I kid I used to go to school with before I moved from New York died in a motorcycle accident early yesterday morning. Didn't really know him, just happened to sit in the same classes a few times through the course of middle school and junior high. Still, kind of eerie to think about.
He was posting on Facebook up until not even an hour before the accident. Just shows how quickly one instance that changes everything can happen. 19 is way too young to go.

That's a chilling story.
I was casual friends with a guy from NYC back in college. He graduated a year before me. Just before graduation, his parents gifted him a brand new 1987 Maxima, fully loaded black on black leather. I got to see the car once... it was gorgeous for its day. A lot like this car here:
Someone carjacked him in NYC, beat him up bad. He died in the hospital.
Haven't thought about that in a while. Still makes me sad.

damn. reminds me of this guy i know. probably 3-4yrs ago now. i just saw and talked to the guy taht sunday..that monday morning my mom called me at work to tell me he was in a motorcycle accident..for damn near a month he was on his death bed...luckily now he's pretty much back to his old life..but man, that was a sad time
I hope they hit the truck driver with some heavy charges because what he did was about as stupid as it gets. I've been in the area and you have to be a complete moron or totally not paying attention to get on the highway the wrong way. There are massive wrong way signs at the end of the off ramps. And when you think about it, there's a good chance there would have been a fatal accident with a car too. There's not too much lighting on the side of a truck as opposed to the back or the front.

My girlfriend had a friend from her hometown that committed suicide and you can see the Facebook post that progressed to his suicide. Crazy ****

That is a terrible story. Did they ever catch the guys who did it?
IDK what happened with the murder of the guy I went to college with. We were just friends as classmates, and didn't hang much outside of classes. Boy he was proud of that car, though. Shame he only got to enjoy it for about a week.

The worst part is from what I'm reading on Facebook and in the news stories about it, it wasn't his fault at all. It was about 3am and he was on a 65mph highway. This idiot in a tractor trailer got on the wrong on-ramp and ended up going the wrong way on the highway. He decided to pull an illegal u-turn across all four lanes. This is when he came up on the bike and must have been too late seeing what was going on. He slammed into the passenger side of the truck.

So I went to a party this weekend, and got to see a whole bunch of friends I only see once or twice a year. I took the G, and it was showroom clean for the road trip. Unfortunately, the one old friend who actually knows, builds and races cars... he wasn't there. Instead I had a group of people gawking at the G saying things like:
Is it front wheel drive?
What kind of mileage does it get?
Why is it a stick shift?
Isn't that the same as an Altima?
Can you fit 3 people in the back?
Sure is pretty... kind of small, though.

And probably not even that, because they live in a pretty rural location, where the height of cool is a rusty old truck with off-road tires and a gun-rack.
Speaking of deaths, I think the first death of my HS class was this guy here:

Total *******, but still R.I.P.
The only one that bothered me from my H.S. was our wrestling team captain:
http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/5880002/
Smitty was cool, and one of the few wrestlers that welcomed me on the team and didn't hate me because Wrestling wasn't my sport, I was only in it to get in better shape.

Just got back from testing....... i failed.... it was a progression test, English/Math/Skills test, both english and math test was 50 questions in 20mins, both those tests said you are not expected to finish just answer as much as you can... im not sure how they grade the tests but my grades were... 350/355 (english) 305/355 (math) passed those comfortably for the expected minimum score of 265... the skills test was 68questions 30mins and you are expected to answer all, the minimum score was 54 i got a 43... quite disappointing but out of a testing of 34 people, i was literally the only person left in the skills test... hopefully that counts for something if they are really looking into hiring... im a little upset with myself though to say the least

99% and 86% seems pretty darn good scores. Shame about the last one, but like you said, if you were the only one left then it seems you're as good as they're going to get, regardless of expectations. And it sounds to me like their expectations are unrealistic.
Sure would like to get a glance at those questions to see what you're up against.
What's up? Is this part of a job interview?
