Baseball and Hot Dogs
So back in July I went to a twins game with Jessi. We had a great time, the weather was fair, the twins won their game and we got to sample some traditional baseball themed foods. I have three foods I really gravitate towards; the pretzel, nachos, and Domedogs.
Pretzels at sporting events for some reason are covered with more salt than one should ever eat. I scrapped off all the excess salt and found that there was about two teaspoons on it.
Nachos are also good, as you can see by the joyful looking Jessi's eyes. The best part of getting nachos is also getting the bonus prize, jalapeños. Nothing quite tastes like cheap cheese sauce on a corn chip with a spicy jalapeño on top. Mmmm... Tasty.
The pinnacle of the culinary experience is a properly prepared Domedog. These ¼ pound pork/beef on a white bread bun should not be eaten unless prepared correctly. First apply even amounts of ketchup and Mustard to opposite side of the Domedog. Then add relish to the ketchup side and onions to the mustard side. Now while doing this try not to add too much or else your toppings will fall off and you will look like a glutinous slob.
The game was fun and I look forward to trying it again next year.

Meeting Blog
I figured I would throw this up during a meeting. So here is the meeting video put up during a meeting.
My meeting wasn't like these. But if it where, I would go to more meetings.

Imagination be Damed
I and my lovely soon to be wife have made the vast and all too common plunge into debt by purchasing a home. Some would say it isn't really debt but rather an investment. It may be that why when we decide to sell it, but until then it feels like debt. (More about the house and photos will follow at a later date and time.) The house itself is located in the city and since I have an overactive imagination I have been noticing how similar my house is to that of murder victims on crime shows. Years upon years of living in the suburbs will do that to you. Every crime show on TV is showing the most vicious and vile crimes happening in the city too try and shock viewers into sticking around for commercials.
Years of watching that really helps you see dark figures wielding sharpened spoons hiding around corners waiting to slice you open and feast on your spleen while masturbating over your dying corpse. Then they rape your dead body, twice. But lucky there is a handsome young detective there to console your grieving wife who finds the one piece of evidence everyone has over looked leading to a high speed chase down a freeway ending in a full on, no reservations gun battle in an abandoned warehouse. Resulting in the bloody death of they bad guy at the hands of the handsome detective and the happy ever after life for the widow.
Sometimes at night when I look at either one of my neighbor’s houses I start to picture a dark basement full of people they have been drugged and shackled to the wall waiting to be tortured. At night skin is cut off their bodies in little pieces while the toururer draws whiskers on their face with blood and then starts sewing the skin into a suit to fit their cat. That way it isn't weird that they want to have a romantic relationship with they cat, because it is in a human suit, making it look like a little person... with four legs... that purrs...not weird.
Every time I walk into my garage at night I expect to find an underground cock fight ring surrounded by a vicious mob of the most disreputable types of people screaming incoherent curses at the poultry gladiators while drinking some chilled malt beverages. Then I get stabbed in the face because I didn't know the password. As I lye there bleeding profusely from my face the fleeing mob of immoral cock wranglers trample me beneath their feet as the try to avoid the police that have arrived on scene to arrest these perpetrators. The organizer pulls me up as a human shield while he wildly fires and full automated weapon and the police. Once the ensuing fire fight has finished I am arrested for underground illegal cock fighting and get the death penalty.
Most of my imaginary scenarios involve things of that nature. I feel they may be more disturbing than most peoples. I only really saw these imaginary moments of time at night while walking through the darkness to throw that trash out when I first moved to the house. Now I really don’t see them anymore mainly because after I imagine them and they don’t happen to me that means I’ve already seen it and it’s pretty unbelievable to think about. Maybe next season I’ll see something better.

