Since I enjoyed going on cruises so much I decided to create a page to help monetize my time on the internet so I created cruisevacationguide.net to provide some guides for anyone looking into planning a cruise. The page is monetized with Google Adsense for maximum damage.

My Fav Car the BMW 135i

The bestest car in the world is soon to arrive in America. The twin turbo BMW 135i will soon be here to wow us all. A small coupe with a twin turbo engine with an almost 50-50 weight ratio…yummy. If only the weight and cost weren’t so high. We’ll see if I get one!

K1Speed Fun

Finished another fun trip to K1Speed this past December. Click the pic for more stats and info. I am usually racing with my friend Steve and we’ve visited Ontario, Irvine, and now Anaheim. Anaheim is probably the most technical followed by Ontario, but Irvine is the most fun because the first turn is a wide left u-turn that you can powerslide thru after a long straightaway so if you pull it off, it feels so sweet.

Back from Vegas

Brian L — Sun, 23 Dec 2007 05:39:35 +0000

Went to Vegas on Monday and got back on Thursday. Basically, stayed at South Point hotel, played at South Point, Venetian, MGM, NYNY, Wynn (?), and Excalibur and ended up losing overall. Rode the NYNY coaster for the first time. I’d give it a 4/10 because it felt very run down, jerky, and costs $12 for a short ride. Bowled at South Point, played XBOX 360 whenever we were in our room, watched tv a lot, drank some interesting sugar free energy drinks, went to Frys a few times, oh ya, and batting cages ($2 for 14 balls; f that, and half of the pitches were balls, as stated on the display, but still crap).

Food wise, ate at South Point buffet for $4 with coupon; mediocre food but good selection. Ate at the Wynn buffet for like $35; excellent food but small selection; had mostly crab, shrimp, and can’t remember anything else significant except the rock hard candy apples they had for dessert that were almost impossible to bite into. Oh ya, went to Costco in Summerlin or something like that; nicer area, same Costco pizza and hotdog. Still yum though.

Las Vegas still is an interesting experience for me as long as I am going to gamble. I think if I were to just visit to hang out in Vegas I probably would pass as most of Vegas looks to be a bit on the shady side with who knows who walking the streets and various panhandlers handing out adult advertisements. The hotels are excellent, as they are built on people like us, but going out and driving the strip is no walk in the park.

With that, my quick write up is complete. Mostly.

Game Reviews

Brian L — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:01:09 +0000

So I’m trying to keep my mind alive by writing up some game reviews of games I’m currently playing or have played. My latest one is Mass Effect and it’s mostly just me rambling so give it a read if you want. I hope to keep this up as it helps remember some of that stuff we learned in that place we had to go everyday as we grew up.

Lalalala

Holy crap, it’s been forever since I forgot about this page. I’ve been playing some 360 lately. I just bought Guitar Hero 3, Mass Effect, PGR4, and Blue Dragon. Got 3 of those 4 games for $55 total. Good huh? Ya. So anyways, I’m still up in San Jose working at Microsoft (hmmm) and still staying at my relatives place so I can’t complain. Added some new tail lights to my car and bought an STi exhaust and plan to add some swaybars and suspension in the future; we’ll see.

I’m going home for the holidays so I will be going home. =)

GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY ELSE.

As the Times Roll Forward

Not much going on lately. I am currently trying out the World of Warcraft trial account. I’m a level 12 Night Elf Male Hunter. That’s it for that shiznit. I’m still looking for a job, hopefully the Thomas one comes through and I am set, hopefully. I drove 6 hours up there for the interview and 6 hours back later that night which was the longest I’ve ever driven x2. That’s it for now, no real news.

Life as Usual

Brian L — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 04:35:16 +0000

So basically after college was over, I’ve been sitting around the house for a couple of months and have finally taken the plunge into finding a job. I’ve already had a second interview at this dental service place but now I don’t know what’s gonna happen. It really takes a lot out of me trying to search through endless streams of jobs on careerbuilder and monster and it really sucks. Anyways, the search goes on.

Besides boring, I went to K1Speed today. You can take a look at my score here.

Nothing to do but…
