R.I.P. George Carlin

Almost forgot about this.

I was saddened to hear that beloved comic George Carlin passed away. I'm not into too many comics to begin with but have been hooked to his material ever since. I was going to put a clip of one of his shows but the network here in the Disney resort blocked out youtube.com. I'll put one up once we're back in Miami.

Hello from Disney's Vero Beach resort!!!

In light of my current job situation I was thinking about not going but since all we were going to do is spend time in the sun and soak in the pool...I thought "What the hell?" I worked pretty damn hard and put up with a lot while working at Carnival.

My wife's parents invited us to tag along to their hotel in Walt Disney World for the first 3 days and then we switched to Disney's Vero Beach resort in Vero Beach, of course. Nice quiet little town. Not a whole lot to do but sit back and relax. We might go and see Wall-E this Friday. I'll give you the scoop if we do.

I got a pretty nasty sun burn all over my face, shoulders and upper back. Not pleasant when I try to switch positions in the middle of the night.

A bit of good news for me I thought I'd share. I went to apply at a Regal Movie Theater near my home but they don't get a lot of business so the General Manager referred me to another location of theirs and advised that he knows for sure they're in need of Associate Managers and associates as well. He gave me is email and told me to send him my resume and I just checked my email and received one from the other GM saying he wants to meet me for the Associate Manager position. Cross your fingers everyone and say a little prayer for me. I'll keep you updated.

When it rains, it pours

I was just feeling a bit blue about a lot of things and I heard this song today and thought I'd share it with you guys. I could relate to the lyrics. I'll be back later to let you know about my day yesterday...which sucked by the way.



Hey, man Im alive Im takin each day and night at a time
Im feelin like a monday but someday Ill be saturday night

Hey, my name is jim, where did I go wrong
My lifes a bargain basement, all the good shits gone
I just cant hold a job, where do I belong
Im sleeping in my car, my dreams move on

My name is billy jean, my love was bought and sold
Im only sixteen, I feel a hundred years old
My foster daddy went, took my innocence away
The street life aint much better, but at least I get paid

And tuesday just might go my way
It cant get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, fridays aint been kind
But somehow Ill survive

Hey man Im alive Im takin each day and night at a time
Yeah Im down, but I know Ill get by
Hey hey hey hey, man gotta live my life
Like I aint got nothin but this roll of the dice
Im feelin like a monday, but someday Ill be saturday night

Now I cant say my name, and tell you where I am
I want to roll myself away, dont know if I can

I wish that I could be in some other time and place
With someone elses soul, someone elses face

Oh, tuesday just might go my way
It cant get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, fridays aint been kind
But somehow Ill survive

Hey, man Im alive Im takin each day and night at a time
Yeah Im down, but I know Ill get by
Hey hey hey hey, man gotta live my life
Im gonna pick up all the pieces and whats left of my pride
Im feelin like a monday, but someday Ill be saturday night

Saturday night here we go
Some day Ill be saturday night
Ill be back on my feet, Ill be doin alright
It may not be tomorrow baby, thats ok
I aint goin down, gonna find a way, hey hey hey

Hey man Im alive Im takin each day and night at a time
Yeah, Im down, but I know Ill get by
Hey hey hey hey, man, gotta live my life
Like I aint got nothin but this roll of the dice
Im feelin like a monday, but someday Ill be saturday night
Im feelin like a monday, but someday Ill be saturday night
Saturday night __________,all right, all right
Saturday night

Do you have a zombie plan?

I'm a huge fan of George Romero's zombie flicks. I've had the pleasure of meeting him and he's a humble guy with great vision for zombie stories. Sure, there were a lot of zombie movies made after the great ones like "Night of the Living Dead" and "Dawn of the Dead", just to name a few, but most of those were crap.

Anywho, for many years a lot of people posed the question "What would you do if a zombie infestation broke out?" or more famously "What's your zombie plan?" Well, I'd go straight to a Super Wal-Mart while hitting any gun stores along the way. Sure, most Super Wal-Marts have hunting rifles and maybe some hand guns but there's more variety in the gun stores. Why the Super Wal-Mart beside the aforementioned reason? It has everything you need to wait out the zombies, i.e. food, electronics, toys, beds, etc. Only issue would be what kind of zombies? Are they George Romero's kind, slow and dumb, or the remade "Dawn of the Dead" or "28 Days Laters" version, fast and intelligent. Then you just have to block of the main entrances. Yes, I have thought about this, lol.

So...what's your zombie plan?

Here's an short made by recording a Halo multiplayer match. Enjoy

Update

I know it's been a while and seeing as I have a bit of free time on my hands at the moment, I thought I'd come on here and see what's up.

I no longer work at Carnival Cruise Lines. I was extremely happy there and very proud of myself since I'd been there longer than any other job I've had in the past. I was 2 weeks or so shy of a year when I was informed the company was letting me go. It seems that the cruising industry is not doing so well what with the economy going bad and no one can afford to go cruising now a days.

It just so happens that I was let go at a very bad time as the owner of the townhome I was living in decided he is selling the place and we had until the end of our lease to find a new home. We did, and we love it. It's much more "roomy" and not a bad price considering how most townhomes in as good condition as ours is in are much higher.

So I'm going on my job hunt. It feels weird to start all over again since I was at CCL for almost a year and after all the trainings and new changes that went on within the company but hey, no reason to look behind and worry, just have to look forward and do what I have to do.

Oh, did I mention my wife is once again pregnant? HA!! When it rains, it pours. Not that we don't want it or welcome it, it's just it came at a bad time, such as it is. I am, however, happy as a pig in sh*t. lol! One thing I love being most is a father, next to a loving husband, and I know that I can do things better this time around as I had to do a lot of growing up to do with my daughter. Plus, my wife has this wonderful and beautiful glow about her when she was pregnant and I'm looking forward to that....amongst other things. lol, the wifey knows what I'm talking about.

And on a last note, for anyone that has any contact with my mother or anyone that could relay the message to my mother, please don't!! Only a select few know and she is currently visiting my brother in Tennessee until next month and I don't want to worry her during her much deserved vacation.


Until next time.
