Friday, October 16th, 2009, Practice and Qualifying rounds.

So today started at about 6:45 am, with me having this weird dream that I had woken up later, but before we were supposed to meet for breakfast (10:15 am), and yet all the guys in the group kept telling me that no, we were supposed to meet at 7:45. It made me confused and sad.

So then i sat around watchign Samurai Jack for awhile till we had to leave, and then we went to Barnies Beanerie. It was pretty fucking delicious, and they ACTUALLY HAD CORN BEEF HASH OH MY GOD. After brunch, we went back to the hotel, geared up, and then piled into a van, and went to the track.

Irwindale is a lot smaller than I thought it would be, but the acoustics were great; there was a Pro-Am series going on before the practice and qualifying rounds, which was pretty bitchin, though I never saw any of the cars.

Meanwhile, we were treated to the pitts, or what they consider the pits.
It.
Was.
Awesome.

You get to literally walk up to any car and stick your head into the cabin, touch them, etc. Though as we neared the event, the Falken team put up fences around the cars.

The cars themselves were beautiful, and sounded even better! Aside fromt he actual drift cars, I saw a really wierd widebody 240SX, with the rear hatch window replaced with a testarossa-ish panel. Plus, there was a super clean Nissan Silvia S15. Very pretty. Once we got past the initial shock, the PR guys took us to the Falken base, where we got to check out all the cars up close and personal, before they brought out none other than Vaugn Gitten JR! The guy is super cool, and I felt super out of place since like, everyone had or does own something fast already. But yeah, it was a great time, we joked around and asked him about his car, along with him showing us his daily driver, which turns out to be a Protoype model from ford. Like, there's only 1 in the world thus far, and he drives it every day. Fuckin rad.

So then we wandered around a bit, I drooled on some fast and pretty cars, and sweat out like, 80 pounds. Soon enough, I met up with a couple of the kids from the contest, as we were wondering where the VIP trackside seats were. Soon enough, we found the spot, but none of the other guys were there. It was so rad, I nearly lost it. We were literally on the side fo the track, and when you first walk up to the stairs for the stands we had, there was a spot where you could literally reach out and touch the track, though that would've been frowned upon by track officials had I done that.

Oh my god the noise..and the smell...and the rubber particles...It was heaven, i swear. it was me, the GT-R guy, and one of the Subaru owners just sitting there on the stands, cackling and taking pictures of the cars as they slid past us (I have a couple nice tandem shots, along with a fantastic shot of the Boso/Falken Rasta S15) But yeah, awesome spot to be. I just wanted to bottle the noise of that one Scion's Nascar V8 and keep it forever. IT WAS SO GODDAMN LOUD. That, and these two Supercharged G35's sounded like pure evil, I swear. Just screaming as they powered through the turns.

I finally decided to walk around and stretch my legs, as well as check out one fo the Hankook Subarus; he had hit the wall pretty hard right in front of us, but I dunno if they got it fixed. I ended up picking up a sick Nissan Silvia hat, as well as plenty of free swag, along with a Silvia SR20DET t-shirt. Guess what I'll be wearing tomorrow ;).
Afterwards, i was walking back to the stands to see the qualifying rounds, and I spot not one, not two, but three of the new Nissan GT-Rs. The GT-R kid I was with immediately was like, oh hey, those are the Bulletproof Automotive cars...ben Schaeffer must be around here somewhere!

