Dear World,
Here we are, going to aboard a plane on Oceanic Flight 815 from Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles, California. The interesting part of this whole experience is how everybody aboard this plane had a certain connection with one another before the tragedy occurred as we crash landed onto an island. We were regular people just living our lives, surviving on a daily basis for other peoples’ benefits.
And so we were stuck for over 80 days on an island uncharted to the world. The island looks ordinary, but there are far too many unknown events occurring on the island since day 1. We crash landed, around 40 survivors on one side of the island, a few more on the other side. We were in shock, trembling to even feel if this was real, even the feeling of being alive after a plane crash.
We did what we had to do to survive, organize and adjust to our new environment until rescue arrives. Day by day, we developed the ability to survive, find fresh water, and even kill boars for solid food. Not much to say really, it’s just like any other camp out movie. We find anything possible in order to make a living toward the next day.
Jack Shephard, a spinal surgeon, led everybody to work together and try to make the most of it. He is our leader on the island, whether he thought differently or not, he knew he was the heart of everybody. Constantly taking care of everybody as well as giving fairness within the surviving community. I didn’t know him very well or got to talk to him much, but when I did I told him I was thankful for him to be here to keep things from getting out of hand. He smiled and gave me a tap on the shoulder and walked off to his next task. He was constantly moving, I think he got close with Kate, the criminal who was going back to the USA to face imprisonment for killing her father. At first it kind of scared me to think she was a criminal, but she was very nice. Let’s not forget very pretty, she was quite the attractive one.
Sawyer, a con artist, was pretty much the lone wolf in this whole island. He usually looted most of the stuff from the wreckage from the plane and was very anal about “his” stuff. Anytime we were missing something, we would always go to him for the item and wanted to make deals in order to get them. The asshole, the douche bag, and the incredibly handsome Sawyer, real name started with a J I think. I usually asked him if I can look at an adult magazine and he would make me go out to get his food. It was pretty worth it.
There was a rumor that the island had native people on it, we called them the “others”. I really didn’t understand what they wanted, I thought so there are native people on this island; let’s ask them for help to get off. They had no intentions to let us off the island, in fact it’s still confusing to know who these strange people are. Out of nowhere, they would kill some of us, or kidnap us, I was really scared. Hurley, who is surprisingly a millionaire back home, thought to ask everybody who they were. I told him my name and everything, but then he announced that one of us among us isn’t on the flight manifest, the document that lists all the passengers on the plane. Ethan, a doctor for the “others” was spying on all of us. Not sure what happened there, I was too busy helping out on other things.
There is a lot I don’t know about, but what really got me spooked was John Locke. He was supposedly the second leader in this whole thing. He was looking at the sunset as I went to sit by him with a coconut drink. I asked him when he thinks the rescue boat will arrive. He said he doesn’t car anymore and that this island is the place he has been searching for. I asked him what he meant. He simply smiled and told me about his life was back in the real world. How he was told he had a father and how he planned and succeeded in stole his kidney and ruined his life. I felt bad. He then went on about how he was wheelchair bound after his father threw him off god knows how many floors of a large building and somehow survived. When he came to this island, he survived the plane crash and his legs started to move again. It was a total shock to me, a guy so popular among us, is actually a ruined wheelchair bound old guy who works at a Box Company. Here on this island, he is John Locke, second leader of the surviving tribe.
John Locke made me think my own existence. “Is it better to be LOST in society, or LOST in the world on this island?” Is my life really worth it here or in my dull existence in the USA? I developed so much on this island, skills, creativity, hunting, farming, and communication skills. Is the island my solution to all my life problems? Did the island rescue me from committing suicide? Is it telling me to live? I noticed that my health has gotten better here than where I lived. The final thing to think about is…do I really want to be rescued, when its already happened? Should I go back to my dull life of a job, school, and money, or live free on an island where I am actually useful?
From,

