Playing Some Fantasy Baseball 2008-03-18 09:31:08 If there is one thing that I am really into besides my computers it has to be competition. Nothing specific either just anything that some competitive edge to it. If it is something that you can play and win and beat someone else at I am going to play it. It is that simple for me. I love to win. The thing is that some things I have gotten really good at and win a little too easy and I like stuff that really gives a challenge. That is why I joined a fantasy baseball league. It is something that I have some control over and yet in some areas no control at all. That is where the challenge comes in.
I recently came across this program - Fantasy Sports Prophet's Fantasy Baseball
software and I think it is awesome. Personally I think this tool can be the key to winning fantasy baseball leagues.
Cleansing the Body 2008-03-24 09:09:49 I have really been feeling down lately. Not so much that there is anything wrong with me or anything it is just that I have not feeling that great lately. I am thinking that maybe it is some sort of intestinal thing or something. I am actually thinking about going down to the health food store and looking into some sort of liver cleanse. I have heard that those kind of things can really help.
Getting Back in the Air 2008-03-24 08:34:55 I am really looking forward to our upcoming trip we have planned. It has been a little while since we got to get out of state and we always have a good time traveling. I even went out and bought the kids some new MP3 players for the plane ride. They also like listening to music on the plane. I think it helps them pass the time better. Personally, I think this next California trip is going to be a blast.
Taking a Trip to San Diego this Year 2008-03-23 21:49:28 Typically the wife and I go back to California at least once a year to visit family. Most of the time however we are up north in the San Francisco area as most of our family lives up there. This year however it looks like we will be heading down to the San Diego
area as there will be a big family gathering down there. I am actually rather pleased about the change as it has been a little over five years since I have gotten a chance to go back to Southern California and I have been starting to miss it. We aren't going until September but I am already a little excited. Read more:Taking

Another Reason that Renuzit Rocks 2008-03-22 16:25:27 Let me start off by saying that i am huge fan of Renuzit so I may be a little bit biased about this and I think their new TriScents line is the best one yet. I just so happen to use this product all around my house all day long. With 2 kids and fours dogs you pretty much have to rely on one of their products to keep your house smelling nice because everything else I have tried just couldn't cut it. If you have never tried their product before you can actually go to their website and download and print the Renuzit TriScents Starter Kit coupon so you can try it out at a discounted price.
Well they have a big contest going on where you can win $20,000 for a home makeover. I mean just imagine how great it would be to win a $20,000 Home Makeover. Now that is what I call a prize. All you have t Read more:Reason

Trying to Find the Perfect House 2008-03-22 16:15:14 My wife and I have decided to buy a new house. We figure it is the right time to buy and it will help us to get out of our credit card debt as well. I figure I just have to find the right house that has a decent amount of equity going into it. That way I can immediately pull some equity out and refinance all of my credit card debt into one loan payment. It may take a little while to find the right house but I am willing to wait if I have to. Read more:Perfect

More Celebs in Rehab 2008-03-24 12:36:13 I have been hearing more lately about celebrities going to into rehab then ever before. The thing is that I am not sure if that is good or bad. Although I am glad that these celebs recognize that they need some sort of addiction treatment it still shows the general public and especially the young people that look up to them that they have a problem. Then again I am sure that most young people already know that these celebs have a problem and may respect them more for admitting it. Read more:Celebs

Loving My Seiko 2008-03-28 12:53:20 I love watches. I mean I really love watches. I have a ton of them and love them all for very different reasons. I probably have more watched that anyone you have ever met. Out of all my watches though I think I like my Seiko watch the best. It is one of the first real nice watches that I got and it still works great for me after all these years. It is a really nice one and it is so dependable. I have had other watches that looked great but eventually lost their ability to keep time and thats what a watch is for. Not this one though, trustworthy after all these years and still looking good.

