Comic Con NY October 14, 2011

2011-10-17T13:53:00.001-05:00

Keith and I made shirts for our Comic Con trip. We both wore it for the event on friday, the day dedicated to picture taking and buying stuff. $20 round trip train tickets, and a 20 minute walk from Penn Station and we were surrounded by everything comics, gaming, and media related. Many costumes to look at, few impressive, and some not so much. I am so out of the loop with character recognition, but Keith must have been more.

Going into the Anime Festival section was like being at any other anime convention, lots of costume, and lots of artist booths, nothing spectacular or over the top. The gaming area was heavily represented with big names and companies like Capcom. I was excited to see the Nintendo booth and its Mario Kart 7 test area. The Comics show area had DC and Marvel in big areas as expected with many artists selling their drawings in Artists Alley.

Saturday was reserved for us dressing up. We didnt get on the train in costume, many did. We just packed up our stuff and got dressed there. I went as Seto Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh, and Keith went as a furry, particularly as a bunny with a mustache, reminiscent of a Labbit from Kid Robot. And wearing our Comic Con shirt.

Final Day after 19 years. Farewell Pine Valley September 23, 2011

2011-09-23T13:57:00.001-05:00

its been a good run. Time for a New Beginning

19 years the people of Pine Valley have influenced my life in only positive ways, helping me help people and lead by AMC influence cuz my own experienced were not substantial enough to fuel my awesome advice. But helping a friend is helping a friend no matter where the advice comes from.

I feel so lost.

Alot of these people i watched grow, and they have helped me to grow. Thank you ABC for the 19 years.

2011-09-07T02:06:00.001-05:00

Lord, I ask You to bless my friend Bryan.

Where there is pain,
may he find peace and mercy.

Where there is self-doubt,
may he gain a renewed confidence.

Where there is weariness or exhaustion,
give him understanding, patience, and strength.

Where there is fear,
reveal your love, and offer to him your courage.

Give him a greater vision, bless his finances,
and raise up leaders and friends to support and encourage him.

May his spirit always be joyous and
his days rich and full with love and happiness,

And may he always know that he has a friend he forgotten.

McSlick's Summer Bash 2 June 16, 2011

2011-08-03T21:34:00.002-05:00

Nestled in the back corners of Somerset, McSlick AKA the ShowCloser hosts the second of his annual events at his gated estate bringing together friends, family, and people in the loop. The weather was perfect, the drinks were flowing, especially when your party is sponsored by Monster energy, the beats were pumpin through Elite Camp and others. If you didn't get to try some of mama slick's BBQ chicken, then you were missing out. This was definitely a good time. big shout out to CiKstudios.com and @snd2non3 for pics.

2 versions, cuz i know youtube would take down the one with Party Rock Anthem

Find my man @ McSlick.com
This was definitely the 2nd best thing to celebrating my best friends birthday, i figured he wouldn't include me on his celebrations, so here i went. 9 months and counting as of that day.

Crazy Craigslist Transaction

2011-07-08T15:35:00.000-05:00

I had this case of 72 handballs on craigslist, relisted a couple times. I was asking $50 shipped, payment by paypal only no pickups. I dont want to deal with meeting crazy people. Some dude hits me up saying he doesnt have paypal and if i would consider a money order. To brush him off i said yea, only if you send me a money order for $80. he agreed. so i wait for this money order to come and it doesnt, i relist. he contacts me again, says he will send, give him info again he and its done. at this point im mad cuz he is too lazy to read back in the same email for my info. i wait and no envelope. i relist. contacts me again, needs info, wants to meet with cash. i figure he is senile old man that doesnt know how to use email. he said he had to take the train to edison and anytime i can meet at the station is fine. i say tues or thurs cuz im free after 3. he wants fri, when im only free from 3-5. i said fine. he gets there 230, i leave what im doing early so this crazy guy doesnt have to wait long. i get to him and its a bum on a girls bike, makeshift basket, tshirt around head with a snapback ragged hat, neckhole stretched dirty shirt, holey pants, a splint on his leg, a northface backpack full like bums do, and a weight belt that reads 'handball champion of the world' written in permanent marker. i dont know how he has a phone, or even how he got on the train with all that crap. But besides his outwardly bum appearance, he was well mannered, light hearted, and nice. He said he was a handball coach and was buying the lot for the kids. kept talking about helping the kids, keeping them active keeps them away from drugs. i guess it does. taking this dudes $90 that was rolled up in a wad in his sock made me feel like i was taking food out his mouth. it was such a great feeling.

New Beginnings

2011-04-25T19:05:00.001-05:00

I need a New Beginning, and so aptly named because as rumor has it, AMC has been cancelled on ABC for low ratings. So now i need something else to do for an hour out of my day. Watching since 1993, recording every episode cuz it comes on at 1pm when I am at school back then or at work, i lived vicariously thru the residence of Pine Valley. I saw Erica Kane married 4 of her 12 marriages, and watched multiple people get their start from the show. now i got to go out into the real world and create my own drama. doesnt sound safe. Too bad Oprah denied taking on the soap on her network, but it was never her problem.

more on the bad news:::
Soap Opera Digest
WPIX

AMC has been running since 1970. New Beginnings is the name that Erica Kane gave her talk show where she played the former host and executive producer. Daytime television will never be the same.

The Great and the Least,
The Rich and the Poor,
The Weak and the Strong,
In Sickness and in Health,
In Joy and Sorrow,
In Tragedy and Triumph,
You are ALL MY CHILDREN

Jimmy Fallons Late Night Snack

2011-03-24T02:30:00.001-05:00

PIC

When i was told about this flavor, i had to find it. It came up in conversation after i bought some chocolate covered potato chips, and was sharing it with the girls, and one said that there is a Ben and Jerry's ice cream with chocolate covered chips and caramel. I knew i had to had it. the search started at the Ben and Jerry's at Harrah's, where the did not have it. Neither did the Ben and Jerry's attached to Bally's on the boardwalk.

I gave up for a little bit thinking why should i have it when I'm lactose intolerant. fast forward to the present, I'm having one of the worst weeks ever, filled with losses, losing, countless let downs and eye opening realizations. i decided to cheer myself up with my favorite pastime of bacon. Denny's is having their baconalia! promotion with a menu of bacon filled platters and even maple bacon sundae. I went with a friend, and the bacon did not cheer me up. on our way home I remembered that ice cream and figured, there is a few 7 elevens on the way home, ill check. well we ended up checking 5 different 7 Eleven's and 2 Quick Chek's. Nothing. I was about to just tweet if anyone could help poor old me find it. Giving up, I stopped by the old hang out to visit, told my friends of my plight and decided to check the 7 Eleven there. Nada. On our way out, we decided to go to the Pathmark to check since it was on the way. SCORE! bought a bunch of them, couldn't even fit them in the pic. This is going to seriously cheer me up after the crap i been though this week.

