Tonight is indeed racenight. So pack up your kids, bring a couple cold ones and head on down to formula kartways and watch some good ole racing action. With the offical launch of Monday Night Racing we'll get a few people trying to break Stu's record of fastest man alive.
****Updated Race Lineup****
In:
Stu - hasn't won in 2 races, but is still improving each time out.
Boost Monkey - Last time he won the mullet was a cool hair style.
Talon Boy - Still trying to find out which pedal is gas and which is break.
Uzo - It'd be great if he actually showed up --- and on time.
Sw0rdFish - Don't question this man's heart. He'll be there tonight.
Questionable:
DarkPhoenix - If he can find the race track he might be able to battle for third place.
Doubtful:
UltraCaker - Claims he's good, but hasn't shown any potential.
Out:
The Professor - the new laughing stock of the racing series. Ever since Sw0rdFish burst onto the scene The Professor seems to be taking lessons on how to avoid a challenge. Hasn't won before and doesn't look like he'll ever win.

Woohoo, LIONS WIN, LIONS WIN!!!! I'll have some pics up later (hopefully mlive.com will have the pics up soon. But until that happens, why not read the message boards to see how stupid some fans can be. First start off with a trip to New Orleans where you'll be treated to pre game super bowl talk, followed by post game team bashing. Next on the tour is a trip to Chicago (Uzo's favorite team by the way) for a round of this team has reverted back to it's losing ways. Finnaly our tour will take us to Detroit where the pre-game talk was all about how bad they'll lose and what draft picks to get, to post game playoff talk and how Joey Harrington is the second comming of Joe Montana.
Got a favorite team that you want to find a message board for? I'll post a link to the Minnesota Vikings message board tommrow, and a link to our opponents message board the Monday before the Lions play them.

The upgrade puzzle is begining to be pieced together albeit slowly. In addition to getting the Radeon 8500 LE video card, my motherboard seems to be MSI KT4 Ultra. Canada Computers has it listed for $138. I'm going to call them tommrow because the price seems a little too good to be true. I'll probably add in 256MB of RAM for now (until I get a job/donation/win a football pol) in which case I'll get 512. Today the CPU is a Athlon XP 1900+ but that's changed from a 1700 2 days ago and an 1800 yesterday.
Tommrow I hope to decide on a case. I got no clue what I want. Only requirement is that it's not freakashly loud because it'll be placed close to a TV and there is nothing that I hate more than a loud computer next to my TV.

For those who haven't heard yet, I'm ready to upgrade my computer. Yes it's time to ditch the POS system I have and get something good for myself because I deserve it. So with the money that I have made from this site $0.00, I plan on investing it at 100% interest. That leaves me with $0.00...DOH, I should have taken that penny Boost Monkey offered me.
Anyways, I plan on spending roughly $500-$700 on upgrades and getting a new motherboard, processor, video card and case. Any suggestions on the best way to go about it? I'm going AMD all the way and probably a Radeon 8500LE 128mb to keep costs down on the video end (I can always upgrade later).

YGRL action was fast last night. On a slippery track that caused less experienced drivers many troubles, Sw0rdFish squeaked out a win by the slimmest of margins over Stu. Lap times for the top 2 drivers were in the mid 30's, with Sw0rdFish nearly breaking the all time record (Held by Stu). He ended up being a few tenths off and no doubt will be looking for the record next time out. As for me, I'll have to be happy with 33.56 as it's one of my best performances that I've ever came to the track with.
All signs point to another epic battle next week with Boost Monkey making his return from the senior's circuit. Just for those keeping score at home, Boost Monkey hasn't won a race in a month. Do I notice a trend forming here?
Yes I know what you all are saying, there is no way Stu could have wrote that table himself. Well you are right, I went to TableMaker and they wrote the code for me. I just entered in the values and made a couple changes.

What are they going to do in Texas now that the death penalty has been ruled unconstitutional? Hmm maybe think of excuses NOT to go Karting on a Tuesday night.

