| Yep, I knew there woudl be hassle. |
[Oct. 21st, 2009|09:58 am] |
After the body shop pulled my bumper off they found about $1,200 more in damages.
They towing company is now refusing to pay for anything.
I'm going to go file in small claims court today.
I'll be looking for $2,200 to fix my car back to how it was before it was towed.
$410 a week for ever week my car isn't fixed(the cost of a comparable rental car from Enterprise.) in punitive damages.
The $1,300 in value loss since my car has a Carfax record for collision damage and repair(according to the Kelly Blue Book difference in an "Excellent" ratting compared to "Good" rating).
$100 tow fee refund.
The towing company is still claiming no insurance on its feet of vehicles to pay for this so I will also ask that they are criminally charged with that offense.
I'm becoming very annoyed with this. |

My test for getting into Pararescue Jumper Indoc after basic is Tuesday.
I just ran a 10:16 mile and a half. Got max score on the flutter kicks, pull ups, and sit ups, and 26 out of 30 points on the push ups.
That leaves me with needing a 15:20 in the 500 meter swim.
I'm really nervous, I would love not to have to retest. |

Not having the internet at my house is putting a cramp on my "onlineness".
Wedding has been moved to Dec. 31'st so I will be married before boot camp. The Air Force offered me way more to join them assuming I can pass the PAST for Pararescue Jumpers. So I've spent the last 2 weeks trying to convince my body it enjoys working out. My test is the last week in November.

I'm a bit concerned about the swim because I've never swam that far and have no idea how long I will do it in. I'm working on getting a membership to the YMCA this month to start working on it.
I can already pass the other events. I've got to sign up for 6 years to receive the bonus, but I was planning on this being a career anyway, so I'm not too worried about it. I'm really looking forward to the training. I'll be leaving for Boot Camp in Feb and then start "The Extended Training Day" immediately after. It's 10 weeks of them trying to make you quit. If I make it through that I become a PJ apprentice and start the real training. It takes about 2 years to become a PJ after that.
Lose my car next Tuesday, I'm doing a voluntary repossession. I can't afford to keep it anymore. I'll be responsible for the difference between what they sell it for and what I owe, but it keeps my credit from being completely destroyed.
I went to Oxford this weekend and my car got towed from a super bullshit reason. The towing company did $1,222.65 in damage to it. They acted kind of like cocks about it and tried to deny that they did it, but after putting my foot down about it they were quick to pay the body shop. I expected way more of a hassle so I'm happy about that. It goes in Thursday for a new front end. They about died when they found out how much it was going to be. He thought he was going to get off with it being a few hundred dollars, lol.
I had a great time seeing Robert, Christine, and Shandi again. But Oxford just isn't the same. Getting blasted, scrounging for a place to sleep, losing my car, sleeping on a couch and not having a place to brush my teeth the next morning isn't fun anymore. I think it was fun when I was 20, but not now. I'm getting old.
Other than that everything is going well. Love my fiance, can't wait to get married. Can't wait to leave for Boot Camp and start that. After Boot Camp we are going to get Tam moved to New Mexico where I will be doing the majority of my training after The Extended Training Day and SERE Indoctrination. It will take me 6 months are so to get there, but that way she can get Phoenix in school and she can find a job and get set up. I want to minimize how much bouncing around I put them through. |

http://www.comicvine.com/news/todd-mcfarlanes-twisted-land-of-oz-the-movie/139270/
I'm way to excited about this.
There has been talk of Warner Bros. wanting to do a "dark" version of The Wizard Of Oz (simply called "Oz"). Last week there has been mention that Warners might be looking at Todd McFarlane's "Twisted Land Of Oz" line of action figures as the inspiration for the movie. The movie will be produced by McFarlane and Basil Iwanyk.
Empire Online recently spoke with McFarlane to try to clear up some of the reports. There's no confirmation that the movie will actually begin production next year. The script is on its second draft (apparently the first wasn't "sexy" enough). The first draft had the story centered around Dorothy's granddaughter. McFarlane's not sure if that element will remain. Reports have stated that the movie will film in Britain but McFarlane said it really depends on the budget and how much confidence the studio has in the project. McFarlane hadn't heard the rumors of Dakota Fanning as Dorothy. Looking at her action figure to the left, that doesn't look like a good fit. McFarlane said he'd be happy with "whoever will get the most people in the seats." Will it be as "twisted" as his line of figures? McFarlane thinks his line might be "a little scary for Warners to embrace."

