Prime Time...

Well NFL lovers out there. It looks like Amazon Prime has signed a deal with the NFL Network to have all Thursday games streamed through A.Prime. So if you're an Amazon Prime subscriber you will have the added coverage of Thursday night games at your finger tips. I became an A.Prime subscriber this year in January. I have thus far seen some amazing movies as well as television series. At a one time cost of $99 for the year you can't really go wrong. I'm definitely looking forward to checking out some of the games online when the season starts. :)

Ubering 08/13/2016...

Good afternoon everyone.

First and foremost the following happened at 1:00 am this morning. I was requested to pick up a gentleman by the name of Ben from an excellent restaurant here in Toledo by the name of Sakura. During the ride to his home in downtown Toledo we had shared what's appropriate for a co-workers/partner to discuss when not with the main contributor of the company present. We agreed on so many levels which led us to discuss the partnership of several businesses that are starting to sprout in downtown. There is an old building by name of "The Berdan Building" that is being renovated. Ben informed me that it will have 112 apartments and the first floor will be dedicated to retail and a restaurant. I for one think that would be excellent for any resident in the downtown area living in the building or not.

Here is what the building looked like right before they started the work. Berdan A

Here is the proposed look after the renovations. Berdan B

Even though the artist rendition looks great the building right now looks amazing. They are moving along quite quickly and seeing the way they work it should be done in no time at all. Ben and I had a great conversation during that ride. Driving for UBER is definitely an eye opener in meeting new people.

Have a safe weekend everyone. :)

Ubering 08/12/2016...

Good afternoon everyone, Well today would have to be one of those days that are one in a million. At some point yesterday a bird decided to leave it's unpleasant trails (poop) on the passenger side window and door. I saw it and told myself to clean it off the car at some point in the afternoon. Well this morning when I logged in to Uber I went out to my usual location (with WiFi) to await my first request. Well in about 1 minutes time the request came in and I was off to pick up Michael (rider's name). As I'm waiting at the stop light I glanced to my right and saw what I had forgotten to clean up the day before. I had this huge wave of embarrassment plow through me. There was no way that I was able to get that cleaned up and be on time to pick up my very first rider of the day. So I decided to think of a story for the poop being there without mentioning that I forgot to clean it up. After about a minute of processing it I decided to just say what really happened and let the chips fall where they may. Well, turns out that my first rider of the day Michael is blind. That's right folks - I was worried about the poop being all over my window and door and having to embrace the embarrassment for nothing. So with a big sigh I welcomed Michael and proceeded to take him to his destination. Rest assured that the moment I had the free time to get that hideous splat removed from my sight I was all over it. Needless to say I no longer have that poop problem any more, well until another bird decides to graffiti my ride once again.

Desperation pass leaves Bama crowd frozen...

Not much of an Alabama or Ole Miss fan but I have to agree with pretty much all the viewers and fans who watched that game on Saturday. That pass in the 3rd was one to put into the scrap book because it was definitely one to remember. The fact that he even was able to throw the pass in a forward motion was cool enough but to have it land near the runner he was going for is just amazing. Now what took place afterwards is nothing more then fun entertainment. Watch for yourselves by clicking the coach image and let me know - that's if you're one of the few people who missed it. :)

Tom Hardy Handles Reporter From LGBT Site When He’s Asked About His ‘Ambiguous’ Sexuality

Amazing how some reporters line up their questions in such a manner to see if the interviewee slips and responds to the question in a TMZ like moment. Look, Tom Hardy is an excellent actor, he has some movies under his belt that places him right there with some of the good ones out there now and in the past. Loved his performance when he teamed up with Joel Edgerton to do Warrior. I watchd the preview for the movie "Legend" in which Hardy plays a two part role. Yes it's new to him but he looks to have pulled it off fairly well. Keeping and eye out for this one when I see it for sale. Let me know what you think about this. Night All :) Source: The Blaze

Tonight was the last concert of the Ottawa Park Concert Series. A great crowd came out to watch and enjoy the music. A huge thank you to all the bands that participated in the series. If you live in the area and missed out, next year is just around the corner. If you came by during any of the bands playing throughout the series I would like to thank you as well. Good night all and be safe.

Finding out who's strong...

As you all know Donald Trump is making the rounds throughout the media. Most of them can't stand him, my wife thinks he's a waste of space. I on the other hand find him interesting and amusing at times. Look, the man says what's on his mind without any filters. That is one tactic he has that the other candidates don't and can't have. The man is a business man - not a politician. He has his own money backing so he doesn't have to put on a filter mask before any scheduled interviews or speeches. I for one will be watching this "race" in the next few months. It's early folks, what's happening now will probably not have any affect next year when it's closer to November. Sit back, grab your favorite drink and stick an umbrella in it. It's fun times ahead.

Well, not sure ow many of you are fans of the show Survivor. If you are a fan of the show then let me start by saying that yes there is another Survivor coming up and this one seems to be a bit more interesting. Past players are coming back but this time time instead of head to head with strangers, they have to go against a family member. Now my wife has always loved Rupert as a contestant and now that he will be on the roster chances are she will be rooting for him.Except that now he has his wife as an opponent. This could very well be a drama filled series. Check it out if interested - I forwarded the info to my wife in hopes that she will join me in watching.

Supernatural Season 7 done...