Burnout Paradise Game Review 2008-03-28 12:44:38 I have played a lot of Burnout
games in the past and to be perfectly honest I have never been a fan. This new Burnout Paradise
game however is a lot different then the previous versions. There are several elements to that game that make it substantially better. First off you have the incredible crash sequences. I am talking about crash sequences that are very real to life unlike most car racing games out there were you can hit a guy head on at 60 mph and bounce off without damage. Try that in this game and your car will look like a soda can. They also have a new showdown mode where you can just get crazy bouncing all over the place. When you add that to the racing and stunt challenges it makes for quite and explosive game. Read more:Game Review
Right Tools for the Right Job 2008-03-27 23:36:01 I have been working on some cabinets for my new house for some time now and I have to say that I don't enjoy it at all. I am one of those guys who can do just about anything. Not necessarily well, but well enough that people will always ask me to help with their projects. I don't know why I don't like doing it. Maybe it is because I am working with outdated tools. I bet if I was using some of those new air tools it would encourage me to want to work on this kind of stuff more. Then again, it might not.

Don't Forget the Back Yard 2008-03-27 23:27:16 I talked in my last post about how we are redecorating the house. What I forgot to mention though is that we are also putting in all new furniture as well. I like going into a new house fresh almost like starting over. Well, when we make a move we go all out. We have even thought about the back yard in advance which most people forget about. We got a great deal on some teak outdoor furniture and I just know that it is going to look great in the new yard.
Redecorating Before the Move 2008-03-27 23:24:22 We are getting ready to move into a new house and if there is one thing that I hate it is redecorating or remodeling a house when I am living in it. The dirt and dust is just not fun to be around at all. So we are trying to get everything done before we move in. We are redoing all kinds of stuff that will make the place so much nicer. I am talking about everything from lighting fixtures to shower faucets. It is a lot of work but is going to be so worth it in the end. Read more:Redecorating
Web Design Too Complex 2008-03-29 15:30:29 Maybe I am a dinosaur in the world of web design but I think web design is just getting too complicated. I think that the problem is that the programs and style of design that I learned on has become almost irrelevant. It seems that html is a thing of the past and that all the new websites are designed with php scripting and macromedia flash. Maybe it is just me being cheap and not wanting to spend the extra money to invest in the proper programs needed to learn. Or maybe it is not wanting to take the time to learn. It is probably however a combination of all of those things. Call me a dinosaur if you want, the old school way still works, so I will stick with it and let the up and comers get all fancy with their flash stuff. Read more:Complex

CostCaptain Rocks the Software 2008-03-29 15:13:20 If you have never heard of CostCaptain.com than you have no idea why I am saying that so I must explain. Cost Captain is a website that sells all sorts of brand new Office 2007 Suite and Vista. They primarily sell to students and staff of schools, libraries and research labs. The thing is that they are a Microsoft Authorized Education Reseller that offers some really incredible prices. So if you are in the education field and are looking for the best deals on Microsoft Office or a new version of windows you have got to check them out. They can hook you up with a great deal.

Disney World or Sea World? 2008-03-29 07:31:03 This weekend we have been planning a trip to go back down to DisneyWorld
. The only thing is that I have been thinking that once you have been there, what's left to see. So I have been reconsidering whether we should go back there or maybe try something new. It is for my daughter's birthday and she wants to go but I really think that she might have more fun at Sea World than Disney World
. Mainly because of the animals and the fact that she is now tall enough to ride all of the rides. It is still up in the air as of now but I think I am going to have to sit down and talk to her about exactly where she wants to spend the day.
Remodel Time 2008-04-01 20:20:08 Okay so I just heard that Renuzit is running this awesome contest and I have to get involved in this one. This is not some small contest where you can win like a lifetime supply of Renuzit although I would love that too as I use their product religiously. With 2 kids and 4 dogs I kind of have to in order to actually smell anything nice at all. As I was saying though this is not some small prize this is a $20,000 prize from Renuzit TriScents to transform your home. If I had this prize I would almost try and take care of my teenagers room, just for smell purposes alone. But if I am going to have that kind of money to work with I am going to have to go with my kitchen. After all a kitchen remodel has the most resell value when selling your home.
Fixing up the kitchen will not only make the w Read more:Remodel
McDonald's for Lunch Again 2008-04-11 20:38:08 I made the mistake of moving into an up and coming community about a year ago and although it is a nice community there is just not much around in the terms of fast food. There are several new restaurants and things like that but the fast food is very limited. I have McDonald
's and Burger King to choose from for lunch every day and I hate Burger King. A wet whopper for lunch is just not appealing to me at all. That is why I eat way too much at McDonald's. I like the food and all, don't get me wrong, but you can only have McDonald's so many times before everything on the menu starts getting very old very fast. Whatever will I do? Read more:Lunch

