The Flood / Deadmau5 orders a P1
« on: October 07, 2014, 07:55:02 AM »
http://blog.dupontregistry.com/the-lifestyle/people/celebrity-cars/deadmau5-orders-blue-mclaren-p1/

Deadmau5, popular DJ, orders a custom blue P1. Why you may ask? Well.

He owns a Mclaren 650S (Meowclaren) and a Ferrari 458 (Purrari). Ferrari, after seeing what he did to his 458, sent him a cease and desist. So what does he do? He turns down buying a La Ferrari and goes to buy a P1 just to say a nice frack you. Classy.

It was pretty sweet to meet him at the beginning of the last Gumball 3000 rally, as well as Tory Belacci from Mythbusters haha. Happy to see him buy an amazing car and add to his collection.

Gaming / What's your PC Gaming build made of?
« on: October 06, 2014, 05:52:43 PM »
I recently gave away my old PC (well, I kept a few things.) to my friend because he wanted to start gaming on the PC. And because I'm moving, I decided to order new parts for my new super build for my new abode. Now, I didn't expect to blow the amount I did, but the deals I got were so incredible I had to pull the trigger. Overall I saved over $2.5k. Yes, that much. It's nearly 50% off.

My old PC was a 4770k with 780 Ti SLI, and basically murdered everything I threw at it. It was overkill.

This time around I decided to overkill overkill. For the sake of longevity, and because the deals were that good. I kept a lot of stuff such as the case, PSU, and custom loop so I had a more then solid foundation.

It's not well known that I'm a PC nerd, and trust me I know ALOT about parts and what and what not to buy. So if any of you have any questions about upgrades or building in general, feel free to ask.

The Flood / What is something that interests you greatly?
« on: October 06, 2014, 04:39:23 PM »
We all have our interests.

Personally, as you all know cars is a huge interest of mine, but what is less commonly known is my love of understanding the human Brain and human behavior.

How about you guys?

Also why are you interested in it/them?

The Flood / Anyone going to Miami Ultra Music Festival?
« on: October 06, 2014, 03:56:00 PM »
Just bought my 3-day pass, was wondering if any of you will be attending it?

For those of you don't look up, Ultra is the premier electronic music festival. The festival was actually almost removed from Miami due to an incident last year, but they kept it with the rule you must be 18 or older to attend. It's commonly compared to Tommorowland/Tommorow World, and has been on the decline lately. But it's still an amazing experience. This will be my 3rd ultra in a row, and hopefully they do better then last year. I missed out on UMF 2012 which had a great line up, but nothing  compared to the 2 weekend madness that was 2013. It was awesome to have that as my first, but it spoiled me.

So, who's coming? Perhaps we can meet up

546
Mainly curiosity. I think just about everyone I know and like is on here now, but I feel like there are a few stragglers.

What about you guys? And what's your general opinion on the quality of members here?

547
Honest question. I like this website, and it's member base is actually very likable. But do you think we will ever hit that sweet spot?

The Flood / So I am no longer allowed to drive to school
« on: October 02, 2014, 09:45:06 AM »
Why you ask? Well. I'm in the middle of class and I get called down to the office. From there I am shifted of the deans office and sat down. I am told that starting Monday I am no longer allowed to park my car in the school parking lot, or school grounds. Reason being is. Recently a kid got his car stolen, and yes it was retrieved. But the school had to pay a price as a result of allowing it to happen (I don't know all the details but this is what I'm told.) There are probably 100 cameras in the parking lot alone, yet now they feel unsafe. To the school, my car is a major liability. Meaning they don't want to have that liability on hand if someone decides to steal it. They also told another kid the same thing.

Isn't this a little bullshit? Like instead of telling me I can't park in my spot (which I paid for, but they are saying I will be refunded, so there's that.) they should increase the security or something. The parking lot isn't that big. And I go to a private school so they can do whatever they want, in terms of these things. I don't think I can necessarily fight it, but obviously I'm going to try and argue later today. It's so strange though.

Anyway, no point in driving to school if I can't park there. And like hell if I'm going to park in the shopping centre across.

The Flood / The Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4
« on: October 01, 2014, 02:06:59 PM »
Although this is infact a leak ahead of the Paris Motor Show, this is exciting news nonetheless. And for those of who you laugh at Lamborghini for being ridiculous. Take a gander, you may be impressed with what you see.

