I haven’t updated this site in forever..I do apologize.. work and new hobbies seem to occupy all my time. Well lets update you on my life shall we? What better way of doing this than to upload all my camera phone pictures and explain them, haha.

I picked up an HTC Evo friday. 4.3″ HD screen, 1ghz snapdragon processor, thin, light, and Android powered.

I had to switch companies howver, because ATT is still not offering good android phones. Hello sprint.

So I invited a bunch of people out last night to go on a sunset ride.. Only ONE showed up..

We went anyway.. right as we left the parking lot 3 other people honked at us and waved. Well we were going the opposite direction and were going to get gas. After we fueled up we tried to find out where they went but couldn’t find them.

Surprisingly we ran into them again on the opposite side of town. We joined them and a group of 9. It actually turned out to be really cool and it was the first time I went out riding with fellow sport bike riders. I really wish I would have brought my cameras, but I promised I would next time.

Heres the images I was able to capture.

Interesting right? Apparently a good keyword to find me is “paul cooper elvis” since I did a webpage for a elvis impersonator. I sent a reply.. we will see if I made a new friend via dream machine.

Help me decide!

Chrome Or Black. Leave your opinion in the comments!

So I got myself a new toy today. I got a 2002 Suzuki RM250 for trail riding around these parts. Its an attempt to get out more and be more active instead of sitting at my computer almost everyday.

I saw the bike on craigslist for $1800 and for a 2002, 250cc bike its a great deal. Alot of the bikes I was looking for had 125cc which is good, but I wanted something with a bit more beef for later on.

I saw the bike, had the guy start it and ride it, and when he asked if I wanted to ride it, I kindly said no thank you… you see this is my first dirtbike of that speed and size and I didnt want to mess it up the first chance I got.

I haggled for a bit and ended up walking away with the bike for $1650. He tells me the engine is very freshly rebuilt, and I just had to take him on his word for it.

On the way home from picking up the bike I stopped at RTD motorsports to price out helmets. He asked what I had and I told him I just bought the bike and was looking for a entry helmet. He set me up with a nice little helmet and goggles and asked about my bike again at checkout. Turns out the engine was indeed rebuilt, and it was rebuilt by somone who works at the motorcycle shop. Good to know!

I got the bike home, and being the visual person I am, I knew I had to do something about the rust on the muffler. It was driving me nuts.

It was pretty rusty, but its a normal thing since its a bare metal pipe and dirtbikes are meant to go through anything.

Surprising the bike comes apart really easy. The muffler is attached with springs and the plastics are very easy to get off.

Look how bad it was:

I sanded it down and painted it from a tree…it had just rained so I took it inside and ran a heat lamp and a hair drying through the exaust to heat the pipe and bake the paint on.

I then reattched it to the bike, and I can say it looks much much better.

Before

After

Self-Confidence

As someone with high self-confidence, you feel quite comfortable interacting with other people. Indeed, you find the company of others very stimulating and enjoy meeting new people. Your relaxed demeanor in groups makes people around you comfortable too. Perhaps because you feel comfortable talking about yourself, others tend to enjoy being around you and perceive you as socially competent.

The confidence that helps you feel comfortable talking to people also spills into your own personal beliefs about yourself. Although you have several strengths, it’s likely that you also acknowledge and accept your weaknesses. But unlike some people, you take full responsibility for your actions—you rarely regret things you’ve done in the past and are not embarrassed easily.

Perhaps the defining feature that sets you apart from most people is the exceptionally high standards that you set for yourself. Your competence in social gatherings as well as at work should provide ample evidence for this. With these characteristics, it’s very likely that people come to you for advice and generally think of you as someone with leader-like qualities.

Family Orientation

As someone who is oriented to familial matters, you value the company of family-members and domestic life. If you have children already, you enjoy spending time with them very much and work hard to be a good parent. If you don’t have children, you very much desire having children in the future. And your preference for cooking and entertaining guests at home will likely ease the transition into parenthood.

You take pride in maintaining and cultivating a healthy family and work hard to achieve this. This natural tendency is easily illustrated by your preference for doing things around the house as opposed to going out to clubs and restaurants.

What really sets you apart from people that are low in family orientation is that you know how to manage your frustrations and work well on your own. This means that you are well-equipped to manage a family without letting all the work that is involved wear you down. However, as someone with strong family values, all the work that is involved in maintaining a tidy home and well-stocked kitchen might occasionally make it difficult for you to finish everything that you need to do.

Self-Control

The self-control personality dimension captures the way in which a person regulates and directs him or herself. Being low in self-control can be both good and bad. Occasionally people may be compelled to follow their intuitions and give in to their temptations, and your degree of self-control makes this likely to happen more often than not. This can be good in circumstances where being relaxed and open are important. However, in situations where it is necessary to be focused and careful, you might find that you do or say things that may be inappropriate.

