YOU GOT CATS OR SOMTHIN...
YES I DO! This is spooky. He lives with my parents. He is the last pet I have owned, the dog doesn't count! He looks a bit beaten up, but he had to get tough living with the prvious cat I had Hook. You can tell how hard he lives by the one torn ear. He is one tough cat! But he is also very sweet. Cats are terrific, Unless your anyone from Katies family and then it's just, you got cats or somethin!

To Blog or Not to Blog?
It seems that blogging is becoming some what an old hat. I can already see signs of the blogging trend dying out. Igive it maybe another year before we leave the blog. I guess people have jumped on the my space train. I guess the thought of having MY SPACE seems a bit more exciting than a BLOG. We'll if your out there and you still Blog, I hope you comment on what you think will happen to the blogging trend. If not then I guess a year might be to long.

Im turning 29 and here is what I want for my B-Day.
I am part of one messed up generation. I don't know why but my generation are gamers. We are Gen-Gamers. I am turning 29 on May 23 and I am getting a Nintendo DS from my Mom and Dad and I am getting the New Super Mario Brothers from Katie. Did I mention I was turning 29. I guess the only consolation is that I will be able to compete with my children, if I ever let them have a turn.
Here is a peek at the NEW SUPER MARIO BROTHERS coming to the DS.

What a way to go!
This could be the worst way to die.
Plunged into cement, three die in Bal Harbour construction accident
Miami Herald - May 06 12:20 PMPlunged into cement, three die in Bal Harbour construction accident Three workers were killed Saturday when a floor of a condominium under construction in Bal Harbour partially collapsed and plunged them into drying cement. The victims apparently suffocated in the cement, authorities said.
What do you think would be the worst way to die?

ORIGINAL OR UPDATED?
George Lucas is finally putting out the original theatrical version of the star wars trilogy on DVD.
Many people like me are very happy! Lucas is a tweaker, so finally we get to see what we saw the first time, no tweaking!
I want to know which do you prefer. The original or the tweaked version. Tell me why!

Legal versus illegal
Ok I want to put my two cents in on the immigration debate. It is very simple.
1. Legal - Good for you and thank you for contributing to our great nation.
2. Illegal - You are a criminal. You break American Laws. You have no rights, that includes free speech. Go home and learn English and get here legally. Stop protesting, you look like a bunch of uneducated people. You want real results, throw your Mexican flag away and get an American flag. YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS!
I am sick of the protests and I am sick of freeloaders with NO RIGHTS!
ILLEGAL MEANS ILLEGAL!
Thank you!
FYI my ancestors were immigrants too. They came here legally.

Have you ever wondered...
Why are boogers sticky?
No doubt your child is starting a brilliant scientific career with this question!
"Boogers" are made of mucus. Mucus is made by mucus membranes. Your body has mucus membranes in all sorts of places: The stomach, intestines, nose, lungs, eyes, mouth, and the urinary tract all contain mucus membranes that secrete mucus.
Mucus contains mostly water and mucin (during a sinus or lung infection, it also contains dead white blood cells that have been working on the infection -- see How Your Immune System Works for details). It is the mucin that makes it sticky.
Mucin is a branched polysaccharide. If you have read How Food Works, then you know about saccharides -- they are sugar chains. Starch, for example, is a polysaccharide. As you've probably noticed, if you mix corn starch or flour with water, you get a sticky substance. Mucin is doing the same thing. Mucus is essentially a thin paste made of mucin and water.
Show your four-year-old how corn starch and water is sticky (especially as it dries out) and he will be looking at synthetic boogers! Then ask them if they would like to eat it. If they say no, then tell them not to eat their own.

It's EVEN BETTER
My last post I talked about my MP3 car cd player, we'll I pushed the limits and I still could have had more.
I made an ulitimate country cd with 14 country cds that I owned, legally! It was only 623MB a CD can hold 700MB. So I could have had like 17 or 18 CDs on it. But the total of tracks on that CD was 186. AMAZING!

THE MP3 CD Player In My Car and Why It Rocks!
Ok, so you know I got a new car. We'll I am finding out just how awesome my car really is. The CD player in my car is also an MP3 player. You might ask, so? We'll let me tell you so. An MP3 player is just about like having an ipod inside of your car. Here is the low down...
1. Unlike normal Audio CD's instead of maybe 13 to 20 songs on a disk, you can put over 150 on a CD and not lose ANY quality. The difference is that instead of an audio CD it is made into a DATA CD. Since MP3s are WAY smaller in size than any other audio file it allows for more songs, like 140 more songs. Thus it's like an Ipod for your car.
2. My MP3 player in my car actually tells you the songs your are listening to. Not track 1, but it would say Jesus Walks. On normal Cd's it wouldn't do that, it would just say track 1.
3. Folders, or as I call them albums. When you make an MP3 CD using the data format you can organize your music into albums. Take for instance I am combining all of my Sarah McLachlan Cd's into one. With the MP3 cd, you can actually put the music into seperate folders (albums).
So, each album is individual on the disk, (Solace) (Sarah Mclachlan) (Mirror Ball) (After Glow) etc.. Here is were my car player rocks, It has Folder buttons that let me go from Folder (Album) to Folder (Album) and it has all the songs in that Album under it to listen to. IT ROCKS!
So, having an MP3 player in your car is about the coolest thing ever. It's like having a 14 disc cd changer in your car with out all the CDs. Just thought I'd let everyone know.

Down Grading to Up Grade
Ok, so When Katie and I were at OC and we had a lot of extra cash we decided to go out and buy a brand new car. We went with the Nissan Altima, a great car. It was huge and roomy, great interior and exterior. We loved it. The bad part was that in reality we weren't Altima people. We really couldn't afford the Altima at the time and ended up with a 6 year loan. So fast forward 3 years, the Altima isn't as nice as it was, it has over 50,000 miles, and we still have 3 years left on our loan. So Katie and I decided to see if we couldn't get a deal to correct our spontaneous venture 3 years ago. What we wanted was to get out of our Altima and get in a brand new car and have it paid off in 3 years the same we had on our Altima. We were willing to pay more a month to do it, but it had to be paid off in 3 years. So we went to the Ford dealer in town and told them exactly what we were wanting to accomplish. So After test driving the Fusion and the Focus and getting the number crunched, we came up with this. We were able to get the top Focus and have it paid off in 3 years paying only 58 more dollars a month then we were. So now after six years we will have a 3 yr old car instead of a six year old car and it will have 30,000 instead of 90,000. It will also look much better. Then When we buy a new car we will have a much better second car. This way we will only have one car payment for a while. The dealership gave us 2000 over what our Altima was worth. We also saved on inspection and tags and gas since the filled it up. We also will save a lot on gas. So here you go our brand new 2006 Ford Focus, the Down grade to Up grade.