“This is the best ice cream flavor I’ve ever had in my entire life!” exclaimed Jimmy Fallon as he unveiled his new Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor, Late Night Snack, a salty-sweet flavor that packs chocolate-covered Kettle potato chip clusters into vanilla ice cream with salty caramel ripples.

Power Balance

2011-01-04T07:33:00.003-05:00

In my opinion, it creates a so called fantasy, and is mind over matter. some people need that placebo effect just to get over a couple speed bumps in life. i wear one, i feel its like wearing those livestrong bands. i bet half those kids wearing livestrong band dont even know what it stands for. they just got one cuz their friends got one.

all in the mind? sounds like the basis of religion. and scientists have been countering with evolution forever. you can only make religion so tangible, its called faith, so are these people suckers too?

As a 'scientific' person, i already knew these bands are based on applied kinesiology, but i still got one/all colors. for those of you not familiar with applied kinesiology, its like the light gun from duck hunt. did you really think you were shooting the screen? its the other way around, and if you were fooled, you might as well jump on the band wagon. but did you care? you had fun shooting those ducks and laughing with that dog.

Or another example is magic card tricks where you eventually pick a card of several and the last remaining card happens to be yours, but you were asked to pick a card, not pick a card to keep/take away, and based on your selection, the magician made that said choice, and obviously left your card there for you to be amazed. and people still go see magic shows.

It's about the mental security it can bring. the world has haters. who cares.
-Drive a prius? im sure you had your reasons.
-get whipped easily? thats your choice
-Take enzyte? we all know where that ended up.
-got a pet rock? you must be lazy or smart.
-drink water? its all you need to survive, why bother eating.
-hate your job? ask your coworkers. and you there for some reason or another, otherwise you would do something about it
-part of a pyrimid scheme? ask the ones that deny you what they think of that.
-do you really think everyone approves of your spouse/significant other? do you care what the haters think of that if you settled or not.
-play the same numbers every time for lottery? statistically that won't make you win faster

its all opinion and choices. i support power balance. follow them on twitter @PowerBalance

Exxotica 2010

2010-12-29T03:27:00.000-05:00

Once again the Adult convention makes it to the Raritan Expo Center in Edison, NJ for the 3rd straight year despite some controversy. This time around in conjunction with the Xotic Autoshow, the collaboration has proved to be a huge success, bringing cars and girls together, for a spectacular show filled with on stage performances, workshops, vendors and exhibitions. Just the setup and morning prep was more than i could handle, sorry no vids of that. The after parties every night made for a nonstop sexy weekend, no video there either. I'm sure this union will happen again for another stellar repeat performance that gets bigger every year.

SHOPKICK = free money

2010-12-22T12:53:00.002-05:00

Everyone like reward programs. getting stuff for things you do anyways. credit cards do reward programs, where you spent X amount then get X amount back in some form. there are cash back programs too. either way, you get something for spending with a certain retailer. same with loyalty cards, shop there often, get stuff.

There is a new app called SHOPKICK where you don't have to spend to get rewarded with stuff. you don't even have to deal with advertising. The program is about checking into stores with your smartphone, racking up points, then turning them in for rewards with participating retailers. i use it and love it.

You get point by checking in (just open the app and click away at green bubbles), walking in (physically be in a participating store), or scanning items (i do this, its like a daily treasure hunt). then as you accumulate, there is a page (see pic) that lets you know what you can get. and its stuff i can use, like target gift certificates. for physical retailers, it breaks down to every 250 points is $1, and you can redeem in 5, 10, 15 or 25 dollar increments.

and every so often, if you don't even actively play, they have instant coupons per retailer you can use. one day there was a sports authority $10 instant cash for checking in. i used it 4 times, saving $40. and the same day i went to target to buy a video game and had enough points to save $25 on a video game. its really free money, except for the time invested to click away, but im always looking at my phone anyways.

so if you going to play on your android phone or iPhone, get the app, and for extra points use promo code:

my DIET

2010-12-20T01:09:00.000-05:00

*the following information is for entertainment only and is only applicable to myself. do not try this at home.

Diet, by definition provided by Merriam Webster is

a : food and drink regularly provided or consumed

b : habitual nourishmentc : the kind and amount of food prescribed for a person or animal for a special reason

: something provided or experienced repeatedly

So after all the splaining, i decided to compile them all into a blog entry that can be referred to, so that it would save everyone some time and confusion. Everyone is different and so is my diet. It was specially formulated for my active lifestyle and metabolism. People are wondering how this is, based on my pictures of food. Some might say that its unhealthy. Unhealthy is a relative term, after all, one mans trash......

Some time ago, i decided to take pics of my food. its a trend. and i think taking pics of food is easier than taking pics of friends, cuz food wont cower at the site of the focus light, or say 'tag me' or ask me to take it down. That is why there is 6 albums of 200 pics of food. looking at my pics, you can tell that it went from friendcentric photos to culinary wonders. the wonder is, how am i alive? seeing all the food pics is deceiving cuz you don't see pics of any exercise and i eat at all times of the night and what seems to be anything i want. but in actuality, i have certain foods i must have and those i must not. again, formulated for my metabolism and lifestyle.

According to the definition above, my food album is clearly a diet. My diet is regularly consumed, habitually, prescribed, and repeated. I would never recommend it to anyone because things differ for everyone. Diet is a regimen, not a weight loss regimen. Its like asking 'where did you come from?' i can answer philippines, edison, dinner, home, or just point in a random direction.

Why not fat you ask? I do exercise. Im not eating all the time. I've finished P90x. i cant count how many people i know that have tried to do P90x and quit after a week. I completed it without missing a day. I did the physical part of the program, and did not follow the diet at all. had i done the nutritional part, my results would have been tenfold. but i wasn't going to punish myself, so i just ate what i want. I also take fat burner pills. nothing as serious as hydroxycut, just a little something something. My metabolism has slowed down in recent years, so over the summer i did one cycle of P90x, then i spent long hours at the park jogging, biking on trails and playing basketball. I feel my metabolism is key to everything, fortunately it is how it is. i don't smoke, gives you finger cancer. i don't drink, tastes bad and don't want a beer belly. so i eat.

