Even with moderate expectations I was really blown away by this movie. It was so good it’s hard to even put into words and yes, that’s rare. I had an opportunity to go and see this last night and when left the theater I was in a sate of awe. The story takes you along the journey of two brothers who’s mother was killed while they were very young. They’re joined by a little girl named Latika who’s also in the same predicament. Living in dumps and in slums on trash and handouts it’s really amazing how they survived. Each had a different path and overall it’s much more than a love story, much more. The children in the movie are actually from the slums of India and your heart just melts watching these little kids. It’s funny, energetic, dramatic suspenseful and the method that the story is told is sheer genius. THIS, is a must see movie. Slumdog Millionaire... Permalink

Saturday night my Mom’s dog, Buckles, was hit on the road right across from the her house in Lynchburg, Ohio. Unfortunately Buckles must have been chasing something across the road and was hit by a car. She didn’t make it. I’m sorry Mom, wish I could be there to make it all better. Mom still has her dog Dyna but this is the third in as many years she’s lost it seems. Buckles was a Rottweiler just like all of her other dogs, big, loveable and protective. I think it’s going to be awhile before my Mom gets another one.... Continue Reading

I’m sure all the stress is in my head and I did my best to relax over the weekend. Right now I’ve got a ton of stuff running through my head and none of it is doing me any good. Between my boss asking us to cut our hours, the failing economy, my dwindling savings account and loads of other stuff…it all concerns me. That and a few other things, I’ll keep that stuff to myself though. So I only went out one night this weekend, and after my day in the office on Friday of course it was Friday... Continue Reading

I had weird thought lately, over the last 10 or so years I’ve come to depend on certain brands over any others. Brands that form and shape who I am and ultimately define me as a person. Well, define me to people who don’t know me at least and I’m just as guilty as you are. Most of this realization came from recommendations from friends like, “what kind of camera should I get?” or “can you fix my computer/recommend a new one?”, etc. I always answer with the same answer, “I use this and I probably wouldn’t buy any other...

After using Health Cubby for a while on my iPhone it left me a bit unimpressed. You really couldn’t track your workout very well and to honest, I’m not looking to decrease my waist size dramatically or lose weight. I really want to get a better tone and maybe get a bit bigger so the weight thing doesn’t really make sense. So I found iFitness which allows you to track all of your workout. Everything, and I mean everything. First you set up your individual workout (at least that’s how I did it) by adding pre-entered exercises to each workout... Continue Reading

Wow Denise was out of it on Sunday. Zak, his uncle, Amanda and I went down to Rocco’s for some lunch and we had Denise as our waitress while we sat outside. We had all been chilling by the pool helping Zak and Amanda beat each other at a heated game of Scrabble when it became apparent we needed some Rocco’s and a shot of tequilla. So off we went. Lunch was good as usual, actually it was the first Sunday Rocco’s was actually open ever and the place was hopping. Denise came in after being out the night before... Continue Reading

Finally a real vacation. I’m heading to Cancun with my bro in mid March and it’s really giving me something to look forward to. Booked the tickets last night and now I’ve just got to expedite the whole passport renewal thing (forgot you need a passport now). So that’s on the agenda for the next four weeks. The hotel we’re staying at is one that I helped build the website for so I KNOW the hotel pretty well since I stare at the images every day. The pimp as pimp ME Cancun Hotel so that’s pretty sweet. I’m only going... Continue Reading

Alright, so I was a bit leery about running the new operating system on my machine this morning at work as time is short and I didn’t have time to make sure a network program we Mac users had to use in the office in order to connect to our internal server. As soon as I got to the office this morning it was a no go. So off to Thursby software to see what an upgrade was. Unfortunately I didn’t have the email used in the original purchase so I was forced to buy a whole new liscense. Shit,... Continue Reading

As you all know I’m kind of a design nerd/apple freak so this weekend I made the leap to Leopard (Mac OS 10.5.6) and so far I’m digging it. The upgrade was painless (so far) and the built in Time Machine is freakin awesome. It backs up my entire system to an external drive and allows me to recover anything with the click of a button. Now it’s just a matter of cleaning my laptop off since the OS sucked up another 9gigs above my old operating system. So for most of the weekend I was on and off doing... Continue Reading
