It's Not The Major, It's Me!

When I was getting my undergrad degree in Engineering, I used to bug my Business major friends that they get it so easy. While most of my engineering buddies and I were busing doing homework on Saturday nights, my business major friends were out having fun.
Now, 5 years later, I am a business major and it's a Saturday night, and I am still doing homework, so I guess it's not the major, its me!

Yeah Right

According to this news article on CNN, Paris Hilton says she will no longer "act dumb." Man, it must be good acting for her to fool those Breathalyzer machines!

TMI

My boss just gave me all the details of his recent colonoscopy... I don't think I will be eating my lunch today.

I'm BACK!!!

Ok, I have taken a long enough break, my last post was more than 4 months ago. Anyways, I will try and blog more regularly, not that anybody ever reads it, but at least this will make feel important and not a total loser.

New Year's Resolution

My new year's resolution is that I will not make any resolutions this year. So far, I am doing good on my resolution.

 

2006 - The Year In Review

January: Got Engaged
February: Bobbee met my family for the first time in San Fran. Surprisingly, they didn't scare her away!
March: Wedding Planning
April: Turned 26
May: Got Married
June: Went on Honeymoon to Maui, Hawaii
July: Moved into a bigger apartment
August: Took a trip to North Carolina
September: Went to Vegas
October: Bought a house
November: First big Thanksgiving dinner at our place
December: Moved into the new house


I don't think I've ever had a more eventful year than 2006. Lets see if 2007 can top that.

Quote Of The Day

"I bought a house, it's a two bedroom house, but I think it's up to me to decide how many bedrooms there are. This bedroom has an oven in it. This bedroom has a lot of people sitting around watching TV. This bedroom is over in that other guy's house."

(Mitch Hedberg)

Nigerian Puppy Scam

Bobbee and I have been thinking about getting a baby brother or sister for our little puppy. Since we are both usually not at home all day, we thought it would be nice to get a little play mate for our pup so he is not bored alone at home all day. We found an ad in Tucson classifieds about a 9 week old Yorky pup for sale, so yesterday, I emailed that person asking about details. When I checked my email this morning, I had an email waiting for me in my inbox. Here is an excerpt from the email:

"Due to the nature of my job & my religion,i am a pastor that works for pastor chris oyakilome and i work for him part-termly & also i am into international contracts (sales and supply of Fabrics)so i'm in Nigeria, the puppy is also here with me and because there is nobody to take good care of the puppy for me here, so I decided to sell the puppy. So if you are interested let me know by forwarding your full name and address so that i can arrange for the shipping and i want you to promise me that you will take good care of the baby and you will keep me update with current pics. Puppy will be deliver nextday after shipping, with express shipping service."

This is so sad. I mean, first the Nigerian government froze the assets of rich uncles with unpronounceable names and now people have no other choice but to sell their puppies. What kind of a world do we live in?


P.S: I did notify the Secret Service and Yahoo customer service (because the scammers were using a Yahoo account) about this puppy scam. Hopefully they will disable that account before some naive old woman transfers her whole life savings to those Nigerian a-holes.

 

The Crusades Agaist Religion

I read an interesting (but incredibly long) article in Wired magazine about Atheism. Though I do not classify myself as an atheist, this article does make a few good points about religion and religious people:

- How can people believe in their religion when science has disproved so many of its claims (such as Evolution, the creation of earth, etc etc)

- Can the human civilization survive unless all religion are eradicated? If you think about it, nearly all the wars and conflicts (except for the North Korean issue) in the present time have religious under text (Afghanistan, Iraq, Kashmir, Bosnia, Sudan, Sri Lanka, Philippines etc etc).

- Would people be less inclined to be religious if they were not pressured by the people around them?

Anyways, it's an interesting article, but I won't recommend reading it if you are sentimental about your religion and don't like it if people disagree with your opinion.

Wake Me Up When September Ends...

It's been a while since my last post. In the past 20 days, I got another job, scored my first ever run in Softball while straining my upper thighs in the process, went to Vegas for 4 days with my wife, decided not to take the other job, almost broke one of my fingers because I thought Softball mitts are for wusses and bought my first house. Needless to say, the past few days have been kinda crazy. But, I am back now and hopefully I will be posting useless crap on a regular basis again.
Here are the Vegas pics
