Just got this in an email from my dad's friend, it's Steve Lee, australian country singer, singing about how much he loves guns.

Country isn't really my thing (make a metal version and we'll talk), but I thought it'd be relevant here.

I went over to the University of Houston campus earlier to see what tests I had to take before I could go to orientation and found out that my SAT scores are high enough that I only have to take one of the tests. I walked around the campus a bit as well. The whole place had a friendly atmosphere and everyone was nice

That reminds me of last summer. I was loading hay onto the truck with my dad (we mow the fields and pick up the bales every summer), and this hot girl who was my age, and her mom, who was also pretty hot, were helping, since they were buying the bales. I was at the top of the ~30ft stack of bales (and while irrelevant, I hate being the stacker because I'm afraid of heights and being 35ft up on an unstable stack of hay on a moving truck is not where I like to be), and climbed down to about ten feet to hop off. I hopped down and had to land in a full crouch to absorb the impact. My jeans shredded from ankle to crotch all the way up. I just froze for a minute and asked my dad if I could possibly go home and change. I felt pretty smooth walking home in my half-pants, the two girls as an audience.

The "haters gonna hate" walk was futile. :o

Niiice. The few times I have accidentally ripped my jeans where when I tried to get into a car that was low to the ground

I went down to Casual Male XL and bought 3 pairs of shorts earlier, so it's all good

I failed the easiest math placement test UH had :(

I didn't feel so bad about it when I realized that it was all stuff I had been taught 4 whole years ago (and probably forgot 3 years ago). I'm going to try the Pre-Calculus one later, since I took that class this year and still have some of my notes

doing what?

Gunmaster45 06-14-2011 11:37 PM

A couple weeks ago I heard shots firing outside my house, so I went outside to check (this usually means my dad is test firing a gun with a customer, and I always come out to check and or get some trigger time). I came outside to find a blonde in her late 30s early 40s shooting a Ruger Mk II with target grips and a compensator.

In a state like NY, finding girls who like guns is kind of difficult, so it drew my interests that she was a shooter. Her problem was she was right handed but left eye-dominant. So I recommended to tape over the left eye of her shooting goggles (a common "fix" for incompatable eye to hand dominance), try shooting south paw (which due to the right-handed hand-hugging grips, wasn't possible), or to modify her form so that she could instinctively bring the gun to center in front of her left eye. She found the last one most useful after some practice.

I put a mag through it after her, and despite how much I dislike the Ruger's target sights (I don't like big blocky sights), I was popping the steel spinners most of the time.

We went back in the shop and she was talking about how she was addicted to buying new guns. She was looking through the catalogue for a new Kimber pistol. She had recently bought the kimber ultra rcp II 45, but didn't like it because the sights were too low-profile. I recommended the Ultra Raptor II and she said, "That was the one I wanted!" Then she talked about how she used to carry a SIG P238, which she had then replaced with a SIG P250 (which she said sucked, which I kind of expected of them), then moved on to a SIG P239, then went to the Kimbers. She also talked about wanting to get a Micro Desert Eagle or maybe an AMT Backup.

Just the fact she knew all these different varients (my dad was lost for most of this conversation) was pretty impressive. I may be turning 18 this month, but I admit I checked for a ring. Which was MIA. Not that I made any investment there, but the gun love gave me some older woman fever. :)

Swordfish941 06-14-2011 11:53 PM

I wish my mom would stop complaining about every little thing I do (like not taking a shower in the morning and going to C.R. Hero's for lunch).

It's beating a dead horse if anything. Everybody with half a brain knows how stupid it is, and only dumb tweens and obsessed 40-year-old women enjoy it sincerely. It's all common knowledge now, preaching about how profoundly stupid it is now is just a waste of time. People either know, or disagree.

Back when Twilight bashing was cool though, I went with some friends to see the second one so we could make a mockery of it. We bought 2 small popcorns for each of us, and whenever Edward came on screen, we would throw a popcorn into the air and scream. Many of the viewers were PISSED. :D

I blame Cracked for any knowledge I have about Twilight. They did an entire plot summary of every book and film soley to make fun of it. That's dedication I could not handle.

I don't diss Robert Pattinson though, because while he plays the most hated sparkle-bitch character in vampire history, he has openly admitted he despises the role, routinely neglected to bathe during the filming of it, and called Stephenie Meyer a crazy bitch who profits off of publishing her wet dreams. He's tried to back out of the last installments to the series, but I'm assuming they payed him a ridiculous amount of money to keep him.

The writing was so horrible because Stephanie Meyer did not have previous writing experience. I know this first hand since the first thing I wrote was a short story about an Indiana Jones-esque ferret in the second grade. I haven't even heard of the books until I was in the seventh grade when I had a friend who was a Twihard. I was really interested into them once I read the premise.

What pisses me off is that some people base the actor's acting ability solely on the goddamn series. I have seen Kristen Stewart's other work (Into the Wild, The Yellow Handkerchief, The Runaways, and The Cake Eaters). It shows that she can be a good actress if she is given the right material. Plus she is now working on an adaption of On the Road, a novel that defined the Beat Generation (which I have on my bookself but have only gotten through the first few chapters). Here's what her co-star Sam Riley says about her:

http://www.redbull.com/cs/Satellite/...21243028821378

As for Robert Pattinson, he essentially got his big break in the fourth Harry Potter film. Critic said that he could possibly be the next Jude Law. But along came Twilight and a lot of people started to say that he sucks. He only joined the movie to work with Kristen Stewart (who was recommended for the role for the role by Emile Hirsch, her co-star in Into the Wild). There are two movies that might change a lot of people's perspective of him:

1. Bel Ami, where he is working with two brilliant actors, Phillip Glenister and Colm Meaney.

2. Cosmopolis, where he is working with the great David Cronenberg, the man who got Viggo Mortensen his first Oscar nomination.

And that settles my case.

That's exactly the way that I feel. And I feel the same way about people who can't shut up about Justin Bieber or Ke$ha, or anything that teenage girls are into: Yeah, (insert name here) is shit, but what do teenage girls like that isn't shit? Also, I've known some girls who aren't much older than you guys and like "Twilight". Plenty of them admit that the books and movies suck, but say it's a "guilty pleasure".

I'm not saying anyone needs to like "Twilight" (I sure as hell don't), but bitching about it constantly is, in its own way, extremely annoying. The only thing I find more annoying than teenage girls who like "Twilight" is teenage boys with a superiority complex and identity issues who believe that criticizing the lowest of the low in pop culture demonstrates their superior intellect.

Also (and I apologize in advance for this), can you really say that teenage boys are a whole lot smarter or have better taste? How many of y'all used to read (or still read) Tom Clancy? When I was 13, I used to think he was the paragon of literary genius. But when I was in my early-20s, I tried reading "Rainbow Six" again, and I realized that Clancy is a really bad writer. His characters are extremely one-dimensional and his dialogue is over-loaded with explanation that sounds completely unlike anything a real person would say in conversation. (This is also a problem that plagues Michael Crichton, another author I used to read as a teenager.) Sometimes I think that I could write better novels than Tom Clancy, knowing what I know about politics, terrorism, and the military - and I have never considered myself to be a great fiction writer.