In the never ending proof that Ozzy is a better parent than most celeberties in hollywood I give you this story:
5. PARENTING GOES TO POT
Two years ago Melanie Griffith publicly declared that she would smoke pot with her son, Alexander, if he wanted to try it. She now sees the error of her ways.
"I said that if my son wanted to smoke pot, I would smoke it with him," Griffith tells More magazine. She adds that she kept her word and smoked weed with her son, with terrible results.
“I thought it was a good idea, but ultimately, it wasn’t … I did – and it backfired. He liked it. Now he’s on the [12-step] program.”
Alexander is seeking rehabilitation with Narcotics Anonymous. Griffith has two other children and has vowed not to make the same mistake twice.
The Left Coast Report reluctantly recalls that the post-sixties permissive parenting style was embraced by the left and, unfortunately, it has turned out to be the rehab industry’s best friend.
What scares me more is that one day The Professor may have offspring. In that case, god help us all.

I want to post another link, but I got some grapes that need to be crushed (28 cases I think). So if you wanna come over and move the hand crank you are more than welcome to. But just remember to be at Formula Kartways tonight at 8pm (sorry Boost Monkey has passed the age limit so he'll be starting a seniors leauge for over the hill drivers very soon).
Seems like Boost Monkey has a problem that needs to be answered by an expert. Nothing like taking the bullet out of the gun before you go to sleep right?

Recently Stugautz had a job interview. Here is why he did not make the grade. I've pointed him out to you on this vid.
The Source for 802 11 Some people seem to think 802.11b is the answer to all of lifes problems. I won't mention any names, buy you know who you are.
Stugautz has done away with socializing with members of the opposite sex and is now looking for his next girlfriend here.
It seems that Boost Monkey released a new CD. I strongly recommend you check it out. He's got some samples up there too for you guys to listen to.

Something fishy is going on at Sheridan College. Rather than trying to explain it myself and confuse everybody, I'll point you to The Professor's website and he'll inform you about the situation. But the controversial page has now been mirrored to my site which you can read for yourself here.

Played some golf today. First time ever in fact. I was feeling good for the first 6 holes, then I started feeling thirsty (damm where is that beer girl when you need her). After that, my energy level just drained out and I couldn't put together 2 good shots in a row. I'll keep the scorecard private (it's pretty pathetic, so you are better off not seeing it). Me and Talon played at woodlands golf and country club. I'll be golfing next week hopefully if I got some free time. I got an interview tommrow with some company. Wish me luck.
September 18, 2002
Went downtown (well if that's what it's called in Uzo's world) to hit some golfballs at the driving range. Pretty uneventfull time, except for one thing. It was a 2 leveled range, so Uzo requests shooting from the upper level. I agree and we get up there. Turns out, there is some fat, overweight, hairy chested, old guy in shorts that might has well been a speedo. It's one of the most disgusting sites I've ever seen in my life (and I've been to freak hole to see the disgusting pictures). Well my confidence was clearly shaken after looking at that sight. Don't think I wanna remember the rest of the day.
You know, somebody who works as little as me should update their blog more often. Hmm, got nothing to say really except that I had a ricebowl today. Haven't had one of those in a long time (almost 1 month). I forgot how much I love that place. Saw a lot of underage girls at shoppers world while waiting for my ricebowl. I think I should start going there more often. Hmm, maybe I will. But ack, I got to cut money out of the budget. I am not working.
Funny thing happend to me tonight. I was talking to a cousin of mine, and word came up that the only member of my family with a Ph. D. (in computer science) is comming to town this weekend for some IT related conference in Rotchester. I think I may have got conned into going to it. I'll try and weasle my way out of it, but you never know. Being in a car with 4 characters that have Ph D.'s (all Italian btw) would be a scary thought for me.

I am now the second fastest at Formula Kartways. Boost Monkey found evidence (although formula is spelled incorrectly on the slip, and none of his laps have decimal points) of a faster lap. I guess instead of whining, I'll actually post a faster lap next time I get out to Formula Kartways.
It's offical, I have reached a new level of nothingness. I woke up this morning and thought for a bit. Why should I even bother waking up in the mornings? I don't go to work. No school. No real reason for being awake other than to check jobs.sheridan for some cheap tech support jobs. Sure I can apply to jobs, but does that mean I'll even get an interview? Bah I didn't want the job anyway. Hmm, I reached a new low today. I applied back to my old employer, LCBO. Well on the plus side, it was for an IT position but still, it's the LCBO. The same people I cried to get away from. Hopefully they won't bother calling me back, but you never know what'll happen. Life is weird. One day your up, the next your down.
Now let's get back up to some good news. Boost Monkey is claiming that he has actually found evidence of his 33.02 lap. What he isn't saying is that he had to get on his knees in front of one of the good racers and beg for their slips. Oh yeah, Saturday. I still can't believe how much a pounding I took riding that car of 50 straight laps (or whatever it was). When I got out of that car, all I remember feeling was lower back pain. Even though it's a concrete track, you still bounce around a lot and your back takes a good sized beating. No bruises though, and Sunday morning pain was non existent. So that's all good. I really need to work on my stamina because around the 35th lap, I was sliding around everywhere. I need to be able to fly around the track like I did when I first got in the car. That's means I have to practice more.

