Ok so as I was getting Ready to head off to work today I got all my things ready and walked out the door to find that some jerk(that is the kind name) had thrown an egg at my car. That is not the best thing for paint or so I hear. So I decided to go wash my car and try to get the partially dried on egg goup off. Well the first car wash only took quarters and anyone that knows me knows that I usually only use my debit card. So I did not have much change. But I did have enuph quarters to start the wash. So I turned it on and proceeded to spray off my car. and in my genious I found that spraying down on the car not only helped take off some of the egg but also soaked my pants. So now I had a car with egg on it and wet pants. What a wonderful morning. I can't tell you all the wonderful and glorious things that went through my mind if I ever found the kid that had the rest of the eggs in the carton.
So now it took me so long to wash my car at the car wash that my money ran out and there was still alot of soap on my car and me with no quarters or even a dollar bill. So I hoped in my car and drove to another car wash that I knew took Debit cards. So I tried calling my boss letting him know that I was running a bit late. Finally got ahold of him on his Cell phone. Good news is that he understood and told me to take my time. He was not in the office either haveing left for a meeting early that morning and was not back at the office yet. So I siged a little bit of relief and finished washing my car.

Master Detox Cleanse Day 3
OK it is the morning and I was up and down half the might with stomach issues. I got plenty of sleep since I went to bed earlier than usual. But I am not liking day 3 although it has started out better than day 2. Of course I skipped the Salt water this morning and had the tea instead. I hate that salt water and after what it did to me yesterday I might not take it back.
On a side not along with my hunger pains I found as I was walking out to my car this morning that Someone had hit my car with an egg. That explanation will be in my next blog though.
So the Cleanse is not making me happy. I feel a little too sick and not liking the lemonade concoction anymore. The tea still does not bother me though. Not the best flavor but at least it's not making me gag when I drink it. But I am hoping by tomorrow that things will be better. that at least some of my cravings will be gone and that I will had a little happier attitude. I am planning a trip to the Gym tonight though. So hopefully a little sauna action will help clear my head.

Raise at work.
Ok A should have wrote about this yesterday. But I finally got that much needed raise at work. Although it is a good raise I was hopeing for a little bit more. I know I am worth it. But it will help me be able to start saving alot more or at all. and I have hopefully learned a valuable lesson. Ask for the raise or you will never get it. I kept hopeing that I would get the raise for months and months and I was confident to tell others what I thought about the situatioon but not my boss. I don't know why. He's not the type to rip your head off. So Now I have my raise and I will be talking to my boss again soon to get another one.
Master Clense Day 2
Ok So I have Started this master clense. I decided I should write so that I can remember in about a week or more on how Much of a sissy I am being right now.
Yesterday my first day was not bad although by the end of the day I was getting a little tired and just about everyone was offering me food. I have never desired so many diffrent types of food in my life. Pastas with a white sauce was on my mind all day long. I started off with the Salene water or as I call it "Salt water" That so far has been the most unpleasent part of this. I drank it yesterday and when they say it cleans out your systm they mean it. But Ugg it will just make you sick to your stomach. Then I started making the lemonade. That is not too bad. although I have really found the need to buy a juicer to get those lemons and limes to go into my drink and not all over my hands.
So day one ended in success. I was feeling good. Nothing wrong except for the desire for food although I was not hungry just the smells and pictures on tv were very tempting.
Day 2 has been a trial. I had the salt water this morning and after about 10 min it just came right back up. Yea!!! Now I really hate the taste of salt water!!! The lemonade has not tasted as good today either. Maybe it's because I am desireing a Root beer and a Bacon Cheese burger. Dang that Crown burger just around the corner. It tempts me so much. I Have a little bit of a head ache also. So I have decided that Day 2 sucks. Not much else except for the fact I feel sick. No specific stomach movements or hunger pains. I guess we will see what happens tomorrow.
Wish me luck. I am starting to think that this is not a clense. This is a ploy by all those that wanted to get rid of me and decided it would be best if I poisned myself.

