So today I made the mistake of enabling an email account that I haven’t checked since March 7, 2007.. This was the result:
Fetching 14,100 Emails! OMG!
This account collects emails from 5 or 6 domains that I own. lol. I guess I should start checking it more often
Also, I found this on Confessions of a Pioneer Woman today.. Everyone should learn to drive at 8.
Tons of work to do. Too much in fact. I have to get it done.
Two people down on the camping trip. Anyone wanna go this weekend?!
Wow, it’s been a while! I’m slacking off. No, I’ve actually just been really busy/tired and watching tons of movies!
Ok, so Tuesday night I spent at Nick’s house in Laguna Beach. OMG, I love it there! I wish I could come home to a house every day instead of a freaking apartment. So that night I just crashed there and watchedPresque rien (Come Undone). I really didn’t get this movie much. But the sex scenes and the hot boys in speedo’s was a plus!
[private]Got up for work the next morning and came in. About noon this guy comes over to my desk and gets all bitchy cause I’m not in the training session that was canceled the day before. I’m sorry, but you’ve been here 2 years less then me and are 4 years younger then I am. He has no authority to be talking to me in the manner that he was. Honestly even if it were the CEO of the company talking to me in that manner I’d be pissed. I complained about this guy’s attitude a while back when we had a heated IM convo. And I’m not the only one who has problems with him. Everyone here is sick of him and the way he talks to customers on the phone is completely rude as well. So I’m working on documenting his shit to show to my boss. [/private]
I went home shortly after that and called into the meeting to listen in for the last two hours. Which was a complete waste of time. From there I headed up to The Bridge to watch Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in iMAX with Constantine. The movie was really great. I enjoyed t.
Thursday I just crashed at home and didn’t do anything besides work. Friday I worked, came home and met up with Constantine again, we went to dinner at Ruby’s and a classic car show. After that we headed to Jason’s place and watched Jesus Camp. What a scary movie! I can’t believe these kids. They are totally brainwashed. But it’s also amazing at how old they sound. Scary stuff.
He spent the night and we got up Saturday and I had to drive to Burbank to meet up with this web designer. She designed porn sites and I had to help her integrate wordpress into one of them.
[private]I honestly think she was one of those people who took one HTML class or something and then felt she was a programmer. She was dumber then SHIT! Ugh! But I made a ton of money off her so that was good.[/private]
Came home after that and met up with Constantine again. We were supposed to go to a BBQ on the beach. I thought it was in Hermosa Beach, but it ended up being in Huntington Beach and I was too tired to drive all the way down there. Plus we kinda feel asleep after he got to my house, so by the time we would have got there it would have been 9 and the beach closes at 10. We ended up just staying at my place and watching Brokeback Mountain. He spent the night again.
Sunday I made us breakfast and went on a quick ride while he slept in. After that we went shopping for camping trip stuff. REI doesn’t have much stuff that I could really need/use so it was hard to find stuff for both of us. After that we hit up Target and bought about $60 worth of stuff. Speaking of camping though. I’m very annoyed that two people have canceled already and others are starting to get bitchy about things.
Constantine and I ended up just napping the rest of the day away. I’m not sure what it was but I was just SOOO tired all day!
In other news, I have two contract jobs in the final phases of agreeing on price and signing contracts and getting ready to start work and one job that’s just starting the bidding process. So I’m excited about that! Yay for money!
Adios!
So today I am working a very very long day. I only have about an hour left, so that’s good. I took a large chunk out of the middle of the day to drive to San Diego and back to check out a 1952 truck. The truck was VERY nice… But there were a few concerns:
1) he says it sat for about 40 years, but they aren’t sure if anything was done to the truck after that, rebuilt engine, etc. The truck sounds good, and rides good, but who knows about the gaskets, etc. I would think after that long they’d have to do something to get it running? (the odometer has 35,000 miles on it, but he’s not sure if it’s rolled over)
2) Between the header and the exhaust pipe you can feel hot air coming out. Probably just a missing gasket. There’s been an electric fan installed, but I think it was put in backwards.
3) Lots of little rubs/etc in the bed paint. You can tell that things had just been thrown in and out of there. But the truck is solid steel.
4) A few little bubble areas in the paint. Not sure if this is rust or what’s going on with it. But overall the paint job looks great! I couldn’t find any over spray or anything.
5) The wiring job for the new radio is pretty messy.
I posted to the Ford Truck Enthusiasts Site for help.