After we wateched the Qualifying rounds for awhile, we finally decided to head back to the hotel. Afte rwashing up a bit and changing our clothes, we went out to this fancy and loud resteraunt, where me and the GT-R guy decided we were going to be drinking that night. I had this amazing ginger crusted salmon with a bit of wasabi, along with mashed taters. SO GOOD. Meanwhile I had an Irish Car bomb, a two Gin and Tonics, and a Gin Martini. I don't like Martinis anymore. After dinner, the PR guys boosted outta there, leaving us to find our own trouble. 5 of us decided to head down to Old Town, where the "Strip" is. After a bit of wandering about, we decided on a 3-story club that was pounding away on my eardrums. I had another car bomb, along with another gin and tonic, finishing up with a Stella Artois. By then it was about midnight, and I was hammered. The guys were laughing though, so yeah, no harm done. I basically turned my asshole knob up a bit, and started flirting hardcore with chicks, waggling my eyebrow at them and crap,a nd shouting with my brogue, all amidst dancing and having a fantastic time. The highlight of the night though was when i stepped out to try and see if anyone would give me a cigarette, but i couldn't seem to find anyone. So finally I just relax outside when I look over and there's three guys in the back of some lowered Inifiniti, laughing at how shitfaced i was. I laughed too, which made them laugh more, and then i got down to business. Using hand gestures, I asked if any of them smoked at all. At first they were like, Uhh nah. Sorry bro. but then as they drove away, they whistled and threw a Camel at me. Whoever you guys are, I thank you.

After wandering aroudn the club with the guys a bit more, I finally decided to head back. i was ready to pass out. After stumbling around Pasedena a bit, I finally was able to flop onto my bed.

I write this now hungover, with an empty stomach, and I'm still waiting to hear if I can ride with Rod Chong, the Creative Director of Speedhunters. EA apparently is lending him the Shelby need For Speed Terlingua Mustang, which is pretty and fancy and fast and loud. Yeah. That'd make my day ;)

Well, I'm here now in the wonderful hotel (it's pretty bitchin, not gonna lie), and yeah, I love it. SoCal is a lot more smoggy than i remember it, but Pasedena isn't so bad compared to downtown Los Angeles.

Since this is a car-related journey, I've started a quick journal of the nicer vehicles around here thus far.
4x Datsun 240Z's
1 Nissan S14
2 BMW E36 M3's...
that's it thus far, but expect more!

The flight was awesome too. Y'know how most flights have dull, off-white lights in the cabin? yeah no. This flight had bright pink and purple. Fuck year. That, and I had wifi, and a power plug for my laptop, along video games, movies, cable, etc. Pretty snazzy. the only downside was that almost all the food cost an arm and a leg, and having not eaten any breakfast, i broke down and got this chicken wrap for 9 bucks. but it was almost worth it, surprisingly. I spent the majority fo the flight watching Samurai jack <3

But yeah, when i walked into my room, I found the 360, a hoodie, a shirt, a hat, a copy of NFS Shift, and a new Messenger bag sitting on my bed, along with an itinerary for the weekend. Fuckin fancy stuff men.

Okay, maybe pussy was too harsh a term. Scaredy cat maybe?

But yeah, the bings ones seem to be spiders, snakes, bugs, etc. Pshhhhhh wimps. I laugh in your face as I go catch a garter snake and pet a tarantula. I dunno why it irks me so much when they have like, airrational fear. Sure they look gross, but that doesn't mean ya hafta be scared of em. /rant.

I just recieved a link posting all the winners for the contest, and although I'm last on the list, Methinks me and another guy did really well (he had another Skyline story) compared to the others, but thats just my opinion.

http://www.needforspeed.com/web/nfs.....authorId=91892

Jesse Kennedy is the other one I liked; the rest are just photos of sick rides. Not bad entries mind you, but Me and Jesse seemed to put together more effort for the whole thing, aside from the video entries. But yeah, click on the names to see the entries and such.

...I won the contest. Me and the guy in charge of this contest are currently trading info back and forth regarding the travel details. As far as I know I'm flying out Thursday, october 15th, and returning Sunday, october 18th. Ima be in the Pasedena area, so yeah. I might meet my dad there at one point, cuz he'll be in the area, so yeah.

Which contest, you may ask?

The EA games Sweet 16 contest, that's what.

http://www.needforspeed.com/web/nfs.....authorId=13007

I dunno if the link will work, but here's hoping.

This is the details of the prize.

