Brio the First

Happy Spanksgiving everyone!

Hope you enjoy eating Turkey and stuffing and veggies and smashed taters and dead jack-o-lantern pie. Also being with the family. This is one of the couple of times you gotta suck it up and pretend to tolerate and like all of your Family Members XD.

XD

Ok An is taking forever to upload the rest of the videos so Im just gonna go ahead and write about it (even tho showing you the video would be 100x more OSM). anyways after our battle in front of Boarders we went back to my car and An (the Ninja on roller blades) grabed on to the back of my car and I drove him around the parking lot while the people in the other car shot the video of it.

We then headed to Target (the one I work at) to pick up some milk and Candy. Since An couldn't go in with his roller blades we got one of those carts with the kiddy seats in the back and had him sit in that while I pushed. Just to let you know I was still wearing my MBU-2 costume while we walked into Target.

The Looks on peoples faces were priceless seeing me pushing around a ninja in a shopping kart. so I picked up the milk and then we walked down to the candy area and I picked up the candy as well. On the way I saw alot of Familiar CO-workers but they had no idea it was me. Just before the check out a group of people wanted my picture so I did a quick pose. At the check out I placed the items on the belt and we payed for the milk and candy then left. It was so much fun and hilarious. The next day at work people were asking if that was me in the costume and I told them it was me.

After the shopping experience at Target I headed home for Halloween. Once Home I headed strait out into the Neighborhood for a walk in the MBU-2 suit. I think I already explained this in my last post so I'll skip to the Picture.


This is me Standing next to Sammy the 4 year old next door. Sammy wasn't to Excited to get his picture take next to me not that I blame him XD. All in all it was a very fun Halloween.

I just wish An would Upload the rest of the videos. He actually got some of the peoples expressions as we were walking in Target.

what I did for Halloween well first let me show you this Video of me (if you don't know which one I am then you must have some serious issues XD) and the Ninja's name is An. He is a Co-worker of mine and is the one who made the video.



There is much much more to what we did that day I will post as he uploads. I wish I could tell you what we did next but I don't wanna spoil it.

So after I hung out with An and his sister and friends I headed home for Halloween. After a quick shower and Gold bond Powder application to keep moisture at a minimum I headed out into the neighborhood in the MBU-2 costume. I caused quite a stir up in my neighborhood. everywhere I went I could hear people saying "OMG look at whats coming down the street!" or "Dude what is that? that is so Awesome!" Basically it was like I was at another Anime Convention. I stopped probably about 15 times to have my picture taken and surprisingly none of the kids where afraid of the MBU-2 costume where as I had that 1 kid last year who was afraid of my Regular Brio costume. Well Sammy who lives next door to us was a bit afraid and I had to take off the head to show him it was me but even then he was avoiding me.

All in all it was the best Halloween I have had in a long time. It was well worth the neck pains the next day from wearing the head for over 3 hours strait. I probably should have stopped in a secluded area to take off the head for about 5 minutes but ehh I was into it XD.

I can't wait to show the next video because it is soooooo great, hopefully An will have it up soon.

I was searching through some of my old files and I found this:



It was the banner for my old Lj account.

For those who don't know my first LJ account I was called the_masterer. that name originated from my first Anime Con back in 2004. I sat down in a chair in the lobby and stared at the wall not moving a inch. it was kind of like one of those British guards who are not supposed to move. anyways after 30 minutes someone caught on and he started to try to get me to move. with no luck he started to try to get other people to get me to move. this one person started to draw on me. another person stuck a cigarette in my mouth (not lit I don't smoke). after a while people were taking pictures of me and I even had 2 followers who were then calling me "The Masterer". I almost broke my stillness when a girl in a tiger bikini bent over next to me and said, and I'll never forget this XD but she said "you wanna suck on my Boobie?" trying to get me to respond. XD OMG I WAS THIS CLOSE!!!!!!!! However I didn't flinch and my followers said "After not movie For that you are truly The Masterer!" I finally moved after a little while cuz otherwise I would still be sitting there now.... probably dead from thirst XD.

well I made the LJ account a few days after and after I got Swift 3D I made this banner after a scene from Resident Evil 2. The account is gone now after I deleted it in a act of Heart Brake and depression. but I still have the banner. its given me an Idea for a upcoming Movie scene or possibly series for Brioshi Productions.

