Davio Macnesa Presents …….Kottos vs Majik Balls : Fight of the Century

Well another week in this fine summer has flown by, leaving us with headaches and regretful mornings, but lucky I have a speedy internet connection and nothing better to do. My post are generally crappy and I take a bit of pride but really, I suck as a blogger. This will be my last post as that, I assure you. Since a picture says a thousand words…….

enjoy.

So on digg.com (as usual) I found this beauty. Seems to be a show called “Money Talks”, where they pay ppl to do stuff. The only site that I saw is for some hardcore porn so I have hyper-linked it here. Anywho, they pay this poor sap to catch a ball while kimbo is tackling him……. crunch time for sure.

As a lover of all things wu-tang , I stumbled upon this gem. click picture for full article. MAD Props to CH1C0 for this amazing creation

Well this story begins a couple of weeks ago, when I first started leaking rad fluid (when I say weeks, I mean months). The car had a faulty rad that caused the fluid to leak out excessively and thus making it very hard to drive.

Last week I put some new coolant in the rad help until I got my new rad (thanks radiatorbarn.com you’re the best). Since then it has been leaking pink, almost “milkshake” ooze from the front of the car. Its at my work, house, friends house, street, ect.

I begin my trip to abby (25 min drive highway) but see the strange ooze dripping from the hood as I begin to fill up my tank. Overflow tank completely filled with this pink sludge and no end insight. Wait a record 20 mins to cool down , add some new green coolant to the system and make the break for abby.

Engine temp gauge shows the heat verging on boiling, but I continue to pick up majik balls at his house. Make it to my dads house, where I leave the car and borrow his to pick up my parts. This is my easy rip and re goes a bit on the fucked side.

We manage to get the rad out no problem, but the thermostat housing is completely covered by hoses and parts that make it damn near impossible to get to. Finally get my fingers in there (hehehe) and attach the mighty 10mm socket and begin to turn. Shit was hard like constipation when suddenly POP the end of the bolt comes off, leaving the reset of it stuck in the block. OH FUCK I begin to yell and wish that this didn’t happen.

Good news is that a buddy knew how to get the bolt out using a method of having two nuts (heheh)to maneuver this shit out, a 32^nd of an inch at a time, which translates to over 3 hours of wiggling to get this fucker out.

Long story stort, the rad was so fucked that the tranny cooling lines were actually putting rad fluid in the tranny and tranny fluid in the rad. So the pink ooze was a combo if water, and two different types of fluid. Fluid getting purged as we speak ,but fuck what a job. Its kinda funny as I did the exact same thing a year before (almost to the day) on my firebird, which I sold to by this car. Thanks for reading and promise that these stories will get better.

took some time but her she is a fine member to my growing family:

simply fantastic.

Everyone knows I love the Cowboys, so here is an article that i found on Digg.com

All credit goes to JEFF MOSIER / The Dallas Morning News

ARLINGTON – The new Dallas Cowboys stadium has no seats yet, but some suites already have sliding windows installed. One concession stand has a walk-in cooler, but completion of the retractable roof is still months away.

As the final year of construction begins, the stadium is on schedule for its projected June 2009 completion. But the pace of work has varied greatly around the building as more than 1,300 workers hammer, saw and weld throughout the $1.1 billion stadium.

“The good thing is there’s always work that needs to be done,” Cowboys construction manager Jack Hill said. “But that’s also the bad part.”

While the 400-foot-tall cranes on the field tend to major structural jobs, workers in the suites are installing drywall and will soon start working on air conditioning.

By next summer, workers must complete the retractable roof and end zone doors, install seats, hang the scoreboard, set up the football field and pave most of the parking lots.

The public will “notice quite a bit going on the outside, but recognize that most of the manpower is focused on the inside of the stadium,” Mr. Hill said.

Concrete work on the stadium should be finished this month, and by the fall, most of the heavy-duty construction work will be completed. Then the Cowboys will be focused on details, such as carpeting for the private clubs and installing plumbing fixtures. That also means there will be few new changes to the design.

Mark Williams, associate principle at Dallas-based HKS Architects, which designed the stadium, said it looks very close to what was originally introduced in a glitzy unveiling at the Arlington Convention Center in December 2006. He said there are only a few changes the public would notice.

