I finally got my computer up and running again, I didn't actually format it, but I did upgrade to XP.
The past week or so has been really queer. I felt like absolute shit for at least 3-4 day, which is odd for me these days.  I think that I've gotten over the fact hailey doesn't actually still like me. It just was that one night, and that's where it should stand. Rehersals have been great, I've been to at least 3 I didn't have to be at, but it was cool. My relationship with my parents has been a little fscked up too, I'm going to try to reconcile with them this weekend, try to be the "Golden Son" again. "saint"..what can I say about her? She is no longer trying and it is sad...absoultely fscking sad. But I hope that I can get her to come by threatening to take away the lead in the project from her...she'll come running back...I hope...I really need her as a base to centre myself and if she isn't here, I get a little stressed. I still don't understand Lisa...I'M NOT INTERESTED IN HER! FSCK! I think I should stop being nice to her, she's mistaking that for flirting or something like that. I don't know...I still don't understand women and why they do all those crazy things they do. "saint" helps, but not even she understands the really high matinence ones...I don't think anyone does...
Anyway, these days I'm just living it day to day, no really long term plans until after high school...Oh, East of the Sun West of the Moon, May 4-8th...Come to it, it's really good. Trust me. I'm not being bias...ok I am...but still...come see it...SEAQUAM...I handed in all those stupid History questions this morning..to a sub...Bobus won't like that...not at all...who cares? I handed them in, that's all that matters...I'd be happy with half marks with a project that is out of 97...Not going to fail history...I'm using the history bible workbook...I will beat Bobus!!!He wouldn't sign to out for a conference this week...one I've been meaning to go to for the past two years...but I did use my time and have the most constructive day of my life... No cold war test can stop me...Oh...Cold war...I saw "From Russia Last Night" on TV, it was on at like 3...that is my favourite Connery Bond movie...the AR 7 and that Grant fight scene...I like the book better(isn't that always the case?) Day 2's rock...I get their at 7:30 for rehersal...get all my work done before 10...go for a 2-3 mile run...get an early lunch...then have a nap in the coucillors waiting room(Comfy couches...) then I'm already for the afternoon...Life is getting to be ok..at least at school

My sleep patterns are screwed up again....4 am bed time, 6am wake up....3 hour naps...I think a person can die of this sort of stuff. Lack of sleep, insomia...nacolepsy...oooo..scary... This could turn into "Fight Club"...that would be cool...seriously...being a different person when I sleep and start a organization to change the world...no...that wouldn't be very good...That would make me even more messed up than I am right now...Working as a different person while I sleep...hey that means I would at least have a job. Things I miss: Hailey(yeah, really...the one I want, not the one I know...), Coffee(good stuff, not that cheap shyte..711 does make good coffee...I don't joke) My car( My garage door is broken! i can't get it out! repair crews come monday! I don't want to drive the big SUV my parents have! But I will anyway, i still love my car...94 sunbird)
Carrie and Alex are really comming along with their rehersals, they can sing the hell out of their songs...but they complain way too much during morning rehersals....Graeme and I just bitch for 5 minutes then get right to work....EOtS is really comming together and I'm proud to be a part of it, I thought it was crap at the beginning, but now it seems pretty good...maybe because i got the male lead....I don't know..come see it! seriously...it's going to rock the house! Alex just needs to stop over acting..then it will be ok...I wonder how her parents feel? i remember back in scouts...I don't think her dad remembers me...(yay) I've done so much with her in the acting program, by sheer chance too...it's odd as hell...
Anyway, I might go to a B-party tomorrow...Ps2 and games all night...

Oh-Weapon of the Weak
C7a2!

The new and improved Canadiann Forces Rifle!!
M4 retractible stock, green funiture and ambi-catch magazine release...with an Elcan scope on top...
Caliber:5.56 nato...they should stop showing them with those stupid Thermold Mags(30 rounds)...I think we've stopped using them...something about them exploding or something...oh...a note to J-dogg...it doesn't look THAT bad!!!...I can't wait until we get an XM8...that'd be awesome...

Site of the Week: I don't know...Check out the IMDB at www.imdb.com
if you need to know anything about anything that has an actor in it...it is there...one of the reason I got a computer in the first place was to see that site...