EDIT: I had a Dumb Blond Brio moment, I forgot I had this image as my background on my LJ page XD... well anyways here it is in full without my LJ blocking it... can't believe I forgot about that.

Alright I got it... its one of those things were I am like woooooooooooooooooooooo and stuff makes sense for about .000000000005 seconds. I dont know if thats possible for nerve cells to be able to respond that fats enough for me to comprehend what I would be thinking for that to make sense.... I cant even make sense of what I am saying right now.

but it is one of those moments just not with all the facts that i just said because that was all bull shit what i just said anyways... ok if you ever have one of those moments where you are in a train of thought and yu realized that everything you thought to me true was wrong and everything you are told not to be is what is actually right to be in the world. Like don't be a asshole no one like the asshole but then you get out there and everyone Loves the asshole and you are non existent. like you are the asshole for not being the asshole but you not the type of asshole people like your the asshole people hate. their is no good or bad their is bad that is good and their is good that is bad or something like that.

if you ever watched FMA and you saw it all the way to the end where Ed goes to our world (the other side of the gate) hes like "but but... equivalency is the way of things" and his fathers like "no its not". its just like that. you work so had to be nice and all and then you get trampled on and then the asshole who doesn't do shit to help gets rewarded for being an asshole because everyone is used to him being like that and even after he fucks up hes forgiven and rewarded more... you fuck up once and you become public enemy number Fuckin one! their is no forgiveness for you because no one is used to you messing up they don't know how to react to that they just go all out on you.

I lost my train of thought I can't remember what I was gonna say next. it was something about another thing thats true but you know what I totally lost what it was. but really and Really now... it doesn't matter. If you are reading this now up to this point first of all I gotta say you are a real trooper and I congratulate you on sticking it out. but if you have read this long you really gotta ask yourself from your own perspective... do you really give a flying fuck? I mean in the next year or so would you even care. Because all the people who ever said they cared about me and would forever and always hold me in their hearts stopped caring. for all I know they stopped caring 2 minutes after I truly opened up to them and became myself. when they realized I cared and I was serious about who I am and my feelings and dreams, it became to real for them and they did not want to face reality.

all I can think is that before it becomes clear to someone what it was I was truly trying to say it will be to late and I will have been gone from their lives. Im sorry to my Friends who I am no longer with, but it is only because they abandoned me first. As for those who are still with me... well heres to hopping it will last. "cheers" *Drinks Mountian Dew* its not wine but it works all the same... plus I dont have any wine and I don';t really care for wine that much..... ok i need to stop typing Im beginning to shake.

I have finally finished Crossing bound 2. after a month and a half while getting my teeth worked on and trips up north like crazy in between I have finished what I thought would be done 2 weeks ago Crossing Bound 2.

It is my longest movie yet a full (YouTube full that is) 10 minutes long of Animal crossing/Earthbound goodness. and guess what... I have 2 version just like with DVDs.you have a choice of watching it in standard full screen (HQ) YouTube video or you can watch it in 720p HD Widescreen. Its my first time using HD and I know there are bars on the side of most of the video but thats because the animations I made in swift were 500 X 600 and I didnt think I was gonna be able to make the movie in HD. But its still VERY OSM none the less. well Im done blabbing on about the movies go and watch'em why don't ya. Enjoy!


