Somewhere in Georgia

I love IBM. Don't get me wrong, I think they're the best computer company out there. Their notebook computers cannot be beat.

But why, when I call their service department, must the recording mention that the service department is in Georgia, when they guy on the other line has such a thick Middle Eastern accent that he could've been talking Japanese and it wouldn't of made a difference.

The whole problem with the outsourcing thing wasn't that they were taking jobs from Americans, hell they need the money. The problem is the communication. The best part, and it's really no secret, that the outsourcing companies would assign their employees more english sounding names. So all of a sudden, Hamir became Harry.

I

Telecaster that is. I've been playing my Telecaster like crazy, I'm absolutley flipping over the thing, the tone on it is one of a kind. My only gripe about it is that I really got used to my Mustang's SUPER skinny neck. But there's just something about the Tele's tone that can't be beat.

I guess, if I had to put it all in to prospective, is that I'm getting older. My tastes in tones are changing. Don't tell any of my rock buddies or they might kick me out of the club, but...

I DON'T LIKE HUMBUCKERS ANYMORE!

Did anyone here me?! Ok, good. Yeah, I'm really digging single coils. I super regret putting a humbucker in my Jag. What was I thinking? That's the tone! The single coils in a a Jag is like peanut butter and jelly. Oh well, what can you do? All the I do admit the Hotrails in the Mustang sound awesome.

Do you want to know another secret? Well, I used to hate Tele's. Why? Because they had single coils.

Semi-Pooooopular

Wow, I was just checking out my Technoratio Profile and it turns I'm ranked 616,861 out of 2.2 million. Which is AMAZING!

I think. I don't know exactly how Technorati ranks their pages and everything, but if they do it how I think they do it in my head. Then 616,861 is not a bad place to be.

Hell, in my own world, this is as good a being number one!

Post Thanksgiving Massacare

On this wet and foggy post-Thanksgiving day, A.K.A. Black Friday. My body still bloated from the massive ammounts of ham, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese. I hope everyone had a nice evening with the family and such.

I don't like turkey.

One of the best things about TG day is eating at McDonald's the next day. I absolutley love MickeyD's the day after. I don't know why, but something about eating the Golden Arches on Black Friday is a taste like no other, perhaps it's the fact that I know they were closed the previous day and I subconciously crave it. Maybe it's the fact that I really don't like TG day food, but my mouth waters for that first bite of a Big Mac.

So after our 'feast' at the arches. Lila decides she wants to experience the Black Friday madness first hand. So it's off to The Valley Plaza mall. Surprisingly it was pretty quiet in there, the only thing new was the guy who does charcoal artwork of celebrities. Boring.

I stopped writing just for like a good ten minutes so I could finish watching Stephen King's It. Perhaps the worst, yet most frieghtning TV movie ever made. That movie traumatized me when I first seen it. I remember the first time I seen that movie was at Diner's house and I was wearing a tan jumpsuit and we had just finished swimming. Could not sleep for a week I tells 'ya!

The tan jumpsuit thing is a whole different story.

Nope, I’m still alive.

Wow, a super long time since the last post.

Anywho, here's a quick update.

Lila, Mom, Dad, Vince and I went to the Halloween party at the Olympic Collection on Halloween night. A lot of people from the moblogs where there, it was kind of like a mini-Textamerica meet-and-greet. It's pretty fuckin' sweet seeing people in person after learning so much about someone with out actually ever talking to them.

However fun the party may have been, it's quite impossible to have a drunken good time when one mini vodka seven costs $9. That's quite a difference coming from Nini's engagement party where I was buying two decent sized drinks for $11-12.

Hi res picture will be comming soon to the Gallery

Hot Dog Time

So the other day we had a little B-B-Q at J.R. and Ginger's house, nothing fancy just hot dogs and steaks. But ever since I left that night I've been craving hot dogs, not from the 'schnitz though. I'm looking to bite in to a long skinny Nathan's hot dog. The real super crunchy kind.

Also, I have to send my iPod Nano back :( Yeah I'm sad, but I'm not depressed, because I'll be getting a brand spanking new one that doesn't scratch (as easily) yay for me.

That is all.