How can you eat so much? When you look at my pics, its overwhelming, but anyone that has dined with me will notice, i don't eat all my food. I've adopted a modified small portion diet. don't eat all the food and it wont count. eat the rest later. 6 meals a day. diet between meals. instead of a full plate of bacon at the buffet, get 10 plates of 4 strips at a time, and sit far, walking is exercise. its all in the mind. just like powerbalance.com and religion.

why do you eat so many times? small portions. 6 meals a day. 3 regular scheduled meals, and a meal instead of 2 hours of sleep. replacing sleep with food not only makes the burning of calories round the clock, but gives you more time in the day to be more productive. once again, this is not for every lifestyle. and if you are still reading this, you are as crazy as i am.

there are limits, and consequences. currently my diet is: 6 meals a day, of which sonic not more than 3 times a day, 10 wings every other day, cut the soda, lots of water, unless its sonic cremeslush, don't eat at least 4 hours before long sleep, take powernaps often, and leftovers do not count for meal allotment or as pre-sleep food. and i have bags under my eyes which i hide with my non-prescription glasses.

wont you die? eventually, but went to the doctor, and both cholesterols were in good range, blood pressure good, and clean bill of health. this is my diet, i would never right a book for people to follow, its highly unorthodox and makes no sense. and i wont have to worry about haters or be liable for any damages. again, dont try this at home.

the end result is what it is. it works for me. if the only concern is the end result, weigh out the options, get priorities straight, and just do it. its like studying. if all you care about is the time invested to get knowledge, then instead of wasting 6 hours of studying before the test, study after the test so you know EXACTLY what to study. worked for me, but i got good grades anyways.

Best things in life are free. (HBD to me!)

2010-12-07T00:05:00.000-05:00

Texts are free. And this one text was a result of crafty ingenuity with so much buildup. The text was a HBD text from my best friend. The build up was after month of dodging my texts where i ask him every day if we getting together after work to no reply (see attached images) and making me think he got a new number, he send me HBD through a facebook third party app, and i text him if he would be around to celebrate my birthday, and he texted back with HBD! Its the best text ever! side note: i did make a small monetary gain of 200 from several people when I won the over/under of days in a row id get no reply, but i never told these guys that i knew that my man would never let my bday go by, sorry i rigged it, but you all took the sucker bet. You see, to most of you, a facebook wall HBD from your bestie is as impersonal as it gets and this and that, and using a third party app is even worse especially for someone close, but for me and him its different. A epic friendship that has marinated for 18 years through thick and thin, ill take what i can get. And he planned this so cunningly for months, you cant make this stuff up. I wouldn't be surprised if he really wasn't working and had some surprise party all planned out for me. He has always been so thoughtful. Even voted as the nicest guy on a FB app. You dont come across that many top notch guys nowadays, I am the lucky one.

He has been the only constant in my life. Happy Birthday to me!

Black Friday Experience 2010

2010-11-27T09:37:00.000-05:00

As a seasoned line waiter, I knew what to expect, I knew what to do. Those that know me, know I'm somewhat prepared so its never an issue. But for most of the people there, not the case. How can you get onto a line, knowing that they open at 5 am, and your in for a 10+ hour wait with nothing. Let me tell you how i roll. Its cold so i dress the part with layers, hat, mask, gloves, and boots. I'm chillin under a 10 x 10 canopy cuz it was raining for most of the night, with a huge circle chair, a lounge chair with pop up leg rest, and large captains chair. I got a table, food and drink, propane ceramic heater, and power source to charge our phones. I'm trying to be comfortable for the long wait. When I see someone walking towards the line, while its raining, without an umbrella at least, they don't stay on the line very long. When they walk up, not dressed for the cold, or without a chair, you know that they are noobs.

There are some unwritten rules to line waiting, and some line etiquette. Obviously no cutting. People that get in line early are there for a reason, and will count the people in front cuz of the limited quantities. So anything after 20th in line is pointless for a Best Buy wait, at that point your just waiting to get in the store, not waiting to get the incredible savings, you'll just get the common sale stuff. If you leave the line for extended periods of time, your not guaranteed a spot. And trying to jump in front of the line at 4 am will cause a riot because those first 20 people in line are on a mission, have bonded for 10+ hours, and will say something.

Best Buy has measures to keep things a bit orderly. They do set up some sort of barricade to the entrance. They have a police presence too. At an undisclosed time they hand out raffle tickets to people in line and you cant get in without this tickets. Then the door buster items have papers for each item. If a certain doorbuster has 5 in store, then the 5 papers will go to the first 5 people, if one of them passes on it, then number 6 got lucky.

I hope this info was helpful in planning your next line waiting trip. Roll with me and you'll be fine. And don't do anything stupid, cuz if you get kicked out of line, you wasted your time and chances.

