Welcome to my personal blog. It makes me happy to post humorously about current events and maybe make a little money on both sides. Enjoy the reading. See www.sukosaki.info, that is my other, newest, blog. Since this is PR 3, I will be keeping this one as well :)
Have you seen the previews for this new Tim Burton movie? I really like Johnny Deep as an actor. His new movie, named Sweeny Todd, fits right in with all the other "outside the norm" movies that he is a part of. You can see more information about the movie when you visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site or visit Sweeney Todd on Myspace.
On the buzznet.com web site you can give an actual confession. Confessions are a good way to vent or relieve some tension that has been building up through this holiday season. If I had to confess it would have to be that I have been trying to cheat at my football pool. I know, I know, it's not exactly that easy to do (which it's not), but I don't have a ton of time to watch every football game or read about every injury. I guess reading the "expert picks" isn't really cheating, but I still feel bad because I am trying to get some kind of influence from them.
I feel a little bit better, if you have a confession to make, go to the web site to give your own confession. Besides all of that, don't forget about the movie coming out soon!
After last week's butt kicking that I got in my football pool (picking 8 out of 16 against the spread), let's just see if I can't do a little better this week. With the spread killers from last week, I am sure the spreads will be a little more reasonable. No more 20 point spreads. Teams that are good are finally going to start losing. Either way, we'll see how I do.
Today's review is going to be on MetBoots.com. If you want good quality hiking boots and FREE shipping over $100, then you will have to head over to www.metboots.com. The web site has an easy to use navigation system in place that will get you to the exact pair of boots you are looking for in under 3 clicks. Not bad in my opinion.
There are many categories to choose from, as well as, boots from companies such as, Carolina, Converse, Danner, Dr. Martens, Nautilus, Rocky, Terra, Thorogood, and Wolverine. Making the shopping experience even better, you can shop by style (6" or 8" tall) or by brand. Don't forget the FREE shipping when your order is above $100. Plus they ship APO/FPO as well.
Did you see some of the spreads from this past week in football? NONE of the big teams covered and what the hell is this 22 points (on Yahoo) given to New England and they win by 3!? I wasn't even watching the game, because, like everyone else, figured them a major favorite. Another game that got me by surprise was the Pittsburgh/Miami game. 3-0! Wow! I think the full moon played a HUGE roll in what happened in football week 12.
Needless to say, I still picked 8 tough ones out of 16 games. I am still in second place in my pool, but if the weeks are going to be rough like this, I am not sure I will be able to get anywhere.
Can you believe this? New England is favored by 22 points over the Eagles this week. I have had a hard enough time trying to pick against the spread this year, I HATE games with spread this high. ONE injury on New England and they won't cover, it's nuts. But of course I will have to pick them, because all my other "just in case" picks will be taken. My "just in case" picks are those that I try to pick the underdog that MIGHT win, because everyone else will for sure pick the favorite. That puts my high in the standings at the end of the weekend. :)
I did a post about FreezeIt Gel a little while back and now they are asking for a contest entries. This post will be my entry and tell a short tale about how FreezeIt Gel would be perfect prize to win. Attached is a caricature of my fiance :) Read on.
It all started about 2 years ago, my fiance was attending a college of cosmetology in a nearby city. Everything was going great, she liked coloring hair, applying makeup and doing nails of customers she saw everyday. This was an accelerated college, which means the staff would try and cram "4 years of college" into 2 years. My fiance was there at least 5 days a week, if not 6 to keep up and stay ahead of the game. Things were quite stressful and then it happened. One snowy winter day, she was walking down into the basement of the old school house turned college. While navigating around some boxes on the steps, she slipped and fell to the bottom of the steps. Her right leg practically bent all the way above her shoulder. Picture doing the splits down a flight of 10 steps. She was with someone, thank God, and they made sure she was ok.
