Title: i had a "fun" summer
Post by: skorpion on August 05, 2011, 11:33:21 PM
yup i had a "fun" summer this year. nothing but rain in june, heat in july and moving once again in august. i think this was the worst summer yet.  :bhead would have rather gone out and partied with my friends but almost every single one of them headed off to miami or hawaii or some other place. i went to 6 flags and thats it. so, how was your summer?

No trip to Six Flags (or anywhere else).  I worked when work was available, in the heat.  Now work has slowed to a trickle.  Maybe I will make enough to survive the winter.  A lot of people are much worse off.  You sure got a raw deal.  I shall pray that you will be partying with your friends in Hawaii soon.

Yep, I was going to say I spent my summer working full time and part time at another job.  No fun but I'm happy to be getting the paycheck.

oshkosh is a boring town. EAA is done with and all the other places i could apply for are "to far away". my mom doesnt want me going more than 2 miles, and that 2 miles ends right at the bridge leading downtown.

Gee...somehow I can't just seem to be able to fathom any sort of sympathy for your lack of a fun summer.  Maybe because with all things considering, your summer wasn't all that bad after all.  I mean, you could have had major surgery, had that gone wrong which required more surgery which again went wrong and be laid up unable to do anything with no real end in sight. 

Yep, be thankful that you really didn't have that crappy of a summer after all.

You'll eventually really miss the summers you get to be home all the time.

I also can't have any sympathy for you not being able to find a job.  You're telling me that Oshkosh has only a single business in the 12.5 square miles around your house?

Went to Oahu, went and dove a F4U off of Waikiki, and was able to sit it the cockpit after coaxing out a Moray. Paid my respects at Pearl Harbor for my Grandfather's cousin who was on the USS West Virginia during the attack (dove overboard right before it got hit and survived) Also been working full time to have enough to pay for school this year, and cursing my younger brother for having everything for school paid for him.

Well......Airventure is alot of fun. I'm kinda jealous you got to go, atleast you got to see some cool stuff out there.

As for me..... I've been doing some flying and finally got a jerb in early july (Out at the airport, imagine that?) They told me if I was gonna be out there all the time they might as well put me to work. I've had a pretty good summer, my only complaint is the heat......but.......thats Texas for you.

80+ hour weeks.

No time to watch my kids play sports.

No time to fish.

No time to do anything but work, eat and sleep.

Actually, it was a pretty awesome summer considering that I'm looking forward to the same routine for the next few years.

Enjoy your youth.

EDIT: And of course, no time for AH.  :furious

I had to request the weekend off a month in advance because a friend of ours is getting married and the big "pre-wedding" bash is tomorrow.

Wedding is on the 20th.

Won't see another day off until Thanksgiving.

But, I must say that after the 2 years laid off, I'm loving life at the moment.

I had five separate Hospitalizations. One of which they kept the crash cart right outside my ICU room and I had a priest give me last rights.

But God decided to give me another chance. Nobody should go a day without telling the people they love, "I Love you". And never fail to teach kids how precious life is.

But all in all its a summer I'd much rather forget.

Wish I had pictures of it, but the camera box had a very small crack in the case and it completely collapsed when we reached about 80-90 ft. The corsair was at about 105 ft. so it made for a shorter dive than normal (Most of my dives are around 50-40ft.)

Hmm...

-->Volunteered at a music camp, played viola and violin. 28.5 of 40 hours complete :D
-->Volunteered at a church thing--helped little kids out
--> Chilled at home for a week or so, played bagpipes, some tuba, started working on a trombone concerto sort of thing.
-->Went camping for a few days with my mum, dad, 3 siblings. Saw a bear, a moose, and a bunch of deer.
-->Home again (this is now)for a week, going out on Monday with my girlfriend, walking downtown oakville, the Lakeshore... :)
-->Might try and convince her to go to see Harry Potter 7, 2.0
--> Going whitewater canoeing in a week, doing the Spanish river.
-->All of this was interspersed with busking opportunities, weddings, a couple of funerals, all of which I made money-- $100-ish a pop :D Playing bagpipes/violin/viola.

It's been pretty good, actually.

Now that everyone is done looking down on and reprimanding Skoprion, how was everyone else's summer?

I'm not quite awake. My apologies :o EDIT: On behalf of my friend. :bhead Not the most mature person I know.

About the battle scene at the end, was it accurate? I've heard pessimistic stories about them getting the placing of things wrong, but I don't believe they would mess up the last movie so badly.
Title: Re: i had a "fun" summer
Post by: Raphael on August 07, 2011, 12:14:45 AM
apologies accepted :D

about the movie... well actually i hate most of the movies and love the books, i like the first movie and after that things got bad imo the 4th is the worst!
the bad thing is that in the movies they mess with the stories, but crappy scripts, simply delete a lot of characters (important ones, read book 4), and well they just delay a lot of stuff, and in the books one of the cool thing about the writer is that she is great at making one thing result in another aaaaand since they mess one thing in the movie it just screws up the story in the following movie so it is like a snowball and it gets big. it is always the job of the next director to fix up the sh*t the previous one did.

what i think is that this last part was incridebly good actually so the movies i liked are the first and this last one. as you can see the MOST important thing in all the 7 books is the simple colour of the eyes of the main character, the colour of the eye is simply the reason all the story exists, aaaand they simply made it wrong in the first movie and wel... this last one tried to fix that deperatly wich wasn't that bad. well there are many stupid things that make the story sound to silly in every movie but this one (finally) put a smile on my face! :D