[private]Now, not to bad mouth these guys. Because they are giving me some GREAT info and tons of help and I don’t want to burn bridges this early, but there’s one person who posted something about being able to browse up a level to my other photos and there being “way to much information” there. Well I’m sorry that I didn’t know how to post images to the forum when I first did the post and that now that I _do_ know how I can’t go back and edit the post. Besides, they are the ones who click the “parent directory link” and then go through and look at those pics. I’m not forcing them to view anything. (I have however created an index page so that the directory listing can no longer be viewed). But overall they have been a HUGE help. Especially the guy with the 1951 Ford Panel truck and they have made me even more excited to get a truck![/private]
I had a meeting at 2 back in Irvine and didn’t get out of San Diego till 1 (it’s an 80 mile drive). The guy was just talking to much and I was enjoying chatting with him (old guys are so cool!). We were talking about trucks and raising kids and what not. Anyways, I drove about 85mph all the way back to Irvine. Got here at 2:10, only to find out that my meeting had been canceled at the last minute and moved to tomorrow from 12-4. Which means I’m working 4am-4pm again tomorrow! I’ll have to figure out a way to just do the meeting from home.
The other day I was able to get some time to watch This film is not yet rated.. GREAT movie if you haven’t seen it. I really think that the whole rating system should be open and more pubilc. Having a small group of people decide what is and is not allowed, and having people who have been on the board for so long is just not the right way to do it. Perhaps we should make these people run for office as well! hahah. Yeah right, that’d be a huge mess! But there def should be some way to control who is on there and for how long.
Also, on the long ass drive back from San Diego, I was listening to Dr Laura. You all know how much I love her! Anyways, this caller calls in because her husband has a “porn and masturbation” addiction. Really? Are you fucking kidding me. Dr Laura ultimately suggested that she DIVORCE the guy because his masturbation means that he’s unable to have a relationship with a real person! WHAT?! Are you fucking kidding me? Ok, first off. Was the wife even having sex with the husband or was she using sex as a tool to get what she wants? That would have been my first guess. Now if they WERE having sex and what not. Then maybe the wife needed to talk to him to find out WHY he’s jacking off and watching porn. Is she not doing what he’d like, does he have a fantasy he’d like fulfilled? Do they always do it missionary style and on Friday night?
I really don’t think you can be ADDICTED to porn. It’s a god damn movie! There’s no substance there altering your mind. I think that a guy should be able to watch porn and jack off whenever he damn well pleases, especially if the wife isn’t satisfying his sexual drive. Now if the guy has been going out and cheating, that’s a whole nother story. But PORN is not cheating! Perhaps the wife should watch with.
UGH, what is wrong with this country?
I’ve been very active this week and yet I feel as though I’ve done nothing! Oh my. Work has been crazy busy, my personal life has been packed. Things are crazy!
So Wed night I went rock climbing with Mok. That boy has some HOT legs! Oh my. And the other boys there at the gym. I thought I had died and gone to heaven! We had a great time, it was only $20 to climb and rent. We went to this place called Beach City Rocks. The first wall that I did was very hard, so we moved over to the easier walls. Which were way toooo easy. Also the movements required were hurting my arm/shoulder and hip a lot. Especially the landings on the way down. After about 4 or 5 times up the wall I couldn’t do it any more. Mok kept pushing me, and I tried a small wall got up it fine, but then you just jump down and the landing killed me. This morning I couldn’t walk at all. After that we went to this really good place called Rice Things and then back to his place to hang out.
The camping trip is really coming along and we are now officially turning people away! How exciting is that. When I first signed up for it I was planning on maybe 3 or 4 people. We now have 8 people who have said they are HIGHLY interested. Of course this doesn’t mean that they WILL be coming, but it’s a great sign. I really think this will be a great group as well. Mok is going to try and book a second camp site because the one I have is filled up. I looked for a group site there, but it is gone already. 🙁 The only issue right now is…. HOW TO GET EVERYONE THERE! We are only allowed 2 cars up there and everyone that’s coming only has tiny cars! Damn LA! So I looked into renting a van and the prices are insane! Like nearly $250 for the weekend. I’m hoping to keep the price per person to below $80!
Thursday afternoon I got off work and got home and it was just the most beautiful day we’ve had here in a while. The skies were clear, the boys were out. You could even see Catalina clear as day! So I had to get out there and enjoy it. So I changed into my biking gear and headed out. It was very painful, but the day was just too perfect to miss. I did about an hour of riding and then headed home. OH my god, the beach boys were just gorgeous.
