Our Office area....

This is a view from my desk looking at the windows..."Yeah, im gonna need you to come on in on Saturday..."

DMA...Network...Masters...Combos...With no Fires!!!

WOW!!! What a day at work!! I learned how to make accounts with combonaions that link to different accounts. I am learning sooo much stuff that it is amazing, very intersive!! I amenjoying it thou, I feel that I have learned a huge amount of information and that I am getting a grasp of the system. The building i work at is very nice. The floor has 2 break rooms with microwaves, Fridges, sinks and coke/snack machines. Sondra tells me of her break rooms and gets jealous. I guess that, from what she says, their facilities are not as complete as ours. The security to get into the building is very TIGHT! Badge in, badge out...It is cubicle hell!! It reminds me of Office Space and there are some colorful characters their. Everyone walking around with MP3 players, and all have headphones on at their computers...So, I bring my MP3 player and listen to music as well!!
Enough for now...

Well. what is up?

I will fill in some stuff tomorrow about my job, just wanted to say hello to everyone and hope that yall are having a good day and weekend. It is freaking cold and windy here…Fun Fun!

OMFG...South Park...CheF

Here is the article:
Singer-turned-voice-over-actor Isaac Hayes has quit the animated South Park series, citing the show's satirical depiction of religion. In a statement, Hayes commented, "There is a place in this world for satire, but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry toward religious beliefs ... begins." However, series co-creator Matt Stone promptly issued a statement accusing Hayes of being primarily angered by the show's decision to lampoon the Church of Scientology, of which Hayes is a member. and its celebrity members. "In ten years and over 150 episodes of South Park, Isaac never had a problem with the show making fun of Christians, Muslim, Mormons or Jews," Stone said in the statement that Hayes "got a sudden case of religious sensitivity when it was his religion featured on the show.

I cant believe what they did to him on the season opener tonight!! I guess he got what he deserved. It appears that there is some BAD BLOOD about him leaving the show. They made him a child molester and then they killed him. But he returned as kind of like Darth Vader but looking like Chef...WOW!! Hard Care action on South Park.

Priceless... :-)

This is my wife... She is not feeling well today and i took the chance on getting a very cute shot of her...My love :-)

The Morning After....The Pics.

Well, the pics are not that good as i had to use my Cam on my phone. It is a 1.2 mp camera. Our 4.1 mp cam broke and we have a nice Sony Cybershot with 12x digital zoom with a 512megg mem stick pro on lay a way and will get it soon. We got about 2 inches of snow on the ground. all the roads are clear except for ice and there has been lots of acccidents this morning...People loose their minds here when it snows. I just wonder how they would have taken the weather in Massachusetts? A 1-2'' snow here is nothing compared to what we had up there...

This is my last day of freedom. Tomorrow i start to work and become a productive member of society once again. It has been nice, but i am glad to be working again. I am exicited about the new job and what will come out of it for me. So having said that, i need to go and i might post some more l8ter.

CAIO...

Late Night....

I can’t sleep; We went to eat at Carbbas tonight with our friend to Celebrate my job. It was good and we left full!!  I went home and I watched The Shield Season Finally.   WOW!! What a shocker…

In my getting up, I went to look out the front window and we had 1 inch of snow on the ground!!!  It is still falling as we speak…

My mind is racing and I am still hyper even after taking my Lunista…

Well, more l8ter…

All sleep well…

Nine Inch Nails

The show was INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!! They played for about 1 hour 45 minuets. The opening act SUCKED!! His name was Saw Williams … I don’t really have anything to say about him. Kind of like Drum and Bass with spoken word lyrics. Very racist stuff and political stuff from a black man. His set was not put together well and he used drum machine and his “DJ” did all the beats with it.  On the other hand, Trent had a 6 piece band with a drummer, bass, lead, rhythm, and keyboard set. The visual show was one of the better shows that I have seen.