She was so nervous on this day to begin with because she had just had her own hair cut and was worried about my reaction (which was not a bad reaction I might add). To top it off, she falls down the steps. At this time I was working night shift and was awakening by my fiance sitting on the bed crying. I asked what was wrong and the tears started to flow. What she hoped would be a normal day with a surprise for me (her new hair cut), turned into one of pain and embarrassment. She told me the whole story and I couldn't believe she didn't break any bone or tear anything in her legs.
She did say that her back was bothering her, but was told to sign a slip of paper regarding the school's responsibility in the accident (bad move, but she was a wreck already). They claimed that she wasn't wearing the proper shoes, which I immediately disagreed with. She was wearing Sketchers with a decent sole that would help her in the snow. Anyway, we did end up going to the doctor. She was admitted quickly at our local walk-in clinic and sent out just as fast. When I asked her how it went, she told me the doctor made her try and touch her toes, which she could normally, and she was unable to do so. In a round about way the doctor said she wasn't trying and shouldn't be lazy about it. Mind you, she is in pain now. The doctor did NOTHING for her.
Over the next year or so, her back doesn't seem to hurt as bad, but every once in a while, she will get a sharp pain shoot through her back. Obviously, the pain is still there to some extent.
With all of that said, I would like to mention that I was part of the Freeze It Gel product sampling. Let me tell you first hand, that stuff works! I was impressed at how well it seemed to react to the pain in my fiances lower back and neck. She loved it and said that it didn't smell like other pain relief gels she has tried. She even asked me if it was available to purchase. I told her I would look into and when this contest came up, I thought was a perfect situation. A one year supply of Freeze It Gel would be the perfect surprise prescription for my fiances back pain.
The gel is perfect for sore muscles, muscular strains and even arthritis. I can say from experience that your sore muscles will LOVE this gel. See the Freeze It Gel commercial below.
How did this juicy little piece of "post of the day" material get passed me? I just saw on MSN front page that Puff Daddy, or P Diddy or Sean Combs or whatever, ran the New York City Marathon AND finished. His time was 4 hours, 14 minutes and 54 seconds. I think that is not bad for a guy that I am pretty sure hasn't run any distance in a while. Oh yeah, he also raised $2 million dollars at the same time.
I still can't believe this happened in 2003 and I wasn't aware of it. Hmm, oh well, he did raise money for his charity and a bunch of top names donated, including Ben Affleck, Bruce Willis and Jennifer Lopez.
We have all seen them. The real nice looking rocks out front of the largest home on the block. We are in awe of the delicate landscaping they have and envy it every time we drive past it. What is it about the rocks out front that are so great? Well, one of them is an address plaque. How cool is that? You can have your address engraved right on the rock face, that way it fits in with the rest of your beautiful landscaping.
How many of you have the ability to take a 1000 pound boulder, have your address carved into it and have it set in your front yard? Not many I bet. So what do you do if you can't afford something like that? Well, how about one from the Artificial Rocks Factory? That's right, they have rocks just like the ones you drool over, only these are artificial. The advantage of having artificial ones for one, is they are easy to move, cheaper to purchase and they are easy to change when you update your landscaping.
All of the models you can buy are hollow, about 1 inch thick and completely open at he bottom. This makes things a lot cheaper and easier for any home owner. You have your choice of 4 models that you can have a rust free aluminum address or welcome plaque installed on. You also get to choose from 3 colors, so you can bet at least one will fit your landscape. The rocks are shipped via Fed Ex Ground right to your door and if you have an address plaque made, it may take up to 15-20 days to arrive.
These are the perfect gift for any garden lover and you can bet people will think these look 100% like the real thing.
This week I am on top of the group going into Monday Nights game. It looks so far like I am going to win the week since Denver already has a 14-0 lead over Tennessee. I actually cannot lose this week, even if Denver does not win. The closest person to me is ONE point behind and he has Denver also. If they lose, the points stay the same and that puts me at the top. 2 weeks in a row, not bad if I say so myself.