Need for Speed is celebrating 16 years of gaming by giving away 8 VIP packages to the Formula Drift Championship in Irwindale, California. There are only a few days left to enter (contest closes 9/30/09) and the VIP package includes: airfare to and from Los Angeles, luxury transportation to and from the airport, 4 days and 3 nights accommodation at the AAA 4-Diamond Westin Pasadena, track-side seating at the Formula Drift Championship, and a Need for Speed swag package including an Xbox360 console, an LG EnV cell phone, a NOS cooler filled with NOS Energy Drink and more!

That's right. All that stuff. According to the rules and details, only winners will recieve emails. I got one tonight. I can't sleep now. Holy shit.

And how did I win this competition, you may ask? By writing about my trip to Los Angeles, and the subsequent visit to MotoRex.

Here is the letter I sent them.

"Hiya EA and Speedhunters,

Having heard about this rather magical-sounding contest, I decided that I had the perfect tale for your ears (or eyes, since you'll be reading this.) That story is that of when I made my first (and sadly, last) visit to a famous little shop called MotoRex.
Now, as most GT-R fans will know, the original R-Series Skylines were never allowed over in the States, as awesome and pretty as they were. From middle school up, I was like every other teenager who had seen the Fast and the Furious movies. I liked tuning up the cars and basically making them into rice rockets. I didn't know much about true style back in the day; I just thought they looked cool, and that was that. As i grew up, I learned more and more about the GT-R, and became rather fond of the BNR32 GT-R...something about the lines of the car, and the heritage behind it; I was enthralled upon hearing about it's quick claim to the title of "Godzilla"! I researched the hell out of the car mainly focusing on the R32, but also the R34 GT-R as well. I learned about MotoRex, and could recite by heart the process that the shop went through to provide US citizens with their own japanese supercars. I was fascinated with it, and yearned for the moment that i could go and visit, maybe even go to pick up my own car...

But then in my junior year of high school, my parents surprised me and my siblings with an announcement; they were planning a trip to Los Angeles for spring break. To say the least, i was excited. I immediately began planning on how I could convince my parents to make a detour to Gardena to check out the shop, and finally they said yes, just to get me to shut up.

So the trip finally comes around, and it's all fun and awesome and sunny, and we had plans to go from Los Angeles to San Diego for a couple nights, then drive back to LAX for the return trip. So on the way down, we made a quick detour; as we pulled into Rosecrans Ave (i believe that's the street; I'm rather surprised I still remember it), I was all smiles. Tire marks adorned the cul de sac all over the place from various customers trying out their new wheels in the simplest way possible. However, it was sunday, and the shop was closed. But there were still a few nice looking cars outside the shop. A green S14 and a 240SX with an S15 front end conversion sat side by side, along with a couple Hondas. I snagged a couple pictures (attached below), and went on my way down to San Diego.

We had a good time there, and got to see the zoo and all that (I especially loved the penguin exhibit) until we made our way back up. During this time, I had called MotoRex again to see when their hours were, and if it was alright to come check out their garage, huge fan, etc etc. It wasn't until we were on our way back that i got a call back from them, and they said yeah sure, we got the R33 and the R32, come on down! After much begging and pleading, we made yet another detour.

Now, when they said that they had the R33 and the R32, i thought they meant that they had one of each. Which was fine and cool by me; I'd still get to be in the presence of my favorite car of all time! Imagine my surprise when we arrived to find a not only a Team Falken S14 int he doorway, crammed full of tires (I later learned it was being taken care of after one of the Formula D rounds in New Jersey.), but about a dozen or so of the R33 and the R32. There were 2 of the R32's on jacks, one with it's entire front end taken apart. Me and my family walked around, my dad checked out the Drift car ("This thing has 400 hp? In this little rice bucket?") my mom took pictures, and my siblings futzed around and made fun of me for being such a car nerd. i ended up talking with one fo the mechanics there abotu the RB26DETT, about whether all the models put out the same power, have the same ATTESSA AWD system, etc. it was amazing. I have NEVER smiled that much in my entire life. Ever. I wish I could have gone there at my age now, knowing what i do at this age; i would have had so much more appreciation for the cars around me.

