Who's ready for Hurricane Irene? - Off-topic

Hey! I live in Franklin Park, New Jersey... And my area is gonna be having Hurricane force winds, and possibly extreme flooding.
I want to see if there are other people on this forum who are prepared for Hurricane Irene.
I haven't seen other threads like this one, so I figured I'd make it.
Best of luck to everybody else on the East Coast, and stay safe!

My house is creaking.
Please lengthen your message to at least 10 charters

My power has gone out twice so far... Still have Internet, TV, and Phone... T-Mobile is still up for me. It's raining pretty hard, and winds are at around 30mph for me. It hasn't even started yet. D;

Okay. 3 tornado warnings, 1 touched down 10-15 miles north of me, and this hurricane is still coming. Let's go, on the top floor of my house.
Please lengthen your message to at least 10 charters

Some nasty rain bands in CT along with lightning. We still have power for now but I do not expect it to last once the wind kicks in.
They expect the wind to start in 2-3 hours.

I'm kinda scared :/

Moment of Silence.

Let's all have a moment of silence for my teammate and close friend who was recently injured at practice today.
We were doing some Oklahoma's and he traded places with me in line, went up agains some kid, and landed on the ground with his leg sticking up in an uncorrect angle. Had to call the ambulance and everything.
I didn't like this kid at first, but lately, he's been really cool and we got pretty close, and I will miss him for the rest of the season.
That sucks. And I bet it hurts.
You've left us in the dark on how the team is doing?
good day.

I bet you it did.
B-Team is like, 1-3? And A-Team is like 0-4.
Sorry to hear that, ive broken my thumb once from football but thats nothing compared to that kid. on another note...
My highschool is best in the State (Washington) for football, state champions 3 years in a row, 4 Peat coming up
Thank God he's alright. It looked so bad but he only broke three bones. Well, maybe I should take out the only, but I'm just glad he'll be okay.
Do you realize you were supposed to be there? lol
Also pics pl0x
that does suck. Broke a kid's leg once in middle school football. I hit him low from one side, while another defender hit him high from the other. Tib/fib fracture. Only time I felt bad for hitting someone...
Yeah I know it was supposed to be me lol.
No. Some kid took pictures and sent them to some people, it's DISGUSTING! Who'd do that to a teammate?!
And yeah. He got tackled and his foot got stuck on the ground and his body turned.

Anyone live or been to NY?

Im taking a trip to new York for a few days in february. Anyone have any suggestions of stuff to do? The day I get there ima see the knicks play at msg.. also on my list is flight club and nike town.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I live in NYC. I've been to a knicks game last week on monday. Sitting on the court. Photo creds rule
As for the city.
Typical tourist spots that I hate: Times Square, Ground Zero, Rockefeller center.
If you decide to go to one of the top buildings I suggest Top of the Rock. Much nicer view and you get an awesome view on the Empire State Building and Central Park. From the ESB you dont really see Central Park. I'm thinking what else is cool around the city.
YOu can visit "the hood" for an adrenaline rush when you gear gun shots.
Crap, I just realized I don't like NYC, and have no idea what legal stuff it has too offer.
YOu can take a walk through Central Park too.
I travel to NY almost all January´s and if it´s your first time I can recommend:
-Guggenheim Museum
- MOMA
- Battery Park
- See some plays @ Broadway
- Liberty Statue
- Bars at Soho and Greenwich Village
-Art & design galleries at Soho and Greenwich Village
- Walk on Central Park
- Skate in Rockefeller center
Just a few ones came up to my mind, it´s a great city and you´ll never get bored
All will depend on your personal preferences...
Also, if instead of the Knicks, you went to see the Rangers, there would be a high possibility you would meet me. lol
Also if you like restaurants, bars, pubs, taverns (yes, yes i know all the same thing ) ect...Come to Hoboken NJ TONS of places!!

I think him saying he's going to MSG to see the Kicks kind of gives it away that he'll be in the city.
If you want bars, walk down second Ave between Houston and 15th street. You'll find hundreds.
McSorleys on 7th street between 2nd and 3rd for $2 beers (They come in "Dark" and "Light" only) and The Continental on 3rd Ave and 8th street for "$10 for 5 shots of anything."

Am I crazy for taking a train ride from D.C to Sacramento ?

So I have never been on a train, but I like scenery and all. Am I crazy to ride Amtrak from Washington D.C. to Sacramento. It will take me a lot longer than air ride, but is train travel worth it ?
That's y we have YouTube now watch it while u are flying and image yourself their

I do like the look of the Jericho
Also like the Beretta 92
Never been keen on glocks or sigs, and only certain 1911s.
A guy I know nearly killed his ex wife with his 92 at a firing range in Israel.
I've only ever been to military ranges (you have to be well spaced from the guy shooting to your left if there is no barrier) and always presumed most civilian ranges would be like you see in the movies (ie booths) but their range just had a long table.
She was shooting a little revolver to is right when an empty case ejected from his gun and went down the back of her neck. As she jumped from the burning metal she squeezed her trigger and sent a bullet skimming across her hair line!
The police did investigate to see if it was some elaborate plan to get rid of her - how much of a genius would you have to be to pull that one off?
When they got divorced, she got the Beretta

Crazy thing is when I turned 9 my step dad tried teaching me gun safety with a pellet rifle. I remember thinking not to tell him and let him be the dad he wants to be. I'd gone deer hunting and shot lots of animals before that. Squirrel, raccoon, fox, you know all the varmit animals and deer. He tried showing me how powerful the air pellet gun was by shooting a news paper. I'd shot countless animals before at point blank to put em down fully. I KNEW what real guns did. But he had a fun time that day being a dad and I'm glad for it.
