Obnoxious Color

So tonight I got some free swag courtesy of one of my vendors, I love
it b/c the color is so obnoxious. This will be the new bag of the
moment.

a thought

days start and days end.
they come and then they go.
they have ups, sometimes downs.
and the good doesn't always outweigh the bad.
but somewhere in those days,
we find moments of peace.
then, we begin again....

Oatmeal and Spaghetti

So my day started and ended pretty good, well technically it hasn't ended yet since its 1am in the morning and Im writing my blog, I guess it is what it is.

Oatmeal and Spaghetti, the first and last things I ate today.

Terrell Owens gets cut from the Cowboys. I know I should take pleasure in others misfortunes but I find it hard to muster any sympathy for Owens who seems to cause havoc wherever he goes. My friend Sara and I had a discussion about Owens today, she is a Cowboys fan and believes that Owens is the victim. I'm not sure I agree with that, but I'm biased I'm an Eagles fan. However I think that sometimes Owens may say what is true but says in a manner that is offensive to those around him. Maybe he should learn to keep his mouth shut.

Speaking of keeping things to themselves, Chris Brown should learn to keep his hands to himself. The description of the incident given but the LAPD Detective was disturbing. This wasn't Chris Brown hitting the woman once this was a "What's Love Got to do With It" assault. To top it all off apparently Rihanna went back to Brown perpetuating the cycle. He will probably get off light, and unfortunately this incident will probably happen again.

Michael Steele on the job a month and some republicans already want his head. He needs to stop going on DL Hughley talking about bling and making the RNC off the hook. Know your audience Steele know your audience.

Let the curse of the Yankees begin. ARod needs surgery, out 10 weeks. Its what happens when you body goes into withdrawal from the 'roids. Lets see what other bad karma is in store for the Bronx Bombers.

Everyone should check out twitter, google it if you don't know what is. If your already using twitter check out twitter deck as a desktop client. It runs off of the Adobe Air platform its nice.

Well thats all for me tonite, nite world.

Thoughts

michael steele lacks the courage of his convictions, i was pleased with him for a hot second. he had the brave idea of taking on rush limbaugh and his negative view of politics, and then reality set it and the backtracking began. he earned and lost respect from me in 24 hours, i think thats a record for me. read all about it...

when the phenomenon that is 24 first started i wasn't a big fan of it and now i dont think i could do without it. aaron staley a former coworker of mine turned me on to it near the beginning of season 5 and i've never looked back. for the uninitiated 24 is a show about the worst day in the life of a federal agent. jack bauer is the guy they govt calls when there is no one else and he gets the job done. the show is done in real time, each 6o minute episode an hour in bauer's day. after watching the 5th season i went back and watched the first 4 and was real excited for season 6.... big let down. however season 7 is starting strong, with a plot against the president which when left off on monday found the president held hostage in white house by some ambitious african terrorists. on a side note i find it some what disconcerting that terrorists found their way into the white house, neutralized the secret service and got the president out of her safe room. but if you have never watched 24 check it out, mondays @ 9p.

im not really sure how i feel about the roots on jimmy fallon or how i feel about jimmy fallon. but here is how the roots feel about their new late nite gig here. im gonna give it a few weeks and fast forward through all of the parts with fallon.

nite world.

24

i know the national treasure movies are cheesy but im always so entertained by them

tonite is 2hrs of jack bauer, im soooo loving the fact that 24 is back on tv.

jimmy fallon starts his show tonite that in and of itself isnt important however the fact that the roots are the house band makes me want to watch

ipods and iphones aren't allowed in the gates household

Today's Events

so this weekend has been about two things really, sleep and jelly beans..... yes jelly beans.

ive been a nerd this weekend, more so than normal backing up files cleaning up non-essential files off of my laptop. i have divested myself off of microsoft office and am going to try to go with iwork 09 only. im hoping that the lack off office on my computer might deter me from doing work on my laptop that is the type of work that i would normally get paid for.

im still devasted about brian dawkins signing with the denver broncos, he was my favorite eagle. wish he could have stayed but i understand why philly wouldn't pay him what he wanted.

this morning around 7am i had a meeting at apple. cox cable has a display outside the store to demo their television service. @ somepoint desperado came on, i didn't really think anything of it until about 1hr in when everyones favorite scene with selma hayek and antonio banderas came on and there was no editing. yeah softcore was in effect at fairoaks mall, at least there were no children around.

cheesecake has awesome beef ribs, im throughly impressed. although i think all restaurants should carry coke zero, diet coke is really not the same

im kind of feeling the new netbooks its a niche product but i like it.

in 24 - 48 hrs jaydimes.com should be back up and running check it out if you get a chance
