What The Clutch?!
Hey folks!
Well I've been home for a week now since my last trip, and I ain't going anywhere til Monday.
The last driver that had the truck I'm in apparently didn't take very good care of it. We couldn't get an oil change because the bolt was broken or something, and the clutch went out on us on the last 200 miles of our 6,000 mile trip. He also destroyed the cab pretty well, missing armrests, broken mirrors, sleeper cab A\C and fan don't work. Overall a stand up guy lol.
The mechanic at the yard was supposed to have it done last week, but I guess he got swamped with all the other trucks that needed work before ours, so he wont have it done til this afternoon, which puts us driving to pick up our loads and then sitting until Monday morning to get them. Considering that's pointless, we are just going to leave early Monday morning.
So here's some pics from the last trip, since I'm not on the next trip yet:
If I have time I'll post a few pics from my last fishing trip, which was waaaay too long ago! See you next time!

Made it back!
Hey Folks!
Well I made it back from my inaugural trip as an over the road Truck Driver! Here's the breakdown:
Went I-40 East and I-10 west, making a big loop through all of the southern states (except Florida) and a little juke north into Maryland where our first destination was going.
So far the job has been stressful, but nothing I couldn't handle. I can already see that, aside from bad weather, this is something I can handle for a while til I can get something local. Should be going back out Thursday morning (June 2) for a similar run.
One thing I can say is this: Tennessee needs to burn its freeway system to the ground and start over, and give everyone in the state a 6 month class on how to drive like a human being. I swear, out of all 15 states, that had to have been the worst. Baltimore's freeway system is a construction zone, creeping through at 15 mph in one lane surrounded by chopsaws and honda civics, but I'd rather do that all day than the stretch from east of Memphis to the east end of Tennessee. Hell I'd rather run over Tehachapi back and forth for 10 hours than go through Tennessee lol.
Well, I'm home now, and its time to catch up on all the sleep and beer I've missed while I was gone. Spend time with the old lady and chitlins and relax for a few days. This blog is now turning into an "update when I'm home" format, since my phone isn't all that great for posting.
See you on the Freeway!

Keep On Trucking!!!!!
Hey folks!!
Well tomorrow starts a new day, a new job, and a new future as a full on Truck Driver! Going to be Over The Road with a buddy of mine driving reefer (refrigerated unit) hauling produce from our great state of California to God knows where! So I thought, in the spirit of new beginnings, I'd give you a little speech before my inaugural run. Here it is:
You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man convoy. But when my truck driving school brought Troy here, I knew he was one of my own. And my convoy... it grew by one. So there... there were two of us in the convoy... I was alone first in the convoy, and then Troy joined in later. And 3 days ago, when Troy introduced me to Brar Express, I thought, "Wait a second, could it be?" And now I know for sure, I just added a new employer to my convoy. Two of us truckers, running around the highways together, in the truck, looking for strippers and cocaine. So tonight, I make a toast!
Now its time to eat hotwings, drink beer, watch Sons of Anarchy (season 3), and spend time with my old lady, cause that's what I want to do on my last day home for a while. I'll keep you updated, and with internet on my phone (w00000t!) I'll be able (hopefully) to post from the road.
PEACE OUT PEDESTRIANS!

Type O Negative - Dead Again
For those of you who don't know, Peter Steele, aka Petrus T. Ratajczyk (January 4, 1962 – April 14, 2010) passed away a year ago today. I will never forget the first time I listened to his band Type O Negative.
My brother bought October Rust and listened to it from start to finish. I then took it from his room, put the album on repeat, and didn't stop listening to it. I sat in my room for hours on end that day, reading books, writing, and just zoning out, with that album playing nonstop. I don't think I can really remember another day that music meant so much to me coming out of a stereo in my room.
Since then I've followed every release, and gone back to past releases, Bloody Kisses is an album no one should miss out on, but I'm glad October Rust was my introduction, as it will forever hold a place in my heart reserved for things like love, pain, ecstasy and despair.
I was 13 then, and already had too much on my mind, but it all went away that day for those hours of peace. I miss Type O and Peter for the peace they brought to my mind whenever I listen to their music. I'm glad I have so many albums to rely on.
For those of you that know, you know. For those of you that don't yet know, it's time to find out. Seek out all the Type O Negative albums. Devour them. Experience them the way I did, in your own way, and give thanks and sit for mourning. This world has lost so many musical talents, but I think none so understated and under-appreciated as Peter Steele. May you rest in peace, thank you for your soul in my headphones.
Lay your head down for the last time.

