15 days…

…left until our Mexican Riviera Cruise! Boy, I hope I get better in time!

We will be on the Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas for 7 days with ports of call at Puerta Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas! We decided on one of the larger, more modern boats (maiden voayage in 2003) so we are constantly entertained! I’m a big fan of resorts (as opposed to standard, typical hotels) and there’s nothing like vacationing on a floating resort! We can’t wait!

I haven’t blogged much…

…because I have been sick the past 3 weeks.

And you wonder why I’m so anal about not being around sick people….well this is why: because I know it takes weeks for me to get over. Period.

Unlucky day of sorts…but finished it off with a bang!

Last night, SheryAnne and I decided that we were to go to Niketown in Union Square to get more Pacquiao shirts before the fight. So we hopped on Google to find out the store hours and happened to run into some information regarding the limited release of Manny Pacquiao Trainer Shoes! The deal was that we had to show up before 7:30am to get a ticket to a lottery for the shoes. I called Ray to let him know about the shoe since I knew he would be down to get a pair as well. And, of course, without hesitation, he was down to go!

Our plan was to head out there at 3:30am…get in line and try to win some of those shoes! So SheryAnne, Ray, and I got up and did just that! When we got there, around 4:00am, there wasn’t a soul in sight, so we decided to get a bite to eat. We ended up returning around 6:30am to a crowd of about 40 people…not bad! So we stood in line and were able to each get some tickets to the lottery. Unfortunately, we had to decide what size shoe we wanted beforehand…and we all chose size 10 (SheryAnne would have chosen a smaller size, but the smallest size they had was a Mens 8. So instead, we decided to use her ticket for another chance at a size 10.) With a crowd of about 200 people and only 43 pairs of shoes available, our chances were bleak. On top of that, there were only 6 pairs of size 10!

7:00am: We were getting a little high from the ghetto-ass “asian wannabe-black” dudes smoking weed, standing in front of us. No joke – they were smoking weed in line, and not even hesitating to hide it. Man we were among some of the most ghetto people ever.

7:15am: While we were waiting, Ray and I got interviewed by ABS CBN – so you might catch us on the news tomorrow if you have TFC! SheryAnne was able to snap a few shots. I added it to my Flickr feed.

7:30am: The drawing…of the 6 size 10s that were available, Ray won the first one! Yay!!!! We were stoked! But SheryAnne and I didn’t win But that’s ok because between the three of us, at least we were able to land one pair! The pair of shoes cost $125…I wanted the shoes so bad, that I ended up immediately buying a pair on eBay for $350! LOL Yes, I wanted them that bad. I wouldn’t have gone through all that if I didn’t want them that bad. I had to buy them before the fight otherwise, If MP won, there was a good chance that I would have to pay $500+ for them! In fact, if you check right now, some of them are going for $1000+ I’m glad to have secured my pair. Check out my YouTube feed for Ray’s unboxing!

Then the fight – woohoo! Victory baby! Victory! One of the best fights I have ever watched! The action and massive spillage of blood was fantastic to watch!

Then I went home to check on my 5x Super Lotto Quick Picks. Can you believe I only hit one number out of the 30 picks!?!?! Damn talk about an unlucky day for me!

You can mark this day in the unlucky column for me.

Talk about “violent.”

Wow (in a disturbed way.) Just when I thought video game violence had hit it’s peak… Check out this video clip I took of a terrorist attack inside of an airport. (I am playing the role of an American mole inside a Russian terrorist ring.) Friggin crazy! In the game you are supposed to mow down literally dozens of innocent bystandards in an airport. No wonder this world has gone to shit. These types of games give kids so many ideas and desensitizes them from reality. I hope parents around the globe know what they are allowing their kids to play because this one is quite disturbing. If I were a parent, I think I would only let 18 year olds and older play this game.

Frag!

Modern Warfare 2 – get it if you dont have it! Dave, Ray, and I had our first go around with it. We have some tweaking to do with our headsets and mics, but I sense that after we get a few kinks worked out, it’s GAME ON! You just gotta love the grumbling you hear from each other when we kill each other – it’s hilarious!

All my RC kits sold – and when I do all the math for all of the 15+ kits I sold: Total in Sales – Ebay listing fees (rape) – Ebay sale fees (rape) – Paypal fees (rape) – Total Original Purchase Price = about $400 profit. Oh trust me, the $400 wasn’t even close to being worth the time and agony spent but I’m just glad to end up in the black and with a few select RC cars.

I’m about 95% complete on the TRF415 I am building. I need to buy a few things to complete it.

We saw the Warriors kill the TWolves on Monday – Beer, shrimp, catfish, fries, hot dogs, and nachos! Whew! That was a GTO!

Manny Pacquiao – book it!