BLACK FRIDAY 2010
The plan was to wait in line for a long time for the door buster items. For those of you that don't know, these are the items usually featured on the front page of the circular, and are in very limited quantities per store. It is the first few people in line that get these items at a relatively deep discount. This door buster offer is a retailer's way of getting people to their store in multiple ways. One it gets people that know about it in line early, these are the crazy people. Second, for people clueless about how ads work, it gets them into the store, regardless of time or when they show up, thinking that they can get this deal when they get to the store, but when they realize that they fail in life, they are in the store, and thats was the goal of the retailer. Its not false advertising cuz if you look at the small print, it says something like, 'limited quantities' or 'minimum 5 per store'.
In my opinion, this years items were not great, and not really worth a long wait if i was just there to save money. Previous years, I've jumped on a Best Buy line for Black Friday wednesday night after closing for a friday 5 am opening. This year i planned to go with some friends around 11 am thurs. Yes, we miss Thanksgiving, but whatever, I eat like its Thanksgiving everyday anyways. I would never do such things alone, so participating in line waits with friends makes it worth it. I mean, we would hang out all hours of the night anyways, so why not with a purpose for once.
Thursday morning, my cohorts didn't text me, and I basically called it off for myself because I really didn't have anything I wanted to get for myself, so i figured it would be a quiet Thanksgiving since my best friend had plans already so there goes our Thanksgiving tradition together. Around 1 PM I did a drive by at Best Buy to see how bad it was. To my surprise there was nobody there! I went home and watched TV. Then one of my friends finally woke up and FB messaged me if I was still down. I had no plans, so why not. Packed up and met there in an hour. The duration was of our stay started at 330 pm thursday.
I parked, set up my tent, as i set up my tent, one guy was behind me, and an indian guy lined up after him. It was raining and this indian guy sat under my tent so i kicked him out. He technically cut the dude behind me. Plus this guy was not prepared. No socks and stuff. Asked him if it was his first time, it was. He was passing by and saw the line. He did have a chair and umbrella in the car. Then he left the chair, and went home to get layers. came back hour later. more people showed up. I was sitting pretty in my VIP area with 6 others. We were the loud rowdy bunch so I don't think anyone was going to bother us. And if anyone was going to try to cut the line, they were going to hear it from my linebackers.
We engaged in conversation and jokes all night. Ordered Papa John's, brought our own food and snacks. Tossed a football around. It was a great time and time flew by. About 1 am, the police were hand out the red raffle tickets to ensure entry to people in line. Indian dude was not in line. Being the nice person I am, I got the Best Buy guy to hold his ticket, while i go out of my way in the rain, to go see if i can find him in his car in the parking lot, maybe he was sleeping. I didn't find him. Best buy guy came back and hour later saying he had 10 minutes to show up or loses his place, and took his chair out of line. Indian dude shows up and hour and a half after tickets were given out, and had words with the cop and staff. But his words were more like crying, and how he was here since 330 (he was, but he was out of line more than in line) and how he left for 30 minutes to go home for '2 number' and how he will disgrace is family if he doesn't get these batteries on sale or something. He left, I told him I tried, sucks for him. At least he learned for next year.
Best Buy decided to open the doors to the first 50 at 4am, gather our stuff and then registers open at 5 am. Then they let in 50 at a time in 30 min intervals. Being 6th in line, I had an hour to get my stuff without the crowd, paid and left.
The one thing i noticed is the stupid questions. People drive by, 'what are they giving away?', 'what are you in line for?', 'what time do they open?', 'how long have you been in line?'. You see it on the news, and you obviously know its black friday, I mean you are driving by a retail store front. And if you are not in line by now, if you ask what time they giving out tickets, why bother, you establish you know about tickets, so I'll assume you know they are limited quantity, and if your jump on the end of the line now..... do you think you'll get a ticket? and the best is the people that line up at the exit at 4 am thinking that they are first in line.

Paranormal Activity 2 'Same crap now with baby!'

2010-11-02T23:48:00.000-05:00

Here we go again. I saw this even though i said i wasn't going to based on the last experience, but since 11 others were going, I'm not going to be THAT guy. The immediate tweet after the movie was "PA2 definitely slightly better cuz I greatly lowered my expectations exponentially. A must see if nothing else is on". This time around I tried my best to keep an open mind, tried not to listen to the hype, so that I wouldn't expect much. So if your idea of scary is silent suspense with a loud noise, then this will be great about 5 times. Id have to classify the PA movies as super suspense, cuz there is an extraordinary amount of build up with sparce release. But definitlely more than the first. PA is not for you if you like action, guns, gore, or moneys worth. I can give you a better effect if i put you in a dark room, told you to close your eyes, wait for me to scare you, i then go out to eat while you anticipate me doing something, and when i return, walk loud, kick the door in for a loud noise, hold out my hand for 10 buck, would you give it to me? thats why id collect beforehand too. I wouldnt be surprised if the money made on ticket sales against the production cost reflected that the movie soundtrack would bring in lots of revenue from bandwagoning sukkas too. each 'scary' would be silent or with footsteps, till a loud noise at the end. And anyone that knows me, knows i'm the first one to be scared about anything and everything. My opinion should be taken with a grain of salt cuz after all, i did enjoy super hero movie according to my friends, and i do like McD. Third times a charm in this case. They got to milk it while they still can. Maybe I am one of those people that 'Have good taste in bad things' that I'm always making fun of.......

had to make a video for my rant, this is all i came up with. For a sequel, add a baby, pool scene, some dragging clips, a couple scenes of awkward silent suspense with strategically placed footstep sounds, followed by a predictable loud noise and you have PA2.

iPhone accessorize!

2010-10-20T20:43:00.003-05:00

After numerous configurations and wasted money, I end up with this. The case is the INCASE smoked snap case, selected for slim factor, and definitely not protection. This case is perfect for the not pictured, in car mount by nokia. It is a ratcheting pinch type of mount with no bottom holder, which I never liked. To complement the incar mounting solution is a audio jack cord, and the AT&T iPhone coiled charger with USB port that holds a retractable mini USB cord with mini to micro adapter to simultaneously charge my bluetooth headset in 5 colors. Then I purchased the phone charm mount from AccessoryGeeks. It uses a strong adhesive that i trust with the weight of the phone and light twirling. The strap is from a previous SONY phone. The charm attached is custom made. Bought the vial and cap from a online vendor, the same type you find when you get your name on a grain of rice. the loop is taken off another charm. And the vial is filled with 99.9% reagent grade Mercury. What else would I put in there.

COMIC CON NY the cosplayers October 8-10, 2010

2010-10-14T23:37:00.001-05:00

VIDEO

"So much to do, so little time." That is how I would describe this weekend. A 3 day event in the heart of NY at the Jacob Javits Center filled with exhibitions, vendors, video games, celebrities, and not to forget, the fans that came dressed up. This was an amazing event bringing together COMICON and ANIME under one giant roof. I was not able to see half of the convention because it covered so much ground, so I just went around for the fan participation. This is what i saw as I walked around.

It was just quite the experience for me, the merchandising, the mass amounts of people in attendance, and the costumes were amazing. It felt like Halloween. The costumes were ranging from Comic themed, to Anime characters, to Video Game icons. There were some off the wall costumes that had no place at a comic book / amine convention, but I guess in the spirit of dressing up, it doesn't matter. Everyone had a great time.

HAIL!

2010-10-11T20:49:00.000-05:00

This is the first time i saw hail. There was a precursor of rain, then it got loud. I looked out the door and saw hail. It was quite a site for me, and I ran out of a restaurant to check it out. I stood in it letting it hit me on the head, and it hurts. Reminds me of the time i was running in the park and supposedly a squirrel with good aim clocked me in the head with an acorn. But this was like a barrage of acorns. The hail storm didn't last very long, and my video is near the end of the storm cuz I was standing in it for the intense part and i didn't want to break my iPhone. I don't think if I ever come across a hailstorm again that i will stand where I can get hit.

