Some stuff lying around in my safe....need money for the baby. So I figured I'd try to sell these things.

Stone Cobra Tactical Basic & Intermediate Carbine Courses

2011-04-18T13:34:00.000-07:00

This past weekend I decided to further develop my rifle and pistol skills. Last month I signed up for a weekend course from Stone Cobra Tactical. Check out their website: Stone Cobra Tactica l. Anyways, two words can sum it up........FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!! These guys are all ex-military / private sector security / current law enforcement and they know their shit. I went there with a friend, Rich and also met his buddy, Kingsley.

Basic Carbine started off with a safety brief and how to disassemble, clean, and reassemble your rifle. This was awesome b/c Rich has never disassembled his rifle before. We spent a good 2 hours on it. Then we zero-ed our rifles. We ended the day shooting from different positions behind barricades.

Here is a pic of me talking to an instructor about zeroing my rifle.

Rich and his buddy couldn't make it to the 2nd day, so I was all by my lonesome. But I still had a blast. We started off Intermediate Carbine with transitions to our secondary weapon. We then got into movement drills (forward/backward, lateral, and diagonal). We shot from supine and then the urban prone position. We also did group and singles competition.....which I did pretty well in. Had a malfunction with my grip and safety....but they helped me fix the problem and I was G2G.

Here are a couple of pics of me doing movement drills.

All I can say is I think I'm hooked!!!! Can't wait till I can do Intermediate Carbine 2.5.

Gee at Target Masters Range

2011-02-28T17:17:00.000-08:00

Gee and I had the day off of work today. We decided to go to Target Masters in Milpitas to go shoot. We had a blast!!!!! We were shooting at 10 yards. Here are some pics I took of Gee today.

Gee shooting a Springfield XD40.

Zoomed in on the pic and saw he was grouping really well.

Gee letting off some steam with my Glock 22C.

Here's the video I took it from.

New Eotech 512 Holographic Sight

2011-02-19T21:44:00.000-08:00

Well, got rid of the Vortex Red Dot Sight and Magnifier and got me an Eotech 512. Can't wait to take it out to the range. This sight looks and feels really sturdy and well built.....it still would probably work after being dropped out a 2nd story window. But I'm not going to test that out. Here are some pics:

Hello From New Zealand!!!!!

2010-10-10T21:05:00.001-07:00

We arrived in Aukland, New Zealand on Monday, Oct 11 at 5am on the dot. It was a 12 hour flight. Here I am at the arrival gate.

It was pretty cold and rainy when we arrived. Kinda reminds me of the Bay Area. LOL....but it's nice to be away from work. Wish all you were here with us!!!!

Here's a pic of what we see from our balcony!!!! Awesome. Pic taken from my HTC EVO 4G. Nice huh?

Here's the skyline of downtown Aukland. We got some coffee and then did some shopping right after we checked in.

Modern Warfare 2

2009-11-11T23:21:00.000-08:00

Man, all I gotta say is WoW!!!! And I don't mean World of Warcraft. I picked this up yesterday and finished the single player campaign tonight. The story is OFF THE HOOK!!!!!!! From all the shooting, blowing shit up, driving snowmobiles and boats.....I think the replayability on this game is good. But after 2 nights of messing with my headset and getting rid of the friggin mic feedback, I was able to finally play a good multiplayer game with Rex and Ray! So FUN!!!! The multiplayer also allows 2-player co-op that are 2 - 3 min quick games. Rex and I had a go at that....oh SNAP! Player 1 has to run to the LZ while being covered by player 2 flying in an AC130 or Blackhawk!!!! LOL....friggin awesome! Gee, Dom, and Johnny....please get this game!!!!!!!

Happy 5 Year Anniversary Honey!!!!

2009-07-31T22:57:00.000-07:00

Well, Daphne and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary today! WOOT!!! We went to eat dinner at the marina at a restaurant called Horatio's. We had an awesome time! Man, 5 years passed by so fast! I can't even believe it's been this long. So we decided that we would get each other something really nice to commemorate our time together as husband and wife. So I decided to get her an Oris Artelier Diamond Automatic watch. She's been wanting it ever since we went to Las Vegas. Here's a pic:

She asked me what I wanted....I really didn't know. So I also thought a watch would be a nice 5 year anniversary gift. So I chose the Oris Williams F1 Team Chronograph 2008. I took some pics of it. I don't know why but I just love Oris watches!!!!

