The most important day of my life

The most important day of my life, at least up to now, was March 5, 2009. What happened on March 5, 2009? Jude LIsa Dornell, an immigration judge in Baltimore, granted me adjustment of status, meaning I get a green card and reverse the deportation order. Can you believe I had the "Most Lenient Judge" in all of America?

Conan's last show

I remember like five years ago when Leno announced that he was going to step down from the tonight show and let Conan take over. That day has finally come. Well i think it has. Conan I heard this morning is on a three months leave. Not sure when Leno is actually stepping down. Although he is stating with NBC.

My Super Bowl Prediction

I have had enough of the Patriots. It is about time their perfect season comes to a screetching holt. That is why I am predicting an upset: Giants 30 Patriots 27.

I am also predicting this year's half time show will be the worst yet. I Know the nfl has an image to protect but this year's lineup is as exciting as watching paint dry.

Zune or Archos

I am the in the market for a new mp3 player cause my iriver h320 has stopped functioning. I believe i broke it because i kept charging it with my tomtom car charger and that lead to its slow death. Most likely a battery replacement will bring it back to life but i have been wanting to get a new one for a minute now. Something with wifi and video playback capability. I have been looking at the new zune and archos but i have not made up my mind yet. I would rather give my left nut than get an ipod. I freakin hate ipods.

What really sucks about the iriver suddenly dying is that i never made a full backup. I probably have half of the songs in various places in my three computers but that still means i will be missing some 2000 songs.

Still not finished christmas shopping

This year I am spending a lot more then i have ever on gifts. I am buying gifts for 10 people and am trying to outdue everyone else. It will mean spending over a thousand dollars but it will be worth it. Best Buy is loving me this year: I have spent nearly $900 there only. I bought 3 ipods, a digital camera, 4 cds, 2 dvds, and paid half of a $400 laptop. I still need to get a web cam and will likely return there.

Spiderman 3

Spoiler warning! - Of all the summer movies, Spiderman 3 was the only one I was really excited about. However, after seeing this movie, it looks like its going to be a pretty lame summer movie going experience for me. Spiderman 3 becomes predictable at the end, after Harry and and his butler has the conversation where he tells him what really happened to his father. You knew he was going to show up the final fight and forgive peter and die. I knew it was all coming. The movie was good up to the conversation, after that I knew everything that was going to happen. Kind of ruined it.

I Love The Rain

I don't actually love the rain. Whenever it rains, the rain leaks through my sunroof.

This post is about a song named I Love The Rain. It is by a band named Real Tuesday Weld. I fell in the love with the song after I heard for the hundreds time on the Cherry Coke commerical. So I bought the song from mp3sale.ru.

Damn Damn Damn

I took the 70-290 Microsoft exam and failed it. Yup thats $125 down the crapper. I scoed a 653 and passing score was 700. I really thought I was ready for it. I reread the textbook and redid some of the labs and went over lots of braindumps. I will need to do a better job getting ready the next time. :(

Random Thoughts

The playoff teams are set in the AL. In the NL I am rooting for the Phillies just because they traded for Conine from the Orioles . . . I think my favorite commercial right now is the kornikova cannon powershot one.