I'll have some NIM to go. QR code up and running.

My first iPhone4 video

2010-09-23T23:47:00.004-05:00

This is my first video with my iPhone4. The HD is very sufficient for in pocket recording. This collaboration was pretty cool because it was all apple. You can see the two macs in the video, which were used to play a loop of the music while the 4 people thought of their lyrics. And Kat wrote her lyrics on the white mac, mike on the black mac, reg on the iPhone4, ray on the newest iTouch and I recorded it with my iPhone4.

Hello iPhone4.

2010-09-11T17:28:00.001-05:00

So i got the iPhone 4 and am so excited. After being a Sony fan for so long, making the switch was hard. After playing with the iPhone and trying to set up things and get back into normal mode, I feel I will be missing alot, but gaining more. Some of the things I will miss is stuff like custom ringtones and textones. Every one knows that if you wanted a ringtone, I was there with it already and it was a matter of texting or bluetooth it to you. that too is gone. No bluetooth file transfer. I haven't played around long enough, but I feel like pictures will be in one folder. When it came to phone usage, I was very picture/audio centric.
But with loss, will come much gain. I will definitely turn appcentric. I had a 1st gen touch I was using all the time for games. It was a practice unit, just to play that game at BWW. Then the app store got me. So the switch was destined to be. HD video recording is a plus, but I have yet to fully utilize it. The camera was a major selling point too. I'd see my friend Reggie posting pics with all these cool effects and thats what I wanted. Too bad its an app and not stock on the iPhone. Had the iPhone not come with a flash, I dont think I'd own one.
Not to mention i lost my annoying voice mail message where i say 'i can not come to the phone, please leave a message' in 7 languages. Plus my FU button app that i relied on so much where if i dont answer it goes to voicemail, but if i press end i have it forwarded to a nonexisting number. but im sure i can find one in the app store.
So overall, I'm excited for the gaming and not carrying 2 devices. This might make me switch to a Mac. Ppl have told me to switch since I like to make vids. but that is something for the future.

Flair Bartending

2010-08-29T05:28:00.000-05:00

One of my friends participated in a flair bartending competition, so I made a video. I think I'm going to start doing this for fun. And I will probably be great at it. Its gonna be one of those things again, where I'll be good at something, yet not all in. I'll know how to flair, but i dont drink. just like i can blow smoke circles, but dont smoke. i can dive, but cant swim. etc etc.

Feeding of water foul prohibited.

2010-08-28T12:11:00.002-05:00

So I'm watching this indian lady feed the ducks, the thing that got me was the ducks came over to check it out and they all bounced. So she ended up getting a ticket for littering instead cuz I showed the park ranger this video. I saved her some money. My good deed of the month.

New Image Motorsports @ HIN/NOPI NY July 25, 2010

2010-08-25T20:17:00.000-05:00

When you get used to a flow, sometimes you overlook the details. That was the factor that caused a unNIMlike performance in the results for the weekend of HIN/NOPI NY. Held at Englishtown, NJ, the usual show practice is top 100 Sat, and fully judged Sun. NIM shows up Sunday with what could have been best team quality, plus at least 5 other awards. Since the rules were different this time at a normal NIM venue, the standings were compromised. Turns out for this specific show, cars were to be there both Saturday and Sunday to be eligible for any top honors, and there was a lesser achievement to bring home if you were there just one day. With the details of awards being overlooked, NIM came up with this.....

Maria Rosales was such a strong individual is so many ways. She gave birth to 7 children where nowadays people cant handle one. and that comes with 58+ great grand-children. She came to this country to basically raise me and my sister while my parents worked hard. I owe her so much, and there is not enough thank yous to even come close. Raising me was a chore, but she was strong enough to put up with me. She was always telling me what to do, but that's how she was. Telling me to come home early or the gypsys will get me, that she did not see me take a shower, and be careful i might make babies. She would always ask me when am I getting married. I'm sorry she didn't get to see that day. 98 years strong, she really was, up until the last few months, she was up on her feet, doing something. As crook and broke her fingers were, she was still sewing something, or chopping stuff up to cook, even rolling lumpia. She would have dug her own grave if her body hadn't given up on her. That's how strong she is. I love you grandma.

from the last day i saw her, weeks after a stroke

before the stroke, she was rolling aboot

showing her bling

Many people came out to the funeral to show their respects. The mass went as expected, very emotional, filled with nice things said, and loving reminiscing. I too was not able to hold my composure several times. The plans for her remains is to be cremated and transported back to the Philippines to be next to her husband forever. Its a bittersweet honor to say I was the last to see her before cremation for I had to go to the crematory as a witness. As they were about to lift her up out the coffin into the cremation box, I closed my eyes so that my last memories of her is unhandled in the coffin. I will miss you very much grandma.

Fireworks

2010-07-05T18:50:00.005-05:00

Hope everyone had a safe fun time with fireworks. Here are some videos of the more major fireworks we had. These were purchased from Phantom Fireworks in PA. The place is nice and well organized. Upon entering I noticed a sign that prohibits residence of PA to even enter. My ID was checked at the door, and then got a 24 hour permit to transport any fireworks purchased on that date. And signed a waiver that these would not be set off in the state of PA. Have fun with any fireworks you have but remember safety first.

So since noone wanted to join me at Famous dave's for a comp dinner I went there to just pick up some food for myself. While I was there a family of 6 was there fighting over how much to order. I gave them my 75 dollar credit and wished them a happy dinner. Times are rough, I can sacrifice one meal with friends for a hungry family. MercTV

iPhone 4 a must have.

2010-06-10T21:49:00.007-05:00

So as it turns out, the one feature I was counting on not to be on the new iPhone4 so that I wouldn't buy it, is there. Can you guess what the deciding factor was that will make this lifelong, hardcore SONY ERICSSON jump ship? The total package that the iPhone4 offers is just too enticing that I must get one. So finally after 7 consecutive Sony phones, each ahead of the current US bland market phones (I was taking color JPGs in 92 with no way to get them off the phone, and had internet options), I'm getting an iPhone. Whats next? a MacBook?

edison town square

2010-05-09T16:56:00.004-05:00

The proposed structure for the old Ford plant site is said to include a lot of things already found not even a mile away from the site. Typical Jersey strip mall with a home improvement center, theater, wholesale club, hotel, and shopping boutiques. Seems like nothing new, but i'm sure at least it will provide necessary jobs and unnecessary traffic. Its novelty will wear off and then someone will decide that another typical jersey strip mall will be build probably right near another one.

there is an official website for the proposed site, its http://www.EdisonTowneSquare.com but you have to register.

