We had three soccer friendlies. We got second place. We went 1-1-1, and we only let one goal in the whole day. I thought the flag at half staff was moving, so I took a picture of it.

Hates quality gaming
After getting an oil change (which turned into an oil change + air filter + wipers + trans flush), I was on my way to go to Menards to get some work gloves and suddenly sprung a flat. So, today marks the day when I became slightly more of a man, because it's the first time I changed a flat tire.

Then I came home and slept (3rd Shift emp. here). Probably will go get some rum & coke tonight. Staying clean for piss tests sucks.

Winning Eleven, studying existentialism, and now watching the World Cup.

Why? What's so special about this date?

I went to the mall and bought a shirt. Then I went downtown and ate.

Wrote a speech, played Baldur's Gate II a couple of times and uninstalled it, then started reading posts here all day
 
I spent my September 11th engaging in an activity that makes me most proud to be an American: looking at internet porn. If we had lost our internet porn, then the terrorists would have truly won.

Cablevision decided to fuck up this morning and most of the afternoon...i did a little cardio, ate, and slept most of the day. Played some Capcom vs. SNK(leftover from DC's birthday tribute)...that's about it. Yay.

I tried not to think about it. I still remember three years ago quite well, and I'd rather not have to relive through the events for a fourth time.

Pretty much.

I lounged around my apartment, picked up some things I needed to spruce it up, and watched Parts 5 and 6 of Band of Brothers. Not really sure what tonight holds.

I watched some anime, played Gradius V with my brother and had a really good dinner.

well that's not very american. Anime on 9/11, for shame. Anyway, chalk one up for internet porn for me

$50/hour, but no kissing on the lips and colors must be pre-separated
Drove around taking care of some stuff while wondering why all the flags were at half-staff and eventually realizing that it was, in fact, September 11th. Only noteworthy thing I did was shove a new Clarion Pro Audio in-dash into my Mazda Protege. Today marks the beginning of many needless and expensive audio modifications for my car...

Well, I'm no American, so with that in mind it kind of makes sense. :p

American Internet porn?

;)
 
I actually woke up earlier this morning for some reason, and tried to go back to bed but instead just watched X-Play. I did flip over to Fox News to see if there were doing anything on the break and they had that same old time by time thing with the overly dramatic music. I literally went meh and flipped back. It's really getting kind of tiring, no offense to anyone, but since I don't have any family in it I'm ready to move on.

So I basically slept after that.

Trimmed and sawed off some tree branches that were scrapping and lying on top of my backyard's wooden roof, went and bought some new shoes and sneakers, ate some pizza, and played some Street Fighter Third Strike.

I slept off a hangover the whole day.

spent 5 hours (usually a 2 and a half hour trip) getting from long island to pennsylvania....bad day.

I joined for Erin Brockovich discussion
Sleeping, Some Clerks Commentary watching (New 2004 version), Porn, Some Star Ocean, some Angel season 4, Watching Bama vs. Ole Miss.
 
Well, I went to a bigger city (London) and there I bought Morrowind: GotY Ed. and exchanged my Portapros and bought PX100s (definitely my headphone of choice now, although this pair sounds even better than I remember my old ones sounding. Maybe they've been used and are burned in). Then I watched the Canada - Czech Rep. game and now I've just played that damned dot game.

Company I work for went to work the Texas A&M/Wyoming game @ Kyle Field in College Station,TX. God damn that place can get loud. That shit was awesome. Before kickoff, some F18 Hornets did a fly over. Fucking bad ass. The game was decent, but the atmosphere...HOOOLY SHIT. Awesome.

My car kicked the bucket. In a Wal-Mart parking lot. Right in front of the entrance. I had to push it out of the way, then sit in in while people stared at me. Took over half an hour for the tow truck to get there.
