Its Almost December! Whoa!

SOrry for my lack of blog updates lately. Been busy. Well kinda sorta….Been hitting up hockey games. Got season tix ya know lol. Hopefully those of you that celebrate Thanksgiving had a nice holiday and didnt eat too much. Two plates of food total for me. Can’t pig out! So anyways, nothing really new in my neck of the woods. Just chillin and enjoying life. I can tell you one thing…..I did NOT participate in the Black Friday sales. That shit is fucked up. Really! I mean some psycho woman pepper sprayed some people for a fucking XBOX 360 Kinect, someone stabbed another person because they wanted their spot in line, people getting robbed out in the parking lots…..etc. It’s fuckin nuts. Like George Carlin always said…..There are 3 kinds of people in this world….Stupid, full of shit and fuckin nuts. Black Friday shoppers are all three! lol…

IM not even sure who all reads my blogs anymore. Maybe just a few select folks. Im sure most of you that read them are people I know. Then I have those that read my blogs and dont even respond. Kinda sucks. I mean I come on here to voice my opinions and fucked up thoughts and no one really comments but the same folks. Oh well. Fuck it. IM not going to beg people for comments.

So ive been in the festive mood lately. Got a small ass xmas tree up. NO really….its small. lol. I even got a cheesy ass stocking out and some other small shit. Kinda getting back on the subject of shopping, I dont plan to hit up these stores until the madness ends. Of course I know the stores will be busy but eventually all the Black Friday/weekend sales will be over and stuff will go back to more normal pricing. Of course I dont mind going shopping with my female friends because well….im fuckin good at it. As I type this I am checking a website for a company I get stuff from to get a couple of Android tablets. No tax! Yeah you gotta have a reseller license for that. There is also this really cool R/C Helicopter im looking at. $34 bucks and its normally alot more. Might snag one. They only got 9 in stock.

So anyways, im fucking bored right now. Im fucking horny and I neeed some damn pussy. Yeah im quite straight forward about it. FUck it. I mean its a natural thing. I just really want to grab some girl put her in doggie grab her neck and fuck the shit out of her….slap that ass and well…get kinky. Was supposed to skydive over this weekend but had some bullshit happen so I had to cancel my plans for my jump. Oh well, many other opportunities to jump. Can’t wait til I can get my AFF license so I dont have to tandem anymore!

SO im sitting here watching TV and this Trojan Vibrations commercial comes on. LOL. This shit is funny. Supposedly this thing is for women. Im sure a woman will get off more with a Hitachi or big ass dildo. You know I was listening to Playboy Radio the other day and its true…I dont see why many men get bitchy when it comes to women and toys. So what if your woman has one and wants to use it. In fact pull that mother fucker out and use it on her. THen fuck her brains out! lol. I mean what woman really enjoys hopping in a bed, taking her panties off and saying “ok im ready, fuck me.” Thats lame bullshit. Sex needs to be fuckin kinky. I laugh actually when women think porn is gross. WTF do they think it is when they fuck their husbands/boyfriends?? Your basically making porn….its just not being filmed….or is it??!? LOL.

So, yeah thats about it for now. Just takin it easy like the Eagles say. Actually watching Fletch right now on VH1HD. Old Chevy Chase moofies rock. Yeah i said moofies….lol bite me! Well, thats about it for now. I will blog again very soon. Give me a week or so to do something interesting. =)

So I leave you with a hot pic of rockstar porn….lol

The End Has Come

Many know that for years I have worked for bands. Few weeks ago I made my last trip ever. We went to Rio for Rock in Rio 2011. It was awesome. Had shows on 23rd and 25th. Met Katy Perry on 23rd. She is sooooo cool.

So now I really don’t what else I will be doing. I guess enjoying life and shit. Skydiving, traveling and what not. A friend of mine is getting married next August in Pittsburgh so ill probably head up there for the social event of the season…..NOT lol.

I spend my time these days relaxing and listening to SirusXM radio. Yeah Playboy and Spice radio lol. Its just great not to mention funny some of the stuff they talk about. One can only take so much of nothing before it gets boring so im sure I will find something else to do that will keep me busy.

