Kerry

Posted in General on August 31st, 2004

I just named the title Kerry cuz I just happened to remember JOhn Kerry’s daughters were on ECU’s campus today. I hear it was quite the show - a whopping 20 minutes or somethin. I was busy driving the AutoBoos as Megan would say while all that was going on so I just have hearsay and we all know how unreliable that can be. What the fuck am I talking about anyways?

It’s nearly 10pm and I’m really tired - all I wanna do is go to bed. It’s raining real hard & nice outside - should make for good sleeping weather.

I have more things to say but honest to god I can’t remember what they are. O except that I now have an ‘attorney’ so WATCH OUT! I’ll litigate yo ass foo!

Gnite ;)

Here we go again!

No doubt I’ll get to drive a bus - in hurricane gail force winds on my birthday. Happy 2_th Matt (I always forget just how old I am)

XP Upgrade

Posted in General on August 28th, 2004

It seems to me that I read somewhere once I can use an XP Upgrade CD to get a full fresh install w/o having a copy of an older version of Windows. I can pick upgrade up for 99 bucks using my student discount and think it might be that time. If any of you over at wantmoore or GOTC know a way around this or find a good article (google came up with a few semi null results) - please lemme know. O and keep your ‘XP Banishment’ comments to urself. I have no extra time for the linux learning curve.

IE Grr

Posted in General on August 27th, 2004

For the record - I despise IE and it’s inability to display a webpage properly. For those of you using IE you’re probably seeing GAPS inbetween posts/posts and comments, etc. Please ignore these as - well..I’m waiting for Bill Gates to return my call.

Or you could get Mozilla. Looks great in that!

5:33am

Posted in General on August 27th, 2004

Hey it’s 5:33 am and I’m near wide awake. Not by choice but by employment. This is my third day in a row I’ve gotten up before the sun and I’m either getting used to it or I’m becoming a zombie. I closed for the first time yesterday and lemme tell ya - everything that coulda gone wrong did. 60′ Bus/Ran/Packed DOT/No Broom/Trash?!/FUEL SPILL/etc. But thats cool cuz whatever - bitchin gets noone anywhere.

Ok I gotta head out to drive M2. Be Good

*Red*

I started around 6:30 this morning and JUST sat down (around 9:05 EST). Brown route went ok but was a tad bit nerve-racking. Campus shuttle really should be called Campus shuFFle and Red route is true to its name. At least my face was red trying to make a 30 minute round in Greenville rush hour traffic with ignoramous freshman asking me a buncha questions. My “Crisis Intervention” class will probably be pretty interesting though - too bad the book is 98 dollars. Professor is a MSCJ and is a Sgt with GPD MCU so maybe between him and Mr. Vavarette(?) I could get a ride along and some ‘in’ time. We’ll see..

Tomorrow I start at 8am and have class until around 4 - then drive again at 5. Might blog tomorrow night - it really depends on whether I’m concious or not. O and I finally got into Financial Aid office and got my “excess” check after standing in a line you could probably see from space. *cheer*

Nite

Post Script I’m completely fed-up with Cox Communications and their lack of quality product (ie I have to unscrew the cable from the wall every 5 fucking minutes and rest my modem only to sit here and PRAY it reverses and reconnects), so whenever I get the chance tomorrow or friday or saturday or whenever I’m having it disconnected and will either be getting DSL or go back to dialup. I REFUSE to pay for something I can’t even goddamn use - and it’s my goddamn right to bitch about it here cuz well folks..this is Av8ur.Com

Here’s a fun game to alleviate some of the personal suffering I may have caused you with that outburst - don’t sue me, I aint got nothin.

Bush Shootout

^This game is rated for 14 and older

Kindergarten - Day 1

Posted in General on August 24th, 2004

Well I start Fall semester tomorrow - and frankly I think this semester is going to blow for a while until I get used to it. I’ll be getting up about 6am everyday and going until 6 or 7 at night at least. Doesnt include my hard ass classes with professors are already emailing me about and demanding I buy the book early to read ahead (the books are a mere 100 dollars each).

I’m not online much anymore as I’m busy with friends, driving for transit and trying to get into the Financial Aid office to get some help. I’m supposed to get my “excess” tomorrow which will be a huge weight off my back - please everyone pray they don’t lose it. If they do I’m in uber trouble.

O and I’ve decided I’m going to be an Olympian so watch for me in the 2012 games. I’m gonna get the gold medal for Dead-Sexy *nod* ;). Lil joke Lil joke - gets my mind off the impending DOOM tomorrow.

Justin I hope you’re liking your new laptop and Megan thanks for being my go-to lately. In other news - nothing much is new. I gotta go throw some old food in the ditch so - talk to ‘yall’ later *laff*

Layout

Posted in General on August 18th, 2004

A quick update - as you can see I have a new layout for av8ur.com . The site was down for a week or so when I decided to scrap the old version and start fresh to resolve some problems. My university website just changed and I fell in love with the color scheme, but Justin at WANTMOORE coincidentally came up with a new scheme that just happens to almost match it perfectly. I’m very satisfied and greatly appreciate his help so head over to his site to read his blog, leave him a message of praise, or just give him a few hits. Again thats WANTMOORE.COM

With that said I’ve gotta get up at 5am tomorrow and drive a bus. Gnite.

Dossier

Posted in General on August 18th, 2004

I’m Matt and you’ve stumbled across my page or I sent you here for some reason or another. Some people question my choice of domain - but it’s as simple as this. I’m an aviation nut who likes unique, simple and somewhat anonymous web addresses. Other variations of ‘aviator’ were already taken so I bought this one. It’s really starting to grow on me though..

And yes I know tirade is spelled wrong :0

Posted in General on August 6th, 2004

I just wanna say first that this site looks like shit, so I don’t wanna hear anything about it. I’m workin on it…sorta

As for an update, this will be fairly quick. Around 100 dollars later I finally have my CDL, but can’t drive for Transit until the beginning of fall basically, I’ve been readjusting since my life has changed just a little bit, and have even learned a couple things about myself. I’m sorry to those I might have hurt because I didn’t realize these things. I truely am…

In other news - I don’t really have any other news. I may go to the Boat Race down near Washington this weekend with a friend, gonna hear some noise and see some money fly by at 100+ miles per hour. Vroooommm

School starts on the 25th, and thats good because it means I’m closer to graduating and bustin bad guys, but it also means I get financial aid and can afford to eat, etc. OH AND I FORGOT TO MENTION…LAST NIGHT DURING THE STORM - LIGHTING DESTROYED MY BIG TV DOWNSTAIRS. O I’m so fuckin pissed…*sighs* Matt can’t win. Gnite
