Guitar Fiend 2008-05-31 09:46:00 Hey there. Yesterday, I played guitar for the first time in quite awhile. I have a Kirk Hammett 602 and yesterday as I attempted to play some stuff, I noticed that I'm awfully slow, hammer ons and pull offs are nowhere near where they used to be and my timing was completely off. I'm going to have to spend a little more time working on my chops. One of my favorite songs to play, Master of Puppets, Read more:Guitar

Drained After Work 2008-05-29 10:03:00 Hey there. I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but this whole week, I have been feeling rather drained. And it's worst right after work. It's almost as if my body is forcing itself to stay up to get through the work day, but the moment I jump in the car, I start yawning, eyelids, feeling heavy and am just plain ol' tired out of my mind. Someone should conduct a study. I'm sure they'll find that

Lakers over Spurs!!! 2008-05-27 23:04:00 Man, I swear these damn Lakers are going to give me a heart attack. We were up 7 with less than a minute to go and after bad, bad clock management by the Lakers, the Spurs
end up with the ball with 2 seconds in the game. Brent Barry, killing us all night from the 3 point line, misses the 3 point buzzer beater. For those of you who watched the game, GREAT no call on Fisher. Barry shied away fro

Captivity 2008-05-25 12:42:00 UGH! I rented this out from Netflix and finally had a chance to sit down and watch it... BUT THE STUPID DISC DID NOT WORK!!! So now I have to wait until they send me the replacement and considering that this is a 3 day weekend, it'll take forever for it to get to me. Ugh!

New Orleans 2008-05-23 12:37:00 Hey there. I finally have a few mins to post about our trip... and what a trip it was. It was my first time driving to LAX and parking there and for those of you who know, it's a nightmare. I knew that it was bad, but didn't know how bad. I wanted to be there an hour before our flight, my wife suggested 2. Good thing qwe left 2 hours before. After missing the exit (stupid mapquest) and havi Read more:Orleans

No title 2008-05-22 11:36:00 Hey there. I caught this movie last weekend and I must say that I was disappointed. It had the premise to be a good flick but it lagged significantly in many areas. First off, I was drawn to this movie because Netflix recommended it, since I checked out Girl Next Door, which is pretty bad ass, and thought, what the hell, I'll check Bug out too. The description of it made it sound interesting. A ps
Ode to Star 2008-05-22 10:03:00 A lone diamond twinkles brightlyLike an unsung hero that passes onNo dark clouds to shroud you overLike a black veil that covers faceYou blinkYou turnYou lightYou burnO heavenly body, how I envy youTo live in the heavens and watch overTo live a million lifetimesOur feeble minds advance and regressWhile you shine as radiant as everAs I watch you rise, and soon, your fallI detest to follow suitFor I
Kids Say the Craziest Things 2008-05-20 10:55:00 Hey there. Yesterday, we went to the market to buy us some groceries. Nothing unusual while we're roaming the isles filing up our cart. Once we're outside in the parking lot, I turn to make sure that the kids are not in the way of cars and I notice that our middle child, who will be turning 7 in June, is walking with her eyes closed. Soon after she says something to my wife, which I didn't catch, Read more:Craziest
I'm back! 2008-05-19 16:01:00 Hey there friends. I'm back! New Orleans was fun. Credit conference finished a few hours early so I had a little extra time with my wife to check out the city. The place is such a party town. I always thought that Bourbon street would only be "crazy" during Mardi Gras, but from what I saw, it seems to be a party there every night. Loud music, live bands in every pub, people walking on the st
New Orleans, Here We Come! 2008-05-14 11:50:00 Hey there. We're heading to New Orleans
. I have a credit conference to attend there, so I'll be off on a business trip for a few days. I'm taking my wife with me though so she'll keep me company. We take off tomorrow morning and be back home late Saturday evening. Not so sure what kinda sights there are so I'll need to look up stuffs to do in New Orleans
. All I know is that Bourbon Street is

