My Qnet connection was down for a few hours so I didn’t have access to anything and I couldn’t check all that I wanted during the late hours of the night. And its the only time I get to chill in front of the computer to catch up on posts and read other blogs and places. I wonder what is going on, but I was having issues and my ISP DSL was showing no connection to the internet.

I performed all the regular reseting, pinging, and all kinds of steps but nothing worked. So I walked away for a while and then it came back.

Items Shipped: January 31st

Items Received: February 4th

So it took five days since my order for the items to arrive from the states through DHL. Shipping for two dvds through DHL was 4KD, and I didn’t have to pay any customs even though it was checked by customs and MOI again.

As for my other order that was delivered to Aramex which was delivered to them on the 26th of January seems to be stuck in the states for some reason, I dont know how many planes have gone and come yet it is stuck there. It would have been faster if I had it delivered to a friend and then had him send it by DHL. It would have been here by the 1st of February.

I dont know if Aramex can go any slower at this rate.

I was doing a little reorganization in my room to due overflow of dvds, books, cds, and magazines. I wanted to get some free space and I needed to move things which I have seen or read, and I’m trying to rip a lot of CDs to my PC so I can listen to the songs I want without having the CD cases piling up.

I thought what is the hardest thing to tackle first, and that for me is the motorcycle magazines so as usual I put it last and began with the easiest thing to move which are the dvds. After sorting through a few dvds it was relatively simple I just moved all the completed series I had to the top floor which have a few empty shelves. It turned out I had over 58 DVDs which I didn’t need to have in my room. So I moved those upstairs and I easily have a couple of hundred left in my room.

Then it came to the CDs, I organized the CDs so that I rip the ones I know really well, and the ones I’m not sure off I put on them on pile to listen in my car. The most CD listening I do is in my car so thats where I evaluate them best.

Then there were the books and magazines, I didn’t even touch the magazines because I would need to go through them and see if there are any reviews I wanted or specific articles, but I knew that it would be too damn hard to get rid of them! Be it the motorcycle magazines or truck magazines! When it came to the books I just organized the piles so I just kept in my view the ones I haven’t read and their are a lot.

This is just to start things off, I will slowly keep repeating this process until things lighten up in my room.

Today was a bit of a hectic day, the type your on the phone back and forth, running around and talking to people. It was nonstop! I even had a presentation to put together which wasn’t too bad, but it needed slightly more substance and the formating needed improvement. I was really running around with zero time, didn’t get much to eat too much on my mind. Thanks to some coworkers they did the formating for me while I was in some important meetings and they turned the bland slides to some AMAZING styles, I called each and every one of them after work and thanked them for the complete reformatting. It was great, and I really appreciated all the help and support from my coworkers so I’m getting them all Krispy Kreme! hehehe!

I didn’t have a chance to ride this weekend because of the weird weather, but as soon as I got off work around 6:40pm I got home changed got on my bike and went straight to the gym for about 40 minutes of cardio. After that I head home to change and go to my cousin’s dewaneya, but right after the shower I felt exhausted. But before going out I had a salad and grilled chicken while watching one episode of anime. It was good and then I headed out to the dewaneya. It was good night, and I was happy I got some riding in today. I still have a few things to take care of tomorrow but it isn’t too bad.

Going to be an interesting week, I just hope the weekend weather will be good so I can ride. It sounds really bad outside with thunder and a bit windy, I wonder how its going to be in the morning.

I have been using my PC nonstop for the past few weeks doing a lot of things which consume alot of resources and sometimes its a bit slow when loading things, but I can’t blame.

State of my Desktop:

• 4 windows with 67 tabs open
• Uploading 74 torrents through Azueres
• Burning DVDs
• Working on images on Photoshop
• Listening to Music
• Transferring files to other PCs or Network Drives

So my PC does have its hands full so I’m really happy that its surviving all this work, and sometimes while all this is being done I stream anime from the main PC. It will reach a point soon where it will freeze or crash if I don’t give it some breathing room soon. I’m just going to keep going until I really need to restart.

We waited until my cousin finished his mission in World of Warcraft Crusades, he had his guild and playing with his group so he couldn’t leave in mid-mission! So we were already off to a late start. I was starving and he said he would be done by 4:00pm but he didn’t finish until 4:40pm since they were having a tough time with this one boss, but they got him in the end.

