Ticked: Apparently my pick didn't go through for an NFL pick'em league I'm in.

Ticked: Pretty positive my PS2 has kicked the bucket. Nuts.

Smile: After picking up some poop in the backyard and letting Ripley out to drop a plop again, I mowed the yard. Ripley was outside with me, exploring and doing the stuff good girls do. And right when I'm about to go back in the house, I step in a huge fresh dog turd.

Now why would this make me smile? Well, after I stepped in it and said what was now on my shoe, I saw Ripley on the deck with the biggest smile on her face, as if she planned it.

She's too cute to get angry at.

Smile: Really enjoying German. Been a productive day as well, hopefully it stays that way.

Smile: Gonna make me a burger on the grill. It's nice out so why not?

Frown: I have to sign up for my defensive driving class. :?

Yes, got my IP ban on Dreamcast-talk... :P

About fucking time they grew some balls there...

I hope the few people I sent a PM can still read them now that I'm banned...

Huh? Are you happy that you got banned from a forum?

I'm lost again.

He was making a statement about how the mods at Dreamcast-talk don't do anything.

I know. Confusing isn't it... :lol:

Some really really nice people over there.But the lack of mods, lack of interest in their own site, and the few genuine assholes that roam the place ruined it for me...

Best one was when a 32 y/o member said this:

"I just face fucked a 20 y/o nerdy bitch and I'm pumped!"

After numerous reports from me -at first they did nothing- he got a mere slap on the wrist. What the fuck!?... Especially knowing the guy had wreaked havoc for 2 weeks non stop prior to that incident...

So I stopped posting for a while. Then came back a few days ago. Started posting here and there. Nothing much, you know, baby steps. I help someone with a question on how to repair his Dreamcast (pot tweak his lens), and this arrogant fuck comes in and starts dissecting every sentence I wrote and trying to counter them. Apparently using a multimeter is totally not necessary when pot tweaking the lens. Amongs other asinine and counterproductive remarks...

So yeah, that was the final straw for me...

Resulting in me going completely overboard and posting a picture of 3 nude girls. Nothing too raunchy, but enough to be sure I'd get banned. Let's be honest, when you post a nude pic on a retro gamer site, it's not like you plan on coming back...

Aww, so sad... :lol:

Took them almost 24 hours to take it down too...

Anyways, I just wanted to be sure I got that IP ban so I'm not tempted to go back there anymore.

I am a Dreamcast nut afteral... :mrgreen:

You only get that if you top a brownie with ice cream.

Ticked - found out the manager who was going to hirer me in Nashville is being fired tomorrow. Which could be really bad or really good. It could just mean I move up there, pull an obscene amount of overtime, and still work for my current boss. More than likely though it means I will not have a job for me up there...

Smiled - After months of issues with trying to get a house, we might have just found the perfect one for us for a couple years. It is in the back of a small neighborhood, with a forest behind it, and is about 5 miles from the church we want to go to. 12 miles from her work - meaning a 30-45 minute drive to work for me (depending on the ticked). Best of all I have almost enough cash to buy it outright, so I can finance it on a 10 year and put down like 80%, then we have a few months for me to get a job before things get hairy. The ultimate housing goal is a compound of several geodesic domes connected through partially to fully buried tunnels that is mostly solar powered and has well water - but thats ten years away at best. And yes I know it sounds like a space station or super villains lair...
