Get over yourselves...

I had the day off from work today so I met Steph for lunch. We went to TGIFriday's. It was good. I did however notice this guy at another table next to us that was wearing his bluetooth earpiece while not on a call.

I thought to myself "how pretentious". This guy must think he's muy importante. I have news for you sir. You didn't get a singal call while you were eating lunch with your family. You are not that important. Take the f**king thing off. I hate them...

F You Michael Vic

Are you serious, dude? Do you think that anyone thinks that this is a sincere apology? Please, don't insult my intelligence. I know you've got the public image machine behind you coaching you on everything you say to try and preserve the empire which you have so undeservingly accumulated (refer to Bill Cosby posting).

Let's take a look at some highlights of this "apology":

"I want to apologize to all the young kids out there for my immature acts and, you know, what I did was, what I did was very immature so that means I need to grow up."

No shit, homey. Way to learn something that normal people learn when they are 12. Stupid.

"I totally ask for forgiveness and understanding as I move forward to bettering Michael Vick the person, not the football player."

Totally. Please move forward. We all want you to move forward. Fucking retard.

"I'm upset with myself, and, you know, through this situation I found Jesus and asked him for forgiveness and turned my life over to God. And I think that's the right thing to do as of right now."

IMHO, the worst part of all of this. Don't bring your new found spirituality into this. It's like someone becoming spiritual on their deathbed. Where was god or god's voice when you were doing these things? Where was God when you were blessed with an a$$load of money and a privileged lifestyle that most of us dream of our entire lives? Not there, huh? Just when you get caught? Fuck off.

Again, stop insulting our intelligence. You haven't found anything other than you got caught and now you are fucked and need to spin this in the best was possible for you. Go to hell.

"I got a lot to think about in the next year or so."

A lifetime's worth.

"So I got a lot of down time, a lot of time to think about my actions and what I've done and how to make Michael Vick a better person."

A perfect ending to a perfect engineered apology. Blow me, oh, and everyone else when you are in jail while you are at it.

Still thinking this now? Eat it, bitch.

Fun weekend

I thought I would take a break from work for a few to write about the weekend. This weekend was a lot of fun. We spent some good times with some good friends.

Friday night, we didn't do much. These days, we are both so tired on Friday nights that we usually just have a chill night at home.

Saturday, we went to Costco in the morning to pick up some stuff then we had around 20 people over for the UFC pay per view. They didn't leave until around 1am or so. We had tons of food and a lot of laughs.

Sunday, we went to this place called Hamilton Pool just east of Austin with Julie and Jimmy. That was really a lot of fun. I liked it a lot better than Barton Springs b/c the ground isn't all slimey and gross.

Sunday night, Nik came over and we watched Lucky Number Slevin. Pretty good movie if you like retribution type stuff.

Back to the grind today though...

You go Bill Cosby...

Preface: The following was said by Bill Cosby, not me. I do, however agree and support what he is saying 100%. Think about it.

They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English.  I can't even talk the way these people talk:
Why you ain't,
Where you is,
What he drive,
Where he stay,
Where he work,
Who you be...

And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.
And then I heard the father talk.
Everybody knows it's important to speak English
except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor
with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.

In fact you will never get any kind of job making a
decent living. People marched and were hit in the
face with rocks to get an education, and now
we've got these knuckleheads walking around.

The lower economic people are not holding up
their end in this deal.
These people are not parenting.  They are buying
things for kids. $500 sneakers for what ? ?
And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.
I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit.
Where were you when he was  2  ?  
Where were you when he was 12 ? 
Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol ? ?
And where is the father ?  Or who is his father ?
People putting their clothes on backward:
Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?
People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something ? 
Or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up ?
Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body?
What part of Africa did this come from?
We are not Africans.  Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing about Africa .
With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap, and all of them are in jail. 
Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem.
We have got to take the neighborhood back. 

People used to be ashamed.  Today a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' -- or men or whatever you call them now.
We have millionaire football players who cannot read.   

We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs.  We, as black folks, have to do a better job.  Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us.
We have to start holding each other to a higher standard. 

We cannot blame the white people any longer.

-- Dr. William Henry "Bill" Cosby, Jr., Ed.D.

Weekend Recap

This weekend, was non-eventful. That, is not a bad thing by any means. We did a lot of sitting around and relaxing, which, was much needed.

Friday night, we didn't do much. I think we went out for dinner at Tony's, then went food shopping.

Saturday, we slept in a little bit. I made us breakfast, then Steph did some shopping ( tax free weekend ) and I went to Kung Fu.

When we got back, we went to Fresh Choice for food, then went to see StarDust. Now, I thought that it was gonna be just OK, but this movie was really good. It made us both think of a Prince's Bride.

Yesterday was lawn mowing day. My head got sunburned. No one had fun, but the lawn looks nice now... for another week. Also, we watched 300. Steph got it for me when I was in Boston. I love that freaking movie.

I wish I could devote my life to training and being awesome... but no... I have to "work"... lame...

So sad...but...


Utah Mine Rescuers Halt Search After 3 Deaths - New York Times

We have all seen this. If you have cable/satellite and have passed by CNN, you have definitely seen this and... most likely now have a very intimate understanding of mining.

Look. I am not trying to take away from the tragedy of what happened to these guys. No one deserves to die in a mine like that ( well, maybe some, but that's another post ), but, I don't need a repeating 9 hour dissertation on the history of mining from CNN. I also don't need:
  • Schematics
  • Maps
  • 3D Models
  • Timelines
  • Prior related events
So, in short, just give me the god damn story and move on. It must suck to be a program director for a 24 hour news channel...

I am now delayed and waiting in the Logan airport in Boston, MA.

Overall the 3 days in Boston/Westford were pretty good. I spent most of the time in Westford though. I got to meet a lot of of people that I have worked with for the past 2.8 years, but have never met. It was really nice. My only regret is that I barely got to see Boston at all. I didn't take a single picture.

My presentation was OK. Some good point, some not so good. When I practiced my routine, it was 45-50 minutes long. When I actually got up to present, it only took me 30 minutes. I think I got sort of nervous because a lot more people showed up than I was expecting. I was thinking that 10-20 people would show up, but no... it was more like 63 or so.

All is well though, I got good reviews, so I am happy.

In other news, I am very eager to see my family. I still have about 2 hours until my flight leaves, which kind of sucks. I miss Steph and wish she was here...

Sunday, August 05, 2007

Today is my 1st day in Boston. It's a pretty nice city. It reminds me of home.

My flight was good. No hiccups...

When I got to Logon, I saw Nick and Kyle. We changed up the car plans a bit and ended up taking a shuttle the hotel. After a company sponsored dinner and open bar, we went to the movies. All in all a good night. I just wish Steph was here.
