Day 1 HAZWOPER

40 hours in just a couple days. Freak today seemed like a long day but it will be worth it eventually. A lot of employers in the chemical business require the training so someday down the road it will be worth it. A lot of the class is stuff that I am already pretty familiar with. The class is not the most entertaining but what do you expect from a class? Anyways, the picture is not me but it will be me come Saturday afternoon when we gear up to class A: biosuits, SCBAs, and the whole works. Sweet. School starts Monday which I realized im not really ready for but then again I don't think that I have ever been ready for school to start. The freshmen, 18 years old, look like little kids to me. Im 6 years older then them. That must mean that I really am getting old. Anywho.. hopefully come Saturday I will have some sweet pics from my class.

Lab Goggles

So... for chem lab I tricked out my goggles last semester then let somebody borrow them only to never see them again. Needless to say I bought a new pair and am taking suggestions on how to make them unique. I was thinking making them like a pair of shutter shades like Kanye West sports or haveing some message written on them in a special ink that is reveiled with the power of some UV leds or something . Any ideas?

Music

Currently listening to Ben Franklin's Kite by Something Corporate. Im in one of those moods.. chill and reflective.

Summer work

Well Wednesday is my last day working for my college's book printing press. Ive seen hundreds of textbooks pass though our machines this summer. Sad. When I see them they are only worth the paper they are being printed on. As soon as they leave they go up in price by about one hundred dollars. I guess thats just the way it goes. I will be working in the fall in the organic stockroom which im thrilled about. On to bigger and better it seems. Overall it was a good job for the summer. Lots of cool people: the diva, the girl that liked me, the girl I liked but never talked to once, the girl everbody though I should hook up with, the redhead, the 18 year old, the blondie who speaks russian, the valleygirl, the mongolian, the math chick, my cousin, the dancing dude, the girl who got married, our bald boss who was cool, and his boss who had trendy hair that I secretly wish I had. If I forgot anyone then Im sorry but its late and my mind is falling asleep.

Arcade

So dont ask me why but this summer I built myself an arcade. Now you are thinking what the... but I assure you it only adds to my overwhelming coolness. wink* Got the handyman thing going on.. ladies.. Thanks to everybody for the help. I never finished it all the way but school is starting up soon so its been put on hold. Anyways here are some pics for various times in the building. Sorry about the crappy pics but you get the idea. The coin door from a couple pics down accept quarters (just for fun). This sounds wierd but I really dont enjoy playing it as much as I enjoy watching others play it. My dad enjoys it as a jukebox while my sister and brothers like playing some old school games. Overall it took about 300ish dollars and about 3 months of messing around. What I really want to build is an outdoor kitchen. Dont ask me why but just feeling it.