Specs are not official, obviously, but it's a hybrid. Sporting 900 to 910 horsepower (300 of which being electrical). 200+ MPG with the electric motor, much like all of the other larger manufacturer renditions of hybrid-hyper cars. P1, 918, La Ferrari. As Lamborghini kinda skipped on the whole hybrid thing by releasing the Veneno, which sold for a whopping $4.8M, each (3 original). This is good news, and I'm not sure what to expect in terms of surprises. But Lamborghini has been on a roll.

As you can see in the pictures (both renders and leaked magazine photos.) it's no where near as aggressive of styling as Lamborghini usually goes for, even interior wise. And I can see it being a car to appeal to more of the Ferrari types. It will be surprising whether or not it will be Front/Mid/Rear engine, and also if it is truly in fact AWD, even though all Lamborghini Models since the Murcilargo have been AWD.

Let's see what the tag is, but, I'm expecting a hefty one. Not sure if this will be their new flagship. But they are saying its Lamborghini's future

Serious / Somehow I am still unhappy
« on: October 01, 2014, 12:33:05 PM »
Am I depressed? Probably not. I know how that feels,but I don't feel as if I'm there. But I feel a bit...lost? I'm in a strange place.

I do a lot for people because I feel I owe the world. I have a genuine belief that I am living on borrowed time. It's my own idea. And I do all these ridiculous things for all these different people, and yet, I feel lost, empty. It's actually strange, and interesting.

It's not a mater of family issues, or health issues (for the most part.) it's just a lack of self motive. And I feel like I've hit that metaphorical wall.

But I understand how much I have going my way. But there are those things i just can't seem to get over.

For example, and some of you may have seen this person before in a couple pictures I have posted. There is a girl I think is absolutely perfect in every aspect. Damn beautiful, damn perfect personality. And we had a whole FWB for about 4 months. And we were both pretty damn happy and life was perfect. Life was actually perfect. I have 0 complaints. But when it ended, it kinda sucked. And I had liked her prior and it sucked seeing her like date other dudes and all that, and now she's like interested in another guy. And in my head I'm like, shit I really don't want to have to go through this again but why do I care? So it's a whole thing. And we still hook up to this day. But she won't date me cause I'm younger, yet she says I'm the greatest person she has ever met, and feels I am too good for her (load of bs mind you.)

But there are other things. I have always been someone who for some reason was always held in high regards. Even if I just meet people, they think highly of me. Maybe it's my demeanor or the way I act, but I have no idea. And yes, I have met a lot of those expectations, and completely blown away the world, especially by 17. But I still feel unaccomplished. I still wish to attend college and pursue something I genuinely enjoy. But I don't know if that is sufficient to fill that void. It's not like I have limitless ambition, but I don't know what it is.

There are many things I wish to do with my life that I actually can do, but I don't have the time to do so. And my parents aren't open to a gap year, and summer break isn't long enough for my adventures. Perhaps I have to wait till I'm done with college and can sit down and enjoy the world and tackle it head on. But that's 4 and a half years away. And I'm not about to sacrifice my education for my yearning to experience the world.

I don't wish to sound like I feel like I'm above it all, because frankly I feel like i don't deserve any of this. And that's complete honesty.

Usually, people around my age feel this way for family reasons, or lack of a social/romantic life. My family is actually pretty great, we have a pretty solid foundation so I cannot complain and am blessed to have them. I'm terms of social, I have plenty of friends, and I never feel as if I don't have someone to talk to. More times I feel like I need alone time because of the rapid speed of everything. And my romantic life. Well, it's been pretty great. Granted I am not the 10/10 super hot bae every girl wants, I'm alright. But I have a high reputation of both satisfaction and respect. So things just kind of come my way. And I can't complain about that. In fact the things I just said are the things that are perfect. But it's to prove a point.

It's a slap to the face to have so much going for me and look back and fully understand that, and yet feel lost and empty. It's boggles my mind and it's beyond my comprehension. I'm not insane, nor do I have any mental issues. I like to think I'm pretty relaxed and down to earth. So I don't necessarily know what is wrong with me.

