Meet happy!
While walking down the street the other day, my girlfriend and I came across an awesome puppy named happy. She was hanging out on Congress with a few other puppies that were rescued by Austin Pets Alive. It’s a nonprofit volunteer organization that is helping to stop killing of adoptable pets. All I can say is they are doing a great job and it’s awesome to see people making a difference.
After thinking it over for a few days, we decided to go ahead and bring her on home. Say hello to happy!
She’s a Terrier Mix and were looking forward to seeing how big she gets lol.

My internet is sick and needs help badly…
My Story
About three weeks ago, I signed up for your Time Warner Road Runner service. I then scheduled the first installation appointment I could so I could get my internet running as quickly as possible.
Luckily, that all went pretty smoothly. However, it’s only been a week and a half and today I already am experiencing my first outage. At 10 AM this morning, my internet bombed out and would no longer connect.
So instead of spending my day as usual catching up on work emails, writing posts, and all that good stuff; I ended up having to tether my phone so I could figure out which number to call for your support.
First,…

Why It’s so Hard to Get My Order Right
Living in Arizona means living with a large population of immigrants. Especially Mexican immigrants. Now I have no problems whatsoever with people coming over here to improve their quality of life and to send money home to their family every month. I think that is one of the noblest things a person can do, risk everything of themselves to provide for the ones they love. I don’t even have a problem with the ones who come over here illegally.
America doesn’t make it very easy to receive green cards, and some people cannot wait through the entire application process before coming over. To the people who can make it over here safely, good for you. Welcome to America!
The Problem
The one thing I do have a problem with is the fact that people who immigrate to the US and take jobs where their main duty is to talk to other people and they do not speak or comprehend much English. Maybe my bigger problem is with the people who hire them to work at the counter, or work the drive thru, answer the phones, or anything else that requires spoken English and comprehension.

After I got sick of all that, I decided to physically go to a Bank of America to talk to someone. So I walked in and gave the teller my information. After a few minutes of silence, the guy responds and says he doesn’t see an account for me anywhere.
I told him I knew for a fact I did and showed him my debit card. I told him it was rather new, and that I just logged into it a few minutes earlier. He then started looking some more but still did not find anything. He turned to me and said:
What State Are You From?
This was the question he asked me after looking for my account the second time.
Centipedes, Audition Tapes, and Magazine Covers

Today I spent some time catching up on other bloggers posts since it has been awhile. It is always nice to see what other people are up to. One of the blogs I was visiting was TysBlog.com and he has had a lot of good posts lately. I encourage everyone to check out his Top Affiliate Challenge audition video (vote it a 10!).
Another thing thought caught my eye, was a website called MagMyPic.com, that creates magazine covers from your digital images. Check out this cover I created:
And here is another one I created entirely from scratch using one of my pictures from Hawaii and Photoshop:
Speaking of Hawaii, another blog I visited this morning was TheHawaiianLife, which is always interesting to…

Sitting on the internet today, I came across a website that tells you when you are going to die. Of course it isn’t accurate or guranteed but it still opened my eyes. You can check it out at DeathClock.com
I have around 2,320,130,354 seconds to live as I am writing this post. My day of death will come on November 16th, 2081. I guess I have some time left to figure things out. Maybe by then I will actually find my dream job and where I want to live.
Watching the timer tick really makes you think about how life is still pretty short. Every second I sit here is gone forever.
Anyways, I am going on a sabbatical this weekend…

Tags: Dentist
First off, cheers to everyone that survived the work week. I think we only had a few causalities this week. It was a long one but I have managed to make it through the week. I showed up an hour late for work today and no one noticed. So that is always a plus. Plus we have a picnic today so I can stuff my face and continue on my path to 300 pounds. Only 123 pounds to go, just kidding.
Things are going to get worse this afternoon though. I am going to the dentist today to get my teeth drilled. I am not very happy because I am getting 3 cavities filled…ugh!!! I guess drinking tons of…

I saw this meme over at Neil’s World and thought it was pretty interesting. So I thought I would go ahead and answer the questions myself:
1. When showering, do you start the water and then get in, or get in then start the water?
I always start the water first, been doing it that way forever.
2. Do you read the labels on your shampoo bottle?
Not usually, unless I am at the store looking for some that smells halfway decent.
3. Do you moan in the shower like the people on the Herbal Essences commercial?
No I do not, unless it involves the next question…
4. Have you ever showered with someone of the opposite sex?
Yes I have and I liked it…
5. Have…

Tags: Hollywood, Reality Television
Last night was The Hills Season Premiere on MTV and of course, I watched it.
Why? I have no idea. Probably because I’ve seen a thousand commercials for it this week and see the characters on every magazine at the grocery store.
Anyways, I can sum up last nights premiere in one simple word…crap.
Seriously, what was the point of it? The plot was terrible. It started with Spencer going up to Colorado to try and win his girlfriend back. I’m still trying to figure out what they actually do for “jobs.” Seems like their days consist of nothing but going out to eat and having a few drinks. It must be nice to not have to spend 50 hours a week…

Tons of drinks, loss of memory, and a roommate walking home 3 miles from the bar. That sums up last nights events out in Tempe. So this morning, I reach for my Airborne tablets which I have so often used as a “hangover cure” when I see on TV that they have been sued. For what? I had to investigate this on the internet.
Sure enough, the makers of Airborne have been sued for selling products that do not actually work. In 2006, ABC reported that “There was no clinic, no scientists and no doctors. The man who ran things said he had lots of clinical trial experience. He added that he had a degree from Indiana University, but…