As someone who exerts little control over your actions, you may find that you commit social blunders that might offend other people and get yourself in trouble. For example, if you’re given responsibility to work on a project that requires close attention to detail, you may be likely to overlook important details because you have difficulty staying focused. Consequently, you might feel more comfortable delegating such tasks to other people who are more detail oriented. Being able to recognize such characteristics in yourself and having more detail-oriented people do such tasks could be an effective way to manage your own stress level.

Low self-control may diminish your effectiveness at work. Acting too relaxed can make it difficult for you to focus on projects that require organized sequences of steps or stages. Thus, your ability to accomplish may be inconsistent. Indeed, it’s possible that you might be criticized periodically for being unreliable or unable to “stay within the lines.” Nonetheless, you may still experience many short-lived pleasures and never be thought of as boring.

Openness

As someone high in openness, you have a strong appreciation for beauty, both in art and nature. Indeed, it’s likely that you are easily absorbed in music and art, as well as natural phenomena. Another aspect of your openness is your emotional insight; that is, you probably have good access to and awareness of your own emotions.

Another aspect of the openness dimension is the tendency to think about abstract concepts and ideas. This thinking style may take the form of artistic and metaphorical use of language, and/or music composition or performance. Thus, it is likely that, either in your work or spare time, you enjoy activities that get your “creative juices” flowing.

Your tendency to be open-minded can have advantages and disadvantages. For instance, when there are no clear rules about how to approach a particular problem, your openness makes it easier for you to identify new ways to solve problems that might not be very obvious to people that are not as open as you are. In contrast, you may be bored easily in situations that lack high amounts of intellectual stimulation. In such cases, you might have difficulty excelling on projects that do not provide much stimulation or require much creative thinking.

Easygoingness

Easygoingness refers to one’s ability to relax. Based on your score, you appear to “take things as they come” and enjoy having a good time. However, being high in easygoingness also has the potential to produce stress in a number of ways. For example, you may find it difficult to complete tasks thoroughly and efficiently. In this way, being high in easygoingness cannot only make your life difficult, but also the lives of the people around you. Another potential problem with being too high in easygoingness is that it can provide you with gratification in the short-term, but in the long-term provide undesirable consequences.

High easygoingness, even when not seriously destructive, may also diminish your effectiveness at work, for example. You may find it aversive and difficult to put in all the effort that may sometimes be needed to effectively accomplish certain tasks. For this reason, your colleagues might view you as forgetful and unfocused.

How does your personality affect your love life?

With the strong degree of self-confidence that you possess, it’s no surprise that you get along well with most people. Indeed, it’s self-confidence that allows people to feel comfortable interacting with others without feeling insecure and vulnerable. For this reason, you shouldn’t have much difficulty in romance, at least not initially. Your social skills will likely help relieve any anxiety your romantic partners might have on those first few dates. However, over time, the high standards that you have for yourself could potentially frustrate your partner.

Given how much you value family life, you probably get along best with people who share your values and beliefs. In fact, it’s likely that you maintain close connections with members of your immediate and distant family. For this reason, you would probably be most satisfied in a romantic relationship with someone who also values domestic life.

Being in a relationship with someone who enjoys going out to parties and staying-up late at night might be fun, at least initially; yet it’s likely that you will find this tiring over time. Thus, it might be easier and more satisfying for you to develop a long-lasting relationship with a person who also enjoys spending time at home and desires starting a family. On first dates, perhaps you might suggest to your partner that the two of you spend a quiet night having dinner at one of your respective homes instead of going out to a restaurant or club.

As someone who is more relaxed than most people, you likely get along with most people quite well. Chances are that your friends and colleagues perceive you as lively, fun to be with, and good-humored. When it comes to romance, you’ll likely be attracted to most people. However, your free-spirited nature might make being in a relationship with a person that is more rigid than you difficult because you might perceive the person as being too uptight and controlling.

Your openness probably makes it easy for you to respect and appreciate people that are different from you. However, when it comes to romantic relationships, your openness might make it difficult for you to tolerate people that cannot appreciate diversity as much as you. Therefore, you may be happiest in serious relationships with people that share your open-mindedness. But, your openness might occasionally cause a certain degree of dependency on your end because you may be so open that you easily adopt the preferences and habits of your partners and gradually relinquish things that make you so unique.

I am finally back from MML8. In case you didn’t know (most of you) MML8 is a lanparty. A lanparty is a place for computer gamers to get together and play in tournaments and meet others.

I went with a group of 6 and myself. We stayed in a convention center for 4 days and a shady hotel during the day since the gaming and stuff was mostly at night.

The “leeching” game was the most popular there.. everyone was sharing full movies, tv series and other things for others to steal…bad pirates.

We also played in tournaments…most we didnt wake up early enough to participate in. We even won a tournament..Dodge ball to be exact. I walked away with ddr3 ram that I cant use, since My personal computer doesnt support it (its too new.) I am going to sell it for $150 on ebay, so it payed for the trip.

Got some gaming done, and most importantly played destination unknown on my projector a bunch of times…If you dont know what destination unknown is….

And now its pics time!