Itsa Me, Zombie_slag!
Hey folks!
So I may be headed for my very first Epic Fail at papercraft! I've been working on a Mario automata all weekend and just can't seem to get it right. I've got tons of pics and vids but I don't want to upload them until its finished, which should be by the Wednesday post.
I don't know how its going to turn out, but I'm doing my best to salvage what seems like an impossible situation I've gotten myself into. I don't know where I went wrong, or if this model is just really that complicated (doesn't seem to be the case) but either way I'm gunna see it through to the potentially and most likely bitter end hahaha.
So stay tuned to see how it goes!

It's called feeling, play with it!!
Hey folks!
I know this is mainly a papercraft forum, but as a musician I gotta say, you need to check this dude out. I know its been a while since his last album dropped, but if you like music, ANY music, just watch the videos then go to www.ronaldjenkees.com and buy his albums. I swear if I had HALF of this dudes talent I'd be worldwide by now!!
Anyways, what brought this back to my attention is a video i ran across while watching Jenkee's material, which I've posted here. I'm no rap fan by any means, usually I'm a funk\metal classic rock dude, but when awesome beats meet flawless flow and tie together with melodies magnificent, well, that just transcends genre and becomes something I like to call the language of the soul. MUSIC.
So if you have any taste whatsoever, watch the following 2 videos, one is a the original track by Ronald Jenkees, the second is a dude rapping over one of RJ's tracks. Then go to http://www.youtube.com/user/ronaldjenkees , SUBSCRIBE and tell him http://www.youtube.com/user/Zombieslag sent you there. You won't be sorry. Oh, and listen to everything else on RJ's channel. PEACE!

BOO! Made you look!
Hey folks!
Well I got that Boo model done but it wasn't as easy as it looked! Of course Vodka and Zero Carb Rockstar may have impeded my skills. Its a 3 piece model, the body and 2 arms, all printed on one sheet of paper. I would recommend regular 20# printer paper for this one as you will be doing a lot of bending instead of folding.
I had a great time making it so here's a vid (like the vivi one) of the process. Its short of course because the model is simple. Its set to the Luigi's Mansion theme from Mario Kart DS simply because I liked the song, and its what came up when I went to upload the Luigi's Mansion GCN game theme lol.
I took a 360 view vid as well so you can see his little tail and his arms better.
If you would like to do this model, simply head over HERE and get it, its free! Make sure to pay attention to the instructions for the arms, as they aren't as simple as they look if you try to do them without the instructions.

ITS ALIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!
Hey folks!
Well the ink arrived today and my printer is once again alive! I am currently printing a 27 page automata project similar to the heart featured in the video a few posts ago. This one is a plain white cube made of gears that rotates every which way! I'm going to build it, then decorate it, most likely with watercolors.
The gearcube is going to be a long-term project, and a difficult one I think. Here's a pic of the pages, as you can see, the cut\fold lines are so light they are invisible on photo, and not much better in person. I think this model was designed this way so it would be a nice, clean model, but screw that I'm gunna paint it once its done anyways lol.
I'm on a printing spree that way I don't run out of models to build even after I run out of ink!! I am currently also out of my cardstock, but that will be getting bought soon, so for now I'm only printing models I think will work well with standard printer paper. I think the Gear Cube would be a bit too heavy and difficult to do all the precision folds if i used cardstock.
I have a Boo (from mario bro's) finished that I'll post up wednesday, so come back for that one!

New PC and ink is almost here!!
SQUEEEE! Hey folks!
As I said in my last post, I've ordered new ink for my printer, and its almost here!! Its about 165 miles away in a USPS truck right now, so I should (IhopeIhopeIhope) be receiving it on monday!! I can't wait to start all the new papercraft models I've been waiting for!
There's also something new to me, I don't remember if I've posted about it before, but its called Automata. Now, Automata is still papercraft, but infinitely more complex and, IMO, awesome in a whole new way. Automata is papercraft that MOVES!! Here's a magnificent example:
I don't know if I'll be able to make anything close to that, but I'm going to try! In addition to Automata I'll be working on several Mario pieces (as I said before) and a few random models, including one I won in a contest over at www.paperkraft.net!
Also my brother is building me a new PC out of his old parts and a case\psu I shipped to him. Thanks Erl!
In addition to all that, I told you I'd be keeping you up to date on the whole low carb thing, well, I've lost 10 lbs! I'm going strong on the "meat and cheese" plan lol. I'll post details in a future blog.
Seeya!