Spring Nationals Englishtown, NJ May 2, 2010

2010-05-05T07:57:00.011-05:00

Nowadays with shows being spread far and thin, a show that comes around to the NIMTOUR's stomping ground is not going to go unattended. Showing 19 rides strong, that was more than enough to qualify and then some for the team title. In their own backyard the NIMTOUR2010 take home the coveted title along with 13 other distinctive hardware titles. Anyone who is is the show scene will tell you that a show is hard work and long hours but you could hardly tell with this group. Every show, they seem to have a blast and such a great time before, during, and after a show. The NIMTOUR is a year round party, but don't get it twisted, this team is focused and been had for the past 10 years and going. Be sure to be on the lookout for more of this team at a show in your area. Always a big thanks you to friends and family and support from the likes of Grafx, ESR and TSL and all affiliates.

HOT IMPORT NIGHTS

And that's why you dont wear sunglasses indoors...

2010-03-09T04:58:00.003-05:00

Its like that song that goes 'I wear my sunglasses at night', come on, you think your cool, but you look a fool. So when you wear sunglasses indoors, and at night, your an idiot for compounding 2 things against you for the sake of 'looking cool'. the majority of people around you will not think you are cool. Its like wearing shorts in the winter, you are not impressing anyone.

For gods sake, the other day I saw this guy shooting pool with shades on at night. Either he just bought them and decided to wear them out, or maybe he is epileptic and the flashing balls will make him seizure or he thought the pool hall is open til sunrise and was just being overprepared. What a toolbag.

tell you what, ill drive you home, but first let me get drunk, break both my ankles and wear a blindfold. And then pointlessly rev my engine at others to waste the high priced gas but foolishly achieve that 'look at me! look at me!' status. R U ImPrEzEd??? I'm just hating right now. Is that so wrong. I'm in need of attention. Will i get that attention if i told you i wrote this wearing sunglasses.

LOL. http://www.flexispy.com/ back in the day, before paid software, but after that 3 way calling trap, people would plug in a handsfree ear piece (now you can use a bluetooth), set phone on auto answer, turn off the ringer, then plant the phone in a key location like in the car, or in the bedroom. then when the time is right, call that phone, and voila!... instant bug. now with new tech, you can remotely use someones phone. paranoia. thats why i dont let my phone out of my sight. same reason you dont leave your drink unattended at a bar. blowing up spots, ya heard.

im just sayin', hit me up for the 30% promo code on this.

SPOTTED: The Punisher

2010-01-27T21:25:00.007-05:00

The NIMTOUR has been a success for sometime now. Hard work and countless hours invested proved favorable for the team. Another aspect of the scene, and one of our unsung heroes, is our very own Rich Ruiz of Exotic Carriers. Rich and his '01 Kentworth W900L has been counted upon time and time again to transport the NIM prized possessions coast to coast, and has been New Image for some time. He attends the major trucking events and kills the competition in many categories. His truck has even transported and competed for the same event, taking home multiple trophies at events like HIN Minnesota and Texas. Without Rich, there wouldn't be that NIM presence west of the Mississippi. He gets his recognition, and his exposure can be seen on an episode of Speed channel's HIN Minneapolis, and in 10-4 magazine as cover and centerfold. Congrats and thanks to Rich for being a big part of the NIMTOUR.

InitialD 4

2010-01-19T20:07:00.003-05:00

So I've been playing the Initial D simulator game at CEC in Edison for some time. At first it gave me a headache, but then the experience became well worth it. The only downside of the local machine is that there is no card reader and you cant shift.
Now theres this! InitialD 4. Everything the other one was supposed to be, plus you get to open a door, look over at your head to head opponent. This is the best experience ever! I'm going to go broke.....

Going into 2010

I know I missed xmas this year, but for this new year i have a present for everyone out there. You aren't here to see it, but with faith, you can see this box i have for you. This gift for you is a magic box. i ask you to wish for what is inside, not for yourself but for someone else, because all i see is the good in all of you and i know you will wish something good. and even if ill willed, its your wish and defines you. believe in possibilities, in yourself, cuz i believe in you. feel better about yourself, about your lives, not just about being alive. I'm not gone, I'm always around, reminding you life is not a box, but a box filled with hope and faith, and most of all magic. do this for yourselves, for your neighbors, because I can't. I hope I got to see everyone of you this new year.

Happy Thanksgiving 09

2009-11-26T08:00:00.005-05:00

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there. I know I have a lot to be thankful for, which is soooo true but with the year I've had, the cons have outweighed the pros this time. So 2009 is going out with regret and wishful thinking to close out the year. Going in to December is going to be painful and full of trying times. The ppl that matter get overlooked and the ones i try to hold onto move on. But making the best of it is what life is about.
Each of us is stuck being who we are. Sometimes we fight to change ourselves, but
ultimately this has little effect. We can change what we do, but we cannot change who we are. If you're a happy person, you don't feel trapped. If you're surrounded by people who you love and who love you, if you can do what you want to do in life, if you are at peace with who you are, why would you ever feel trapped? You wouldn't want to change yourself, you wouldn't need to try.
I am not a happy person. Maybe you're not either. Maybe you're too fat, or too thin, too old, or too young. Maybe you're ugly and nobody wants to sleep with you. Maybe everyone wants to sleep with you, but nobody loves you and it's all meaningless. Maybe your body is fucked up and you're in pain all the time. Maybe your mind is fucked up and you're in pain all the time.
I don't know how common this is, but for me, the main problem is that I feel
disconnected from everyone and everything. I have a few people out there who I care about, or who care about me, but no real intimacy with anyone. Worse yet, this is a long term pattern with me, it's been going on for enough years yet that it's quite possible I will be alone for the rest of my life. I try to connect with people, but either I'm to shy or I have nothing to offer. I would like to have friends I could be truly close to, someone that I could be in love with, but I'm psychologically fucked up enough that I don't know how to make this happen.
I like to think that if I had love and intimacy in my life, life wouldn't suck nearly as much. And hell, I think I've reached the point where I'm jealous of everyone. Is there any way to have meaning in your life when you're disconnected from everyone?
I don't think so.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I'd reach out to all by some sort of social network or text but I would be trying too hard, and the ones I want to hear from won't remember. Grass is greener... you dont know what you have... and anything else cliche that fits here. Eat alot, make sure you can make it to work on Monday cuz at least your needed there. Give thanks for what you have, cuz there is always someone out there with less. And win lots of money from football pools and bets to donate to those salvation army things.

