Apprently Chris, Joe, Courtney, Brain, etc. Will be going go carting tomorrow evening then bar crawling. He plans to cover the downtown Portland Mcminimns and get a beer or a drink of some kind at each one following a healthy dinner. I don't know that I would be down for the bar crawl but thats ok. I don't know that I/we will be going yet still have to talk to Tiffany about it. She doesn't like carting so much.

Tonight will most likely be spent in front of the cool glow of the 32inch Trinitron showing us a movie as thats what we ofen do Fridays. I should wash my car too and update the site. I've got some updates ready to go up just not up yet. They aren't very exiting updates though.

The weather was fantastic today too. One of these days I really gotta use my tough up paint and then eventualy get some wax for my car to keep her perty and shiny. Beth and Stephaie both liked her plenty last weekend. You know you do or will love her once you meet her.

Today work was CRAPASSTASIC. It seriously pissed me off. If everyday was like today I would not be working there anymore. Jon may be coming over after work to play some star craft with me. I'm just glad i work with some relatively good people. At least the ones I'm friends with anyways.

I've got a small list of updates/ideas/changes to make to the site that will hopefuly be happening soonish. Nothing major. Nothing major for a while anyways.

I got a thingy from the car dealer today. It half asks why I haven't been in for service. They assume that I've been enjoying my car, which I have been. They also assume I've put serveral thousand miles on my car. Most cars oil change comes around 3000 miles. Mine well recommened is about double that try about 5,000-7,500 miles. I have yet to put 3,000 on her. I may have broken 2,000 by now but I don't need an oil change just yet. Not to mention the Toyota dealer would prolly send me to BMW for the oil change cause they couldn't find the oil filter (it's located on top unter the fan shroud, not on bottom like most cars, Not to mention its filter filter not a filter canister thingy like other cars.) DAMN I LOVE MY CAR!

Looks like we will push over 400Mb this month. Another all time high for JNS, as ern like to put it. Some sites push 4gb a month some push that much in a day. But the trafic is a good sign that there are more people stoping by and maybe some reading and visting and checking back from time to time too. Hard to say from the crap data my Host gives me and I don't feel like paying or aranging a diffrent method of stats parsing/analyis.

Been watchin moby videos this afternoon. I'm outa top gear i think.

The best show has to be TopGear. I highly recomend finding some of the video's out there on the net. Downloading them and watching them if you like fast cars, some humor and crazy ass driving this is for you. It should be on cable here. mmm VW Corrdo VR6, M3 CSL.... I wanna make car videos now. Some of the camera work is just great. Good editing, and music.

I bet we can guess what I did again this evening.

Tomorrow is Wednesday. Halfway through the week. Growing ever closer to over. And closer to paid which means time to pay more bills. Stuff for my car too. Just got to figure out what or hold on to it and save to afford something bigger and better for my black beauty.

So you people who actualy play here need to sign up for the forums. Right now its really lame and I'm lonley there. Noone else has registered.

Good news. I got my 1st issue of wired since December. Damn that was a though sterch and the longest I've gone in several years. Seriously like one of the greatest magazines ever.

Spent yesterday evening watching Top Gear videos. Damn we need that show state side. This evening too. Then went for a drive.

Work was work. Answered dumb questions and solved stupid problems all day long. Did get to execute policy a couple times. Dual boot you say? Sorry can't support you. He wasn't so happy. I would be too, but he was dual booting windows and linux so he really had no bussiness calling me if knows a damn thing at all...

A forum should be up by the end of the day. Soon after mass will be removed infavor of the forum. The forum will require you to signup and create usernames, passwords and gather some info like that again. A few of you may get special privlegedes later on down the line. I also have to figure out topics for various sections of the forums to possibly help keep the chaos in check. Maybe a section for News, another for Rants and raves, another site disscussion (things like broken links, pages, suggestions, etc.). So any can post about anything soon. There will be some overlap before I remove Mass confusions to be sure that we like the forums.

Saw my dad last night and did the bday thing with him. Then hung out with Stephanie and Beth. They both liked my car. Beth wanted to drive it right away and seemed to enjoy the ride. Stephanie said something about already wanting a new car and it not helping matters. All from because of my 10 year old Bavarian Beauty. What do you think of Kit for a name? or is it too Knight Rider, even though it was KITT in Knight Rider. Oh apprently there is gonna be a Knight Rider movie.

10:22am: The Forum is up. The look will most likely change some after a while but the info will remain. So join up and start posting damnit.