Hey Hey Hey! It's Fat Zombie_slag!
Hey folks!
I've been fairly busy with life lately, got my Class A CDL with all my endorsements, that means I can legally drive a rig with any trailer (or two!) behind it. So watch out, that tanker full of jet fuel next to you on the highway may very well be yours truly!
Got a lot of other stuff going on as well. For those of you who read this blog for the Papercraft side of things, well bad news, I'm waiting on my printer ink to be shipped to me. HP 56+57 ink is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too expensive! almost 60$ at wal-mart!! So I ended up paying around 20$ for it on ebay and waiting forever for it to ship. BUT! As soon as I get it I'll be working on my next model, which is a toss up between a few Super Mario Bro's characters. (I've got a feeling it will be Mario lol).
The biggest news is that I'm getting smaller! For now anyways lol. Being 5'11" and 250lbs isn't healthy. This has been brought to my attention plenty of times, but I've finally done something about it. Starting March first I went on a low carb diet and started an exercise regimen! So far I;ve lost 5 lbs (according to my messed up bathroom scale) but my goal is to get to, or under, 200lbs. At the rate I'm going I'll be a svelt 200lbs in only 60 days. I really don't see that happening but my goal is 10 lbs of weight loss each month on average.
Just to give you all a reference, here's me at about 15ish:
Here is me a few months ago after a 20 minute jog, at 27:
As you can see, its about time I drop the tireshop around teh middle. So you'll be seeing the progress here. Hopefully. I hope there's progress to post. Yeah.
See you next time!

Motorcycle Mechanic Self Training Program
Hey folks!
So I've loved motorcycles all my life, from the first time I rode a 250cc dirtbike in gradeschool to the honda 125 street my brother turned into a mountain climbing torque monster , to the cruisers and Harleys my buddies ride.
Problem is, I could never afford my own, be it street or dirt. Well I decided instead of buying a bike, I'd build my own. I went about cruising the back country roads looking for frames, forks, wheels, anything in a junk heap I could get for cheap. I found a few deals, but I wanted to go REALLY cheap, none of this 200 to 400$ I was being asked for rusted out heaps that didn't run. Luck be a lady I ran across this on my way home one day:
Now rolling up on ramshackle properties in the middle of the country isn't advisable, it can get you in trouble sometimes, as I've found out in my youth. This time it paid off though, as I picked this bike up for $50! Not very much rust, the frame is in perfect condition, tank is dented but doesn't leak, has all the lights and electrical is mostly functional (starter, taillights, left turn so far.) I'm calling this one a deal!
Now I'm no mechanic, but I know there are a few things I have to do to get this bad boy running again. First off, gotta get the repair manual, which I just got in the mail today! Usually I go with Chilton or Haynes manuals for any vehicle I have, but this time the only one I could find was the Clymer manual, which is apparently the source for all your ATV and motorcycle manuals.
Being the impatient sort that I am I decided that I would do what I could while I waited for my manual. Got a a used battery for just over 16$ (I'm going as cheap as possible for this bike) and brought it home. It wouldn't fit in the battery box, so I did a little "custom" work and smacked the hell out of the box with a hammer, bent it with pliers, and now the battery fits.
Once I had the battery hooked up I could test the electrical, what I found was that it was in decent condition, especially the ignition, which is the only part I care about until I get the bike running. One thing that I was wondering though, where do I put the key? I found out while stripping the bike:
So that made me laugh. Anyways, I decided to strip some gear off to make the block more accessible so here's my "after" pics:
So that's my project bike, hopefully soon to be my main form of transportation, So I'll be keeping you up to date on that as progress......progresses!

Hey Folks!
I'm back from the little holiday break and ready to go! I've been busy this past month, with the holidays, my band playing shows (got another one in 3 days!), getting my Class A license (Truck Driver license), tracking down motorcycles, fixing computers, etc lol.
So I finished Half-Life 2 and I'm looking forward to hl2 episodes 1 and 2. What I'm wondering is why are the fps that are being released lately not on par with what valve put out 3 years ago? Single player campaigns seem to have fallen by the wayside, which is fine for the MAG players (love MAG!) but there needs to be an epic standalone game for those who don't multiplay. Anyways, I think I'll turn the rest of that rant into a post over at theoryofgame.
As far as what to expect in the new year from me here, well, the description didn't change, so Whatever the hell I want to talk about! lol. Got the ViVi timelapse (start to finish) in the works, so anyone following that should be happy, gunna be working on a pretty slick Mario model next.
Did some fishing the other day, did fairly well too!
Glad to see the Packers win, lets hope my 49'ers get in there next season!
So Happy New Year everyone, and I'm excited to get started up again!
I'm back from the little holiday break and ready to go! I've been busy this past month, with the holidays, my band playing shows (got another one in 3 days!), getting my Class A license (Truck Driver license), tracking down motorcycles, fixing computers, etc lol.
