No Email Address?

It is the year 2012, and at work I'm still amazed that there are some people that do not have access to an email address... It is truly mind boggling. Now, I'm not some technogeek that says, "Woah, dude, I'm amazed there are people without a Tumblr account or an IPhone" but I mean, an email account is pretty normal these days isn't it. My grandmother has one, even though she doesn't really know how to use it. Credits for trying. 

Last night, Priyam and I went to see The Woman in Black starring Mr.Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe. It was pretty good. I had seen the show in London when on a field trip while at ZIS, but I can't remember too much about the play other than it filled you full of dread. The movie was pretty similar in that sense, but I would need to read the book or see the play again to actively compare those to the movie. Overall, pretty decent.

Anyway, very happy its Friday and looking forward to the weekend. It is turning out to be quite a busy weekend with work to do and things to accomplish. We shall see. 

So Sad, but So True

Fruits of Labor

So today the magazine that my boss and I have been working on will finally be mailed out to current and previous customers, and I received my own copy of it today. I've designed quite a bit of it, so its great to see a publication get released. Plus I can add it to my resume, which is always a good thing.

Actually, today started off rather poorly because I wasn't feeling very well. I still am a bit achy and have sore throat with off an on headaches. There are a bunch of people sick here at work, so I am praying right now I don't get it. We shall see...

What Are You Saying Exactly?

Despite a minor hiccup with apartment rent getting paid (which was entirely their fault by the way) the week has started off pretty well. Yesterday was an easy work day and there was some decent TV on last night.

Something has been bothering me for a while now though. There is someone on Facebook (who shall remain nameless) who posts the most left-wing radical nonsense on the face of the planet. I absolutely cannot stand it. They will read an article that is factually manipulative and generally the most biased information out there, think its wonderful, and spread it for her entire Facebook friend list to see. Everyone has the right to their own opinions, but most of the information is, if not completely untrue, bordering on factually incorrect. Now, I have decided to take it upon myself, as a public service, to leave comments about all of the worthless and false points in anything that they do.

I don't consider myself a true Republican or a conservative by any means. I'm quite liberal by most accounts. But this person grinds my gears on so many things, that they clearly need to be put in their place to show the world that everything isn't the dreamland scenario that this chronic left-wing nutjob believes it to be.

If they lived close by, I would grab them right now, shake them, and yell as loud as I can:
"WAKE UP AND SMELL THE *&^$%#@!*&^ COFFEE!"


thats all for now, but I'm sure I will have more information further into my crusade against this facebook posting war. 

Smoke on the Water

Before I go into my post, I give you my photoshop creation.... Click on the photo for a bigger image...

So yesterday was the Super Bowl between the Patriots and Giants, and frankly I don't even want to go into it. One of my People I Love to Hate members won, and I'm still no pleased one bit about it. 

Although I must say, we had a nice little feast. BBQ Ribs (that we made ourselves), wings, shrimp, chips and dips. Really good stuff. The commercials were good as well. Not an all out bad experience, it has to be said. 

Chak De PLS?

Finally I've found some interesting information about this league on the company's website:
 http://www.cmg-world.com/

This is the company managing the league, and they have more information on trying to find franchise owners:

Interesting information, it has to be said. 

All in Forms

Well, its been my first blog post in a while (even longer without a Photoshop creation attached) but nothing huge has really happened. As the world turns so to speak.  

I've just got into this new show by Lost creator JJ Abrams called Alcatraz. It definitely has a Lost feel (one of my favorite shows of course) but its a bit different as well. I've watched the past two weeks glued to the action. One thing I really like about it is some of the questions it leaves you with at the end of each episode (a la Lost). Now, unfortunately, its not as mind bending as lost is, which is sort of a let down. Its almost as if Fox told Abrams and the writers: We want you to create a Lost-like TV show, but we don't want it to be a thought provoking because we want dumb people to be able to watch it as well. So pros and cons. I'll keep watching, and I think its gotten a decent reception by most, so I doubt it will be canceled. 

In other news, I have had some interesting thoughts recently. The first regards living in a house. I never have considered myself a homebody, but I've been starting to get the feeling that I really want to live in a house that Priyam and I can decorate. We can pick out furniture, paint walls, really expand our lifestyle (and possibly even get a puppy, which is one of my life goals oddly enough). Where has this come from? Who knows, maybe its effective advertising from IKEA or something. Whatever it is, its made me start looking at houses to rent in Albuquerque. The only issue is that we're not quite completely settled here with jobs we'll have for the next ten years and tons of friends etc so getting a house might be a bit ridiculous.

Also, I read about this extremely interesting new soccer league in India with a bunch of former soccer stars:  http://www.firstpost.com/sports/move-aside-cricket-here-comes-the-indian-premier-league-soccer-187002.html

It got me thinking. I really would love to work in soccer. Plus its a new league with a bunch of stars. More to come possibly soon...