After hanging around for about 45 minutes or so, we decided we had to get a move on and such, but not before the mechanics told us to hold onf a second, and ran into the back to some shelving. When he returned, he handed me two rolled up posters of an BNR34 taking a corner. One is currently in my room at home, and the other hangs proudly above my dorm room bed. Again, i cannot stress enough that I have never smiled that much in my life. And I have yet to do so again.So finally we say our thank yous and goodbyes, and go on our way, but not before we drive by Nissan of North America, along with a few movie studios, which was pretty cool to see.

It wasn't but a few months later that I read that MotoRex had been shut down due to shady business practices, which upset me quite a bit. But I gotta say, I'm really, REALLY grateful that i got to go when i did. Living in Massachusetts, there's practically no decent japanese imports int he area. Maybe a JDM Integra, or an NSX here and there, but nothing too fancy. But now that the 2009 Nissan GT-R is sitting on showroom floors, I've had the chance to see a couple of them in person (The first time I did was on the highway, and I nearly crashed out of pure excitement)

Anywho, that's my story of my trip to MotoRex. Hope y'all enjoy it!

Thanks a bunch for reading my story,
Benjamin Scannell"

I'm still not 100% sure that I won everything, but here's hoping.

..to say how much I FUCKING HATE PAINTING.

I hate it so goddamn much; it is not my medium, I hate it, it hates me, and that is why on almost every painting project I have, I get a bad grade. Because I hate the medium. i gave it a chance. i really did. the closest i came to liking it was with acrylics. and I still hate painting. Watercolor is the devil in paint form, and guache? Guache is fucking hitler, i swear. it wants to murder my patience.

..thinking peaceful thoughts, thankful for a Saturday where I'm not hungover like a little bitch. Last night was a great time, even though I got the wind knocked outta me by a chick punching me in the gut (I told her she sucked at being sober, so I mighta deserved it a little bit), and then getting kicked for whispering naughty things to someone from across the room. That one was weird, but oh well. Anywho, I believe I have the Frenchman in my friends apartment; he decided to make 2 boxes of Mac and Cheese, and everyone descended on it like hawks, myself included. It ended up being forgotten about at one point, and after people left briefly, i devoured the remains. Thank god i did.
I also, as people who know my phone number found out, ate a scorpion. No, not a live one (as my sister somehow thought), but rather one of the ones ya find in lollipops that are sold in the west (think Grand Canyon gift shops). it wasn't bad, kinda crispy, etc.

I think the highlight of my night was in one moment where this girl I hate, Kerri (she's a fat ugly sad cunt all the time, and has been quoted at aying that shed be happier if her friends were sad like her) was tackled by the other chicks there. Just playful rolling around and hugging and laughing and such. But apparently Kerri couldn't handle that for more than 30 seconds, because all of a sudden she bellows that she wants everyone to "get the fuck offa" her right that second. I, being the hyena I am, was cackling for this situation, as she immediately got up, grabbed her stuff, and left. No words, nothin. Just sad emo fat bitch running away from a good time. it really made my night.

Anywho, thats all for now. i hafta find a way to feed myself somehow.

Because it is far, far too expensive to keep doing it.
This is my tally for tonights purchases:

One large tube of Titanium White
One large tube of Ultramarine Blue
One small tube of Cadmium Red Medium
One small tube of Mars Black.
One 16"x20" canvas.

My total?

$66.53

WHAT THE FUCK I JUST PUT 100 BUCKS IN TODAY.

..me and my roommate are making the Luther Burger, based offa the sammich in The Boondocks.

1.25 lbs of beef
tomatoes
grilled onions
0.5 lbs of bacon
peppers
2 glazed donuts for buns (there's no Krispy Kreme shops around campus)


Guys....help?