For now, I am going to enjoy the upcoming holidays and the cooler weather. Im feeling back in my element now. Its getting cooler and NHL season has finally begun. Yes GO LA Kings! lol. and as always I cant wait til Xmas Eve when they will show my fav holiday movie all day…..yep A Christmas Story with Ralphie! lol.

The most shocking thing I heard lately was the death of Apple giant Steve Jobs. Didn’t see that coming. Of course though Apple will not suffer from this loss. True the market is shitty right now. Believe me, my Forex trading isn’t very profitable lately either! lol. A new product out for them in a week will bring much revenue. In fact many tech companies will be profiting from the holiday sales very soon. Still though, shocking on the death of Steve Jobs. Even though Bill Gates is no longer in charge at Microsoft and now Steve gone, the world of computer technology won’t be the same.

So for now I say peace out. Sorry for the lack of posts over the last month or so. I will be back with more in the coming week! ooooooh I just saw a yummy lasagna on the tv….shit im hungry now. lol. Ok I bid you all well for now until next time!

Steve Jobs 1955-2011

First off many know I am not an Apple fan by any means. Therefore I really can’t say anything about Steve Jobs that will fascinate you. With his death days ago I had to stop all the teasing because it just wasn’t right to do. I still won’t be an Apple fan but I will give my sypathy to his family on his death.

I guess thats why he decided to step down as CEO in order to enjoy what was left of his life. Makes me wonder why a man with all the money couldn’t get treatment for his situation. Then again I guess it was at a point where it was untreatable. I dont know. Im sure others do. Like i say though, I didn’t follow the life of him.

He did create a kick ass Apple IIe computer which I remember creating stupid loop programs and shit back in elementary school. lol. Thats about all I can say. Out of respect for his family and his followers I simply wanted to post this to pay respects to the innovator he was and will continue to be. I can’t see myself paying that much for a laptop but then again I am a PC guy so those that like MACs im sure will continue to enjoy his products. For those that do, thats the biggest tribute to the man they could do.

It is true that many of his ideas were incorporated in the computers we use today. I guess I grew to like computers because of that Apple IIe tan colored big ass computer LOL.

So as I end this, thanx Steve Jobs.

On a humorous note: look at those old pics of Steve when he had long hair, beard and glasses……I swear he resembles Ben Javhari from the Short Circuit movies (played by Fisher Stevens) lol

RIP Steve

Android…

Ive blogged in the past on my craptastic adventures with unlocking and jailbreaking friends apple iphones and ipods but i never really have taken much consideration on blogging about the Android OS. Android is my OS of choice and I have quite a few interesting things to post about it. Of course I wont do all of that right now but I might start blogging a bit about this as well. Many know that I use the HTC HD2 which to me is about the best phone ive ever owned. This thing can run just about any OS including Linux and Windows 7!!! All I am running though is WinMo 6.5 and Android Gingerbread.

I rooted my phone and decided to go with the CyanogenMod7 builds. Popularly known now as the AmeriCanAndroid build.

One of my favorite spots to visit is http://www.xda-developers.com A great site devoted to hacking all different models of cell phones. Anyone interested in a rooted build of Android for their HD2 or your Android device please check out the following links:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11417869

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/

The builds I use are ran from the Micro SD Card as WinMo is the main OS so backing up and installing new builds of Android is fairly easy. Of course if anyone decides to go to these links and try it for yourself I suggest backing up your phone data before doing so and formatting your Micro SD Card.

NAND versions of Android are also available where you don’t need to use the card. I have not decided to take the step in flashing Android to my phone just yet. I keep WinMo just in case!

For my WinMo build I use the custom build

Anyways, if anyone has questions about running Android on your HTC HD2 I suggest checking the above links as your questions and easily be answered there.

O K i am going to bed now. My bunk is calling my name and I need a lil sleep!!

Houston We Have A Problem….

the famous phrase used to depict a problem in NASA’s space program. I was so busy today I didnt have time to hear the news or watch it so when I had some free time I read that Houston was passed up to receive a NASA Space Shuttle. This in many ways angers me. Being from Houston Texas I believe that the people of Houston deserved to have one of these pieces of American history. Johnson Space Center located in Houston is where all of the shuttle missions have been commanded. They lauched in Florida but everything was ran in Houston. Well I should say still is since there is one flight left.

