Happy October

What an eventful week this has been! October is usually filled with fall and Halloween events, which are always fun. My nephew and cousin always look forward to the Halloween activities, pumpkin patch, hay rides, parades, trick or treating and of course dressing up in costume. You guessed it I like the doing all the same things as well. This past Thursday I even carved a pumpkin, I hadn't done that since third grade.

As many of you already know the Chicago White Sox won the World Series and as such Chicago is in celebration. Yesterday the city had a ticker-tape parade for the team, running from Cellular field to a pep-rally in the middle of the loop. Luck would have it that the parade route passed directly in front of my company building. Talk about a festive lunch hour :) I'm glad I usually carry my camera, I was able to zoom up close.The partying continues...
Last night I went to the Gwen Stefani & Black Eyed Peas concert, pictures soon to come. Now I have to go get some missing pieces for my Halloween costume and get set for dancing tonight.

Amazing - Chicago White Sox Win!!!

The 2005 world series was just ended culminating in a victory by the Chicago White Sox! The White Sox are the 2005 World Series Champions. As the Chicago Tribune states: -- BELIEVE IT! -- My community immediately turned on the neighborhood alarm - it usually turns on only for local fires and emergencies. The fireworks are also bursting around here. Needless to say I live in the Southwest side of the city, where the majority of the Sox fans reside. My brother in law is a die hard Cubs fan and is terribly upset of this win. As I had said before, I am a Yankee fan, but as a Chicago native I'm happy for my city. Congratulations to the Chicago White Sox, after 88 years they finally gain their long awaited victory.

MySpace.com

It seems myspace.com is gaining ground in membership and popularity, especially with the Y-Generation. The third party add-ons are also popping up all over the place. What differentiates from the add-ons I've seen on blogger is the 'bling-bling' factor. This common hip-hop style of flashiness is a definite known factor for this generation and it is apparent by the looks of some blogs I've seen. Here's an example that can be found @: MySpacePimps.com

I've joined the network of course! My sister and friends are on it and influence me. We'll see how this site compares with friendster and hi5. I don't mind contributing to the cyber garbage. It's just another venting spot and creative outlet. Who knows I think I'll have fun pimpin' my space.

I think I'm going to add this one to myspace as well. If you know me well, you know I like cosmos :) Hey if you can't beat them join then :)

Interview With An Honest Boss

This was rather funny, it reminded me of the move 'Office Space'. What do you think your boss would say if you asked him about the your different options? Check out this flash movie and have your interview with an honest boss

Hurricane Wilma

The New York times published incredible shots of different locations where Hurricane Wilma has struck today. The Storm is expected to hit the Florida border tomorrow (Sunday). The storm was downgraded to a category 3 storm, however it has caused serious tragedy upon many inhabitants of the Yucatan Peninsula.
Hurricane Wilma hung over the Yucatan Peninsula Saturday, deluging the streets of Cancun. The storm was expected to reach Florida border on Sunday.

Cubans herded cattle to higher ground as flooding threatened part of Pinar del Rio. More than 500,000 people were evacuated from the western part of the island ahead of drenching rains and dangerous winds.

This Weekend

I'm not sure what this weekend will bring. I doubt it will be as eventful as last weekend, which by the way I finally posted the pictures from Hawthorne Race Track and the petting zoo in my photoblog. Please check it out every now and then - what do you think?

The weather is expected to be cold and rainy, not great weather to be outdoors much. Besides the Chicago White Sox will be playing their first game in the World Series against the Houston Astros. Hey I'm not jumping on "the bandwagon." My sister says she hates posers. I always said if the Yankees lost I would root for the Sox. Go Sox!

I Can't Afford My Gasoline

Cute Flash movie but such a true sad message: I Can't Afford My Gasoline

Joke Of The Day

Why the Chicken Crossed the Road?
John Locke: Because he was exercising his natural right to liberty.
Machiavelli: The point is that the chicken crossed the road. Who cares why? The ends of crossing the road justify whatever motive there was.
Timothy Leary: Because that's the only kind of trip the Establishment would let it take.
The Bible: And God came down from the heavens, and He said unto the chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road." And the Chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.
Darwin #1: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically predisposed to cross roads
Darwin #2: It was the logical next step after coming down from the trees.
Jerry Seinfeld: Why does anyone cross a road? I mean, why doesn't anyone ever think to ask, "What the heck was this chicken doing walking around all over the place anyway?"
Martin Luther King, Jr.: I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.
Grandpa: In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken had crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.

Colonel Sanders: I missed one?
Plato: For the greater good.
Aristotle: To actualize its potential.
Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.
Ralph Waldo Emerson: It didn't cross the road; it transcended it.
Joseph Stalin: I don't care. Catch it. I need its eggs to make my omelet.
Dr. Seuss: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes the chicken crossed the road, but why he crossed, I've not been told!
OJ Simpson: It didn't. I was playing golf with it at the time.

Great Article - Has It Been “One of Those Days”?

I clicked on a link that caught my attention onmy msn page. There was this little icon wuth text that read - "bad day at the office". My answer, kinda! Pretty hectic times right now, I liked some of the suggestions in this article...

