Want a CARFAX report for only $3?
I just signed up for a 30 day membership with CARFAX to obtain a vehicle history report on the ambulance I just purchased. The membership was $30 for a single report, or $40 for unlimited for a month. I decided to go with the unlimited report package and save as many people as possible the $27 on the cost of a single report. If you want a CARFAX report for a vehicle, send $3 using Paypal along with as many vehicle VIN numbers as you want a report for and I will run the reports and email them back to you! If you find other VINs you would like a report for afterwards, just email them to the address below and I'll run them for you. My Carfax membership expires in a month, so send your VINs soon! Send $3 and as many VIN numbers as you want a report for to paypal /@/ ungulate.net. Enjoy! Oryx Current Mood:  amused |

I bought something big.. really big.
1989 Navistar International S1600 Ambulance, built by Road Rescue. 43,500 original miles. It's 20 years old and absolutely immaculate. Spent the day today working on it with m4f0x, fixing a few things and sorting out the electrical system. For those wondering, the light bars were removed, but the unit still has sirens and flashers. The air horn is guaranteed to make you deaf :) Take a look at the rest of the photos in the album! More details to come.. Oryx Current Mood: excited |

What's going on?
Yes, I'm still alive! I've been focusing on a lot of great things in my life in the past few months and I haven't spent much time on LJ or IRC, so to those who care about me and wondering if I'm in a ditch somewhere, I'm not and I apologize! In addition to my pursuit to one day be drafted into the NHL, my most recent focus has been on a new group that I formed along with Loki called Critters for a Cause. As the name implies, we are mascots who provide entertainment to charities and communities. Check out the site to read more about the group, be sure to check out the photos! Anyhow, don't be a stranger even though I might seem like I am, feel free to text/call/email/IM me anytime you'd like to chat or do a pulse-check on me. Oryx |

Job unstability...
I keep being told by my current boss and my former boss that my job is secure. Yesterday, many more people in our company were let go. Currently there are only 3 people left in the company that give a damn about compliance, privacy, and security. I'm one of them. I don't feel very secure at the moment and I'm wondering if my days are numbered. I continue to perform, but I now have no budget left for projects which means about 80% of my goals are gone for 2009. I dread having to start a job search again, I haven't had to search for a job since 2003 and right now I don't feel I'm as qualified as I once was for any job. What do I do next? I certainly can't afford my lifestyle or even my place without a job, but I keep thinking about going back to school and working on a degree. Does anyone think I could get a student loan at 28 years old? Maybe I should use this time to really consider my future and where this life of mine is, or should be going.. |

Happy * 6382354532434e+23!
I'm so ridiculously happy right now. Had a great day at work (full of win), saw an April Fools "joke" that I was sad to find out was a joke and not real, played hockey, and then found that said joke may in fact become real! I'm so happy I could cry myself to sleep! |

What happens when you don't adjust your goalie pads properly..
 A buckle on my right goalie pad was just slightly too tight and caused this massive bruise when I went into a butterfly. This is what the bruise looks like after one day, I'll take another photo tomorrow to show its progress towards turning that awesome bluey-purple! PS: YES, I know my legs are hairy.. deal with it!

Come on guys, post something!
Every day I check Live Journal hoping to fill in a large chunk of my day with useless knowledge, funny videos, and occasionally a moment of awesomeness.. But recently, LJ has been lacking. So this is my plea to you. POST SOMETHING Please? |

Spam Wisdom
Most people believe that the microscope defined by a cab driver plays pinochle with a cyprus mulch near the eggplant, but they need to remember how underhandedly the sandwich gets stinking drunk. When some flabby mortician is knowingly rude, a polar bear operates a small fruit stand with a polka-dotted customer. A class action suit starts reminiscing about lost glory, and a garbage can sweeps the floor; however, an industrial complex seldom ignores a pork chop living with a fraction. Some blood clot inside a spider accidentally takes a peek at a varigated diskette, because the photon behind a grizzly bear feverishly brainwashes a gratifying earring. A mysterious tomato ruminates, and the mean-spirited vacuum cleaner trembles; however, the makeshift asteroid ignores a food stamp over the movie theater. Current Mood: amused |

Fish hunting..
m4fox and I were out yesterday on a hunt to find some cheap fish for a cat experiment. Upon discovering that Petsmart had already closed for the day, we headed for good'ol Walmart. We went into the store and down the back wall where fish had once been sold before and found no tanks of fish. We walked up and down the back of the store wondering if perhaps they just moved the tanks, but only found an isle containing hundreds of fish products, like tanks, food, lights, and gravel. Our conversation went something like this: Oryx: WTF, how can they sell fish food and not sell fish? m4fox: They sell dog food and they don't sell any dogs. Oryx: Stop twisting my logic! |

I /tried to/ Vote!
Showed up at my election location this morning and after I found a parking spot, I walked inside. I walked the entire length of the school and never reached the end of the line, I estimate from what I could see that there were over 200 folks just waiting in the hallway that I could see. I took a peek into the gym that the voting was taking place in and counted only 6 voting machines. Maryland law allows up to two hours off of work to vote, there is no way I could have been in and out of there in two hours and make it to our 10:00 am department meeting. I'll have to try and make it over here in the early afternoon, I hope the lines aren't insane then. Good luck today! Current Music: Aphex Twin |

Spidi Oryx on Ice!
Went skating with three friends, all in motorcycle leathers for Halloween! I had a lot of fun and had a great time. Thanks to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) nitropup for taking the video of me. Although they did not have a costume contest, I did win a CD case for the red light, green light Game where you skate when they say green light and stop when they say red light. I got to the wall before anyone else, and I even fell twice while trying. It's a good thing that I was wearing my helmet! |

Fursuit Halloween Skating!
Won Best Adult Costume! Two free movie tickets, woohoo! Wish the video was better, the mode was accidentally switched on the camera. Just means I have to do it again. And yes I know, I should have had real hooves on my feet! Check out the photo photos and videos in the gallery. |
