Got It!

Line Behind Me

At Best Buy.

Rock Band Line at Best Buy

I'm sitting in line waiting for the release of the game "Rock Band" for my Xbox 360. Some guy just drove by us saying "look at all those people with no boyfriends and no girlfriends" while his girlfriend sat cackling in the car. I hope they miss a McDonald's breakfast tomorrow by 30 seconds, that will show them!

Oh, I'm about the 15th person in line, and the Best Buy guy said they should have like 50 Xbox 360 bundles in stock, so I should be good to go!

Microwaved Cheese Omelet

I made this omelet in the microwave at work. Many people don't know you can make some good scrambled eggs in the microwave. I learned that from my little brother back in the day.

Rock Band Demo

That's a picture of me holding the drumsticks for the PS3 version of the Rock Band demo in a local WalMart. The drums took me the whole Weezer song, "Say It Ain't So" to get the hang of, and I was on my lunch break so I had to hurry. From what I played though, this thing is a must-buy for me.

I just found out the Best Buy in South Tampa will have a midnight release of the game, so I'll probably be there to get it in time to show it off on Thanksgiving. See you there!

Super Target

Across the street from our house.

Neck Cut

I got a haircut at Big League Haircuts on Hillsborough in Tampa, and this is what I come back with. The chick cutting my hair was trying to give me a close shave on the back of my neck with her clippers. Normally I appreciate this, but this woman just wouldn't take my apron off to get down further, so not only was she choking me, but she managed to burn/cut my skin as you see here.

Yes I still tipped her, but I shouldn't have. :(

Happy Christmas

Man, I just love to see these red Starbucks cups, they remind me of Christmas which is always great.

When I used to work in downtown Chicago, it was very rare to walk around and not catch a glimpse of one of these red cups, but I swear some people viewed it as a status symbol. I'll take my Dunkin' Donuts any day, thank you very much.

Happy Friday!

September 11th Prayer

I was just wondering if there were any prayers out there to remember the September 11, 2001 tragedy and I found this one at http://www.appleseeds.org/9-11_prayer.htm by a Navy Chaplain:

 

Almighty God, the past year will be indelibly inscribed in our memories.

We looked with horror on the terrorist attacks of last September 11th.
But we looked with honor on acts of courage by ordinary people
who sacrificed themselves to prevent further death and destruction.

We shed our tears in a common bond of grief for those we loved and lost.
We journeyed through a dark valley, but your light has led us to a place of hope.
You have turned our grief into determination.
We are resolved to do what is good, and right, and just.

Help us to remember what it means to be Americans—
a people endowed with abundant blessings.
Help us to cherish the freedoms we enjoy and inspire us to stand
with courage, united as one Nation in the midst of any adversity.

Lord, hear this prayer for our Nation. Amen.