Current Song? FastBalls "The way"...because the road that we walk on is paved in gold, it's always summer we'll never get cold, we'll never be loney, we'll never get old...awesome...and Chris Gains' "That's the Way" I've been sitting on my desk trying to plug it out on my guitar...Hendrix practiced sitting on his desk...remember that one..

Yeah, I think I'm caught up on life...

Until later

-Cleric

Mood: Tired(the good kind)

Just got back from a 4 hour work out with "Saint." She said she hadn't worked out in a year and it was obvious. But it was ok...it still was nice to have a good workout...4 hours, weights, cardio, pool...it was heaven and just what I needed. But I will feel like hell in the morning...7:30 rehersal...yes, I am heading towards a burnout...if I can hold in until may 9th I'll be ok. But I might burn out quicker if I have to reherse in this monster http://homepage.mac.com/greg.dennett/What's%20new%20frame%20pages/the%20bear%20costume.html yes...laugh at me...laugh at the bear...it's sad...but it is a big part and I fought hard for it...maybe too hard...I guess I get what I deserve...BUt I still feel proud. I've been playing UT 2K4 for the past few days now, it rocks....I got my first headshot last night...again, I feel very proud...when the annoucer screams HEADSHOT...that lightning gun rocks...anyway, the days have been good to me and I'm doing ok...ok.

it's short, I know...but's that..I'm out of stuff

March.12.2004

Mood: Hollow inside(don't know why)

I'm beginning to actually enjoy the people in grade 12, they aren't as bad as I once thought. GRADS support each other against the teachers and we are one united front...it makes me really proud. What did I do today? nothing! yep...I should of been doing work so I don't have any to do over spring break...but no... I completely and utterly pissed away the entire day. No one wants to work on the last day before spring break, we had no rehersals, so that was nice.  I had morning spares...Lenny and Bobus told us not to come. They are off marking the Cross Grade Essays that all the grads wrote and the beginning of the week. Well, Lenny never said not to come, but telling us we have a sub is pretty much the same thing. I hate subs in Grade 12...especially the ones on a powertrip (Mr Flom...Law...yep...hate him) it bugs me when a sub walks into a classroom and begins to throw everything out of whack. So I just didn't show up...my WHOLE English class didn't show up(GRAD SPRIT!) I think Barton didn't go...he was the only other kid with me during the walkout in grade 10...maybe he was there...I don't know...he could have been playing Majuan in the cafe for all I know... I don't really care.. but it is interesting to note. Anyway I came home early and chilled for a while...Played some UT2k4. I finally know how to get on a server, so I've been fragging with a bunch of other people and that is always nice...No one likes to frag alone. oh...EnragedPyro...My bro's avatar...yes Pyro and Cleric are brothers...anyway he found a letter that said do not open until Grad of 2004...anyway, he opened it. It was a letter my grade 7 self wrote to me. It was really nice to see all the hopes I had for the future. A lot of them have come true...like:
1. To loose weight-grade 7=220lbs, now=177lbs. I think I got that one
2.I would have wavy hair...I do..when its long and I don't gel it...I hate it..but I have it...
3. That Jon, Kyle and Bryan would still be my friends...That's kind of right. I still talk to Kyle...Jon and I have been HapaBros since Preschool...I can now respect Bryan after all the shit he did to me in grade 9..so I guess that it was right too.
the weirdest thing in that letter was I said and I quote "Music will still be an everchanging indentiy" WTF? I wrote that in grade 7! but it's true...I like ALL kinds of music... so it is everchanging. It is nice to see how somethings  change, yet somethings still stay the same. I know it sounds chiche, but its true. It said that I would still like StarWars...ha! I was a disapointed fan....now I just like ROTJ...I think it's odd that I didn't talk about girls or anything like that...but I do know for a fact that the Grade 7 me still like brunettes...it is evident in the autobiography I wrote in grade 7....the picture of my "wife" looks kind of hottish...not really...I thought I'd go into the arts in high school...drawing and stuff...ha...I can't draw a line these days...but that could mean the "performing arts" as well...like all the stuff I'm in now...wow...it really makes one think...speaking of thinking...