I know I said I'll have the results up as soon as possible, I just don't really feel like typing right now. But here is the critical information: We started in position 5. Our car was horrible and we quickly fell to position 11 -- and 3 laps down after 2 pit stops. However, after a switch of cars and some good driving, we quickly started gaining positions on the field. In the end, we finished in 6th place (if we didn't have the mechanical difficulties we could have easily finished in 4th).
Race is comming up very soon. I think I got 7 1/2 hours as of writing this post till race time. This means I have to wake up around 5:45 so I can be out of the house by 6 and at Boost Monkey's by 6:15. Tim Horton's by 6:30 and track by 7. Time to get some sleep then some coffee in me tommrow morning. Stupid me had 4 beers today (not drunk yet) so I'm going to have to get my fair share of water inside of my body before tommrow's race. Let's all hope for a good clean race.

Damn my eyes are sore today, I can't focus on anything for some weird reason. I didn't even bother putting on my contacts this morning. Ahh well, what am I to do? 1 more day until the big enduro race, and our team looks great. We got the 3 top drivers from the SRL and we are going to take over the track Saturday morning. I've gone through a few situations that will ensure us victory:
1) Every team but ours runs out of gas on the final lap.
2) Every team but ours spins out and stalls their engine on the final lap.
3) We get a freakashly fast car.
4) Due to a computer problem, we are credited with laps we didn't actually drive.
5) Actually drive faster than the competition.
6) Due to congenital heart defects, none of our competition are able to compete and we win by default.
Of the 6 reasons, the only way that will ensure victory is #5. I have chosen to give up alcohol and sex for the 48 before the race. My last drink was a beer on Wednesday night and I intend to not have anything else to drink. Also, I'm not going to have caffine today (Idiotboy gave my a jolt cola yesterday or else it would have been a longer period of time) so caffine's effects will be greater on me tommrow. I haven't had a coffee in a week either so that's a positive.
I'm going to the Outback Steakhouse tonight for a friends birthday. I'm going to have to exercise self discipline and not eat too much and not get heavy for the race. I want to be as lite as possible for the race. That'll be my only meal today (other than the bagel I had for breakfast). But the problem is Outback always has huge portions and their ribs are some of the best around. Ahh well, ribs don't have much meat on them anyway. Just stay away from the booze.

Just got back from paintball city. Had a blast there (litterally). Silent Jay, TalonBoy and the (wo)man formally known as HairyGreek who will be known from here on in as CluelessGreek (I want a shorter name, that takes too long to type out) came with me. Took me two hours to get from my house (Hwy 10/407) to Clueless' house (Jane/Bloor) and to actually find Paintball City (Dixon/401). But time actually went by pretty quickly. It seems I only encounter traffic when CluelessGreek (fuck it, he's now just idiotboy) is in the car with me. Had I actually told Idiotboy where paintball city is, he would have directed me to a quicker route, but alas I failed myself in keeping my mouth shut, so I got what I deserved.
Anyways, once we actually got into Paintball City, got our guns, pellets, and gear and got ready to kick some ass. Alright, so what if idiotboy was trying to explain to some 10 year old kid that he is in fact 22 years old (funny conversation, you had to be there to see the kid ask idiotboy if he's 12 or 14).
For a guy who is used to 15 minutes straight of non-stop action on the go-kart track, paintball was a new experience. The limited ammo and chances for clean shots took a bit to get used to. When it came to getting hit, I was curious as to how much it would hurt. I'ver heard stories of people getting bruises when they get hit with a paintball but to be honest with you, in the 4 shots that I got hit, it didn't hurt much at all.
The first time I got hit it was nothing more than a lucky shot. Some kid was in a second floor house and I was painting the walls pretty good. He hits a desperation shot and just gets my hand. I let out a profanity that would have made Ozzy happy and retreat back to my corner. I come right back out, and realize nobody is shooting towards the center of that place. I make my way to the center, and along the back way. Suprise a couple guys on the green team with my bravery and proceed to light them up. Close quaters and being outnumbered 4-1 is never good odds, but I hit a couple guys then got pinged in the chest. Didn't hurt at all. In fact the only time I felt real pain was when I was running.
I tried to make my way from one house to the next, proceeded to trip on the gravel and make a complete fool of myself. I got back up and survived the round, but sliced my hands open. Ok, it was just a couple minor cuts, but give me some credit, there was real blood! So after 5 rounds here were my results:
Kills: somewhere between 0 and 7
Deaths: 2
Ran out of ammo: 2
Time Expired: 1
So I survived 3 out of 5 rounds.