FARMVILLE!

2009-10-18T09:41:00.005-05:00

If your not on Facebook's Farmville, maybe you shouldn't. Its addicting and can consume alot of time if you care about it. For me its the perfect venue to kill time, since i dont really sleep, i can tend to my farm. I even make pictures cuz i got bored and sacrificed money making crop area to make my 'crop circles'. A friend of mine, Jen, even made a school project out of the effects of Farmville and used some of my creations to display on her site. This can be viewed HERE.

Paranormal Activity

2009-10-17T08:45:00.006-05:00

I am so hating on this movie. If it was supposed to be the best scary movie, then people must have a different definition of scary or I'm Mr. Macho. There were scary scenes, but it was like 3, that you can find basically in any youtubed trailer for that movie. So just watch the trailer and save your $10 for 10 bacon junior cheese burgers.

The movie opens up with 120 minutes of talk and nothing happening. Then its ruined even more with the night scenes where when there is hours of nothing happening, the counter on the camera is in fast forward, so you know when it resumes to normal speed, 'something' is going to happen. Way to kill the suspense. Then a few scenes of 'scary' and by the time the movie picks up, it ends. And end with nothing. Not even credits. Now if they added stuff after the blank screen where the credits was supposed to be, then maybe they could have made even more money from the people that left too early and wanted to check it out. Then that would have been good marketing. but still people felt compelled to go again. Even maybe some short scenes or video after like they did in 'Hangover' to keep people gasping.

If this was based on true events, then those people haunted had a rookie ghost that wasnt good at his job. Or, if it was based on true events, then i wish it wasnt and they made a faker story so they can add to it so you can get your moneys worth. The trailer is seriously sufficient. Unless your are that scared then i guess. But driving in NJ is seriously scarier than this movie.

I dont have enough thumbs to point down, and maybe i'm hating, but its my opinion and im sure others didnt enjoy it. But if you like it, then cool, your scared and cant sleep. Just don't be closed minded to others opinions. After all, I feel like I am the only one that liked 'Super Hero Movie'.

Trichotillomania

2009-10-07T05:03:00.002-05:00

For the past 2 weeks, so much has happened, that my Trichotillomania has returned, and had progressed into localized compulsive behavior. the physical result is multiple open wounds (current count-9)in my scalp that i hide with my length of hair and a hat. I can no longer shave my head cuz of this recent self mutilation. i am not proud, i have a problem, ask and i will show you because my humility will help cure me. That is also why i am blogging about it. This is how i hate myself. I hope it doesnt get worse. I'm grateful for the friends i still have to help me through my self inflicted trauma.

Winding down to the end of the season, things can get out of hand. But for this team, putting thing aside and showing everyone why they are such a great team is not a problem. After all is said and done, the NIMTOUR still proves themselves time and time again. As with any club, organization, or team of any kind, working as a family means taking the good with the bad. Every family has their arguments issues and difference of opinions, but how you deal with them is key to what makes a tight knit comraderie, that is the backbone of greatness. Its what seperates the teams that break off, shut down, or dissolve from teams that have stood the test of time. As 2010 come around the corner, New Image is just going to get stronger...10 years strong and still counting. Not many can say that.

Please support JDRF and find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes

2009-09-17T22:14:00.004-05:00

Greetings!

I'm writing to you to ask for your support in a very special cause.

This year, I'll be taking part in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Walk to Cure Diabetes along with a half-million other walkers across the country. Our goal: To raise $105 million to help fund research for a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications.

Type 1, or juvenile, diabetes, is a devastating, often deadly disease that affects millions of people--a large and growing percentage of them children.

Many people think type 1 diabetes can be controlled by insulin. While insulin does keep people with type 1 diabetes alive, it is NOT a cure. Aside from the daily challenges of living with type 1 diabetes, there are many severe, often fatal, complications caused by the disease.

That's the bad news... and yes, it's pretty bad.

The good news, though, is that a cure for type 1 diabetes is within reach. In fact, JDRF funding and leadership is associated with most major scientific breakthroughs in type 1 diabetes research to date. And JDRF funds a major portion of all type 1 diabetes research worldwide, more than any other charity.

I'm writing to ask for your support because now more than ever, EACH of us can be a part of bringing about a cure. Each of us can make a real difference

Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as you're able?

Together, we can make the cure a reality.

Thank you,

Mercury

Please visit my Walk Web page if you would like to donate online or see how close I am to reaching my personal goal:

http://walk.jdrf.org/walker.cfm?id=87485949

Follow this link to make a donation:

http://walk.jdrf.org/support.cfm?id=87485949

And another decision, not as important as if you going to donate but how much, is what should i wear with our team shirt?

Should i go with the air stab, AM light, or 360 neo?

Importfest Toronto September 12, 2009

2009-09-15T21:27:00.005-05:00

When push comes to shove, being part of a quality team makes up for anything ill fate can throw into the mix. This is evident for this team for this weekend. After the broken down cars, popped vaccuum lines, hotel lobby fights, lost keys, getting lost in canada, being detained in customs on the way in, being detained at customs on the way out, the lack of judging for unfavorable results, and whatever else could have gone wrong would have. NIM kept a strong presence at the show and didn't let these obstacles phase them. Canada got a taste of what a great team is about. Rolling 10 deep including the debut of the wide body white lexus, the NIMTOUR09 crossed the border to make an impact on the show. Quoting the awards MC, 'New Image, you done yet?' NO. there's more to come. Just remember, there's no 'I' in team

Another local show, another strong show. The NIMTOUR09 is taking the last few shows for the season to another level. The F4 challenge recognizes the hard work and dedication that NIM has brought to the field and the industry as a whole. New Image came 11 strong to show what a well built team is all about. Rolling without a few of the NIM heavy hitters is not a problem for this team when the rest of the team can hold the fort down. 2 team awards and 14 individual award is a job well done. Season is coming to an end, and next stop is IMPORTFEST in toronto. Thanks to Etown, D1, Andy and the F4C for another great show.

And according to this video, it would be awesome if I find a girl named Silver so we can amalgamate. And random fact, Chlorine is a by product of Mercury and my dad wanted to call my sister Chlorine.