I'm legit scared right now. Expect me to be outta commision for a couple days maybe just digesting this thing.

...sucks balls right now.

My roommates have taken it over, and have fucked up the feng shuei of the whole room. To start off this rant, I'll give you a list of the furniture provided in the apartment living rooms:

2xside square tables. about a foot off the ground.
1x long coffee table. same height.
1x couch
2x chairs
1x entertainment system thingy.

So, the couch is on one side of the wall, and the entertainment system is on the other side.
Now, on to how they fucked it up.
Kevin and Vick are big time halo players. it's all the play. Vick is better than Kevin, because he gets high and then zones in on the game. They are the type of players who will only play on analog TV's because there's apparently a slight lag on the flatscreens. Kevin, however, brought a bigass flatscreen. it is pretty. and big, and I like it a lot.
Jon will never play on a 360 because he's a sony fanboy. So he has a seperate, smaller TV for his PS3 that he claims is "calibrated specifically for his PS3"

-Kevin and Vick have taken up the two small side tables for their respective analog TV's. Jon has taken up the Coffee table for his TV and PS3. My ps2 is on the floor, and can be hooked up to either the Big plasma or Jons TV. I get a better picture on the big Plasma, so I keep it hooked up to there.

So now we have no tables, and the two chairs are up in front of the 2 analog TV's, which are in front of the big Plasma. I suggested we try to condense things, and free up the coffee table and move the PS3 up to the big screen TV.

NO WAY DUDE IT'S NOT CALIBRATED LIKE MINE. PLUS IT HAS NO REMOTE.

Um, so? I use the big screen all the time for my games on the 360, and I dont give a shit if I hafta get up and TURN IT ON BY HAND. Wow Jon, yer lazier than me, and I'm the fatass int he apartment.

I dunno, i feel like a dick for whining about a lack of tables in the apartment, but it's just super fucking annoying to me. i hate it. I'd be happier if Jon just played his PS3 in his room; he's a lot more annoying when he plays NBA 2K9 online, especially when it glitches on him, which it apparently ddoes allt he fucking time. he just whines in the most nasally voice imaginable. It takes every fiber of my being to not tool on him. which would just piss him off, because when he's stressed he apparently cant take a joke. especially when it comes to video games.
kevinis at least entertaining to watch play, because he literally will jump around and shout at the top of his lungs when he wins really badly. Vick is silent pretty much the entire time he plays.

So yeah, thats my rant. I'm try to convince them to rearrange it all this weekend. I WANT A TABLE TO PUT SHIT ON.

If you saw ME in the back of a cop car, what would ya think i was there for?

...it's totally not cool guys.

I did it last night finally, and now the middle row of buttons won't work right. Like, they combine the middle and bottom rows. it's annoying and wierd. So yeah, don't expect any replies from textx anytime soon.

Because I'm fairly certain she gave my friend Sasha the idea to withhold my birthday present until I pay back her dad for the whole ticket thing from last semester. Yes, it's a legitimate thing to do I suppose. But it's one of the biggest dick things to do to a person. Like, what the fuck? Okay, so you buy someone a birthday present, and then decide to withhold it from them because they made a mistake. Okay, sure, you're a massive fucking cunt. How does Kerri fit into the equation? How about because she's a flaming vagina who can't bear to see other people happy? how about that? because that's a pretty good description of her. I hate her, and she hates me because I tend to be very happy-go-lucky, and am also extremely lucky when it comes to my overall life story, as compared to hers, where she can't manage a fucking relationship to save her life. So what's she do? Make everyone around her miserable by belittling, making fun of, and just being a massive fat bitch to everyone around her. So yeah, please go tell her to shove a pineapple up her cunt.

...What's that? It's time for you to make me miserable? Oh, okay. Yeah, sure, that's cool.

Oh, hey there homework. What's that? You're going to kick me while I'm down? Oh yeah, yeah, that's fine.

