I am opening a new account to host my racing and car show pictures.


Go to >OrangeBeetle
Don't worry this account will still host my drawings, animations, and "artsy" photos.

Today May 18, 2010 my great-grandmother, Ann Procive, passed away at the age of 101 years.  

She was one one of those stereotypical grandmas; tough as nails, boundless with her love, and always ready for us with a fresh batch of caramel rolls. A bit over ten years ago she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and the last couple of years it has progresses rapidly.  It is an anguish to watch the mind of someone die while leaving there body intact, especially when it is someone so dear to oneself. Last year during her 100th birthday she was blessed with a surprising clarity of mind, almost as to give one last miraculous parting gift.  The sadness of her parting is accompanied by the happiness of knowing her suffering has ended and that she is now with the Lord in Heaven.

To those who may read this journal, I ask only for a moment, be it a silent prayer, or to perhaps remember a loved one who is (or was) getting long in the tooth. A moment to remember that life is a gift precious yet fleeting.

Thank you, and God bless.

What should you be doing instead of this:
1. Drafting

What the uneducated and under skilled drivers call Tailgating. Its when you follow closely behind another car traveling at a high rate of speed to decrease the amount of air resistance on your awesome sports car so as to save a little money on fuel or get up more speed to slingshot around him.

5. North Dakota

The only normal state left in this country.

We do have: running water, electricity, water, metal structures, cars, things to do, room, breathable air, and beer. And the nicest damn people you'll ever meet.

We don't have: real gangsters (Natives caught with cigarettes and sent to YCC don't count), a high crime rate, homeless people on every other block, bad traffic.

Nodak is also quite possibly the best place to underage drink in the US...#1 son (google it and check some statistics).

North Dakota is NOT full of hicks. Nor hillbillies. Nor rednecks. Just normal people. And normal people like fast cars, big trucks, and everything with wheels. We play video games, go to the mall, go to concerts, watch movies, and listen to loud music, just like other people. There is plenty to do, as long as you aren't a lazy ass about it and expect entertainment to just be handed to you constantly.

Oh yea, the weather is really unpredictable, so you can't be a bitch about it.
Conversation amongst North Dakota teens:
#1: "Hey man, what are you gonna do this weekend?"

#2: "Well, Friday I'm either going to a show or the movies, then Saturday I'm gonna go get my booze in Bismarck and party at XYZ's house."

#1: "Sweet, I'm goin' down there Saturday too. Need to find a buyer yet, though."

#3: "Here, I'll give you my sister's number, she'll get whatever you want as long as you pay."

#1: "Aight, thanks. You guys wanna come play some CoD4 tonight after school?"

#2: "Chyea, that game's tits."

#3: "Fuck yea, let's do it! Ima pwn your asses."

Yep, all True.


Birth month:
1. december

The month in which the hottest women are born.
"That girl is FINE! She must have been born in December."

Sounds like a cheesy pick-up line; might have to try it sometime.


Last person you talked to:
1. Jerry

Jerry was used by the British in the Great War as a nickname for the Germans. One possible origin is that Jerry was thought to be a common name among Germans, like 'John' with Americans. Another, and perhaps the true origin, is that bed pans/chamber pots were called Jerries, and the Germans helmets looked like them, so... Jerry was one of many nicknames used to call the Germans, the French preferred Boche, the Americans, Krauts. Another common one was 'Hun'. The usage of Jerry, and the rest, although I can't say I have seem much use of Boche outside of WW I related things, continued during the Second World War. The gas/water container used by the Germans in WW II was nicknamed a Jerry can. During the Great War, the Germans, when talking to the Englishmen in the opposite trenches, would use Tommy to reference them, while the British, of course, used Jerry in regard to the Germans.
My high school had this great set of WW II books, and I can remember this one story from a veteran that, for whatever reason, has stuck with me. He and his unit had assaulted a German airfield. "We were running around securing the hangars. I passed the door to an office and kicked it open. I tossed in a grenade and the Jerry behind the desk caught it and shouted, "Nein! Nein!" I yelled, "Ja! Ja!" and slammed the door shut."

Ok?


One of your nick(ha)names
1. Einstein

Really really smart guy. Came up with the theory of relativity and the equation e = mc^2, which basically means that mass and energy are fundamentally related. Can also be used to describe someone who is really smart.
That guy got an A in Algorithms with prof. Brady! What an Einstein!

I have a shirt with him on it.


Last ex:
1. no-one

Synonym of nobody; the jerk responsible of all the world's mistakes. See noone.

Really so that is who's causing me all that trouble.




well that was fun.

The college research dept is paying me to shoot makeup powder (bronze for the specific color) past the speed of sound, at an aluminum target. Just to see if it will stick.

Yes, this was requested by the dept head.

Excellent, now I can actually use the stamps I like.


Hmmm...what exactly does that selection say about me.
