Last year, I started a list of 75 things I wanted to do before I died. Unfortunately, I havent had time to really work on those, but I anticipate having a lot more free time to devote to more blogging. I still plan on continuing my “beat every mario in order” idea, but I think I need to start over again. Instead of going over everything i’ll be doing, I am going to just briefly update the blog as I do it. Once I get caught up, I will go into further details on my quests through the mushroom kingdom. Expect a lot more activity in the coming weeks on this blog. I have a lot I want to talk about!!

Terrell Owens Cut By Dallas Cowboys – March 4th

admin — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 05:10:35 +0000

On wednesday March 4th, the Dallas Cowboys tumultuous relationship with the infamous wide receiver Terrell Owens Came to an end. This ends three seasons of drama and entertainment in Dallas. Terrell Owens lead the league in touchdown passes during his three year stint with the cowboys. Apparently the off the field drama and locker room mayhem lead to the wide receivers release.

We will have more updates as they develop.

Where Do We Go From Here?

admin — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 14:51:22 +0000

I’ve been at a crossroads with this blog. I haven’t had a firm vision of where I want it to go. Through the last couple of years, I’ve dabbled in everything from Sports, Religion, Politics, and Relationships. As of late, I have been in a much more reflective mood. I’m trying to figure out where I am going as a professional and in my personal life. Add in the constant drama of being a 20-something in Dallas, and I think that this could be a good starting point for a “psedo-relaunch” of thispointofview.

Expect some Juice soon.

Entourage – Season 5 – Episode 8 – First Class Jerk

admin — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 19:16:33 +0000

First off, I need to start off by saying that Jerry Ferrara (Turtle) is actually dating Jamie-Lynn Sigler (Of Sapranos Fame) Oddly enough, they met on the set while filming this episode and hit it off.

I had heard Rumors of this, but it has recently been confirmed by Sports Illustrated. I’m proud of my boy representing and pulling some tail!

Honestly after an amazing 7th episode, I would have expected HBO to give Entourage a short Hiatus. It seemed like the right time.. sort of a mid-season break. I am really glad they didn’t. This season has been absolutely amazing.

Now for the summary:

The episode begins with the crew making their plans to head back to the mainland after their little stint in Hawaii. Unfortunately, Turtle must buy one first-class seat and three coach seats in order for all of the boys to get back on the same plane. Turtle wins a small bet and lands the seat in the front. Through a twist of fate, he ends up to a recently single Jamie-Lynn Sigler. She is distraught after a recent brake up, and Turtle does his best to cheer her up during the flight.

After they all land, Turtle’s friends are surprised to see Turtle and Jamie-Lynn still talking. Once she leaves, Eric and Drama begin harrassing Turtle about the entire situation. He finally gives in and claims that she gave him a “tug” on the plane. For the rest of the episode, Drama tells everyone he meets that Turtle is making these wild accusations.

During all of this, Ari is still contemplating the offer he received as Studio Head at Warners. Dana Gordon is still trying to convince Ari that she should be his number 2. While Ari is MIA, the entourage receives a call from none other than Josh Weinstein. The group agrees to meet with Josh but quickly finds out that he is just trying to sandbag them into accepting a television role for Vince.

Ultimately, the episode ends with Ari setting Dana up with the Studio head position. In turn, she agrees that she will take care of Vince and put him in “Smokejumpers.” Everyone heads out that night to celebrate the successes of the day and Jamie-Lynn shows up. She then confronts Turtle about running around town telling everyone about what happened on the plane. Drama tries to explain that it was him, but Jamie doesn’t listen. Turns out that he did tell the truth about what happened – and she would have slept with him.

Once again, I need to give it up to Turtle for being able to pull that amazing girl!

HBO airs Entourage every sunday night.

Debate – Nasa wont have a way to get to the space station for 5 years.

admin — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 20:15:44 +0000

My friends and I like to debate on our egroup. In honor of some of these debates, I will begin posting interesting arguments I have found right here under a debate tag. Give you opinions -

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/06/science/space/06gap.html?_r=1&hp=&adxnnl=1&pagewanted=1&adxnnlx=1223316072-01opCd8VkSjMXo9YX6Sc+g

“The gap is coming: from 2010, when the National Aeronautics and Space Administration shuts down the space shuttle program, to 2015, when the next generation of American spacecraft is scheduled to arrive, NASA expects to have no human flight capacity and will depend on Russia to get to the $100 billion station…”

Seriously? We couldn’t have added a couple of billion for NASA in the welfare bill?

———–

Challenger + Columbia = no budget for the shuttle program

time to move back to the more reliable way to send people into space… in a little capsule on a big ass rocket.

———–

Nothing wrong with changing vehicles, we just shouldn’t have to suck the Russian’s dick to get back to a station that we spent billions on. We can send a Wall Street welfare bill wrapped in bacon worth 840 billion dollars, but we can’t throw NASA a couple billion to keep us going in space? Talk about BS… Everyone should brush up on their Mandarin, because China is about to leap-frog us — using our own money, no doubt.

———–

once the space station is finished and Hubble has been worked on we won’t need the shuttle anymore. its a waste of resources to launch a shuttle just to carry people back and forth to the space station.

———–

what is China gonna do that we didn’t do 40 years ago?

I’m sure Obama is just chomping at the bit to waste billions of dollars sending up the shuttle when we can hitch a ride with the Russians and save billions of dollars, which ohh btw we get to spend on things like…. building a new vehicle for going back to the moon and to Mars.

———–

Check out SpaceX. They’re a commercial company founded by Elon Musk (paypal) and partially funded by NASA. They’re developing 3 rockets and a manned space craft. They’ve been around for about 6 years. They’ve already successfully launched the first rocket with less than 550 employees. Their goal is to reduce the cost of sending cargo to space by 10x. Their first rocket, Falcon 1, currently costs about $8 million a launch vs $30 million for the current most cheapest rocket.

iPhone Flash Player

Any nerd like me who owns an iPhone has heard the rumors that Adobe is building a flash player for the iPhone. However I agree more with this article on why it will never happen.

Kevin O’Connell has a tiny… what!?

chris — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 18:50:12 +0000

Right now you’re asking yourself who the f*ck is Kevin O’Connell? Well he is the little known third string quarterback for the New England Patriots who obviously likes to remind himself of his tiny member during practice? Apparently, the Boston Globe editors missed this little piece of gold before publishing the picture to the left in the Sunday edition of the paper. Good job guys!