Tech Geeks are better than I, Because they have a web site
Ok the big thing I am alyas asked by friends, family , and coworkers is always about Technology. What is the Best T.V. to get or what is a good Video card to get for thier computer. It's the Curse of a Tech Geek. But at the end of the day I really don't mind. I love talking about technology. So For the poor Sap that is dumb enuph to ask me a question. They better be ready to listen. I can go on and on about allot of diffrent things. Computers. From what is the fastest to what is the best for the money.
Then there are T.V.'s This is my most recent favorite subject. From Contrast ratio and brightness levels to brand name and screen size. Not only is Screen size important for the male ego, But why have a 24" television in a room that is the size of a football stadium.
My other Favorite Subject is Video Cames. I am Primarily a Console Gamer. And to narrow that down I am a Playstation Gamer. Sure I have played the other consoles. From the Nintendo Wii which my parents have. To the Xbox360 which two of my roommates have owned. But I always love the playstation games the most. But I will allways ask someone comming to me for advice. What games are they interested in and how much time do you have or want to play video games.
But one question I always get asked is where I have learned all this crazy stuff. Well For those of you reading this you might notice a few things on the side of my blog. Engadget and Cnet. These are two sites I would reccommend for you to go to if you want to start learning about technology. Engadget looks into the future to see what we will be getting 6 months or even possibly 10 years from now, and Cnet does alot of Reviews of current things out and give alot of detail on why it is or is not better than something else. This goes back to my title. These geeks are better than I am because they have a web site that can go to the masses. So that is where I recommend you all go for now until I have the time to learn and set up my own web site. Along with http://www.recommendedspec.com/ for those feeling a little more adventurious.
Of course your always free to ask me a question too.

End of a War.
This has been a short war. But Finally one side has been able to claim victory as the other has Surrendered. No blood was shed. The only shots taken were those of words, and the victor was the one that could not only get the most support from the big boys. But was the one that the people chose. Both sides have thier streangths and weaknesses. But in this episode of red vs. blue. Blue not only won the battle the won the war.
This comes off the news That I personally read this morning that Toshiba is now stoping thier production of HD-DVD players. For those who don't know why that is so important. That is because Toshiba was the company that Brought the HD-DVD product to the market. They have had some very good backers, but thier competition has been like that of the picture below. Blu-ray brought to much to the table. Sony haveing thier own Movie studios these days unlike when it was the VHS vs Beta Max days. And Also With the introduction of the PS3 having a blu-ray player built in they were able to saturate the market quickly. But really the biggest blow was when Warner Brothers. One of the largest movie companys out there pledged thier support for blu-ray. When previously they were the only Major movie studio still supporting both formats. Now I will admit I made my choise early. But that is because I am a Sony Playstation fan. So I would have bought the PS3 anyway and I only stood to benefit from having Blu-ray become the High Def media of choise. But I still stand by my choise for many reasons but the most notable one would be capasity of the Blu-ray disk. I am now going to be looking forward to seeing many movies previously only on HD-DVD now moving over to Blu-ray. Like Warner Brothers said and Toshiba with thier most recent announcement. We can Finnaly get rid of the confusion in the high def format wars and push the high def format to being a worthy predasesor to DVD.

Valentines Saved.
Just to Start out. I want to give everyone an idea of what I think Valentines is for. Valentines is for showing love to those around you. Friends, family and your significant other. Valentines is NOT as the Media put's it a time to get enguaged and buy expensive jewlery and spend way too much money on a girl because you messed up the rest of the year anyway.
So my Reason for saying Valentines is saved is a personal one. Last year I was dating someone and had the most horrible Valentines ever. We ended up not even talking at dinner and by the end of the night I was a jerk and I had ruined Valentines. Why you say? Because I didn't buy an expensive ring and make it a night to remember forever.
Well a year has passed. I have a new and much better woman in every respect. I still didn't buy the expensive ring. But I had a great conversation over a wonderful meal. That is all I wanted this Valentines. Even though both our parents have expressed the desire for me to pop the question. But I had to make it threw this Valentines. I had to see if it was the ring or if it was me that mattered most. By the end of the night I felt more loved and appriciated for who I am rather than what I stand for in someones mind.
Valentines was saved for me this year.

Ever Evolving
I have been playing around with diffrent things on my blog. Just incase people were wondering. But hopefully some of it will give people an insight into what I like to read and what I enjoy.
I think the RSS feed will be the best. I like technology and there are so many things being invented and updated on a daily basis. Maybe one day we will be able to fly to china in less than an hour and get to see the world from space while doing it. Or maybe our cell phones Will have a battery the size of a pinky nail but have 100x the power output and charge it's self. All this can possibly lead to a beautiful future. But we have to keep up to take advantage.

