Acidburn's journal: New job duties

As most of you know I am an Avionics tech. For the past 8 months I have been gunning to get engine run qualified on our GIV model aircraft. Most people don't like this because it is a huge responsibility for no extra money. Anyway, During my "Engine runs training" class if we finish early we get some sim time. I'm not talking about some meephole 5 monitor set up in your moms basement. I'm talking about realistic full motion ball tickeling excitement. A simulator that is so realistic that you can get certified to fly a plane with this simulator without actually touching the real thing. After passing the normal bullmeep and some emergency procedures meep I got to do a full take off, fly for a bit than shoot the approach at Aspin,Co. That was such a rush that I couldn't wait to get into a real High power engine run. Well. today was the day. We taxied out to the run up area. Performed a half assed breef on what we were going to do"I obviously ignored it". When I started the engines I was kind of stoked. Not alot but a little. Than came the time to bring the engines up to power. As I grabbed the throttles and slowly inched them to Max EPR"<-- Thats how we rate maximum power you meepers" you could feel the plane lurch forward and have this powerful shake going on. For the first minute I was tweaking going over my emergency procedures in my head over and over." What if I jump the chocks and start skidding? Fire? Fan blade failuer?" Than it hit me...... The one thing all the other engine run guys told me would happen. As I sat there at full power I thought" All I have to do now is set the flaps and release the brakes and I could be flying this fuker easily." Even though in todays state of fuked up hightened security I would get shot down the urge was so meeping strong. I think I will get my pilots license now. The simulator was cool but after sitting in the real thing I'm still rubbing my chub.

Acidburn's journal: Fakeism at it's best?

I love the outdoors. I love hiking, beach walks,Driving in the mountains with the windows down. What I can't stand is people. I find that I hate going to the store for anything. I do not care to see over happy kid with his/her fake Wal-Mart,Target or Albertsons smile. I hate the way they brin up conversations with me like thay have known me for 10 years. Me= Putting food items othe conveyer belt. Register meep= Ohhhhhhh looks like we are having a BBQ today. Me"Thinking"= No meep. I always buy charcoal and meat products on Saturday mornings. Me outloud= mmm hhmmmm. The fake attitudes people have now a days sickins me. Everyone is forced to "act" polite at there jobs and appear to be happy. I have no problems sitting at the bar and supporting alcoholism and talking with people I don't know. I once got into a conversation with a complete stranger about ways to get our misses in the mood for some back door action. I guess the bar is actually group therapy if you think about it. The one time I almost accepted a credit card offer over the phone was the 1 time I recieved an honest call. It went something like this.

Acidburn's journal: Unexpectid

6 years ago while watching the tube with my "EX" I recieved a call one night. It was my brother. It started off as a normal call. Hey dude. How's it going? Than he asked me "Are you sitting down" I replied "Yeah". He than flat out told me" Moms dead. She had a massive heart attack and they did the best they could but she had a hidden heart condition and they couldn't bring her back" WHAT ? 55 years old and no one caught this problem? The best health care in the world and they all missed it? How the meep could this be? I sort of got over it. Alot of crying with my dad and brothers at the wake and funeral. But life goes on. It was completley unexpected as she didn't have any issues that we ever heard about. She ate right and was very active. So... tonight while at the park watching a friend play in his band, some of us are drinking beer, some of us wine and having a great time in the calm summer breeze. Listening to there rendition of the Eagles my other friends phone rings. Due to the music he splits to get away from it. When he returns he breaks the news to me. He said " Ummm.... That was Nelson on the phone. You won't believe this but Bob died of a massive heart attack today" WTF? Are you for meeping real? Yes. While doing his 2 weeks a year meep with the Air Force. They said he just dropped. They did CPR till the medics showed up but there was nothing they could do. I can't meeping believe this. His last day before he left I was on the road"I travel alot" and didn't get to say goodbye or anything. Not being able to say goodbye is what hurt the most because it will be to a hollow shell of a corpse in both insinstas"spelling" All I could really say to lighten the mood tonight was "That meep head owed me 5 bucks!" Not really meaning it though. I'm just venting tonight and don't need replies. Just a little shell shocked still about having 1 less friend in this world. Night all. I will drink tonight in his honor. Good night Bob. Gonna miss you bro!

Acidburn's journal: Hong Kong

Simply put. I've been here for 2 weeks now. We delivered the plane 2 days early and these guys are meepming all over the place. I've been offered a job that equals to 6800 a month US dollars. EVERYTHING here is cheaper, but I'm away from the good ol US of A. Has anyone ever made a huge jump like this? I have the option of a contract to arange airline tickets and meep. Maybe a few more options I'm sure. I'm nervous about moving this far away from family and friends, but I am excited about making new friends"and cheap meeps".

Acidburn's journal: Surgery

Ok, I smoked cigerettes for 16 meeping years, incluiding pot, acid, crack and coke, and speed"crank" and whatever else i could ingest at the time. ButI ignoed a problem that has got to the point that I can't ignore anymore. I have a growth in the back of my throat next to the Uvula. I ignored it for abot a year butit got to the point that I gag alot now. Not the gag that you get when someone else throws up. But out o f the blue GaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaG. So the doctor looked at it and said it's either a growth form genitl warts "Holy meep" or from smoking " cancer" but he's not sure. I went to theEars Nose and Throat meeper who said it doesn't look like any STD he's ever seen.

Acidburn's journal: Airport bars

As I'm sitting here, I am listening to the multiple convos going on. Behind me is 2 strangers shareing a table. The 2nd patron "Jo" has not shut the meep up about her grandkids- wedding, baseball player and lawyer. The 2 meeps infront of me have determined that 1 of them is a suicidal christian"dunno". The table to the far left of me is still an unknown of WTF they are doing in an airport bar but someone has the "when the Saints go marching in ringtone". The mixture of people at that table is so meeping diverse that I think they are family or some meeped up meep. After 4 beers and 3 shots of tequilia I just realized that I'm getting paid 66.82 an hour to drink. Man I love these people! I love errrrrr hate this bar. So meep you whatever I SAID IS A LIE AND YOU CAN'T HOLD IT AGAINST ME WHEN YOU TRY TO FIRE MY meep. I AM A LIAR :) God I hope I don't lose my job.
