I have to use up 4 weeks of PTO at work, and I am never sick. That means I have 4 weeks to burn. Its almost April now and I haven’t used any yet. So I think I’m going to take some time off soon and go back to california and skateboard. My friend Dan lives out in San Jose and said I could stay with him. I have to talk to him before I book my flight. So far the price seems right! The week I plan to go is really cheep. Its the week after april vacation for more HS students. The flight round trip is $260 through expedia.com.* I hope I can check my board on the plane.

How is everyones extra 20 dollars in their paychecks? Pretty sweet.

Its pretty simple, they were made for it. Watch out, I’m gonna start blogging about the ecconomy and what I hate about it over at moneyanswertree.com. I just have so much to say(at the moment) about how I feel about wallstreet and the people there. Some can agree or disagree but I hope its entertaining.

I need to also redo the look of that side and just make it blog style or Q&A style. I would like to make it Q&A style that would be cool, but maybe the focus there is wrong and I need to go in a different direction, we’ll see.

Just posted a new video link on funny4me. First posts in a long time. Its pretty funny. It’s the video of the numa numa guy singing the whos watching me song from the Geico commercials. I love the little gecko in the background.

Got my new snowboard boots today and wore them all night. Pretty sweet. Okay I need to start getting more sleep.

Bored.

It’s been a little while since I last posted. What else is new… I blog a lot on my laptop, it seems like that is what you are supposed to do on a laptop, is mindlessly surf the net and blog. I really should be doing something cool with my new mac like programming in objective-c or learning AS3. Instead I’m watching the end of Leno and thinking about wasting more time playing poker.

It’s been about 2 years since my first deposit into pokerstars.net, and I still have money in there. You might think that’s impressive but its not. I think I was up maybe 1 day. I’ve been way down forever. Just recently I have decided to play more and just run dry and quit. Either I get better and start making money, or let it all run out and not have to kid myself anymore. Since I’ve started to play more serious I’ve gained about 5 bucks. I play the lowest limit games. My friend Ernesto is doing a 100 dollar poker challenge and blogging about it. You can check his updates and see how he’s going. You should tell him to update his bankroll status on the sidebar.

First day of spring! Im gonna clean my car out tomorrow and try to get my wheels straighten. Then get my new tires mounted and maybe put on. I need the potholes to go away before I put my summers on. I might wait a couple more weeks.

I took a nap after work today. Fell asleep at 7 and woke up at 10 and no one woke me up. Now I am wide awake and have no hopes of going to sleep at a reasonable time. Oh well, more time to see if Late Night with Jimmy Fallen will get better.

Has anyone been watching? I feel like he is trying really hard to get his bits to stick with people and its just not working. I would assume that the bits take time to settle, and he is like force feeding you these and they are really lame. Lick it for 10, clearly just a product placement bit driven by advertising and not funny at all. I’ve noticed that the show is stuffed with product placement and is heavily endorsed. I feel like that how all new shows have to go to make money because of tivo and DV-r’s. That macbook he has on his desk at all times is pretty sweet though. I kinda a fan. The huge Sharp LCD is pretty nice too makes green screen shots a thing of the past. Bud light lime waiting room where his guests hang out before they come on stage. I bet there are more endorsements coming. You can also tell he is stealing pages right out of Conan’s book. All that said, I still hope he is successful and the show lasts. I think when he gets more comfortable it will be a decent Late Night show.

3 good days in the market, yay. My IRA transaction didn’t go through yesterday it went through today, because it was after 4pm when I did it. Opps, so I missed out on today’s gains which is not a big deal because IRA is LONG term. I still would have rather bought in at yesterdays close price. I’m predicting a flat day tomorrow, so next week can be another good week. Wish I had the huevos to buy in for a short gain, but I need to be conservative and buy a house.

I missed Thursday night NBC. Good thing I recorded it. I’m gonna go watch it now since I am awake.

I didn’t play SC @ErnestoT.

I’m about to drop more money on new tires from Tire Rack because my tires got toast last season from a blown tie-rod end. If I knew my tires were only going to last 4 months I would have got 18″ OZ’s last season with 18″ tires. It is like half the price to get 18″ wheels and tires as it is to get 19″ wheels and tires. Boy did I make the wrong decision! I also probably have to get my wheels straightened because of pothole damage. Not thrilled about this :-/

I did get my JHM exhaust yesterday. Super happy about that. I can’t wait to put them on. I opened the boxes just to make sure they were ok and fit right. They fit together like they were made together… they were. I’ll post pics and video of that sound once I get it installed.

My friends took me out for dinner. Thanks Dan, Pete and Adam. H.

First of all I finished Rob and Big and I am sad that its all over. I really enjoyed my time with Rob and big the past 3 seasons, or weekends for me. The ending was bittersweet. Now that its over, I don’t know what to do with myself. Maybe I’ll work on something actually.

I met with my friend Leo Shpitalnik to talk about becoming a home owner. We had a good chat about it over some beers and bar food. I am happy to be working with Leo while I am in the market and looking at my options. Leo is affiliated with Keller Williams Realty, located in Chestnut Hill, MA.

I have beef with Citigroup right now. My Shell citi account online somehow got messed up. I can no longer login to their site, and called them up twice. Both of them say I have to re-register my information under a new account name. When I try to do that it says there are problems, and it doesn’t even recognize my 16 digit account number with them. Something got messed up when the government took over that company. I logged in fine last week when they took my last payment.

Apparently I am locked out of the account for 24 hours because of so many failed attempts to login. I guess I will hold my tong until I try after the 24 hours has expired. I did try to login the other night and it failed as well. They never said I would have to re-register my account information under a different name. I can’t imagine I am the only one this is happening to, am I? Seems like a dumb system to just change that on people and not say anything. I’ll keep you posted if anyone cares.

Bed time.

Photos are all posted! Hope the site doesn’t crash with all the traffic. Haha. Some of the best pics are under the people album. Thats where I put all the random funny shots we had that didn’t fit into an event are. Browse that when you are finished finding photos of yourself.

My new JHM exhaust has been shipped! Listen to how it will sound. I think there is some video of drifting in the Audi coming soon. Petebow?

I can’t belive it snowed so much today. On Sat. this past weekend Dan and I played tennis outdoors in shorts. It was nice and sunny, about 40º. Decent weather. I thought winter was over.

Today we had a big storm it was about 2 feet at the end of my driveway and it stuck to my shovel! By the time I got out of work, all the roads were clear and down to pavement. So no drifting or doing donuts tonight.

I gave up on trying to really organize the photos I had. I really wanted to upload them so I put them in more general categories. I am uploading the last group as we speak! Yay. Jared brought up a cool idea, WAN party a slide show of the pics and we can all watch it from our places of residence. Daley in SJ, Jared in DC, Matt and Diana in NYC. It would be cool. I’ll have to see about the technology there and see if it can happen.

Heros… What is going on? Week after week it’s a lame disappointment. :-/ I am clinging on by a thread here. Heros better pick it up or else I’m gonna quit watching. Justin Timberlake is going to be on the first Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. I will probably DV-R that and watch it tomorrow.

Night Daley

March what! Downing Milo’s

So many photos I can’t organize them. I have almost all of them uploaded so I will need a little more time before the photos will show up here. Remember when you check out the photos, you can use your Facebook account to make comments.

I’m on the 3rd season of Rob and Big. show is tight son! haha.

Just went out and stredded parking lots in my car with @twitpetebow

Going to bed late tonight hoping for a delayed opening at my work.
