FOUR DAY VACATION

   I just had a four day weekend over this past 4th Of July. Normally I don't do much for the 4th Of July now a days. Since the 4th fell on a Thursday, I decided to take the 5th off for 2 reasons, first of all I found out that Weird Al Yankovic was going to be at the Alameda County Fair that day, and second of all I just wanted a long weekend. But Friday was not my only fun filled day.

   Well all the fun started before day one. After work on Wednesday I was sitting at home watching the A's game. I looked over at my wife and said," Man I want to go bowling." A few calls later and I was at Castro Valley Bowl in the bar waiting for my people to show up. Castro Valley Bowl on Wednesday nights has a deal, $10 to bowl from 9-12. So the rest of the night was filled with music, laughs, and bowling as I enjoyed the night with my wife Crystal and our family Angelo, Nicole, Brain, and Scott.

With only it's fourth episode of season 15, there has been a lot of controversy in the Big Brother House. Three of the house guest have been caught on video saying racist and/or homophobic things. All three house guest are white. Aaryn is a college student who is also a model from Texas, Gina Marie who is a pageant coordinator from Staten Island, and Spencer who is a railroad conductor from Arkansas.

   On the episode that aired on 7/7/13, CBS showed mostly Aaryn saying both racist and homophobic comments about other house guest behind there back. Also about other races in general. Gina Marie was shown saying racist comments while talking with Aaryn. They are both shown laughing about it like it was a everyday thing they did. As for Spencer, they did not show his homophobic comments towards the only gay house guest, Andy, on the episode. But people who watch the live feed heard what he said and have been posting it online.

DEAD ISLAND DREAMING!!

   The other night I had a interesting dream. I dream't that I was in the middle of the video game Dead Island. Luckily for me, I was one of the immune. I was myself and not another one of the characters. I fought to keep a bunch of survivors alive while we waited for help. Everyone that I was trying to save stayed inside a locked up building where they would be safe.

SHOULD A GUY OVER SPEND ON A DATE?

   Recently a friend showed me a post he saw on Facebook that a female had posted. She basically said that when a guy takes a girl out that he should not spend no less then $100 and have a full tank of gas in there car cause it's a privilege to take out a girl. Now this had my friend and I on the floor laughing when we first read this. Which then lead to us talking about why some women think this way and are feeling on it. Now we did just go off a little and said a lot of things in a funny but annoyed conversion. I just find it funny that someone would think this way.

NINTENDO THEMED SHASTA SODA

    In the late 80's and early 90's in the mist of the the NES's success, Nintendo did a lot of different things to promote and advertise there video games and characters. One of the ways the did that is by teaming up with the soda making company called Shasta. They came up with four different flavors in 8 oz cans that featured four different characters from the Mario Brothers universe. You could also have a chance to win Nintendo prizes from the cans.They were out for a limited time, but very much missed by fans that grew up with the original Nintendo.