Moar Cosplay

2009-07-14T09:40:00.001-07:00

My thoughts on cosplay

2009-07-12T19:43:00.001-07:00

So I was looking through this website and found some cosplay stuff. In my opinion it can be good at times.

For example:

Other times it's just horribly wrong.

Mid-life Crisis!

2009-04-16T14:31:00.000-07:00

Well, I pulled the trigger and bought a 2004 CBR1000RR last weekend. When I met the guy to test ride it, I was hella afraid though b/c I haven't ridden a bike in over 10 years....lol. But I managed to get out the parking lot with no problems. The guy took really good care of it. Only thing though is it has somewhat high mileage (in my opinion)....25,000. But it's really not much on a Honda engine. Rode it home and man....it felt good to ride again. I couldn't believe the power and technology difference between my old FZR and this one. Here are some pics of it from the previous seller.

Gettin the itch again!!!!

2009-03-23T21:32:00.000-07:00

Not the itch down in my pants but the motorcycle riding itch. I've been looking at motorcycles for the past week now and i've seen some really nice bikes that I could probably afford. Its very very tempting.

Haven't Blogged in a While

2009-03-06T18:14:00.000-08:00

It's been about 5 months since I last blogged anything. I guess its because work has been stressing me out so much that its pretty much the only thing I think about when I'm not there. Pretty sad, huh? But lately, I've been feeling a little bit more comfortable and have been able to enjoy my days off a little. So I began fixing up the M3 a little just recently. Finally I took my wheels in to the wheel shop to get refinished. They are the OEM BMW 18x8 and 18x9 cross spoke wheels that came of the late 90's 7 series. I also bought a set of Ground Control camber plates for my car. So here's a few crappy pics I took this evening.

Oris Fan

2008-10-21T20:48:00.000-07:00

Well, when Daph and I were in Taiwan, I decided that I wanted to reward myself for landing my job. I decided to look around for a new watch in Taiwan but couldn't find anything. But I've always had my eye on this certain watch. It was the new 2008 Oris Regulateur Der Meistertaucher. I think it means "master diver" or something like that. Its a 49mm with orange accents and luminova. It has a regulator movement where the central hand is only the minute hand. The hours and seconds are displayed in seperate smaller dials. It allows for 2000M (but I don't think I'll ever utilize that) and has helium release valve. Here are some pics:

Ohh so sweet!!!

2008-10-03T17:47:00.000-07:00

Here are some pastries that Daph and I were eating in Taiwan.

Of course you can't eat your pastries without having some refreshing Beer flavored Green Tea. LOL. Its pretty funny because all the kids drink this stuff.

Taiwan Day 2 - Part 2

2008-09-26T00:39:00.000-07:00

So after resting for a bit we met up with mom. She's really into miniature things and wanted to take us to the Taipei Miniature Mueseum. Here are a bunch of pics.

When Daph turned the corner of one part of the museum, her face lit up! Here's what she saw. It was an exhibit dedicated to Hello Kitty. I only took a few pics but Daph took a bunch.

I'm not sure if you can see it too well but there's a little picture of hello kitty in this paperweight ring.

After the museum, mom took us to a really cool night market. We ate some crazy stuff. I didn't get to take pics b/c I was way too busy eating. Daph luckily took pics of us eating chinese sausage w/ wasabi, duck tongue, rooster's comb, and unlaid chicken egg just to name a few. It was kinda different but good none the less.

Taiwan Day 2 - Part 1

2008-09-26T00:17:00.001-07:00

Well, we're back already from our trip to Ilha Formosa (Taiwan). It was really fun out there. I tried to upload my pics everyday for everyone to see but wasn't able to. So I will be doing that here now. Here's our 2nd day in Taiwan.

The Miramar Taipei Hotel

We decided to go walking at 9am. It was so hot that Daph and I decided to rest up and get away from the heat at Barista Coffee.

This was the view from where we sat on the second floor of the coffee house. I know its really hard to see but its a Rolex store (immediate left) and an Omega store (with the red banner across the street). We went to check out the Rolex store. It was kind of odd how right when we walked in, the saleswoman was on us like white on rice!!!! She even called the other saleswomen to tell her we were on our way up to the 2nd floor. They must try really hard to get that sale. We also did some shopping at Sogo department store but to save myself a little embarrasment, I decided not to go up in there taking pictures.

