Happy Anniversary to Me

Well, today marked 5 years since I've started working. And what have I gotten for all my hard labor? I'm out of shape, I'm losing my hair, I've lost my eyesight, I'm underpaid, and my back always hurts...Working BLLLOOOWWSSS!!!

Family Guy

What a great show. I love it...it's so random and ridiculous that it makes me laugh out loud. I love how they reference movies that I grew up watching...today they referenced the fight scene in Return of the Jedi where Luke fights that giant monster and kills it by shutting the spiky gate down on its ugly head.

I Can See!

Well, 5 years of working in front of a damn computer has killed my eyes enough to a point where I've had to get glasses. I just got them today...but I must say I'm really glad. I can actually see stuff! All this detail that I forgot existed is once again visible!

Thank God for science and optomologists...

What are you thankful for?

Rambo

So, I should've posted this up months ago, but I've been in a huge lazy spell.

Obviously, I saw Rambo in the theaters and I loved it. This movie was pure action through and through. I really liked it because I think too many action films these days rely on flashy special effects and complicated story lines to drive them...but sometimes I just want to see something very simple...something where I don't have to think much. That's what this movie brought me and I loved it. And at the same time, I learned something about Burma...it's a F**ked up place and I'm soooo glad we have basic human rights.

I think Sly and his crew did a great job with this film because it delivered where it was supposed to deliver. The action was incredible, the sound effects were insane, the story was believable, and I didn't yawn once while watching it.

MacBook Pro and the Craigslist Scam

Sounds like a Harry Potter book.

I've been interested in purchasing a MacBook Pro recently. I went on craigslist and I found some REALLY good deals. Flag # 1. I sent an email to one dude, located in Washington DC. I asked a few basic questions like What's included, why are you selling it, etc. I got an email back from the guy but he didn't answer my questions and he said he's located in Manchester UK now. But I continued to stay interested...I sent another email asking him the same questions from before and asking him what is his idea to take care of the transaction since he's overseas. He responded but again didn't answer all of my questions. He suggested that we use this service called TNT to facilitate the transaction. I checked it out and it seemed legitimate but kind of complicated...so I poked around a bit and typed a google search of "TNT craigslist" and found that there are all kinds of scams associated with this thing...specifically with MacBook Pros.

BEWARE all you craigslist shoppers...don't get scammed! Be smart!

It has been a While

It has been a while. I've been in hibernation. I'm going to make an attempt at getting back into the blogging thing. I figured I should change my blogspot URL while I'm at it...maybe give me a little motivization...