It's Friday. It's about time. Lisa saved my ass and submitted the time card I forgot to submit. We have a stupid time submission/tracking process at work. All web-based tools there and none of the accessable from anyplace other than work anymore which makes shit like that a pain. Not to mention they take forever to load to do anything on them.

Another long short weekend on the way. Toomuch to do in too short of time. I'm sure most of us know that I don't like doing much on the weekends. The more time doing less around the house the better if you ask me. I did get my dad's gift taken care of yesterday so I'm ok as far as that goes. Then tommorow we got some family thing with Tiffanys family then to Salem for my old man and good friend Stephanie.

The weather is improving again. It got all rainy and crapy for a few days there and has been kinda cruddy in the AM but gotten better by evening.

It has been brought to my attention that there are now 7 pages in the community section and may be a bit over kill to some and a reorganization maybe in order. I've got a couple ideas of how to deal or what to do. So don't be tooo suprised when things change. Also I think about replaceing Mass Confusion with a Forum so anyone can post anything about anything.

Washed my car again tonight. I want tooo much stuff for it M3 bumpers, Moulding, etc... well you know, maybe you don't but you would know. I need to wax it someday and use the touchup paint too. She complained about coolant again. New radaitor would be a good idea soonish..

Work was decent the all mighty little light was black and green for part of the day which means little to no calls. Little to no calls is good.

Got my dad his birthday gift so that i can give it to him come Saturday when we go up to vist. This weekend is gonna be busy again... So much to do so little time.

I bought Star Craft and the brood war expansion pack for it last night. For old time sake and fun. It's an oldie but a goodie. Got plans to play with Mike from Salem and Jon from work soon. I'm rusty still but its ok because its fun. It is also adictive.

Ern you have to chose to publish your posts... just so you know. But I will put the link up to the emptyish page anyways.

Work was crapy as all hell today. I'm in a mostly bad mood because of it now. Hopefuly it will pass soon. Either by playing games or something else.

Gotta call my dad and figure out what he wants for his bday then figure out how to work it this weekend to vist him and Stephanie.

Stephanie called and pretty much cancled hangout plans for today. The problem is we don't have much free time this week but maybe able to make it up saturday evening. Also my dad's bday is this weekend. So I've got to figure something out for him.

My jetblack touch up paint is here. But its very wet out and I will have to get really modivated to actualy put it on once the time/weather comes.

Tomorrow is wednesday. I thought today was for a while this morning for some reason. I guess I just want the week to be that much closer to over.

Ernest has his own page on the way here.... Expect that go up anytime now. Now just to figure out how to get even more people to come and play...

I've got at Collyn's show me to do and ern still has a few in the queue. I'm still working on something for Collyn's but soon, hopefuly.

Stephanie is in Salem for a week. I've got to call her soon ish to meet up and hang out as I don't get to see her much these days as she is stationed in Alaska. Hopefuly tomororwo or she will come crash with us or somethin. And she will get to see my car.

It has been many months since I got my last wired. I'm gonna start sending more e-mails until i start getting them again... They arn't goin to my moms place in Salem. I think they are being held by the mail people because they have something againts me for some reason.

5:28pm: Collyn and Erns now have shown me bowling and a emachines laptop.

Tiffanys Billet grill has been installed and is looking good. it did take more work than what should have been nessary to get it installed but Andy managed to get it to work despite the pieces reluctance to go on.

Chris will be here for the night.

We are currently watching Johnny English... Hopefuly it doesn't suck. It's kinda weak.

Catherine graduates in 2 weeks from today. Tiffany Graduates in June sometime. I have yet to take more college level course.

I'm gonna go now cause I got nothing good to say.

Helpin Lisa more with her laptop today once she shows up. Then it's game night at Nathans. Tomorrow is Tiffany's car stuff and Chris will be crashing with us.

I went to be like superlate for me. Sometime after 1am. I haven't been up that late in a long time now. I am feelin it right about now too. But this is why man has Mtn Dew and caffine.

I need to start saving and or find a way to make some extra scratch. For things like my car, new cds, DVDs, and other toys. Maybe I can start selling body parts on ebay. A toe here, an kidney there. Maybe a transporter? I will figure somethin out one of these days.

I'm not feelin so great. I'm feelin, kinda, ick. So no Kim or Salem for me tonight. Kinda sucks. I could go, But I would feel like crap all night and extra crapy tomorrow. And who knows how crapy for the rest of the week. But we may meet up later this weekend depending on how things go...

