Wednesday August 2 Yes I am working the day after Ozzfest, am I insane? Quite Possibly. Before leaving for work I told Rachel to give me a call before her dad picked her up. At work on this day it was going to be around 104º due to the 99º weather and the humidity. Because of this we stayed in the office loading machines and such. I did fall asleep twice briefly but no big deal. I had called Rachel to make sure Dan would be awake for when I got home, and surprisingly he was already awake. Around 11:30 Rachel called me to let me know she was heading home, so I wished her a safe trip and finished up what I was doing on my current machine, and when noon rolled around I headed home to go get Dan, turns out I missed Rachel by about 2 minutes. Well Dan and I got his things together grabbed a quick bite to eat and parked at my office so we could take the train into South Station. Trains seemed to be running quite slow which caused us to miss the bus we wanted him to get on. We ended up getting him ready for the 2:15 bus to Portland for his mom to pick him up; before he left I had to leave to return to work, I had already let a boss know I was running a tad late. I was almost back to my stop on the train (probably about 50-100ft out when the train just stopped because there was an emergency a few stops down, it was just one of those days. ah well.:-p. Any way I got back to work finished up the day and headed home. When I got home I relaxed for a while and then met up with my friend’s Dan and Lorrie so we could go for a ride in Dan’s boat. We headed out for a while and then when we were almost to the point we wanted to be at we started to see lightning, it was time to head home, and of course then people started calling telling us that there was a storm and that we should hurry back. So we rushed back, it was getting a bit windy where we were but not too bad. As we got closer to Quincy it became more and more choppy to the point where the waves were becoming quite a decent size and we were getting quite wet from the water. Well we eventually got back to his house, I got some food because no one else wanted the pizza we got offered. Meanwhile we talked about stuff, like things from high school and funny stories of people hiding homework because the person they got it from was annoying them immensely, and then just other goings on. We then tried to decide on a movie but couldn’t find one so we went to blockbuster and agreed that almost every movie sucked however since Lorrie had never seen American History X We had her watch that (I still voted for a Tremors Marathon:-P, however I agreed with this choice).We went back watched the movie, all enjoyed it and then called it a night. I dropped Lorrie off and headed home. It was another good night, however quite a long one.

Thursday August 3 At work we stayed in building again but today we were doing data processing and I got a more thought involved one so that was cool:) Thanks Ellens. After work Stopped home briefly and went to Joe’s to Beat some Halo 2:-D YAY. That was about all of the events for the night.:)