I'll post more about Waldo showing us his worst ever third place finish tommrow, and the foam party we went to afterwards. But this is breaking news that I just learned of. My old high school (you'll have to click the link to find the name) has a scandal breaking out. One of our female teacher, (who I remember as being pretty hot and going to Western) has been charged with sexual assault!!!!
When I left the school, OAC consisted of 7 guys and 1 girl. I doubt the school has grown much since then. It was a small school, and for a scandal like this to break out, it truly amazying. You would have to actually have gone to the school to understand the magnitude. In this place, EVERY teacher knew your name, and the principal knew the first names of your parents. It's kinda weird, makes me wanna go back to the school and find out the real story. It's been 2 years since I last visited the place, it would be kinda weird going back there. But it's not the school that makes the memories, it's the people. Going back there and knowing only a few teachers wouldn't be the same as going back and seeing all the old people there. There are so many people that you just lose touch with when you graduate and you never see again. Some you don't mind not seeing, but others you miss. Then you go to university/college and you meet new people and make new friends. Then when you graduate you lose touch with those new friends. Things change always, there isn't much anybody can do about that. That's why blogs are important, write up little details about tonights events, then go back, 6, 8, 12 months later and you'll remember them like they happend last night. Funny how things work out.
Now I'm nostalgic for my high school days, the music, the people, the uniforms that I had to wear, everything. I'll probably go to sleep now, wake up tommrow, talk with the few high school contacts that are actually on my MSN/ICQ lists and talk about the old days, when wrestling was cool again, and the mullet wasn't as easy a target to make fun of as it is now. We'll talk about the assignments we copied off each other, how much we hated reading All Quiet on the Western Front in grade 12, Oedipus Rex in OAC, Calculus in portable #2. We'll talk about the free pop we got from Subway 3 times a week. Then we'll pause and remember that we aren't in high school anymore. Now everybody has driven off down new roads and we probably won't talk to each other again for another year, or maybe this will be the last converstaion we'll ever have because we just lose touch.
Am I just rambling right now? Yes I am. Do I care if you aren't even reading this? No I don't, because it's my webpage. Just think about high school and call up somebody you used to know, or maybe look through that old yearbook. I guarantee that you'll see somebody with a good story from your mid to late teen years that will get you thinking.

Well, The Professor is out for tonight's race (getting his wisdom teeth taken out...now he'll be offically an idiot!)
But in his place in M. Python. Mystery surrounds him, will he make an impression, or will Dark Phoenix finnaly have somebody to pass?
Tonight's field is small, with only 5 competitors, but any 1 of them can finish in first just as easily as they can finish in last. Take StuGautz for example: 3 weeks ago, he pulled off the biggest upset since the Patriots won the super bowl. What happens the next week? Mechanical problems limit his competitiveness and he finishes somewhere in the middle of the pack. Instantly BoostMonkey claims that Stu was a one hit wonder and will never win another race. Well guess what Stu does? Regains his composure, says his prayers, eats his vitamins, trains hard and ends up winning last weeks race.
So now that Stu is the hottest driver on the circuit (winning 2 of his last 3 races and never letting the competition hear the end of it) what will he manage to do today? Last week we proved that the car you drive will decide the race for you before you even start moving. The exhibition race showed us that Sw0rdFish is the real deal. Can Sw0rdFish do in 3 weeks what TheProfessor still hasn't done in 8 and win his first race? Will DarkPheonix finnaly escape the shadow of his mentor Stu and pull off an upset victory. Will M. Python be the first n00b to win a race. Has BoostMonkey used up all his NOS? Will PrimeTime ever race again? What will become of The Professor's teeth, and will he still be able to eat full chicken's for breakfast?
More importantly, how will team Playa's look in their final tuneup for this weekends big race.
All this and more will be answered on the next edition of Karting '02!
But in his place in M. Python. Mystery surrounds him, will he make an impression, or will Dark Phoenix finnaly have somebody to pass?