Flipcyde takes the GMA dance competition

My friends from Piscataway, NJ are part of a dance team and call themselves Flipcyde, were part of the Pinoy Dance Finals hosted by GMA and Western Union. The group for the contest was comprised of Melissa 'Sha' Sumallo, Adelle Hernandez, Jan-Wesley Hortillas, Jeff Pagdonsolan, Malcolm Blaze Little, Reubinedde Wa Boogie Malamug, and Tiffany Joy Ladiana. At the end of the night, they walked away with the $7000 first place prize. Congrats! And of course we had a BBQ after, as usual.

Hot midday then it let up to let our party on. NIM had a blast and it shows. Rolling 24 deep and still having a good time requires team work and it is seen at every show no doubt. NIM is definitely so much more than an organization, it is a family. Involving the kids makes for a great time and the kids definitely help represent the tour. You can not overlook children and joy they bring. Having a show right by the fair for the kids was a great addition. Not to mention the fair food. And for those that didn't get to go on the rides missed out on a good time. Thanks to Rico @ http://RIXMAG.com for having us. NIM had a blast. The NIMTOUR09 parties on and on....

Summer Slam NJ June 28, 2009

2009-06-28T21:28:00.002-05:00

Armed with tents to shelter and coolers of 'drinks', NIMTOUR09 came out to Englishtown, NJ for the annual SUMMER SLAM event. Parking for the team cars was segregated into classes, so we had to run back and forth to check on the cars and for the judges. But as many cars gave up and went home, the NIM cars migrated to the tents to congregate and have a good time. The venue was packed with many of the local clubs coming for the $1000 prize for deepest club. 'Who won the money?'...."NOT US!" But we did manage these....

Azevedo Motorsports Car Show June 6, 2009

2009-06-10T00:49:00.005-05:00

Doing back to back shows is hardcore. The NIMTOUR09 came out after a arduous day at HINPA the night before to come and support one of the teams good friend's, Rui Azevedo. It is his first show ever and of course New Image is going to show their love and support for the shop. Many of the team cars have been going to the shop and the shop cranks out our magazine cars one after another. As an integral part of the NIMTOUR's success, Azevedo Motorsports is always on our schedule. The day progressed as laid back as can be, with barbecuing, DJ providing music, the ice cream truck came thru all day, and just hanging out under the trees in the park. It was good to just relax and have a good time with the NIM family. For more information on Azevedo Motorsports visit http://www.AzevedoMotorsports.com or call 908.925.3157 to start your show stopping, high horsepower build.

HIN PA June 9, 2009

2009-06-09T21:35:00.004-05:00

Its like a suicide mission. NIMTOUR09 knew going into PA was going to be nothing but trees and farms, but the real surprise was the conditions of the venue. Parking pristine painted show cars on loose rock pavement with dust and debris is not the ideal conditions for a show, but they made the most of it and came out strong and in numbers. Situated past the main stage, NIMTOUR09 is easily recognized by branded shirts, NIMbar and hot cars. Don't get it mixed up, it was just the NEW IMAGE in the roped off section. So they made something out of the long day where the sun was beating down during the day and dust flying around the whole time. They made it a good time and the pics prove it. But they know that next time they coming pro, and by pro i mean keeping the area clean.

Let my guard down....

2009-06-01T17:38:00.004-05:00

When I first saw you,
I thought you were too good to be true,
The innocent look in your eyes,
Made me realize I loved you,
For weeks I am perfect to see if you saw me too,
You started coming around and I thought,
It must be too good to be true,
And it was,
Who ever thought some one like you could hurt me so bad, I saw you flirting with other things in life,
I didn't know what to do,
I love you,
We became more and I was so happy,
But one day you told me you didnt want to deal with this,
That very moment my heart shattered,
I cried like it was the first time i got hurt, this bad, it was,
But i wanted to reconcile,
you werent haveing it so i went home,
And that moment I cried a million tears,
I hope you are happy now,
I don't care about anything but us,
All because you get what you want,
Well now its my turn to wait,
my turn to hurt,
I turn to live my life just wishing for you,
I hope these words make your life, our life,
'I love you'

So i was driving and i saw this bus. It was interesting and to keep myself awake on my long drive i took a couple videos, edited it, added sound effects and published it to my blog all from the driver's seat. Thank god for mobile internet.

HIN Englishtown, NJ May 16, 2009

2009-05-18T14:00:00.010-05:00

The NIMTOUR09 makes another great turnout in HIN NJ bringing a good time and a couple of those trophy things. Despite the on and off drizzles and relentless pollen, NIM was able to make the roped off section the life of the show. Situated at the main entrance, the first thing you see when you come into HIN is the NIM party. DJ Yoshi kept the crowd coming over. Cyndi Tran had the crowd mesmerized. Branded giveaways were flying, NIM t-shirts, NIM sneaker bags, NIM towels, NIM glow sticks and even sham-wow had to come over with some product giveaways to get in on the action. There was even a congo line and bottles popping. It was a sea of gold foiled red shirted members having a blast. And the 21 NIM cars were cool.

Congrats to all the winners and the NIMTOUR. All the glitz and glamor would not be possible if it werent for the contributions and dedication of those like

NIMTOUR09 goes to HIN Boston, crazy rain, but NIM is just as crazy. That doesn't stop the 5 cars that take the trip to come home with 12 trophies plus best team overall. Its just a taste of what is coming when NIM brings it to the home court at HIN e-town.

Atlantic City trip anyone?

2009-05-10T10:20:00.008-05:00

*NEW SCHEDULE* So if you want to take a trip to Atlantic City for 6 hours then this is the way to go. For $35, you get a round trip bus ticket from Oak Tree road. And when you get to the casino you get back 20 to 30 depending on casino. So if you want to either come after work to be back in the morn, walk the boardwalk, check out the outlets, or go to the 'beach', this is the way. Let me know.

Twouble with Twitters: SuperNews!

2009-05-06T21:23:00.003-05:00

Twitter seems to be blowing up to crazy proportions. I got one. And like the guy in the video, i too was updating everything as it was happening, by text. Then I set it up that the text i send to update my twitter, also updates my status on my facebook, and then my twitter widget on my blog is also updated. I hope the swine flu doesnt catch on like this.

Allergies

2009-04-29T03:19:00.005-05:00

I have allergies. It sucks. Those of you that have it know what i'm talking about. My eyes get itchy and red. I sneeze multiple times in a row. The sneezing causes pains in my veins like they been stretched. I can't drive with the windows open. And i wash my hands obsessively. It seems medications don't work on me. I dislike this season.
