| And now for some pictures I took at the Atlantic City Classic Car Show:
If I could own any classic car it would be a 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham:
Or a 1993 Sedan DeVille:
I would love to have a 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. I'd look so cool in one of those!:
This 1981 DeLorean has a 3-Speed Automatic Transmission; but no Flux Capacitor, no Mr. Fusion, and no Hover Conversion:
This awesome license plate was in the front of 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner:
Here we have two Roadrunners; a 1968 GTX and the Roadrunner himself!:
And finally Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner in a 1969 Roadrunner:
I hope you've enjoyed these photo-filled auto-related journals. See ya later and drive safely. | comments: Leave a comment   |
| Man! How long's it been since I've updated this? Anyway, here's some pictures I took at the Philadelphia Auto Show and the Atlantic City Classic Car Show:
First: The Philadelphia Auto Show. As much as I love going each year, I can't help but feel sad when I'm there because there are so many cars I want but can't afford like this Chevrolet Impala:
Or this GMC Sierra Ext Cab Pick-up:
Or even this Toyota Corolla. Yes, I want one of those too!
But aside from me pining over new cars, there were some other things I saw that were cool. Like this Mitsubishi Lancer EVO from the DUB show:
And this 1991 Pontiac Firebird from the Cinnaminson, NJ Police Department's D.A.R.E. Program:
They even had a Monopoly-themed test track where you can test drive Toyota Hybrid cars:
Finally, wouldn't it be cool to have this in your rec room?
That's it for now. Stay tuned; I'm gonna make another entry very shortly featuring pics from the Atlantic City Car Show. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Today I turn 31 years old. Not much has changed. I'm still broke...Still living at home...Still driving the same crappy car...Still single...Still a virgin.
But you know; In spite of everything I'm still happy to be here. Still alive...Still employed...Still furry. There is a positive side to all this. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| | For those of wondering where I've been, I'm still here. I just haven't been updating as often. If you wanna know what I've been up to, just go to my FurAffinity page. I've been doing more journal updates there than here. I do check on my friends entries from time to time. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Man, how long has it been since I've updated this thing?
Oh well, on to the report. First of all MFM was awesome! In spite of a few problems, I still had a good time. Before I continue let's get all the drama out of the way first.
First, my laptop screen got busted. It's partially my fault. I should've brought it with me on the plane instead of leaving it in my suitcase. I've seen the way those guys handle luggage! However; once I got back home I bought a VGA cable so as of now my laptop is looked up to my TV.
Second, remember how I kept saying that I should get laid after all the trouble I went through trying to get to the con? (refer to http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2628924/) Well...sadly that didn't happen. I got no action that weekend. The only good thing about that is I break the stereotype about what happens at fur cons. So the sexual frustration continues.
Okay...now that the drama is out of the way. Let's continue. MFM was a great con. Very well put together. I got to meet with friends, hang out with people, bought stuff in the dealer room, got a sketchbook commission, and got some artwork done. (All which will be uploaded on my FA page soon)
Bucktown Tiger was the guest of honor this year. He's a really cool guy in person. Bought his latest CD. You should get it!
My biggest highlight of the weekend was...I got to perform stand-up in the masquerade! I did alright. People walked up to me and told me that. I always get more praise in fur cons than in comedy clubs. Weird, huh?
To summarize; Mephit Fur Meet 15. Awesome con! I did stuff, bought stuff, drew stuff, ate food. You know, the usual.
One final note: My friend![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=91.7) saizaku and his family are planning on moving down south by early next year. He wants to go to an animation school in Florida while his parents want to start a business in the Memphis area. I sure hope things work out for them. They deserve a better life. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| Here's my sorta basic day-by-day breakdown of my Anthrocon trip.
Thursday: Got done my shift at NAPA at 12:30. captroo from Medford picked me up from work. Drove to Chester and picked up another passenger. Around 6:45 PM we arrived in Pittsburgh. Checked myself in the Omni William Penn Hotel.(It was my very first time staying in that hotel. Nice Place!) Azrael_the_white was my roommate. Got my AC registration. Had pizza for dinner with some friends.
Friday: Picked up a badge from Clementine. Found tabbiewolf in the artist alley. We did an art trade.(Will be posted on FA soon) Performed at the Comedy Open-Mic panel. I did alright. Had a cheesesteak from Cory's for dinner.
Saturday: Worked on some art in the Zoo. Visited the ToonSeum for the first time. Definitely worth checking out! Had a lasagna wrap from Furnando's for dinner. Not bad actually!
Sunday: Finished my art trade with Tabbie. After closing ceremonies I had dinner at the Golden Palace Chinese Buffet. Then I just wondered around until after midnight.
Monday: Left Pittsburgh around 11:00 AM. It took us a while to get home because of an accident on the PA Turnpike.
To summarize; I had an awesome time. I bought stuff, drew stuff, met with friends, and just had fun. Now *yawns* I need some sleep. I gotta go back to work tomorrow. | | comments: Leave a comment |

Guess that's everything. Tomorrow I'm off to Pittsburgh for Anthrocon. Right after my shift at NAPA, a friend will be picking me at work. I'm really looking forward to this weekend. I really could use a break from work. I only took off Friday and Monday from my NAPA job; but I've got a long vacation from UPS. I took off Thursday and Friday as personal days and the following week is one of my two weeks vacation. (The other week off will be in September during Mephit Fur Meet).
For those of you going to AC, have a safe trip and I'll see you guys there! | | comments: Leave a comment |
| I'm having trouble upload my photos on my FA page, so I'll load 'em here. There's only 2 of them:
Whoa! Single rainbow all the way! This was taken from the 8th story window of the hotel where the con suite was.
Me and Flash and KP and Ezra. Photo of me with the Guest of Honor KuddlePup and Ezra from the Funday Pawpet Show.
It was a fun con. I hung out with people, worked on some art, and was glad the so-called "rapture" didn't happen. I was busy enough last weekend. The last thing I wanted to deal with was Judgement Day!
Well so much for last weekend; now for this weekend. Sunday's the NJ Fur BBQ. Monday I'm off from work. Looking forward to sleeping in! | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Okay, here's what I planned to do this weekend; if all goes well.
Friday: After work I go home, shower and change, then head off to FA:United 4 in Mount Laurel.
Saturday: Attend Men's Breakfast at the church, help out dad with the church clean-up for about an hour, spend rest of the day at FA:United.
Sunday: Go to church, cut Grandma's lawn
A Few Notes: On Friday my shift ends at around 12:30. Considering how long it takes me to drive home, change, and drive back up to Mount Laurel I should be there by 3:00 at the latest. Unless my grandfather calls me after work and tells me I can bring in my car. I need to get the oil changed. It's not a big deal. I can wait another hour. As for Sunday; it's the only day I'll be able to cut my grandparent's lawn. It might rain again during the week.
I have no idea what's going to happen. For me things are always changing at the last minute. As always; let's see what happens. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| ...since I've updated this.
Anyway not too much is going. I'm still working at my jobs(4 years at UPS, 1 full year at NAPA); still trying to make plans for the summer; mostly Anthrocon and Mephit Fur Meet.
By the way; I got my employee evaluation at NAPA today. It was very positive. I've never gotten one before. The managers told me they were happy to have me. I told them I liked working there and have very little to complain about. I hope it keeps up. | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