So me and my friend decided to go on an adventure today. I had found out about this diecast model shop south of Boston, so I decide to take a trip down there. On the way, we forget about the tolls to get through Bean Town, and thusly pull off quickly to get some moneys. Once we get to the tolls, I accidentally pull into the EZ Pass only lane (for those of you not int he know, an EZ Pass is a small device you put on your dashboard, and allows the tolls to take the money from your bank account directly...or something like that). From there on out was smooth sailing.
Except when we got there.
So, I had expected it to be this shop in like, a stip mall or something of that nature. Somewhere you could walk into and look over their inventory and such, y'know?.

I was wrong.

It turns out that the "store" is just the distribution office, with many boxes laying around with a couple empty display cases strewn about. Plus it seemed liek it was closing up soon, so there was that too.

All in all it was a fun day, with the two of us shouting ADVENTURRRRRRRRRE every chance we got.

So, In the past year i purchased gifts for a number of friends. That was when i had a steady job, and could afford to buy crazy awesome gifts for people.

Now I have no job, and a lot of stuff I want to buy. My birthday is coming up very soon, and I see it as a way to get things from people that I can't afford right now. I feel this is very greedy of me.

is it wrong of me to semi-expect people to return the favor and get me presents for my birthday? I mean, some of these people just can't afford anything for themselves as it is; being in the same position as me.

I dunno, I feel guilty. and the stuff just keeps coming; for those of you not in the know, i rather love the Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R, in red. I haven't been able to find a diecast model of such a thing...till last night.

http://www.allcarmodels.com/acm/KYO08361R.html

I'm fairly certain it's a britain based company, so the shipping would prolly be hefty...
Either way, I rather like this. a lot. Rawrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr shameless self promotion.

Now, when the PSP was originally announced, Polyphony Digital, the producers of the Gran Turismo series, said that they were going to be releasing Gran turismo mobile with the new handheld.

That was back in 2004, when the PSP was released.

Finally, in this years E3 expo, Polyphony has yet again announced that they are actually gonna be releasing GT Mobile finally. And this time, they've put a release date to the game: October 1st, 2009.

I now have a reason to get a PSP, and I shall be getting my hands on one asap.

Now for the stats:

-800+ cars.

-35+ tracks, including the Nurburgring Nordscliefe

-4 player multiplayer over wireless. You can also play over the internet using Sony's new Ad-Hoc program (I think you need a PSP to do this though)

-2 exclusive cars to the PSP game, the Ferrari Enzo and the 2009 Nissan GT-R Spec-V. You can, however, send these to your GT5 file via wireless, so they're sorta going the way of Pokemon in a sense, where certain versions get certain Pokemon that the other doesn't.
--In addition to sending cars to GT5, you can also trade and send cars to friends over wireless, which is pretty nifty.

Yes, i creamed my pants. The ultimate Japanese Racing game on the go.
Fuck. Yes.

So, in the recent month, there's been an influx of things that I've found on Amazon that I would like to purchase, and has started to clutter up my wish list. The main thing being the announcement for Gran Turismo on the psp. This is awesome. However, I need to get a PSP first, which i do not have. So, I've made a seperate list. On top fo that, Autoart seems to enjoy releasing new models that I love in packs. So i made a seperate list for that too.

Why am I telling you folks all this? Because my birthday is coming up, I am poor, and I am shameless. I feel guilty asking, but yeah.

There's also the proposition of doing a drawing for something off of the list. I'll do a full color character picture, and I'll draw anything but gore/death/violence.

Though to note, the 20 gb HD and the Datsun keychain has already been called dibs on by a friend. So yeah.

The main wish list:

The Diecast Models (Warning, high prices ahead)

The PSP list (Note that i dont have a PSP yet, so yeah)

i call them this morning to find out what the deal is, and they're finally like, yeah, well, we dont need ya right now. kthxbai.

Fuck my life.