Hailey has been running through my mind today. I think it's sad that the one I love exsisted in that one moment that night. But everyonce in a while I look back and I know that the moment was perfect and I was happy...oh, a shooting happened outside the Asian resteraunt we almost ate at that night....I knew exactly where it was when they showed it on the news and it was nice to remember, but it was bad because someone was shot...I wish she wasn't so immature and that she could deal with me like a decent person, not with all these high school lies...I guess I can't expect much...I think I may remain the eternal bachlor...which isn't a bad thing I guess...unless "she" comes along...yeah right...only in my dreams...(sigh) what time is is? shyte...almost one...anyway...this was good...you want a weapon of the week? sure...
Emerson SpecWar Folding knife
these have only been big in the past few years, but they are some of the best folding combat knives I have ever seen...check them out...I'll do one more...
The Kahr K9...
it too has made a splash in the past few years...a small, slim compact 9mm handgun with a smooth as silk double action trigger...I'd like to carry both of these on a daily basis one day...

Songs: 2 ends of the spectrum this week
the cool mello sounds of Elvis Costello's "I'm in the Mood Again" the first line can't be "Hail to the Texans"? can it? anyway...great song and on the other end...Eminem's "White America"

ok, that's it

-Cleric(for UT2K4-Cler1c...ph34r my nekkid l33t skillz!) 

Ps:March15...It's "Hail to the Taxis"...I feel dumb

ok, it just came to my attention that a "Grey Cleric" is a character in Everquest....I DO NOT PLAY EVERQUEST!!!! "Grey" comes from my friend(Being inbetween black and white), and Cleric comes from the move Equlibrium...ok? we clear? good...

For some reason I'm very tired for no reason, I didn't do anything  hard today. Just played some Xbox and some UT2k4...

yep, that's it...I just wanted to clear that up...

-Cleric(not from EverQuest)

Mood-slightly out of phase...whatever that means...

Happy St. Patricks Day! I want to know when the celebration of the patron St. of Ireland became a drunken party with green beer and midgets? I hate holidays sometimes, so commerial...like halloween, valentines day(not this year though), easter(Bunnies = Christ? I hate the pagans ...) Christmas sometimes makes me want to vommit...anyway, I didn't celebrate this great day in any big way. Just me, my bro and a PS2...yes, the one who stood up for Nintendo during those early 64 days has now gone soft for a Sony...I just was dissapointed in the decsions that they made...they need to start to link the Cubes to each other and not to the GBA. PS2 is an ok online console...Xbox is pretty much the best, but they don't have a high speed internet connection like the PS2. Anyway, Tony Hawk Underground is a pretty good game on the Ps2. I'm reliving my old THPSIII days...The new Bond game, everything or nothing...isn't really anything...it's nothing..get it? no? ok...I'm just not very good at the whole 3rd person thing, and the "Bond Sense" mode isn't very cool either. But in THUG...I made a hot little skater chick to play with, the story mode is really fun. I'm such a poser. I want to be a skater, yet lack any skill or coordination...actually, I hate most skaters outright. Maybe it's the fact that I want to belong somewhere...I don't think I do. it's sad, I'm too much a geek to hang with the sports guys, too stupid to hang with the geeks...too weird to hang with the normal people and too normal to hang with the weird people. I thought normal was a state of mind? or was that cool? baka...Eitherway, I'm not in either of them. I don't know where this came from, suddenly I feel so empty and alone...you know how they say that no man is an island? well I think they forgot about me...I'm feeling pretty lonely these days...I'm alone in a crowded room for god sakes...and it's really starting to get to me...oh I hate myself these days. I think I hate myself because deep down inside I want everyone around me to hate me so I no longer have a reason to try...fsck psych...making me think too much...I really want to get back to school, like as soon as possible...having all this spare time is making me ponder my exsistence...and that's bad for my health...last time I did that I was fscked up for an entire year...bottles of white rum and knife wounds...ugh...bad stuff...this is why I do not drink by the way. Just incase anyone wanted to know why a high school senior doesn't drink...most of us do...just not me...I'm part asian and can't hold my liquior anyway...so I try to abstain from any of that stuff...I've been reading way too much MegaTokyo these days...I'm even thinking of getting the book...MegaTokyo has made me want to travel...I should take a year off after school and just see the world...I need to get the hell out of here, but I'm boxed in...I mean it's a nice town, one of the best in the world, but I don't think there is anything left for me here...(look at me...I'm 17 and talking like I'm 40...Quarter life crisis number two...hey, that means I have two more left! I don't know if that's a good thing or not...and no, it is not a "Stiring in my Soul" as the song says. I've said that before in blog too....now I'm repeating myself...so yes....I'm 17 going on 40...that has to be healthy...I need to go to the gym tomorrow...beat myself up for 4 hours and then limp home...nothing better...the good kind of pain, and the good kind of tired...meh, once I get back to school I can forget about all this shit and focus on my academic and EOtsWotM...I hate calling it that... http://homepage.mac.com/greg.dennett/
not my site of the week...but it's the offical site of the Seaquam Acting Department...I've sold my soul to them and got nothing but this stupid shirt...(sigh) that joke used to be funnier. Anyway...It's about 2 am and I have no where to go in the morning and I need to frag something badly...so I'm gone...have fun and maybe I'll be doing better in the morning...
Current Song: Maroon 5's "She Will Be Loved"
I don't mind spending everyday out on your corner in the pouring rain...Look for the girl with the broken smile, ask her if she wants to stay awhile...(sigh) she will be loved...tap on my window...knock on my door..I want to make her feel beautiful...I tend to get insecure...it doesn't matter anymore...

