Mac-Forums' Bar & Grill II

Well, I've got a job interview at this call center (lucky me), on Friday doing customer service for OnStar, woo.. At least it pays $12.65hr..

Also moving again, this time with my girlfriend and hoping this is going to be permanent for a while. I'm sick of moving already.

I just weighed myself the other day and I went from 327lbs down to 229lbs in just over a year. My goal is 210lbs. I can now go into a store and buy pants/shorts without having to worry if they're going to have my size, so that's a plus.

My girlfriend and I will be purchasing a car soon. We found a good deal on a really good condition '98 Chevy Cavalier. It has 158K on it, 2-door, a gold-ish color, am/fm/cd player. It sucks that it's an automatic though. However, the lady wants $3000 for it, which is pretty good. I've seen these cars still sell for close to $5-6000 easily.

Umm.. I think that's all for now..

I have an interview for that job I really want. It's the last part of it and it consists of riding an inner tube down a river through 7 lava (obviously dried ) tunnels. Hows that for an interview? It pays $11.50 /hour with benefits and free lunch everyday.

Onstar eh? That would be cool. Especially if your cavalier has it. Good Luck Punkr0x0r

Buy a Honda Punk. $3000 seems high but if that's what you can afford, look for something more reliable. You could easily put $3000 before 2010 comes around.

Congrats with the weight loss. You get that tat yet?

Particularly since it's a Volkswagen product and already has that strike against it!

It's technically not my car, it's my girl's.. She can't drive stick and doesn't want her first car to be stick-shift.. I personally am going to be buying a Jetta, it's pretty much my dream car.

The Cav won't have OnStar, I'm quite capable of finding my own way around, and besides, getting lost makes it that much more interesting. However, I would take one of those new Civic Si's in red

Yeah, it may be a bit high, but it's my girl's first car, so yeah. I don't really have much say. I just get to drive it as she doesn't have her license yet and I have mine

Thanks! It took a long time, but the only way to do it healthy/naturally is over a long period of time. I changed my diet completely, which was rather expensive, but very worth it. I did get the tattoo done on May 16th. Check out my DeviantArt profile (link in sig) and you can view a pic of it. It's still healing though and mose of the main scabs have fallen off. It's just mad itchy because all of my arm hair is growing back through it haha!

The tat looks a million times better than the photo I remember you showing me. Those colors are very vibrant; I hope it stays like that.
The time and effort is worth it in the long run, isn't it? You realize it took a lot of work to lose the weight so gaining it back should be difficult. If it was just sucked out, would you really feel the need to eat right and stay fit?

congrats punk on all your weight loss!

after a late night of putting together presentations for my boss i discovered how little room i had left on my hd. so i left work early and picked up a new hd. i just finished putting it ini went from having an 80 gb hard drive to a new 320gb hard drive.

WOW! Congratulations! Is it not one of the BEST things of your life?

New body.
New place to live.
New car.

SOMEONE is growing up! ;D


On a slightly related note,
I read all the directions for my phone yesterday. (Sony Ericsson W580i), normally I don't really read the directions, i'm sort of a get it by experience type of person, but it's a VERY confusing phone.

Anyway, I found out it has a whole fitness section. Cool right?

It counts my steps and displays distance traveled, steps taken per day, calories based on your height/weight, and it automatically resets itself at midnight (unless you don't want it to), and it keeps your records.
I LOVE it.
It also has a running mode, but I doubt i'll ever test that out.

And I stayed after school until 6 today working on a romeo and juliet packet.
I don't really like that story.
My english teacher tries to relate it to us kids dating/killing ourselves in 2008, and it's a FAR stretch yet he tries to force it on us.

He could just as easily take that message to the whole world, but I guess he thinks only highschoolers have that problem. It's quite stereotypical.
I hate how he goes out of his way to say hi to me, when he KNOWS I don't like him....why can't we just not like each other and leave it at that? Don't know.

I've taken 9329 steps today, at least when i've had my phone in my pocket.
Weird thing is, i've been trying to make it go up all day without actually WALKING, to see if it's like one of those cheap pedometers.
Can't!
At all!

I like this phone.
I like AT&T too.

Thanks! The guy who did it was amazing.. The pictures don't do it any justice. As for the weight-loss, if it was just sucked out, I probably wouldn't have changed my diet. However, I wouldn't even want to get that done simply because I knew I could do it myself. Eating healthy costs a substantial amount more per month, but it's totally worth it.. Way more worth it than surgery!

Let's just say I feel better, and look better than I ever have in my entire life.

Thanks! A new hard drive is always a good thing. I'm contemplating going between a 320gb "slim" external, or a 160gb internal drive for my PowerBook.

So, you're getting a job at Dork Inc.?
LOL. Kidding.
That actually sounds like an awesome job. (is jealous)
Too bad Michigan has the highest unemployment rate...not that i'm qualified for anything.
Although it would be AWESOME to work at a pet store, especially if it's like one of the ones that have dogs and cats walking around like petsmart does!

It's my goal one day.

1) Get out of Michigan so I actually have a CHANCE at getting any job.
2) Work at a pet store.

Then when that gets boring i'll get an "actual" job...

Psh, actual jobs are lame!

I want to be a youth pastor!

Basically, get paid for chilling with kids and helping them grow their faith.

nice ride macos9user

Ugh... I hate school. I know all you college people will say quit crying, but I really don't care. I have a 5 page research project on universal health care due tomorrow... I need more sources than the internet, but that is lame. I can basically read a book on the internet, but it is still the internet which won't be valid. 3 more days of High School and I'm done forever... I can't wait.

EDIT: And now I'm glad Macs run hot... this makes a nice blanket for this ridiculously cold Panera I've been sitting in.

Anyone watching Inside Edition right now, they're talking about those bed salesmen?

It's DISGUSTING! Horrible people!

Ya know, Tanner could probably bang that paper out in 5 minutes - with a good grammar checker, you might make out pretty well.