It's September 11, and since the media has bombareded us with images of this day for the past year, I feel no need to comment on it. But wait, our lives have changed forever (I keep hearing people tell me that). What's different for me? I still wake up and go to sleep at night, in between I eat and watch TV. Yeah, my life really has changed forever.
Now I actually am afraid to go in highrise buildings (well change afraid with still don't, because I never did). I shit myself whenever I have to ride a plane (that flight to Cancun and back was really torture -- well the flight back was, but that's for an entirely different reason). But alas, nothing has changed.
I remember going to the Lions-Packers game last year and being frisked by security, asked to turn my cell phone on and off...and that was it. Well that 10 minute wait to get in would have been bad, except trying to cross the pedestrian bridge to get to my car had a 20 minute wait.
Security at school is a lot tighter now....there is this parking gaurd that stops everybody and makes sure we have a pass. He wasn't there before September 11 (it was free parking).

Well, one more day until the race. I just realized that tommrow's race will be held on September 11 (I refuse to give it the numerical date format because nobody really talks like that, for example I was born on 11 / 10....you see how gay that sounds?) I guess this gives us a good moment to reflect on what happend last year. Well, looks like we are now at a high state of alert in case of a possible terrorist attack, with no specific target mentioned. I'll withold my comments on that one.
But back to the race, I'll have a full preview tommrow, but for now the confirmed lineup is:
StuGautz (did I mention he is the defending champion?)
Boost Monkey
Dark Phoenix (last week he got called into work, this week he says he'll be here)
Sw0rdFish
Listed as out for this race is:
TalonBoy (he has night school you know)
SilentJay
Still haven't heard anything from:
TheProfessor (maybe he's taken one too many beatings...I expect him to be back at the race)
Primetime (this guy just got beat one too many times)

Another day, another box of stolen pens....Well not really considering I haven't done anything yet. But fear not, I'm almost done downloading Mandrake 9.0 release candiate 2 as we speak for installation on my own machine. Yes I really have nothing better to do than install linux on my own desktop but ahh well, what am I going to do? I applied to a few other jobs today, and still haven't heard anything back from anybody yet. Joke is on them really, I'm the best employee out there (or so I think).

So ends another given Sunday. I must have watched 9 hours of football. I saw the good (Denver's defence comming up big against St. Louis and Houston beating Dallas), the bad (Detroit's luck, Buffalo/Tampa Bay Special Teams) and the downright ugly (Cleveland player throws helment). Wild finishes in the Tampa Bay-New Orleans, Kansas City - Cleveland and Buffalo - New York Jets. I must say today was the perfect day to have NFL sunday ticket. Best to be detrmined amount of money I've ever spent (I'll explain that another day). I can't look at any kind of screen anymore, my eyes are officaly square (and I still have Monday Night Football to go)!
Football season starts today and if there is any doubt that people are in a hurry to watch games, just look at this glimpse of PrimeTme. In other news, origin of The Professor has finnaly been determined.

