Insurance

So I got my bill for the insurnace the other day. It went down $100 from last year, but that was still with them thinking I lived in Iowa.

So I called them up and told them I moved and got a new quote…

It went from $716 to $1,863…

Then I had him add my dad on there, that brought it down to $1606.16. Which is still less then the other quotes I had recieved from places, and with TWICE the coverage, dollar amount wise!

So then we fill out the paper work and he’s like, “Oh, BTW you are eligible for the 5 year aniversary discount and a Farm B discount”… So that brought it down to $1,473. Still, TWICE what I was paying in Iowa, but a damn good deal for here in Cali! Then he told me that I had to pay by either visa or mastercard. Well, my bank account didn’t have that much in there so that ruled out using the Visa, so then I had to use a Mastercard… Alas, I DO NOT HAVE a Mastercard. So I told him I would have to transfer money to my bank account and call him back the next day.

PS!!!!! If you’re not a member of Farm Bureau I highly suggest it.. You get TONS of amazing benifits. (Just do a google search for “YOUR STATE Farm Bureau”) It’s only $65 a year here in Cali and my mom said it was $40 a year in Iowa.

So I called my mom and talked to her and she convinced me that I didn’t need Comprehensive coverage on my car, so when I called Nick back the next day, I told him to drop that which brought my total down to $936! So I’m really excited about this because I had BUDGETED $2,000 for insurance! Woot!

Then I asked him about new cars, and got a quote on the car that’s top on my list right now.. He said with FULL coverage at my current limits it would only be $1,200. Which I think is strange, but whatever. 😀

So I finailly have that all sorted out. I need to call Saddleback too to find out what I need to do if I just want to take one class. I don’t want to enroll and do all the stupid tests they make you take to place you, because I just want continuing education credits. But I really think that I want to take a class there next semester. It would keep me busy.

And Tom, I officially asked Blake to the holiday christmas party.. All he said was.. “I wish you could see my calendar” I’m guessing that’s a no. lol. But like I keep saying, even if he is free, it’s a long ass ways for him to drive just for a party.. But if he could come down, I’d probably take the whole day off to spend with him.

Anyways, I’m out!

Site Movements

So yesterday I bought a new domain… That’s right! Soon, cjbonline.com will point to this site as well! Woot.

I also got my site set up at my home computer and just need to work on getting a few other things working before I make a switch over to there. Because I’m sick of being hosted. It looks like DyDNS will charge me $24 a year to do what I want, so I’m trying to find a free solution. Any ideas anyone?

Yesterday at work I really didn’t want to do anything, but I did end up getting a lot of stuff done.

I also realized that google has pulled 5 gigs this month from my website and thanks to OG we found that it was because of one page getting stuck in a loop and sending data forever and ever! I disabled that page for now.

I was supposed to go up to Big Bear today, but the bitch I was going with never called me last night… And stupid me left his number at the office. Oh well.

Umm, other then that nothing has been going on in my life. So adios!

Old Friends

So last night I found an old buddy list backup from like 3 years ago. So I loaded it up…. My, who knew I used to talk to SO MANY people online! It’s sad though because i can’t remember who hardly any of the people are. Like I have a cat called, “People I know” and well, I really don’t know any of them any more, lol. I also have a group called “Chatters” with 30 AIM names in it, and I can’t remember who any of these people are. I googled most of the names, but sadly a lot of them didn’t return anything. 🙁

Not too much else. Did I mention I made an apple Pie? Yummy! I ate half of it then threw it away because I really don’t need to eat it all. lol

There’s riots in Paris. Kinda crazy!

In less then a week I get to go up to WeHo and see Blake. 🙂 Very exciting!

And in 8 days I’ll be leaving for Paris. 😀

As you can tell, not much is going on in my life. lol. I’ve been working 10 hour days, 8 hours in the office, go home work out and then 2 more hours there. Blah! I can’t wait for the short days that next week will bring. 🙂

I have a new rule.. Anyone who calls me over night, is going to get a return call at 5am when I wake up. I’m sick of people calling me when I’m sleeping… And NO, I can not put my phone on silent because A) I’m ON CALL and have to answer my phone if work calls, and B) I use my phone as an alarm clock.

And that’s about it! I’m out.

Jack And Coke

I always forget how good Jack and Coke is.. Yummy! It warms you up and makes you feel all good inside.

Have you ever noticed how you can get a 2 liter of pop for $1.00 and a 20oz. is $1.19?! WTF?! That makes no sence.

I have a nice fire going tonight. It’s so coozy. I just wish I had someone with a sexy ass to cuddle with infront of the fire. 🙂 I love cuddling infront of the fire at my parents house. Cause both the Living room and Family room have wonderful views of the back yard. And when it’s late at night you can have the fire on and you can sit there infront of it and look out the picture windows on the woods and the snow, and see the bucks out in the back yard fighting.. It’s so amazing! I love nature.

