I AM BACK ON!

Hello all! I am back in Rhode Island and I have to say it is good to be home. It is cold as a well digger's ass and I am loving every second of it. Not too much has changed since I have been gone but it is nice to be back in civilization and out of that shithole Savannah. God Bless the North!
Anyway I did something really cool yesterday. My mom got me and my dad tickets to something for Christmas. I had no idea what it was other than I was suppose to go to Boston. So Yesterday at a disgustingly early hour, my father and I drive up to Boston's Museum of Science. They are having this Star Wars exhibit there called Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination. Essentially it talks about the different technologies in the Star Wars film and relates them back to what is going on today. For example there is a special feature (special in that you have to buy extra tickets for it) where you climb aboard a mock millennium Falcon, get in the cockpit and you tour the galaxy and learn about all the latest discoveries. In the exhibit itself there are demonstrations on different types of transportation technology, medical technology, robotics, and communication. All of it tying into Star Wars and the stuff you see in the movies and then relating it back to real world. The Robotics was especially interesting. Aside from that they had very impressive collection of Star Wars props and models from the movies. If you are into concept design for film or model building as I am this is really really a treat. Every major spaceship in the Star Wars galaxy was represented. These models were amazing, and they were actually used in the shooting of the film. I will definitely post up more of them for all to see.
I highly recommend going to check this out. It isn't a huge exhibit, it will take no more than an hour or two of your time but it was really interesting. Plus, like everything else at the BMS, it is interactive. So go, bring the kids, and have fun.

PS, They also have a pretty neat gift shop with lot of Star Wars related toys, games, puzzles, books. Nothing you can't find anywhere else but it was still fun to look at everything.

King Idiot, lord of the fools

It is late and I am really tired but I cannot for the life of me fall asleep. I am having one of those moments where I wish I could take a few steps backward and handle something differently. You know, one of those foot in mouth moments?
I should have known today was going to end the way it did when I fell off a Segway today. No major injuries, just some road rash, a messed up hand and a large dose of embaressment. Yet on a positive note, falling off the Segway at 12.5 miles per hour was 1000 times more exciting than the parade I had to ride in out on Tybee Island. I think maybe there were 20 people in the parade, and maybe 25 who actually watched it. At least it wasn't freezing cold and I did discover a new type of redneck. I call them Sandy Rednecks or the southern term is Parrot Heads. This breed of human is just like a regular redneck but they prefer to live at and on beaches usually near very cheesy pastel colored resorts from the 1950's.
Anyway you ever have one of those moments when you do something that doesn't seem to be a big deal to you but it really offends someone? Even if you were joking around and you find out it annoys them on a level that you can't possibly fathom? Yeah, this is where I reign supreme. My kingdom of bad timing and offense. Population 1.
yeah I don't even know what to say or do at this point. This might turn into another one of those "great things" that could have been had Mark not been a MORON...I am starting to have quite the collection