On our way back to the hotel Daph and I walked back to the hotel and found this hole in the wall shop in an alley that sold roasted duck. It was really good.

Taiwan - Day 1

2008-09-19T03:56:00.000-07:00

Well, we're here again!!! It's awesome being back here but I could really do without the friggin 90 degree heat with 100% humidity! I was sweating like I just ran a marathon! But it is really nice to get away. Today we had breakfast buffet (which was surprisingly good), got to workout at the gym, and then rested (all before 10am). Around 11am, mom picked us up and we went to the Taipei zoo. It was really nice there and completely empty. At the zoo, we took a gondola ride up the mountains to a really nice tea area. We all chilled out, talked, ate, and drank tea. It was fun. Here's some pics from today taken with my N95.

Arrival at Taipei Airport

Dom's Weekend

2008-08-12T18:50:00.000-07:00

Well it was an eventful weekend. Not like the typical bachelor party with boobies and such but still fun. I didn't get any pics of the golfing but heres what I got. These pics were from my Nokia N95 phone:

Day 1:

Dom driving to the "unknown" place.

John and Jo playing phone tag on the way up.

Dom & John chillin at Applebee's in Tahoe.

Jo suffering from hypoglycemia b/c lack of food.

Dom, Gee, & Jo (in the background). Dom's showing off his new gear.

Mana Pots....fucking good!

Day 2:

Dom, Rex, & Ray postin for the camera. Glad they made it up there for the rafting.

Jo, Gee, & Rodney just chillin before we go rafting. Can't you see the excitment in their faces.

Studying sux.

2008-07-02T00:54:00.000-07:00

Well, it's been a little over a month already since I graduated from nursing school. I've been studying pretty diligently for the past month in preparation for the state board exam for nursing. My date is set for July 15. I don't know though. I have two weeks till the exam but I still feel that I'm not close to being ready for it. With all this studying, I feel like my lifeforce is being drained day by day by day.....by day. Oh well. I even booked a hotel in oakland the night before the exam so I don't have to worry about driving over there in traffic....just one less thing to stress over. I guess I just gotta keep pushing. BTW, I didn't get the Stanford position I tried applying for. But there's more jobs in the sea.

On a good note....a couple weeks ago, I was talking to the wifey about my Oris watch and how it was stopping even though it was on a winder. She told me (forced is more like it) to take it back. So we went to Bloomingdales with Johnny. I was kinda expecting them to give me a hard time about it because its been quite a while since it was bought. The saleswoman asked me what was wrong with it, I told her, and next thing I knew, she brings out a brand new watch. BOOOYYAH!!!! Really great service over there. But for that amount of money, I guess they better have good service. Anyways, the new watch is working awesome!!!! No problems what so ever. But I'm keeping my eye on it.

Picture Time

2008-06-15T02:31:00.000-07:00

Well it seems like now that school is out, I've been playing a lot more WoW. Its especially fun playing with everyone. Tonight we went through a dungeon called Black Fathom Deeps. It was quite exilarating!!! I couldn't believe we went in there with only four of us: Me (Bullshizznit), Daph (Angelie), Dom (Inasad), and Jo (Devoid). Great teamwork in there everyone. Too bad John boy wasn't there with Big Zheetar. We could've finished it in half the time. Here are some pics after we were done with our run.

Serious Pic:

Funny Pic:

Here's one of me and John (BigZheetar) after we killed a pig to make adobo.

Look at what I bought!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-06-14T15:48:00.000-07:00

I just had to have this. Its the Omega Speedy Pro Alaska Project LE. So I contacted Topper Jewelry and they stated that they'll be receiving it within a couple weeks. I asked if they could hold it and they said they'd take my credit card and charge it for me. I was hesitant at first but I just had to have it. Take a look!!!!

Watch winder woes....

2008-06-08T20:12:00.000-07:00

Well, I finally graduated nursing school (wooohooo!!!!) and for my graduation gift from Daph and my family, I received an Oris Flight Timer R4118 Limited Edition watch. It's friggin awesome!!! I love it. I've been wanting it for the past 3 - 4 years already. Here's a pic I got online.