Mother's Day is coming 2008-04-11 20:26:40 Well, it is official, Mother's Day is just around the corner. Needless to say I am a little bit worried. The reason for that is because I have no idea what I am going to do this Mother's Day. Every year there is a bit of a struggle of do I spend time with my mother or spend time with my wife and mother of my children. Well, I mean I always spend time with both of them but it seems that they never want to do the same things. So I always end up offending one of them.
That is why, truth be told, I am not a real big fan of mother’s day. It causes a lot of unnecessary drama and tension between the mother's in my family. You know the old phrase, why can't we all just get along. Well, it applies perfectly here. So maybe someday things will change and it will all be better but until that day I
Acoustic or Electric 2008-04-10 13:25:30 I have been having a real hard time lately determining if I want to go with acoustic or electric drums. I have had both in the past and I have both positives and negatives on each of them. Where the acoustic set have an unmatched sound the electrics are getting better. The electrics also give out a very even sound when recording but don't allow a lot of creative when it comes to how you hit the pad. I want a really nice drum set but I am just not sure which will be the better set in the long run. I am not too sure about the durability of an electric set after a year or so of setup and breakdown versus the acoustic. Hard decisions that must be reached soon. Read more:Acoustic

Having Fun with Trusted Tours 2008-04-12 23:29:35 Okay if there is one thing that I really love to do it is to travel. I travel all over the place as often as I possibly can. I will go anywhere for just about anything. I am not even on college anymore and I still go somewhere every spring break. Last year I went to San Francisco and checked out some of the cool sightseeing tours they had there during the day and then hit the bars at night. I did a search on things to do in San Francisco and found this cool company called Trusted Tours
& Attractions. They actually offer discounted tickets to the best sightseeing tours in 23 cities across America. So it was both fun and educational.
I have another trip coming up to San Diego in a couple of months and I think I am going to look into getting some San Diego zoo tickets from them. Also they ar Read more:Having