This is it in HD Widescreen (HQ Movie is below)


The standard Fullscreen YouTube (HQ)


DailyMotion Upload for people who can watch YouTube for some reason =/ (quality is poor I don't think it Likes my Video but it will work enough to see)

I have been and still am working on this for the past month:



Im getting pretty close to finishing the movie. I can guess I am about 80% done. so far its 4:14 long and I'm guessing their is still at least another 2 minutes left to the story. That means this will be the longest Animation/movie I have to date.

the Blue Mario with the J in the hat is Juan. He requested my help in his half of the story so a portion of this movie is based on his plot. Im sure you recognize Lor and Olga as well.

Im hopeing to be done this Friday...but I said that 2 weeks ago. stuff keeps getting added to the plot and its making it run this long. I know I will be done before Halloween because to be quite honest I am sick of Animating this film. I want it to be finished NOW!!!!!!

anyways Im sure it will be OSM once its finished (from what is already done it is VERY VERY OSM!)

You don't have to do this I just like talking about my Icons XD

01. Comment to this entry saying 'ICONS!' and I will pick 6 of your icons.
02. Make an entry in your own journal and talk about the icons I picked!

This is the Wind up key on the back of my 2009 Smart Fortwo spinning in real time. I wanted to show it without having to upload a video since thats time consuming. Plus its Very OSM to watch... like a lava lamp. Its not one of my most used icons so that means if and when I run out of Icons this will be one of the first to be deleted for a better icon. I used a combination of Pinnacle Studio 12 (captured the video through my DVD Handycam 7) and Flash.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Titled "Let me Out" Icon. I made this one for the use in the Animal Crossing Communities for when I want over to someones town but they are all filled up or if the Wifi is down. Originally when visiting Lor of Buttberg her town was vastly populated with people wanting to visit when she opened. I usually had to wait for a while to get in all the time commenting on her page "I cant get in =(" this icon was then made to go with it as a funny image of me banging on the gates of Dundalk to be let out. This was created using Swift 3D and Flash.

_____________________________________________________________________________

The Mecha Brio Unit (aka MBU) MBU was created after I had a Dream of me running from a Mecha of my AC self that was as tall as a telephone pole. MBU could be summarized as my evil mecha self so this Icon is usually used for times when I am pissed or annoyed or sad or any unpleasant times (related posts or comments). I have used it other times that were not related to bad tidings but thats usually me rotating through icons so that you don't see "Brio by Olga" over and over and over again in the same page. Plus MBU needed some Icon Love so there he is XD. Hes basically hitting a pole with his bat that hes always carrying cuz hes well... pissed. Originally I was gonna have him swinging the bat at me and missing the whole time but unfortunately LJ will only allow 40kb icons and putting to much animation into a shot will make the icon into a 126kb animation and I already have to tone the quality of the animation down just to get it to 40kbs thats why the coloring in most of these are off.

_____________________________________________________________________________

This is the oldest remaining Icon I have uploaded to LJ. I had this Icon on my Previous LJ before... things happened and I deleted it. Before I had Swift 3D I made all my Icons in Flash only and it was hard making them. this icon probably took me 4 hours to get just right. You'll notice in this and some of my early Brio of Dundalk pictures and Icons that I have Blond hair. when I first played wild world back in 2005 I had Bleached my hair for Otakon and it was very Blond. so I made Brio of Dundalk Blond. After a while I got tired of looking like Super Saiyan Brio so I changed it back to the Brown (brownish redish blondish goldish what ever) like I am IRL. its basically me standing in the middle of the roads of Dundalk and getting hit by the moving camera XD.

_____________________________________________________________________________

"The MBU-2 and Brio Costumes Caramelldansen" In celebration of the completion of the new MBU-2 Costume I put up the Green Screen got into the suit and did the Caramelldansen for each suit. then I used Pinnacle Studio 12, cut and pasted the 2 costumes together to make it look like they were dancing at the same time in the same place, and put a tropical island pack drop just for the hell of it. If you where ever at a Anime Convention you would probably see a number of people doing this dance in the middle of the halls. At times I would join in while in my costume. Unfortunately I cant wear both costumes at the same time and do this for reals because that would make Cons 2X more fun... Think of the random MBU-2 vs Brio battles... SO OSM!!!!!!

