Oh man! I have waited for this day since Monday.
You could stick a fork at me because
I am sooo done like a medium well TBONE steak!!

As I was walking home,
I noticed my shoelace were untied.
(I don’t blame them, they wanted to start their weekend too.)

My poor shoes, they are getting so worn out like a hooker’s jaw.
I stopped to tie them, as this one notorious guy approached me.
Offering me if I would like buy a “Playstation 2” for a 100 bucks.

“No thanks, I got one.” -I said proudly.
“Laptop, brand Spankin’ new, Intel 1.1 Gig. Untracable.”
“Nope.”
“Digital Camera?”
“No thanks.”
“X-BOX?”
“I’ll take two!!” Can I get it on Monday?
“Can’t bro’. They’ll be gone by then.

I have never been so tempted to grab him with me and get $100 dollars from the money machine,
and get my XBOX tonight!

Oooohh I can only imagine the flawless 3D games,
the new action releases,
the amazing enjoyment I would get.
That would be very nice.

As he walks away, with frustration on both our faces,
I yelled and asked him one more thing.

“Hey bud!
You happen to sell some shoes?”

So I was at work right,
then I have been asked to talk to this guy on the phone.

He said he wanted to send his client to learn Windows 2000 Server in our school.
No problem.
Though the only concern we have is,
“How comfortable is this guy to start on WIN2K Server,
without taking it’s pre-requisites.”

Understandable enough right?
We don’t know how much this guy knows.

Anyways,
Here was our conversation, and to protect this person’s identity..
we shall call him “technically challenged ass-whoopin’ candidate” :

Instructor (me) : Good afternoon Sir, this is Tyrone, I work here as an instructor …

Technically challenged ass-whoopin’ candidate : So what do you want to know?

Instructor (me) : Ahhh , you said you wanted to have your client learn WIN2K Server here. How comfortable is he on WIN2K Pro or Network Technologies?

Technically challenged ass-whoopin’ candidate : Well I never went to school but I taught myself Windows 2000..It’s not that hard. Plus I will teach him some of the stuff about Active Directory and Global Policies ..you know.. those things.

Instructor (me) : Yes Sir, I understand. I learned some stuff too just by playing around with it.

Technically challenged ass-whoopin’ candidate : Well… No offense to your school or anything but.. The guys that we hire that graduated there does not know the simplest thing about networking.
I mean even the simplest connection to a shared network drive … they have no clue.. I had to go on the floor and fix it myself. We had to let them go right away. I know my client can do better than most of them.

Instructor (me) : (confused and pissed) Well I can’t talk about our graduates but I am sure they are not all like that.

At this point, I can hear Mr. Genius banging on his keyboard…with phones ringing.

Technically challenged ass-whoopin’ candidate : Oh I am just telling you our experience with your graduates….I know I can teach my client what I know…Just like now.. I am having trouble with this Windows 2000 server that I am working on..It is starting to piss me off.
I just created users…and I can’t seem to log in…It’s giving me this error ..You are not allowed to log on interactively on this computer.. Do you know how to fix it?

Instructor (me) : (confused and pissed with eyebrows crossed) Well I know there are two things you have to do with regards to Policies with Global and Domain Controller.

Technically challenged ass-whoopin’ candidate : (still banging on the keys) Where is that at? .. (grunts) I know I can fix this…I will fix this eventually..I am just getting pissed right now.

Instructor (me) : (confused and pissed with eyebrows crossed with middle finger pointing to the phone) Well what is your plan regarding your client?

Technically challenged ass-whoopin’ candidate : Oh yeah yeah.. Can I start him there ..say…next week?

Instructor (me) : Well Sir, You would need to talk again to our Admin’s Councilor about that. And here he is…

Technically challenged ass-whoopin’ candidate : #&*^*#&^#stupid machine&)(*^%*^%$$

Oh my Lord…I think the Earth is full. Please send this guy home.
I need to read and learn how to set the laser printer to stun
if ever I get to meet this guy.

And to set it straight..
I asked our ever loving employment specialist Mia,
if we really do have graduates who got hired at this guy’s company sometime in the past.

And the answer?

They have never heard of it. So this guy was a lying bastard.
Oh man..
I just want revenge..is that so wrong?
I know no school or company is perfect, but I will defend mine with all my might.
Did I ever tell you when I get angry, I get hungry?
Maybe when I get home I think I will order Pizza.

Pizza Hut : Pizza Hut Take Out, Can I help you?

