I'm so much more optimistic in the morning. yes, I am not a morning person so that may seem odd. But for some reason I feel like all obstacles can be overcome in the morning.
Of course, by the evening, I think I am more of a realist and just want a beer.
See, here is proof that the people of NewYork City are nice:

Worried about the swine flu? Are you a woman? have you always wanted to kiss Brad? Of course you have.
Being the kind and gentle and caring man that I am, I offer to help out your immune system with a bit of kissing.
I know that it is still 6 weeks until Movenber. But I've been waking up lately thinking about what type of mo I am going to grow.
A quick google images search of mos has me wondering. I don't think i want to go all big and long but I don' want to look like a 70s bad cop with a short one.
Oh, if only I had the lip to try and pull off a Tom Selleck or a Sam Elliott.
What do green olives stuffed with jalapeno peppers have in common with peanut butter?
There are multiple jars of them at my place. It seems my mom thinks that i go through a jar of peanut butter and a jar of olives each week because she buys a jar of each for me each week.
I should have a martini party just to get rid of the olives.
"Is it possible for the rose to say, 'I will give my fragrance to the good people who smell me, but I will withhold it from the bad?' Or is it possible for the lamp to say, 'I will give my light to the good people in this room, but I will withhold it from the evil people'? Or can a tree say, 'I'll give my shade to the good people who rest under me, but I will withhold it from the bad'? These are images of what love is about."

I'm not the most religious person in the world and I have been known to hold a grudge but I do believe in second chances and I hope Micheal Vick makes the most out of his second chance. But I am sure the Pitino and Vick are happy about Brett Favre joining the Vikings to pull some of sports media frenzy away from them.
I'm sorry I haven't posted much lately ... wanna hear about my dream?
I leave on a one week trip tomorrow. Do I bring my own coffee with me? Or do I hope the hotels and local coffee shops will meet my needs?
I haven't packed a single thing but it seems I am more worried about packing coffee than anything else.
Would it be wrong to fake my own funeral? Of course it would be. But i woudl be curious as to what people would say. Who would show up? Who would NOT show up? Would there be a two drink minimum?
In High Fedelity Rob says, "Songs at my funeral: Many Rivers to Cross by Jimmy Cliff, Angel by Aretha Franklin, and I've always had this fantasy that some beautiful, tearful woman would insist on You're the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me by Gladys Knight. But who would that woman be?" But I would have to go with tearjerkers like Amazing Grace and the like. Gotta get some tearage. Don't want too much of the "celebrate his life" stuff. Although, Pakes [who would show up, damn it!] would probably tell some pretty good bar stories that surely would get some laughs.
Hmmm, what would you say about me at my funeral?
While I was working Sunday, two very intoxicated men came into the store asking for directions to the local tire store. Despite their insistence, I knew of no tire store nearby. These guys can barely stand. They are incredibly drunk.
I watched them leave and then head out to their car in the parking lot that had a flat tire. After a bit of stumbling around, they seem to realize that there is a spare tire in the trunk of their car. This is when i call the local police to tell them about a couple of drunks [who are still drinking BTW] changing the tire on their car with the intent of leaving.
Fort Collins is not that big. One can drive from one end to the other is 20 minutes. Maybe 30 if traffic is rough. More than an hour later, these drunks are no longer in the parking lot. I had watched them while I wasn't working and they were having a lot of trouble figuring out how to work the jack.
An hour ofter I called, they were still working on the tire and still drinking and still stumbling around. The police? No where to be seen. In fact, I did not see any police the whole day.
What a joke. The Fort Collins Police suck.
I think today is the bikini swimsuit's birthday. Haaaaappy birthday!
Oh, it's not the new iPhone 3Gs that is the problem, it's the weather. And all these people with discolored and too hot to touch your face iPhones thought it was the phone over-heating.
My phone does get hot when it is accessing the word a lot. When I'm surfing the web and downloading apps and have the bluetooth on at the same time, the bottom inch or so of the phone gets warm. Also, when plugged in to charge, it will get warm in the same area when I'm surfing the web. But nothing as hot as some of these reports.
So hot that the white case is discoloring? That is hot. Now, the reports that iPhones are getting so hot one cannot place them next to one's face, seemed like it might be an exaggeration. But if temperatures are getting to the point that cases are warping and bubbling and discoloring, I wouldn't want that next to my face either.
The fact that the phone has an overheat warning makes me realize that apple knew this would be an issue. Which totally sounds like a Dilbert cartoon – "Our product is hurting out consumers." "Make it a feature." – and not like apple. Steve Jobs must have been out of the office when that issue came up.
Hmmm, lettuce sandwich or peanut butter sandwich?
I guess it is time to go grocery shopping.
So, Phil's California is a bit to much in this video and it is an ad for one of his DVDs [the guy only made around 50 million last year, so, he needs to sell them] and shot is shot but ... wow, what a neat shot.

The latest version of Firefox was made available today. Firefox 3.5. I should be excited as it boasts faster speeds. When Safari released its latest version, I was impressed by its speed. It seemed fast even on my slow internet connection. I really wanted to use it. But the add-ons of Firefox kept me there. I just love Firefox.
Well, I'm not that excited about the so called faster Firefox because it seems to load up my web pages at the same speeds and the sample video on "Here's what is new" webpage took a while to load up. And the sad news is that not all my add-ons are compatible with Firefox 3.5.
The one I am missing the most right now is Coffee Cup. With one click it would load up a bunch of web pages I wanted to read that day. And i can program it to load up different websites depending on the day of the week. So, on Monda, Tuesday, and Firday it will load up in one of many tabs XKCD.com and not load it up on days it doesn't update - like Tuesdays and Thrusdays - which really is how I keep track of what day of the week it is 
If you are a Firefox fan, download the latest version and tell me if you see some improvements.
I remember people complaining that when apple claimed that their iPhone browser gave the full web experience, it was a lie because it didn't offer Flash. In fact, in the UK a few iPhone ads were taken off the air because of this - truth in advertising and all.
Since, I keep hearing complaints about the lack of Flash on smartphone webbrowsers. Well, yesterday Adobe announced that Flash would be coming to smartphones. Exciting stuff, right? I've heard some technical mumbo-jumbo as to why Flash will not be headed to the iPhone.
So, i figure I will patiently wait for flash - it's not like there is any main website I go to that has flash and really the flash players on sports sites I visit are kinda annoying as it is. And flash ads not shoing up isn't really a problem, if you catch my drift.
But then today, it was announced that Flash isn't just coming, it is here on the latest HTC phone HERO. HERO is the latest phone running Android OS. It runs the current v1.5 software but has a UI integrated [which is really a bunch of widgets] and it looks slick so people are exciteed about it.
Will i jump ship for a new phone because of this? No, of course not. But I will wait with a bit more anticipation for Flash to be reaching my phone.
It's not about the crime. It is about the lawyer.
I clicked a link this morning that showed a bit of irony in that one could get an iPhone cheaper by using Bing. Or is that "Bing!"?Anyway, it made me smile.
And what may be good news, it looks like the FCC is going to investigate phone manufacturers working out unique and exclusive deals with mobile phone providers. This can only be a good thing as being locked down to a certain provider can suck.

I cleaned my apartment today. It looks different clean.
I doubt it will last long but I will try.