Maybe I'm just a stereotypical teenager going through that stage, or maybe I'm just a moron who needs a rude awakening. Who knows.

If you guys have anything to say to maybe shed some light on this, I'd appreciate it, I know it's a lot to read. Sorry.


I simply do not understand some of you guys, I don't get it. You guys jump to conclusions immediately like I'm so fake ass hole, like what have I even done to you lol. I've acted the same way since I've been at b.net and here, that's 5 years. And somehow I'm fake? I act the same way everywhere, everyone is under the false impression that because I have money I should be happy and I can't say I'm not? How is that even fair. And I'm sure none of you see anything wrong with what your saying because in your mind it's justified, yet all you do is jump to conclusions based on previous opinions of me. I get a lot of you already don't like me for a long list of reasons but come on now


EDIT:

Because a lot of people seem to believe I don't actually help people, I mind as well explain what I do with my free time, and you can dig through many of my posts on b.net for a plethora of proof of all of this. I genuinely enjoy helping people with their problems, and someone's happiness is something that I genuinely care about. For example. The aforementioned girl has been my best friend for 2 years, actually, I have been her best friend for 2 years. She hasn't necessarily returned the favor, nor do I care if she does. I helped her, completely out of the blue, because she was depressed. For two years I sacrifice non stop for her to be happy. I never asked for anything in return, just for her to be happy. That is a fact and I can literally take pictures of texts and all lol. I also am a leader in a club at my school which is centered around helping students with their issues. Regardless of what they are. We also organize retreats to help alleviate stress and help kids open up and come to terms with them. I've been doing that for years too. The only reason I am even alive is because I wanted to prevent people from falling into the same hole I fell into 4 years ago. That was the ultimatum I gave myself a few seconds before I committed suicide to give myself a reason to live, and I have outlived it to the best I could. So please. Don't accuse me of being a bullshit altruist. I never even said I was. True altruism is impossible, because at some point, you will desire something in return for your sacrifice, and no one is ever entirely selfless. And that's not an ignorant thing to say, nor is it a bad thing. But I care about everyone. I really do.

The Flood / How's everyone been holding up?
« on: September 30, 2014, 06:11:16 PM »
I actually haven't been on here in quite a while, felt I wasn't necessarily liked in truth, but I got over it. I also game back mainly for Sandtrap. Really like the lad and hope to support and be here for him.

I wonder how you guys have been doing, knowing there's a lot of members on here that I actually like id like to know if you guys are doing well or not.

Personally, I've had to undergo a lot of tests after being suspected of having brain cancer after finding an anomaly in an MRI, and an error with an EEG. So, I hope all I good, as I have to undergo a few more tests in the next weeks. I got my mom a new car so I boosted morale around here for a bit, kept the positivity flowing. And I've been sick for about two weeks haha. So I guess life is good, but eh.

I really hope you guys are doing great, I really wish nothing more then that for all of you.

The Flood / So what is up with Verbatim?
« on: August 18, 2014, 02:52:22 PM »
Does anyone know why he's just...how he is all the time? Like is it one big ploy or is he really like that?

The Flood / Ok, let's have an intervention about myself haha
« on: August 03, 2014, 07:06:25 PM »
I see I piss a lot of you off with how I post, or I come across in the opposite way I mean to. So how do I fix that. I don't see what I'm doing wrong, but obviously something frustrates you guys.

So how do I talk about my stuff, without coming across as "bragging". Cause there is another thing I was going to share with you guys but it may be taken a hell of a lot worse then my car was.

So how would I go about sharing it, or should I share it at all? Vague so I don't come across bad

555

The Flood / Flood party chat convo
« on: July 31, 2014, 06:29:51 PM »
Anyone wanna chat and maybe play some Halo 3 or some GTAV Online. 360 obviously

558
If your in the friends list you already know, but I don't give a shit, I got my car. That isn't the point.

People got mad at me calling me a liar and saying I need to show proof. Once I get the damn car and show that, people say I'm being an asshole for sharing it. Like what? What is that lmfao. Obviously I'm done talking about it. Aside from this. And the people I like and trust, such as Porsche, are going to enjoy it a lot more then you guys.

Why does that happen. And I've seen it for other people, not just me. You say your doing something, people don't buy it, you do it, people get mad. Internet logic