Anyways, I knew that I wouldn't be using this everyday, so I wanted to get a watch winder for it. I decided on the Steinhausen. I got it used on ebay for $50. Here's a pic of it.

Oh man, big mistake. It only does continuous winding. It does not do intermittent winding as stated on all the websites its on. The only way I have to make it intermittent is using a christmas tree timer that only runs it for 1 1/2 hours during the morning and evening. So I checked my watch the other morning and it was totally stopped. OMFG...I couldn't believe it!!! So I broke down and bought a really nice winder. Its the Module 3 made by Wolf Designs.

Man, I hope I have better luck with this one. I've heard nothing but good stuff about the winder as well as the customer service. Hopefully this will do the trick. I'll keep you all updated on it.

2008-02-06T16:14:00.000-08:00

I'm not really familiar to any racing series now but I do remember that BMW PTG did not run in the ALMS for a little while. But I heard that BMW will be re-entering ALMS with these sweet E92 M3 racecars:

Goodbye BBS RS

2008-01-19T13:19:00.000-08:00

Well, it's been quite a while since I last posted. Anyways, I'm trying to sell my BBS RS wheels. Yup, can you believe it?!?! My beloved BBS wheels. Oh well....they've been sitting in my garage for over a year now collecting dust. But I'm sure someone can make good use out of them. They have BF Goodrich Eagle F1 tires which are practically new!!! I want to get $1400 for them and had a few people inquiring about them. Hopefully I can sell them soon. :)

Here's the link on CL:

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/pts/543836058.html

Update: They're gone. I sold them for $1300. I sold them to a guy with an e36 328i. Looked really nice on his car.

2007-11-11T14:47:00.000-08:00

I decided to test the speed of our connection. Here's what I found:

COD 4: Modern Warfare

2007-11-06T16:17:00.000-08:00

Damn, the graphics on this game is awesome!!! I haven't gotten it yet. I'm still debating if I should because my computer just barely makes the minimum requirements. Oh well, I guess I'll have to think about it more.

Almost done...RN here I come!!!

2007-11-03T10:28:00.000-07:00

Well, I just have 6 more months till I graduate and recieve my degree for nursing. Seems like yesterday that I was just starting out....actually it was fairly recent (a little over a year ago). After I pass my boards, I'll be a registered nurse. I can finally start making money again!!! But its been pretty trying these past couple weeks. Oh well, I just have to keep pushing.

I was thinking about replacing my nursing watch. It was a cheapass Target watch. It does the job but the band is made from cloth (great for harboring microbes). What an excuse. Oh well, I found this really cool Nixon watch on ebay. It has everything I need: seconds hand to count pulse and respirations as well as rubber band to prevent growth of any "super bugs". I'm going to try and bid on it on Ebay. But they're going for a really high price though. We'll see.

Two days in a row!!!!

2007-10-30T17:01:00.000-07:00

Man, who would have thought that I'd post another entry on the following day. So, I was browsing Rex's blog and decided to take his test. Here's the outcome:

You are The Lovers

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse.

The Lovers represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made.

Originally, this card was called just LOVE. And that's actually more apt than "Lovers." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that the you have or will come across a person, career, challenge or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

Long time no see.

2007-10-29T21:34:00.000-07:00

Well, its been a hell of a long time since I've been on here. Hmmm, let's see. The wifey and I are going to Taiwan in December. I can't wait. We got a mini poodle. His name is Harry. And I'm back in school. Just a few more months till I graduate. Anyways, the guys have been playing RC recently. I've decided to do a few mods on the MGT.

Before (rear end):

After (front end):

The GPM aluminum shock towers, Associated shock caps, and Associated red springs (stiff) are the only upgrades I'll be doing. Oh, I also bought a crap load of extra parts too in case I break stuff (turnbuckles, A-Arms, and steering blocks). Hopefully I don't bust anything.

Live to WIN!!!!

2007-01-18T15:03:00.000-08:00

Wow, it's been a really long time since I posted anything on my blog site. But here's the lowdown:
- Finished up my first semester of nursing school.
- Went to Hawaii with my honey and also my sister and brother in law.
- Played a lot of rFactor.
- Playing a lot of WoW (World of Warcraft).
Now, schools starting up pretty soon. So I'm trying to level up my character in WoW as much as possible. hahhahah....

