85 sees a spot on NFL Playoffs...

Well well well - it looks like somene has jumped the gun and has already predicted that his team will be in the playoffs. Good ole Ochocinco (from the CINCINNATI BENGALS) has said in the middle of the teams mandatory minicamp that he feels the team will be in the playoffs this season. Seriously, this is not a mistake or a messed up post - Chad is holding within his mind the hopes of getting to the playoffs. Well all I can say is good luck with that because unless you predict my 49ers in the running as well then I'm going to have to lean over and say "Maybe next year". Okay okay I'll behave, you never know they might very well make it to the playoffs given the other teams come down with some serious illness and are not permitted to participate. Alright I'll stop it, but on the serious side - good luck to the team and hope to see another great season of NFL football.

Is this the rate I want...

In case you didn't hear - some banks need to be monitored to make sure that everything is running smooth. With a simple savings account you can probably get something in return when saving up but you want to make sure that the rate that you started with stays the same so that you don't end up losing money in the long run. Click on the link above and give yourself a quick walkthrough on finding just what you need when it comes to the right rate.

I'm still at it...

I've received some e-mails from some friends that I used to chat with at a photo blog called Photo Hunters. So to better spread the word I figured I can say it here and it should spread out to everyone (I hope). I am still taking photos of certain things weird or not, I am really falling behind on updating my photo site and for that I do apologize. I'm trying to maintain a better effort when it comes to my pictures and presentation so please bare with me. I have also received a few e-mails asking me about my style of picture taking. I found it hard to explain but I did find some information on how someone can keep themselves motivated when it comes to photography. Give it a read and come back to let me know how that went.

Had to share this moment here as well...

Yesterday afternoon my wife’s friend brought over some of her husband’s old jerseys that he no longer wanted for me to have. Well the first one I looked at was a Denver Bronco jersey I didn’t see what the name was but it looked pretty cool. The second one was a darker one - it was one of the Atlanta Falcons jersey. I was surprised that he didn’t want it anymore until I saw the name on the back.
Wait for it…
Wait for it…
You guessed it - good ole Mike Vick, at first I didn’t want it but then I told myself that I can use this on many occasions. Well for starters I can use this the next time I visit the dog pound in search for a puppy (yeah I know that was wrong) but in a way it is funny. Better yet I can wear the next time the Falcons play one of my friends’ team that way I can show up with some choke collars and wood sticks telling them that they need to get their team into shape. I plan on being booted from the party shorty after.

My cheap investment...

It's been about a month or so since I bought my 92 Toyota Camry from a friend fro $300 and as most of you know a car that only costs $300 will have some issues or something missing. Well for me it has a few things wrong with it but it's nothing I can't fix but the one thing I can't fix is the A/C. It went bad about a year ago according to the previous owner, for all I know it may need a diesel fuel pump or something like it. I'll be honest with you guys - I have no idea how the A/c works other then turning the switch from off to on that's it. I think I'll be giving these guys a call and see what they can for me because with Summer just around the corner and the car being a dark color it's only going to get hotter inside that car.

I wonder what Rush will do?

I just got an update from a news source the UNEASYsilence that has said that the popular over the counter product known as Zicam is harmful to people who use it. The main harm is the loss of the sense of smell. I'm looking into this a bit more before I say anything else because the last thing I need is a lie spread by others that might believe it. Now I do know Rush Limbaugh uses the stuff and repeatedly mentions the use of it with the swabs and stuff. I need to visit his site and see if he has any information regarding this issue. I'll keep you guys posted.

On her next trip to the North East...

I would like to get my daughter's attention on this post. Yes you Emily, on your next trip to Vermont you might want to try the Family inn Vermont instead of the usual same old same old cabin. I know that you have made the trip to Vermont each and every year so I figured you can do so but this time you might want to bring "others" with you like I don't know a family member maybe. The scenery there would be great for one of those old fashion Vermont weddings. Can you imagine attending a wedding in Vermont where the backdrop is actually a wintry scene and not some screen printed canvas. Heck you know what you might even be able to get your troops at work to have a nice Vermont meetings instead of the same stuffy conference room day in and day out. We can even plan a nice family get together in Vermont so that your siblings can get an inside view of the beautiful surroundings there. This is just a suggestion my dear, I wouldn't take you away from the warm environment that California has.

Are you kidding me?!?

The linked title above will direct you to an article I read that a woman filed a lawsuit against Quaker Oats and their name brand Captain Crunch because she thought for many years that she was truly eating actual fruit pieces in the berries cereal. Okay I know that times are tight and that this might of been an easy win given the history of some of the judges in California but come on really - filing a lawsuit because there wasn't any actual fruit in the berries cereal is just insane let alone embarrassing to her and her family. Just when you thought things can't get any more weirder poof out comes this story. Some people just need a break away from the rainbow colored pills and I'm not talking about Skittles. The judge isn't mentioned in the article but I would like to send a huge Thank You for doing the right thing and tossing this suit out the window.

Next year will be the year we do it...

With the reconstruction on our new home underway my wife and I have decided to wait until next year to have the roof redone. We are currently getting everything else done on the house because it truly needs it. Our windows, floors, bathrooms and bedrooms need some attention immediately. We will focus on the roof next year when the first stage of repairs is completely done. I did some research and I found a great company that specializes in roofing whether its replacement, repairs or some ventilation. Who are they? Austin Roofer that's who - well actually their name is Masada Roofing, Inc., they are dedicated to their work and even offer you a chance to get a quick quote over the phone by simply filling out their e-form on the front page of their detailed website. The navigation on their site is really smooth and easy to understand especially if you're new to the Internet. It would be awesome if they reached as far as Ohio but they only cover the Austin, Texas and surrounding areas for now. If they keep up the great work (which I can see them doing so for quite some time) I just might see them prop up a shop here in Toledo, Ohio. If your roof needs taken care of and you live in the Texas area then please feel free to click the link above and pay them a visit and send in your info so that they can call you immediately in hopes of getting you want you need.