Friday August 4 At work, in the morning Sheryl (one of the secretaries) gave me a big bag of wint-o-green life savers (my favorite of the mint kind) since it was the last time she would see me before I left to go back to Boston (she had the next week off and that was my last week).That day we… well for some reason I can’t remember what we did, and it is quite annoying, I know we went to a school but I can’t remember which one, ah well. At Lunch we went to this new place in the North part of the city the sold home made root beer, and we all had coupons for free large Root beers. We were going there because Bob was meeting up with a good friend of his Sully. Sully is a good man, one of my most loyal disciples, hell he even wrote a pledge of allegiance to me. Any who we get there and the place is packed, and their CO2 is broken so no sodas which means no root beer:(. I ordered a steak and cheese sub, it wasn’t bad a bit pricy though. Half the group went back to the office to eat but Bob, Diana, Sully, Anthony, and I stayed to eat there. We parted with Sully and headed back to the office. On our way to the office we got some news about our checks pay rate changing, because the raise we were told we got a while ago apparently we weren’t suppose to get and that they were going to have us pay back the difference. I was PISSED. During the ride, Anthony looked at me and could just see it in my face. It was bad. When we got back I talked to Nick our boss, who passed the info along to us, where he got his information from, he told us it was from Rich, the department’s boss, and Mullaney, The head of the Business and Payroll Department. I went looking for both of them Rich was in a meeting and no one knew where Mullaney was. Later on I talked to Rich and he informed me that yes our pay rate was going down, however we were not supposed to pay back the difference. I was calmer then. The rest of the day just kind of went by. I then went to my friend Kathleen’s house to install some software for her, so her computer could be finally complete from when I started a week earlier. That went well. I then stopped at home and drove into Boston. I parked at my college and walked to the Pru to attend a Technology meeting I go to once a month. When I got there (about a half hour later than I usually do) there were only two people there one who I hadn’t seen in months (met him my first meeting but then didn’t see him again.) and the other one who had missed the past two meetings who was actually the first guy I had talked to. Shot the shit with them for a while got some info for a few projects I wanted to start (also got a phone call from a friend about laptop purchasing advice), and then more and more people slowly started showing up, some new, some regulars. We talked about a bunch of stuff, I just tried to keep track of it all, and then as the meeting came to a close I headed back towards my college for a party with my friends that are there for summer semester. Before entering I got a phone call from my friend PaPPy about a flash game that needed hacking, and he ended up successfully doing it. GO PAPPY. Well I got into the building as a friend from that room was heading up, and noticed a friend of mine (A fellow Person Helping out with orientation,), who I made sure to wave to later. Any who I got up there and hung out with all of them until about 2am. It was a fun party as always. And of course on the way out while in the parking lot I ended up talking to Kappy for about an hour. I then parted ways with him and proceeded to head home. It always seems like such a long drive when I leave there so tired. That was the end of that night:). Saturday August 5 I woke up at 10:30 and then passed out till 1. I very very extremely rarely sleep that late I HATE SLEEPING LATE, HELL I HATE SLEEP! It was probably because I didn’t get to sleep late after Ozzfest. I began writing a lot of this massive update then. The action of this day happened later on when my ma, my friend Lorrie, and myself met up with my ma’s boyfriend at his friend’s Block party he was holding, Lorrie and I just hung out there for a while talking about random stuff as usual:). Eventually my ma got bored and wanted to leave so we headed home and I took Lorrie out in my car and we drove around randomly through a couple cities just having fun. I had invited Dan to the party as well but he was working, and when Lorrie and I were hanging out we called him but he was exhausted so he called it a night. Anyway Lorrie and I drove around for a while, looking at our old neighborhoods (west Quincy, Dorchester) and some friends areas (Milton). Around 12/1 am (I think) we called it a night, I dropped her off and headed home, she was heading to Plymouth in the morning, :-p lucky her. That was my night.

Sunday August 6 Woke up around 8 am wrote more of this update, talked to my friend Kristina (the one who just bought the laptop). She told me she was having problems with it and that she needed some software for it, so I told her after I did what I had to do I would go check it out. I showered up and headed to my Grandfather’s house because my 92 year old Great Aunt was coming up for lunch and I wanted to at least stop by and say Hi. I went over there and she was a tad late (apparently our cousin who drove her is a notoriously slow driver and late person) any who I said my hellos and talked for a while. Joe showed up at some point and shortly after I said my goodbyes and he and I went to Kristina’s to fix her laptop (I fix he sit there). Well I get there, say hello to her and her company and I began working. After a while of working, and Joe having an “accident” all over her floor, I fixed her laptop (Best Buy forgot to take off her Proxy server so she couldn’t go online) I calibrated her stylus, updated her machine and installed software. That was all set and then Joe and I headed out to finish the night with some more HALO. I even got a hug as payment for my work:). Not much else happened that night. Today Went to work, we delivered machines that we had been working on to all the schools they came from. Went back to the office ordered lunch, I did a quick run to the bank. Did some moving of Files (Hard copy ugh:-p), and we then went to a keyboarding lab to replace some drives and for me to attempt to break our new security software on them, I was getting close but I was told to stop so we could configure things. We went back to the office, and headed home. I came home, relaxed for a while and caught up on my web stuff on other websites, and then yep you guessed (maybe you did at least) headed to Joe for some more HALO:-D (Am I addicted? Is there online somewhere a picture of Joe photoshopped as a Big Pink Bunny?). And now here I am writing this Blog. Have a good Night. This is the end of the massive updates:) FINALLY!!!:-p heheh.

Hey all Ive been pretty busy lately running around doing stuff, but have no fear for The Emperor has returned!

Here is a Big update ranging from My last real entry up till right before Ozzfest 2006:-D. Part II will be coming later today/tonight.