Just got back from playing some touch football today. Spent 2 1/2 hours in that sun and I'm drained right now. Sure it was fun, and I kinda did need some exercise, but I'm beat right now. My cleates (sp?) are a little too tight for me so my left foot is blistered on two toes (big and little ones) my right foot is numb on the right side, my heels are killing me, my knees are a little bit on the wobbly side, but other than that I feel pretty good about myself. I weighed 148 before going on the field about to weigh myself now. But a fun time was had by all. Score...well since nobody knows any of the guys playing I'll not get into that.
September 06, 2002
Another day, more nothing. Not much else to say other than I have offically been promoted to unemployed jack ass. But fear not, I have found a way to keep myself occupied (this time without porn). I will train in a gym (a real one) and become strong like bull. At least give myself some active living. I'm playing touch football on Saturday's and karting on Wednesdays so to better excel at these sports, a physical fitness program is in store for me. So starting Monday I'll be joining bodyworks and get a good routine down. Anybody have suggestions?
September 05, 2002
From the I can't believe we thought this was cool files, check out old atari commercials. Damm I guess something funny about watching commercials that were made in the same period as Boost Monkey's last Kart victory!
But onto serious matters, there are rumors going around that Boost Monkey and Sw0rdFish have adopted the if you can't beat them, join them theory to to auto racing. So in following with Players Racing's latest idea, we will be forming a 3 man team of our of for an endurance race. Well let me state that these rumors are indeed true and yes I did win last nights race (for those of you keeping score at home, I've won 2 of the last 3 races!).

Noooooooo Boost Monkey has been beaten again. That's 2 out of the last 3 weeks that the great Boost Monkey has lost! Yes boys and girls, the almighty hand of Stu beat Boost Monkey, The Professor, TalonBoy, Silent Jay and Sw0rdFish. Lap times were:
Car #15
Lap Time
============
13 34.18
15 34.29
06 34.38
12 34.38
14 34.41
But wait, after reclaiming the fastest man alive trophy for another week, I had a rematch challenge posed to me by the sore loser Boost Monkey. Knowing full well that the only race that matters is the first race and being the fighting champion that I am, I agree to a second race.
Keep in mind, that Micheal Schumacher never agreed to a second race. When the Cannonball Run was over and Burt Reynolds lost, he never asked for a second race. Anyways, we watched the regulars that are the fastest men at Formula Kartways drive a race. Needless to say they put on an exibition of how to drive laps in the low 32's. I suffered from race envy and tried to duplicate those times. This was my best impression:
Car #11
Lap Time
============
17 34.16
20 34.20
16 34.54
18 34.67
15 34.70
As you can see, it wasn't much better than the first time around, but it was consistent at least. When I drove Car #15, it was on cold tires and a cold engine. Car #11 was fresh off racing a 32 second lap so that might have had something to do with my times. Either way you look at it, I really can't compalin about running in the low 34's. Sure it's not the 33.22 that I'm used to running, but hey, nobody perfect.

Get ready boys and girls, tonight promises to be another wild night at the races.
Back to the Track
Will feature such great hits as:
The Professor talks trash and doesn't back it up
Stu passes all
Boost Monkey chokes again
Sw0rdFish continues his rise
Dark Phoenix still can't crack the top 3
TalonBoy fights for the back again
Silent Jay tries to finish on the lead lap
PrimeTime will he show up?
Also bonus tracks including:
Stu 33.22
Running With The Pack
Slipping, Sliding and Crashing
Looks like volume 2 will shape up to be as good as the first one. How will the rest of us fare?

For those of you with noting better to do, why don't you have a listen to Boost Monkey Radio? I'm listening to it right now in fact and it's actually not half bad. I know most of you guys think of Boost Monkey being that dirty old man that looks up 12 year old girl's dresses while having a peep cam set up in the men's washroom, but he actually has good taste in music.

I've been a little busy lately trying to become invisible. But fear not for I will be the one if the floating camera in the girls changeroom (like I'd actually use my invisibility for a good use anyway right?)

Kinda cool that you had a budget to pick from. Next was off to Yahoo for their pickem pool. Nothing big, just a place where I can take wild picks and hope for the best. Finnaly I headed over to the survivor section and had a quick chuckle. It's time to continue with the tradition I started in the Australian Outback and have a survivor pool going, if you wann join, here's the critical info:

Football season starts in less than 5 days so now is your chance to play against the spread with Stu. Some of you may remember the site from last year, but others might not know about it. Basically you play all the games against the spread and you win bragging rights. I've been with Commissioner for 2 campaigns now and I think they are one of the better ones. Anyways here's the link to my football pool. Only join if you plan on playing every week.
OMFG, I think I may have found the funniest link to my webpage ever. As some of you may know, my webpage in searchable with google. Every couple of days I'll get a funny search hit. Well just check out what some horny mexican found when he went on google. Just look at the search topic.
How the fuck do I get a cold on labour day weekend? And if you are comming out to race on Wednesday night at 8:30, post your intentions here