| Great night of fights |

And I'm hung over as fuck and at work.
Bet I still feel better than Maia. He got knocked into next week.

| All kinds of updates |
[Aug. 23rd, 2009|01:16 pm] |
First, I guess is the big one. I asked Tam to marry me and she said yes! :)
Here is a cell phone pic I took of it, we are getting it re-sized right now, should be back Tuesday.
The date is tentatively set for May 1st 2010. If you read this you're invited.
We finished up the pipeline last week. I'm fairly excited. I'll obviously miss the paycheck but not so much the job. I'm about to turn my packet in for Coast Guard OCS. I FINALLY got everything together. Since there is only a 17% acceptance rate I'm a bit worried about getting in. There are lower requirements if you come out of the enlisted ranks though. So if I don't get in I will enlist and try again next year after I have some experience in the CG. According to my recruiter most officers start enlisted.
Until that kicks off I'm working part time at Red Square Clothing Co. www.redsquareclothingco.com . I was doing some design work and maintaining their email database and sending out email advertisements for them. One of their employees quit so I stepped in.
It's a fun job since I have things like A/C, a toilet, no bugs, and no mud. It will be difficult not to buy clothes all the time now that I work here.
I'm hoping to have to time to start training again with Team Outlaw down in Brookhaven. It would be nice to get in shape again.
I wish I could have gotten a vacation this summer. I've failed at getting to go one one the last 3 years. |

| My fight from this weekend |
[Aug. 3rd, 2009|08:29 am] |
So a friend of mine has fought in The Elite XC, the IFL, been on TUF and his next fight should be in the UFC in Dec called and asked me a personal favor. He was having trouble finding a fight and needed someone to fight him 2 weeks out. Sure, why not? How bad could it hurt?
This is how bad it hurt.

| It's like a vacation |
[Jul. 29th, 2009|02:14 pm] |
I've had 2 days off in a row because of the weather, might have tomorrow off too. I've gotten tons done at the house(cutting up a downed tree, grass, etc..) that I don't even feel like I've been off work, lol. From now until I go to sleep I'm doing nothing productive. Just going to fuck off on the interwebz and play some xbox.
I've got my fight Sat in Tunica at Sam's Town. I'm not at all in shape for it but my purse is large enough to pay off my last bill in collections(my emergency room bill from when I broke my hand last year). Then I can turn my Coast Guard application in Aug 3rd. |

Between the Sims 3 and needing to use photoshop and dreamweaver to do some side work I just ordered 4 gigs. I just have misses when ram got cheap, it was only $63. I would have gottten it way sooner if I had known that.
I still feel hung over. My liver was out of practice.

| Screw you Lesner |
[Jul. 12th, 2009|12:40 pm] |
I still maintain that if Lesner was 240lbs he wouldn't even be in title contention.
That being said he man handled Mir with his 30+lbs weight advantage. Then acted like a giant cock, flipped the fans off, insulted the biggest UFC sponsor, then said he was going to go fuck his wife. Classy champion.
GSP is a freak of nature and Dan Henderson has the sickest knock out in history over Bisping.
Stayed out until 3:30 or so, got smashed. Good times all around. Mom brought Phoenix back over at 9. OMG. Nazis and Jews mix better than hang overs and 2 year olds. |

| Out here grindin |
[Jul. 11th, 2009|06:28 am] |
Im gonna win $120 tonight when Mir breaks Lesner. Mir looked better at the weigh ins then Ive ever seen him. Im so excited about tonight.
I was supposed to go to Hattisburg and watch it with Rob and Karen but we lost our baby sitter and a huge tree fell in my yard I have to deal with sunday. Yay being responsible.

Kyle Manyard completed a 2 year journey last night to have his first MMA fight. He doesn't have arms or legs but despite that he became a stand out wrestler in high school. He decided 2 years ago he wanted to fight in MMA. Everyone told him he couldn't. Guess what? They were right.
Excuse me while I have NO sympathy for him. Seems he had a good time though, but I'm still loling about him wanting to try again. What is he going to do?! How is he going to win a fight? |