_____________________________________________________________________________

Finally we have "My Smart 2009 Fortwo" this is my only still Icon which I hardly use at all. I think I might delete this one because its gathering dust. When I thought I would be joining a Smart Community on LJ I made this Icon but I didn't and so I dont really use this. It was just to show my Smart off in my Icon. It has served its purpose and is no longer necessary as an Icon. If anything I need more Animated Icons. They take time to make and I need more ideas for making them.

Went to my Dentist last Wednesday to get my Root Canal done. The procedure wasn't bad at all the only thing i found uncomfortable was having to hold my breath because I wasn't able to breathe out of my nose at the time. I have actually felt more discomfort when getting fillings done then when I had the Root canal. Its weird because most people made it seem like Root canals are the most painful procedure when working with your teeth. Even in Finding nemo that guy getting his done was yelling in pain but its not like that at all...

well I guess it is painful when you wait to long to get it done. I wasn't in any pain before hand meaning I didn't wait till I started having pains in the tooth to go see the dentist. anyways I felt a little pinch when he was drilling out the canals but it was like if you toot your fingers and pinch your gums slightly.

Unfortunately I do have to go back to get the crown because at the moment I only have a temp tooth over whats left of my real tooth. And not to mention the bill because Im already in a slump because of that and this is after insurance and before the crown procedure... but the effects of the "Novocaine/other shots given to me in my mouth" are still lingering. I cant taste anything, my tongue is still tingling and my taste buds are numb. I could eat Habanero peppers stuffed with jalapenos with a Wasabi milkshake and not feel a thing. I don't know how long its supposed to last I mean I got the shots 2 days ago... almost 3.

Long story Shot I could Kick my own ass for not flossing my teeth. Altho I could kick my own ass for alot of choices I did or did not make in the past... But we are all pretty much like that for one thing or another. Its sad but unfortunately this is the only highlight of my life at the moment. Never said it was gonna be good.

( 2 pictures of what has been done (warning contains picture of my mouth XD) )

I don't mind going to the Dentist I don't mind getting shots in my mouth I just don't like my tongue being numb for this long... that and the bill.
Seriously tho I didn't feel a thing during the whole procedure. I was actually up half the night before worried that I was gonna be in excruciating pain... but there wasn't any at all.

So yesterday I drove down to Fayetteville to visit Lor. Its about an Hour away from where I live (45+ Miles). Taking 401 which is basicly all backroads that range from 25 MPH to 55 MPH, very beautiful country roads tho.

When I arrived I got to meet Lor face to face for the first time and meet her Dogs as well (Sweet, Energetic and Playful. Yoshi was just like Lor mentioned XD). We played around with Animal Crossing a bit and I hooked up my Wii to Lors computer. Hooking it up was no easy taks. There was alot that had to be done before I could get it to work. After rig wiring a set of headphones to a IR jack I was able to get it to work. The thing is its being displayed through Windows Media Center wich is like Windows version of TiVo or DVR so there is a 3 second lag between command functions (In the game animal crossing if i start to walk up on the controller he will not start walking till 3 seconds after i press up and will continue to walk 3 seconds after I let go). But we were just trying to get the patterns out of Lors Able Sisters so that she could have them after we destroyed Buttberg.

Once we destroyed Buttberg we restarted Lors new town. I helped out with the fine Technical details of the game (cough cough) and special things with the New Neighbors in town. It took quite a while but it was well worth it in the end. Today I need to get Lor her patterns back to her so she can work on her Town.

We went to subway to get some flat bread Sammiches (very good). After Brian (not me but Lors Roomie) came home we had Shepard's Pie that Lor made (Damn good stuff ^__^). And for dessert Lor made us some Waffles and Ice cream (Loved it). I also got to talk to Tori & Ethan (Lor's Kids) over the phone. They have heard me over the Wii speak while visiting Lors Town before so they were pretty thrilled to hear that I was visiting Lor in person. The things Ethan said was hilariously funny.