Survivor of Oceanic Flight 815
P.S. Awaiting Season 5 of LOST! XD

The Day We All Worked To Hang Out
So, it was the middle of June or July, who the hell cares, it was in the summer. Me (Sidd) and Sanjay went to Middlesex County College and had did god knows what the hell, but as we were walking by, a very handsome young fellow with a sweet torso comes out of nowhere and asks us to help him in some campaign thing. Obviously I was going to ignore his ass, but then he said something about money and I payed attention. (Yes I know, I'm a two-bit two cent whore. keke! ^^)
So, the guy with the hot torso with blonde her was like, we need people to help put up door signs for this political campaign. I really don't know who the hell this politician was, I just wanted the money. Do this job and you get 75 bucks at the end of the day. So me and Sanjay were like, "Yea sure no prob."
So about a week or two pass and it was the day to work. We told Jeff like literally the day before about this whole "be a bitch and get 75 dollars at the end" thing. Then Jazz called like an hour before we went and was like "Yo bitches wtf you ppl doing today I'm off work." He called SJ and he told him about the whole thing and so Jazz tagged along.
And so, we went to the place where they told us to meet up, which was like near some train stop. The one near Berkley College, some white building. We were looking for parking and finally spotted one, but we saw a really confusing sign about the parking. No joke, it literally sounded like B.R. to me at the end. So we parked anyway to soon to learn we can't park there so Jazz went and parked on the other side of the world just so it was safe.
We were all lined up at the building, we were all dressed nice, but it was hot as balls. The line finally moved and we finally got a name of the polition we are working for, I think it was Lautenburg, but everybody said lumberg. Then we constantly made jokes and reference to Office Space. "Fukn Lumberg" "Who we working for again, luaten lumberg? lumberg right." "Lumberg SUX!!!" (seriously I heard that in the line.)
So we finally got into the damn building and made us sign stuff, and gave us lunch. People didn't really eat there meals, but I was chowing down and shit. Hell I took another person's lunch and ate that too.
So finally we got this random briefing on what the hell we are suppose to do. We were to go to specific houses, ring the door bell, and basically tell them something about Bush sux and vote for lumberg, and I was like, thats a little too extreme so I changed my lines. Also, we had to give this door handle ad thing with lumberg's name on it to vote.
So me and Jeff paired up, and SJ and Jazz paired up. We were bus number 3 I think, but not sure. We got on the bus and it was alright, we were being dropped off at our destination. The first stop came and two hot ass jail baits had to get out, as they were getting out, Jazz like yelled very fast "GET THE FUCK OUT!" As then we see people are like "huh, how rude" while me, SJ, and Jeff were literally holding our mouths with both hands laughing our asses off. Then eventually we all got dropped off.
Me and Jeff went about our routes and to give these random shyt out. So the first house we went to, I knocked on the door and said my line instead of the weird line that dork with glasses said to say. "Hi, we are with the lumberg campaign reminding you to vote." Not so bad, but then I got lazy and my line drifted from polite to "Hey this is a daily reminder to vote, pz." Then Jeff complained I was doing my crappy job wrong and it wasn't a daily reminder, I'm like, LOL WUT!?!?
Then this old guy kept us for fucking 10 minutes, I'm like bro, I ain't lumberg! And he shut the door. Then we had to go to houses with grumpy old ppl who were like "I don't give a fuck, get the fuck off my property you sick fucking liberal." Of course Jeff was on the other side and I was too tired about what just happened. Then there were signs. No something (meaning ppl that knock on doors and ask stuff). We did anyway for the hell of it, well I did, lol. Then we had to find houses that were non-existent >_>.
Was a pretty fun day, then the dude in the van came and was like yo, fuk the work, get in my van and lets chyll. So we did, and we picked up everybody else about one hour later. We were all in the back, me, Jazz, SJ, and Jeff. We were just bullshitting to pass time and eventually it was time to go home.
The Highlight of the Night Supposedly:
I was staring outside and I saw a house, and there were many freaking people there, I mean it was fucking packed. So, as I saw that, I shouted "Hey everybody look, a house party!"
SJ or Jazz was right behind me and quickly responded, "Sidd thats a funeral."
Everybody, including the driver laughed there asses off.
That day will always be remembered as the greatest day we worked and hanged out
to have loads of freaking fun.
And the question still remains, we still don't know who lumberg is :O

Suicidal Heroes - Sidd's First - Halo Machinima
Its been so many years that I had played Halo. I first started to play halo during my time in the 8th grade of middle school. I used to chill with a group of friends that I had back in kindergarton and stuff, I still try as much as possible to contact these people, but really can't find the time. Anyway, the person in this group who introduced me to Halo and the new generation of video games (xbox1) is Krishan. So, from then on, I was a Halo fanatic.
Because of Halo, I was able to have a hobbie to relate to at school with other students. I was able to socialize and talk about owning everybody was my goal. So I was invited to lan parties and it was all cool, but I noticed that I became an asshole, I would take this game so seriously. Then I noticed that I wasn't getting
invited to these Lan parties anymore. They said I kept winning, and people didn't like the asshole winning and talking smack because it made them feel like quitting. They then went on about how Halo is meant to be played. So these bunch of noobs told me that its all about having fun...together. And they walked off on me.
They were right, games are suppose to be for fun, so I played and tried to never go at it with my full potential, try to be beaten, or play for fun. It was more enjoyable that way and relaxing to lose. I quit Halo 1 afterwards and dwelled into
the realm of PT, but I played halo here and there.
I met Jeff through Halo, and thats what started that friendship. Bungie created a game not only to give us a great time, but to bond friendships that never would have even been possible. And so since we had common interest in video games, communication between us developed and here we are today, best friends.
(Same goes for everybody else, videogames is what started it all. Its the universal
hobbie we can all relate to.)
So, enough with the past, here we are in the present, Halo is still a part of my life and I can never forget what miracles its done for my social life. And so I take the very next step and to create a Halo Machinima. (Machinima is in-game based films, with actual story and dialogue, basically a movie but in game style format.)
Its short, but people are liking what I created. Hopefully there will be a another one soon that will "rox your sox off"! Its been entered into WeGame.com's August
Machinima Contest.
This is my first Halo Machinima. ^^
Thank you for watching! :D

