Watched Fast and Furious 6

I watched Fast and Furious 6 on opening night, and I have to say it's one of the better ones in the series.  You get the strange cheesy stuff you get in the rest of them, but they have intense races/fights and it's actually really funny.  The movie is kind of long, but when you are watching, it just seems like you are and in and out.  I WILL buy this when it comes out, but I am also a big fan of the Fast and Furious Series.










SPOILER (highlight to read)

There will be a 7th one, because at the end of the 6 one, they show how Han dies in Tokyo, and the character that does it is played by... Jason Statham. 

Graduated = Complete

I finished post-secondary school (Gordon Cooper Technology Center) and I must say it feels odd and amazing.  I have learned a lot, and hope I can find a job, and further my knowledge of computers and networks.  I couldn't have done this without friends and family support.

Special Thanks to: Instructor, classmates, my (now) ex, and my wonderful family (they paid for it.)

If I had glass

#IfIHadGlass is a hash tag for the Google glass that has recently came out. If I had Google glass, I think I would use it while I work and doing anything interesting that wouldn't have a chance of breaking the glasses.

Imagine what I could record/take pictures of at while I work at Walmart.

I didn't do this, but I know who did

This is what cart pushers do when you park in front of a stall.  The stalls are to put carts in, so we can go by and gather all of them at once.  We don't need you to create a new parking space just because of it.  This was taken a while back, and I didn't do this, but it's amazing the public opinion of when they see it (the public opinion is how funny and they usually take tons of pictures).  There was no harm or damage cause, but it's really funny. 

This should be a "TIL: Don't create a new parking space by parking in front of a cart stall."  

Walmart is interesting.

Last day of Gordon Cooper

Today is my last day of school at Gordon Cooper and I must say it is awesome and it is a weird feeling.  I will be looking at maybe going to college, but most likely i'll just go job searching.  I have improved my knowledge of IT so much in just a year, and it's actually kind of neat to say everything I have done. I guarantee I could:

• Build a network
• Make "straight-through" and "cross-over" cable
• Set up a printer
• Backup/ restore windows
• troubleshoot computer/networking problems
• Improved communication skills

It's been an amazing year.  I have had some personal things that have been good, and some that have been bad.  I got my Motorcycle license, "ex" and I broke up, noticed how easy it is to spend tons of money on lunches, made new friends, learn a bunch of miscellaneous knowledge that will probably never help me, and I have probably missed a bunch of stuff.

Since this is my blog, I have to do this, but....

If you are in Oklahoma, and need a entry level IT guy/entry level networking guy, then I am the guy for you!

Have a question on twitter?

Just include hastag: gtcsportz and ask away!

Want to Help Moore, Oklahoma

Oklahomans are asking how they can help those impacted by the Moore tornado. The Red Cross says it has several ways to give.

You can go online at www.redcross.org and donate. Call Red Cross at 1-800 REDCROSS. Or you can text REDCROSS to 90999, to give $10.

The Red Cross is also asking for blood donations. The Red Cross atwww.redcrossblood.org explains how to donate.

And the Red Cross has a database where you can search for people in the Moore area who are okay.

safeandwell.communityos.org

The Red Cross says the list is not complete and asks you check back from time to time as the list is continually being updated.

A New Drink

This morning I wanted some chocolate milk, but we didn't really have much chocolate milk, so I started looking through the refrigerator and noticed some Orange Juice.  Next I found some cranberry juice, and I mixed about 10 oz of orange juice with probably a few ounces of Cranberry juice, and it came out delicious!

I'm not sure exactly the measurements, but I just kind of poured them into a tall cup.  It looks like a redish orange color (Kind of disgusting color), but it's tasty!

All you need to make is:

• Orange juice
• Cranberry Juice
• Cup

What are some different mixes of drinks have you came up with?  Please Share!

Cool Boat I saw today

I'm not sure What kind or anything, but it was probably the coolest boat I've seen at Walmart.

Google's new Music Streaming

Google introduced many cool things at their I/O Conference.  The one that caught my eye was the Music Streaming.  The price isn't terrible either, at a low price of $9.99.