And that brings me to the real point of this post…. I’ve been thinking about Eagle Bound again… I really want to teach it again. But instead of at Camp, I think it’d be really cool to do like a weekend thing. Bring together a bunch of scouts from different troops. (Idealy it’d be 20 scouts, and 5-10 adults, and two facilitators). Break them down into patrols and run it like a Troop. Spend Friday night getting to know everyone and have camp songs and a welcome ceremony and then spend ALL day saturday and the morning of Sunday learning the basics of Scouting. Spend early Saturday afternoon reviewing and stuff then have Eagle Bound Olympics Sunday late afternoon, then pack up and leave by 6pm. I think it would be amazing. Since most crossing over cerimonies happen in the early spring or early fall. You could do it twice a year if there’s enough interest.

But the best time to have it would be Late March or Early May because then you could get all the new scouts and you can get them advanced enough so that they can have a great first year at summer camp earning merit badges and stuff. Because my first year at camp I earned 6 merit badges and I think that was amazing because you can really get a good quick start. But like at Mitigiwa if you wait to do Eagle Bound AT camp you loose the ability to do 2 of those.

So by getting them to do it in the month or two before camp you can get them geared up to go to summer camp and you can get them ready to really learn in the merit badges at camp. IE, if one were to take orienteering at camp, and HADN’T completed that part of the First/Second Class requirements you’d have to teach them EVERYTHING and thus hold back the scouts in Orienteering who HAD learned that. So it benifits everyone.

My one fear though is that if I go back to the scouts and get as involved as I’d like, there’s a better chance of getting “The Letter”. If I keep my distance, I won’t get the letter… Because once I get the letter, it’s all over. I lose all my hopes.

But anyways, I’ve even been sitting here thinking up new games for the Olympics. The ones we had at Mitigwa we’re pretty involved in the setup and operations… So yeah, they wouldn’t work with a limited staff one would have at a weekend get away. At Mitigwa I had 10 staff, plus one assistant director and then ME the director. 😀 There I could also handle up to 80 people doing the Olumics at one time, and up to 40 people in each class. Cleary, at a weekend get away there’d have to be a limit of 20-25 or so, and I would hope that it could become populart enough to put on two – three times a year and maybe even atract people from neighboring councils, and hopefully in time be able to pay a staff.

But speaking of Mitigwa and all this, it’s amazing how many people out there are searching for Mitigwa on Google (23 hits).

The words “Boyfriend application” were my biggest hits though (242).

Some other random searches that are funny:

“Taste of lexus”

“barry road having sex”

“brian presnall” <~ Only funny if you know who this is (ANDREW!) "joel taylor porn" <~ Same note as above "hazemat tents.com" "11 sept. 2001 enya" <~ Random?! "what a night. what a waste of my dad\ s $270." "www.incestdot.com password" <~~ I actually got TWO hits from that one... What the HELL is this site and why would ANYONE go there? I actually got a lot of hits on various "Andy Mcgee" things and a few other people that I know from back home. Kinda makes you wonder who's googling these people!? Other Various Stats: OS Visitors: Windows - 65% Mac - 20% Other - 15% Browsers: IE - 50% Firefox - 11% Safari - 18% And the rest is from about 50 other various browsers, the most random one being: UP.Browser It's also amazing that I even have a Lynx user! Yay! Google sent me a total of 478 unique visitors which was 70% of my seach hits And hello to my Cocos (Keeling) Islands visitor! 80% of people spend between 30seconds and 2minutes viewing my site Ok, that's enough randomness. I just saw this horrible news broadcast about who some neighborhood is trying to get a sex offender kicked out of his house he's lived in for 10 years... OMG people, the guy DID his time, and he's repaid his debt to society, he has EVERY RIGHT to live wherever he wants. God I hate when people do this shit. It's just like the whole smoking things in resturants and public areas. (Well ok, there's arguments against smoking on both sides and the people haven't paid society for thier smoking, but still) Anyways, adios yall!

PermaLinks

YAY! I finially took the 10 minutes to make permalinks work! Haha, I know it’s only taken me so fucking long too… But they are working now. So be excited everyone. 😀

I also installed the Google Sitemap plugin, but there seems to be something wrong with it. So I’ll have to play with it later. I only have so much time on my hands people! haha.

And lastly, I got nuvexport working. It only took 5 hours to encode 1hour of Gilmore girls…. But it did a pretty good job, went from being 4 gigs/hour down to 460 megs/hour…. Now I’m copying it over to my laptop to try and watch it to make sure it actually did a good job encoding that.

I need to find out why it took so damn long to encode it though. I really don’t want to spend 5 hours to encode each episode of Gilmore girls. 🙁 I wonder how the hell those torrent people do it… They skip commercials and compress it down in under an hour usually! Blah. Maybe I just need a faster computer.. It is funning on aa 1.6Ghz P4.

And that’s been my day. Adios!