Massive Update part 1!
The Night of Saturday July 22
That Night I ended up sitting around photoshopping, even helped Kristina with a tattoo dilemma the wonders of Photoshop.
After Photoshopping I went out on a walk with a good friend of mine, she wasn’t in a great mood (friend troubles) but thankfully after a 2 hour? walk she was cheered up a bit so that was good.

Sunday July 23
Woke up a lot later then usual (almost 11am), I hate waking up late. I got an IM from my friend Dan letting me know that high tide was coming up. So we decided to go get my friend Lorrie. About 40 minutes later everyone was ready and we get to Dan’s house, and of course by then the tide has gone out a tad so we ended up only going out for almost 2 hours. I got soaked at one point, I was sitting up at the front and leaned flat on the front and we went almost straight into a wave. Oops:-p. heh it was alright. They got a good laugh out of that too:-p. After we headed in we decided we would go hit up a local restaurant/Sports Bar, and get some food. But of course I decided to change first and so did they. Dan Came around to pick us up and we headed to the place. I got a Mountain Dew Dan got a Pepsi, and Lorrie got a …Sierra Mist? When it came time to get food we all ordered basically the same thing minus a few toppings, The Bobby Orr, it’s a Small sub roll stuffed with chunks of steak and covered in cheese, with a side of Steak Fries, and Beans. It’s a great meal. We talked about Random stuff, Dan and Lorrie got into a conversation about Guinness beer and also how so many people don’t know how to pour beer from a can (tilt the glass pour half of it down the side, upright the glass and empty the can). Any who we all had fun doing that and we headed back to his house I believe we then watched Monty Python and The Holy Grail, Which of course was awesome (who wants to build a giant wooden badger with me?) after all that we realized we were all relatively tired so we called it a night, and Dan drove us home. It’s always great hanging out with those two. Once home I just relaxed for most of the night talked to a few people and then headed to bed.

Monday July 24.
Woke up for another day of work, and then off I went. After work, I got home and talked online to a few people for a bit, and then watched a movie I have really wanted to see but never got the Chance, “Serenity.” I had watched all Of Firefly a while back, the series Serenity had come from. It sucks because Firefly was a great show but somehow I missed it when it was originally on in 2002, however it was cancelled because of lack of viewers, currently it has many fans, the problem was most of its current fans were unaware of its existence, or its time of airing was bad, at the time for some reason or another. I highly suggest watching all of Firefly as well as the movie Serenity, and yes in that order Anyway after that I was hooked again and went on a researching warpath for everything about the movie and the show. After that it was pretty much the end of the night.

Tuesday July 25
Went to work of course, came home relaxed for a while, and then Played a bit of CS:Source with a friend of mine. In other news on this day AMD bought ATI which I believe shall lead to some interesting Tech Developments in the coming years. Not much happened today that I can remember other than what was said and some planning for Ozzfest.

Wednesday July 26
Another day of work and relaxing when I got home. At work today I headed to one office to help out this guy Mike with his Palm and getting it to work on his desktop and his laptop, while putting files from his palm on his old comp on both, while there I got to see the summer help he hired this cute girl named Samantha;). Played some more CS:Source with 2 friends of mine, while on the phone with my dad’s ex’s daughter who I had known for so long which made her like a sister to me, I hadn’t talked to her in a while so it was good to hear from her. Called it a night around 1AM. Another slow night.

Thursday July 27
Woke up shot an Ewok and went to work, ok ok maybe I didn’t shoot an Ewok. At work I believe I worked on Mike’s Palm again, I just can’t remember what I did, hmm maybe I started working on it today who knows. Got home, relaxed, watched a movie, “The Hulk,” Listened to some music that a friend sent me, Stradivarius, they weren’t bad. Did some more stuff on my comp which was most likely playing this game I am addicted to, I’ll describe  that later, possibly talked to Joe for a little bit since he got home on Thursday, if he wasn’t in NH all the time I’d probably be hanging out with him a lot more. That was about it for Thursday. In Other news, the US finally Ceded control of the Internet to an “international organization,” however I’m not quite sure how well that will work out. Hopefully it’s for the best.

