Errr . . .
Ok so here is yesterdays story about Katie Couric leaving the Today Show . . . its official . . . she'll be leaving at the end of May . . . she's moving over to CBS . . . to host the CBS Nightly News . . . this is all good . . although it would be nice to find out whos gonna be replacing her on the Today show . . I'll miss Katie . . It just wont be the same without her . . . anyways . . . last nite was the results show for American Idol . . . and they voted off Mandisa . . . I thought she did really well too . . . too bad, I guess Im partly to blame cuz I didnt vote for her . . . I voted for Kelly Pickler, Paris, Katharine Mc Phee, and Buckey Covington . . . he kinda grew on me . . didnt much like him at the beginning of the season . . but he did really well singing a country song . . . Him and Kelly Pickler did the best . . . well anyways . . . to my disappointment . . . I missed recording Heist last nite . . . do to a time schedule shift . . . used to be that Idol was on before Heist so I could record them both on TiVo . . . now they overlap and I can only record one . . . that sux . . I hate it . . Im willing to be its becuz of some kinda Neilson Ratings scam too . . . they are probably trying to find out who watches what and who gets more viewers . . . Im working on a fix for next week so I can record both programs . . . well on a good note . . today was payday . . . and last nite we had hamburgers and hotdogs for lunch . . . this was nice . . . they did this cuz we had gone 45 days without any accidents . . . anyways . . . enough of my rantings for now . . . until next post . . . lata . . .

Latest Picture of Me . . .
Ok this is my latest picture for anyone who hasn't already seen it . . .
It was taken by my niece Amber using my Fuji FinePix A350 Digital Camera . . . This picture taken shortly after I had my hair cut on March 28th of 2006 . . . . 
64GB USB 2.0 flash drive. Yes, flash.
Insanely huge storage for a flash drive that size. Yes, it is 6-4, sixty four, gigabytes, of flash memory. This dwarfs many hard disk based portable usb drives as well, and at a fraction of the size. Imagine a 60 gigs flash based iPod..
here's a link to a much cheaper but similar usb drive -
Kanguru Flash Drive

My Days Off . . . .
Well to start off . . . I'll start with my Friday . . since thats where my weekend started . . . I havent written anything since then . . . . Ok on that Friday, before I went to work that nite . . . I just so happened to be on one of my IM clients . . . on my list of friends, suddenly someone comes up that I havent talked to in a long time . . . when I start a conversation with that person they keep asking me if I know who they are . . . sadly its been so long I dont remember them . . . then they turn around and tell me they are Paris, by Paris they are reffering I assume to Paris Hilton since that is what the Icon next to their screen name was showing . . . I was in shock . . . I wrote back and said "For Realz, You are Paris Hilton" . . . then they signed off and I havent heard from them since . . oh well who knows it could have been her . . but in reality it could have just as easily been someone impersonating her . . . after all this is the internet . . . without seeing live video of her . . I wouldnt believe it anyways . . . well now that I've told that little story . . . on to my weekend . . . Monday nite line up on NBC was Deal or No Deal, followed by The Apprentice, and then a replay of the Pilot episode of Heist . . . Tuesday morning all over the news, and by that I mean on Fox News, was the Protest in France. This is because the french government passed a new law allowing employers to fire anyone under 26 for no reason at all . . . oh I forgot to mention I got an e-mail from Julia, a girl I met on the internet that lives in Russia . . . its so awesome to get e-mail from her . . . oh in other news . . my mom is finally gonna be getting a computer . . . I'll be able to send her pictures and e-mail her . . . and she can finally see some of the stuff I do online . . . that will be nice . . . yesterday I took the time to call just about everybody in my contact list on my cell phone . . that was kewl . . got to talk to alot of family . . . and a few friends . . . Today I uploaded a bunch of pictures to my MoBlog that I took yesterday . . .

Ok Super Crazy Long Post . . . .
Ok so this post is long overdue . . . Since I've been to Denver and back . . . I finally got to meet Isaiahs wife Helena . . . shes kewl . . . . Isaiah and her both work @ Radioshack . . . . they recently celebrated their 2 yr aniversary . . . for free, no kidding . . . they stayed @ a hotel that had a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee . . . and they messed up on the breakfast . . . so Isaiah and Helena were comped for the whole nites stay . . . anyways . . . . I had alot of fun there in Denver . . . I won a couple hundred bux that I spent while I was there on food, gas, and entertainment . . . of course I brought my own movies and games to play and watch . . . we also rented a kewl movie . . . The Game . . . that movies a Dave movie as it really makes you start to think about things . . . I left a couple of my DVDs there with Isaiah . . . and also left Kingdom Hearts for the PS2 there for Him and Helena to play . . . although I think Isaiahs favorite game to play while I was there was Soul Calibur 2 . . . I went to this place called Fat City . . . it was awesome . . . I went there with Helena . . . . we played like 5 rounds of Bowling . . . for only a couple of dollars a game . . . it was kewl . . . and the arcade there was awesome . . . it made me miss my old job in the arcade . . . . also I spent time with Isaiahs neighbor . . . Patricia . . . Isaiah kinda despises me for this . . . cuz one day I took off with her . . . cuz he didnt want to do anything . . . I cant say I dont blame him . . . its kinda my fault . . . I kinda had a crush on Patricia . . . . she had a wonderful 3 yr old son . . . and during my stay @ Isaiahs . . . she had another baby . . . she was only in the hospital for like 30 mins or so . . . man can she pop out a baby . . . lol . . . . anyways . . . . one day me and her and her 3 yr old son . . . went around Denver . . . we went to a mall and also a place called Nickel City . . . a nickel arcade . . . it was fun . . .

I figured out how to wire my cell phone to my laptop and get internet anywhere I go . . . . and @ nite time its free . . . Andy . . my other cousin enjoyed using the internet on my laptop cuz it gets connected @ speeds almost double what dial up is . . . 115 Kbps . . . which is much faster than what they have . . . oh yeah . . .

Adam liked that cuz it was cheap . . . . food here is cheaper too . . . and so is the water . . . or rather bottled water . . . he like it here cuz its cheaper to live . . . . alas he had to go home after spending a week up here though . . . I remember one day we played BurnOut 3 Takedown for like 6 hrs straight . . . . it was awesome . . . and then one time there was a blackout while he was up here . . . I was like . . bored . . . and wanted to build a back up power system . . . my dad had power though . . . he always does . . . Adam just was like . .
