Iron Man 2, Longboard, Band, Mother's Day!

0 comments Posted by Bijan Turkcan at 7:25 AM

So last night I saw Iron Man 2, and it was pretty good. The effects were pretty good, and the story was pretty good too, and after the end of the movie, if you stay, there's a little preview of something that'll make you really excited if you're a comic book nerd like me. I don't really want to get much into it, but it's great, and I think you should go see Iron Man 2, if you saw the first one and liked it. It wasn't as good as the first one, but then again how many sequels are as good as the original?


I also would like to work on my longboard today if I get the chance. I can't really do it, because my dad wants to do it with me, but we never get the chance to. I have the wood glued a lot better this time, so hopefully we can cut it down, put the resin on it, and install the wheels and that'll be it. I really want this project to be done.

I haven't been to band practice in a bit, last time I didn't go, was because Mike was busy studying, which makes sense since it's coming to the last weeks of school. They are going to have band practice today at around 11, but I'd rather work on the longboard, because I have to go to my mom's because of Mother's Day. It is the right thing to do.

Oh yeah, and if anyone knows anything about trucks and wheels for skateboards or longboards, contact me, because for some reason I don't think they turn, or at least right, I don't know.

It's been a while again. I don't know what's putting me off from making videos anymore, but there's only really one person who cares about it that much I think, and I saw him yesterday. Some people are already back from college, and I still have a month to go. It's pretty crazy. A couple of my friends are coming back in a week or two, but at least I'm still around so I can see them anyway.


I wonder why they don't just sync up all of the schools into one calendar, it would be so much easier. All of the breaks differ from each other, and so do the test dates and everything, oh well.

Not much else has been going on except for this one big project I've been working on. I've been wanting a longboard really badly within the past month, and they're really expensive, so I can't really get one, so I've opted to do the next best thing, make one.

Yeah, I'm going to end up making one, and it's going to be hard, but I want it that bad. I already made one, but it didn't turn out good, because it was my first time, and a lot of things went wrong. I rode it around, but it wouldn't turn, and the wood got all damaged because it was flexing too much, and it just didn't work out.

Maybe I'll end up working on it today, that would be awesome. I have all of the other parts and stuff, and I love the wheels I got, they just won't stop spinning when you push them, it's amazing how far technology has come. Anyway, that's really it for now.

Band!

0 comments Posted by Bijan Turkcan at 9:02 AM

So I started a band, if you can call it that, with 2 other people, Ronnie and Mike. I'm the guitarist and singer, while Mike is the bassist, and Ronnie is the keyboardist. That's all we have for right now, and I don't think we need much else except for a drummer.


We attempted to have band practice with a couple of other people, but they didn't like that genre of music, so they just left immediately before we even did anything as a band. One of them thought it was going to be a screamo death metal band, which it isn't, and the other wanted it to be an alternative emo band, and I don't like either of those types of music.

Anyway, so we're still at 3 musicians. If you think you can drum, you should comment or send me a message or something. I'm going for the indie sound, and hopefully I'll have luck. I have all of this music in my head that I have to write down or something.

Not much else is really happening, I'm going to my mothers in a couple hours because she wants me. Today was going to be one of my friends birthdays and I wanted to go, but I guess I can't. It seems that every time my mother wants me, something always happens here on the island, but oh well.

Anyway, that's it for now.

Been A While.

It's been exactly a week since I've done my last blog, and I'm sorry for those who wait in anticipation for any news from me, even though I doubt you people exist. Anyway, I'm back, and the reason I didn't do any blogs was sort of because I was busy almost all the time.


I do have some things to talk about though, not important but that's what this blog is for!

I met this guy Alex, who owns a store called KMI, in West Hempstead, and he's a really cool and awesome guy. His philosophies in life, are the exact same as mine, and I'm sure we'll become good friends. Hopefully I can get a job working there, and have fun at the same time. It's a comic book, card store, action figure, statue, nerd kind of store, and it seems really awesome. There's a room in the back where you can play card games with other people if you want, and it's a really cool lay out, and the store has really good prices and everything. I hope he succeeds, because his outlook on life is great, and it seems like he deserves it.

So on Friday, it was Allaire and I's one year anniversary, and we didn't really do much, but we did have a good time. She was tired because she didn't get enough sleep, but nonetheless, we declared our love for each other, and had a nice time just being with each other and other friends as well. We went to see Kick-Ass, which was a pretty good movie, and we also went to the mall for a little bit and had some fun.

Yesterday, we were together the whole day, but it was a really lazy day. We took a little walk around for maybe 30 minutes, then came back, ate, watched a movie, and just laid down next to each other the rest of the night. It was really nice, and we talked about some random things in life. She also gave me a gift, which is god damn amazing. If you want to see what she made me, look at the video, it's incredible how she did it. She's one of the most creative and artistic people I know, it's amazing.

I also met up with my friend Nicole for a very short while in the morning and we had breakfast together. We went to a bakery and got some food, then went to another deli and she ate there too. She asked me a very out of nowhere question that I was kind of surprised at. She told me she wanted to ask me an "awkward" question, and said that she had to wait for the right time to ask.

The question was something around, how come I'm so happy all the time and I never seem to get upset and I don't give up and keep going?

We talked for a long time about it, and I basically said that life is too beautiful to get angry, upset, give up, or even have pity on anyone or anything. I think that everyone should be treated equally, and that everyone deserves infinite chances because everyone can change. I'm let down by a lot of people all the time, but I never let it get me down, I nudge it off and I keep going. I always give, because that's the one thing in life that makes me most happy, giving people anything. It doesn't have to be physical, but it would be respect, caring, and even time. Everyone deserves that.

Great Days.

Yesterday I had a really good day. I cooked these wonderful pancakes for mike and we both ate them along with my dad. They turned out pretty good even though the first 3 were ruined because we thought the surface was stick free. The stove we have came with this pancake maker thing that you just put over the burner, and it's flat and stick free.


After that, we went to the park and started practicing volleyball, only because I don't really enjoy soccer all that much. I'm alright at it, it's just boring to me, and I prefer handball, frisbee, football, or something like that. There wasn't a net to play with so we used the tennis courts, and it was kind of fun.

Then Allaire and Erika came, along with Amanda and Zach, and then we all played together, and it was really bad, because everybody isn't that good, so we just kind of stopped. Then we all went to Mikes house and when we got there his dad wanted us to plant a new tree he got from Japan into the front yard. It was a tree that grows straight up and it's really thin, but it took a while, so I started grilling some hamburgers. I grilled hamburgers for everybody including Mikes mom and dad, and everyone seemed to like it but I think they could have been better.

I want to get better at cooking in general.

After that, we all watched a movie in Mikes basement. I kind of fell asleep during the movie, and apparently I like to twitch in my sleep from what I'm told. The movie was called A Serious Man. I tried to watch it, but I couldn't stay awake, I was so sleepy.

That pretty much sums up the whole day. I think it was pretty good.

Oh yeah, and I got a new keyboard to start practicing with!

Heat, and a Journal Entry

0 comments Posted by Bijan Turkcan at 1:27 PM

Man, it's hot outside.


I don't really have much to talk about, so it's Journal Entry time. I'm going to recite a journal entry that I wrote, randomly. I'm not going to type the whole thing out, because it's not meant to be read kind of, it's more meant to be read out loud to you, for you to hear. If you want to hear it, you're going to have to watch the video.