Aren't I good with Lyrics? no? ok
so until we meet again (2 finger salute)

-Cleric(17 going on 40)

I've written this entry at least 3 times...damn MSN explorer...I just finished it and before I could post it my comp froze..it was a really good one too. so I'll try to rant along the same lines...I got back to writing today, it was good, at least I'm not doing that stupid scifi stuff (ICS?!kudih? was I thinking?) anyway, these little scenes are pretty cool...One about a couple of skaters dealing with being who they are....a woman who finds a gun under her lovers pillow and finds out he isn't what she things... a Bodyguard sniper watching his client through a scope and thinking about life...I know, they say write about what you know, yeah, I'd write about being a loser, the DMV, UT2k4 and having everything single woman you meet lie to you...oh yeah, that makes for some exciting stuff...but I mean people have written more with less. look at all this online stuff...Go Piro...I noticed most of my prose is comming out like a play...I don't know if that's a good thing or not....but I think I may have lost a bit of my writing talent...it went to my script writing talent. But it's cool...I should really try to put together a big writing project. I know I keep saying that and I know I'll never do it, but it's something that sticks in the back of my mind. At least it not that god damned "Long Term Novel" thing from a few years back..that idea was good, and most of the stuff for it seemed like a good idea, but it just never came up..the opening scene was just shit, and I hated it but once I got out of high school..it got better with the college and cop years....I can't believe I showed Kirstin that plan....It must have freaked her out something awful...It's not freaky if you're a writer, it's not freaky if your a writer...I need to keep telling myself that...(God bless artistic merit...) At least I got Kirstin out of my mind and off my back(Time trial? what crap...Delutions of Granduer much?)... now I have Hailey...and at least I kissed her...( a pansy kiss mind you...like the way you kiss your sister...stupid...baka..baka...baka...) I wonder if I would of kissed her better this fall out would of never happened...probably not, by what Lisa said, it would of made it worse and what I do with a girlfriend? I'm a 17 year old guy...I wouldn't know where to start....I was going to say 30 and make it like  Fight Club thing, but then that's just wrong. I still do cherish the time we had and it's cool...and I' m not calling Kirstin the Skankasaurous anymore. I've moved on and it's cool! This has been the worst spring break ever...I've ate too much, slept too much and did nothing constructive...but I guess that's what breaks are about...Saint is still out in Alberta working...(no dad...it's not a prostiution ring...a scam yes...but not to it's employees) I kind of miss her and I need someone to see movies with....Pyro just isn't cutting it...I miss those moments walking nowhere, doing nothing with just a slurpee and a power bar...Ah the simpler times...I hope she puts her life back together...I really want her to graduate this year...and if she doesn't, I don't want her to drop out next year. I wish she'd try...Oh, I played UT 2k4 at Sahota's last night, we did the traditional Xbox/LAN Party thing...2k4 rocks...there is this one onslaught map...1 node between the bases...linked by a narrow corridoor...makes for one tight fight...and the space fights are right out of the death star runs...but it was really cool...It's 6 gigs...I have a 9gig harddrive...so I'm not going to get it...I'll just stick with the dem until I can get Counterstrike/Halflife or something else to fill the gap...Jon wants me to get it so bad...I feel bad lying to him about where I was last night. I told him I was with Saint...Sahota and crew don't really like him, so what can I say? Jon has been one of my best friends since Preschool and we're Hapabros, I hope Omar doesn't tell him...Fuck, I'm talking like a chick...Maybe all theses conversations with Lisa have been rubbing off on me...Sahota had a pool table, so Omar and I spent the downtime taking about Life, religon and sucking at pool...but hey, at least I'm better than he is...I'm going to hustle at dry grad...I'm not going to win, but I'm going to hustle...oh, Mramor got the limo...a fscking stretch Lincoln Navagator...a rave party on wheels... seats 19 people...we'll have 10 guys in it...it's going to be so cool...I just hope Saint makes it...but I can't get my hopes up. This is the last day of spring break...grad is just around the corner...but it's going to be a tough fight to the end...I still have to get through the AP exam, Eots and the Law final before I even touch on the English, History and the uggggghhhh...Spanish Provincials...it's not going to be that bad. The BNL concert is comming up to and Grad Laser tag...it's going to be a really busy couple of months...ok, it's not as long as it was before...but it's good