Hungry Instructor (me) : Yes..Pizza Hut?…Your Pizza sucks and it tastes like crap that has been stepped on by a cow!
Can I place a delivery order?

CDI Students let me know what you think.

Is it me or the Grammy Awards is getting more boring every year?
(I could just hear it now, my smart-ass friends telling me
“Is it the Grammy’s getting boring, or is it you getting more boring?”)

Anyhow,
I just find it weird that lately, these award shows
are more into the effects and styles, clothes and fashions.
Not about the music anymore.
I went to bed right after that part where those chicks sang that “Moulin Rouge” song,
where I thought the best part was when Patti Labelle came up the stage
and belted out that high end scream.
I also like Pink.
I think she is very pretty.
Except for that punk-ass-afro-mohawk hair she wore.

Wait,
I take that back.
I also remember seeing Pamela Anderson (both of them).
Britney Spears with her Tammy Faye Baker hair.
And ..mmmmm…Oh yeah…now I remember…
I turned the TV off right when those N’Sync girls started singing.
Yesss..that’s right.

Oh well…
I just hope it will get better next year…and the years to come.
Because I think the last time I watched an entire Grammy special
was when Michael Jackson won for Thriller.
Plus did you know he used to be black?
I thought he was from Sweden.

Let me know what you think about the show.

Congratulations!!! to our Canadian athletes! A job very well done.

Gold 1 – Gold 2 – Gold 3 – Gold 4

It has been an interesting event.
Isn’t it funny how a sport totally depends on the judges’ or referees’ decision?
Yes! I am talking about the corrupt ones that judged the figure skaters
and the ones that officiated the hockey players.

I mean ‘cmon!..do these people think we, the spectators, are stupid?
Did they think that they can get away with it?

Anyhow…
Congratulations again to all the Athletes.
And a big thank you for making your countrymen proud.

PS —

Check out my friend Mike and Becky’s web site.
A couple in perfect harmony.

Not by choice but because my dog is howling at something.
Probably his own shadow.
I don’t know..he’s not that bright.

Anyways…
I went on the “World Wide Web”, and checked out some stuff that I can add here.

I went to this site that I usually visit.
Another techie guy with daily web logs (blogs in internet terms).
Great links, humour and pics.
(of women of course ..why would I go there in the first place?- just kiddin’)

On his daily blog today..
he got an email from this guy that warns him about the way he rants on his site.
This idiotic moron accuses him of slander
and that “freedom of speech” does not protect him from the slander laws.

HAhahahahhhahahahhahahahhhaaaaaaaaaaaa…..
Bwaahaahhahaaaaaaaaaa!!!…..

How many times do we have to flush before these kind of people go away??
Geeezzzuuuuzzzz!!!!!!

I too have been asked if I am afraid of what I might say in this little blog of mine.
I mean, what am I gonna be afraid of?

Some Internet stalker?
A Hacker?
A slacker?
A whacker??

….what?
Some big mouthed – gossip filled – person who knows me
..and tells my family and friends about my business?

..FUCK!!
They do that already!!!

I do not write anything that I do not want to share….
It’s my freakin’ right!

So..please….
if ever you are gonna accuse anybody of anything….
please..pleaseeeee…get all the facts first…
See the situation on different angles.
Show some intelligence.
Here’s a little thing to start you up. —

Canadian Charter of Rights

and that has been my whiny-crybaby opinion of the day – Thank you.

28 years old today.

Now that I am “older” (but refuse to grow up) here’s what I’ve discovered:

1.) I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.
2.) My wild oats have turned into prunes and All Bran.
3.) I finally got my head together, now my body is falling apart.
4.) Funny, I don’t remember being absent minded.
5.) Funny, I don’t remember being absent minded.
6.) What were we talking about?
7.) It’s easier to get older than it is to get wiser.
8.) Some days you’re the dog; some days you’re the hydrant.
9.) I wish the buck stopped here; I sure could use a few.
10.) Kids in the back seat cause accidents.
11.) Accidents in the back seat cause kids.
12.) It’s hard to make a comeback when you haven’t been anywhere.
13.) The only time the world beats a path to your door is when you’re in the bathroom.
14.) If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put them on my knees.
15.) When I’m finally holding all the cards, why does everyone else decide to play chess?
16.) Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize you weren’t sleeping.
17.) It’s not hard to meet expenses … they’re EVERYWHERE!
18.) The only difference between a rut and a grave is in the depth.
19.) These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter…
I go somewhere to get something and then wonder what I’m here after.
20.) If all is not lost, THEN WHERE IS IT?
21.) Did I tell you this already?