We all 3 played Party games 2 for the Wii for about a good hour or 2. Brian went to bed he had work in the morning. For me and Lor the night was still young since we are used to staying up later. we went outside to see if we could see some meteors and looked for starts. It was still a bit cloudy so we didn't see much but it was still VERY enjoyable for me. I watched some music Videos of some of Lors favorite bands and it was pretty good.

Around Midnight Lor was getting a bit tired (I understand playing host can be very draining). So I packed up my Wii, gathered my things, said goodbye and headed back for home. of course when I got home I couldn't go right to bed so I was up for another 4 hours before I went to bed. so here I am posting on LJ and I woke up at Noon XD.

I had SOOO MUCH FUN and it was SOOO OSM. I can't wait till we get to hang out again. Right now I gotta hook my Wii back up and get all the stuff in AC situated.

Well Otakon 2009 was fun. I only participated on Friday due to lack of planning (had to work Saturday) issues with parking prices and the heat was almost unbearable. I also enjoyed the days I had off with my aunt sandy ( I was staying at her place during Otakon since she lives in Baltimore or near it at least.

on Friday morning I stood in line for about 4 hours before getting my badge. Thats the thing about Otakon it has the longest line of any of the Cons I have ever been to. After getting my bade I returned to my car to put on my Brio Costume. I immediately was starting to get hot in the humidity of Baltimore's weather. I started to walk down the streets of Baltimore to the Con which was about 5 or 6 blocks away. I can only imagine what the bystanders of Baltimore were thinking as I was walking downtown in a 7 foot Animal crossing Costume.

on the way I was stopped about 12 times to have my picture taken by non-congoers. by the time I got to the con I was tired and burning up. I had to take off my head and rest for about 5 minutes. It was packed this year. I had a few pictures taken of me at the main entrance and then someone with a boom box started to play the Animal crossing theme and followed me around for about 5 minutes. Along the way having my picture taken every 10 feet or so.

I later met up with Orlando (who stole my ax before I knew it was him) and some of the other people I used to hang out with like Emily and crystal. they took off to the gameroom and I didnt see them the rest of the con.

Around 3ish I headed back to my car and changed into the MBU-2 costume. It was great I could see more out of it than I could the Brio costume and the head was more attached to mine thanks to the baseball helmet. I had more Pictures taken by people of the streets and even a FedEx truck stopped and asked for my picture.

At the con a few people asked if I was the same guy wearing the regular animal crossing costume and I told them I was. Most people called me the Evil Animal Crossing player or Scary Animal crossing Dude. no one asked what MBU-2 stood for but thats ok they said I was OSM anyways.

About 5:30 I was Tired and ready to leave so I went back to my aunts for the night. I was debating to go back again on Saturday but then I remembered I had a 6 hour drive ahead and work and parking was gonna be more on saturday (like $20) so instead I drove home Saturday morning.

Overall Otakon was fun but IMO I think Animazement takes the cake because its close by, parking is free and its not as hot. I wish I could have stayed for Saturday because thats the real con day but its alright I got to test drive my MBU-2 suit and get a bit of a con fix out of it.

I havent found to many pictures of me yet (you would think there would be alot since I was stopped every 10 feet to have my picture taken) but since I wasnt there for the whole con its to be expected. I found most of them on youtube and had to screenshot them since no one has replied to my comments asking for them... but its alright they still look good.

( Some Otakon 2009 Pics )

I also found this Video that has MBU-2 in it (called Scary Animal crossing Dude by the Person taking the video in the Info section.) Gives me a nice 3rd person View of what I look like walking around in the costume. the footage of me doesnt start untill about 1:57 it has some guy with a megaphone in the beginning and for the most part of the video. I hope to find more later but Im not expecting much.

my next post will be about Otakon I just need to round up some more pictures from people who took my picture. for now you get to enjoy 3:52 AM Brio.

