I watched this race about a month ago. Max Papis slapped Billy Johnson. I didn’t like what I saw. I thought that was messed up.

 

Then this weekend, the unthinkable happened. Max Papis got slapped by a girlfriend of another driver (not Billy Johnson’s). He’s got hit very hard that it dislocated his jaw. Nascar world is buzzing around this incident right now. I am very interested in seeing what’s going to happen. There are many people angry at this girl. (furious)

Anyway, I see the irony in this whole thing. Maybe Max Papis started the chain of slaps that getting slapped was inevitable.

I served jury duty today.

I brought my reading material to pass time.

It was a drunk drive case. I know three close friends who escaped death after getting hit by drunk drivers (2 separate accidents). I got dismissed.

OMG, I am so busy.

I hope you are enjoying Memorial Day weekend. I will not have any time off. I will work 10 – 12 hours every single day throughout the weekend (SAT, SUN, & MON).

I had 3 personal jobs (photography gigs) that I couldn’t refuse. Who would turn away money?  And, you know, I’ve been poor all my life. So, I am happy to work day and night during the holiday weekend. I will slow down sometime next month (mid-June).

It’s been 3 months since I got a new job. I now work at a large company as a web guy. I didn’t know how to break the news about my new job, because I felt awkward (just like when I bought a house – it’s awkward showing off). 

Before, many people found my blog refreshing because I was living in a small apartment, trying to save money, trying to find love… and still shared positive energy. I believe I made a lot of connections with people in a similar situation.  I now lost some major contributing elements that gave my blog its unique personality. I feel a little awkward about that.

For now, I will keep talking about Costco shopping and Costco products. You may notice I spend a little more money than before.

I now have 3 decent electric guitars. Ideally, I would like to have 5-6 electric guitars and 1-2 acoustic guitars.

I need to get back to work now.

Happy Memorial Day weekend for everyone. I will talk to you soon.

Valentine’s Day came early for me this year. It’s January 20.

PS. I know, I should put away my Christmas decorations.

Update 2021 – I cannot remember who gave me that early Valentine’s Day gift, and why it was given to me in January.

I am trying to pick up tips and tricks on baking turkey this year (11 days to go). Women’s magazines are great sources.

Good times. 

Update (2021) – I still have that magazine. I still look at it to refresh my memory before baking turkey.

The first 2 episodes of Twilight movies were on TV last weekend. (Twilight & New Moon).

I’m a grown a$$ man, so I don’t care to watch teenybopper movies. But I just wanted to see what all the craziness was about. So, I gave it a chance with an open mind.

It didn’t take me too long to realize how stupid this was. 

Team Edward? Team Jacob? Ha~!

These girls have no brains. There should be no such argument.

It is obvious that Edward is much better than Jacob.
Who would not like Edward and side with Jacob? Edward is romantic, sexy, and good-looking. Jacob is basically a dog (bow wow). Anyone who likes Jacob should get their head checked.

I mean, can’t you see Edward’s love for Bella is deeper than that of Jacob’s?

Here’s a picture that’s long over-due. 

Pictures of my dining area 3 years ago and now.

October 2012. I cut flowers from the front yard.
The picture on the wall and the figurine are from ROSS (my other favorite store)

The previous homeowner left this dining table and chairs (Thank God).

** I am expecting a female company in a few hours. I bought 2 lobster tails yesterday at Costco. I am so nervous, I’m going to pass out. Wish me luck~!!
