Pet peeve, if you work for a company, do not assume you know what i'm going to say. (oh and the words "we're all set" repeated over and over. Are you even listening?)

No, I don't work for a CC company, no I don't want to lower your payments, and I most certainly do not want to offer your rude ass a trip to the Bahamas. I can't guarentee millions of dollars, and we're not saying you will make money. Your business plan could just suck, and no one is nice enough to tell you.

A little background... Our company creates custom software, designs and develops custom websites. We provide scalable inventory, CIP, moble ap's, and plug-ins among other applications.

The next time you want to be quick to use the words "we're all set", stop, listen to what i'm saying and don't be a jackass about it. You're a new company. You are not making millions. Chances are, you do not have a management system that will run an operation or two this efficient. We can start by designing, building, and maintaining a site for you and go from there. Baby steps. As an owner of a new venture, or first time owner... take all of the free information you can, THEN filter your options.

Salon owners. Don't get me started.

You're a new company, looking for you big break.. rudely turning down companies you know nothing about. That's an excellent way to get your company reputation out there. I'll be there when you make the mistake of paying someones annual salary instead, doing the same amount of work. The bonus for you, is that our company already expects this, so don't worry about apologizing should you come to your senses.

Sorry about the quality of the pictures, my cell shots are bunk, and you don't want to see the mushy pics my girlfriend took on her digital. Anyways - The room. Too bad I didn't have a panoramic view of the whole suite

The free arcade. Yes, free good old school arcade in the lobby. They also had some type of chinese marbel games all along the back wall, pinball machines, and another 8 or so arcades. Hang-on rocked my world, and ended up beating the high score. ASS 4 LYFE! haha

I do not condone the use of alcohol. This is actually a 6$ IBC rootbeer.. muhahaha. The Minnesota Twins ended up rallying in the 7th for a come behind win 4-3 over the Cleveland Indians. Sadly this was taken after 2 days of rollercoasters. If i can find one or two i'll post them later, with my sweet sweet burns intact.

On the way back, it was hot so we stopped in St. Cloud, MN for some ice cream. It never fails though as onion rings are a must. This was just too weird though... Do you think they planned it?

And lastly, we stopped in my county (naturally) so we could stretch, and do bathroom breaks. I really should have taken a picture of the town we were in, I don't even know the name of it.. but when you have a sign outside of a grocery store that's only open for 3 weeks a year during the 4th of July, and it says "Gold Beer Inside" (i think i kinda read "cold" but the bottom loop was heavy) you wonder what's going on in that town. Oh and a guy on a bicycle came up to me and asked if I knew where a fountain was. I said sorry, i'm not from here.. so he proceded to a well where he pumped water for a drink. Ahhh the simple life.

In conclusion to the 3 people who are reading this, it ended up being everything and more. Hope you all had an awesome 4th.! now back to uh.. what was it? oh yea.. TROPHIES hahahahah.

So i'm bored at work, and was thinking about the trip to Valley Fair on Friday. Man it's going to be hot, and i'm white as a mofo. I really hope I don't come back after this weekend with blisters and burns

Then again, it will be totally worth it Muuahahahah.

Yep, that's right.

You know who you are. And pretty much kick butt.

Have an awesome weekend, I look forward to kicking your's on PS3 sometime down the road.

So as I wait like the rest of you for the next 5 days, I keep buying things... It's an anticipation addiction really, and the crazy part is, that none of it will matter, once GTA is in my hands.

Ok so on 4/20 I purchased a DS3, which i'm still wating on and will hopefully get tomorrow. Since then, I went to a couple of game stores and picked stuff up, as well as ordered stuff on the net. First game - Wipeout XL to PSX. HD looks awesome coming out soon, and rather taking a chance and not knowing if i'd like this type of racer, I decided to go the nostalgic route, and try this out first. I am impressed, the soundtrack etc etc everything listed on the gamespot review I agree with wholeheartedly, so far. Second, NHL HITZ 2002 XBOX. It just brought back some memories of when my buddy got his PS2 and I played that game for 48 hours straight. I was wired, hooked, and ready for bed. It still rocks to this day, and definately worthy of multiplayer action. Third, Today I picked up the following games DOA 2 Ultimate for XBOX, and Blaster Master "Blasting Again" for PSX. First, I'd never gotten into the DOA series, and decided to give it a try. The graphics are pretty nice, and everything bounces the way it should. I haven't gotten too deep into the series yet, but it seemed kind of shallow in terms of Story mode, (which i know this isn't known for) so hopefully getting buddies together will change my outlook. Then Blaster Master, nostalgia heaven going back to one of my favorite NES games. It's not shabby, but it's not great either. I guess I can't ask for a whole lot, but they have the vehicle, it jumps, and you can get in and out.. that's all I care about. The rest is TBD. Ok so on to online purchases today. First, I came across the ATI 1650 Pro AGP card. There is a deal right now, and I've been looking for an AGP card in the 50$ range for awhile, sad thing is, since they're outdated and everyone is getting PCI express cards, they never come down in price. So heres to hoping I don't get the dreaded stories with this card and that everything works without a hitch. *fingers crossed* I'll keep you posted. And lastly, I purchased the Thrustmaster Ferrari GT 5 in 1 Racing Wheel. I was looking for a wheel for awhile, and when my GF was trying to play DiRT, and GT4 etc etc.. I noticed she had a tough time with the controller. So this means no excuses, and hopefully will get her into racing games a bit more.

Like I said, I have a compulsive disorder, and all of these recent purchased were on a whim, saved me a ton of money, but really in the end will probably get no use (with the exception of the DS3 naturally) once GTA comes out. DAMN YOU GTA, DAMN YOU.

DS3 is in the mail. Final price of 34.99 with -10 new account activation at buy.com. It'll come just in time for GTA IV. It just wouldn't be the same without the orgasmic rumble.