Customers were very emotional today. Before 10 am a guy down the row from me had 3 people crying and I had 2 irate hangups. And other agents confirmed the emotionalness of the customers.

Tiffany had a chimchanga. I had a vedn-o breakfast. I found some poptart type things in the vendo at work and dropped them in the toaster and got a chocholate milk from the other vend-o.

I feel like takin a nap. But its too late for a nap... Maybe a drive?

I got the BMWfilms in the mail on DVD... A perk for owning a BMW free short films... YAY! I've been digging extra on a underworld song (the group not the movie) since I saw it in a Audi S4 Vs BMW M3 Video that I downloaded... they comment that the Audi is like a dinner party, civilized converstation, a glass of wine, and perhaps Sade (i think thats what he said) on the HiFI (sade being the one who sings smooth operator). Where as the BMW is more like a 2am BBQ on the beach. cut to m3 with Underworlds Born Slippery blaring.. Then cut to S4 with Smooth operator... then both cars and the M3 zigzaging all over behind the S4 and when its behind the audi its just smoooth operator... fuck it see for your self... Ern will enjoy Kala too.. Tiffany has seen me watch it at least 2 times if not more.

I got a very interesting call today around 11:30am. More on this later I'm waiting for more info.... Sounds like a very possible false alarm. But they are looking into things. No biggie I thought it may be a false alarm. Just someone got some paper work messed up.

Gonna be a busy weekend. May go watch some auto-cross saturday (not counting on it cause the guy i know doesn't race saturday,but he does sunday). Then sunday it's up to Aroura to get Tiffany's stuff installed. Tomorrow movie... There almost isn't time for binge drinking...

3/5ths of the way done with the week now. Friday I'm gonna fly(drive) solo up to Salem to catch a movie with Kim. I haven't seen here since the Oakenfold concert in Dec02. Solo because TIffany doesen't get off work until after movie starts. Friday will be a lateish night for me... This weekend will be fairly busy actualy. Got stuff goin on Saturday and Sunday.

Murray, the cat. Is extra affectonate today. He hasn't left me since I sat down to check the sites I check once I get home. He is purrring away and just being hist cute fuzzy self.

I sold some of my old stock stereo speakers from my car. I got about $30 out of them. I think I'm gonna use it for a 3 series enthuisats guide. Cause I'm just a little obsssesed or something... Enthusiastic if you will... I tell you would be too after driving or owning one.

The M2s will be out sometime next year... MMMM and someplace in the range of 20-30k... but that means everyone will have one... but thats ok.. Maybe I will getone one day.. Or a M4 once those come out... the number are going back to BMWs old style evens=coupe odds=sallon/sedan

Tiffany has joined the ranks and has a page now and can author in the mass confustion section so lets welcome her... also Kala has shown me her duck friend...

Stupid rain... Made my car extra dirty... I'd like to blame the alley way too and the stupid fucks in big trucks who drive through it too fast and stir up lots of dust. So far I haven't found a place in this town who carrys good car care stuff. So more internet ordering I will do when the time comes for such products. Some of the kits I've found are around $90 but they are good stuff and make car pretty and shiny...

I think also got the comments working for the showme section... But not sure because I'm too lazy to test.. someone should do that and let me know.

This week seems to be crawling already. Hopefuly things will pickup later in the week. No matter.

This weekend Tiffany gets her Billet grill installed by Cats boy friend Andy. And Cat may get her pictures taken for graduation annoucments.

Ok I think I actualy got the photo comments fixed. Also added another dating resume from Tiffany as well as a new Show me yours entry. Ern I'm getting too you again soon. I promise.... We don't want everyone to think Ern is a show off do we?

My old speakers from my BMW sold for $36 on ebay. I was gonna be happy with $15 but perfectly happy with $36. Now just to find more stuff to sell on the Ebay. Maybe my old bond VHS because Tiffany got them all on DVD for me for X-mas.

The site is doing record traffic this month. We are 11 days into the month. Already over 130Mb has been transferd. I think the previos record was around 300ish. If this keeps up that will be surpassed. I'm pretty sure the new images added to the photo section and my car's page have something to do with it... Just checked yes the account for about 44% of the traffic this month. Still cool if you ask me though.

She maybe ok. I added more fluid a couple times and things seem to be holding more steady now, I have yet to driver her again but will find out soon enough.. Still getting the tail light message from the obc, which doesn't bother me nearly as much as the coolant message...