Dowrys
Ok so my girlfriends father Just offered her and her sister $1000 for the first one that gets married. Upsetting the both of them. He also offered a nice bathroom scale back in December.
Q. Why offer money to your daughters to get married?
A. Because your desperate to get them out of the house and you don't think they are whole without a wedding ring.
Q. Why only $1000? is your daughter not worth more?
A. Hey my parents would offer alot more just to marry me off.
Q. Why a bathroom scale? I have know too many girls that freak when they get on the scale. "Oh my heck I am 3 lbs overweight!!!!!"
A. No understanding of the general reactions of people. Especuially a woman.
Why the bribes? Why the desperation? Why the setting up of a competition?
Tax Refunds
I just finished all my Tax work today and realized how small of a refund I am getting. and it makes me sick. Because I know atleast 20% or more of it goes to illigal immigration and then another 20% to corrupt polliticians and yet again another 30% goes to a Greatly Flawed Scocial Security system. my my 3% that I got back will go to something I can use other than fattening some burricrats wallet. But in the end it will anyway because of sales tax.
What a wonderful system for those on the recieveing end. Don't forget that they are the ones that make the rest of the world hate us. Because when they make a big decision it's because someone else offered them more money than the other guy. Not because it's always in the best interest of the country or the world.

Review of Juno.
This is one movie when I first heard about it made me very skeptical. I thought it was going to be a total woman power movie with the guy being shown as a skum bag and something to glorify glorify all those single teen mothers out there. Because honestly that is the direction I have seen Hollywood and the World have been moving to.
Juno took a difficult subject, didn't really glorify it, But didn't make it out to be a horrible thing where the girl is the victum. They told a great story and made you laugh threw the whole thing. The feel was that of a Napolian dynomite Except for the jokes were better and you didn't have to wait ten minutes inbetween the jokes.
This story was ultimatly about hope. How we hope for the best, from our kids, our family, our friends, and others around us. But also shows this is not a perfect world but how we can still enjoy the bad or difficult times.
I am glad I was able to put aside my initial fears on this movie. It is a show worth you considering and should leave a good memory for all those who go and see it.

Irritations at Understanding
Ok I will admit I am not the most religious person out there but I still am religious and will defend my beliefs. But I have noticed some things more in the past week or two that have me at whits end. It is the innability of some religious people to understand why anyone would do something other than thier way.
First Off I am Morman. Although you will hear many arguments Saying LDS or other names depending on who you come across. I went on a morman Mission. Although I was 21 when I went not 19 like most. and I will tell you this much. Most 19 year olds out of utah are not ready. But back on track. Missions are something very pushed in the church. The 19 year old male is almost expected and in some familys threatened to go on a mission. Bribes are made, Guilt is given, arguments are had.
This brings me to one of my examples. I was reading in the Ensign the other day and came across an artical about two parents that had the "quote" problem child. Wrong friends, Bad grades, quit school. But These parents did not have a hope that thier son would one day changes his ways and come back to the church. It outright brock thier hearts that he did not prepare from birth to go on a mission. Thier entire goal in life was to have thier oldest son go on a mission. Oh how great was thier pain! How much greater was thier lack of understanding... It comes to mind where half the host of heaven has gone, So why should we expect any more.
Now I don't fault these parents for haveing hope for thier son. But I do wonder if thier prioraties are correct or more cultish. A Cult will tell you what you have to do in every single aspect of life. A church like the LDS church will give you guidelines. As Joseph Smith said and many great men have also. "Teach them correct principles and let them govern themselves."
The LDS church remindes blind following members this all the time. Do not force a decision on anyone. Let them make thier own choises in life. Teach them how it should be and then let them decide if they will follow. You might have less converts, But the ones you get will be stronger in thier beliefs and better people for it.
Next is my roommate. He is a great friend and has been for years, Bit it is sometimes his lack of ability to understand simple things or bend his beliefs to a more proper understanding of life and how it really works. The other day he asked me if I had been going to church. That to me is an ok question. But when he said I shouldn't be missing out on my religiou learning. I refrained from pointing out that sometimes the teaching has many things to be desired. Many false truths or irrelevant answers are givin by members on a Weekly if not Daily basis. But ultimatly did he really think I was not getting a religious education because I missed church one or twice in the past two months that were not related to sickness? And in the end how much does it matter. We are here to get understanding. God understands that we all learn by diffrent methods. Not all of us can read a book and understand life. Most of us have to live it in a diffrent manner. Make mistakes and learn from what we have done.
So in conclusion. If you can't understand why someone would do something. Don't make a comment saying they are Stupid. Just say you don't understand. Leave it at that. You don't know thier mind. You don't know thier life. And you might never know why. You can say you wouldn't do it personally and walk away.
