Wings, Lions, and Pistons
My Dad, brother, and I were planning on getting some tickets for the Lions Thanksgiving game this year, so I’ve been keeping an eye on eBay. It looked like it was going to be at least $300 for 3 tickets to the game, and those aren’t even for the good seats. Yesterday I found a dream come true. There was an auction selling 3 tickets to the Detroit Red Wings vs. (...)

Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia Headphones
I bought a set of these Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia Headphones on eBay and they came yesterday. They are definitely worth the price for the quality that you receive. I think I paid less than $30 after shipping costs are included. They fit great in the ears and have two additional sizes of attachments if your ears are larger or smaller than average. (...)

More Google AdSense Updates
It looks like Google has done some updating with AdSense because I’m getting updated stats every few minutes. It used to take 30 minutes to an hour for stats to update and even then they seemed to be behind. Just what I need. It’s not like I don’t suffer from Repetitive Information Injury (RII) enough. Update: Seems to be performing how it used to again. (...)

If You Had All of the Money in the World
If you had all of the money in the world what would you do? Before you answer, understand it’s not a question about money. The average person must work 40 hours a week to make ends meet. If you had all of the money in the world you wouldn’t have to work that much. You could do whatever you wanted. So what would you do? (...)

Red Wings Can’t Be Beat
I haven’t watched any Red Wings hockey games yet this year, but I’ve been following the scores. They’re 12-1-0 which puts them 6 points ahead of the 2nd best team in the NHL!! They have 24 points which is 33% more than 2nd best Vancouver with 18. Everyone thought it would be a down year for the Wings. Quite the opposite. (...)

I Wonder
I wonder… Will I ever escape the Matrix? How old will I be before I stop playing video games? Do the houses used in the Real World have light switches? They never seem to be in the dark. Ever! How old will I be before I lose my hair and start to shave my head? When will we get the first woman president? How do babies survive and grow on only milk? Any answers? What do you wonder? (...)
Caught the Feeder
I just caught up on my feed reading. I had well over 100 unread items to go through. The count rarely gets above 30 because I usually check several times a day, but I’ve been a bit busy with other things so that hasn’t happened lately. (...)

Excited About the Future
I have a renewed excitement about the future lately and it’s all due to working out. I have more energy and I feel better about myself on both physical and mental levels. I’m getting more accomplished with my free time because I’m organized and I finally feel myself moving forward towards some of my goals. I’ve been stuck in the mud for too long. (...)

My Teeth Fell Out
Last night I had a dream I’ve had once before. Something was loose in my mouth so I reached in and a back tooth fell out. Then all of my teeth started to fall out. Talk about freaking out! During the dream though I remember thinking it was just a dream, but then it was reality. Boy was I glad to wake up from the nightmare and realize it was just a dream. (...)