Yesterday Tiffany's friends Rachel and Sara came to vist. Had some steak that I grilled up. Good times. Now I just need some more friends around here. So far I've got 2 that I sometimes hang out with outside of work. Natahn and Lisa. Sometimes others but thats usualy at Nathans game night.

Today is laundry. Tomorrow work. Friday/Saturday is pay.

9:02pm: Touch up paint on the way... Gonna dewax her touch her up and rewax once I find a good enough wax. If I ever get to park off the alley and street I'm gonna get Zaino... It make car pretty....

I've got the coolant. Now I just have to figure out whats up with the taillights. The OBC now tells me Tail Light Failure. So I'm looking into that tomorrow when I take care of the coolant. From the looks of things at the forums I frequent its just a bad/weak connection or something like the blub being in backwards. I love the little computer but don't like what it tells me... 1st "I'm thristy give me coolant." ok baby... then "My ass doesn't light up like it should" I looks good to me baby.... The plus side is the smoked side markes now hide a orange bulbs just incase it wasn't legal to be having clear/regular lights in there.

No Kim today which kinda sucks I was looking forward to it. I'm up late and posting late. and No Mike yesterday. Timing didn't work out. But no biggie its still good. Did get dinner with Lisa after running the car errands.

Tomorrow is laundry. I hate laundry day. Means leaving the house and wiating for Tiffany to do the laundry for several hours. Not much fun. I've got a other things in mind before we head out there like the car stuff and finding a smallish bag for the trunk to hold random car stuff like spare bulbs, leather wipes, engine code tool... well you get the idea...

Ern has sent in more showme things but I want to get more people on there so it doesn't look like its all Ern... Which it basicaly is at this point... With the exception of Owen's posting... Its been getting a fair ammount of traffic just no one seems to be that interested.

9:00pm: Fluids where added. Fluids left again. I have a coolant leak. Tomorrow I am gonna see about an apointment for her. Grrr. Annoying I tell you. It may be something simple like a hose needs to be replaced or a tightened but it still sucks. I may take a closer look tomorrow I may just not drive it again until it's time to get her to where she needs to be to get fixed. This maybe covered under waranty but it may not be which means I get to pay out the nose to fix it. It's a good thing it's just a toy not my ride to work or anything...

It is damn nice out. My car thinks it 85 but its because its black and warms up.. I know my car thinks its 85 out because I just installed the OBC. One of the bulbs is a little finickym but its still good. It also says I need to check my coolant level and to see the owners manual to do so... I knew i needed to do this. This is just more modivation to do so as well my car will tell me everytime I get in or out of her... The engine cut code feature doesn't seem to work but that is most likely because no alarm to do such a thing with. But one out of about a dozen isn't so bad... The pictures of the smoked sidemarkers are up. Now just to find the orange bulbs so they look orange when the blink, and to add some coolant.

Now to see how the weekend turns out. Mike? Kim? Laundry? Something else entirely. Something fun hopefuly at somepoint if not fun then very lazy and relaxed... Lisa is going to "A Perfect Circle" tomorrow night in my old stomping grounds... Salem, at the Armoury, which is right next to where I lived before I moved here. So she is gonna have fun.

I maybe getting another new supervisor soon. If i do it will be my 4th. And I won't have had one long enough for a 90 day review... which is funny and sad, good at the same time though...

Glovebox fixed. OBC waiting for pickup at post office tomorrow at somepoint.

Tiffany and I had beers at Nathans and BSed with him for a while. He really wants me to take my car to auto-cross...

We got a new dating resume today. I am still waiting on Cat and Ernesto. Cat has it done aledgely just wants to look it over a few dozen more times or something along those lines. I should scare up some more.

Tiffany is way too upset about fedex not being able to find our place for her packages. They find our adress for my stuff ususaly. but not hers...

Tomorrow is finaly Friday. Mike should be showing up tomorrow to hang out and to get his huge poster. Still awaiting word from Kim about Saturday.

The stuff section of the site now accounts for alittle more than 25% of the traffic. While the quotes page accounts for just less than 40% of the traffic. While the community section accounts for just less than 10%. But thats ok. There is more good info and stuff that people actualy are interested in the stuff and quotes section of the site so it's all good.

Window goes up. Window Goes Down. Window Goes Up... It works the window has been repaired. Go ME! Also Changed my side markers. I would go take pictures now but she is a dirty girl right now so pictures of them after I get her cleaned up some. Now To find orangeish lights for the sidemakers. I'm excited to have her fixed again though. Seriously the next thing will be a window tint. Those new 5 series BMW look vicious... I like it...

