Inauguration of Barak Obama

I leave Sunday for Washington, DC. I plan to make a peaceful pilgrimage to see the first African American sworn in as President of the United States. I say peaceful because I plan to let this be an easy trip with little to no amount of stress planned.

In 1995 I was in DC for the million man march and who would have thought fourteen years later I head back down to DC to witness Barack Hussein Obama become president.

Here's the plan:

Sunday
Arrive in the early evening see Mom
Eat hang out w/ friends

Monday
Take pictures of the Capital, Mall, Monument, etc.

*I haven't don't the tourist thing in Washington, DC in years and I'm excited to see the historic landmarks with adult eyes.

Tuesday
BIG DAY!!!

Wednesday
Back to NYC

Games, Games, Games

So, I have the Playstation 3 and I love it, but an addiction has developed...buying games. I want variety so if I get frustrated I can jump to another game, but I'm at that point now where I'm stuck, with Marvel Universe, The Darkness and Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga.

Oh well, maybe I can advance more this weekend!

BTW. If you gamed back when the Atari 2600 was out (like I did), then you need to start again. Head to the Gamestop store and play!

Palm's "Pre" Phone

2: in front of : anterior to <preaxial> <premolar>

What does that have to do with a phone? Who cares what "pre" means when you a phone that gives me what I need in a phone. The Palm pre may be my next phone. I'll miss the blackberry, but I real browser on my phone.

Birthday Week

That's right, it's been a great week.  For one, I'm alive and two I have a roof over my head and I pay my own bills.  Winning the lottery would be great, but maybe this year will be my year.

A few days ago I asked someone what their favorite movies were.  I mentioned:

E.T

The Color Purple

Star Wars (Episodes IV, V, VI)

The Matrix Trilogy

He proceeded to say, "You like those 80's movies."  His favorite movie, "The Departed and The Dark Knight".

I should have prefaced by saying this guy was born in 1988. (I was in high school!!!)  I was more floored that he said that comment about 80's movies.  

Another sign that I'm getting older.