You can listen to the 20 million song library, and the radio. The radio is sort of like pandora, but instead you know what songs are coming up next, and you can either remove them, or switched the order.  Another thing that is neat about Google's Listen Now is with the low price of $9.99 you get unlimited skips.

You can look at it at: https://play.google.com/music/listen#/now

What are you now?

I saw this on my way to school today. Long way home too.

Google Search Tips and Tricks

Google search is a powerful tool, but you may not be even grasping how powerful.  Here are a few cool tricks.

• When you are searching you can type a dash (-) to exclude as in:

Looking for paintball markers?  You can type:

"Paintball markers -ball" and You'll get searches for paintball markers, but not for paintballs!

• Want to search a website?

You can type "Site:" to get a site. Example:

Want to find my journey to a motorcycle blog post? Type:

"site:gtcsportz.blogspot.com journey to a motorcycle" and you'll get a search result of journey to a motorcycle with only gtcsportz.blogspot.com.



I will continue to update this as I learn more and have more time.  Thank you

If you want me to include something please comment!

Journey to a Motorcycle part 2

So far, I am having issues finding a suitable insurance.  This is the biggest downfall.  Insurance companies pretty much rape you in the price.  The difference between someone 19 and someone 25 is about $2,200, which is ungodly priced.

If what I have found, it'll be a little less than 300 dollars a month for insurance and motorcycle that I want.

I still want a motorcycle and this journey shall just have to be a small speed bump in getting one.

Do you remember when you first got a motorcycle?  Did you have much trouble? How old were you?  Let us know and share your story.

Journey to a motorcycle

My journey to a motorcycle has been interesting.  It all started with a dirt bike, and now it's blossoming into a sports bike.

I have all of the clothing besides a helmet, which I found one and will probably buy it tomorrow.  The Motorcycle I want is a CBR500R.  So now I'm looking for a loan and insurances.  I'm thinking it'll set me back around 300 a month.

Why should you take the MSF

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) is a course you take to get to know a motorcycle and learn how to stay safe and prevent from getting into an accident.  Motorcycles aren't like cars when you are in a crash.  You don't have all of the protection you do, while you are on a motorcycle, but you need to know how to keep safe riding.

I just finished the class and I have to say that I glad I did.

In I passed my MSF I told you I passed and kind of went over what we did and how I did on my tests.  I was nervous the whole time, but I knew I could do it.

The Driving test was way easier than I thought.  We had to do two small U turns in a "box" without going over the lines, then had to go through an "S", then had to shift up to 2nd gear around 15 MPH and stop in the shortest distance after you passed the two cones and making sure you down shifted.  There were six people in the class and all of us combined didn't pass 21.  If you scored 21, you failed.

The Written test was much more dull and boring.  It was mostly common sense on what to do and the knowledge part of riding.  I only missed one, due to not thinking fully and just writing the one I first saw.  This doesn't bother me seeing as I still passed.

Upon completion of both, we received a card (you can see it in I passed my MSF), and I have to bring it down to the tag agency to get my license!

The main reason why I say anyone should take the MSF is because of learning to prevent from hurting yourself.  You also can get a discount of up to 15% off of your insurance.  The class I took cost $183.00 and took two days of about 13 hours total.


I want a CBR500R bike, and I need to buy a helmet, then I'll be good to go.

I passed my MSF Course!

Today I finished the MSF course.  Once I got over the fact that this isn't much different than a dirtbike, it turned out very well.

I noticed I kept trying to put my foot down, which is a dirtbike kind of thing to do. So I'll have to work on that, but overall it was really easy.

On my driving test I missed NONE! and on my written test I missed 1.

It was about the 4 second rule.  I know it, but I second guessed myself, but it's alright.

I will be getting my license tomorrow at lunch!  I should be getting a motorcycle pretty soon too.

For proof:

I started playing a new game

I have always been a huge fan of the command and conquer series.  Ever since the orignal command and conquer, through red alert 3.  I haven't played the newest one, but I do want too.  I just found out there was a online game called "Command and Conquer Tiberium alliance".  It's actually pretty fun, but due to the lack of development it looks sloppy.  I started playing yesterday, and I like it so far.  I have heard once you get higher to around 58, you are kind of stuck and it gets boring.

