Year: 2006

If some of you guys were unable to access my blog, it was because Tinball Networks, a company my friend owns, who I greatfully appreciate is hosting my sites, was performing some maintenance on the webservers. The changes/upgrades enabled some backend feature for me, which is great.

I also had a chance to update this site a bit and cleaned up some links and organized my file structure for this blog. I also realize that on May 28th will be the one year anniversery for this site. It’s nothing to get excited about. To think of it, I didn’t even like the concept of having a weblog, having everyone in the world reading your stuff wasn’t my cup of tea. Well, my opinion’s changed, and I think it’s fun sharing stories, files, and plain ‘ol venting on issues that pisses me off.

It’s finally warm and sunny outside. The last few days were almost perfect for going to the beach. Summer is just around the corner, and I just can’t wait.

I’ve been busy with work lately and haven’t put in as much running as I wanted to, but I did manage to keep a steady diet, well sort of. It’s about two weeks now and I’ve lost about 8 lbs. That’s pretty good for the small amout of running I’ve been doing. I also started biking again, but it’s still not enough. Anyone living in South San Jose area should try biking up Silver Creek road coming from Blossom Hill, it’s a doozy. I’ve done it several times. It’s great if you want to get a good leg workout and if you want to sweat by the gallons.

What’s even more gnarly this week is that my laptop that I ordered came in on Monday. It’s a Dell XPS m1710. It’s Dell’s flagship gaming notebook. Mine is equipped with a Centrino Core Duo 2.0 Ghz, 2 GB of Ram, 17″ LCD, and last but not least, a the Mobile Geforce 7900 GTX. This laptop is so bad ass that it eats it other laptops for breakfast, figuratively speaking of course. To think of it, I have this awesome gaming machine with no awesome game to take advantage of it. I guess I’ll have to pick one up soon. In the mean time, I can load this monster up with some high quality porn. Just kidding… even if I did it would look great on this high contrast LCD screen.

I got the weekend off so I will have a chance to mess around with my new toy. With some luck, I’ll even have some time to put in some good running. One more thing before I finish this entry. Anyone been to Forbes Mill? It’s a steakhouse in Los Gatos. I hear it’s great. Maybe I can check that place out over the weekend, anyone up for it?

Event:
John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas in November 22, 1963.

What the conspirators want you to believe:
Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination. He alone committed this gruesome crime.

My Theory:
Lee Harvey Oswald didn’t act alone. He was a hired gunmen / assassin. Oswald defected from the U.S. and moved to Russia in the late 1950s. Where he applied his US Marine skills to Soviet military training to become a lethal killing machine. Once trained and prepared, the Soviets sold Oswald’s skills to Fidel Castro of Cuba. In retaliation of the Bay of Pigs invasion, Castro was going to use Oswald’s skill to assassinate JFK. After hearing what Castro was going to use Oswald for, the Soviet broke all ties with Cuba. The Soviet then sent a secret team to infiltrate to the US to cover any of their tracks that could be traced back to Russia.

Believing that Oswald was backed by mother Russia he continued with Castro’s plan. Unknowingly, the Soviet secret team and the Mafia has sabotage every step of the plan leaving no trace of any Soviet ties. Hence, in the end Oswald was killed the next day on live television by Jack Ruby, who has close ties with the Mafia and incidentally has a Russian military past.

My friend Malik and I hit up the Bernal hills today for some muddy mountain biking.

I’ve been quite busy this month with work and other stuff. I finally have a day off work tomorrow and hopefully I can catch up on some movies and enjoy a sunny weekend.

I got jury duty next week so we’ll see how that goes. This is my first time. I dont’ know what to expect so any tips and stories about your experiences with it would be appreciated :-D.

American Idol – This season was my first year watching this reality show. There was nothing else to watch, so I caught an episode somewhere at the beginning of the season. To my surprise the show is funny. Simon, one of the three judges, verbally humiliates practically all the contestants. His statements are opinionated which is what it’s suppose to be since he’s a judge, but many times they’re so true. If you haven’t watched the show yet, better wait till next season. Just watching Simon talk mad trash about all those people alone is worth it.

CSI – I’m a big detective show fan, and CSI has it all; drama, action, and great stories/episodes. What’s great about CSI is that you can just watch any episodes from any one season and it would be a good. But if you follow the entire series its even better has the future episodes tie into past ones. Each character on the show has a unique past which gives the show so much depth. The show is on its 6th or 7th season and it’s still one of the top shows out there.

House – I was never really into any of those doctor/hospital TV shows, but House is an exception. The show is about an egotistical arrogant doctor named Gregory House. He gets the weirdest patients with the weirdest diseases, sickness, and conditions and House has to figure out the cause and a remedy/cure for it. In the process he finds something shocking about the patient or their family and friends. What’s cool about the show is that House is crippled and needs a cane to walk, yet he rides a badass 2005 Honda 1000RR Repsol replica motorcycle.

South Park – Matt Stone and Trey Parker are geniuses. Everyone should know this show. Four fouled mouth kids who live in a town called South Park experiences outlandish and usually over exaggerated pop culture events. Everything you can think of has happened in South Park. The show is a breath of fresh air for those who are tired of the political correctness of our society.

Family Guy – Its humor is a bit esoteric at times, but if you have been following the show since it’s inception you know how good it is and where their jokes originate. Family Guy is the first show ever to be resurrected and uncancelled due to record sales of their DVDs. Similar to South Park, Family Guy delves into many of the political correctness of our society and does so in a comedic tongue-in-cheek fashion.
