave or getting drunk at a party. Or museums and operas and symphonies work well for my, too

14. Do you have many friends?
Nah, just a few, I don't need tons of friends. 'sides, I try to spend most of my free time with Shymyst n_n'

15. What's your race?
caucasian: English, Scottish, German, and a larger list not worth mentioning.

16. Do you like to talk on the phone?
Not a huge phone person, unless it's with a certain someone

17. Are you single or taken?
Very taken <3

18. Do you eat meat?
Mmmmm, meat...*drools* Raw and bleeding please

19. Are you paranoid?
Paranoid? Probably. But just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there isn't a monster about to eat your face. (tis my tag line somewhere)

20. Do you read a lot?
Every day

21. Do you listen to music, what kind?
As often as possible, and I can't listen to just one type. If I were to listen to the same thing day in and day out, it'd become boring. I rotate through, classic rock, rock, soft rock, celtic, smooth jazz, acid jazz, trip hop and just about everything else besides rap

22. Do you play any instruments?
Used to, but my skills have since passed due to lack of practice, and any useable instrument at home. I've learned piano, saxophone, drums, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, violin, as well as about a dozen other instruments...and currently I can make noise out of the didgeridoo...go me! Unfortunately a bongo that Shymyst bought me and her didg that I play around with are the only two instruments currently at my disposal, so talent has faded away.

23. How long have you been drawing?
Drawing!? Ha ha, that's rich, me draw! The last time I drew a stick figure, someone thought I was drawing an elephant, that's how much I can't draw. Ahhh, thank god for cameras.

24.Whats the meaning of life?
I really don't want to die without jumping out of a few more airplanes and assorted really tall mountains and structures. The meaning of my life is to fall from really hig places with nothing but a bungee cord or parachute to save me. Now there's some deep meaning
And my real meaning is to spend every second I can with the woman I love, and hopefully make both of our lives better for the experiences together.


Tis it, now I tag, ummm, whoever wants it ]]> ~Beckwolf28 http://Beckwolf28.deviantart.com/journal/9642816/ http://Beckwolf28.deviantart.com/journal/9642816/ Tue, 08 Aug 2006 08:07:18 PDT ~Beckwolf28 http://Beckwolf28.deviantart.com/journal/9520646/ http://Beckwolf28.deviantart.com/journal/9520646/ Fri, 28 Jul 2006 08:55:39 PDT ~Beckwolf28 http://Beckwolf28.deviantart.com/journal/9406664/ http://Beckwolf28.deviantart.com/journal/9406664/ Mon, 17 Jul 2006 14:41:00 PDT

Nope, not yet, but I probably will within the next few years. *cough-anthrocon-cough*

I AM growing my hair out, and some seem to think long hair on guys is girly. Outside of that, guyish. I love to play sports, even if I'm not a fan of watching most on tv, and I appreciate the long honored tradition of competing to find the most digusting...everything.

12. Do you like to receive giftart?
Bloody right I do...unfortunately, I can't give in return. My drawing ability is, well, let's just say its lacking in...every possible area

13. Are you sociable?
If you're a friend. Then there are times when I can't get rid of people who aren't. I guess you could say I'm a social person who has more fun at less than overly social events.

14. Do you have many friends?
There's quite a few, but most live nowhere close by, and we've grown slightly apart because of it. I can't find time to chat online all that often.

15. What's your race?
I'm a bloody Scotsman, as well as le Irish, English, German and Welsh, and a few other things that are too small of a percentage to be worth mentioning

16. Do you like to talk on the phone?
Not particularly. If its someone I know well, then sure, but I still prefer live contact.

17. Are you single or taken?
Very much taken, by a hot redhead.

18. Do you eat meat?
Do I eat meat!? Heh, do I ever! I'm human right, one look at the average vegetarian's health and I'm reaching for that steak. Besides, meat taste good *grunt*

19. Are you paranoid?
Yep, always have been, always will be. I'm a confident person by nature, but I also worry. And I always wonder what people are thinking

20. Do you read a lot?
Yep, everything I can get my hands on

21. Do you listen to music, what kind?
As long as I'm not deaf, I'll keep listening to music every day. How can you not? I'm not one of those who always listens to the same thing, I have to have a variety or I'll get bored. Celtic, rock, classic rock, jazz, smooth jazz, acid jazz, trip hop, classical, opera, soft rock, avant garde...

22. Do you play any instruments?
Used to, and I'm ashamed to admit I've lost all my skills. Tried my hand at piano, trumpet, saxophone, guitar, violin, drums and at least a dozen others. I do like messing around on the didgeridoo now, though. I'd love to pick up ALL of those instruments again.
23. How long have you been drawing?
Drawing, me? Umm, nope, sorry. I'll stick to photography

24. Whats the meaning of life?
42

I couldn't want more, my love for my girlfriend Shymyst grows every day, we're very happy together. I have opera tickets for us for Carmen in April, and I'm really excited; we have our own personal box on the front balcony looking down on the stage. Still rock climbing, though admittedly not as often as I should. But I'm also slowly getting back into martial arts again. Years ago, it was my entire life, and I instructed for some time. Now I'm finding the opportunity to train again, and I'm ready to leap back in with both feet. Practicing in those two sports at the same time, I should be back into the shape I want to be in no time.
Well, methinks that's about it. I want to add an entry into my personal journal. I just started writing one for the first time in years, my first entry was two days ago. Lord it feels good to write again, and it's nice to sometimes hold a pen in the hand versus using a keyboard. It just seems more personal writing on paper ]]> ~Beckwolf28 http://Beckwolf28.deviantart.com/journal/7430111/ http://Beckwolf28.deviantart.com/journal/7430111/ Tue, 27 Dec 2005 10:06:30 PST ~Beckwolf28 http://Beckwolf28.deviantart.com/journal/7392510/ http://Beckwolf28.deviantart.com/journal/7392510/ Fri, 23 Dec 2005 13:17:01 PST ~Beckwolf28 http://Beckwolf28.deviantart.com/journal/7361346/ http://Beckwolf28.deviantart.com/journal/7361346/ Tue, 20 Dec 2005 07:25:28 PST ~Beckwolf28 http://Beckwolf28.deviantart.com/journal/7309225/ http://Beckwolf28.deviantart.com/journal/7309225/ Wed, 14 Dec 2005 12:05:08 PST On a different note, a good luck to Shy on the rest of her finals.
