The REVIEW.

Hi, its NML writing up a review for somethings i bought.

Lets get to the basics, when i buy things i think about a few things, price, quality, shipping, and durability.

Price bc im a freshman college student who doesnt have much money, i dont wanna be paying the school back some silly sum of 100k before i have at least a masters degree and a job in a field that i dont see as drone work(unless i make it big on youtubez)

Quality because i want it to look decent, for it to be ok'd by my gf since she will probably live with me sooner or later and i have the husband mentality. (D'oh whats mine is hers and whats hers is hers lol fml)

Shipping because i dont want it to cost a lot to get here and i dont currently have a car or ride to take me to get things, so i want the shipping to be available and cheap. and if it can be shipped here, it can be moved by one man without a super issue.

Durability, because if it cant stand up to some usage, wear, etc, might as well of just shopped at family dollar and got the super cheap shit and just replaced it as time went on. i dont want a spoon, fork or knife to come undone due to me using it on some super tough steak that i burnt on accident. LOL.

So onto the basics. I got an haier 0.7 cubic foot microwave which is 700 watts. the same wattage as moms super old microwave.

First thing to note, it has a turn table. Living the way im trying to break free from. this is the FIRST microwave to ever be in this house to have a turn table. both of moms old microwaves have no turn table and food never gets cooked thoroughly imo.

Oh shit son, A Microwave with a turn table in this house? OH NO HE DIDNT!

You'll notice how much smaller it is, and how many more buttons it has. Moms microwave doesn't have a light inside. so you cant see if the foods fully cooked. now here's the funny thing. She paid $50 for her microwave years ago (and she bought it second hand from some guy.) i paid $64.64 SHIPPED (brand new never used) for mine. So you tell me, who's the better shopper?

Her microwave on bottom, mine on top bc its the KING!

Mine saves space, Hers is just a huge waste of it.

So Before i post about my plate and the yummy foods, i figure id gross you out by showing you the inside of moms microwave. Mine you, she has and has had money, she opted to buy a samsung galaxy tab, if you're a friend and have known me a while you know ive spoken on this idiocy many times.

Pics or it didnt happen you say? mmk.

 You notice that top part coming down? yeah i fixed it the best i could, it came all the way apart due to the grease coating the inside and its having an effort on the screws. You wanna know whats funny? she blames me. I dont eat fish... the stuff you see inside, you guessed it, fish grease and breading from her fish. That shit pops and sizzles everytime she puts it in there to reheat but its my fault yo. if you look back i started telling her about her microwave last year when i was dating karen. did she do anything about it? nope, she'd rather buy cell phones and tablets. so when her microwave bites the dust. i wont be without (hopefully ill be working and in my new apt) like a boss!

Her microwave, notice the lack of features.

my 64 dollar nuker. notice the features, notice how simple it is to use. and notice that it actually reheats and doesnt just wanna fully cook everything lol.

Ok enough about how my microwave is pretty and hers looks shitty. lets get on to the plate and my food test.

Now mind you ive tried to make waffles in her nuker, never come out how i want them, if i had to grade it id give her microwave a D-

No turn table and all it does is cook really lowers the grade. theres only one thing really to complain about when it comes to mine. My dinner plates are too big lol well not too big but it doesnt spin if i used a full sized dinner plate from my set. i have to use a smaller one. (huge ass plates yo. fit for a king!)

I removed the plate from the box, i just wanted ppl to see how they were packaged.

I personally like the modern print design and feel it would look good in MY apartment.

For the test, i decided to nuke 3 waffles in my microwave. I wanted them to actually be crispy and not soggy.

pwned waffles ftw. Crispy? read below!

Derp Derp i like patterns. JP symbols on my pillowcase like wut? i ganked it from liz.

So yeah. the test was simple. i wanted to see how close i could make waffle without a toaster, texture wise. i wanted them to be crispy and have a slight crunch, but not super hard. with my microwave u dont get a crush, u get more of a smoosh. and the middle is ALWAYS soggy as hell. theres absolutely no way arounnd it. with mine, they're crisp, nice. a tiny bit of sog from the vapor due to heating frozen waffles directly. but it worked a hell of alot better then using hers. all in all i gave my microwave an honest A- (next kitchen thing to get? you guessed it. A MFIN TOASTER!)

All in all i was pleased with the $64 i spent. i could use the microwave in my room n she wouldnt know (its that quiet) the plates are GREAT, even tho too big for my small nuker. the hold heat at THE BOTTOM AND NOT NEAR THE EDGES. that was huge for me. im use to picking up a plate and getting slightly burned. but not with these. the waffles and bottom of the plate was SUPER HOT. but the sides where you would wanna hold or grab the plate. just warm. the plates get a solid A. not gonna take off points due to my poor calc on buying a smaller microwave lol.

anywho thats it. a long a long winded post. but i just wanted to say that u can do alot and spend less then 150. i got half of my kitchen for 50 bux to start. sure im gonna upgrade and go bigger, microwave, stove, etc when my life gets on track. but for 50 + 64. i did a hell of a job. and im happy with my products.. now as for home depot shipping (they dented the back of my nuker) they can smd.

