Well today was a pretty awesome day for me today in school. I finally finished my wobble engine and it actually works! I'm so happy that it worked and since i was done with that in the morning, i was making the parts in a software we use called Solidworks. Solidworks is like a cad system but it enables it with a 3-d image of what the part looks like. Here is one for example:

I wish i could make that lol. But it;s a learning process and i hope to make something that cool one day maybe make something videogame related? But in all seriousness i managed to finish some pieces of the wobble engine and hope to finish it and get my portfolio ready before the end of the year. I know some of you were wondering what is a wobble engine. Well i can't get a picture since my only camera is my phone and it's broken, i decided to just show you a video of what it looks like.

There you go! It's a sort of like a mini steam engine and it consists of about 12 diffrent parts. What we used was regular stock of steel and brass and in a couple of weeks we managed to finish. The only thing we didn't use was the hose connecting to the base of the part. Instead we drilled a couple holes on top of the base and have an air pressurized hose go into one of the holes and that would make it run. This was our last project of they year and pretty much we are just going to clean the whole place before school ends. Now you know some information about what my trade does.

My gaming day consisted of me not playing Naruto. Instead i put in another new game and that was the launch title Perfect Dark Zero. I only have this for the GTASC and this was the right time to use it. We are in second to last place and with about 25 hours left before the week ends, i felt like i needed to get some good TA points. Hopefully my team can help with this even though they all just found out like yesterday that i was a one man team this week lol. If we make it out of this, i think that will be pretty F***ing amazing.

A-Z challenge featured some nice completions today. First one goes to Watty8883 for completing Puss....In Boots! Nice dude! Then it was Eliphelet77 for completing Terminator Salvation. It was 6 hours they said, and when i completed it i did it in 3. Anyways congrats to you my friend! Then last but not least, the wonderful xCherrYXx completed The Secret of Monkey Island:SE and Monkey Island 2! Congrats to you!One again if i missed anything please let me know.

Well today for me was pretty good. I got my project done and now all i have to do is a portfolio. That project can actually help me get a job out of my trade because companies would be impressed of me making such a complex project like that. I hope you guys were interested in what my trade does. I really should get back to playing some Perfect Dark Zero now lol. With that my fellow TA friends, i will see you all later

Today was yet another good day for me because of just how everything went throughout the day for me. Once we started working on our project i had only one part to make and it was the tiniest piece of the whole entire project. I wanted to get it done so i tried to work as quick and as accurate as possible. I finished it in about an half hour but i could have done it in less time but i just didn't want to rush making it just incase if i messed up on it. Then i was ready to put all the pieces together to make my wobble engine. Then once i was putting some of the parts together, one of my friends told me that some parts need to be locktight together. Locktighht is kinda like glue but it's mainly used for metal pieces when they are pressed in or something similar in that state. Once i found that out i went to go put the locktight on the parts that needed to be there and what do you know, i have to wait till tomorrow to finish it. Damn it, i wanted to be all done today. But i have to wait until tomorrow to completely finish it and hopefully get a good grade on it. So i had to help with some other things since i pretty much didn't have anything to do and just waiting there . I seriously hope it works tomorrow or else i will just look like a complete idiot for not doing it right. Also once i got home i damaged my sleep habit again and took a nap right when i got home. I'm not good at this. Since my phone doesn't work anymore and i use that as an alarm clock i have no idea what time i'm waking up at. So every morning when i get up now, i check the time on my xbox and if it's too early i go back to sleep for a little more and then wake up and get ready for school. But sometimes there is always "distractions" sort of speak during around the time of Midnight and 3AM. I'm not going to go into any detail but it's all because of who has the room right next to me. Some people might know what i'm talking about and it usually happens alot. Just my F**king luck man.

My gaming day consisted of me trying to freaking get the 2 100G achievements i need for Naruto:UNSG. It's literally f***ing taking forever. I'm at 79% for titles now and 72% for ninja info cards. I absolutely SUCK playing online and i only got 5 titles from that. This is probably going to take me till Saturday at the rate i'm going, but since i'm in a 360 voice challenge starting soon, it will help me get some a deserving 100 points in the beginning of the month. Hopefully i can win that challenge and get that awesome prize of 4000MSP!! A-Z challenge didn't feature any completions today but i might just be a retard and forgot something. So if i did please let me know.

