I am getting married this Saturday to my lovely lady of four years! Saturday will be our 4th year anniversary and we’ve decided to tie the knot

We’ll be having our ceremony at Ostertag Vistas in Myersville, MD and hosting the reception back here at our house. Food, alcohol, mechanical bull, and plain ol’ fun!

Can’t wait!!!

See y’all on the flip side.

It’s definitely been some time since I’ve updated my blog and quite frankly, I wasn’t too worried about it but I figured I’d share some pictures of our new puppy.

The girlfriend and I have been wanting to get another dog for our dog now to play with. Our dog now is a Husky mix and if you know anything about Huskies, they get bored quite easily so what better dog to get then another Husky.

We searched through all of the shelters within 50 miles or so and found a bunch, including a beautiful girl, Kita. My girlfriend fell in love with Kita but when we took our dog now down to the shelter to meet her, unfortunately things did not go so well. We found some more at the Washington Animal Rescue League but since their employees were very rude, ignorant and couldn’t directly answer any of our questions before driving an hour and a half there, I decided not to even visit their shelter. After some searching, we found a ‘breeder’ on Craigslist who just had a litter of Siberian Husky puppies. We spoke to them via email and finally phone calls and setup a time to meet. My girlfriend had no idea I was driving two and a half hours away through treacherous snow and ice covered highways just to get her a nice Christmas present but it was all very worth it once I sent her a pic of her brand new puppy sitting on my lap.

Enough talk, here are some pictures of our new Siberian Husky puppy “Koda” and his new big sister!

Yup, getting cold out here. 53 degrees outside right now. Really wished we had the fireplace fixed and working – could go for some coffee in front of a warm fire!

I’m lazy – haven’t updated. I know. Will soon.

I’ve been told I do nothing but complain so here is a nice review on an awesome application for Blackberry Phones that I recently found.

The application is called Trapster and it’s probably something I should have had a long time ago. Basically, this application for your Blackberry ultilizes your GPS functions on your phone and alerts you of all police radar traps, red light cameras and more. It’s completely ran by users and actually updated quite often. They also offer it for the iPhone, the Google Andriod, and even Garmins and TomTom’s! You can watch a video presentation on how this works here. The way their system is setup is awesome. They give credibility to users who report accurate speed traps and red light cameras. The credibility is given when more then one user reports a cop in that area and you build up your reputation over time.

So those of you who drive quite often or travel a lot, be sure to download this app to your PDA, SmartPhone or GPS today and save yourself from those hefty fines and increased insurance rates! The application is FREE, so you’ve got nothing to lose!

I’m sure some of you know about my site, BarCritic.com and how long I’ve had it. Well be on the lookout soon as I plan on getting this bad boy launched and you will be able to write your own reviews and look up some local bars in your area. I’ll be starting off first with bars in Maryland and slowly expanding as I surely don’t have the time or travel enough lately to write reviews on bars elsewhere.

If you have any suggestions, questions, comments or whatever else, feel free to post a comment and let me know!

Once I get the site up, running and some traffic being fed to it, I’ll be doing featured reviews and maybe even selling some ad spots – if you’re interested, contact me!

Yeah, I’m a #twitterholic and you love it.

Figured I’d update a few things here…

Comcast is now installed, but I HATE HATE HATE their digital cable menus up here + it’s slow as hell, so I’ll be looking into DirecTV very soon.

Bought a blackberry curve which I’m hating right now since it’s slow as molasses just like my ‘digital’ cable. Also dying very quickly and I haven’t even made any calls except one 2 minute one!

Still don’t have enough time in the day to get everything done…I immediately demand more hours in a day!

Happy Birthday Cari!!! Well, it was the fifth but I didn’t post it before.