The full run down.

So lets see. I passed all my classes, I did the WORST in math. I had an 83% before the final. After the final i had a 77%. I forgot to turn in the extra cred paper on the last day and i just said eff it. So college for the most part is going ok. Im not really gonna judge it until i get into upper classes and close to my first degree. Thus far, as long as im able to keep the stress my mom brings out of school i do perfectly fine. Side note, i feel if i had a MBP or working laptop for the first semester i would have did much better in math. mainly due to part of the homework was online, and part of it was text book. Hopefully ill get that MBP the moment they kick back my $ for school and my loan.

Things ive done while out of school.

I bought the following items for my apartment and self while im stuck at moms.

#1 Arctic king Personal air conditioner (best thing ever for these hot summer days)

#2 Haier 0.7 Cu. Ft. 700 Watt Microwave.

#3 $25 dollar flatware set from walmart.com

#4 $25 dollar dinnerware set from walmart.com

#5 a new ps3 offical bluetooth. (will work for the phone, mac book, and ps3 with ease)

#6 Paid off at&t and restored my internet service. (no more pirated wifi crapping out and preventing me from homework and other things)

#7  $200 in clothes. (no more of that two pair of shorts and 3 color A shirts nonsesne)
I feel that this was VERY important. One to stop people from staring so much, two for my own self esteem and i was tired of wearing the same shit daily, and three bc i have to start building from the ground up. im gonna buy more clothes and ill look decent now for job interviews.

#8 a brand new pair of shoes same shoes i bought from nikeid.com but in a more jamaica smokin mon color. ;)

The final peices of the puzzle are the mac book pro, The HD PVR, and a job.
The first two are seemingly easier due to the fact i have loan money plus kick backs from the school otw. So now all i have to do is break the curse and actually get hired in ohio. i was able to do it in florida with no issue. but here its like pulling teeth. hopefully college will change that.

All in all thats about it. im just trying to do what i can and deal with things as they come.
Im going to review my microwave and dishes in a seperate blog with pix. if you're a budget college student or just starting out, you might wanna check it out.

I've been neglecting the blog / vlog for a while so here's an update.

Hello world! I bring to you, the night with the crown! He get down! (Know that!)

Seriously though, hello readers. I haven't updated people on my life, games, and stuff for a while, so here I am bringing the news. School is going well, I'm passing all of my classes thus far, school ends in about two-ish weeks, and if I continue to do what I'm doing ill have 12 credit hours under my belt toward my associates. My mom is still a twat, the stupid shit is still there and I'm just sitting back waiting for the semister to end. Hopefully ill be able to find a job, ill use some loan money for an apt and take it from there. I am constantly figuring things out and working toward my personal happiness. Hopefully ill get moved out, find a way to afford a mac book pro, get internet in my new apt, get an hd recorder and start youtubing. There is alot more I can talk about and break down so from now on ill try to blog during breaks or on my phone since that's what I'm doing now. And don't forget my cell has been off service wise for about two months. Ill write more later. :)

It's been a while since i wrote a blog so i guess todays a good down day to do one!

So as a lot of you know i decided to enroll in college to further my education and better myself. It's been about a month give or take and it has been an interesting experience. Its new and different. the mathy part is a challenge, psyche and english would be a joke if i had a laptop (mac book or go home) to do notes and stuff with. The most difficult thing? all of the hot chicks that attend this school. a few of my friends and i have come to the same conclusion. The difficulty comes from not fucking around and doing something stupid with one of these women, whether it be skip class, get caught doing something naughty, etc etc.
That's the big thing that takes focus... now factor in no sex from the one you're with (if applicable to your situation) and bam you have a prime set-up for failure and or fumble!

Lets see what else can i mention. my phone as usual goes on and off so much to the point where i burned her sim card and she paid $20 for a new one. And now that ones off to which means i should probably burn this one as well so she gets the god damn clue..
Yesterday i left my keys at school so i got all the way to her house and had to knock on the effing window due to me not having my keys, then i had to fight with my shitty windows laptop and pirate the signal just long enough to get the phone number to the TLC building here. thn i had to wait till this am to get my keys and for those mfers to find it. i told them id be here in the am to pick them up but apparently that didnt register to someone. So now i have my keys back and it being a wednesday its a short day so i pretty much have nothing to do and can pretty much just fuck around all day.. i got all the online homework for math done which means i have no online math homework due till the 30th of this month which is great bc i typically tend to forget homework.

I need to get a computer really bad bc then i could do all my stuff on the go, seeing as most classroom doors are left open i could just pull up to eng,psy or math early, sit down while no ones there and blitz it with my incredible typing speed. (Yes people still look at me funny even in a college due to the fact that i rarely look down as i dont need to see the keys and i know the damn keyboard isnt going anywhere unless i move it.. thus making me a boss!)

