Spring Break...What to do?

Well, today was my first official day on Spring/Easter Break. And I did nothing. Yeah, basically nothing at all. I did go to the store, which I guess is something.

I have no real plans for the break, so I have no idea of what to do. I was playing a lot of online poker last night. I was up after I won a Sit N Go but I played a pointless tournament and now am only up a few bucks. Besides the poker, I'm just chillin on the new laptop doing random stuff. Looked online at job openings in Buffalo. - Basically nothing. I did setup a twitter account for Mondo Invasion. I'll post the link at the end of the blog.

I am hoping tomorrow will be much more exciting and productive. But as of right now, I have no plans. And none will probably come up. So, I probably won't do much. I'll most likely get a call about the casino. I going to try to turn it down. Lol.

I do have some basic goals for the break:
- Get all of my school work done. And don't wait till the last day
- Do well on this online test later this week. (Should start studying now)
- If the weather becomes nicer, play some more basketball. I played for the first time since last summer. To say the least, my jumper was "off".
- Play some more online poker. I've already started this but if I play more sit n go's on Sportsbook, I could really increase my bankroll.
- Have a good time and enjoy the break. Relax...

Bad News - I JUST read that Marshawn Lynch will be suspended the first three games of the season. I guess that is better than the first four games. Freddy Jackson will have to step up. The Bills also need to step up and pay Fred Jackson.

I think I'll end it here. Here is the link for the Mondo Invasion's Twitter Account. Also straight twitter updates right on mondoinvasion.com.

New Laptop and More

Well, I decided on buying a laptop for myself on Saturday. I purchased it from Best Buy for $449 plus tax. It still ringed in under $500. It is a HP, so I thought it was a great deal. It comes with a webcam and a mic installed plus an HDMI port. So, I went out on a limb and got it.

Since, I got this new computer, I will be able to keep up with my blog a lot more. Some that means more posts for all you! I know all of you are jumping for joy. Also, I can now play more online poker. I'm already playing more three days in. I am about to switch the website I am playing at though. Going to Full Tilt.

-Yesterday was a pretty exciting day because WrestleMania 25 took place. It is still such a huge event. It was a bit disappointing besides the match between Undertaker and Shawn Michaels. Those two can still put on a hell of a match. Hardy vs Hardy was also pretty good. The main event between Orton and HHH was very disappointing however.

- Today is Opening Day for the Florida Marlins. If you couldn't guess, that is my favorite baseball team. They are playnig the Nationals right now and are up 12-5 as I type in the top of the 7th.

- This past Friday I also ordered an authentic Terrell Owens jersey. I got the away jersey because I already have a couple home jerseys and an authentic Whitner throwback jersey.

- Tomorrow is my last day of school before I hit Spring Break. Just two more classes. I am pretty psyched. It should be a productive Spring Break (yeah right..) Don't really have any exact plans for the break. May hit the casino a few times, play a lot of poker, and just relax. Also, the job hunting begins for the summer....or sooner.

I know I said the next blog would be more "philosophical" but I don't even know what to right about right now. Ideas come and go inside my head. Anyone with any suggestions - just leave a comment.

Sunday?

I'm not sure if I have ever posted on a Sunday, so this may a first. It was a pretty productive day...at least for a Sunday.

I took my second online test of the weekend. I will not mention the grade because frankly, it wasn't good. However, I have some disputes with a few questions. But that professor still hasn't replied back to me after numerous screw-ups on the exam #2.

I have been doing laundry most of the day and I'm still doing it now. Plus, I cleaned up my whole room and even went the extra step to make sure I got every inch of dust in the room. Now, I'm just sitting back and enjoying the rest. I decided I might as well post a blog while I have nothing to do.

Other happenings since last blog:
- I did great on my Marketing test. Got a 93. I think I did good on my Statistics test also. I will find out for sure tomorrow.

-Saturday, I received my Spring Semester return check. It was $640. Not Bad. Plus, I have won the weekly poker tournament at my poker game the last two weeks. Oddly enough, I've lost in the cash game both weeks. I usually kill in the cash game.

- Since I got the check, I am thinking about purchasing a laptop. I have about $1100 or $1300 if you include my online poker bankroll. So, I am debating if I should buy that or should I keep the money to invest in the future plans of Mondo Invasion? I found a good deal on an HP for $450. We'll see...

