Two Delicious Firehouse Subs 02.22.09

Here’s a couple of delicious Firehouse subs that I had while down in Florida.  My usual is the Hook & Ladder, but an awesome manager gave us a Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar Brisket Sub to split and try.  So now I’m torn between the two for my favorite.
First is the Hook & Ladder, with the [...]

Drove Down To Vero Beach Florida Today 02.19.09

Starting today, I’m taking 5 days of personal leave at work to give my brother a hand on a few jobs.  Originally we were going to be working up in Knoxville, Tennessee, but things didn’t work out as planned.  So we headed down to Vero Beach, Florida today so that we could get an early start on [...]

Bad Taste From Stocks So Far 02.17.09

I know you aren’t really supposed to check on your long term investments, especially when you know the stock market has been doing nothing good lately, but today I checked on my Vanguard account to see where it stands.  This month, coincidentally, is  2 years from when I first started my mutual fund that invests [...]

Joined Last.fm 02.16.09

Not that I have much right to complain since I never did pay for a subscription, but I’m finally dropping Yahoo! Music here at work for the popular music site of Last.fm.  It’s been around for a few years now, but I never have really checked it out too much until the other day.  I [...]

Performance Review Results 02.12.09

There must have been no disagreements in with the way I rated myself previously.  I checked my paycheck this morning and saw that I now receive 36¢/hour more, which I suspect is the amount of increase for being in my department another year.  While it doesn’t put me where I’d love to be, it does [...]

Are Phone Books Obsolete? 02.11.09

I have a phone book in my office that sits on my desk underneath my phone, and with the exception of today, is extremely rarely used.  When I need a number, I look it up online.  When I need a business name, I look it up online.  It’s not just a matter of convenience, but [...]

Twenty-Four 02.08.09

Today I turned 24 years old. 24 isn’t really one of those milestone numbers – no big discounts on insurance or anything, but it is something different to get used to saying. I’m really surprised at how fast this past year of being 23 has seemed to have gone by, but looking back on it, it was a [...]

Riding At Highland Park 02.07.09

Today we went down to Highland Park Resort in Cedartown to do some riding. We had 3 motocross bikes, and two quads between the 4 of us (my brothers, Billy & Chase, one of Billy’s friends Chris, and myself). We arrived down there at about 12:00PM and rode pretty much solid until 5:00. They have [...]

Quite An Alarming Graph 02.03.09

The video below explains the graph in more detail. This is why I personally just can’t come to support any stimulus bills, stimulus checks, or any bailouts. Even though they may seem like they’re needed and can help, it looks to me like it just pushes off one problem and makes it become another a [...]

Wii Fit is Awesome 02.02.09

Wii Fit has been out for a while now, but over the weekend I had my first chance to play it.  From what I had seen of it before, it’s like they took Wii Sports and stepped it up.  You start off by taking your Mii, which by the way now has arms attaching the [...]
