Saw this at state and tried to take a picture of it. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a good angle to take the picture that I really wanted

Score to a warehouse tapeball game. I think it’s Tim on top, Mark in the middle, & Peter last. The taunt is probably from Mark.

Snakes on a Plane!!!!!!!!

I am so ready to see Snakes On A Plane!!!!

I still need to see Talladega Nights.  Someone said that it wasn’t that good, but I have to see it for myself.

I don’t watch as much T.V. has I used to…Actually, I don’t know.  I have the T.V. on all the time, but mostly it is background noise.  Still there are alot of shows that I watch:

• Monday Night Raw(USA) – I am still somewhat of a wrestling fan, although I am finally getting tired of it.  I know that it is fake, but I liked the storylines that they had in the past.  Now, the stories suck and the wrestling looks more fake than ever.  I kinda watch it just for habit now, but the last couple of weeks, I’ve been going to the gym instead.
• Eureka(SCI-FI) – I am really liking this show about an ordinary cop in a town with extraordinary people.  The stories have been good so far and I like the characters.
• ECW(SCI-FI) – I started watching this cause I heard all about how ECW was suppose to be Extreme and the wrestlers were suppose to be really good.  So far, I haven’t been impressed, esp. since it just seems to be Raw and Smackdown wrestlers on the show.  I’ll probably stop watching it.
• Blade the series (Spike) – I wasn’t sure about this show, esp. when they killed off a main character in the 2nd episode.  But any vampire show with a child vampire can’t be all bad.  Right?  And the lead female vampire are bitchy hot (like all female vampires should be).  The multiple storylines are great also.
• CSI (Spike) – Didn’t used to be a CSI fan, but slowly got sucked into it.  If I have the TV on between 7-9pm, then it is usually what I’m watching.  It’s probably all fake, but I like how the CSI stuff works and I like trying to see if I can guess the case.
• Friday Night Smackdown (CW) – See Monday Night RAW
• The Daily Show (Comedy)– I love the Daily Show.  It is one of the smartest, funniest shows on TV today.  Hands down.
• The Colbert Report(Comedy) – Colbert is also a God along with Jon Stewart.  Although, I not that interested in the interview part, The Word segment is the funniest thing hands down.
• Adult Swim (Cartoon) – It the only place where I can see anime on TV.
• ABC News – This is my 5-7pm news of choice.
• Namaste America – I don’t watch Sat cartoons anymore, not because I am in my 30’s, but because the cartoons today just suck.  My new Saturday fix is watching Bollywood music videos.  If I was a music star, I would have to get a Bollywood director to direct one of my videos.

There are four other shows that I kinda watch. Celebrity Fit Club, Project Runway, Rescue Me, and It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia.  They are good shows, but I am always missing them, so I just see them from time to time.

What magazines do you subscribe to, and why

1. The Sporting News – I got this magazine mainly for my old employees at the warehouse, Tim and Mark.  They left and I left,  but the magazine still comes.  Now it’s Josef and Tony at the warehouse, but they aren’t real sports guys.  Not sure when the subscription will end.
2. Computer Gaming World – I like to keep tabs on the PC gaming world, even though the only thing that I play is World of Warcraft.
3. Electronic Gaming Monthly – Also like to keep tabs on the consoles, even though I don’t have one.  I think it’s just leftover from when I wanted to be a game designer a long time ago.
4. Computer Shopper – I like to keep tabs on computer prices and the latest equipment.  I’m not ready to build a new computer yet, but the idea is slowly simmering in my head.  I will have to build a new computer when I finally upgrade to MS Vista.  But to be honest, there isn’t special about Vista that makes me want to get it when it finally comes out.  If anything Apple is looking pretty good, esp. the Macbooks.  Overall, it will be awhile before I get a new computer.  A new monitor would be nice though(esp. a 30″ Apple Cinema Display.  Mmmmm….30″)
5. Art Materials Retailors – Trade magazine for stores that sell art supplies.
6. Mr. – Trade magazine for men clothing stores.  Not sure how I got this subscription. It doesn’t really does me any good, since we are a college store (and I am not a buyer). But it’s nice to look at the latest fashions (that I will never wear).

Not doing anything with myself, as usual. Actually just enjoying the last day of my vacation. Well, not enjoying it per se, just not doing anything productive. Contemplating dinner right now and thinking about subway or quizzno. That would be the easiest thing to do. Or I could just fast for the rest of the day. On the other hand, with Amber on vacation this week, I might need all the strength that I can get. Maybe I should bug Josef and see if he wants to get something to eat. Naw. I should enjoy the peace and quiet.

What was the first movie you remember seeing in a movie theater? 
Question submitted by mainmor.

I want to say it was Star Wars, but I have seen it so many times in the theaters and at home that I am not sure.  I do remember going to see Jaws (not sure why my parents would take me to see that) and scarring me out of the water up to this day.  I also remember that Mr. Mom was one of the movies showing on the flight from the States to Korea. 

O.k. I can post entries from my phone, but pictures I have to either download them to my computer or port them on textamerica. Trying to simplify things here. Hmmm, I wonder if I can use w.blogger or even Word2007 to post

Well, I said that I wasn’t going to make a whole bunch of journals with my screen name like last time.  But having been frustrated with trying to find a way to post phone entries and cell pictures directly to my site, I thought that I would try Vox out.
