Hahaha! Gotta love horiscopes!

Ya know, Im not one for horiscopes, but Tiffany ended up signing me up on some daily email that I get and here is todays read:

Scorpio
October 23 - November 21To makes ones own mind up has never been an easy task. For you, dear Scorpio, it is particularly difficult. Today, something in the air will enable you to unify your thoughts. You will be able to take decisions fairly easily. But if you can't make your mind up on certain subjects, feel free to think a bit longer before you decide. There is no need to rush into things!

Sometimes ya gotta wonder if it's just pure luck that they get these like this! Yeah, today I've had to make some very difficult decisions, work-wise and even in my personal life.

Anyone else think these things are hokey??

Any day now............

Well, we're now down to days before little Alexander Christopher joins this world in which we live in.

If anything, the past 9 months has taught me a lot about myself and the kind of person I am and who I want to be. I have looked forward to this day my whole life, when a baby is born unto me and I get to partake in his/her upbringing and helping them mold into the person they will become. It really does make you stop, take a look around, and appreciate life for all its worth.

With doubts still at bay, Tiffany and I have both learned one thing, this is our baby! This baby will be brought up and raised as our child! I love the fact that this has brought Tiff and I this much closer and allowed us to again grow into a loving couple.

Tiffany is the love of my life. There is no other. Each day before I get out of bed, I take a few minutes to just lie there and stare at her sexy face, get under the sheets and kiss Alex and her belly good morning, and thank the heavens above for another chance to make things right in my life.

This process has really made me grow as a person and I'm starting to not take things for granted anymore. It's time to start thinking about my family and what I can provide for my family. After 9 years, its just not about me!

TABS!!!! You've won me back Explorer!

Hate on 'em all you want, but I've found a reason to return to Internet Explorer.

I'm an avid reader of Major Nelsons blog and he always is keeping us up to date with the new toys from Microsoft. I wasn't too keen on the whole MSN Search but when I discovered (yes, it's been out for a few weeks I guess) today that you can now use tabs in Explorer, I dumped my old girlfriend, Firefox, and rushed right back over to Explorer to give her a shot.

I'm gonna install all of the new toys that are out there for it and give it a thorough once over to see if I like it.

I'll post my thoughts in a few days after using it.

Goodbye Firefox! It's been fun, and you've kept me very happy. I must now go back to my first love!

Yes, geek that I am, I was glued to NASA.tv to watch the launch of Discovery this morning, and as planned, at 10:39am, she blasted off of launchpad 39B to give chase to the ISS.

It was a gorgeous launch and great to breathe a sigh of relief to finally make it back to space!

Check out www.space.com for a complete breakdown on the mission and to follow the crew along in their travels.

Telsa, still kickin ass!!!

Had a great time seeing one of my favorite bands, Tesla!

Yeah, yeah, a band from the 80's 'hair band' days, but wow, these guys can still kick some major ass. All 5 members of the band were in top notch form.

This being my 7th time seeing 'em I was a bit disappointed, they only played an 1hr 1/2 set. Kinda a bummer. Started out of course with 'Comin atcha! Live! and ended the night with Modern Day Cowboy.'

It was nice to hear 4 new songs from their latest album as well.

Couldn't beat it. My buddy Dylan picked up the tickets and we rolled with his wife and his brother. My brother was supposed to go but backed out at the last minute. Not sure what was up with that.

Good times though, can't wait to catch em again. Hopefully with a longer set list.

Scotty, a legend passes!

Today we lost a legend, mostly noted for the infamous Hollywood line "Beam me up Scotty".

James 'Scotty' Doohan passed away at the age of 85. The great Scottish accent will never be forgotten and the guy was one of my favorites in the series.

He will be missed!

Today marks the return to flight for the space shuttle program.

I have been an avid geek of everything space and witnessed the 2 shuttle tragedies along with damn near every launch that's taken place.

I am very excited to see NASA put this behind them and get back to doing what they've been good at doing, this time checking their ego's at the door! Remember guys, we are dealing with the lives of others, just because your degree says you know everything, take critism as well!.

The countdown is on! Launch at 3:51pm today! Go STS114!!!

EDIT: And just like that:

Discovery Launch Scrubbed

13 July 2005, 1:30 p.m. EDT

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – A low-level fuel sensor failure has scrubbed today’s launch of space shuttle Discovery. Details to follow.

.........and this week in the news!

So you think you've got it bad playing World of Warcraft or Halo 2 for endless hours?

Maybe you should take a trip to China and get yourself cured! Leave it to the Chinese to find a cure for this ailing disease! Now if we could get em to just focus on their bird flu epidemic and maybe AIDS or something, China just might be a hoppin place to live.

And in even funnier news yet, this kid may need to be the first American to take a trip over to test out the new facilities!!

Deep Impact............into the taxpayers wallet!

Now, don't get me wrong!

Im all for space exploration and discovering new things, but give me an f'n break!!! 333$ million dollars to slam a washing machine packed with 5 tons of explosives into an asteroid? Just what do you gain out of this?

I was talking with Vitamin B about this as I sat like a loon glued to the internet watching NASA TV, and we were discussing this very issue. What the hell can you possibly gain, knowledge wise out of this? "Welp, we put a nick in it!"

HAHA, I've heard some great things about this, like "just wait, it's probably some borg like object that is gonna be really pissed off now!" As it sinks its teeth into the Earth.

C'mon guys, I mean, send a man back to the moon or something. Just find something better to do with 333$ million dollars than blowing shit up for your enjoyment!