The week is officaly more than halfway over which is good. Not good enough but good. Mike and Kim should be good if it works out. Which is hard to say at this point. But hey thats ok. I think I can make it thought the week. Not like I have a whole lot of other options.

It has taken me like 3 hours to write this much because I keep doing other things like going to bmw-forums. Checking e-mail, and eating.. So Now I go for drive.

Hopefuly Fedex can find my place tomorrow. They have been known to not find us before. The OBC is coming via USPS so they should be able to find the place no problem.

This week seems to be moving a bit slower than last. Last seemed to move entirely too quickly. No matter it pays the bills.

Mike may vist on Friday. Kim may vist on Saturday. It's still up in the air so it's hard to say. But I haven't seen either of them in well over a year. Beers with mike, hangin with Kim. Both should be good.

Lisa may be crashing on the couch or in the den next week. She is having apartment issues right now. Keep in mind becareful who you roommate up with is the lesson to be learned. The roomie whos name on the lease moved out and was like never around or anything and land lord seems to have found out and Lisa has been booted. Which sucks for her.

The part i need is on its way. Hopefuly I am talented enough to fix it and didn't/dont' break anything else. I want my part damn it. And my smoked sidemarkers... Pictures of those will come once on and window fixed. But window 1st then sidemakers because window will be well a bitch. Just another delay before the stop at tint town...grrr.

Woohoo got a new show me today from someone who doesn't live here (no offence ern). Now just need more people to show me theirs.

Talked with Mike online for like hours. I havent talked to him in like over a year. Crazy stuff. I'm like that though, lose tough, get back in touch... ebs and flows of it like that...

So I was tring to put a new window sill rubbery thing on my car yesterday because the one I was replaceing was curling funny and I didn't like it. So I tried to fix it, went to a wrecking yard got what I needed and tried to install it. It was nearly all good before I fuckin broke it. Now the window doesn't go up right and I need a stupid plastic piece to get it working again or to take it to the dealer if that fails and pay out the damn nose to get it really fixed. So I drove for Wilsonville to Salem with my window down then I saw Tiffany laying on the floor over the seat because she was so cold. So we pitted in salem and got the window up. Still a gap but its up for now. Today we hunt down the part on the net or start callin places...

Yesterday was good except for the car problem.

So I pause while posting and surf then come back and write more. This pause I found what I needed at Bavarian Autosport I love these guys. So part and smoked side makers will be here within the week.

Ernesto has sent me a few more show me items that I will once the nessary modifications to the images are done, and I find mine then upload the files and update the database...(its easier than i make it sound) And yes Ernesto there is a comments feature on the way, and was on the way before you asked for it I just wanted to get the main portion working.

Another attempt to grab some traffic has been added. I like to call it Shome me yours, and I will show you mine. How it works is you send me a picture of yours. I then put a picture of yours up and then a picture of mine up. Now "yours" can be anything you want it to be. It can be the view from your bedroom window, it can be the shoe you used to squish that bug, your favorite key, be creative anything goes*. I've gotten 1 so far from Ernesto. I just need more now, so send a picture of "yours" to me(ben at junknstuff.net) with your name, city, state, title of the picture, comment/brief description/explination. Once you do I will show you mine.

I washed my car today. She is happy clean again. But I fear a waxing is nearing nessary the water doesn't bead as it should. But before I wax I want to polish. The polish I want isn't in autozone so I have to spend more and order it. I will take something like a week to do the whole process because I'm pretty lazy and have never done it before. But she will be oooh sooo pretty.

Soo glad its weekend... Now I just need something to do.

I had even more call just get out of control today. I did manage to have a bunch kept well in check aswell but the 165min call really fucked my numbers. Fucked numbers in my line of work is not good.

I am soooo glad to morrow is Friday. I just may start the binge drinking tomorrow. But other weekend activitys may interfear with the drinking. Tiffany was talkin about goin up to portland to vist her cousin. Maybe even gettin Andy to do her Cold Air Intake.

Another full moon is comin up and Tiffany and I have tenative plans to take our cars someplace good break out tripods and take some moonlighted pics of our babies. er rides... I am still taking sugestions for names.

The weather is great again. Hopefuly it holds for the weekend agine. We need to BBQ again. Perhaps have someone over this time. Perhaps not. I need to eat something.
