“I don't do ultimatums. I don't give them. I don't take them.”

This is how I wasted away the mid-90’s

While I sit here waiting for Half-Life 2: Episode Two to be released, I might have to take a trip down memory lane at the DOS Games Archive. Actually, I’d really, really like to find Quake 1. I haven’t played that in close to 10 years, and even then it was on my old first-gen PowerMac 6100.

There is No such thing a Soul Mate

“Looking for your soul mate can do no good. Doing so will only cause people pass by perfectly compatible people, with kind hearts who given the chance would make a good husbands\fathers and good wives\mothers, but may never get the chance because they don’t live up to this impossibly high standard. Stop looking for a soul mate and start looking a good compatible person and love will follow. If you do find\have found love, feel free to call him/her your soul mate as it’s still romantic.”

Triumph Rocket III

I swear the Rocket III is going to be my next bike, unless the rumored 1500cc Triumph cruiser, bridging the gap between the 865cc America/Speedmaster and the 2300cc Rocket III, comes out and looks badass. The R3 I buy will be all black - blacked out engine and black paint. Darth Vader’s personal ride.

The only question is whether they’ll come out with an R3 touring model, and how much it will be. The base Rocket retails for $15k. Corbin saddlebags are $1500. Corbin solo seat is $500. I’m not sold on the new Corbin fairing, but it runs $1200. Might just go for a windvest instead for $330. Exhaust system, K&N airfilter(s), floorboards… ::sigh:: Probably looking at $20k by the time it’s all set up.

Hmmm, I should probably buy a new car instead…
