I often wish that somehow, when someone dies, you always got one more chance to speak to them before they went. That way, you could live on knowing you got to say goodbye, and tell them what they meant to you, and they get to carry those words with them until the end.All I could do is ask my mom to tell my grandfather that I loved him. I hope he heard it. He passed away on Friday, a few hours

When I was little, my grandfather made me a walking stick. At the time, my grandparents lived in the mountains and of course whenever we visited, we would go out for walks along the creek that ran behind their house. I don't remember whose idea it was since I must have been about 4 or 5, but I remember watching him make it. We walked along the creek looking at trees, and he found one with thin

I love buy 2 get 1 free sales. I was able to pick up Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls, and Borderlands for $120. I would have grabbed the Xbox 360 version of Borderlands, but last Thursday night, my 360 decided to go where many have gone before it. Yep, RROD.

Sick before vacation.. just wonderful. I felt bad most of yesterday, and then last night I felt like I was going to die. Woke up this morning and my head was pounding, my throat was killing me and my ears were ringing. I took some dayquil and I feel a lot better, so yes, I am still going to go. So far the plan is to leave here tomorrow afternoon, earlier if possible, and drive down to Redding and

Planning out my vacation is kind of a pain in the ass. I am not the type of person that likes to have every minute of everyday planned out. Here is what I have so far:San Francisco on Monday or Tuesday. Santa Cruz or Monterey on Wednesday or Thursday. Actually now that I think about it, I would probably prefer to go to San Francisco on Tuesday since my brother will be there. Monday can be spent

Courtney Love vs. Guitar HeroI am guessing she was either on crack or was desperate for crack money when she signed the deal.I have seen gameplay vids of the Kurt avatar in action, and yeah it looks pretty stupid seeing him say "YYYEEEEEAAAHHH BBBBOOOOOOOOOOYYYY".

Not a lot to say about it really.. read the news a few hours ago on CNN. It is sad that he will not get to see health care for all finally become a reality.Some music to listen to in honor of Ted Kennedy:Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond 1 2 Aphex Twin - LichenEddie Vedder - Guaranteed

Long car rides can suck. 8 hours to the in-laws on Friday morning, and then 8 hours back last night. My son did amuse me on the way there though. We stopped in Kennewick to get gas, and he asked what I was doing. Since pumping your own gas is illegal in Oregon, he had never seen me do it before. And I hate that law btw.The best part is, we get to do it again next month.And then a few weeks later

It is just after 4:30am, and I need caffeine. So, I decided to go to my usual source: The evil Pepsi machine. Last night it gave me what I wanted. I was a fool to think it would do the same twice. I was about to put my money in and the LED lights on it said exact change only. I only had two singles. This time I remembered the Pepsi machine on the 7th floor. So, I went down to the first floor, got

I watched the movie Knowing this weekend. Here is my quick review of it, which is really just 2 thoughts on it that I am going to share.The Blu-Ray looked absolutely stunning. I have no complaints about the picture at all.Now, if you decide to watch the movie, and you are enjoying it, get to about 2/3rds of the way through, and then end it. Do not continue. Pull it out of your player and put it

Sarah Palin.. I am sure we all.. sadly.. know who she is.. wrote an OpEd in the Washington Post that had this line in it:"We are ripe for economic growth and energy independence if we responsibly tap the resources that God created right underfoot on American soil."No Sarah.. your great being in the sky did not create that. Dying dinosaurs did. You know.. those big lizards that lived millions of

One thing that I am finding interesting about his death is the reaction online. Seeing the thousands of message board posts mourning his death, I can't help but think that yesterday over 90% of these people would have made fun of him in some way. I am sure I would have been one of them. He did make himself an easy target. The very first record I ever owned was Michael Jackson's Thriller. Ok well,

It was sitting on my desk when I got to work this evening. I am used to coming in and seeing them. A manila folder with a list of names attached to it, and then who it is for written with a sharpee next to that. There is always a card inside. The cards are almost always stuff like congratulations on the new baby, get well soon, sorry your relative died. Then there are those that you never want to

It has been 10 years since Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was released. I remember the hype like it was yesterday.

We have 2 soda machines on this floor. One Coke and one Pepsi. Now I mostly drink water, but I do occasionally feel like drinking a Mt. Dew when I eat lunch. The problem is that the Pepsi machine breaks down frequently and Coke sucks. Seriously.. half the time I go to the Pepsi machine, it isn't accepting money. It is also the only machine that has ever taken money and not given me the soda. This

I saw the most messed up thing early this morning.. It was early morning and I was walking back to work from Starbucks. I had my nice hot white mocha in one hand and a bagel in the other. I was approaching the intersection and I saw a man in a wheelchair rolling across the street. What caught my attention was that he was using his leg to pull himself along... and here is where I noticed how weird

I am sitting here listening to Chris Cornell's new album.. Scream. The album title is right, because right now, I want to scream. I want to scream out so many obscenities that even the writers from Deadwood will cringe.Chris Cornell sang in Soundgarden... SOUNDGARDEN!!! This song I am listening to would be fitting if it was followed by Justin Timberlake or one of those American Idol types.What's