Video Games
There are a few Video games coming out here that I am really looking forward to playing.
Eternal Sonata - Set in a world Fredric Chopin dreamed and then wrote about hours before he died. First off that strikes me as one of the most unique world settings to be used for a game. I’m egger to see what the environments will be like and what roles music will play in the game. Being a big fan of RPG type games it would be hard to want to play one on the 360.
Halo 3 – It’s time to finish the Damn fight. I have spent too many hours of my life playing this series. I’ve played both 1 and 2 multiple times through alone and with Jessalyn. In college I spend weeks in multiplayer death matches with friends. I even own the novels based on the games. The game play is intense and fun. The story with the games has enough substance to keep me interested. I would compare their story telling style to the C&C games. You play through the levels just to see what happens next. I really want to see how it ends and also start playing some multiplayer death matches against friends.
Mass Effect – The only thing better than a Fantasy RPG is a Sci-Fi RPG in my opinion. Bioware is about to release a new one and I hope it is as good if not better than last two. I’ve been following this game for about a year now. Each new video of game footage that is released impresses me even more. Nothing beats sitting back and watching aliens and robots getting blasted apart with high energy weapons.
Bio Shock – I came a little late to this party. When I read a little about it seemed to be a new American McGee knock off. A dark world, strange terrifying creatures, little girls with even stranger powers and the always pleasant sounds of smooth jazzy tunes from the 1930’s playing in the background. Then I saw some in game footage and Wow. This game looks like nonstop thrill ride to awesome land, my initial feelings where wrong about his game and now I must atone by purchasing it.

Why would you play in Sea Foam
Over the weekend it seems the Australian coast was turned in to a foam clubbers dream vacation destination. Vast lengths of beach where covered by sea foam. It was made as a result of storms off the coast kicking up large amounts of surf (or a Tide tanker ran a ground some where nearby) Personally, If I have a choice between playing around with sea foam or man made foam I would go for a bike ride. Which begs the question why would you want to wallow in sea foam? Maybe you want to smell like dead fish. Maybe you enjoy the feel of fishy salty foam on your skin. For what every your reason for frolicking though it, I don’t get it. If however you are trying to escape it, I sympathize.
You can tell one of these girls know the peril they're currently in.
"Run Boy, Run!"
"We were to late. The foam has taken two more."
"Won't someone think of the children!"

Corporations are the new High School
Today I lost access to a few of my favorite websites from my work computer. Before you begin inquiring as to how mach porn websites I was going too, I will tell you now. None, no porn, zero, zilch, nada, my viewing experience was whole hearted in nature and execution. With that being said I have been denied access to the enjoyable review and commentary sites of IGN, Gamespy, 1UP and - the ever important cornerstone of the internet - Youtube. Additional the - jewel encrusted grand crowned emperor of my internet buffet - Penny Arcade has been banished from the electronic realms of my work. I am sure there are those that have resisted this movement and even now are once again finding alternate routes back to their sites of choice.
Regardless of the actions of others, my co-worker commented that "thankfully" Youtube is now blocked here and at every other high school in America. Then as quickly as Zeus dropping a buck with a lightning bolt from 200 yards it occurred to me, Corporations are very much like high school. When you look at them at first you would think they don’t have very much in common. But if you ponder the social rules, situations and enviroments that are present in each you can find similarities between them.
Both have large masses of people coming to a common building. Both have mind numbing tasks that seem to have no real purpose until you complete project and realize you where but one piece of a vast array trying to work harmoniously toward the same end goal. Within both there exists clicks, groups, clubs, teams that work together, fall apart, pursue common goals together and back stab each other for personal gain. In my opinion if you name just about any cliché plot device or problem from any high school movie short of something about prom and you’ll find within the Corporate World. (Although the thought of a corporate prom is funny, coworkers building up courage to ask each other to the prom, a band playing “Wonderful Tonight” to couples slowly dancing while making out. The fear that each others braces will lock together.) People within both are trying their hardest to be accepted and liked by others around them in order to better gauge the successes in their life.
Perhaps it is not that Corporations are like high school but rather the rules of society are created in high school and then refined through the rest of your life. In that way we can see the similarities between the two but also acknowledge the vast differences in the motivations behind our actions.