Friday July 28
Work was work, Worked on Mike’s Palm Pilot again because it refused to HotSync correctly with the laptop for some odd reason, I ended up spending 3 or so hours on it and in the end we had to just have him Sync to his desktop and not use it with the laptop because it would keep erroring out, on the bright side I saw that cute girl again hehe cute faces can brighten days:p And since the Palm was the last thing I did I went home after finishing what I had done. We also got a chiller in our office (a type of air conditioner) we finally got working. Got home Talked to a few friends online, then went to Joe’s. Me and him played HALO for a few hours and then one of his sister’s boyfriends came over and the three of us played till 1am, killing each other and having fun with glitching the game.:-D

Saturday July 29
At around 2 am got a frantic phone call from a friend of mine, but later on in the day got a call letting me know she was all right. Woke up Early to head to Six Flags in a town known as Agawam Massachusetts. The 5 of us (Kathleen, Richie, Erin, Ryan, myself) met up with 5 others (Jared, Peter, Peter’s GF, Chris, Chris’s GF) got in the park and met up with another two (Matt and Lauren) and we all went on a ride then the 5 of us went to the water park while the other 7 stayed in the theme park section. That was quite fun. Later on Matt and Lauren met up with us in the water park. They seemed pretty kool. We had fun on all the water rides, and then as that was coming to a close we headed to the Theme park area, they went on the Batman Coaster first, which they seemed like they had fun on. While walking around the theme park Matt and I talked about his cell phone/PDA and I realized He was in my Comptech class for about a week or two back in sophomore year of high school and then he asked what I knew about computers, since I mentioned myself as a computer guy, prior to me knowing that he in-fact knew how to handle his technology. We had some cool conversations about technology and his fun job working for Compucon. It started raining a couple times and we began on a hunt for Chris for he had Kathleen’s keys to her metallic chariot. After sometime we found them because they didn’t answer their phones, Jared because he was a prick and Chris because it was on vibrate and he didn’t have it on him. We found them about 20 minutes after we split ways with Matt and Lauren. At this point the rain had let up and it was getting late so the 5 of us headed home and let the other 5 enjoy themselves in the theme park. On the way home the other 5 passed us with Jared mooning us. Later on I found out I became sun burnt even after using a bit of sun block, apparently not enough. Got home and talked to a few people and then went to Joe’s house. Put on some Aloe and beat some Halo (when I refer to Halo it could be 1 or 2). I slept at his house; we called it a night around 4.

Sunday July 30
When I woke up put some Aloe on. I got him out of bed around 1 after trying a few times prior to that. We played some more Halo then I went home first around 2 then went back to his place after a shower and returned again around 9, when I got home a friend of mine called me to help with their computer, I ended up reloading it and setting up most of their stuff. I got home around 11:30/11:45 and basically called it a night.

Monday July 31
Went to work and talked to Mike He needed me to put a few of his Palm’s files on his laptops, Like his address book just so he can have important numbers. So I went to his office to do that, while doing that I found out what I thought could have been the problem with Hot syncing and Hot Shit I fixed it, I was quite happy, after that As I was leaving I started talking to his summer assistant Samantha, Turns out she just graduated Notre Dame High school and was going to go to Providence College. She seems cool. Went back to the office and we had a relatively easy day. After work My Friend Rachel from Wentworth came down from her place in Vermont and met me so we could head into Boston and get Dan (My Dad’s Ex’s Kid who’s basically my brother) we picked him up at South Station. Then Headed to my dad’s house to pick up His new girlfriend’s son James. We all then proceeded to my house to drop our stuff off then went to Joe’s house to hang out for a bit. Later on we went back to my dad’s to get James’s money and a cooler of Gatorade. Then we, stopped at Lauren’s house (My ex who was coming with us to Fest de la Ozz with her BF Mike G.) to give her a brief rundown of the plans for Ozzfest, returned to my house and got ready to call it a night.

Tuesday August 1
Woke Up early got everyone up and dressed and headed to Joe’s. And of course Joe woke up late which delayed us a bit. We left his house I got some gas, and we headed to IHOP, got there around 7:20 where we met Lauren and Mike. We all ordered some food, chatted a bit; I gave mike a brief summary of how we were going to get there. At around 8:20 we headed out. At the turn off for 95 a semi wouldn’t let Mike turn off so we ended up having to talk to them part of the directions so they could catch up with us, when we got to 495 we found them and then we got to the Tweeter Center. And Now I shall Split this Blog. The Next Update will describe the events of Ozzfest and the rest of this past week.