- The Edmonton Oilers lost again tonight. They are totally about to blow their chance at a playoff spot. Seems like it happens every year.

- 1/4 on Final Four Teams. That is my worst bracket of all time. I'm rooting for Michigan St. I hate the other three teams.

Okay, I am out of here. Talk to everyone very soon. It's almost time for some thought provoking things. Maybe a good philosophical blog next time. Lol...

Busy Week

What's going on everybody? Hope everyone is doing well. I'm good as usual. The only bad thing I got going for me right now is the amount of tests I have coming up. This is what my schedule is looking like right now:

Thursday
- Quiz in History of Pop Music
- Test in Marketing II

Friday
- Test in Statistics
- Test in Principles of Management

Tuesday
- By-Laws of a corporation due in Business Law II

Wednesday
- Biology Test (luckily it was pushed back from Monday)

It will be good to get through all of this so I can hit that Spring Break on April 8th. Hopefully I won't be assigned anything to do over the break. I go back on the 20th.

Anyways...

-How bout them Bills? Opening up Monday Night Football against the Pats. It will be the perfect time for us to finally beat the Patriots! Good thing we have T.O. to get us some primetime games. I can't wait for the game already.

-Don't know if anyone has heard about this before but here it is:
http://www.popularmechanics.com/blogs/home_journal_news/4309587.html - Billy Mays challenged Vince from Shamwow to a "pitch-off" after he stole his product. Popular Mechanics takes a look at the two items and some background on the feud. I find this stuff hilarious.

Alright, talk to everyone later.

I'm back!

I've been gone for a long time! So, now I am back...for now. Haha. I hope all has been well for my readers (very few). Things are same as usual for me. Still going to school daily and not working. I guess I should tell you guys what;s going on with me now....

Notes:
- I just applied to Buffalo State and UB yesterday. I am pretty sure I am going to Buff St. but I applied to both just in case I change my mind. I applied for Business Administration at both. The only reason I may go to UB is for the Finance program. At Buff St., I would be doing Management.

- I got a 93 on my Business Law II midterm. Pretty stoked about that. Toughest class I have. All my classes in general are going pretty good.

- March Madness has started and my bracket is already taking hits. Florida St. was upset in the 1st round and I had them in the elite eight! Wake also lost which was a Sweet 16 team for me. I have Louisville beating Duke in the Final.

- Just downloaded a bunch of newer CD's including Chris Cornell's solo album ("Scream") produced by Timbaland...yes Timbaland. It has gotten terrible reviews but I'm digging it so far. It's different so I like it. Also, I got the new Hurt album, "Goodbye to the Machine". Also pretty good.

- No updates on Mondo Invasion. You should start seeing some new things when summer hits.

Well, that's it for today. I am going to try to write as much as I can. I enjoy doing it but got off course there for a while. I may write tomorrow because I have some homework to do on the computer.

Downtown Buffalo

Sorry, I haven't posted in a while. I forgot about an online test I had last week and didn't have much time to post. I need to get these blogs going again! I guess I will finally talk about the City of Buffalo finally.

Everyone knows that I love the city of Buffalo. It is also well known that the city has been struggling for years. I feel it is slowly, but surely getting better. We may not see it in full right now, but I definitely see the signs when I travel through Downtown Buffalo daily on my way to school.

Here is what is going on down there. The company Avant has remodeled an older building to provide a whole new aspect to downtown Buffalo. In this building will be a hotel, offices, and even luxurious condos. Some of these condos cost over $1 million and some have already been reserved. Buildings like this can only mean good things. Near the Avant building is the new Federal Building It is not fully finished yet, but it is looking nice.

AVANT Buffalo

The Senecas also have a new life with their casino plans. Recently, a judge ruled in their favor, so they will be able to resume construction when they feel necessary. They had to stop construction because they were low on cash. Whether you like the idea of casinos or not, this is progress.

The old Memorial Auditorium is also in the process of being knocked down to provide room to buidl Bass Pro...finally. Hopefully this all works out. Also, I read plans to re-open Main Street to cars downtown. They will make the train liek a trolley system where cars will be able to drive alongside the train.