Song of the day: You know that new Avril Lavigne one? "Don't Tell Me." I like it...she's really cute...
Don't think that your charm and the fact that your arm is now around my neck will   get you in my pants, I'm going to kick your ass, and make you  never forget, I'm going to ask you to stop, thought I like you alot, but I'm really upset..Get out of my head, get off of my bed..yeah that what I said...
it makes me think about Michelle...Maybe because I went though that whole phase of wanting to get inside her pants...or maybe she almost ran me down in the safeway parking lot....I don't know...so I guess that's it

-Cleric

well...Saint has dropped out of high school...fsck...she told me last night, for a moment I was really mad that she gave up, then I bashed my head against the wall for a while and I felt better......The sad thing is that she thinks she can go back to high school next year...news flash..she's 19, they will not let her back into regular high school...she has to take adult correspondence or something like that. I feel bad because I tried to help her and it didn't work...I felt like a sack of shit this morning...because of that and it was the first day of real life after spring break. For a monday morning it wasn't that bad. Normal stuff...can't say it was that bad. MuffinHead is moving me to the front of the class in Spanish...to help "stimulate" me...yeah, it was my idea, but she makes it seem like it was a huge punishment...there are about 15 students...it's not like I can hide at the back of the row or anything like that. Still it's not skin off of my nose. Seafast and the Barenaked Ladies concert is comming up so I have lots to do...ok, short, that's it..or not, I lied...it's about 1:50 and I decided  I couldn't sleep so I'm playing a bit of 2k4 and blogging..Well, I feel so bad about saint...I mean I did all I could and it was too little too late to help her...I think I let her down in a big way...but I don't think she see it...I mean my parents said that the only one who let Saint down is Saint and I'm just along for ride...that pretty describes my relationship with Saint most of time...but I still feel like crap and not a very good friend...ok, I'm done again...I had alot more to say, I'm just too tired to type it out. Early Morning Vocal Rehersal....something has to give...either me Eots or Lisa....I think it's the third option...

Song of the Day: The Barenaked Ladies "Testing 1,2,3"
...Testing 1,2,3Can anybody hear me?If I shed the irony...would anybody cheer me?...If I acted less like me...Would I be in the clear?
I guess it's true what the song say...will you succeed or just suck?