Take a look at the Galco holsters on the 511tacticaloutdoors.com web site. What do you think of them? I really like the way this web site is set up and if you need anything police related, looks like they have it all. Tactical wear, holsters, protective equipment and much more. Take and look, I think you'll be impressed.
To sign up is FREE and UPLOAD your photos is easy. A lot of people have a digital camera and to take ONE good photo is becoming easier and easier. I entered this photo into a contest last year and was picked to go on to the next round of voting. It was taken with a simple Kodak Easyshare 5MP digital camera, with the black and white setting. I entered my picture at picture.com and never thought it was good enough after looking at the other submissions. After about 2 weeks or so, I did get a letter in the mail regarding my photo. It was voted to move on in the competition. I was pretty excited to say the least.
I love to take pictures and hopefully capture that amazing photo that is one of a kind. I am really into storms and trying to catch lightening as it flashes around the sky. I found the setting on my camera that allows the "shutter" to stay open longer and collect the "shot" over 8 seconds or so. At night it works perfectly because the only light in the bolt of lightening. Once I got that all worked out, I got this shot. I was in my backyard as the storm rolled in without rain up to this point. I was trying to get my camera pointed in the right direction. After about 15 misses, I figured I would just leave my camera pointing in one direction and hope for the best. Well, the next shot was this one. Amazing, I couldn't believe I got and because I was so excited I ran in the house to download it to my computer right away. What do you think? I think it's weird that it looks like the lightening is actually "pulling" away from the Earth, don't you? With all of that said, as you can see it is easy to take a shot worthy of winning in competitions. You might already have a winner on your camera or computer. Join for FREE and UPLOAD your picture, what can you lose?
What a good game. The Green Bay Packers pulled of another win this week. I didn't get a chance to watch it (was at work), but was listening quite intently on a local radio station. From the sound of it, was a pretty awesome game to watch! Plus with a WIN that helps me in my football pick 'em on Yahoo, but I will post about how that is going tomorrow.

Once again, I am calling mortgage companies to see if I can get a better interest rate than the one that I have. Last year I actually dealt with a California mortgage company and that was weird for some people. I live in the Midwest and some could not figure out why my mortgage was with them since they aren't in my state. There isn't any rule that says I have to have money from a bank in my state right? I did not think so.
But anyways, I will be calling and calling for a couple of weeks to see what I can get my rate down to. Lower the better obviously, but you just know it's not something the banks want to offer right away :) Gotta keep on them, that's the key! It would be nice for me to find a Wisconsin Mortgage company, but I am not going to hold my breath. :)
In case you didn't already know, I am a gamer type. I like to play MMORPG's like DDO (Dungeons & Dragons Online) and LOTRO (Lord of the Rings Online). As you may know, they are two very different games and I am starting to see the differences every day. I really like the DEPTH of LOTRO, but I hate all the walking. Those of you that have played know exactly what I mean!
I will post more about my experiences online again soon.

Once again, the Yankees and A-Rod agreed to a multi-year, multimillion dollar contract. Oh yeah, did I mention that if he breaks the homerun record, he could get millions more? The contract is for 10 MORE YEARS and $275 million. You heard it right, the guy is out of control and the Yankees know they have no choice, but to resign him.
Another web site pushing Online Coupons has spawned and wants you to SAVE big on holiday shopping this year. I am one to look through these types of web sites every so often, even more during the holiday seasons. This web site is updated many times a day with hundreds of merchants to choose from. They have DELL coupons, as well as, coupons for 123InkJets.com.
Saving money this holiday shopping season is quite easy when you use online coupons, especially when the layout and navigation are easy to use.
Yup, it is already that time of the year again. I wake up freezing, let the dog outside and it's FREEZING with frost on the groud. I guess I have to get ready to winterize my home. Which doesn't take all that much, but it's work I was putting off like usual and now it's crunch time and it has to be done.