Besides all of these rumblings, I see good things downtown. I see work being done on many different buildings. It is a good site to see. They days of manufacturing and steel plants here are over. It is time for Buffalo to move on into the future. We already have one of the biggest telemarketing industries in the country. From my point of view, things can only get better from here.

I hope to talk more about Buffalo soon. It seems we make some crappy list on Forbes.com every year talking about how bad our city is. Well, it gives us a very bad name. Buffalo has plenty to offer if you look past the sometimes depressing weather.

Here is a little youtube video for Buffalo, NY!!!

Yeah...

I figured I should probably write a new blog right about now. I haven't written in a while. I got to get back to writing almost every day. I was enjoying my six day weekend so I never got around to writing.

News & Notes

- I received an 86 on my Biology Test and an 83 on my Management Online Test. I am okay with both. I did the online test without owning a book so I'm happy.

- I am going some things with a fellow Mondo Invasion member about the future. And we are coming up with some good stuff. Probably not music wise, but we definitely have some BIG plans. Can't reveal any details yet. I know it probably sounds like a broken record but The Invasion is Coming...

- Watched Bill Maher's movie, "Religulous". It was pretty funny. Offered a crazy view on religion and what it is "really" about. I would recommend it to everyone.

I think I will blog about Downtown Buffalo tomorrow finally. I said I'd do it a little while ago but never did. I actually forgot I wrote that. Of course, no promises on the blog actually showing up. Lol.

Since I collect the fortunes that come out of fortune cookies, I am going to post one of the fortunes at the end of every blog for now on...or until I get sick of it.

Fortune for today:
Without ambition, there is no success.

Six Day Weekend

Actually, it would be a four day weekend, but I decided not to show up to school the past two days! Haha. I have off Monday and Tuesday for Presidents Day so I'm pretty psyched. The only thing that sucks is that I have almost nothing planned for the weekend. Going to be pretty dead.

News and Notes:
- Thoughts and Prayers go out to all affected by the plane crash here in Buffalo.
I can't believe something could happen right here in this area. An event like that is something you can't wrap your mind around. Puts everything in perspective. I hope all the families can move on from this tragedy.

- I got a 95 on my Statistics test. Not too bad...

- Wrestling PPV "No Way Out" is on Sunday.

- Limp Bizkit is Officially Back
LimpBizkit.com is up and running again with all of their old videos and music. They announced a worldwide tour and an album in the making. All five members will complete a full album together for the first time since 2000. I'm am definitely pumped for this one.

- What's Up with Joaquin Phoenix? Anybody see him on Letterman the other day? Man is crazy.

- The Stimulus Package is about passed.
I am okay with the package as a whole. We obviously need to do something because doing nothing isn't working. I hope that this thing works or we are in a world of hurt. My hopes are high for sure. I'm sure Republicans are hoping it backfires. Lol.


So, I hope everyone enjoys their weekend. I may actually post a blog tomorrow since I am not playing poker tomorrow. We will see. I think I am going to play some online poker now though. Haven't played in a while and I am pretty bored right about now. I am going to leave you guys with a classic Bizkit track. Whether you like it or not! Talk to everyone soon.

I'm Chillin...

What's Up everyone? I am feeling good right now. You ever get that feeling where you just feel good? There doesn't have to be a reason. I'm still going to school on the daily and doing the same things, but I feel great.

With the economy in turmoil, everybody losing their job, and everything else going wrong, I still am staying positive. It is hard to get me down on life. No matter what it hands me, I keep my cool. I just enjoy living life everyday. Sometimes, I just think about everything around me and realize that life is....awesome.

Don't ask me what I just wrote about. Lol. I was just writing what was going through my head at the time. Nothing new in my life or anything special going on. I am just feeling good.

On normal notes:
- I aced my Statistics test today. I'm sure of it.
- What's up with Chris Brown? Why would you ever hit Rihanna?
- It is supposed to 50 degrees tomorrow! 58 on Wednesday! Of course there is also rain in the forecast.
- A-Rod is a fraud. Then again, I couldn't care less about steroids in Baseball. Who cares?
- I am ready for Bills Season...

Talk to everyone soon - probably tomorrow. I think I may talk about my thoughts on Downtown Buffalo. My hopes are high as usual.