ok, I'm out...bye

Mood: Sick and Tired...but I like being a bear

This has been a very long week...I'm doing a lot more these days. First it's Seafast which is next week. I'm now MCing it completely(well almost..Jimmy can't stay...Andrea is way too busy with other things that night)...which isn't that bad, I do enjoy things like that. I'm also organizing the improv team's performance and the the video game tournament. But Seafast is a great event and it's for a great cause. I'm also working in the CARS program(Counter-Attack/Road Safety...no Pyro... it's not an counter terrorist organization) I haven't been to meetings in a while but I' m still involved which is nice (I get to be a corpse and Safety Bear!) Then of course the Acting Program. I felt very good about the Buffy musical rehersal this morning. Blake is working very well and she seems dedicated to the project. Jenny has been a great help and I'm glad she is there. Britany and Ryan aren't working to their full potentional and that scares me a bit. To get this project off the ground it's going to take everyone putting in 110% and I'm not getting that from the full cast...fsck, I wasn't even suppose to direct it, that was Saint's job, but she's out and I'm stuck holding the bag. But it's ok I guess. She has her own problems to worry about. EotS is going ok. We got the bear at the beginning of the week. Graeme and I have been having fun being a giant 8 foot(7.5) polar bear doing really stupid things. It takes 3 guys to get one into the monster and it has to adjusted and padded for it to look good( I was happy when they said my butt needed to be padded...I never thought they would ever say that about my butt...yay!...Things like Have you been ever molested by a bear? You can cook an egg in my crouch...a bear hug is really satisfing...yoga bear...or my favourite "You're not a very well endowed bear" (we put the tail in the front the first time) I swear it's about 30degrees inside the suit and you can't breathe....but it looks really cool when we are down on all four legs...makes you look like a real bear, it's awesome...we just can't the head looking up...it needs to be adjusted...but we both have full wardrobes at school now because god....the sweat is incredible...I changed twice in an half an hour period... the tech guys (Ed) are thinking of installing a fan in the a55..that would be very nice...note to self-Find water bottle....I'm going to need. Rehersal have been big downers lately...it's the "after honeymoon" phase of a large play...been though quite a very of those, it's going to get better...once we get everything running smooth, life's going to go fine. (All the leads need to get healthy...we're all sick as dogs.) But again...it will get better and this will be a very good performance...I hope people come to see this...it's not as well known as something like Macbeth or Sound of Music, but it's something new and different that is going to change the way acting is done act Seaquam...ok...maybe that's a little too over the top, it's going to  be remembered. Almost as much as Dan Tilley as Jesus...ok...no..but still...Acting is going to be dead next year. We were the last true acting grade...there are only a few grade 11's who can step up and carry this program along. The changes to the course selection program have screwed the acting courses as students can only pick 1 elective and they aren't going to choose acting...so I'm glad I'm helping close out an era. On top of all that, I have the Language Proficiency Index next week..it's a huge test that most colleges need for entrance...either a 4/5 out of six or a B in english. Just in case I screw up in the final term I'll have my bases covered. I paniced on the pratice one in english...it was due to the lack of sleep so I need to be well rested before that. The law exam today was tough, I just wasn't ready for it. I haven't been sleeping very well nor eating well and it's beginning to take it's tole on me.  I feel really bad...still once all this is over I'm focusing on my studies because I need to pass and get out of high school.
Enough with the problems...Grad laser tag was last night. I sucked during the first game...My gun didn't work...but the 2nd game...my gun worked too well, I could fire it one handed while everyone else needed two...it was like a mac 10...I had fun...Dennett was the teacher sponser so I got some good shots off at him. I really need to thank Katie for getting me the ride, I do owe her a lot...she works way too hard with Eots and no one seems to notice, I do...her set work is amazing. The rehersal last night was awesome...it no one showed up but Graeme, Kristin, Katie and Myself...so we tagged the back of the theatre...chatted...I spent a long time sitting in the light rafter thinking...it's really peaceful(once you get over the fact it is called the walk of death) It's in the ceiling, so one can see everything on the stage...I loved it. That is what acting is truly about. I can't wait until the cast party...going to kick some ass! The BNL concert is next week! (Same day as the LPI!) Elana and I are psyched fot it...I feel bad that I gave her the wrong information reguarding the LPI...she could have still registered. I hope someone tells her...I'll email her but I can't do anything if she doesn't get it...ok, that's it...I hope Seafast turns out good and I do well on the LPI and the BNL concert is everything I hope it is...

Song of the Day: Maroon 5's "Sweetest Goodbye"
I liked Maroon 5 after they opened for Mayer but now everyone likes the new radio release "This Love." It's a good song but this one is way better...

Weapon of the Week: Benelli M3 Super 90 12 gauge shotgun
This is one of the best shotguns in the world because it can fire in Semi auto and then switch to pump action it there is a jam or to shoot less than lethal rounds. Can be fitted with a host of extras like lights, ghost ring sights, folding stocks...Better than the M1(only Semi) and looks better than the M4 super 90 (only Semi) I like that fact that it is pump and semi...allows for a more flexable shot loadout to be used. It holds 8 rounds which is huge for a tube magazine shotgun...if it is shortened down, it lowers it to 5. But the short one can be used like a pistol(ie Megatokyo's GTC comics uses it)
The LAPD should use these instead of the M1..the M1 cannot shoot rubber baton very well...that's a personal opinion though...ok I'm out bye