I's seriously hoping everything goes well tomorrow and this weekend. I hope i can get a good grade tomorrow for my wobble engine and i'm hoping my team in the GTASC finally realizes that i can't do this on my own this week or else we are going to get eliminated. So if any of you guys want to play any of those game that i mentioned on day 100 tomorrow please let me know. I will be home around 3:30PM EST and i'm usually on most of the time. With that my friends, i will see you all later.

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a good day today just like me! Well for most of it. At first i thought it was just going to be another day where i make absolutely ZERO progress on the last project of the year and surprisingly, i managed to only make one more part and then i can start assembling it. I know i have messed up alot and i know i won't get a good grade for it, but i'm still happy for what i have accomplished throughout the years. I know for a FACT that i'm not the best in my trade, i consider myself one of the worst to be honest, but i always try my hardest to these things. I do get laughed at for some things that people think are pretty simple to do but i don't see things straight as most people do. I always try to find an easy route on a problem and that might take me longer than what others do but i don't really care. I do what i do and you can leave me at that. My grade in the trade is very well so far because of how i have been messing up all the time but at least i try on what i'm currently doing. I always here these voices saying that i should never quit and never give up even when i'm feeling down and depressed. Each and every blog i type up is 100% truthful and if you think i'm talking BS, then unfollow me, block me, i don't care what the F**k you do. Yes i know i'm 17 and yes i know i'm still in high school but i should get respect just like others do right? You bet! Sure high school kids think that blogging is just posting pictures and just writing one word responses but i take the time and tell you all of what my day has been. Most of you guys might of just followed me for the A-Z challenge but at least you're reading right? These voices in my head have helped me through alot and i know i sound crazy but it's really true. It has just brought my attention to talk to you guys about that since i had a pretty good day overall. I'm not crazy so don't call the Mental Hospital lol.

My gaming day has consisted of me trying to complete Naruto:UNSG. I managed to finish the rest of Survival mode and got more collectible based achievements as well. The only ones i need now are the two 100G achievements which is for collecting 80% of the titles in the game and 80% of the ninja info cards. Both i'm really close to getting(Ninja Cards 67%, Titles 71%) but i want to try and complete it before Friday so i can send it back to gamefly and get a new game early next week. I also have been working my butt off to try and get achievements for my team in the GTASC since it looks like i'm working all alone right now. I hope they pick up points soon because we are 4-5 teams ahead of elimination and that scares me because everyone goes hectic on Saturday which is the day of the elimination. I might have to start another new game just to keep my team afloat.

A-Z challenge featured 2 new completions today and the first goes to DeathGuard 123 for completing Flight Control on the ever so popular windows phone. I really need to get one of these just so when i'm school i can earn achievements! Just kidding....but seriously i want one! Then it was Eliphelet77 dropping a 2K6 bomb on everyone for completing the easy 1-2 hour game, NHL 2K6. Easy completion, but who cares? Congrats to the both of you! I did get the ones i missed yesterday so don't worry for that and if i missed any today, please message or comment.

Well today may have been a good day but it was an effort one. I always think that i might just fail at my trade and when i get older i would have no idea what i would do. But then again i know i always know i have support from my family and that is one of the things i am thankful for. My blogs can either be happy or sad but it's always depending on my mood for the day. I'm hoping you guys can understand why i write like this as a diary or journal sort of speak. I'm always happy to see that you guys comment, so feel free to even if you're just saying hello. With that my fellow gamers, i will see you all later.

P.S- I'm kinda curious about the next blog leaderboard update, i wonder why???

WOO!! 100 days of blogging into this project and i love it! I know i had some days when i just wanted to quit but those never fully back me down on these things. My day consisted of me just going into and on and off mood just because of the heat inside and there is no AC at ALL. It's a trade week and since i only have one part left to make(i think, not 100% sure) it felt like i wasn't doing anything right even though i was getting help from a friend of mine. I have also been trying to fight off taking a nap throughout this whole day so i can fix my sleeping schedule and was that a mission. I would just lay in my bed for about 30 seconds and right when i was about to fall asleep i just get a smack to the face from my sister and she kept on saying "wake the F**k UP!!". It's the 12 year old sister not the 7 year old, that would have been a little more scary if it was from the 7 year old. So i just kept on playing Rock Band 2 and a little of Naruto: UNSG with a fellow MA gamer, X1ooobirds. Dude, you're too good at the game man! Lol, but good luck towards you're goal to 100K and have fun playing Dragon's Dogma! I wish i could get that game. But i managed to get a few achievements in both games so that was a little better too!