Then we went down and we started off with Prison Break Season 2 from the beginning, and I only had enough time to burn the first four episodes to dvd, and I also burnt episodes 11 and 12 of Heroes to DVD.

Prison Break was nothing short of insane! So many characters, so many people screwing up and things going in different directions yet leading to one place! I have no clue where all this is going to go, but one thing is for sure this is one insane season and I was at the edge of my seat! I’m already burning more episodes to DVD to be ready for our next session and to watch as many as possible.

Heroes is still driving me mad! I want to see more, this one episode a week thing is just too much! I need to see what the hell is happening and how is it all connected, I can’t see all the lines, where are there more superheroes and when do they come in! Who is the bad guy!

And we ate a ton of Chinese food (Chicken noodles, Shrimp noodles, Some Special Chicken, and Vegetable Fried rice), we ate too much for our own good. Later on in the night we managed to get some 31 Baskin Robins from the one in Khaldiya but the odd thing is that didn’t have Orange Sherbert which I was really feeling so we went with Chocolate Chip for me, and everyone else had their own order.

What a night, after that I have to go back to the gym again!

I got a family thing to take care of in the morning which is very important, but later in the afternoon I am free and I will be riding for a bit before going over to my cousins place to lounge around.

Planning to watch:

• Heroes
• Smallvile
• Start Seasons 2 of Prison Break

And we will be grubbing down on some Chinese food so I think that we are going to be lazy bums all day long. I hope we finish Smallville, and we catch up with Heroes, and start Prison Break. We have a plan and I’m going to make sure we stick to it! No distractions!

Between all my hardrives and different pcs over time I have duplicated a lot of music and lost a lot of music because of the crashes and transfers. So over the last week I have been getting back some old songs, reorganizing the current ones, and getting new ones. Im not putting them in different folders, I tried that and it was too much of hassle and sometimes its difficult figuring out which genre a song is and I dont want to put the same artist in different genres even though they are in it.

So I made one big file called My Music in the my Infrant NAS and I’m dumping everything in it. There is one file in their called Tehcno & Dance inside of My Music because there isn’t really any duplicates with that, and then I just dump the rest in the normal folder. Right now that made things easier to find and look at.

For finding music I don’t care how I find them, I just want them even if I pay a small fee as long as it is DRM free. I am using four sources to get my music:

• eMule (P2P Program)
• Allofmp3 (DRM Free mp3s)
  
• Oink.me.uk (Private Torrent)
  
• torrentleech.org (Private Torrent)
  

This project will take a little while but I do it in my spare time.

I was running around so much towards the end of work because I needed a few things from people. And I was listing things in my head that I needed to do, I came to the point where I started forgeting things. I needed to crash even though I wanted to take care of other things. When I got home I sat with my mother for a bit and dozed off exactly where I was. I fell asleep on the chair for 2.5 hours and it did me some good. I know I could sleep more, but I thought it would be better to get up and finish it off later in the evening since I still wanted to finish few tasks before the day is gone.

Im the type to avoid sleeping if possible and push on, but today I reached ground zero and couldn’t keep myself up anymore. So the nap helped.

Last night I was operating on low battery, its like when your phone keeps beeping for a charge but you keep it on and you keep making phone calls. I picked up a lot of movies last night from Hawally, so I found a new guy who is got some clear movies and I always ask for DVD copies. The one thing about that area in Hawally is that there really is no parking, and its like a bumper car situation, two cars bumped me and both were women drivers and I was parked! I didn’t care and told them to go ahead since I knew the landcruiser would be fine. So I flew home to meet up with Mark to watch 24 before the guys get there.

I have to say that this episode pissed me off in a good way! This where things get interesting, there are multiple story lines developing throughout the story and you don’t know where any of them are going to lead, and there are a few people that I hate in the show and I want to kick their ass. There is nothing more that I can say, I want to see the next episode!

Then we watched a few movies, but it seemed everyone was tired and I was the one staying up even though I got the least amount of sleep, maybe its because I wanted to watch the movie.  The dinner was the funny part, everyone ripped through it which surprised me, I kept going at the fried shrimp with the “special sauce.” And my cousin kept eating Kubbah with lebnah, there was also a good amount of chicken so everyone was eating. And everyone had to leave early because of work, but only a few of us remained to watch the other movie. It was a good chill night, but I think I will be relaxing only a little this weekend.
