You're How Old?!

That day is here again. The day of my birth! The day humanity was blessed with my presence (Ok I'm full of myself). How old? Hmmmm. However, I tend to celebrate internally is March 17. Not because it is St. Patrick's day but because it was the day my life was changed drastically in a blink. Ironic it happened on the day we celebrate as the day of good luck.

"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive that is Youer than You."

I find myself thinking of the good memories and very few come out. Out of my many years cycling and all the places I've been I have great memories of the mountain bike day trips crammed up in my friend Ed's small pick up truck. The rides with the old guys from Team Dirty Work in Riverside and the times with "J". Lately nothing compares and this needs to be fixed in my "next 30 years" as the song says. No, I don't need to stop smoking or drinking as I never started. Just need to create more good times to remember.

The temperatures have changed to more spring like weather and decided to unwrapped my barbecues and do some cooking. A few days ago I was shoveling about a foot of snow and now I am outside barbecuing  got to love California. Checking out fishing gear as I am getting the urge to hit Deep Creek with Natalia. I doubt any trout will be present. But we will hit other spots. Even if I don't catch anything I still like to go out and walk. However, Natalia again sick with fever and not her normal self and many sleepless nights for me. I nursed her and she is much better now.

Again at work I was approached and offered a position as supervisor in the back room. This means full time and a little less time with Natalia. I know I can do the job no problem. Just will take some adjusting and seeing how far I can push the department managers to get their job done. I may end up being too much of a "hard ass" which people never seen. I'm afraid I may take my military side and apply it there. Most likely I will decline again as the pay is not much greater and that extra day with Natalia is more to me than work. But good to know I was approached and know that I can do any job there.

Finished reading Marsbound by Joe Haldeman and found it very entertaining with some cool concepts. I will definitely be reading the next book in the series. Jumped back in to the Old Man's War universe for Scalzi's fourth book in Zoe's Tale and finished it rather quick. A good story as it retells the previous book from Zoe's viewpoint. Now I hope John Scalzi writes about their stories on their new home, Earth. Now to wait for the soon to be released Human Division in May.

Check out the latest Sword & Laser Episode with R.A. Salvatore. One of my favorites and I get the inside on the origin of Drizzt. Now I have to re-read The Crystal Shard and the newly released Last Threshold before the new change in the world with The Companions. Looks like I will change to fantasy books after a long stint in the sci-fi realm.

Looks like New York can keep drinking "sugary drinks", but Mayor Bloomberg for some reason still wants to ban the sale of drinks over 16oz. I have known about this for some time and must point it out to many that are unaware. A city in the United States of America telling you what you can drink and how much you can drink. It is simply insane that a person let alone a Mayor of a city can tell its people this. Talk about governing over its citizens. Shut up slave! It's the United States of America if you want to drink a huge cup of soda or drink soda all day long, feel free to do it.

Here is something geeky for Star Wars fans and fans of everything 80s like myself. What if Star Wars was a 1980s John Hughes movie? >>

Not a Jim Carrie fan but the previous Kick Ass movie was pretty good. This one looks like they are pushing it just a little more. Why is this movie not banned? It has guns, violence, kids and school scenes. Is it because "Hollywood" controls part of government? Oh, sorry it has the "Mature Audiences Only" warning for a few seconds so it is good and keeps everyone safe.
