END OF AN ERA

WELL...AFTER 400 POSTS AND COUNTLESS TIMES TALKING ABOUT ENDING THIS BLOG OR CHANGING OVER TO SOMETHING ELSE... GUESS WHAT... ITS FINALLY HAPPENING. THIS WILL OFFICIALLY BE THE VERY LAST POST THAT I WILL EVER WRITE. I CANT BELIEVE I KEPT THIS THING GOING FOR MORE THAN 7.5 YEARS... ITS BEEN QUITE A RUN... THIS THING STARTED OFF STRONG AND WITH SO MUCH POTENTIAL, AND THEN IT JUST GOT KILLED BY TIME. OH THERES GEMS HERE AND THERE BUT SOMETIMES THE POSTS ARE JUST SAD... LITERALLY SAYING NOTHING, YOU KNOW THAT AND I KNOW THAT TOO. SO MANY POSTS WERE FORCED JUST SO I CAN KEEP THAT ONE A WEEK POST GOING. I HAVE SO MANY TOPICS THAT I WANTED TO WRITE ABOUT BUT EITHER ITS HARD TO WRITE, TOO LONG TO WRITE, JUST DIDNT FEEL LIKE IT, TIRED, OR WHATEVER THE REASON WAS AT THAT MOMENT. I REALLY DONT EVEN KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU ACTUALLY KEPT UP AND READ ALL THESE POSTS. I KNOW THERES A HANDFUL OF YOU, AND AFTER THE LAST POST I REALIZED THERES A FEW MORE. HOWEVER... THERE WOULD BE MORE READERS IF I DIDNT TYPE IN ALL CAPS FOR THE WHOLE DAM THING LOL. SOMETHING ABOUT ME SCREAMING AT EVERYONE OR IT BEING HARD TO READ... WHO KNOWS LOL. EVERYONE THAT I KNOW WHO BLOGGED AND EVEN JUST RANDOM PAGES THAT YOU GO TO MOST OF THEM HAVE STOPPED AS WELL. ITS HARD TO WRITE, ITS EASY BUT AT THE SAME TIME ITS HARD. IVE FLOATED THE IDEA OF A YOUTUBE CHANNEL BUT THAT TAKES EVEN MORE TIME AND EFFORT AND WOULD BE A BIGGER PRODUCTION, AND I ALREADY DONT EVEN WANT TO WRITE THE BLOG, SO HOW WOULD I MAKE VIDEOS... LOL... IVE LEARNED A LOT OVER THE PAST YEARS BLOGGING AND ITS FINALLY TIME TO MOVE ON, TIME FOR A CHANGE. EVEN WITH ALL THAT SAID IL NOW BE STARTING UP A PODCAST!!! SO NO MORE READING POSTS AND IMAGINING MY VOICE INSIDE YOUR HEAD, NOW YOU CAN LITERALLY LISTEN TO ME TALK AT ANYTIME YOU WANT!!! NOT MANY PEOPLE READ ANYMORE BUT LOTS OF PEOPLE LISTEN TO PODCASTS, SO I FIGURED YOU KNOW WHAT... LETS SEE HOW THIS GOES. THE PODCAST OFFICIALLY START NEXT WEEK... LETS SEE HOW LONG THAT LASTS... COULD IT GO FOR ANOTHER 7.5 YEARS... WITH WEEKLY EPISODES... THAT WOULD BE QUITE IMPRESSIVE LOL. I GUESS THERES ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND YOU, AND THATS TO GO AND LISTEN!!! THE LINK IS BELOW, SO GO AND BOOKMARK IT NOW!!! LOL

IN BETWEEN

WELL IM BACK, BACK TO REALITY. IT WAS A TIRING TRIP. IT WAS NICE SEEING FAMILY AND HANGING OUT BUT IT WAS NONSTOP. I ACTUALLY GOT BACK MONDAY MORNING, THEN I WENT HOME, CHANGED, AND WENT STRAIGHT TO WORK LOL. ENDED UP STAYING UP SOMEWHERE AROUND 35... 40... HOURS? I WOULD HAVE TO CALCULATE WITH THE TIME DIFFERENCE AND ALL. THIS POST IS IN BETWEEN 2 POSTS... TECHNICALLY ALL POSTS ARE IN BETWEEN 2 POSTS LOL BUT I MEAN THIS POST IS BETWEEN LAST POST AND NEXT WEEKS POST. THERE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT IT. CAME BACK AND HAVE TO CATCH UP WITH WORK AND YOU KNOW HOW THERES THAT LULL AFTER A VACA WHERE YOU JUST WISH YOU DIDNT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING? WELL THATS WHERE I AM AT AGAIN LOL. JUST PUSHING THROUGH TIL THE NEXT THING. THEN AGAIN WHO KNOWS... MAYBE THIS LULL IS ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE... HMM...