Well I just got done watching the final episode of season 7 of Supernatural. The whole thing is still looking awesome. Watched every episode looking forward to the next. Cass was presumed dead but it turned out he just got "cleansed". Bobby does die in this season but he hangs around for a few episodes as a ghost. Dean had a flask that belonged to Bobby so he was able to follow Dean where ever he went with the flask. Bobby eventually was sent to a better place by burning the flask by the brothers. If you have no clue what the heck I'm talking about then please check it out on Netflix. You won't regret it.

Breaking Bad

I just started watching this series on Netflix and I have to say, so far so good. I know most of you might be on the new season and stuff but I've been watching other shows. This one popped up and since a lot of my friends are talking about it so I figured I should check it out as well. The first episode went well, trying to figure out the characters and the motive. I will be checking in with remarks on the show. cya

An Excellent Game!

WOW! Why is it that when the boys come out to kick some butt I am unable to watch the game? I was kinda watching online. I was on the ESPN "Play by Play" section and it was pretty darn cool to see it happen but of course nothing beats watching it unfold on TV. Congrats Niners on handing a nice beat-down on those green turds. Next stop - Buffalo. Get ready Bills because from what I'm seeing it looks like trouble is heading your way. Great Game guys can't wait until the next game.
Roman

Looking forward...

As most of you already know the true Referees have come back. This weekend will be an interesting one considering the games at hand in the NFL. I will post more tomorrow see you guys then.

--UPDATE--
Well I didn't get to watch last night's game between the Browns and Ravens but from what I heard the refs got a nice welcome back by the crowd. Check this out - even the ESPN commentators where happy to have the officials back.

Well, It's been a few months since my last post. I want to first and foremost say that my leg is much better then before. I am currently increasing my workout routine to the point where I am working out at work during lunch break. I am currently following a guy by the name of Mike Chang (on YouTube). He has an awesome collection of videos that can help you get back in shape or for others to stay in shape. I have only done this for about a week now but I do feel a heck of a lot better. I will try to keep things flowing here on a daily basis with day to day issues my transformation and whatever pops into my head that needs to be addressed. See you guys later. Roman

Can't wait...

Well the 49ers handed out a good old fashion butt kicking this past Sunday (48-3) against Tampa Bay. The game was awesome to watch on my new 43" Plasma. The colors were really bright and of course the action was sweet. Well the Lions won on Monday night against the Bears which puts them at 5-0. Yes, like many of you out there wondering "Where the heck did this team come from"
If i'm not mistaken I think these two teams meet up next Sunday at 1:00pm. You can safely assume that I will not be that far from the screen when this game comes on. I wish them both the best but of course I'll be rooting for my Niners.
:)

On Fire...

This past Wednesday Amazon released the popular Kindle Fire. I'm not too informed on the Kindle brand but I have seen a few recently. A co-worker has one and she absolutely loves it. Now Kindle has color version and it looks to be a hit this year for the holidays. I can easily see someone getting this for my lovely wife. She wanted an iPad so bad but did not like the idea of dropping so much cash for it. Check out this article by John R. Quain, it just might get you going in the right direction.

Not too bad...

Well, I would like to start out by saying that I am not the best dancer in the world and you wouldn't see me in Dancing with the Stars any time soon. What I can tell you is that if I'm challenged to a duel in dancing then I will do my best to win. My daughter bought Just Dance 2 for the Wii and not only is she good at it but my wife and other daughter are as well. I tried a couple of the songs but nothing really hit me as "the" song to dominate with until I heard Power by Snap. Boy did my old school senses come up from the grave. I jammed and shook my tail like no one can. Now we have a date scheduled to challenge each other this Saturday afternoon. Wish me luck - I'll try to bring the trophy home (no trophy exists).

Rescue Me

I started to watch Rescue Me about a month ago on Netflix. I have to admit that I did not want to try it when I first heard about it but now that I've watched season 1 I have to say this show is awesome and very well presented. Each episode leaves you wanting more and more to the point where you can't wait to watch the next episode (I space them out so that I don't watch them all at once) just to see what happens next. If you have Netflix and are on the hunt for a good show to watch please take the time and chance to watch Rescue Me.

Getting there...

Well, it's week two and I've trying this new workout that makes me focus on my actual workout and not how much I can do in a short period of time. Each rep I do I have to slow it down and really focus on the movement. I can honestly say that it feels great after my first set. Bench pressing is tough already but adding the slow factor really makes you feel the burn.
Till next time

The wins just keep on coming...

With the Bulls winning these past few days it feels even better to announce that my 49ers have won a good game in overtime with a nicely placed field goal by Joe Nedney. I wasn't able to watch the game but from what I saw on ESPN.com and read on UPI it was definitely a good game. Here is UPI's coverage of the game -

NFL: San Francisco 23, St. Louis 20 (OT)
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -- Joe Nedney kicked a 29-yard field goal 9:39 into overtime Sunday, letting the San Francisco 49ers edge St. Louis 23-20.

The 49ers had taken a three-point lead on a 16-yard touchdown pass from Troy Smith to Michael Crabtree with 2:10 left in the fourth quarter, but Rams kicker Josh Brown forced an overtime when he hit a 33-yard field goal as time expired.

Smith tossed for a career-best 356 yards and a touchdown, going 17-of-28, and Frank Gore ran for 87 yards and a score on 22 carries for San Francisco (3-6).

The Rams, meanwhile, lost for the second time in three games.

Sam Bradford finished the game with 251 yards and one touchdown, and Steven Jackson gained 81 yards on 20 carries with a score for St. Louis (4-5).