Since i said yesterday i would post all the games i would like to boost in(or at least i think i said that) here are the games:
Stranglehold
Battlefield 3
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith
Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock
Need For Speed Carbon
Rock Band 2
Crysis 2
Bulletstorm
NBA Jam
And a bunch others that i don't currently have because they are being borrowed. So if any of you guys out there would like to play any of these games just comment below or send me a message her or on TA. If you want you guys can just send me a friend request also, i don't mind at all.

. I have always loved being apart of this community for the past three years and it has been always amazing to meet some new people from here and making new friends. I know i get a little shy at first when i talk to new people but once i talk to you guys more often then i'll get used to it. It's just has always been like that for me so thanks to all the gamers here on TA that i have met for being so nice and generous for helping me out towards my journey. I also want to thank the people who have commented on any of my blogs and helped me out through some tough situations through these 100 days. I do feel sad on some days and you guys would be there to help. Plus these 100 days have helped me get more and more gamerscore and TAscore for my overall rank and the competition i'm in, the GTASC. I hope to talk to more and more gamers in the TA community and make new friends out of it. It has been really fun for me aand you guys will always have a spot in my heart. Maybe one day i might actually see you guys in person but that won't probably happen till i'm done with high school because you know...mom can get a little protective lol. So thanks to all of you and i hope we game with each other more in the days to come!
With that my fellow TA gamers, i will see you all later.

P.S- I didn't see any completions today for the A-Z challenge but i will fixing the leaderboard up tomorrow.

Hello everyone! Hope you're day was good or just starting to get good. So on this monday i went with the rest of the household to go to a flea market. If you don't know what a flea market is, just picture a giant yard sale at an empty area and there you go. So we went there and sometimes i wonder how they get all these things which i think is pretty funny. I actually convinced my mom to get me 2 games which were in good condition(the guy showed me the disc if it had any scratches) and my sisters managed to get some cool headbands and nice shades as well. Even though they took the pair i WANTED!!! Oh well, i'll just take them and they won't probably notice. After that we went to an actual store and i got a couple new shirts just but i simply asking my mom if i could have it. Then finally we went to go get some chinese food and boom, there you go all because of me asking. I was begging for everything today and i don't know why. Just one of those days i guess. But once we got back home it seemed like everyone's mood was all pissed off because my sister kept on saying she hated me even though i had no idea what i did. Then my cousin kept on being bossy about things as well which you usually see around my house but she was all nice in the morning and then back to her original self again. When something good happens, there is always something bad going to happen back.

My gaming day consisted of playing more Naruto:UNSG but i got tired of playing it when i reached the fifth level of the Advance Survival. I made progress but just didn't want to play it anymore. Then after that i decided to play one of the new games i got today and that was Rock Band 2. The songs in the game are pretty good and i will probably play this more until i get tired(even though that will take awhile because of me falling asleep again). Too bad it's near the end of music mayhem because i wanted to get the 1,000,000 point achievement and a few others but that looks like it won't happen. Now it's just back to regular boosting sessions on June 1st for me then! If anyone will like to help me get the achievement in Rock Band 2 that will be appreciated. I also need some help in some other games as well but i will post that on a different day.

A-Z challenge featured one completion and that goes to thebigbadtoph for completing Gun. An easy 1000G but a completion is a completion so congrats to you! Leaderboard update and the top three for retail are:
Watty8883- 11 Letters to Go
thebigbadtoph-17 Letters to Go

If i missed any completions today please let me know. I don't usually do but i'm not always perfect on these kinds of things.

Today seemed like it was a good day to spend more time with my mom and grandma but i kept on asking for things that i wanted. Still was nice if you just take that part out of it. I also want to thank my followers for just commenting on days that they like to and just for being there when i needed it. Thanks guys it really means alot. Well i have school tomorrow and i probably won't be able to go back to sleep for awhile so i' going to play some more Rock Band 2 or Guitar Hero:WOR. I'm still not sure yet. That's it guys and i will see you all later!
