Returning to school

So I am here at working, wondering why I don't really like work. When it dawns on me, that I don't don't like work, I just don't like where I am working within the company that I work for.

So with that revelation taken care of, I decided to talk to my OM and find out how I can get work to pay for my continued school. turns out it is pretty easy, so now, all I have to do is go to the College, in this case OIT, and find out what I need to do, to get a B.S. in engineering.

I figure that once I have a B.S. in engineering, I can start to BS to people about engineering. Plus it might help me get some pay raises and such...who knows.

2nd part of Zombie survival.

So as one of my 1st post went over was zombie survivial, in this update we will be looking at what type of weapons you will want.

Melee weapons:

Club - Baseball bat, Cricket Bat, Crowbar, Expandable baton, or a normal police baton.


Firearms:

Pistols - this is personal preferance, but you either have a revolver, or semi-auto pistols

Shotguns - you have a selection to choose from, Double Barrel, tactical pump action, hunting pump action, semi-auto shotguns.

Rifles - You have your hunting rifles, and you have your semi-auto rifles. This is really up to you on what you have, or can get a hold of.

Ammunition:

Pistols - you will most likely be looking at 9mm, 40s&w, 44cal. pretty much get/ or find what ever you can that will fit the pistol you get.

Shotgun - normally you will want 12 or 10 gauge buckshot, or 12/10 gauge slug. although there are some specialty rounds out there, like : Flechette, Dragon's Breath, SCMITR

Rifle - This is similiar to that of the pistol, 5.56mm, .223 Rem, or what ever will fit what you have.

Just a note that in case of a zombie attack, you will be wanting to shoot the head, so realistically a shotgun will be a better choice for those not use to firearms, pistols should be a last resort weapon, just because of the chances to miss is higher for those untrained. a rifle is better for range, and would be best with a scope, but the scope needs to be sighted in with the rifle to actually be good at hitting something. your melee weapons should be your true last measure, just because of the closeness that you have to be to the zombie, and that it is still a unknown on whether zombies will be moving slow or able to move fast.

more to come sometime

Totally forgot

So I made the post about what has been up with me lately, and I totally forgot about the concert that I went to recently.

Back story - get a call from my brother asking if I wanted to go to a concert on Wednesday night, and as you might not know I work wednesday night. So of course I go ahead and say sure, and take half the night off to go see a some music groups that I have never heard of before. Now, how did my brother end up with a extra ticket, you might not be asking yourself, well a good friend of his was going to be going, but because of work, he couldn't and I instead got to go.

Now the concert was at Wonder Ballroom in Portland, and the groups that were playing that night was Basia Bulat as the open act, and DeVotchKa as the main act. Now I must say, my music tastes are pretty open, and both these acts were great, I will be looking forward to when they both come back to Portland. If you have seen them, then you know what I am talking about, and if you haven't, you really need to see them. Music was great, good beat, lyrics hard to understand, but what's new at concerts.

I did find out that the Basia Bulat's ukulele player, Holly Rancher, has started a blog, and it is a pretty good read. She eats things from gas station stores that normal people wouldn't even try. Although I must not be normal, because I would or have tried some of the food she has tried.

So that is pretty much the only other stuff that has happened to me, I am still trying to get to a day shift job, and always look forward to when my brother or sister-in-law, invite me out to a concert of a group I have never heard of before.

Some more updates about whats happening in my life

So, nothing really big has happened since my last post about what has happened. I am still talking to Jules, at least twice a day, frustrated that may 17th hasn't come yet, nervous about meeting Jules for the first time. So, I am pretty much a happy nervous wreck, that still manages to operate normally.

I did find out yesterday that I am once again a possible match in a Bone Marrow donor program through the DoD. I was notified yesterday, and I have agreed to get blood draw on Tuesday to find out if I am the best match. If I am, I get to travel to Washington D.C. on 2 separate dates, the first to do a physical, and the 2nd to donate bone marrow. I am both scared and honored, the scared because I know it will hurt like a SOB, and the honored because I would be saving someones life.

I will keep you updated on how this works out.

btw, my zombie shirt still hasn't shown up, I am a little sad, because I want to wear it.