Lets see.. this month is coming to an end.. i tired to give rebecca stuff for her birthday and make sure she was ok and had everything she needed.. we're suppose to hang out at the mall out here between her jobs on saturday.. im gonna try to use that time to talk to her about some things and hopefully make the bond tighter, who knows.. i dont understand alot of her actions and i feel like im the only one who cares enough to try to do anything. i literally bend over backwards and im not met with any effort imho on her behalf which is really starting to become a bother as if she wants things to work then she has to put in work too. i cant just do all the shit on my own and if she doesnt have any money to contribute to the move out / move in all hells gonna break loose bc 3.5k or however much they decide to put into my account will only cover things for so long. plus im prolly gonna have to do some foot work too on that front. all work and no play (literally) makes nml a dull and VENGFUL MAN! not to mention all these hot chicks keep staring at me and its giving me all sorts of ideas and naughty thoughts. and why do i keep attracting younger women? i dont look my damn age so i guess its zomfg lets fuck with him bc he looks young? got aggro'd by some lady yesterday bc im openly seen moving fast as hell from one place to another.. they dont realise this is a job to me and i see it as one. i dress in typical work clothes, i come to work on my education and then vanish. no time for fun bs and games and failure is not an option.. now only if there wasnt so many hot & fuck worthy women... boy do i need to get laid..

So its a new day.

So i finally got around to loading up all the vlogs, old and new.. i may have inadvertantly narfed all the numbers but who cares eh? They are some good videos showing the progress made.. even me being a tad emo over rebecca being... bleh irl.

But here are some foot notes for all of you whom are too lazy to just click a youtube video of mine and minimize it.

I got into college, got all the financial aid shit worked out. I have 12 credit hours, 3 classes for the summer as alot of other shit was packed and these hours are insane. i hope i can find a job to work around the free time that i have so until the money from loans comes im never at moms.

I got some nifty new toys.  the expensive skull candys with a mic really makes me happy even tho they take a lil getting use to and i dont think the volume button works with my phone properly but least i dont have to hold the damn phone up to my face. im tryin to avoid the cancer from cellphone bs lol.

I got a 12 MPIXEL camera for taking hi-res photos n maybe ill do a vlog or two with it once i figure out wtf i get a memory card for this thing or something along those lines :( i  could put my two gb memory thing in it but i need to find an adaptor for it doh!
i think ima go get a 8 GB pen drive for my tv shows on ps3 as i can watch a season before i have to delete and add. (most the shows i watch are about 7 GB a season)

So all in all if i ignore my mom completely and just keep away the headaches i should  be just fine. i think ima just go get a few more things and head out. kinda tired of sitting here and i need to get rid of this headache and do homework for tomorrow.

Ill add more later or tomorrow. i holla!

how to get rid of an annoying caller on ur android phone.

This is for my fb friend who needed assistance. First you have a variety of options. T mobile allows call blocking if you login to ur account online. Sprint might as well as at&t and vzw. But if u don't feel like calling them or want to be possibly charged. Most android phones have to send all calls to vm option. Sprint now has a merged google voice app. U might need to look into that. If u use the send all calls to vm option. They need to be a contact. This is nifty for annoying ex's parents, etc. Simple long touch on the persons name after u go into contacts. Press options and u should see something similar to the pics above. If they are not a contact. Most android phones will let u blacklist them. This will reject all future calls. Ur phone will not ring. Depending on ur fw and provider it may give them the this number has been disconnected message. I know it does for googlevoice bc thatz how I get rid of pests.

What a wonder-FILLED mothers day?

So I woke up today. And I do my normal. Go to the rr get something to drink (oj) etc. As I'm drinking my oj. I hear "can I have some cereal, I don't have any" my typical response is always the same.. "no" is what I utter.. but seeing as today is mothers day I figure what the hell. This maybe the last mothers day she has any sons what's so ever so I go ahead and open my unopened cereal and give her some, and I utter happy mothers day. Mind you I have headphones on. I don't get a thank you for anything I do, EVER. I gave her kool-aid and a row of cookies outta my unopened family pack the day before yesterday. No thank you no nada. So as I come home yesterday from hanging out with diz & his bm I walk thru the door and there's a measuring cup on the broken ass microwave with a bright yellow rang under it (so that I see it? Lol) indiciating she needs sugar. I go ahead and open my unopened 7lb bag of sugar and give her some. Not even a thank you for that either. Now let me make this clear. I HAVE ENOUGH FOOD FOR THE MONTH THANKS TO THE WORK I DO. AND ITS ENOUGH FOR ME. The past 2-3 times she's went to the grocery store I have received nothing other then a box of cereal and some milk. I am expected to survive off of that and whatever petty cash ($100) a month max for the entire month. Now factor in she takes $30 out for the cell phones internet. (Which constantly goes on and off at het discression) bc u know every time she gets mad she does what? That's right. Suspends or deactivates my phone line. Do I get a refund of my $30? Hell no. Now lets factor in. Bus fare is 5$ for the day. Or $23 for a (7) day pass. Seeing as I'm searching for a job AND trying to get back in college. I have to get bus fare handled before anything. This is my pathetic "life" and what I am struggling to break free from. So with that said. I leave you all with the picture of what I walked out of my room to find. A note from my lovely mom. You can read it for yourself. And the second picture? My reply. (Incase you dunno, thats my phones sim card) "No sacrafice, no victory"