One of the most visible alterations is the exterior video screen planned for each side of the stadium. Those will probably be moved to the end zone plazas, where there’s expected to be corporate tents and special events.

“There will be bands. There will be a lot of people congregating in corporate tents,” Mr. Williams said. “It will be a lot like the Corral is currently at Texas Stadium.”

With that atmosphere, he said, it makes more sense to have the video screens there.

The numbers of suites also increased from 200 to 300, and the Cowboys decided to add two more private clubs to the six already planned for high rollers in the suites and club seats.

The best-known change, however, was one on paper and not in concrete. Originally budgeted at $650 million, the stadium is now expected to cost $1.1 billion. The city’s cost was capped at $325 million, so the Cowboys will pay for the overruns.

But the team will get plenty of help from sponsors and fans.

One-time season ticket seat options cost as much as $150,000, and a 12-year sponsorship deal with Miller Brewing Co. could be worth $8 million annually, according to the Sports Business Journal. Many millions more are expected to come with a naming rights deal that has yet to be announced.

Mr. Hill said most of the changes were small and spread throughout the stadium. But added up, they helped push the budget over the billion-dollar mark.

The building is slightly larger than originally planned, and the Cowboys also added more restrooms, concession stands and kitchens.

The interior will also be plusher, and that extends beyond the suites and clubs. The concourse was originally designed as painted concrete blocks, typical of most stadiums. Instead, the Cowboys decided to use burnished block, which is concrete mixed with gravel, crushed stone or other aggregate material to give it a fancier finish.

“It’s really shared throughout the building,” Mr. Hill said, describing the cost increases.

As the Cowboys count down to their opening kickoff, the Texas Department of Transportation is also closely watching the calendar. The expansion of Interstate 30 through Arlington and work on three bridges across the highway continues. But it won’t be completed by the start of the 2009 football season.

Val Lopez, a spokesman for the state agency, said the eastbound lanes of I-30 probably will be finished by the first game. But the westbound lanes won’t.

Workers are now digging a trench to lower the highway by 20 feet as it passes through Arlington’s entertainment district.

The new bridge at Center Street is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year, but the new Baird Farm bridge will still be under construction. Mr. Lopez said the Baird Farm exit from westbound I-30 should be completed by then, but the eastbound exit will take longer.

The replacement bridge at Collins Street and I-30 is expected to be finished by late 2009 or early 2010. One mystery still to be solved at the new stadium is the precise number of seats. Mr. Williams said he has a good idea about the seating – expected to be about 80,000.

“We can get very, very close, but you don’t really know for sure until it’s installed,” Mr. Williams said.

He said that what is constructed isn’t always as precise as what is drawn by the architects. Ms. Williams said something that’s proposed to be 13 feet might actually turn out be 13 feet 1/4 inch.

With a venue the size of the stadium, that could add up to enough space to gain or lose a few seats.

Mr. Williams said he’ll miss working on the stadium as his firm responsibilities there wind down in the upcoming year. It’s a project, he said, that overshadows most of his other work.

“All of our clients, whether they are in the sports or entertainment industry or not, are very curious about the Dallas Cowboys and their new building,” Mr. Williams said. “No matter where I go, people ask about the Cowboys.”

Well after seeing how much people read blogs, i figure that I should shout out a couple that I have read in the last couple of days that have made me laugh, cry and want to hurl:

1. Regretful Morning

Caught this one the other day and had to stop reading as I was becoming a disturbance in my workplace. Site is full of those stories that just are so funny that you can see it happening. I personally pictured the guys from american pie when reading these tales, for example:

“About an hour later my friend shows back up at the party with a reddish brown beard.  Apparently she started her (you know what) as he was going down on her, and he was too drunk to know the difference.  Nasty!! “

Classic material for all to say “Shit…..I remember a time”. So I encourage you to stop there an add a few of your own.

2. Conjecture +

This wonderful lady sits next to me and does this blogging thing very well, we were counting the days until she got 500 views, now shes at 1000. She taught me how to get this shit rigged up and it is much appreciated. Her site is mainly about fashion and other assorted goodies so I highly recommend checking it out.

