BACK!
after driving around w/o a bumper for about a day and a half.
My bumper is back on with fresh honda paint..
just missing season 6..
which is on the way….. MUAHAHAHAHAHA
thanks to Half.com… i own all of the Family guy DVDs..
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
So i go over to my aunt’s house to install a Wireless printer.. I originally parked on the driveway. i paralleled it at the bottom. I had to move to let my aunt out. She went to go get my brother and cousin from a basketball game at their school. I moved the car to in front of their front lawn. In the road..
that was a BIG MISTAKE.
at 10:55pm my alarm goes off, and I run out side. For those of you who don’t know, I’m pretty paranoid about my car. The alarm is blaring and there is this black 2008 Sentra pulling in to the driveway in front of my aunts.. He gets out and I yell ” yo WTF? I just got this bumper painted!”.. He starts yelling at me because I’m supposedly not supposed to park in the street, and he goes on about how the Management of the complex ( Viscaya) is always bitching at him for doing the same. So he starts going on about how his car is 3 months old and its a lease, and how my car is in the road. He basically was calling my car a old piece of shit.
He asks if I’m going to call the cops, and i said yes, so he proceeds to hand me his phone.. its the one that flips out to make a T.. well I bust out my iPhone, and proceed to call the cops 
..
he goes into his house and gets his girlfriend or wife . w.e. she is she tried to negotiate with me.. She was like “oh insurance is not going to cover that because it doesn’t meet your deductable”.. ect ect.. So i told her want $250 cash and I’ll fix it.. The dude gets angry and takes two steps towards me.. his girl holds him back and they start cussing in Spanish.. They get into an argument and he calms down.
Then he starts to tell me about how he worked for Telemundo for 4 years doing props for the novellas ( soap operas) and how he had to deal with all sorts of fancy cars.. Then he starts listing.. Mercedes, Range Rover, Ferrari… ect.. then he starts telling me about how one time some one crashed into the corvette that they were using, and how he took it to his friend that takes care of high end cars.. and proceeds to list all the fancy cars he seen at they guys shop.. blah blah blah.. what i herd was the same b.s. that every1 says when they crash into a car, and is trying not to get the cops called , or not get their insurance to get involved.. i told him that i have my own people and when my dad gets here we can sort this out.
The officer shows up and starts talking.. We explained the situation and the Sentra dude starts talking Spanish, and shit.. So I didn’t understand. Then the officer pulls me aside and explains that I’m illegally parked and that is both of our faults. ect. ect.. and how if he sends the report to Tallahassee, it’s going to make my insurance go up ect.. I told him to talk to my dad.. My dad came up and said he wanted the report..
My dad brought my rebel from the house and I took pics of both cars. i was rocking the 28 – 135 zoom lens and the battery grip. The officer asked me about the camera and if I was a pro.. I told him I was an amateur and how do little things on the side as a hobby.. He states that his wife wants to get into it. So I suggested taking a class at Miami Dade.. and he said “yea I’m going to think about it.”.
We waited like 12 minutes for the guy to write the report and do checks on both of our licenses.. Then I shook the officers hand and handed him one of my cards… and explained that i fixed computers… and told him thanks and to have a nice night..
Here are the pics.. The damage isn’t bad. Both cars need the bumper repainted.. if I really want spend another $300 I’ll buy a new bumper, due to the fact that I’m OCD and my car has to look perfect all the time.. But hopefully it’s a quick fix.
Stepping it up!
So on my rebel, when i have my 28 – 135 IS zoom lens on, the camera is hella heavy.. well compaired to the puny 18-55 that it came with.. the lens it self is heavy, so it makes the camera uncomfortable to hold… so i was told to get a battery grip. Canon sells these things for $202 .. i got mine for $80 from some dude i met on JDMSouth.com
now i look official.. ( note the ball head under the lens is to hold it up.. its very front heavy)
Madagascar 2
so today consisted of leaving java class early to have lunch with a female, then facebooking through forensic science class.. after school i headed over to Sunset Place to meet up with Shash, Steph, Sean and Linda… Since the original Madagascar was hillarious, and a pretty good hit we decide to go see the sequel….
the movie wasnt as good as we expected. its not as good as the original, but thats how it is all the time… there will proboably be a third installment of this flick.. Go see it if you havent, its a decent film to take a chick to .. or your cuzin .. idk w.e. your into.. I still got a few laughs outta the movie..
next on the list is Quantum of Solace and Transporter 3

Max Payne SUCKED!
spiced up with CGI and all that crap… the movie sucks.. dont bother wasting $10 and 1.5 hrs of your time
it’s cold!!!!
so after about 20 hours of combined labor and head aches… I FIXED MY A/C! with the help of Neil and Lamar of K&N Foreign auto in Cutler ridge. After my accident ( july 3rd) my a/c never worked… Neil figured out that the A/C clutch coil was faulty. so we ordered that… and lamar and I didnt put it on properly. the coil is this sardine can / doughnut lookin thing with two wires coming outta the botom. it sits on the the body of the compressor, and the input shaft passes through the middle of teh coil… and the flywheel / pulley slides over the coil. well the coil is supposed to lock onto a stud on the compressor , well when we re-assembled the compressor it didnt lock.
when i fired up the car, the coil spun with the flywheel and the power wire was damaged. hence why it was shorting out. we repaired the wire, and put everything back together. and i had to vacuum the system… which takes 1 hr to get all the air outta the lines. i had to do it twice.. lol… but it fukin works!!!!! bwahahahahahhaha..
I also fixed my passenger mirror. I’m getting the windows tinted tomorrow at Wheels Boutique 2. after that the Ebay JDM window visors go on…
last weekend
plans were to go to the beach, but it rained the whole fuckin time, so we went bowling …..
bellsouth sucks
for the past 2 months, my bellsouth dsl has been cutting out. it disconnects for maybe 30 seconds and reconnects. it does it about every 5 – 30 minz. its hella random. ive had to call bellsouth’s tech support line over 4 times this month. most of the calls were over 2 hrs long. they even send out a technician to the house. the tech was some spanish dude, that plugged in his laptop to my modem and check the soccer stats… he told me that my modem was hot( sits ontop of my linksys router)… which i called b.s. on… so he moved it. he said that could cause it. packed up his shit and left… what great help..
i leave my AIM on so it tells me when the connection goes down and comes back up( aim auto reconnect).. so i have a log of when it happens. my router and modem are on their own battery back up. so there is no way that the power is affecting it…. 2 hrs after he left, it did its fuckery again… almost 20 times… from 5pm – 9pm it must have dissconnected atleast 20 times…
follow the photographer
i dont know if many of you, ive learned almost all of my photography skills from warren, aka fortune.

Tire death!
so as most of you know i work for a catering company. well we were going to an event in West palm beach ( 64 miles away ) and today was my first time driving the Box truck….. like this one
well 6 miles down I-95.. the front tire decides to explode and shred to pieces…. just after we drove to the mechanic’s shop to get air in the rear tires. The mechanic told us that the rear tire was Dry rotten and needed to be replaced…. due to lots of curb hopping and carrying over 2 tons of crap all over miami… the tires just wear out… well i was in the far left lane, and when it exploded i let the truck roll to 10 mph, and i slowly had to work with traffic to make it to the emergency lane on the right side…. we called a tow truck and they had to come get us…