HELLO ^__^ ! my name is 3:52 AM Brio I stay up late and have an itch to drive somewhere but places are closed and its dark out so Im stuck here till I fall asleep at around 5ish give or take 30 minutes.

(random non-existent yet still observant Voice): But 3:52 AM Brio, why stay up so late? Why don't you just shut your eyes and go to sleep?

3:52 AM Brio: well you see non-existent yet still observant voice if I try to go to sleep I end up laying in bed starring at the ceiling for about 40 minutes, get bored and come back to the game room. The normal functions of sleep don't occur due to the lack of signals from my over processed brain to tell my body its time to sleep. In laymen terms there is to much on my mind.

well it looks like I am all out of time. 4:00 AM "Now what!?" Brio is on his way. stay tuned for the Otakon 2009 experience photos and story. Goodnight folks.

*cheesy Music & end Credits*

ITS THE 4:00 AM "Now What!?" Brio Hour! and heres your host 4:00 AM "Now What!?" Brio!

(4:00 AM "Now What!?" Brio):... Now What!?

*Audience Laughter & Clapping*

(Static)
(Lost Signal)

so I woke up at noon because I am up all night till about 4:30 or so. Im trying to brake this but its not easy. I do my walk like normal but I forgot to eat afterwords and before I knew it, it was time for work.

I go to work and everyone is there in Dairy (typical for 90% of the team to work in the morning and then me be by myself). nothing to unusual until about 6:30. the stores new STL (manager) walks in and asks me hows it going. I say "not to bad just filling the milk". he then asks me if I have seen any good movies lately and I said "no I haven't been". he then says "word around the store is that you have been leaving while clocked in to go see movies at the theater down the street with your walkies to answer calls".

I stopped filling the milk just then and I was shocked at what I had just heard. Some one has started a Rumor about me. I say to him "I haven't heard about this and I find it disturbing that someone would spread such things around". he goes on to say that quite a number of fellow team members have confronted the LODs about this and also claim that my work performance is very poor. This just shocks and disgusts me even more because it is all lies.

after he leaves another team lead walks in and asks me to the front. I go to the HR office to talk with the HR guy and the team lead who asked me up. the start to talk to me about this rumor. They say that team members are claiming to have heard my Bragging about going to the movies with my walkie and not getting caught. I then explain to them that I cant leave to go see a movie without someone noticing the work not getting done in dairy. you have to fill the milk like every 2 hours.

The STL walks in by accident (or he made it look like he did it by accident)and then he says "is this the Movie Brian?" "what movie did you see?". I said "I didn't!" then he says "well you should have been bragging about it!". before I could say I wasn't he then say "you also arn't preforming well from what your co-workers are saying so your held for multiple accounts" (like hes some kind of cop or something). the team lead who brought me up told the STL that the Performance thing was on the Other "BrYan" and she then said that she has worked with me all this time and has never had a problem with my performance. so basically I got Chewed out on that performance thing simply because my name happens to be Brian.

The STL was very quick to jump on me being some kind of delinquent. this Guys attitude seems to be all about that its like he lives to see peoples head roll. If he has the chance to fire you he will then he will ask questions later. so he apologizes to me about the mix up but then he says this still is the "Movie Brian" as if asking if I am still in trouble for that. then he finally leaves.

I get asked more questions as to who I know who would spread such rumors or has something against me. I explain tot hem that I barely know anyone at that Target. I work alone because no one wants to work the dairy closing shift in the cold. I hardly talk to anyone in the brake room and the only people I do talk to are the dairy team members but its only for a short time and I haven't done anything to make someone hate me enough to do this.

The case still isn't settled they just had to get my side of the story. Im just very disturbed that something like this would even happen. I haven't done anything to anyone, I do my job (more than some wackjobs that work there for sure), I dont really talk to anyone because I am shy and I work in the dairy cooler where no one wants to go. the whole thing has given me a head ache and its making me very uncomfortable in going to work. The last thing I want to do is be around people or places where I am not wanted.

