Black Friday 2011

4 year anniversary! Wow! And this blog basically amounted to crap. Anyway, now that the facebook account has been deactivated, we shall see what the next few months bring. $199 Sharp 42 inch at BB, but I don't need another TV.

Mortgage Meltdown Part 2

We keep looking at houses, made a few offers here and there but nothing yet. Are we nearing the bottom? The only ones who seem to think so are realtors and mortgage brokers. This 60 Minutes is a must-see for anyone thinking about buying a house today.

Post Black Friday

Well, black friday came and went, I ended up with GH III 2 guitar bundle for $80 and Transformers Blu Ray for $10. The unexpected surprise was the Asics Kanbarra 3s which were on sale for a shocking $20 at Footaction....I've already logged 30+ miles in about 4-5 runs.

Black Friday 2009 bfads.net

My first post about a year ago was about "black friday 2007" which was an okay event at best. Looking back at this blog and all I've done with it, I must say is quite disappointing. Anyway, I'm not nearly as talented as the guy that runs Leftoverchinese.com.

Whoa! It's Black Friday all over again! Bfads.net has released a few adscans and Best Buy's ad has been released. However, there's some controversy surrounding the ad, mainly because it kind of sucks. I do have my eye on the $10 Transformers Blu-Ray and the $80 Guitar Hero dual guitar bundle.

Now I'm Inspired

I realize that blogs are probably more exciting with frequent updates and posts. Lately I've been inspired by our latest quest for a new home, which will be our 5th house in 8 years. So maybe I'll be doing just that. Right after the RUSH concert review.

Jan Terri Revisited

Another oldie but still a goodie....Jan Terri's "Get Down Goblin".
RUSH concert review coming soon.

Jeff Buckley

For some reason I remembered this old Jeff Buckley tune, I was probably in 10th or 11th grade at the time. A great song indeed.

Pinewood Derby

Its been quite some time since the last post and I still don't have most of the DR trip photos. Anyway, we had our first ever Pinewood Derby contest a few weeks ago. Making the car was quite a bit of work since I didn't have a bandsaw. It was fun, but we didn't win. Part of the fun was watching all the parents talk about the prototypes and wind-tunnel testing they did to formulate their winning designs.

Return to Dominican Republic

I still don't have any construction pics from the DR and a few friends have asked when I was going to post them up. Well, I still don't have them. In the meantime, I do have pictures of this kid I met outside of the Pani Pueblo in San Pedro. He was more than likely homeless and probably no more than 7 or 8 years old. He was asking me for money, so instead I bought him a loaf of bread. He enjoyed having his pictures taken.

Circus Weekend

With the exception of Cirque du Soleil, I don't think I've ever been to an actual circus in my entire life. I'm not a big fan of watching animals in captivity, so I can't say I was thrilled when my wife suggested we go see the Ringling Brothers Circus. I was actually more intrigued to see if we were going to be greeted by animal rights activists...I wasn't disappointed. The show itself was okay, since I don't even enjoy going to Disneyworld anymore, I may not be the best judge.