Cosmic Bowling 2008-05-12 10:05:00 Hey there friends. We had a blast bowling on Friday. I forgot the damn camera so I can't post any pics so I'll do that later tonight, if not, tomorrow. My wife had a lot of my friends, especially some I haven't seen in awhile, scheduled to show but some canceled for personal reasons. It was still cool, though. It ended up being my bro, brother in law, 2 friends, and my wife on two lanes. We got th Read more:Bowling
Someone Spills the Beans!!! 2008-05-09 17:09:00 Hey there friends. I quit trying to get the surprise out of my wife, since I know she busted her ass off to keep my birthday activity a secret. Well, my comadre spilled the beans!!! She wished me happy birthday over IM and after I thanked her, she asks, "so you guys are going bowling tonight". lol So it looks like I'm going bowling!!!! My wife came over and was like, "I'm going to sock her!" Read more:Beans
Budget Cuts 2008-05-09 16:31:00 Hey there friends. I got this in an Email today. I thought this was hilarious. Looks like all new employees will be sporting these new "manufactured" cubicles due to budget cuts. hahahaha
2 Legends 2008-06-06 12:18:00 Hey there. The NBA finals started last night and to my dismay, the Lakers let a golden opportunity slip away. Kobe had an off shooting night. MANY shots rattled around the rim and just popped out. But I won't complain, the Celtics were just the better team for 48 minutes on that night. We'll get em next time.While watching the game, one commercial that they aired just gave me the chills. For those Read more:Legends
Reign In Blood 2008-06-05 17:11:00 Hey there friends. It's only fitting that one of the last songs to beat on Guitar Hero III comes from one of the most bad ass albums ever. A creation by one of the masters of metal, Slayer. On my quest to become a guitar hero master, I have come across a road block that I just cannot seem to get through. I have been stuck on Raining Blood

Lakers Down 2-0 2008-06-09 09:24:00 What the hell is wrong with the Lakers? Down 24 points with 8 minutes to go in the 4th?!?!!? Not to take anything away from the Celtics, they are in the finals for a reason, but the Lakers should not be down 24 points. Especially when they are considered a high offense team. They need to get their shit together or they WILL lose this series. Only after playing inspired (if not desperate) bask
Entrecard Issues? 2008-06-10 14:21:00 Hey there friends. I am having some issues with Entrecard. Was wondering if it's just me or if something is up. I haven't seen any other posts in regard to any probs and my widget is not loading on my page. On top of that, I'm having issues logging into the website. The website itself doesn't load all the way and many of the image cards are not loading. I was just about to get to dropping my Read more:Issues
Unforgetable Memories 2008-06-12 09:56:00 Ever gone out on vacation and just took a beautiful picture that just captured the moment? We all have that one photo in out photo albums that we get all googly eyes and reminisce about that moment. Well, how about we make that moment even more special by making it into a photo card.

Friday the 13th Laughfest! 2008-06-11 16:34:00 Hey there friends. Gonna be in the L.A area? Who's up for a free show on the 13th? My friend, The Fake Mark Gonzalez, is going to be on the bill and trust me, him and his entourage be some funny people. No drink minimum so even you, the unlucky yet oh so needed designated driver, can go to the show and have yourself some laughs with your drunken brethren.

Worried Out of My MInd 2008-06-13 13:31:00 Hey there. Crazy ass Friday the 13th so far... We were on our way to work (my wife and I work for the same company, which is great because we save on gas and we carpool. Since the company gives out gift cards to employees that carpool, we score like $200 in gift cards every quarter just for coming to work. lol) and we're literally right outside the office building when I get a call from my mot
Lakers Down 3-2 2008-06-16 00:14:00 Hey there Lakers. The Lakers pulled out the win, despite a very sloppy game. It was nothing to be proud of, but a win is a win. I loved the post game interview by Gasol. "I didn't want them celebrating on my home court, with champainge and crap." Classic stuff. lol Man, the Lakers, again showing why they are the Western champs, bring it to the Celtics in the first quarter. Killing them in