It happens to everyone at one time or another. But now how do you deal with it when you leave work? Are you going to stomp home and slam all the doors? Take it out on the dog? Let’s hope not. Here are some suggestions for putting a dreadful day behind you. | Read more at MSN Career Advice

This Damn Cold

I hate getting sick, when I get sick I get REALLY sick. A regular cold for someone else turns into flu-like symptoms for me. Well guess what I am SICK!!!! I know exactly when I caught this cold and it was my fault. I went to montrose harbor on saturday with just a t-shirt and Jersey on. The Chicago weather of course changed for the worse as the hours progressed. I think it went down to sub 50 and windy. As Vigdis would say "f***ing Chicago weather". Yeah, V I said it! These weather changes are killing me.

BK Halloween Masks

BK Halloween Masks
Did I ever mention that the burger king mask guy freaks me out? Oh and that commercial where he catches the football and scores a touchdown is just stupid. I hate that guy! To make matters worse I might run into that creepy mask this Halloween. If you must get one, get the subservient chicken, I didn't mind that one.

Rhyme, Rhythm and Risas Tour

Last Thursday my sister and I went to a concert at the Aragon. It was called the Rhyme Rhythm and Risas Tour, sposored by Volkswagen. I loved it. If it comes to your city you must check it out, especially if your Hispanic. It showcases poetry, comedy and music. Comedian Pablo Francisco and poetry and music by La Bruja filled the audience with food times, but the best part - Ozomatli. I really enjoyed their performance, but especially like the ending. The entire band got off the stage and jammed for about 20 minutes in the middle of the crowd. If you can't check out the Rhyme, Rhythm and Risas Tour, make sure your check out Ozomatli.

I May Be A Chicago Traitor Soon

Here I am watching game three of the American division Championship, rooting as usual for my Yankees. Series is tied one a piece and I can't help being scared of the decision I may be faced with soon. My hometown White Sox clinched their spot at the League Championship Series, winning their division series against last year's champions the Boston Red Sox. I may be over confident in already thinking the Yanks will battle the sox in the next series, especially since they are down a run now at the fifth. I will admit that I am not a addicted baseball fanatic. I watch a few regular season games, but I always watch the finals. I have always rooted for the Yankees since the beginning of the 90's. I've never really gotten into the cubby/sox feud. I will root for both teams, although I've been to more cubs games than sox games. Both stadiums have a different aura to them.

Today Chicago is celebrating the fact that the White Sox are the ALC champs and might even win the World series. I caught the end of the Sox's game on the radio during my ride home. I rooted for the White Sox, just as I rooted for the cubs last year. Why I am scared - because I cannot stop rooting for the Yankees. Should Yankees battle White Sox, guess who my loud cheers go for?

WOoohoooo! Game tied, Matsui just tied the score....Second batter up hits sends Cano scoring at home plate and now Yanks are up 6-5. Gotta love this game!

Find The Man In The Coffee Beans

From E-mail Forward
----- This is pretty interesting --
it is actually a test (not a joke), although I don't know how scientific the explanation is. Read directions below and give it a try.

This is an actual test-Can you find the man’s head within 3 seconds?


According to medical experiments: If you can find the Man's Head within 3 seconds, your right brain is more developed than normal people. If you can find the Man's Head within 1 minute, your right brain is developed normally. If you can find the Man's Head within 1-3 minutes, your right brain is slow in reacting, you should eat more meat protein. If you can't find the Man's Head in 3 minutes or more, your right brain is a disaster ... extremely slow in reacting, eat way more protein and try some Ginkgo Biloba. AND, YES THERE REALLY IS A MAN IN THERE.

Give up? Here's the answer... Are you sure?
Look in the lower left between the middle and side. I hope you didn't cheat!

La Vergüenza De Pedro

No he defendido mi dios. Otros se rien de los creyentes. Me cayo y no admito creer en mi señor. Que clase de cristiana soy yo. Me siento como Pedro quando negó a Jesús Cristo cuando lo llebavan a su crusificacion.

La vergüenza peza pero dicen que la fe puede mover montañas. Si es asi, porqué mi fe no tiene las fuerzas de enseñar su cara? Proclamo aquí que dios es mi creador y salvador. Dios mio quitame esta cobardia para proclamar lo mismo enfrente de esas personas que reniegan de ti.

Weekend Recap w/Charlie Pics

I had to go into the office this Saturday again - I've been working like a dog, well not like my dog who is the laziest dog I've ever seen! This weekend was the first one in a very long time when I was able to truly enjoy it. I came home Saturday evening and I took Charlie on a very long walk. The day was beautiful, warm and slightly breezy, just how I like it. I walked several blocks to towards a park where I knew at that point Charlie would need a rest. Sure enough when we arrived, as soon as I sat down Charlie plopped himself onto the grass. He loves rolling over on the grass and getting dirty. I am not a fan of the mess and his stinky-smell afterwards but I will admit that it looks cute when he does it.

Later that night was relaxing as well, I laid low and stayed in. I missed the Roy Jones fight, but I guess that was a good thing since the next day I found out he had lost. I would have been upset the entire night. It still irks me to think he lost to Tarver.

I stayed up late Saturday night fixing a computer from a client. I still freelance on the side from time to time. You name it, websites, graphics, virus cleaning, PC repairing if it pays and has to do with computers, I'll try to do it. Sunday was full of sleep and a movie night with Carson again. We saw Lord of War, which actually surprised me. I liked the movie and recommend it.