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

LONG WEEKEND TRIP

THE PAST WEEKEND WAS A LONG WEEKEND SO ME, THE GF, FRIEND, FRIENDS WIFE, BABY, AND BUDDY WENT DOWN TO SEATTLE FOR THE WEEKEND. RENTED A PLACE, WHICH WAS REALLY NICE AND THE OWNER WAS LIKE YOU CAN EAT MY FOOD AND BORROW MY CLOTHES IF YOU WANT AND EVERYTHING. WE ENDED UP EATING HIS PIZZA... LOL. IT WAS NICE PLACE WITH A FIRE PIT AND ALSO A TRAMPOLINE LOL. HE HAD A TV IN EVERY ROOM AND SONO SOUND SYSTEM AS WELL. ANYWAYS WENT DOWN AND ENDED UP GOING TO CHEESECAKE FACTORY 2 DAYS IN A ROW... LOL. CHECKED OUT PIKE PLACE AND SOME RANDOM MALLS AND OUTLETS. BASICALLY ALL TOURISTY. IT WAS TIRING THOUGH... LUCKILY I DIDNT HAVE TO DRIVE OR NAVIGATE THIS TIME SO I TRIED TO NAP A LOT IN THE CAR HAHA. ALSO WENT TO CABELAS AND OMG!!! THAT PLACE HAD A WHOLE SECTION OF GUNS!!! JUST ALL SIT THERE!!! IN THE OPEN!!! OMG!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH I WAS LIKE A KID IN A CANDY STORE. I WANTED SO MANY OF THEM BUTTTT OF COURSE THAT WOULD TAKE TOO MUCH WORK TO GET IT BACK HERE HAHA. WE DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO ACTUALLY CHECK EVERYTHING OUT. ENDED UP GOING TO THE TULALIP CASINO BUFFET AND ONCE AGAIN OVERDID IT... ATE TOO MUCH HAHA... I NEVER LEARN... THEN BACK TO REALITY. DIDNT ACTUALLY BUY MUCH, JUST A FEW SNACKS, SINCE THE EXCHANGE SUCKS BALLS... ALSO MOSTLY SPENT IT ON FOOD WHILE I WAS THERE HAHA. THE TRIP WAS ALMOST A FOOD TRIP... JUST ATE ALL WEEKEND, MY TYPE OF VACA HAHA.

OH SO I WENT TO GO WATCH KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD WITH THE GF LAST NIGHT. HALFWAY THOUGH THE MOVIE THE SCREEN GOES BLACK... ANDDDDDDDDDD BLACKOUT... YAY... I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED, SAME THING HAPPENED LAST TIME WHEN THE POWER WENT OUT. LAST TIME I WAS WATCHING EDGE OF TOMORROW AND THE SCREEN JUST WENT DARK WITH LIKE 5 MINS LEFT IN THE MOVIE AND WE ALL THOUGHT THAT WAS HOW THE MOVIE ENDED... BECAUSE IT WAS LEFT AT A CLIFFHANGER SCENE AND THE MOVIE COULD HAVE TOTALLY ENDED AT THAT MOMENT HAHA. TURNS OUT THERE WAS A POWER OUTAGE AND WE GOT FREE PASSES TO WATCH THAT AND ANOTHER MOVIE OR WHATEVER AGAIN. ANYWAYS, SO THEY SAID THE MOVIE WILL COME BACK ON IN A FEW MINS... THAT DIDNT HAPPEN, THEY SAID THAT SOME OF THE SCREENS ARE BACK ON AND OURS MIGHT COME BACK IN 15 MINS... WHICH IT DIDNT, OURS DIDNT AND IT SUCKED CAUSE ONCE AGAIN IT WAS A CLIFFHANGER SCENE. WE WERE ABOUT AN HOUR INTO THE MOVIE... SIGH... SO ONCE AGAIN THEY GAVE EVERYONE 2 MOVIE VOUCHERS FOR ANY TYPE OF MOVIE, WHICH IS A BRIGHT NOTE SINCE YOU CAN USE IT FOR IMAX AND VIP WHEN OURS WAS JUST A REG 3D ONE HAHA. NOW I HAVE TO DECIDE IF I WANT TO REWATCH IT NEXT WEEK OR WATCH IT ANOTHER TIME OR JUST WAIT TO JUST CATCH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE... SIGH. IT WAS GETTING GOOD TOO... THE MOVIE STARS CHARLIE HUNNAM, JUDE LAW, DIJMON HOUNSOU, AND ERIC BANA. ITS SORT OF A SURPRISE FOR ERIC BANA BUT LETS JUST SAY HE DOESNT STICK AROUND FOR THE WHOLE MOVIE HAHA. CHARLIE HUNNAM WAS FROM SONS OF ANARCHY, SHOW WAS PRETTY GOOD, I WATCHED EPISODES HERE AND THERE, NEVER WATCHED THE WHOLE SERIES BUT RON PERLMAN, KATEY SAGAL, AND KIM COATES WERE IN IT. SO BACK TO KING ARTHUR, WE ALL KNOW THE STORY SO THIS WAS THE DISCOVERY AND HISTORY OF HOW HE BECOMES KING AND THE STORY OF HIM PULLING THE SWORD OUT OF THE STONE. I CANT BELIEVE THAT DAVID BECKHAM WAS IN IT... IT WAS JUST A BIT AWKWARD TO SEE HIM IN THERE. THERE WERE A FEW OTHER PEOPLE I RECOGNIZED IN THERE BUT I FORGOT WHO NOW... SOME ACTION HERE AND THERE, MORE OF THE DISCOVERY AND STORY OF WHO HE IS. SINCE I DIDNT GET TO SEE THE REST OF THE MOVIE FROM WHAT I COULD SEE I WOULD GIVE IT A 7.3-7.78/10 JUST BECAUSE ITS THE ORIGIN STORY. SOME PARTS WERE MEH AND SOME WERE LIKE OH THATS COOL. GUY RITCHIE DIRECTED IT AND SOME PART THAT WERE SUPPOSE TO BE SERIOUS HAD SOME FUN IN IT, KEPT EVERYTHING INTERESTING AND NOT ALWAYS DARK. I THINK IT WORKED BUT SOME PEOPLE DIDNT LIKE IT. OH WELL. ANYWAYS I GUESS I HAVE TO WATCH THE REST OF THE MOVIE TO FIGURE OUT HOW IT ENDS AND HOW IT REALLY WAS.
