Oy... no more writing! Just made my first update on the Rangers website. I am gonna have tons of stuff to update there! Bryan made it in today, welcome new Ranger! Too bad S-S Bob didn't make it, maybe next time when you finally go out and get some skill! Still didn't talk to Kara today... wonder where she is.

Work is getting more and more hectic. 4 people left now, and crazy schedules with 6 day weeks and I am currently on day 1 of a 6 day series of work. Oh well, that just means big paychecks! Speaking of which, I just bought the Spiderman DVDs and I am in the process of receiving the Yu-gi-oh ones, and also in the process of buying the Batman ones. Money money money... coming all from Polaris bags! Better get to bed early, I gotta get up and prep my second sales and also run to the post office!

Jamming away to Live 365's DDR Freak Radio channel... and eating some Mentos. No work today... hung out at home and did E-bay stuff, I have to wake up early tomorrow to finish it and take it to the post office. I also hope those other people who got the "wrong" bags will e-mail me back and tell me what's the deal. Also I hope I can win some of those bids for the Spiderman and Batman DVDs. Had lots of fun today in the server playing with Bryan and the rest of the Rangers. There is a scrim tomorrow night at 7 I think, I doubt that I will be able to make it home in time for it. The ladder also starts now, and the matches should be starting soon. Haven't talked to Kara in quite a while now... wonder where she is.
Don't really feel like posting too much but what the hell, I'll do it. Also like a chore... work sucked today. Just me and Monique cause Leroy's kid had a seizure and went into the hospital. Can't blame him for being a Dad you know? I wish the best for them. Peter was supposed to come by... never did, and Leroy was supposed to come back... wonder if he ever did.

Tonight Bryan hopped onto TS with me and played a little SoF2 with hom!cide and S-S Bob... and we ended scrimming some team that I already forgot the name to. We got our asses kicked, mainly because Bob sucked and Bryan wasn't doing too great (not bad though) and homicide wasn't doing too bad either. Anyways, hopefully Bryan will play more with us.

Stupid E-bay... I gotta remember: "It's all in the words" and at least NOW I've fixed that stupid "problem". Hopefully the others will get by smoothly. We'll see tomorrow.

Yea work really sucks today. I found out from Sandy that Ansel did indeed put in his 2 weeks last Friday, and so now we're looking at 4 people employed at Store # 83 in Vacaville after Ansel is gone. Leroy, it's your time to step put buddy... and everyone will be putting in long hours to get through the rest of this summer.

I am going to hopefully soon start to take over the Rangers website and give it tons of updates. It should be fun, and I get to show them what I can do for the website to make Rangers be better.

And now... a sad moment:

3250 Has Died Today (July 5th, 2004)

His life: We will call him "fish" because he has no name... he is a number. He changes depending on how many miles he has traveled with me. He has made 6.5 round trips of 500 miles with me in a little glass bowl with clear and blue glass pebbles on the bottom. He has been a good fish, he has gotten mad at me (when he was young and at his prime), he has committed suicide a couple of times (but lived), and he has eaten a lot of food. He was given to me by Ashely back in the Trinity dorms in the December of 2002. I will purchase his "successor" after I move into my house in the fall. And now... a moment of silence.............. 3250 shall now be given a death that every pet fish should deserve. Down the toilet you go... (Taps playing) Goodbye buddy, I will remember you, ALWAYS.

I worked today, Ansel first went home and Leroy was supposed to be there but he never showed up, but Monique and I were able to handle it, even with it being the 4th of July and all. It wasn't terribly busy. Good money today. Then after I came home it was probably a good 3 or 4 hours worth of Soldier of Fortune 2. Played a match against TKA of which we won the first round by 1, they won the second round by 1, and so we go to a tie-breaker map (Kam 4) of which I didn't know anything about and so I just played defense and we won that by 2 flags. After that we went into <(DeZ)>'s server, and got a big 7 on 7 practice match going on... they are gonna kick our asses. ArchEnemy said that they still had a few of their top players to show, and we still had Wraith, Ban, and hoHo to show too. Can't wait for that ladder to start!

Jeff came to visit today and we played some cards and stuff. Good day and Beth left me a message... thank you!!

The nose... hurts so much... leaking like a dripping faucet... and when the sneezing waves come, it comes in X2 ~ X5. It was not cool all day at work, using paper towels in my pocket to 1.) Catch the flying debris/mucus coming out of my nose and 2.) so that I look somewhat sanitary to the customers. My nose still hurts right now, the only things I can possibly think of to do is to go to bed or take a shower... I'll shower tomorrow. Sleep now, but I am helping keep Bethy company because her friends are being drama queens like high schoolers (of which they are still fresh out of) and they are ignoring her. Poor Beth.

Well, I got work tomorrow on USA's birthday, which means I get double time pay ($9 times 2 equals $18 an hour for about 7 1/2 hours equals $135 in one day!!!) Yeah hopefully it won't be EXTREMELLY busy. I mean I know it will be busy like before but hopefully not too busy where we can't handle it. It was also busy at work today, we did around $8470, and around 210 customers. Last but not least I hope my nose will quit FUCKING PISSING ME OFF!!! *sniff*sniff*SNEEZE*

Guess who got promoted? Me! I'm now a Captain, so my tag looks like this:
{Rangers}{Cpt}Helios
Wooahh! Played lots of SoF2 today and had a couple of scrims which we didn't get to 100% finish each one. First one was against D.E.F of which we killed them the first round but they picked it up the second round and just decided to quit. Then the second scrim was against Szabo's new clan, FBA, of which we won the first round 8 to 4 and instead of playing a second round with the sides swapped, they decided to go and complain and bitch until we decided to play in their server. HOWEVER me and Genocide couldn't get in because of stupid .pk3 errors so we just quit, thus we won. The DEV ladder will start soon, next week I think, and that will be fun, hopefully it's late enough that I'm back from work to play.

Day off today. Woke up late, and then went and saw Spiderman 2 with Tony. It was a good movie, but **Don't read this if you don't want the movie to be ruined** I didn't expect them to show Peter Parker's true identity to both Harry Osborn and Mary Jane so quickly, in that this is only the 2nd of the Spiderman movies... who knows how many they will make. The Crocodile guy made an appearance already as Peter Parker's science professor, and they also showed MJ's fiance as JJJ's astronaut son who went to the moon and brought back what will eventually turn into Venom. Also at the end they showed Harry talking to his dad, and him discovering the cache of Green Goblin weapons and glider in a hidden vault. **End Movie Spoilers**

I went and hung out with Mike tonight, he was supposed to be doing his homework and working on math/chemistry but I probably just distracted him. Freddy (Fredo) is still alive and kicking, that old 13 year old dog... and he also got a new black lab, I forgot what the name is but that b!tch (lol) was even crazier than Lucy! Mike's doing good, working at Reebok in the outlets and going to summer school. I will have to hang out with him more, play Halo with him and other guys, and also fix his computer. (Making mental note to pick up his computer and fix up his hard drives.)

Bethy made a post about me today :) and I was able to help. Although I felt kinda bad that I didn't pick up the phone when she called (because it was still set on 'Silent' from when I was in the movie theater). However when I recommended that she try installing Ad-Aware it seemed to fix her computer of which was screwing up because of stupid spyware and adware. I should recommend to her to run CW-Shredder too.

Oil change tomorrow at 7. Work tomorrow at 11:30... truck day... hope my pants get dry before I gotta go in, and then I get another day off on Friday. I should call Darra soon.
