The Hitokiri Battosai

Hey there. How bad ass can my wife be? Not only is she the mother of my children and the most awesome wife out there, but she goes out and gets me Kenshin's Reverse Blade katana for Father's Day! Now, I'm not all about gifts and what not, Father's Day is to be with family and count the blessings of fatherhood, but my wife outdid herself with this one. It's a beatiful sword. I haven't had the chance to snap a pic of it, but once I do, I'll post it immediately. All I have to do now is buy a wall mount for it so that I can display it's beauty. I wanted to bring it to work to show off, but she said no. lol Probably get arrested for walking down the street with a samurai's sword in full view. lmao

All I need now, is an opponent. Until then, later.

Lakers Down 3-2

Hey there Lakers. The Lakers pulled out the win, despite a very sloppy game. It was nothing to be proud of, but a win is a win. I loved the post game interview by Gasol. "I didn't want them celebrating on my home court, with champainge and crap." Classic stuff. lol Man, the Lakers, again showing why they are the Western champs, bring it to the Celtics in the first quarter. Killing them in every stat. But that was just about it for the half. They fell asleep in the second quarter and let the Celtics claw their way back from a 17 point deficit and cut it to 3. For the first time this series, the Lakers win the 3rd quarter. A huge plus considering that the Lakers are being killed in the 3rd quarter of every single game this series. Then, there was the fourth quarter... Again, the Lakers lost their lead. Again, the Lakers lost their composure. But this time, they didn't fumble the win away (unlike game 4. As you've probably noticed... I didn't write about game 4 since I was extremely upset with the Lakers that I didn't even want to relive that game).

That's right, we won the game, but we didn't WIN the game. The Celtics merely choked at the end and we held on. Paul Pierce was careless with the ball so Kobe steals it, Kevin Garnett misses two HUGE free throws, Lakers fumble the ball with seconds to go in the game but the Celtics can't come up with the steal. I'm extremely disappointed. I was expecting us to bring it to em, kick some Celtic ass and make the Celtics think that they're in trouble. Instead, I get a half assed effort and just enough effort to hang on to a victory in the 4th quarter. Lakers should have won by at least 15, instead... it's a nail biter going down to the wire.

It was a little funny watching the game tonight. I have this bet going on with my wife that if the Celtics win the title, I'll get her a Coach bag (or any other bag or bags of her liking) and if I win, I get me a new tattoo. It was funny because she's not a basketball fan and is just going against the Lakers for this bet but as she was watching the finals minutes, she was like, "Oh my god, I'm feeling nervous.". lol I was like, "Babe, now you know how I feel with all the games." She comes back with, "But this is only because if they win, I'll get my bags. There's nothing on the line on the other games so I don't care." Or something along those lines. lol My babe, you gotta love her.

Game 6. Tuesday. Boston. See you there. Later.

Worried Out of My MInd

Hey there. Crazy ass Friday the 13th so far... We were on our way to work (my wife and I work for the same company, which is great because we save on gas and we carpool. Since the company gives out gift cards to employees that carpool, we score like $200 in gift cards every quarter just for coming to work. lol) and we're literally right outside the office building when I get a call from my mother in law. She was in tears and said that her mom is not well, that something is up. I make a U turn and off we go to my mother in laws to make sure all is alright. We get there and we pick her up and then we take off to my grandma's (my wife's grandma but she's mine too) place. We get there and she's sitting in her chair and you can tell that she's struggling to breathe... and when she talks, there is a shortness of breath as well, a slight tremble in her voice, and very sluggish movements. My wife and I instantly thought... stroke. We all stay calm and just talk to her to see what's up and after I get a hold of her doc and describe the symptoms, it's recommended that we take her to an emergency room. We pack up all her meds and get her insurance cards and off we go to the hospital. That was over 3 hours ago... After my wife and I discussed our game plan, we decided that I should come in to work to, well... work. I got here a little over an hour and a half ago and I still haven't received any news. I'm hoping all is well and that there is no news to report and that's the reason I haven't been called. I did speak to my wife when I just walked in the office, but that was business related and she mentioned that they just "took her in". Crazy... I just got a call from my wife.... Hold on...

K, just got off the phone with my wife and it looks like our suspicions were correct. Grandma had, or was this close, to having a stroke. The hospital is not going to release her until after a few days. They want to keep an eye on her since all the machines say she's fine, but her symptoms said other wise so they just want to make sure she'll be alright.

Unforgetable Memories

Ever gone out on vacation and just took a beautiful picture that just captured the moment? We all have that one photo in out photo albums that we get all googly eyes and reminisce about that moment. Well, how about we make that moment even more special by making it into a photo card. Our good friends at CardsDirect.com offer a great service where you can create a personalized card using your own photos and your own wording. You can have the photo on the front of the card, with a greeting if you wish, and personalized message on the inside. Or maybe you just want to give a gift to that special someone and have grown weary of the classic "hallmark" cards. Spice it up, friends. Guys and gals, take a pic of yourselves, or use one of a special moment between you two, and create your own card with a very special message to that special someone. Trust me, they'll love it. Just check out how this one guy decided to use his wedding day as the pic. You can check other stunning examples of Photo Cards here.



Personally, I'd use a picture from Disneyland that I took. Make a personalized message with something along the lines of ,"Hanging out with Mickey and Minnie" or "Our little one's first trip to Disneyland". Check it out, it soooo looks like it belongs on a stand somewhere. lol So do yourselves a favor and dust off that photo album and don't just reminisce, bring the memories back to life and relive the moment.

Friday the 13th Laughfest!

Hey there friends. Gonna be in the L.A area? Who's up for a free show on the 13th? My friend, The Fake Mark Gonzalez, is going to be on the bill and trust me, him and his entourage be some funny people. No drink minimum so even you, the unlucky yet oh so needed designated driver, can go to the show and have yourself some laughs with your drunken brethren. Word on the street has it that they may be doing a taping of Hulk Hogan's new reality show, Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling. Don't quote me on that though, but hey, you never know who'll you'll run into in these part of the woods. Check out the flier and hope to see you all there. Later!

Entrecard Issues?

Hey there friends. I am having some issues with Entrecard. Was wondering if it's just me or if something is up. I haven't seen any other posts in regard to any probs and my widget is not loading on my page. On top of that, I'm having issues logging into the website. The website itself doesn't load all the way and many of the image cards are not loading. I was just about to get to dropping my card to my "regulars" but I'm not sure if I'm going to miss out on a day of dropping because of this. Later!


6/11/08 Update

Still having probs. This is what my dashboard looks like... And what makes it worst is that I can't view anyone's entrecard widget. Very discouraging.



06/12/08 Update

Back in business. Don't know what was up but I had a feeling that the problem was fixed during the Entrecard outage yesterday. Thanks!