Anyways….
Thanks for all the greetings! From my family and my friends.
thanks to Will D. for this email
Check out the updated Medieval Tavern by Lord Francis.

Oh and a HAPPY VD to everyone!

Happy SuperBowl to my peeps in the U.S. of A.

Everybody is going crazy there I bet.
It’s 1 of the three most important events in the States.

1.) Superbowl
2.) 4th of July
3.) Thanksgiving

You know sometimes, I do wish I live in the states.
Not only that there is where the money is,
They always have a reason to party!!!!

Except for the fact that I could get killed anytime by a 12 year old kid with his 45 Caliber.

Anyways….
Hopefully, with all the Superbowl parties,
I wish everyone arrived home safely
and be ready for the post Superbowl party tomorrow night.

We saw two movies this weekend.

Harry Pothead, oops Potter,
(my friend Nerisse would kill me.) which is an excellent movie.
And the other one we saw was something about a boy and his ring.
Everybody is after this ring with funky writings on it.
And the boy keeps getting stabbed or something.

Anyway…
it was one of the most amazing movies I have ever seen.
I totally can’t wait for the continuation.

Another thing I would like to say though.
Just to keep the records straight.
I did not get my dog’s name from that Pottyhead movie..(sorry again Nerisse).
I did not know that Harry Potter’s broom’s name was Nimbus 2000.
My dog’s name is Nimbus, and I thought of it because he looked like a thick cloud.
It was a toss between Cumulus or Nimbus.

Though now..
he responds to his new name….

NIMBUS NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
(followed by a Filipino swear word.) ..which Tracy can fluently pronounce.

During our lunch break at work yesterday,
two good friends, Natalie and Jason, pointed out this story in the papers
of a guy who was in a foreign country, dived into a shallow pool,
broke his neck and spine, couldn’t come home because they can’t give him a bed in a hospital.

Also, Tracy told me a patient that she used to take care of.
Dived into a lake or something, too shallow, hit his head
broke his spine, paralyzed from the waist down.

Can you just imagine?

I couldn’t help it.
I had to share my story.

I too dived into a shallow pool back home in the Philippines.
In school back in ’91
Hit my head, at the bottom floor, straight down.
All I felt was I bounced, chipped my two front teeth,
bit my tongue and head painfully hurting.

I was conscious though. I knew what was happening around me.
I did not faint nor collapsed. I just got out of the pool, with a bit of blood in my mouth.
Went straight to the showers, checking my head if it cracked or something.
Nope.
My mother was right.
This proved what she said..
I have a very hard head.

I am still doin’ fine though.
After 11 years, all I have are these unbearable headaches that I have been accustomed to having.

All I wanted to say was,
I am so very grateful.
To God and his glory, that I am still alive to this day.

Still able to play guitar, play music, appreciate the harmony.
Still able to laugh, cry and feel.
Bitch about work and the traffic.
Complain about everything.
Spending time with my nieces.
My brother and I admiring cars. Checkin’ out the ladies.
Sleep in a bed.
Watch sports on TV.
Drive my car.
Walk everywhere.
(Screw that!) Drive everywhere.
Meet new people.
Play in the snow.
Buy more RAM.
Learn Linux.
Learn Windows XP.
Buy more RAM.
Surf Porn
Drink wine.
Eat my favorite foods.
Especially Tracy’s cooking.
Enjoy her company.
Laugh at her jokes.
Love her with all my heart.
And the opportunity to have kids of my own.

I say these because,
I always told myself I hate my life, and always tried to fix it.
I always said I never wanted to be born if I knew this was going to be a cruel world.
But now I realized, there has to be some purpose. Or a reason why I am still here….

and that reason, I think,
is to annoy everybody else. 😉

You know how sometimes you have issues with your families?
Oh yeah! You know what I mean.

You always end up fixing everybody’s troubles with everybody,
you can never live your life the way you want,
and you always have to live it how they want you to live.

Christmas, Birthdays, Holidays.
Always the same thing.
Something or someone will always piss you off. There is always one in the crowd.

But you know what is even worse?
People who tries to mind your families’ business.
Not only that, they mind your own freakin’ business too!!

They always tell you…
“Oh I just care and I treat you guys as family.”

Hahahahhahaha!!!
You are fuckin’ funny!!

I mean, even me and my brother don’t even get on each other’s business
And here you are, shovin’ your gossip-filled face on us?

I get pissed DAMMNNITT!!!!

You know, the more people I know,
the more I like my dog.

Come here Nimbus!!
Stop humping my leg!
