So now that its been sufficiently long since my last real update, i shall add an entry:
I just had ten days in a row off from work. hell yeah! Life is sweet.
On top of that, online poker during that time off netted me just as much as i make working for a week.
On top of that, I took a sweet trip to Denver for the second half of the week.
The trip was pretty cool. It was quite nice really, though i could've have gone without the 6 hour delay in atlanta on the way back yesterday. But, considering we were flying in the exact same type delta-comair commuter jet that crashed 24 hours earlier, i'm not really complaining!
Colorado is quite a place.. A nice long weekend in a nice hotel, in a nice city, with my extremely nice girlfriend was just what i needed to cap my summer.
We saw the sites of denver and surrounding areas too; including the Coors Brewery which was nice enough to give free tours and 3 free beers (shut up any beer snobs reading this, cause it tastes fine to me and i really don't give a f*%@, plus they make Blue Moon anyway), Red Rocks park and ampitheater (which has to be the coolest place anywhere to see a concert), and a few other random sites in the area.
One place i had a lot of hopes for was the National Renewable Energy Lab, but it turned out to be pretty pathetic. I was hoping to see lots of exhibits and displays showing the tremendous possibilities for alternative energy sources, but instead it was pretty much a 7th grade science fair exhibit. "this is a solar panel. The sun can power things. Ooh la la." The pinnacle of the display was a 2001 Honda Insight hybrid car. Wow. State-of-the-art!!
It was definitely operating on a George Bush-renewable energy budget.
No wonder we are stuck on oil and coal for the near future.
I'm sure i must have done some other semi-interesting things during the trip, but i'm rapidly losing interest in this update.
I will, however, leave you with this hilarious story:
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran Challenges George Bush to a Debate Does anyone else think this is funny?
Of course Bush would never agree to this, but not cause of Iran being an "evil-doer" or whatever some people think. The main reason is that this dude would mop the floor with Bush, and i'm pretty sure everyone knows that.
What a sad state of the union.
