PHOTOS: W.G.'s Bday
This past weekend we went out to eat for WG's bday. The District Chophouse in DC...I recommend the Chophouse burger if you like burgers or the Sirloin if you like steaks...
Black Enterprise GUIDE TO INVESTING
I HIGHLY recommend this book. I bought it a few months ago and I am just now getting around to reading it. Thus far, it's been very interesting and educational. It's definitely worth the money. If you've got the money and the time to read it, please go out and buy it.

My favorite NFL Player: CLINTON PORTIS
Sorry LaDanian, you've been replaced (perhaps until the season's end). How can this guy not be your favorite???
1. He has his own website. Whether you think it's vain or not is up to you.
2. He's a great NFL running back. He rushed for 1500+ his first two years in the league and he rushed for 1000+ his third and another 1500+ this year for my SKINS.
3. His mom punches out fans In Philly for that matter, where an Eagles fan might get killed for not yelling loud enough for the Eagles.
4. He comes up with wonderful characters every week for his press conference that seems to boost the morale for the entire team, make me laugh my a$$ off, and entertain the hell out of bloggers and sports commentators alike. Those press conferences alone make me wish the Skins advance another week. Check out his latest...

Public Service Announcement: Google knows where you live
This is just a warning to everyone that if you google your home phone number, you might be surprised what you find. I googled mine and it came up with my name and current address.
Not sure if anyone really cares about this, but just know that it's possible.

Dave Chappelle Soundbard
Quite possibly the most dangerous thing on the Internet:

Rose Bowl
Is it just me or is Vince Young a DAMN BEAST!
WOW! I was impressed. While I was rooting for USC because I love Reggie Bush (and now love Lendale White). But I kept telling a co-worker of mine yesterday I'd be willing to bet on the 'Horns. But me, not being a real betting man, didn't seek out a taker. Oh well, opportunity lost I guess.
But the last two bowl games of this season have been GREAT! First my Seminoles lose and then USC loses. But they were both great games and really enjoyable to watch. I am glad I got a chance to see them both.
Question(s):
1. Why do college players like Reggie Bush and Vince Young make even other "good" college players look like characters in a video game? I mean, it was pretty pathetic how Vince "I am running in slow motion" Young was making the USC defenders look. At least Reggie Bush looks like he's running fast as hell
2. Why did the announcer at the game's end call Matt Leinart "Vince"?
3. Do you think Mr. Bush will come back another year to end his career on a national championship team? I mean, it's basically a choice between southern cal; bangin' girls, gaining another 1000 yards, and living it up VS playing for the Texans or 49ers making millions. If he goes pro, I guess we'll see if money can buy happiness.

BLOGLINES.COM
WWW.BLOGLINES.COM is a GREAT GREAT thing people! You should check it out.
Synopsis: This a website that allows you to choose blogs that you like and "subscribe" to them. Basically a subscription means that when you log into your bloglines account, you'll be able to see if that person's blog has made any additional entries. If so, their "subscription" will have a link to the new entries. For people like me who read blogs daily, this helps you a lot because you can go to a single website that knows all the blogs/websites (I'll get to websites in a second) you like to read and aggregates all the content into one place. It's BEAUTIFUL!!!
Okay, so not only can you subscribe to blogs, but you can subscribe to websites as well. If you see a website that has "RSS feeds" or has this image
...You can subscribe to this website via bloglines.com and every time new content is posted to that website, you'll get notified in your bloglines account. Again, I can't speak enough on how much this helps you out when it comes to surfing your usual websites for content.
There are other things you can do in bloglines.com as well, but I use it primarily to organize the blogs/websites I read daily. It's not that hard to set up and if you visit a lot of blogs/websites on a regular basis, it may help you out a lot. Check it out when you have some time.
NOTE: Not all websites will have RSS feeds or XML content. You will not be able to subscribe to these sites via bloglines.

Change of Face
In case you haven't noticed, the look of my blog has changed. Just the look though, not the content (I know you people love the corny random crap I talk about). Anyway, there's a story behind this...
Most of you know I'm a web developer by day and a malnourished stripper-in-training by night (laugh, please! Cuz that's sooooo funny. It's a J/K people). So during my day I do normal work and I *sometimes* visit other people's blogs, check my yahoo mail and gmail. And OCCASSIONALLY, I post a new entry on my blog.
However, at my job we just had a new firewall put in at the job. However, there have been some issues with the firewall so it's really screwed up the Internet connection for people in the office. By the way, my next blog entry will be my resume since I'll probably get fired for this entry. Anyway, I was trying to update my blog a week or so ago at the job and when I saved the changes, because of the firewall glitches, only half of my blog got saved. So it erased all my album reviews, links to my friends blogs, and other random stuff that was on the right-hand sidebar (I'm crying RIGHT NOW).
So I had to pick a brand new template and start my blog design all over again (the crowd sighs for me...Yes, they sure do). So that's why the blog now looks much brighter with the white, grey, orange, and blue. Of course I am going to customize everything to my liking over the next couple of weeks so hopefully you guys will like it.
HOLLA BLACK!