Here's a few pics of me riding the Gryphon:

BMW M3 Grand Prix Macau 1991

2006-03-04T22:39:00.000-08:00

So this weekend Daph and I went to a BMW museum and saw this!!!

Just Kidding...actually it's an 1:18 AUTOart model of the 1991 BMW M3 that raced in Macau. Here's a little history.

"1991 was the first year that the DTM factory teams of BMW and Mercedes-Benz raced in Asia alongside Group A contenders such as the Nissan Skyline GTR, a car which had won practically every race held in Asia and Australia at one time or another. Sponsored by Watson, the BMW factory team Schnitzer, entered two BMW M3 DTMs in the Guia saloon car race. Mercedes-Benz countered with three 190E 2.5-16V EVO II DTMs. Emanuella Pirro, driving a BMW M3, car #6, easily assumed the lead and won the race comfortably. Two Mercedes-Benz 190E DTMs took second and third places while the other BMW M3 DTM finished fourth."

Well, I'm so busy these days and the weather's been pretty bad.....so I can't even give my car a good wash. So, I need to take advantage of all this rain. Like this lady......

Evolution of My 1988 BMW M3

2006-02-01T17:32:00.000-08:00

Here is an older pic of the M3 with my first set of wheels (17x7.5 Replica 1995 M3 wheels by AT Italia).

Here's a newer pic with my favorite wheels (17x8.5 BBS). I still have them and am going to refinish them later on sometime down the road. I don't think I can get rid of these wheels.

And here's the M3 with the newest set of wheels (17x8 Forged Throwing Stars by BMW). They're still a bit dirty. I didn't have time to wash them yet. Sorry bout the dark ass pics.

Christmas is Here!!!!!!

2005-12-25T12:36:00.000-08:00

Wow, I received a lot of cool stuff this year from everyone. Got a lot of golf clothes from D, G, & K! I look like a golf GOD!!! D also got me Banana Republic clothes as well. She also got me a momentus swing trainer, a 9' x 3' putting mat, and PSP games. What a great wifey!!!! D got me a 155 pc. Craftsman tool set. I put it together once I woke up. It's really nice. Now I can give him back his stuff.My parents got me and D a huge atomic clock for our family room. What a great Christmas!!!

G brought K to the airport this morning. I hope she has fun in Hawaii. After G dropped her off, he came back to my place. We then decided to have the first ever DB Invitational Golf Tourney!!!!! Here's some pics:

It was pretty stressing. G had me for the first 2 rounds. But then I came back in the 3rd round and won. What a great competitor G was!!! Always putting pressure on me! It was fun. I can now say that I won a tournament. I also pocketed $5!!!!!!!!! Booyah!!!!!!!!

Christmas is almost here!!!!

2005-12-20T14:07:00.000-08:00

Well, Christmas is almost here! One event that signifies this is our annual Christmas get-together. It was fun!!! Thanks G & K for setting it up for us. Once D & I got there we were welcomed with delicious appetizers or "hors devours". Then once dinner started we all were assigned seats at their "Godfather" dinner table. The food was great!!! After that, we traded gifts from our secret Santa. I had R and he had me!!! We both got each other PSP games!!! I got Socom: Fire Team Bravo. Best game out there (that I've played) for FPS. Actually, maybe it's the only one out there. Once that was finished, we played Cranium Turbo Ed. D, J, and I got beat like step children!!! R, S, & R came from behind to thwart G, K, & D and take the victory.

As for j-dramas, I just finished Yamato Nadeshiko (Perfect Woman). I thought it was pretty good. Probably an 8 out 10. I think I'm going to take a break from j-dramas and start watching LOST. G let me borrow it and he highly recommends it. So I'll be doing that for the next few days.

Finally Over!!!!!!!!!

2005-12-16T01:28:00.000-08:00

Oh man. I just took my nutrition final today. Man, I can't believe that I finally finished ALL my pre-requisites for school. I'm so burned from school and work. But it's the holidays and I'm going to party it up. This weekend is G & K's Christmas party. I can't wait! I get to see and hang out with everyone again. It's been a while. We'll be having great food, a gift exchange, and games (maybe poker)! If it's poker, I'll definitely school the guys!!!!!!! I'm going to relax now and catch up on some much needed rest and relaxation (maybe watch a couple of j-dramas).