I also have been working on a baseball grid that will hopefully fly me to vegas in the next couple of months to win some real money but until then, happy trails partner

So last weekend I went on an adventure to Ucluelet and it was amazing. Saw so many sites and interesting things, just awesome.

Got picked up after work and headed for the ferry about 150kms away and had about 5 mins to spare.  Rickrolled a j and puffed er on the ride across to Vancouver Island. Once there we stopped in Nanimo and went to Montanas Steakhouse. Food was alright, playoffs were on shit was good, the we got the bill for three ppl for 116.00, the most expensive dinner of my adult life so far. Hit the road and listened to Sirius radio for the next 2.5 hours.

Finally get to the destination and realize we have no place to sleep, luckly there was a pull out couch and we were able to get our sleep on. Next day was action packed, breakfast on the inlet, then cleaned buddies house and went to the dump. At the dump there were at least 30 bald eagles flying, scavenging and so forth, truely amazing.

The time was now set for surfing in the Pacific Ocean. We geared up and hit the waves. I never got full stand motion but rode at least 5 waves straight to shore. Sun drenched and tired as fuck we turned out backs on this surfers paradise and started home.  One the trip back I saw a bear loungin by the road (first time) and then a deer standing in the road, nature at its finest. Frozen lakes and mountainous terrain driving a 96 dodge witha bedfull of shit and canoe strapped to the roof. Made the last ferry with 9 mins to spare.

I totally recommend this trip to anyone.

Well folks its finally here, the official release day of GTA 4. I have been reading and watching the videos that are up and man this game looks so sick I cant wait to play it. Since I have not played the game I have a sample review from our friends at IGN.com:

April 25, 2008 - Criminals are an ugly, cowardly lot more worthy of pity and disdain than admiration. This is what you’ll learn playing through the single-player campaign in Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto IV. The series cheered (and criticized) for glorifying violence has taken an unexpected turn: it’s gone legit. Oh sure, you’ll still blow up cop cars, run down innocent civilians, bang hookers, assist drug dealers and lowlifes and do many, many other bad deeds, but at a cost to main character Niko Bellic’s very soul. GTA IV gives us characters and a world with a level of depth previously unseen in gaming and elevates its story from a mere shoot-em-up to an Oscar-caliber drama. Every facet of Rockstar’s new masterpiece is worthy of applause. Without question, Grand Theft Auto IV is the best game since Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

You play as Niko Bellic, an Eastern European attempting to escape his past and the horrors of the Bosnian war. He arrives in Liberty City to experience the American dream, only to discover his cousin, Roman, may have fibbed a bit in his tales of success. Starting from nothing, Niko makes a living as a killer and enforcer, a bad-ass foreigner who appears to have no morals. The longer we stay with Niko, the more we see that there is a broken human being inside, one who would give anything to escape the person he once was.

Don’t worry, GTA’s famed over-the-top action and tongue-in-cheek humor are intact, but there is a new level of sophistication in the characters and the game world that raises the story above the norm. As Niko becomes mired in the death throes of American organized crime, he begins to become more self-aware. Niko’s struggles with his ruthless nature never inhibit the gameplay, but instead enhance the emotional gravity of a brilliant storyline. The more absurd the action becomes, the greater we feel the very real pathos of Niko Bellic.

Much of the credit goes to the artists at Rockstar North who created as believable a city as possible. Liberty City is inspired by New York, but not beholden to it. While there are many parallels, Liberty exists in its own universe and rightfully so. Many open-world games have cities that feel as if they existed only from the moment you first turned on your console, but Liberty City looks lived in. It’s an old city and each block has its own vibe and its own history.

Drive around Liberty City and you’ll be able to identify each individual block. Though Liberty is filled with brownstones and a myriad of similar brick buildings, you can tell one from the other, just as you can in New York. Go to an affluent neighborhood and the street is likely to be newly paved, the pedestrians better dressed, the cops more plentiful. But head to Dukes or Bohan and you’ll find streets nearly stripped of asphalt, homeless people wandering about aimlessly and criminals preying on the weak.

Blah blah blah ……. click the blue link to see the videos (highly recommended). Once I get back from my business trip, I will purchase this bitch and document my vacation to Liberty City.
