Finally got to go snowmobiling this weekend!!! I did something like 175 miles on my '05 Ski-Doo MXZ. Technically it's not mine but it's easier to say that it is. For the most part it was uneventful but there was a slight mishap. While stopping on the side of the trail for lunch (hot-dogs) a person that we were riding with rear-ended my uncle. No injuries, just a bent bumper and mud-flap-mount thing for my uncle and a broken bumper and hood for the other guy.

As far as other stuff that's happened in the past few days, one of my dogs ate (yes ate) my USB flash drive. For those who don't know it's an external hard drive that you plug in to your USB port and store many things on. Mine had music, videos, pictures, and a ten page book that I had to write for school (it's also on both mine and my parent's computers). I was playing with Moose (dog) and it fell out of my pocket. Moose'll eat absolutley anything he can get in his mouth, that has so far included such things as rocks, wood, feathers, the cats litter-box contents, and many many other random things. Anyway it fell out of my pocket and he ate it. I was sitting inside when I realised I didn't have it. I went to his pen and found two pieces of black plastic. That's it. All the metal stuff is gone. Hopefully he'll have 128mb more memory so he might just do something I tell him too. I doubt it though.

I just got home from school a couple hours ago and my back is fooked. I've got a severe throbbing pain right in the middle of my left shoulder blade. I just took some Advil and I hope it works, I have places to go tomorrow. I'm shadowing a friend to (hopefully) help me decide which high school I'm gonna go to.
At my own school today we had quite the conversation. One of my friends (I will from this point onward refer to him as Senator) was asking everybody whether the Girls Gone Wild movies blurred everything out like they do in the preview. (for the record I am not a porn obbsessed phycopath) It was funnier when it happeded than it is as I'm writing it I'm sure but there wasn't a person that he didn't ask as he called it a "life question". He finally got an answer and went to complaining about how Tipper (3rd or 4th person asked) didn't just tell him that it isn't censored. He didn't shut up until another person hit a ruler hanging off the egde of a table and it flew accross the room, hitting one person in the head and generally scaring the crap out of everybody. I walked right into the path of the second attacking ruler. That was really funny then, if you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at?

Car Stuff: Aston Martin V8 Vantage;
Yup, the cheapest of the Aston lineup. Too Bad it's not actually cheap...starting at $140,000. Styled like all modern Astons, beautfully. Performing like all modern Astons, like we can only dream about. Handbuilt. Glorious sounding 340 bhp V8. 186 mph top speed with 5.1 seconds to 60. What more could you ask for in a car?
This is supposed to be the smaller, tighter more focused of the Astons. As such it was tuned at the Nurburgring (a 13 mile 147 corner widowmaker of a track in Germany). As well as the rest of the Astons it's quite possibly the best looking car of all time. It's only got two seats but that doesn't stop it from being somewhat practical, it's got a hatchback. Yeah, I want one.

News:
I think the time is right for something that you won't see very often on this blog...news. It usually bores me but, if it's big, I'll sometimes put it on here. The big news tonight it that Richard (Dick) Cheney aka the Vice President of the United States of America, has shot another person. It was an accidental thing that happened on a hunting trip in Texas today. The victim is ok as far as I know (details are unclear) due to Cheney traveling with and ambulence at all times. I'll keep you posted as this progresses.

Red vs. Blue:
Yeah, here we go again, more quality entertainment. Another web series, called Red vs. Blue, produced by Rooster Teeth Productions, it's based on the popular video game Halo. For those know about the game Master Chief got rid of the Covodent Armada and the other forces were involved in civil wars. I won't give anything away but it's extremely funny. Not for the little ones though, plenty of language. A link shall be found on your right.

E-mail Security:
This evening I had some problems with my Yahoo! account. I would type in my ID and password (which I knew were correct) and it said that they were invalid. I thought maybe it was a server or network error so I called a friend to ask if he could get in to his. He explained

"Yeah we messed around with that, I tried to get into your E-mail and gave you a new password. You'll just have to change it.

This brought me on to something. Just how secure is my E-mail account? If he could just put in my Birthday, zip code, country, and pets name then give me a new password...anybody who knew me could have control of my E-mail. That would be bad.

P.S, you know who you are, if you try to hack my e-mail again I'm gonna beat you to death with your own skull.

MP3 Players:
I've been shopping for an MP3 player recently. Now I know what they mean by complicated market. Here are my problems at the moment:1) ipods are way too expensive. 2) I don't trust used electronics from people that I don't know. I had narrowed it down to to 2 choices, then I started reading reviews. Option number one: inoi 20 gb thing ($159). 5 star average review, but playlists are limited to 100 songs each (nowhere near enough) and you can't search through music via artist, genre, title ect. Option number 2, Creative Labs 20 gb thing ($209). People say that buttons screw up a few months after purchase, the headphones are trash, the software is useless, it has unlabeled buttons. I know exactly which one I want, but they don't make it anymore. I want a 20 gb Dell. I know from experience that it's easy to use. Playlists = whatever you want it to be, all kinds of good stuff. Except to get one I have to go used...typical.
