Never stop, never quit, get it done.
Well, today makes it official…I finished up my work at St. Philips College and got an associates degree only to be accepted at the University of Texas at San Antonio to get my bachelors! I’m once again a Roadrunner! When I graduated high school I got my college start there and however how short that time was and long story that was, Im extremely excited to be back. It feels surreal really, a bit of dejavu mixed in with the unknown. I’m not far off from my goal, and going to make this the best thing ever.
Also, next year my school is going to start to participate in one of my favorite past-times, FOOTBALL! The road runners kick off in 2011! I can’t wait to be there (in my season ticket seats) cheering them on for the kick-off to there great program which is headed by a former national championship coach! So excited!
Keeping it Weird…Al
I got to go see one of the best concerts of all time…a true concert. Weird Al was back in San Antonio and rocked the majestic once again! This time we were able to score a bunch of tickets so we got a bunch of us to go and had a BLAST. If you haven’t seen his concert i highly recommend seeing him when you can. Not only does he have good music, he provides real entertainment to include costume changes every song and funny interlude videos. Real fun for the whole family. I wish I could see him again…already…whether its smells like nirvana, amish paradise, fat, or all about the pentiums he knows how to rock it. Even gets all up in the faces of the ladies in the audience…so funny. Check these out:
Gimme! Gimme! My iPhone 4
I have been waiting a long time (see my iPhone 3G post) for the next best iPhone. Well, its finally here and I have it in my hands!! It’s AMAZING. I love my new phone! I decided to wait a generation and I’m happy I did. I’ll keep my review for another post, but can you imagine what that’s going to look like? 
Chad, Daniel, and I woke up extremely early and got to the mall many hours before the launch and found ourselves back in line about 100 people! but it didn’t take long for more to file in. Not to worry though, when it was time, with our reservations we were in front of the line. Enjoying free tacos and water, they really hyped up the experience we were in and out in no time. I had it in my hands and ready to go forth and prosper.
Now I have to sell my iPad so I can get the new one…anyone interested? LOL
Celebrating with indulgence.
I got to go to dinner with some friends to celebrate two birthdays tonight and I had a blast. We went to the melting pot, my first time their, and it was very cool. Some great food, conversation, and as you can see an amazing dessert. You didn’t see the oreo and snickers chocolate sauce to dip with….are you with me now? MMMMMM…..
Wow, An amazing day…
Catching my breath from such a great day, today was one of the greatest days ever. I was apart of something really special. My best friend Chad and his new wife Zahra were married! It’s hard to believe it’s here, a whirlwind the last year. I’ve just had a blast in the days leading up to this, writing my best man speech (freaking out about it), spending time with family and friends and made many new ones!
After seeing them off tonight I cannot help but reflect on what was just a happy amazing day. Even with little challenges everything went smoothly and everyone had a great time!
Even though I was so nervous, I didn’t horrible wreck my speech, and actually got some nice comments back on it. Can’t wait to see it once the video comes in. I also can’t wait to see all the pictures from today i know they will look great. I managed to snap a few pics when I could. As you can see just a perfect day.
Congrats again to my best friends Chad and Zahra! Enjoy that honeymoon!!
Wishing the best!
I wanted to give a shout to my Best Friend Chad, and I am very excited for him and his fiancee Zahra on their upcoming wedding! So exciting I can’t wait, as I’ve been asked to be the best man. I am ready to Roast err… Toast him on their day.
Today Chad, Zahra, and I attended the Dave Ramsey seminar on becoming debt-free, while having a blast, I got to share with more than just them my wishes for success in their future.
It’s a repeat! The B Team take the Fantasy Football championship again!
I’ve been the commish since I founded the league four seasons ago, it’s about time I pass over the reigns. It will be nice to be able to relax and not deal with whiney babies! Perhaps ill actually have the time to sit and study for a three-peat dynasty; or that could be my downfall. You never know.
MacHeist 3
The heist has already begun! It’s that time for MacHeist 3!
At this point there has already been a few microMissions and a full Mission, at this point we are awaiting the next mission…but some great apps have already been had!
This time around the Directorate has placed everyone on teams and implemented a points system on the site which points are earned by participation on the site. While we don’t know what the points are for just yet, its been great to get involved in the community on the forums, in the IRC, listening to the podcasts, and getting to know other heisters.
For those of you who are Mac users and aren’t aware of MacHeist. It’s a community of mac users and developers who participate in planned events by the MacHeist Directorate coordinating puzzles and missions for community users to complete for free fully licensed mac applications.
Also, at the end of the Heist, the Directorate releases a ‘bundle’ of applications for sale. The bundle is basically a bunch of mac applications rounded up and sold at a very discounted rate. So instead of going out and purchasing each application for full price, users can purchase these apps all at once for cheap. In turn, the developers, who make there apps apart of the bundle are promoting their applications by selling a very large amount of them cheaper thus for some increasing profit they would have not gained otherwise and hopefully increase the user base that will pay to upgrade the applications as they are updated with new versions and features.
All around a great program that comes around about once a year, it’s a lot of fun being part of the community and the mystery of the heists. Best of all, you get free useful (most of them) apps.
If you have yet to check it out, it’s definitely worth it! Explore the heist here.
These are just a few of my favorite things.
As we get closer to the holiday season; its important to remember the most important things. Friends, Family, and GIFTS! Gifts are supposed to be about the little things, the things we never think about, the thing we don’t depend on. Yet, presents have become big things, things we dream about, and desperately depend on.
Surely, everyone has been on on good and bad ends of gift giving. Receiving that ugly christmas sweater or even better giving that ugly christmas sweater. I came across a video the other day that completely got me into the season and I want to share it with you so you can feel the christmas fever too.
So to bring us into the season we have a great video which in my opinion captures the true spirit of christmas. The guys at Vimeo always do a great job at keeping us entertained and this time is no different. A few of them came up with a tribute to all things holiday sweater.
Without further ado I share with you: The Holiday Sweater Song.
P.S. Is that a cameo by Matt and Aaron from Blame Society? Right on!
