Aquariums

Josh — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 18:20:39 +0000

There are many aquariums across the country and from what I hear, the one in Atlanta is one of the best.I have not seen that one yet.

There is a really nice one in Baltimore and I go there every couple of years to look at all the exhibits.

I hear the one near San Francisco is also very good. That’s a long way to go for an aquarium, but if I ever get the chance to go out West then I will try to get tickets to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Summer Blockbusters

Josh — Sat, 23 May 2009 22:16:50 +0000

The summer blockbusters are starting to get the advance publicity and commercials. All the talk show hosts are having movie stars as guests who are there to promote their new movies.

I’m looking forward to some great new action films, like the new Star Wars and the new Terminator. In a few weeks the new Transformers will be in theaters. This will be a summer of big movies, I can already tell.

Looking Back

Josh — Fri, 22 May 2009 15:38:40 +0000

Lately I’ve gone back and read over some of the blogs I have written. I noticed one thing in particular and that is that they sound a little negative. I think part of the reason is that I am obsessed with the news. It’s the first thing I put on when I get home from work and it’s the first thing I look at on the computer. CNN has become my obsession. Which isn’t that bad considering it’s good to know what is going on in the world. But now it is time for a change. I am going to make a conscious effort to be more positive and upbeat in my blogs. No more horror stories about the Craigslist killer or anything of the like. We’ll see how far it goes and how many funny, positive blogs I can write before going back to my obsession with CNN.

Summer Vacations

Josh — Sat, 16 May 2009 15:31:29 +0000

I just found out from a friend of mine that he and his wife are headed to the Bahamas for a four day weekend. How great for them that is. I couldn’t help but feel a little envious. I know that’s bad but I tried to contol it. I think I’m doing a little too much of working and not quite enough of living. I feel myself becoming envious of others that are going on vacation and losing their jobs. How funny is that to envy someone who just lost their job?? I think it’s time to take my wife to her favorite vacation destination. You guessed it Las Vegas! Time to stop writing and start packing.

The start of May

Josh — Wed, 06 May 2009 15:24:24 +0000

Okay I understand that it is the beginning of May which usually reminds us of the beginning of Summer. Not to mention the end of the school year. So why is it so cold out still! I am still wearing my heavy winter coat to work. I know exactly what you are thinking- global warming. Well it seems a little weird to me to have the temperatures in the 40′s during May and in the 70′s during November. Does global warming mean pretty soon we are going to be celebrating Christmas in our bathing suits on our decks and patios?? Does it mean we will never again see a white Christmas? This global warming stuff is a little too strange for me. That’s all I have to say have a nice day and stay warm if you can.

April

Josh — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 17:08:41 +0000

This has been a strange month for weather. It has rained a lot which is normal for the month of April, but the changes in the temperature are so unusual. It has been extremely cold for this time of the year. I was still wearing my winter coat up through the first two weeks of the month. Then all of a sudden the weather was beautiful. It was in the high 80′s yesterday. Unfortunately, today we woke up to rain and of course cooler temperatures along with it. The temperature has dropped 30 degrees from yesterday. Hopefully over the next week or so warm weather will be here to stay. At least for a few months.

Buying off of Ebay

Josh — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 17:28:29 +0000

Ebay is one of my favorite sites on the internet. They have great products for great prices and a huge selection of things as well. I have bought things off of Ebay for years, but finally made the first purchase for myself the other week. It was a digital camera. I received it in the mail yesterday. It was a used item which I was a little worried about but everything seems to be fine with it. I was using it last night at an event in DC. It worked great and the pictures turned out perfectly too. The best part of the whole deal is that I bought it for $29.99 which is less than half price if I would have bought it from a store. I don’t really mind that it’s been used either, because there is a 30 return policy on it. Like I said I love Ebay.

