i've always wondered exactly what type of shotgun the t800 uses in T2. the way he empties a shell and puts another back in doesn't look like the atypical pump-action shotgun. so i looked around a little on the web; here's what i found:
-10 guage shotgun
(guage determines the size of the barrel; i forget what, but most shotgun guages range from some large number to 12; 12 is police issue. the lower the number, the bigger the barrel(ouch))
-sawed-off
(you don't really realize this, until you think about it, but it's true; if arnold was using a non-sawed-off barrel, it would look a lot more like a rifle. it doesn't look rediculously short, or glaringly obvious like in t1 when kyle reese actually took the time to saw it off, but it's there.)
-repeating shotgun
(doesn't mean it's automatic; means that you can put a couple of shells in there and you won't need to reload for about 5-8 times)
-was made by winchester.
the last one's the reason why it cocks the way it does. winchester used to make rifles like that; where you had a large hammer to displace a spent rifle bullet and insert a new one. when they approached him to make a repeating shotgun, he consented, but stated that it'd be much better for them to make a pump-action shotgun. winchester would eventually make a pump-action, but for i think about a couple of years, they made these ghetto shotguns.(go read wiki if you want more info)
that's why you don't see many of those winchester shotguns anymore; a pump-action simply is faster at "reloading."
nevertheless, after you watch t2, and seeing how arnold coolly flips the shotgun around while driving the bike to reload it, you'd probably wish you had one too.

favorite movie when i was a kid... gave me nightmares like crazy though.
i love when arnold's taking the shotgun out of the box, cocks it and steps on the roses. bgm's awesome during that moment.

wow, richard's actually going to say something deep on his journal. weird, eh?
---
when the pilgrims stated "cleanliness is next to godliness," this exact phrase isn't found in the bible(at least, I have yet to find it in the KJV). HOWEVER, if you look at the numerous times the Bible states for Christians to abstain from uncleanliness, I think the inference is quite clear. Of course, we know the apostle Paul did not literally mean that being messy is a sin. however, I have noticed that when you can summarize a person's habits as "neat" or "tidy" they tend to be more in control of things that are going on.
i personally, might come to realize that i don't have an exact method to which i want to approach my day written out in stone, not just listing what i want to do, but in what order i should do it, that i might end up screwing myself 10x over(see [1]).
so, in the interest of trying to change things, from now on i'm going to try to write down an entire list of what i'm going to do the next day, in that order, before i go to bed. maybe things will be different tomorrow. i pray it will.
---
[1] i think for myself, my laziness tends to come from not being hard enough on myself. thanks for all the support and advice people have given me these past years of my life, but ultimately, i already know what i need to do, but if i don't feel like bringing myself to do something, i can't bring myself to do it. in order for you to keep me from doing what i don't want to do(as opposed to me keeping myself), you'd need to literally watch me 24/7 in the same room. the change, as they say, needs to come from within. i believe that i am slowly changing, making little strides, by learning what makes my mind wander or tick in moments of self-reflection, but i have much more to learn about how my mind works, and how i can bring that to usefulness, mainly, doing what i don't want to do.

wow...
(read the description)
i've got to find this hacked version of the game and find out how to do those glitches...

i've got to find this hacked version of the game and find out how to do those glitches...
according to the book i am reading, 1st john 5:7,8 is the STRONGEST argument for the trinity in the king james bible. it states clearly that there are 3 that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. john has also stated in the gospel that he wrote, that the word became flesh.
it has been changed in ALL other bible versions.
(Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe the trinity, or the Godhead exists, and don't believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God; without this verse, it is much more difficult to convince them that the trinity does exist)
there haven't been many greek manuscripts which contain 1st john 5:7,
HOWEVER, the evidence for it is still very strong: there have been numerous manuscripts in other languages which contain it, and many church fathers back then quoted it; it was just not found in a lot of manuscipts; what gives?
two possible reasons:
1)scribal error: the three that bear witness in verse 7 was confused to be that of verse 8, hence the accidental skipping of a line
2)numerous cults believed that God was all-inclusive(or something like that where the entire world make up God)
i'd post more, but library's going to close; this should give you something to chew on for a bit.

if you ever, EVER, find the snickers commercial where then nba player gheorghe muresan is in it trying to repeatedly make a half-court shot facing away saying "and score one for the kids", then breaks down sobbing at the end, please give it to me... i can't find it at all.

sometimes, i seriously wonder why i don't like jason kidd and the new jersey nets
i mean, almost every basketball fan i know likes jason kidd...
and i ask myself, why don't you?
casual fans like him because he seems to find people out of nowhere...
devoted fans like him because he's not only a very unselfish player, as a passer rather than a scorer, but he's also a very good defender; this past season he was on the 1st all-nba defensive team.
first of all, i don't HATE kidd... i merely have a LOT more teams i like compared to the nets. but lemme give some possible reasons why i don't like the nets more...
-nets have never really been a team with bigs that i really liked. used to like kenyon martin, but then he left. i tend to like bigs who are either good all-around, or monsters on the defensive end.
-in some strange way, the more i think about it, i like players who can score more than those who can pass. yea, i was surprised when i initially thought about it, but the more i think about it, i think it rings true. it's not that i don't like players being unselfish; no, otherwise, i'd be a laker fan by now. i like players who can pass AND create shots by themselves. i think i can sum it up this way:
when it comes to offensively-efficient players with the ball, i like:
the scorer who can pass rather than the passer who can score; the 1st would be like billups, the 2nd would be like kidd.
of course, a good passer needs to have court vision, but i just feel in more ways than not, that when you are a scorer more than a passer, the passing oppurtunities tend to create themselves. if you have a reputation for being virtually unguardable 1 on 1 in the waning seconds of the 4th quarter, the help defenders know they can't simply just stick out an arm in order to throw you off; they must actually come over and commit. that means someone is going to be WIDE open.
(it's also a more inspiring story when you hear of a scorer becoming more and more selfless trying to find others rather than a passer trying to become more of a clutch player)
put it this way; hypothetically, suppose you are a power forward defending against a pick-n-roll situation at the end of the game; the power forward on the other team is robert horry; classic example of a role player who can't create his own shots, but leave him wide open at the end of games, and you just buried yourself.
his teammate is either jason kidd or chauncey billups, and has the ball. your point guard teammate is a decent defender, not a lockdown defender, not like nash. all of your other teammates are guarding well, not intending to double.
i personally would rather face the kidd/horry combo than billups/horry. just because i would have a little more faith in letting my teammate guard kidd one-on-one. if i do need to double, i wouldn't necessarily need to run all the way over with my hands up, just stick my hand in there.

so, does this now make chicago a powerhouse in the east again?
heh, i wish the pistons' starting 5 stayed together(i like the defensive combo of ben and tayshaun way too much), but i DID like the new-look bulls even before wallace came over. i like noccioni and tyson a lot.
so, the team that pretty much led the league in fg % now just got that much sicker.
but in some ways, you were expecting this; if they did not fire flip(drastic measure but hey), there would be a pretty good chance they were going to keep trying to become better offensively. they're still good defensively, but this is a MAJOR LOSS, especially considering if they continue to keep an offensive-minded coach.