Friday morning I woke up in some pretty bad pain, so I didn’t come into work till late. Which kinda sucks cause I wanted to hang out with Constantine that night. I got a lot done at work and still have tons to do though. I put in a bid on ebay for a truck, I won the bid, but it was below the reserve by about $6,000.
Friday evening was quite scandal filled. I picked up Mok about 10 and we headed out to Weho to meet up with Constantine. We got there and went to Fiesta Cantina. It was two for one, so I just got Mok and I a double vodka cranberry each. Well little did I know that he’s never been drunk before! Opps! Lets just say that he was very drunk after that. We only spent about 20 minutes there because Chad was at The Abbey and txting me to come over there and hang out with him. We head over there and meet up with him. Well apparently the only reason he wanted me there was to make out! Which would have been fun, but not with friends there. So we split ways and got more drinks and then hung out at The Abbey the rest of the night. Met up with Jason and Steven and a bunch of their very gay friends. Jason was plastered off his ass which was very entertaining. Some cute guy even came up to Mok and they exchanged numbers! 🙂 We left about 1:45 and grabbed pizza and then headed home.
Saturday morning I slept in till 9 and then did Laundry for the morning. That afternoon I headed down to Laguna Beach to see Pageant of the Masters. But first I met up with Nick and Dustin. Nick was hosting a little get together for a bunch of ALC people. That was really fun and met some more good people from the ride and we all talked and shared stories. After that we all headed over to the Pageant. We met up with Nick’s friends Steve… Steve and I actually talked about a year ago via AIM for a while and then we just kinda stopped talking cause he was always too busy to hang out. All I have to say is that I should have kept trying to hang out with him because he was adorable!
The Pageant of the Masters was just AMAZING! You would not believe it till you saw it. So if you’re in the OC/LA area, you MUST GO SEE THIS! If you aren’t in the OC/LA area.. GET YOUR ASS HERE AND GO SEE IT! Very very cool!
After the Pageant the 5 of us went back to Nick’s house and chatted for awhile and shared ALC pics and just talked. I left about 1:30 and came home.
Sunday morning I again slept in till 9, got up and got ready for brunch at Ocean Diner. Constantine, Sirin, Robert, Mok, Adam (The guy from Weho on Friday) and Eric were all there. Brunch was tons of fun and we got the ball rolling for the camping trip. I think that this group will be great and very nice. I sure hope that everyone gets along. I can’t wait for the trip. After that we all headed down the street because I wanted to buy a hat. It’s very cute! I wasn’t sure about it at first because it’s not at all the type of hat I would wear. Not that I even wear hats!
From there we all headed back to my house and went to the beach. Erick joined us and later on Jason and Steve were there as well. A big old group of homo’s on the beach. Two of them in hot speedos! 🙂 How can that not be fun! We were there for like 3 hours or so. Once the evening clouds rolled in we all broke from there and headed over to the Dominator Shipwreck which I’ve talked about before. It was of course tons of fun. However we did come across three dead seals. 🙁

Adios!
Oh My god.. I just ran into one of the biggest assholes online ever!
So I get a message from this guy on hotornot.com asking if I have MSN. I message him back and give him my SN.
Well today he messages me on there, we chat for about 2 seconds. Total. First off the whole time he gives one word answers. .. What do you do? … “Chemical plant”. What the fuck does that mean?
Anyways, so then I go to ask him where he lives… And this is what happens….
3:39:15 PM me: Cool, so where are you located?
3:39:27 PM mattmci: edmonton ab
3:39:29 PM mattmci: u>?
3:39:43 PM me: where’s that?
3:39:48 PM me: I’m in Newport Beach, CA
3:40:03 PM mattmci: canada
3:40:16 PM mattmci: wheres ca?
3:40:19 PM me: california
3:40:26 PM mattmci: wheres that

3:41:10 PM mattmci: yet u expect me to know all yur states
3:41:15 PM mattmci: fucking americans
Changed status to Offline (3:41:30 PM)
3:41:30 PM mattmci: Matt has removed you from his or her buddy list.
Ok, seriously. Anyone read that and automatically think AB = Canada? Around here, AB = Airforce Base. Not fucking Canada. And then seriously. Even if you are from Canada, who doesn’t know where California is? It’s only the home of 8 million TV shows, movies and recording artists. And I mean hello the GDP of Alberta is only $215 billion, where as the GRP of California is $1.5 trillion (2004 numbers for both). I can totally understand people not knowing here Iowa is, but California?!
So I emailed him back on hotornot…. Let’s hope he replies!
