I was driving around getting lunch today, listening to ESPN Radio, and this commercial comes on. It has a man and a woman talking and the man is speaking about a concern of his. Apparently he is worried that his son is not going to be tall. The woman then proceeds to advise him of this product called Height-Grow that will help his child grow to his full potential AND with no prescription! The man is amazed and the ad goes on to give specifics of Height-Grow. They say it is an all natural supplement for people ages 12-20 and will help the increase how tall they will grow.

I mean come on. I can’t believe they didn’t even throw a guarantee at the end saying “guaranteed you child will grow taller or your money back”. What child is not getting taller aged 12-20. 2nd, since when did we become a nation that idolizes tall people. I’m considered tall, but I haven’t noticed ever getting special or better treatment from anyone. If anything I have to do more work to unscrew lightbulbs and reach things way up high. Finally, if this stuff even works, what does it do for kids who don’t hit their growth spurt till late in the teenage years. I was below average height until I was a Junior in HS. If my parents fed me this stuff when I was 12, I could have been one massively tall freak.

-Just wanted to comment on that.

–with any luck and blessing from the shipping gods I will have a 360 tomorrow.

Only one more week of work andthe Christmas Holiday begins. Now seeing as this is my first Christmastime as a full time employee, I was a little worried about how much time I would be able to have off compared to that of an OSU student. Well fortunately my boss is super cool and I’ll be taking both the last week of this year and the first week of next year off. What will I be doing that whole time you ask? Quite the journey.

It started about a month back when my dad told me that he would be going to CES with my uncle this year. For those of you that don’t know what CES is, is its pretty much nerd heaven for grown-ups. CES stands for Consumer Electronic Show and they pretty much have all the cool gadgets gizmos and tech toys that’ll be coming out in the near future. When I found out my dad was going I must say it was the first time in my life that I was 100% jealous of something my dad was getting to do. Short story short… my uncle caught wind of my interest in going and got me an invite. So for January 5th-7th I will be in Las Vegas NV at CES 2006. w00t!

That leads us to a few weeks ago when bowl announcements came out. Ohio State going to the Fiesta bowl (6 hours from LasVegas) and USC going to the Rose Bowl (4 hours from LasVegas). My mind started processing the possibility of me going to both these HUGE bowl games as well as getting to go to Las Vegas. My dad came through and was able to get tickets for the Fiesta Bowl but unfortunately tickets to the Rose bowl are like trying to get tickets to see the second coming so that doesn’t look like it’ll happen. But still, 2 badass things out of 3 is not bad. Getting to Arizona and back is a story for another post in the near future. Stay tuned.

Still no Xbox360 >:(

Yea, so no Xbox360 for me. Went to WalMart yesterday at lunch, just to see what the status was and all 14 spots for xboxs were taken. People were already waiting 12 hours in advance. Next door at BestBuy, people were waiting outside when the system wasn’t going to be available to them for another 30 hours. Bree and I checked out some Meijer’s around 8PM later that night thinking no one would check Meijer’s for a new game system. Wrong. People had been waiting there since 11 and 4 AM! One of the saddest things was that most the people waiting really should not be dropping $400 on a gaming system when they don’t have money to get their teeth fixed. Pretty much, at 8PM yesterday, if you didn’t have a pre-order or spot in line, you were not getting a new Xbox in Columbus, OH.

Anyway, hopefully I’ll be able to grab a system sometime in the next 2 weeks. Word on the street is it’s pretty badass.

… but not a Bengal. Well, I guess it still does. The bucks kicked some major M*ch*g*n ass this weekend in one hell of a classic game, but the Bengals didn’t have enough to get a win against the Colts. Oh well, you can’t have it all.

So tomorrow the Xbox 360 comes out and I am really really hoping I’ll be able to get one via WalMart, Meier’s or somewhere. I plan on camping at the Tuttle area after work to pick one up at midnight. *cross fingers*

btw… new pics are up.

Alright. I have discovered that down time at work gives me more time to post. So here we are.

First of all, today is my girlfriend Kate’s 21st Birthday. A bunch of us will be going out to eat tonight so everyone wish her a happy birthday.

Second, here is what is on the agenda for the site. I need to do some major improvments on the general layout and theme of the main page, but since the pictures section seems to draw the most attention/traffic, I think I’m going to work on that first. Basically I want to add a way for people to leave comments about individual pictures and also possibly rate pictures and then view top rated ones. I’m quite curious what pictures are the most popular and which ones people like the best. Webstats gives me some info as to that but I think a rating system would help. This may prove to be somewhat difficult as it requires me creating databases and such, but we’ll see.

Finally, the site may be up and down over the next few days as I am changing webhosting and my domain name will need to switch over. I’m not 100% sure on the process or stability of this move, so bear with me (or is it bare…. no that would be get naked with me, and we don’t need that).
