My Birthday: Take Two

A year ago today I was lost.
A year ago today I was heading to a devils hell.
A year ago today I was saved and born again.
A year ago this week I started going to church.
A year ago today my heart was breaking.
And a year ago today I put all that in the Lords hands and I KNOW where I am going when I die. Heaven.
Do you know where you are going when you die?

It has been a great year. Not the perfect year but it has been the easiest when dealing with the stresses of this life. I like to think I lead a pretty simple life but when it comes to matters of the heart I wear it on my sleeve. I used to think that I was doing something wrong. That it was me. The only thing I was doing wrong was not trusting the Lord that died for me and who knows what is best for me.

I still get sad or mad but at the end of the day I thank God for another day and each morning I pray for another day because I am not promised another. No one is.

I just want to thank God for putting my brother in a place where he can tell me about salvation. I also want to ask my brother John to chime in on the comments about Salvation.

Happy Birthday to me. :-)

Engine Running, Locked Out

So I am all ready to go to church this morning. Except for socks. So as I got to the garage to grab my socks from the dryer I start the SS so it can be warmed up by the time I'm ready. Once I get ready I find that the doors locked with the engine running. No problem. I have extras. The problem is I don't know where they are at.

The last time I used them was a few months ago. I checked my secret stash for the keys and they are not there. I called Rob to see if he can come over with a Slim Jim to unlock the door but he is on his way to his parents Restaurant. I ask him if he could get away to come help me out. Meantime I am checking everywhere for the keys. No where to be found.

I start thinking that they may be in the Vette but the Vettes alarm is armed and the keys are in the SS. I don't want to risk setting off the alarm with no keys so since the windows are cracked I used a broom stick to pop the glove box ever so gently and sure enough my spare SS keys are in there. I then unlock the doors from the inside with my hands, setting off the alarm, grab my SS keys, unlock it, search for the Vette keys and disarm it. Mission Completed and got to church about 20 minutes late.

Fooseball @Twitter

Two things I want to mention in this blog.

1. My fooseball table

2. Twitter

I bought this fooseball table awhile back from Javier but only recently have I started to really enjoy it. It is definately a good time waster but it is a whole lot of fun. At times we are dead serious playing and during other times we can't stop laughing and praire dogging it!

This evening Juan and I had a little tournament. First one to win 10 games is the winner. It was a blast and time flew so fast that before we knew it, it was 1A.M.!! We used Twitter to keep track of the score. Which brings me to #2 of this post.

Ever get text messages that simply ask "What are you doing?". Twitter is the answer to this. Once you sign up you send Twitter text messages or instant messages telling everyone who is "following" your Twitter page what it is you are doing. Did that make sense?

My Twitter page is here http://www.twitter.com/digiSal. In it you will see every message I have sent to Twitter. The latest 20 or so are the scores for each game Juan and I played. Also to the right of this page you can see my latest Twits.

If you sign up, follow me, and I shall follow you to.

What do you think of my Fooseball table?? The automatic scorekeeper is on the fritz right now. The buttons are there but the ball is not setting it off. I am going to look into getting replacements because we think there is a piece missing that would set off the score. So, for now we are keeping score with an abacus type thing on the table.

Drug Five Miles

What happens when you accidently close your door with your Mini- USB charger hanging out the side and you drive for five miles on the highway at speeds of about 60 MPH??

This is what you get.

When I got out of the SS I saw it hanging and then I saw the carnage!!! The second pic is with one that has not been drug, or dragged, or whatever the proper word is.

What an idiot!!

Me Lucky Charms

As I was leaving for work this morning I saw a rainbow. I had not seen one in as far back as I can remember. It is a damn shame Homosexuals have taken this natural beauty as their symbol for "I'm Gay and I'm Proud". If you see a rainbow sticker on a car chances are the drive is gay. "Not that there is anything wrong with that"

Either way. Rainbows are cool. Turns out there are many different kinds of formations but this is the only kind I ever see. I would love to see the ones that form a complete circle.

Road Work

Came home today during lunch for a pleasnt surprise! Last week their was a notice in my mailbox that the County was going to work on the street starting on the second, which they did but they just covered some of the holes, like the one pictured in the first pic.

I snapped some pics when I got out of work and they are doing pretty good. Looks like Lightning Maqueen was doing the work!

The first pic was taken 2 or 3 months before I moved in as you can see from the date stamp.

And in case you were wondering, thats my neighborhood and that is my flag. :-)

Fill 'er Up

Well, it is time to start putting more change back into the bottle. Hopefully it wont take 8 or 9 years to get half way.

I, like most people, like to keep change in the glove box of my vehicles for the drive thru choke and pukes.

So anyway, here goes a Dollar Coin to get it started.

Money From The Bottle





As, you can see in the pics the total was 492.59 cents, BUT five dollar bills were still stuck in the bottle. I used a stick to take them out later. I used one of the bills for lunch today so that is why there are only four bills in the pic. There was also 5 pesos, a bent penny, and a bent nickle that the bank rejected.

So, the winner of my lunch on me 7,7,7 game is Javier of www.mensageabierto.com who guessed 420 dollars. He also happens to be my staff of one.

Thanks for playing. Come again.

7,7,7


Here is my 7 and 7 and 7 for today. :-)

The funny thing is I can tell you exactly where I got these three bottles, but I won't. The really big bottle is actually a Piggy Bank. In the 8 or 9 years that I have had it, it is only filled up to in the middle of the big 7. I can't wait another 8 years to fill it so I am probably going to take it down to the bank on Monday and cash out. Any guesses as to the amount?

I'll buy lunch to the closest guesser.

Am I Dreaming

A few weeks back I read an How-To on how to Lucid Dream. When you lucid dream you have complete control of your dreams because you know you are dreaming. The article gave a few techniques on how to enter a lucid state. One was to ask yourself throughout the day, "Am I Dreaming" so that when you fall asleep you have the habit of asking yourself that. Another way was to look at your hands and feet. Supposedly, this would make you realize you are dreaming.

I have never been able to do any of these things in my sleep. Until last night.

I don't remember lots of details about the dream but I know someone died in a car explosion or car fire of some sort. I know it was two people, probably a couple. In the dream, I was in complete shock and I didn't want to believe that these people were dead. So, I started asking myself, "Am I dreaming?", but it still felt like real life. Then I started to look at my hands and down onto my feet but I was never able to realize I was dreaming. Well, maybe eventually I did because that is all I remember about the dream. But I was not lucid dreaming because I was not able to take control of the dream. Maybe I was just able to get out of it.

This concludes my Vanilla Sky-like moment.

GrandCentral Acquired by Google


The rumors were true. When I got home today and refreshed the GrandCentral Inbox the logo changed to a new From Google logo.

So that can only mean that Google bought Grandcentral. This is great. As I blogged before, I have been using GC for a good month now and I really like it. I can only assume that they are going to incorporate GC calls into Gtalk. As of now, GC works with the Gizmo Project to take calls on a PC, but if you ask me, it does not work that great and it is not very reliable. And if they do use Gtalk instead of Gizmo it is one more program I can uninstall and one more username and password I can do without.

Also, with this new acquisition they switched enrollment to invitation only. Read more at GC's Blog HERE and from Google's Blog HERE.

Google; one step closer to ruling the world.