I may even edit pictures in later=-o.

This past week started like all the others with work. On tuesday there was a massive thunder storm. Lorrie, a good friend of mine, and myself took my chariot out to find a good place to observe the storm and hangout for a while. We headed to the beach known as nantasket for a while and walked around while we waited for the storm to start. After an hour or so of walking around, we decided to head out since the storm had yet to start and the odd people that were around the area, heh crazy people. So I began to drive us around and we ended up driving around and seeing Renken walking down the street, so of course I drove around in a circle so I could pull up next to him. We said hi and drove off to Wollaston Beach. Hung out there for a while and we both shared more stories of recent events. The rain didn’t start but while we were there the lightning and thunder did start, although it was behind us so the view was not the greatest. A short while after the lightning started Renken contacted me to tell me that where he was it was pouring and he wanted a ride home. It was odd because he wasn’t that far from my location and where I was So we departed to give him a ride home. I picked him up brought him home, and Lorrie and I found another place to watch the lightning. We found an awesome place to watch it from, which turned out to be a great place. We saw some bolts that stretched for miles they were beautiful and amazing. As the night came to an end we both decided it was time to head in. Overall it was a goodnight and fun hanging out with her again.

Wednesday I went to work and headed into boston with samort to practice parkour, something he introduced me to. It was fun he showed me how to do a couple vaults. At one point I faulted on a jump and whacked my knee off a tall fence that wouldve sent me into concrete if i hadn’t gotten my other leg caught on the fence. This resulted in a swollen knee and a bruise, overall not bad though just a bit stiff, and slightly sore. As more people showed up I recognized one person from Wentworth, Jeff. Jeff is a cool guy. Anyway we all kept going and they showed me some of the cool spots that they parkour at. After a few hours we called it a night and all headed our seperate ways. I returned home and didn’t do too much else.

Thursday: After work I hung out with Kathy Chelsey and Ginny, which was quite fun because we all hadn’t hung out in quite a while because we have all been busy. We watch clerks in honor of the fact that clerks II was being released the next day. We all kept making jokes and just hanging out. After the movie we did a candy run and when we returned we all parted, it was awesome hanging out with them again.

Friday: This day started out with going to work. The night before I had been IMed by my boss to inform me someone vandalized our garage door by spray painting on it “Fuck QPS” which when I got to work I saw.

I can’t stand people like that, especially considering it was on our door and all we are is the tech department. People are stupid. We finished up The other high school at work and then proceeded to work on a couple more machines in the office before calling it a day. After work I went home and waited for the night because I was going to see George Carlin, who is my favorite Comedian, and also the creator of the title of this blog. I had planned on going with my mother and her boyfriend. However due to her not feeling to well, a cousin of mine decided to join us. Carlin put on a great show, He said mainly new material which was probably for the best considering I know most of his older stuff, but one great flash from the past was started with one of his great lines, “You know what doesn’t get talked much about in public, Pussy farts,” its good to mix in the older Humor. The opener he had was pretty good as well, its was an opening band/comedy act, the main guy’s name was Chandler Travis, I definitely recommend you checking them out if you get the chance, they were pretty funny.

I had fun at the show despite some annoyances like the ride back. Once home I was offered to join my friends in boston(Kappy,Sleepy, Jackie, Farragher, Brian, Farragher’s Friend Denise) to go to Good Times Emporium, we hung out there till 2am, the last thing we did was play laser tag which was quite fun, I’ve always enjoyed that game, I generally play it with my friend PaPPy, and we pwn all :-p. After that we all piled in my chariot and headed to the dorms and partied there for a while. Around 3:15 Kappy and I
left and had a conversation in the parking lot before returning to our homes. I ended up getting home around 4:30 and heading to bed.

Today I woke up at 6:45 am to attempt to get a call from a friend of mine but unfortunately I fell back to sleep and missed that phone call, I feel bad about that considering this is the second time I’ve missed hanging out with all of them (although the first time was work related). Later on I headed to my cousin’s Grad party and then returned home for most of the evening, minus one trip to pickup food.

That is all for now.