Pride Performance Shop
Hey, Sanjay here, and just showing off a fairly new shop I came to visit today. The place is called "Pride Performance" and is run by one of my good friend's brother. I was excited to check it out, I knew one day, I'd have to find a shop to start my work, and I honestly believe this is it. The shop has a lot of potential, along with it's workers. I met up with the shop's general manager, Giovanni Rivera, and let me say.. from a lot of people who I've met/known, this man is purely dedicated to his work. There are problems and some struggles they must go through, but I have never met someone so into what they do, he is definitely going places with his crew. Working on several cars, their days seem endless, but atleast along the way, he can enjoy something he does very well. Well, onto some pics that our good friend, Ivy, took:
Here's a R32, from what I been told, it is going to be for SALE!
Here's the 240 Drift Car.. and it looks amazing with its vinyls:
Here is a modified Yaris and I must say.. I'm not a fan of Yaris's but this one takes the win:
I have other scattered pics that just have been taken, enjoy:
This place is going to be big, I can feel it, and I hope soon I can become part of it. One of these days, I want to check out their drift team, which is going to be something I want to do. My plan, for the near future, is start working a bit more on my car and attending some RallyX's and AutoX's and make a name for myself and bring up this shop for their support and my support for them. More to come soon...

Pine Barren Campout Meet
Well, Us members from DirtyImpreza.com thought we should have yet another meet down there... and this one should be a camp out. Prior to this meet, things seemed to have been planned well, but when it came to the days of the meet, boy did it get hectic. It went from being a two day event to a three day(though it still ended up being two... I'll explain soon). So me and a couple friends left on Friday afternoon, we got there and we had some fun. I was in my car, which is a Aspen white 2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS, my friend Andrew with his GF came in her car, which was also 2000 Subaru Impreza in blue, and our friend Jack came down in his 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. Jb took some pics and they came out good, though I become a blur because of my acceleration ^-^. Here is a link to the pics of me:
http://s87.photobucket.com/albums/k147/Spatizzle/
Now when we had gotten there, it was turning dark so we figured after a few runs, we'll set up "camp." My friend Andrew had a tent, but had forgotten something with it so they couldn't use it (Lucky for him, Dimitri lent them his tent and he shared the a tent with his friend). Jack and Jb had left early because they couldn't stay, and I decided I was going to sleep in my car. We did have another member show up in the late night with an 05 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS, who did a couple runs before they hit the sack. Also, another member(Dimitri) made it with their friends who tagged along(Sorry, don't remember names heh :[ ). Dimitri had come in his Subaru Forester since his car(Suzuki Aerio) was getting work done to it, and his friend had come in his Acura RSX. That night, we made burgers and hot dogs and just talked with occasional night runs. The following morning it rained, so we had a nice slippery track for a couple hours before it got so humid.. it ended being how it was the day before. After a couple more runs and an actual course setup, more members had shown up... now, I'm not sure names here either, but I do recall some cars being a Subaru Impreza WRX/STI/RSTI/RSs. Here are some pics by some DI members:

http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd218/MConte05/Pine%20Barrens/
Before I left, Dimitri, his friend, and I went on some path driving and boy was it fun. Driving down these paths helped me understand my car handling more and the true power of AWD, valuable lessons I learned at yet the END of my meet, haha (First one was... avoid glass in the field :| ).
When I had gotten home that day, I went to check the DI forum and found out that police had arrived at the scene and ruined the camp out, one of us getting a ticket while others were questioned. We plan to help our fellow DI member out for this and the cop did say "there are other places in the park to do this kind of stuff." So I plan on going down sometime and finding this place... because if I don't, I'd have to consider going to another state to RallyX. Well That's enough for this meet, I shall keep you updated for more (and I will talk about more cars in general).