Its made me reluctant to going to Otakon because I would have to call out on Saturday and I think that would just make people more suspicious.

So here is what I have been working on in and out for the past month. Combined I would say it took 4 days for the whole thing. the Original Brio took about 3 days combined or at least from what I remember. this time the teeth added about a day. they were hard to sew in. ok enough typing time for Pictures.

( MBU-2 Pictures )

For those who Don't know (or haven't seen Crossing bound that has MBU-2 in it) MBU-2 Stands for Mecha Brio Unit 2 and the original Mecha Brio would be just MBU.

Otakon is next week and Im 60% sure Im going. at first I wasnt going to go because I had 2nd thoughts about place to stay and parking issues and Im paranoid about my car in Baltimore. But now that im finished with my MBU-2 costume I am Dying for a Public Test Drive and I can only do that at Cons (otherwise I am at risk of being arrested) Dont think anyone wants to see MBU-2 waving at traffic... even tho that would be SOOOO OSM. I am waiting on the details of the place to stay its either with my dad at sherys place or with sandy.

I will only be going Friday and Saturday and I will have to call out Saturday because I didn't ask for time off. its unfortunate That I can only wear one costume at at time. It would rock if both Brio and MBU-2 could interact at the con and it would help people see where MBU-2 comes from. DID I MENTION THE EPIC BATTLES BETWEEN BRIO AND MBU-2 WOULD BE OSM TO? but its ok as long as i can test drive it so I'll be ready for Animazement next year.

So thats it, this is why I haven't been available much online lately... that and other Mental blockades keeping me from enjoying the internet. Cant wait for the next Con I attend.

On Wednesday June 24, 2009 I departed for my 400+ Mile trip to Ocean City. The Beach where I used to venture during my previous Birthdays with my Grandfather... when he was alive. The plan was to camp at Assateague Island State park but unfortunately no lots were available. I thought to myself before I left "I don't need to reserve a spot, its the middle of the week hardly anyone is gonna be there." WRONG! Strike 1 for the trip.

So I called my mom where she called her sister to inform her of the situation. I was able to stay at the condo but Bonie was already staying there and she didn't like the idea of me intruding on her vacation, despite this being an emergency and the fact that she was staying there for free and shouldn't complain. when I arrived she didn't seem bothered I guess a phone call from sandy changed her view on the situation seeing as I am the Nephew of the owner of the condo.

On Thursday June 25, 2009 I turned 22. My Birthday was spent going to the boardwalk were I played some arcade games just like I used to and walked around. I later got some beer for my aunts fridge as thanks for when they were to arrive the day after I leave. and swam and relaxed by the Ocean and enjoyed the sand.

Overall I would give my 22nd B-day a 5 1/2 out of 10. being ok compared to the 1 3/4 out of 10 I had for my 21st and 3 for my 18th, this was barely passing, but Im glad it was that and nothing worse.

And now the ( Pictures )

It wasn't so bad given the circumstances but thinking on it... maybe i would have been better of staying home and buying myself a present or something... dunno I Like the beach anyways XD

I'll inform people of my slight B-day/Vacation once Ive gathered the info and junk later... maybe this Wednesday.

so yea Im going to the Beach (finally since the weather looks OK and its just OK) gonna sleep for a few hours then get up and drive to DC then Drive to OC. most people would take the bay bridge tunnel and go up the Delmarva peninsula but the toll is $13 ONE WAY and another $13 back. Thats over a full tank of gas for me wasting a good 300+ miles I could use with a fill up just to cross a damn bay and save 200 miles going around. if I wasn't in my smart then yes I would pay that but its actually more efficient for me to go the long way than cut through (MPG > $26 toll) Plus I love Driving on Route 50 very nostalgic.

I'll keep this short I should be sleeping up while I can. Im going camping since the condo is out of the question and Im spending my B-day there because I don't want to have another Crappy Birthday like I have been having for the past 4 years. so talk to ya'll when I get back.