Busy Busy

2005-10-17T20:25:00.000-07:00

Well, I've been really busy the past few weeks. Had my dad's retirement party a couple of weeks ago. It was pretty fun. I got drunk as usual (got to take advantage of the open bar). I also got fitted for a new set of clubs. D, G, and K got me a gift cert. to Golfsmith. I got a set of Lynx H3 irons (3-5 are hybrids and 6-sw are cavity back irons). I've got to say that Dublin's Golfsmith salespeople are a hell of a lot better than Fremont's Golfsmith. The guys at Dublin GS were very helpful, explaining everything and also testing me for custom clubs. Fremont's GS didn't help me one bit with clubs. Oh well, they suck. I've also been trying to fix my car. I installed my new hoses and thermostat. So, I thought everything was cool. I took the M3 out for a drive and wouldn't you know it, I got a big puddle of blue/green coolant under my car. So J and I had to take the air box, plenum and alternator off again and torque all the clamps down to make sure the hoses wouldn't leak again. After putting the hoses back, I had a little problem with my alternator. Took my alternator into Autozone to get it tested. Everything was ok. So we cleaned all the connections and popped everything back in. Took the car out and no leaks or dummy lights coming on. So I guess everything is prepped and ready for this weekend. I'm going to Marina Airport and running the M3 in a car control clinic. I'm really excited. I want to find the limits of my car and myself as a driver. Hopefully I can have someone take pics of me at the clinic while I'm driving. So we'll see.

Congrats Honey!!!

My wife just bought a 2001 BMW 525i. It's really nice. Here are some pics.

Relaxing Day

2005-09-25T01:26:00.000-07:00

Well, my big bro got moved into his new place today. He didn't have that much stuff, so it was pretty easy. After we took everything out of the u-haul, the fellas and I had decided to have a little b-day celebration for our buddy who turned 34 last week. So the guys went out and bought a bbq grill, hot dogs, and 4 huge slabs of pork ribs. Oh, I can't forget about the Fat Tire beer. So, we had a great time hanging out with family and friends. Man, I love weekends like this!!!!

Need to start putting things together.

2005-09-15T23:23:00.000-07:00

Well, I finally got my M3 floor mats. I had won them on ebay. So I paid for them and no response from the seller. I was getting kinda scared. I sent a couple emails and finally they email me back. They said they didn't have them in stock. I was pretty pissed that they put an item up for bid and when I had finally won it, they said they didn't have it. They told me that it'd be on the truck coming the next day and they'd email me when they send it out. I wait 3 days and still no email. So here we go again. I start bombarding them with emails. Finally they said that it didn't come in and they would be happy to refund my money. I said no b/c I got it for such a good price at $88 (orig. $115). So the next day they said they were coming in the next few days. But the best part of it is that they refunded me $44 for my troubles. So I got these $115 M3 floor mats for $44. Here's a pic of them:

Some other stuff I need to do:

Paint my calipers black with G2 caliper paint. Also Daph bought me Evo brake rotors and Hawk HPS brake pads for my birthday (she's so sweet). Can't wait to get those in.

Install my Samco silicone hoses.

Wheel Craze

2005-09-13T00:35:00.000-07:00

Well, all this talk about everyone fixing up their cars made me think. I love my wheels but I was thinking maybe it's time for something new. I was thinking about getting 17x8 AC Schnitzer Type 1 3pc. wheels. But I don't think I'll get em. I really like my 17x8.5 BBS RS 3pc. wheels. Here's some pics.

I hate writing papers!!!!

2005-09-11T22:53:00.000-07:00

Well, today was spent writing my nutrition paper. It sucks!!!! But, I got to hang out with my wife here and there today. That's always fun! Also, had dinner with my sister. She's fun to hang out with too. But tomorrow is Monday and the start of a new week. Oh well.

My First Blog

2005-09-10T21:50:00.000-07:00

Well, this is my first post!!! Daph, Dom, John, Ray, and I went to BMW of Mountain View to look at a 1997 M3 vert. Saw it and the thing looked like crap. So we decided to take a look at the Mini. Once Daph sat in it, I think she fell in love. The sales person said that we have to make an appointment to take a test drive. Then we'd have to order it. It would take 3 months to come in. We'd probably be at home with a red mini w/ sport package and paddle shifters if he'd let us buy it off the lot. So, I think Daph might consider waiting 3 months for it. We'll see.