No iPhones for the Chinese 2008-04-12 19:09:53 China Mobile confirms that it has ended talks to team up with Apple on the iPhone. If you have not heard of China Mobile before it is because you do not live in China. If you did live their than you would know that China Mobile’s 370 million subscribers make it the world’s largest mobile-service provider. That is more subscribers than almost of the United States carriers combined. Apple is not giving up on getting into China though, maybe they will try to tie in with China Unicom, the only other cell phone provider in China. The thing is that both companies are state owned and if Apple wants in China they are going to have to cut one hell of a deal. Read more:Chinese
Getting Your Company Name Out There 2008-04-15 19:31:11 I have several businesses that I either run, own or help to run every month. It is because of this that a lot of my friends who are in the business world typically come to me with questions or looking for some kind of general advice about how to help their business succeed. I have a few basic steps that I use to start any business that always help to give a new business a good launch or help to relaunch an existing business to increase sales.
There are lots of ways to advertise your business. I use several different methods that I have found to be the most productive. One of those is a general mailout. I start by buying a list of the addresses of people in my area that fit the demographic of the people that I believe will be the best potential customers. Then I go and have some inexpensiv
Making Money With Photos 2008-04-15 19:13:07 All of my online money making ideas having really started taking off in the last couple of months including making money with photos. A little while back I found a website where I could upload my really good photographs and they would sell them for me as royalty free art. Each time one of my photographs sells I get anywhere from $.50 to $27 each. Not too bad of a deal considering all I have to do is upload them and tag them with a few key words. At first I wasn't really selling too many but as time has gone by my sells are increasing. I made around $20 this month of my pictures, which is pretty good considering they were just sitting on my hard drive doing nothing before. Not to mention there is nothing for me to do but sit around and watch them sell. I think I will take some more pics and Read more:Money
The Perfect Watch for Mother's Day 2008-04-15 18:07:05 Okay so with Mother's Day around the corner I have been looking for the perfect Mother's Day gift for my wife. I know that she is really into watches and jewelry but I always get her jewelry in the form of diamonds necklaces and rings so this time I am thinking about going with a really nice watch. I mean really nice, not something that you would find at every local department store but something that no one else in our area has. Something that really draws attention and says look at me.
After searching for a bit I found one. It is perfect it is a lot like a bracelet and watch combo. The band shapes around the wrist perfectly and almost hides the watch face so it appears like a bracelet. I mean you have got to see this watch that I found it is one of the nicest looking luxury watches that Read more:Perfect
Thinking About Buying an Island 2008-04-15 07:14:16 I have been in the Second Life world for a little while now and I really enjoy myself. I have a business and it does pretty well for itself. I am actually thinking about expanding my business unto a bigger piece of property. I thought about a piece that is double what I have now but I decided I really want to get into the land market so I am considering buying an island. It is a big step and a huge financial investment but I think it will pay off in the end. I can tell you right now that with my building skills, it is going to be a beautiful island. Read more:Buying

Identity Theft Stats 2008-04-14 17:18:48 I just came across this article that had some pretty ugly statistics about identity theft. As I am not the best at restating facts I will quote directly form them, For the seventh year in a row, identity theft tops the Federal Trade Commission's complaint list, accounting for 36 percent of the 674,354 complaints received between January 1 and December 31, 2006. When I saw this I was absolutely shocked. I have acfriend who was a victim of identity theft and ever since that happened she went to a company called life lock. They protect her now from anything like that ever happening again. I thought she was just paranoid but after reading that I am going to check them out. Read more:Stats
Die Fat and Happy 2008-04-22 17:47:04 I am going to start this post by admitting that I am not exactly in the best shape that I have ever been. I may have put on a little bit of weight over the many years that I have been married. It is not that I am not trying to lose weight though it is just that I am completely undisciplined when it comes to eating right and working out. If I can't lose weight by using some sort of diet pills then I say forget it. I would rather die fat and happy. Read more:Happy
Killing my Back 2008-04-22 17:43:46 My back has been hurting more and more recently and especially when I first wake up. Being the genius that I am I figured it must have something to do with my 10 year old mattress not providing me with the support I need when I sleep anymore. So I went out and bought myself a brand new mattress and brand new mattress topper. I have to tell you it is like sleeping on a cloud. I have no idea why I didn't so this along time ago.

New Wiring Needed 2008-04-22 17:41:04 Well I have to admit right off the bat, my office is a mess. The thing is that it really doesn't bother me so I ma pretty much okay with it. The problem however is that recently my internet has not been preforming up to par and I have been told it might be a wiring issue. So what I am going to do is to strip everything out of the office and rewire the whole place with CAT6. I guess this will finally be the motivation I needed to clean the place up.
SL Fun 2008-04-22 17:37:14 I have really gotten heavy into the world of Second Life in the last few months. The more and more time I spend in there the more I feel I can really do something. Yes I know that it is an alternate reality but there is just so much creative stuff to do there now. I mean, I own land and have tenants, a shopping mall and even a nightclub. I have even been looking into designing some stuff and opening my own chain of furniture stores. There is nothing you can't do there.
