This World of Warcraft achievement should give you a title… me thinks Commander-in-Chief is suitable.

I’m back… and in order again. Took me long enough to upgrade my blog and database… so sad.
Interference?
July 14th, 2008
Do we really still live in an age where an mp3 player can interfere with an airplane’s electronics? Wouldn’t that be a much cheaper way (and easier getting through security) to terrorize air travelers?
Fine eating.

Isn’t it funny how the poorer we are, the more we must eat to become full?
$25!?

With Christmas rolling around, I decided to look up some cool new antenna balls for my car or as a gift.
The very same Jack-In-The-Box antenna balls that Mr. Cool Guy illegally displaced and discarded are all discontinued and/or rare. You can purchase these toppers online for a whopping $15-25 each!
I hope you’re reading this, Mr. Cool Guy, because you just threw away a gold mine!
Cool Guy, Who Are You?
October 25th, 2007
I’m gonna make some very cool guy famous!
The other day I had the good fortune to be blessed by the coolest guy in the world!
While in Wal-mart, this super cool guy approached my vehicle and removed the 6 Jack-In-The-Box Antenna balls and scattered them around the parking lot. When I returned I found a couple on the floor, and a couple on other vehicles nearby. I want to publicly congratulate this cool guy, and even give him an award for “The Coolest Guy in the World” but unfortunately I don’t know who he is!
So, Mr. Cool Guy, please please send me your name, number, and full address so I can properly label your trophy!!
Mas Massa
October 21st, 2007
Ok… you got me. “More” in Portuguese is “mais”.
In his home town, Felipe Massa took pole position and held first during most of the Brazilian Formula One Race on Sunday proving himself a contender and elevating to hero status. There is no doubt in my mind that he could have won that final race well ahead of everyone else. But he didn’t. Why not?
According to www.crash.net, Massa “promised to do everything within his power to aid Ferrari team-mate Kimi Raikkonen’s title bid.” A man of his word Massa, though holding first place during the race over his team-mate, started to slow his pace allowing Kimi to pass him for the championship winning 10-points awarded for first place. This vaulted Kimi just one point above the tied at 109 McLaren team-mates Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso. Afterwards, the Associated Press quoted Kimi saying, “Felipe has worked hard… he’s been a big help.”
Of course in the world of racing, a team-mate is expected to make such sacrifices and sometimes, they may even be an unwritten rule, especially if one isn’t in championship contention as Massa hadn’t been. But to allow a win to slip away on your own home turf with millions of adoring fans proud of their home-grown racing hero, requires an amount of honor seen very little of in our world.
While I must admit that I was rooting for Hamilton (along with most racing fans eager to see star rookies of Michael Jordan caliber win it all), I must say that I am truly impressed by the attitudes and demeanor of these spectacular drivers. Though without the “W”, Massa proved to his fans his unrelenting determination, harnessed skill, and noble character this past weekend and I can’t imagine Brazilians being any more proud! Awesome job, Felipe!