Relaxing

Josh — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 04:49:46 +0000

I have been taking sometime off these past couple of weeks to rest. I haven’t planned any activiites and I have even taken some time off of work to just have a few days of R & R. I didn’t realize how badly my body needed it. There have been 2 days where I ended up sleeping until 1:00 PM. Then there have also been days where I worked out and worked on the computer and just caught up on a lot of things that I had been setting aside. I am feeling so much better and I’m ready to get back to work. It’s a good thing too because I don’t think I have another day off for eight more days!

Learning Spanish

Josh — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 16:34:15 +0000

I don’t know how many years I’ve been saying I’m going to learn Spanish. I need it for my job, I have friends that speak Spanish, and It’s just good to speak more than one language. You look so much smarter on your resume. Anyhow the reason I’m bringing this up is because I found the greatest thing on the internet. It’s from Rosetta Stone and you install it on your computer to learn a foreign language. It allows you to do 2 things at once which I love. It will change your computer to show you websites, etc. all in Spanish. It’s a great tool if you are interested in learning a foreign language.

Chat City-BBW

Josh — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 15:35:52 +0000

I bet the majority of our time as Americans is spent on-line. I know these days I read the news on-line, check my email everyday and even talk to friends and family online. My cell phone has become pretty much a thing of the past. That is why I love bbwchatcity.com so much. You can even meet new friends and people through the internet. You can socialize and gossip without leaving the comforts of your home. It’s free and easy to use try it for yourself at BBW Chat Room.

U2 Tickets-Get Me In

Josh — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 17:02:22 +0000

I don’t know how many groups have been around for as long as U2. I remember listening to their music way back in the 80′s. At my high school they were huge. Back then unfortunately I was too young and too broke to see them live in concert. All that has changed since it is 20 years later and they are on tour once again. A website called U2 tickets sells and buys U2 tickets in a fast and safe way. In fact the sales are all gauranteed. Get Me In is part of a larger chain called Ticketmaster so you don’t have to worry at all if the transaction is safe. Take a look for yourself at their website and we’ll see you at the next U2 show!

Chicago

Josh — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 04:34:00 +0000

Chicago has always been known as the windy city. One reason is because it is located up north and near the Great Lakes that surround Michigan. The temperatures can get quite cold in the winter, but there isn’t a better place to live that offers so many job opportunities. With the high population, the colleges, and the excellent job market these days you can’t go wrong chosing Chicago as your home. If you haven’t been to this amazing city make sure you make it there on your next vacation. Go to Chicago Jobs and see for yourself all this city has to offer.

Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures

Josh — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 03:28:39 +0000

People have just gone crazy. I just read how a man decided to get his business going in these rough economic times. You wont believe what business he started. He is running a topless coffee shop. Not exactly like your average Starbucks coffee shop, but apparently this coffee shop is doing great. In fact the business is booming during this tough recession. He said that the applications are rolling in from women and men alike. With so many people out of work people are willing to do just about anything to make a buck. More than a buck is probably what you would earn from working here too. One woman claims a man gave her a $100 tip just for bringing him his coffee. Like I said people are crazy!

It’s Finally Friday

Josh — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 15:22:32 +0000

Today is the last day of the work week and payday. The other thing it is is almost the end of the month of February. I am so glad that March is almost here. March is my favorite month since Spring is right around the corner. Not only that though but March is my wife’s birthday and our anniversary as well. I have always loved March but now with these two occassions as well I really I really love it.

I have a couple of ideas for her birthday but I’m not sure if I can pull them off this year. I want to take her on vacation to a place she has never seen. She loves to travel and hasn’t had the opportunity to do so in a long time. Once I get my stimulus check I’m going to use it on her. Whether it be buying her a plane ticket or buying her a day to the spa. Whatever the case may be she deserves it.

Air Hockey

Josh — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 05:31:19 +0000

Air hockey has become a popular game across the country. Take a look for yourself at this website Air Hockey Table. Maybe even sign up to become a http://www.airhockey.com/node/26 that is going to happen in Texas. Who would have thought a game we all use to play as kids is now a popular past time.