I think the City of Houston was passed up for many reasons. One being the construction. Houston has a never-ending array of construction on roads. This has been going on for years. I was in high school when some of these projects began and yet today as a 35 year old man these projects are still ongoing. Makes it hard for travelers to go to the city and enjoy the day. Also, Houston is not considered a tourist attraction city. Considering the State of Texas and Houston being the largest city in the state, one would expect it to have numerous attractions. Sadly, Houston does not. Once the home of Astroworld, an amusement park with rides and such. Now that area is vacant. Supposedly sold to be made into more condominiums and apartments catering to the rich doctors and such that work in the medical district of the city. Houston has a large stadium called Reliant. This of course is by far no tourist attraction. Although many events take place there and the shitty Houston Texans football team, if you can call them one, plays there there is nothing special about this venue. The only real attractions Houston has to offer is The musuems. Again, nothing fancy and yet parking for the museum and the adjacent zoo is quite difficult and far too few spots to park.

Most people that are not from Houston won’t really have much to say on this issue but the people of Houston in part and the employees of NASA at JSC are disappointed that no Orbiter will make its final home in the most humid city in America! Well, i think it is! HA HA! Many argue about Los Angeles getting one and then New York. Well, I really can’t say much for New York but Los Angeles does have ties to the shuttle. In fact, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is based in the Los Angeles area. Engineers that design and work on the functions of shuttle components and such work there. So its not really too much of a shock that California would be a home to Endeavour.

We look at the east coast of the United States and we see that three Orbiters will make their home there. One in New York, another in the Smithsonian and…….at Kennedy Space Center. This is where I have mixed thoughts as well. First, I understand that the Space Shuttle launched from Kennedy. The Assembly Building is also there where the Shuttle was put together and prepared for space flight. Everything from the SRBs to the External Tank. Since beginning of space exploration with the Shuttle Kennedy has been then primary and only location for the Shuttle. Houston taking control of flight functions and Telemetry. Sorry if I am confusing you with these terms but I have studied the Space Shuttle in-depth and know quite a bit about its basic functions. Kennedy would be a shoe in to get an Orbiter as many would say but if you think about it, it seems a bit selfish that Kennedy Space Center would keep a Shuttle there rather than in the location where it all begins. Houston is where astronauts train. Those entering the training program leaving their homes across the country and the world to go to Houston to train and learn the functions of zero gravity and space flight. I enjoy watching the NASA channel. Its so informative. So when I heard the news that Houston was passed up for a Shuttle it really pissed me off. Many say that it would be a fitting memorial to those that died in the Challenger explosion and the disintegration of Columbia but Houston does have a place called Challenger Park which is a memorial to those astronauts that lost their lives. Still though, many would argue that that is not enough. I can agree and disagree with this.

Many will have mixed emotions on this. As I sit here in my bus and watch the news I hear people speaking about the Shuttles as if they don’t really give a damn. Others that say their cities should not have received an Orbiter. Ive read the news from ABC 13 in Houston on their website and I can see why the people of Houston are upset. The history of the Space Program is Houston. Houston is Space City. Just look at Houston. Besides the soccer and football teams, professional sports teams in Houston are named after space affiliations. The Houston Astros, Houston Rockets, Houston Aeros….etc! In fact the Eighth Wonder of the World which now sits vacant but was once the iconic median for Houston is also named similarly. The Houston Astrodome was the home of the Houston Astros and former Houston Oilers (now the Tennessee Titans). It also was the home of the yearly Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. One of the largest rodeo events in the world! So with that said, it is quite easily seen why many residents of Houston are upset over this issue. The sad truth to this all is that the decision is final. Even the most bickering and petitioning of this will not bring a Shuttle to the City of Houston but one thing the people of Houston can take pride in is that Houston is where the Space Program operated. Without Command Center Houston there would not have been a Space Program to begin with. That is something that NO ONE even the United States Government and all the shitty politics can take away from Houstonians. Houston, yes there may be a problem but just remember, the talented individuals that command our space exploration and flights train in Houston and many even live there now. That’s something to be proud of no matter how you look at it because honestly, your Houston Texans will NOT be a super bowl team and nor will the Astros be winning a World Series title anytime soon!!

So rather than bitch and be upset about the Space Shuttle, do something positive and support the Houston Aeros Hockey Team in the AHL Playoffs!!! Kick some ass guys and beat the Indiana Rivermen!!!

