Seriously this may be the greatest device ever. Now I am not a big tech guy. I instead choose to be friends with a guy who is a huge tech guy and I just sit back and reep the external benefits from him purchasing the latest and greatest. I have no idea why this guy is friends with me. Seriously what do I bring to the table. I am now lost when my computer will not work. Anyways, I got the iPhone before he did and he was so disturbed by the idea of my having the new toy before him that he went out and bought one. Yes Brett I know that is the only reason you did. No denying it.

The only reason I got one is because I have the greatest boss in the world. Well since getting it, I cannot put the thing down. Everything you want, it can do. I never understood why someone would need it until I got one. I think if i find the right button it might wipe my butt for me. I will keep you updated. Anyways, if you are thinking of buying an iphone do it. Well worth the money.

So I go to pay my Best Buy bill this month.. and this is my first payment, just got the card. I noticed on their website that if your are 2 days early on your bill, it won’t process in time so it would be late. BUT! You can do the speed processing but that’s an extra 15 dollar service fee. How is this even legal? Charging someone for making making a payment on the day it’s due.. Not sure it costs the company anymore money to have the payment authorized that much faster.

Credit Cards are the biggest joke.. the only reason I have any are to buy things then just pay them off the next day.. in hopes to build up some credit. Not sure if that works exactly but oh well. I probably shouldn’t have a Best Buy card anyways.

So I will admit that I was a little excited to sit down and watch the debut of American Gladiators last night. I remember watching them all the time as a kid and thought the look and previews of the new show would be pretty sweet. Man was I wrong. I don’t even know where to begin with how horrible it was to watch. First there was probably 20 minutes total of actual challenges in a 2 hour segment. Then the Gladiators were probably the biggest tools I’ve seen. They act like a 3rd stringer that makes a tackle on special teams in the 4th quarter when their team is down by 40 points. Pretty pathetic.

Not saying I could hold my own against the Gladiators but the contestants made them look like fools more often then they made the contestants look like fools. One instance was during the joust, the Gladiator lost both times because his roided up body couldn’t balance and he stepped over on the other platform both times. The last time the contestant was cheering because he one and the douche bag just pushed the contestant into the water, then talked trash. I seriously think they just went to the local Lifestyles Fitness Gym and gathered up all the dudes they saw staring in the mirror calling themselves pussy’s. (Sorry for the vulgar language, but it’s based on a true story. Leeks has my back on that one.)

I used to be a big fan of the old school Gladiators but I doubt I’ll be wasting another hour of my life watching that.

I have been looking for posters to put up in the office for awhile. I was specifically interested in the ISO50 posters and was looking around for them for awhile. The other day I was dropping Tommy off at this detailing shop when right next door I notice these posters. They had boxes and boxes full of them, the exact same ones I was looking for. I immediately got out of the truck and took a look. Apparently, tucked away between a detailing shop and a auto repair shop is a place called Merchline.

Merchline specializes in online store fronts for bands, artists, etc.. They had all of the ISO50 prints right there. They also had hundreds and hundreds of t-shirts, stickers, hats, cds.. anything and everything. We talked for the guys running the place and they were awesome. There are only three of them that do all of the online orders, packaging, shipping, inventory, updating.. everything for the sites. They have a huge list of clients. I definitely recommend checking them out.

I just posted some photos to my Flickr Account.. They are picture taken on our little trip up to Orlando to check out the Ikea store. We walked out with a bunch of stuff for the house and saved a butt load too. I can’t believe how inexpensive that store was. It was kind of a pain to have to put everything together but it was really easy. I also got a couple new monitors this past weekend. I finally upgraded to a 23″ monitor to help out with all of the design work that has been flowing in. When I first got it, it had a dead pixel right in the middle of the screen. Luckily the people at the Apple store were awesome enough to swap it out for me. Gotta love great customer service.

Anyways hope you enjoy the pictures. More will come. Well don’t count on that though cause the time between this batch and the last one was around 6 months.. so don’t get your hopes up.

So apparently the “Devil” in Devil Rays has been sneaking into little kids rooms and eating them, so the organization has now been forced to change their names to Tampa Bay Rays. Wow that rhymes. Sound pretty good. Umm maybe not. How about we change every teams name to something that rhymes. Seriously say the new name three times fast. You feel that a complete idiot. Man I hate rooting for this team and living in this town. Worst baseball town ever. All people do is complain about the team complaint about the park etc etc. The organization is not much better and to prove their point they did this. And also they are talking about wanting to build a new stadium funded by tax payers. Ha, just a ploy to get to move the franchise. Hey Tampa Bay area. Growing up I had to drive almost two hours to go to a Twins game. Tampa fans complain about have to drive an extra 30 miles to go to a game. What babies. Oh well guess I will sit back and enjoy Devil Rays baseball while it lasts. And yes they are still the Devil Rays. Not a good name, but better that Everybody Loves Rays

Yes the man did censor me. Add that to the reasons why I hate Brett Nyquist. He and George Bush should hang out. I wish I had a band and then I could sing the “stick it to the man” song. But I dont, so I will not do anything. So here are some things that have my panties in a bunch.

1. our fearless leader shot down another bill that would have given 10 million dollars to education, but increased the Pentagon’s budget. Man what a great president. WAR WAR WAR WAR, I am starting to jump the war bandwagon. It is the only important thing to our government so I might as well embrace it. I have order three rifles and you will see me patrolling the streets of Tampa in the near future. 30% approval rating, really, who the hell is the 30%, oh yeah, the rich that have gotten richer under him and are not affected by his b.s. policies and the recession we are heading towards.

2. I HATE FANTASY FOOTBALL. Seriously is there anything more frustrating. Other than when the computer decided you will not win a football game no mater what you do. Here are mine and Brett’s WR. Steve Smith, Roy Williams, Chris Chambers, Derrick Mason, Ronald Curry. That is a good bunch. Oh wait Four of them have the worst QBs in history throwing to them. Oh well, is it baseball season yet.

3. Did I mention Bush sucks

Well this was shorter than I thought.

I head out to my truck this morning to find every single bird in the neighborhood seemed to have crap all over it. I couldn’t even see out the windshield it was so heavy. There were sticks, acorns, bird poop, leaves.. everything from the trees overhead, on my truck. It was so bad I had to stop by the quick car wash just to see out of my windows. That turned into a $10 robbery. It only got rid of some of the stains.

I’m going to be sitting on my porch with a BB gun now and every time I see a little birdie come hopping around that tree.. dead. That or else Reena will park her car under the tree since she doesn’t seem to car what her car looks like.

Then along with the bird poop-fest.. we got completely dominated in Fantasy Football this week.. by another turd. I guess the morning surprise was just to cap off a pretty crappy weekend.
