Baseball, the Beach & Vegas

So last weekend, I went to visit my friends up in beautiful Lakewood, CA (Long Beach). I went to a baseball game between the Edmonton Cracker Cats and the Long Beach Armada of Los Angeles of California of the United States of North America including Barrow, Alaska (aka the Armada). The Armada won the game, and one of the people that I went with was absolutely amazed that I knew every single word of "Oh, Canada". I then followed it up with a decent rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

On Sunday, I went to the Croakers and then followed them to Seal Beach in Orange County. I had fun at the beach and enjoyed the company of the entire crew.

Then on Monday, after enjoying the coolness of the beach communities of Lakewood, Long Beach and Seal Beach I transitioned to the presumed heat of Las Vegas. In reality, Las Vegas was pleasent highs in the 100-103 range, hot but manageable. I had the fun of showing a Vegas Virgin around town along with Tommy, who now lives there. Monday night, I played craps at the Excaliber, I bought in for $180, I went down to $24, only to rebound to cash out with $719. At one point in the trip I was up to nearly $900, I am sitting at work right now, after getting back around 2:30 this afternoon with only $2 in my pocket and oweing Matt for breakfast this am.

Now this is the way to END the summer

So I found out a couple of hours ago that with a little moving and shifting of some shifts at work, I'll be able to go to a beach party and then after a day to recover, I will be taking off to Vegas for the 1st annual MORT (Men Of the Round Table) convention.

I will be driving to Vegas, while portions of MORT will be flying in and riding back.

Thats it for now,




BTW, for those that care, Phil won the monopoly game earlier, and I was the only one that was still alive at the end. Funny issue arose at the end of the game, I owned one entire side of the board and a couple of RR also, while Phil owned the rest of the board. There were a total of around 5 times around the board, where I landed on either Free parking, the utilities, my RR, or go to Jail. I did this for like I said about 4 or 5 times around the board. It got absolutely hilarious as I started to call out the numbers I needed and rolled it.

DOND (Deal or No Deal for those that don't know)

Last night, I along with Amanda and Jesse (which they will refer to me as "a friend") went to see a taping of Deal or No Deal (episode #409, for those that care....it will air the night before the election) in Culver City. Side note: The studio lot in which DOND is shot, is not an easy one to find. So without giving too much away, the models (and my they are beautiful) have special dresses due to the election the next night, and for those guys out there.....pay close attention to the RED dresses.

I can't really say much else cause it might give too much information away.

Eaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrthquake

Yes, we had another earthquake in So Cal today. No, I didn't feel it, as a matter of fact, I slept through it (the second consecutive earthquake that I have slept through, damn).

I just got done watching the early news here in San Diego. One of the last stories they had made alot of sense. If you have a family member that lives in another state than you do, you can use them to funnel information through, and text them instead of calling it is easier.

For example: my sister lives in Las Vegas, I would text her saying that everything is ok. My Mom and Dad would do the same thing, and tehn she would text back to us, that eeryone is ok. It would take as few as 4 texts.

Talk about eye opening

So last night, I went and saw a taping of "The Moment of Truth". For those that have never seen the Fox network show. The premmise is simple in theory, you are asked 50 questions of which 22 are available (21 actual questions, and 1 alternate). The first level there are 6 questions, if you get those 6 correct you have won $10,000. Answer another 5 correct and you have $25,000. After question 15 you have $100,000. Then 200,000, 300,000 and if you get all 21 questions you win $500,000.

The contestant that I saw for the show was a chiropractor and former body builder from Miami, Fl.

Usually while watching the show, the first five questions are basic questions. This guys first question was "Do you believe that chiropractors are real doctors?" The second question with his brother on the stage with him, "Are you a better chiropractor than your brother?". It was his third question that really showed you where the show was heading....."Have you ever charged an insurance company for more treatments than are actually nessecarry?" and from there, the questions ranged from being investigated by the DEA to "Have you ever dated a pre-op transsexual?" It was wild, and one of those times where you walk out of the studio so shocked that all you can say is "wow".