Set List:

Pinion
Mr. Self Destruct
Sin
Terrible Lie
March Of The Pigs
The Line Begins To Blur
The Frail/The Wretched
Closer (Only Time)
Burn
Gave Up
Eraser
Beside You In Time
Right Where It Belongs
Wish
Only
Every Day Is Exactly The Same
Please
Hurt
Reptile
Deep
The Hand That Feeds
Head Like A Hole

 

 He played well and very hard.  The show went off with out a hitch and it was very tight with no mistakes that one could tell. The arrangements of the songs were very nice and he used lots of video in the show. IT is neat to see how some of the early stuff was played now with a band instead of just him. Here is also a link that will give you pictures from the show. The link is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/grizzlyadam/sets/72057594067153415/

GO to that link and you will see the light show. It was a very good show. This got me stoked and I can’t wait to go and see The Orb at the end of the month.

William Shatner - The Transformed Man

I just got a copy of this album…Very interesting! Captain Kirk, doing spoken word to 60’s classics!!! I have always heard of this album, but never been able to listen to it, so I found it..

1. King Henry The Fifth/Elegy For The Brave
2. Theme From Cyrano/Mr. Tambourine Man
3. Hamlet/It Was A Very Good Year
4. Romeo And Juliet/How Insensitive (Insensatez)
5. Spleen/Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
6. The Transformed Man

It is very interesting album, being all spoken word. It will take some time b4 I get through with this album to give a good review of it.
Live long and Prosper… 

The Weekend....

Well, my brother came up from Duke University yesterday to stay the night with me. He is in Divinity School to become a preacher.  He is 10 years younger than me and lived in Austin most of his life. He came up and we went out to eat, then we listened to music all night for like 8 hours. WOW!! What a fun time. I guess that in my life, that was a very awesome time of bonding with my younger brother. We never got to spend much time together due to living circumstances.  We got up this morning and we cooked Steak and Shrimp, and then went to Star Bucks. After that I took him thru Downtown Richmond and he had to return to Duke this evening… We are planning to get together soon,,,,

Nice Site to go and look at.

GO to Last FM and you will see my Winamp Playlist of music as I play it. It is very neat and cool site. IT ranks music and gives all kinds of Stats about the song, group and the links.

Bob's Thoughts

Bob si pissed off and damm proud of it...

I am coming to the conclusion that this “great Land” of ours is nothing more than a sell out country to all the foreigners. Just like the ploy of the united Arid Emirates to purchase and run 6 of our ports, all companies want to see out to foreign powers. 95% of all telemarketers that call my house are from a damm call center in India. It is nice to get a person that is from Amerika on the phone to say no to. WTF are we doing with our country? Babylon indeed…
It would seem that the MTV generation doesn’t know their ass from a whole I the ground. Sell, Sell, Sell, export, export, till we are nothing more than a conglomerate of poor, broken, non-Amerikan land masses that are no better than Zimbabwe or Iraq. Where has our national pride gone, they way of 9-11? IT looked like we were going to rebound from that, but I guess not if we continue to sell out to the whole fraking world. We should close our borders and worry about us instead of everyone else. The commercials for the Christian children fund say it all, although, they should say it about Amerika instead of some 3rd world place. We have poor and people starving, except you don’t fraking Sally Struthers saying lets help our poor, hungry children starving. No, just central and south Amerika. If we can’t help ourselves, then how can we help or be expected to help the rest of the world. Our pride will be our undoing..

WE are getting settled into our new life in VA, it is like our 4th new life in as many years. I am looking for employment as usual. Sondra is doing her thing in her new position. I purchased William Orbits new album the other day and it is very good. Some friends of ours came down from Massachusetts to visit us the other weekend and now, they want to move to Virginia. That would/will be cool, we love them to death and they are so fun. They are big into My Space off MSN. We are going to go and see Nine Inch Nails on March 14th and then at the end of the month, I am going to go see the ORB in DC!!! So all in all, good month for concerts.

I do not have my website up and running as I have no server space, but I hope to get it back up and running soon...