Thanks, and I hope to see you there!

New England Patriots 2013 Schedule

I am a huge Patriots fan, and I decided I should post the schedule on my site.

Here you go!

My Prediction:

Week 1: Win

Week 2: Win

Week 3: Win

Week 4: Loss

Week 5: Win

Week 6: Win

Week 7: Win

Week 8: Win

Week 9: Win

Week 10: Bye

Week 11: Win

Week 12: Win 

Week 13: Loss

Week 14: Win

Week 15: Loss

Week 16: Win

Week 17: Win

Final: 13-3

week4: Patriots Defense Starts an early tough game vs. the Falcon, I believe Falcon's attack will be too deadly for a young Patriots Team.

Week 13: Patriots have always have had a upper hand vs. Broncos, but we'll have to see how Welker holds up.

Week 15: I think It'll take the Dolphins a while to get better, and Patriots will already have clinched playoff and might not play starters so late in the season.

Installing Crouton to my Chromebook

I will be following: How To Geek on how to install it.

Crouton On Chromebook

I will post what happens in chronological order:

• Restarted my computer to turn developers mode on (hold esc+refresh and tap power button)
• Waiting for developer mode...Took around 15 minutes
• On the following screen I had to push ctrl+D to start
• I logged in normally
• Downloaded Crouton from how To Geek
• Pressed ctrl+alt+t to enter crosh (command line)
• then followed how to geek 
• Installing Crouton took a little less than 2 hours to complete
• I have linux and I can switch back from xcfe and chrome OS

I'll update later on if I like it.

Pros and Cons of Google Docs

You know what Google Docs is, but do you use it?  I have been using it fairly often now, since I don't want to buy Microsoft word, but I do have some complaints, but I also have a lot of good to talk about.

The Pros to Google Docs:

Auto Saves
Free
Cloud-base so you have it anywhere

The Cons of Google Docs:

No Column support
Drive isn't very organized


If Google can figure out column support,  I think Google Docs would be an amazing choice to change.  There are some schools that are converting all of the Microsoft word into Google docs, for the ease of availability, free cost, and for the upgrade factor in storing in the cloud.  You never have to worry about losing anything.

Watched Iron Man 3

Iron man 3 has had a ton of hype, and I must say it lived up to it.  There is my action in this one than the previous two combined.  I thought everybody did good and it was amazing.  The Beginning kind of started slow, but it quickly got faster and better.

Movie felt kind of long, but I would go see it again.

Why I want a Standing Desk

You might think: "Why would you want a standing desk?" Or you are thinking: "What is a standing desk?"

A standing desk is a desk you stand instead of sit down.  Pretty self explanatory if you ask me, but the next question is why? 

The reason I want a standing desk:

• Shorting time
• Healthier
• Saves Space
• Unique

I wouldn't stay at a computer just sitting there or browsing stupid stuff, and instead get up and do something. I can't count how long I'll sit at a computer doing nothing fun or productive just because I don't feel like getting up (No... I'm not lazy.)

This brings in the Healthy part. Most people slouch in a chair, and don't take breaks often enough, which in turns eliminate any good sides of sitting down.  I must say, you don't want to be at a standing desk all day.

Saves space:  Instead of having this huge desk you can just have enough room for the monitor, keyboard, and mouse, then put everything underneath it.  I think this would make my room seem much bigger, than it is already.

Unique:  Not too many people have standing desk compared to the regular desk you sit at, so this makes it unique, plus if you make it by yourself, or you built it from premade material you'll have your own custom work (Yes, you could do this with a sitting at desk too.)

I want one, I don't know when I'll get one, it might be a few years, but there are a lot of good things that come out of it.  Tired of standing up?  Buy a stool and take breaks every few hours from standing to sitting on the stool.

Thank you!  Do you have a standing desk?  Want to show us?  I will post the top 5 pictures I get next week.