Ok, it is now lunch time and back to work. Ciao! derp9t5h3g

So, I am finally into my new house and got some time to burn before I leave at 4:30am to head to the airport and I figured I’d throw up a new post! I’m heading down to Tampa, Florida for a biz trip and to meet up with the infamous Extreme John. Flight leaves at 7:30am and I’ve got an hour plus drive to BWI! Wooooo!
I haven’t done any work with completely owning the SE results for shitty Preserve @ Owings Crossing Apartments, but I’ve got some decent 2nd page listings already. Just wait guys, this is only the beginning! I will have you begging me to take it down..Believe it.

Onto a brighter note, the house is absolutely amazing and things have really come pretty far in a week besides shitty Comcast but I’ll save that for another post. Everything is in and setup for the most part – with the exception of my office that is still scattered until I find a new desk I like and cough up the money for it. I’m a picky SOB – I know. =) My neighbors have been great so far and the neighbor at the end of my driveway works in software development (I think that’s what he said) and his wife is an RN. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? (For those of you who don’t know me and if you care the least bit, I work online and Cari is halfway through school for her RN degree)

As far as the house goes, I’d like to thank a few people and sorry if I miss anyone. It’s late and I’m drinking. Every little bit helps and we both appreciate it very much!

By no means are these in any type of order. I’m writing them as I go…I don’t wanna hear it!

Cari – I love you girl…more than anything in this world!

Mom & Dave – First and foremost, thank you both very very much for the tools and EVERYTHING both of you have done for me in the last few years (mom, the last 22+!). Hopefully I can put them to good use around the house! Can’t wait to get ya back up here to help me garden. Hehehehe. Love ya both and wish you the best of luck on the new marriage!

Lenny - Superstitious much? LOL. Love ya bro..and btw, she LOVED the pizza. Brownie points!!!

My future mother-in-law – I’m only a phone call away like I said! Don’t hesitate! Thank you very much for everything you’ve done and for creating such a beautiful and intelligent (& sometimes pain in the butt) daughter!

Extreme John – Bro, you’ve changed my life – Flat out. Not only are you the best boss ANYONE could ever ask for, you’re a great friend and I could NEVER repay you for everything that you have done for me. Not only have you helped me out when I was down and out, you continued to help and still do. I said 2009 will be a good year and I mean it 150%!!!!!!! I could go own but I’ll leave it at that.

Lisa & Michele – You both rock! Thank you both for everything you’ve done for me too!

Michelle – Thanks for the HD gift card, definitely helps since that’s my new playground! Keep her under control for me! Hahahah

Patsy – You’re awesome! You’ve done so much for Cari and I since we’ve all met, I’ll find out somehow to repay ya rather you like it or not!    ..and thanks a ton for that delicious chili and the crock-pot!!!!

If I forgot ya, don’t feel bad. I still love ya! As Jamie Foxx said, blame it on the alcoholllllllllll….

To end it, here’s a picture of my view off the deck aka my remote office!

As you can tell, I hate The Preserve at Owings Crossing in Reisterstown, Maryland from my recent posts and I have to say, I am more then ecstatic for my settlement tomorrow!!!

Two years in this horrible apartment is more then enough time and I am ready to get to my HUGE house. Hey, may not be huge to you but for myself and Cari, a 3br/3ba and 4 floors + 2 decks is more then enough – not to mention the almost acre of land! I’ll have my OWN driveway and wont have to worry about being towed so the property can pinch every penny out of me.

I will update with some more pictures and all as we move in and get settled in. Things are nuts right now as I’m sitting on the floor with my laptop. Yeah, the couch me behind me – oh well.

Speaking of parking and this shitty apartment complex known as The Preserve @ Owings crossing, I just spoke to a neighbor who also got towed but they got their car out for FREE! Just another thing I can use to my advantage when I SUE YOU IDIOTS! And believe me, I haven’t forgot – just busy trying to get out of here and don’t have time to run to the courthouse!

Once again, I’d like to send a F*CK YOU out to the management and ignorant neighbors at The Preserve @ Owings crossing. I cannot wait to get out of this place and should never never moved here since day 1.

..and we’ll leave it at that.