I want to leave you with one of my favorite pictures. Photo Courtesy of NASA

Whats the Deal….

Well first off let me apologize to those that actually come here to read my blogs. I have been a bit busy lately and traveling of course. Before that spending time with a great friend…..she knows who she is! =) …. Ive really just been enjoying life the best I can. In fact im sitting here in my hotel room in Raleigh NC enroute to Greensboro tomorrow. Just sitting here typing this up to post. Ive been spending time with a good friend. Shopping, having lunch…You know stuff like that. I tend to be a great shopper and pick the good shit for her….lol not to say I could do that for anyone else. I mean I would have to know what all a woman liked pretty fucking well in order to do this for anyone else. Anyways, ive also been keeping up with my favorite hockey team. That being the Los Angeles Kings. Just watched the game tonight on my laptop using NHL Gamecenter and shit wouldnt you know we fucking lost. Then again it was against Vancouver Canucks. We had a good game going then in the 3rd the Kings just quit on offense. No offense on SOGs and nothing but 3 on 1 with SOG opportunities. Oh well. We got a playoff spot secured for the most part. Our next or shall I say last 5 games are all divisional match-ups.

So yeah with that said, I really dont have much to talk about really. We all know that gas prices are high. I mean it is almost summer. We are already in Spring…Well for those of you that are reading this and are in North America! lol. I was watching the news the other day while sitting in my hotel room in Fort Lauderdale and they said that in America we pay on average $3.58 for gas while in Libya they are paying only 73 cents! How’s that for a ripoff eh? BUT….you have to expect it in America at this time of the year. I dont really care too much for American politics but I can say I really dont think American involvement or any other country for that matter is going to make a difference in what happens in Libya with Moammar Kadafi or however the fuck you spell his name. So anyone out there KISS fans? If you look at Kadafi doesn’t he somewhat look like Gene Simmons with those sunglasses on and grungy ass beard? I think so LOL.

So I was up late a few weeks ago and heard about the earthquake in Japan. Wow I stayed up late to watch the footage. Fucking horrible and saddening to see the images of the disaster. Although its not really related to the earthquake I did see something on Twitter that really pissed me off. You know I know Americans love their tech gadgets. New phones, TVs, tablets…etc. So many new things coming out to play with and yet we are confronted with these assholes that call themselves Apple fans who are pissed off because production of the iPad and now iPhone 5 have been halted because of the earthquake. Seriously folks, over 20,000 people are dead and many others homeless and left with nothing and all you can bitch about is how you dont have an $900 iPad in your hands? Why dont you fucking shut the fuck up and just wait. Its not the end of the world. Besides those complaining probably already have igadgets in their possession to play with anyways so just deal with it and when they can ship the shit out they will. It really is a shame that people are so caught up in the bullshit of owning an Apple product that they say fuck the Japanese people and fuck Japan. Thats pretty fucked up. If you dont like it then dont say shit about it. Just ignore it. Yeah I speak my mind about Apple shit and I should take my own advice and I normally dont talk shit about it but in this case after reading that people are pissed off because of this delay I felt I just had to say something. Android has not yet released official Gingerbread 2.3 for all phones yet but you dont see me bitching to Google about it.

So thats really about it. Sorry if you folks were made to read my Apple rants but seriously thats just fucked up on those fanboys/girls part. I fell as though Ive been slacking lately. No pictures or blogs. Wow! I did manage though to take a few pics at the beach in Fort Lauderdale though. Ill post it below for your viewing pleasure. So anyways, I guess I will shut up for now and get myself to bed. Oh there is one more thing about me that I forgot to mention. I have been eating much healthier lately. Cutting out sodas from my daily life. If i do drink one its usually a diet dr pepper or a pepsi max, Mostly though I been drinking water and green tea. Also eating lots of chicken, veggies and fruits. Well, I had a 8 oz steak earlier. It was practically MOOOOing still but I do like my steak pink in the middle lol. So yep thats the lowdown on me. Nothing exciting eh? Sorry folks.

More to come soon. I need sleep…oh and a shower! Hope you all enjoy your weekend and for those on the other side of the international date line…..your already enjoying the weekend! So have a great beer, cigar, cigarette, or whatever Proost!!!

Hej da!
