Now What Do I Do?

It has been almost a week now since the sudden cancellation (and unnecessary in my opinion), of the MOJO HD channel. Formerly called iNHD, the channel went through a re-brand in which they changed to the MOJO label. Along with the new image came some new original programming, all of which was in HD unlike a good portion of the other HD channels which broadcast non-HD content. The MOJO programming was a staple of my television watching, and now it has been taken from me.

It has been a week now since MOJO went off air, and now I find myself scouring the current HD channels of Comcast to find a replacement, and needless to say I cannot. Hopefully, two of my favorite shows "Three Sheets" and "After Hours" will be picked up by another network, but as of now that does not look good. Until a replacement comes along I am left to the mundane programming of the major networks.

Blogging is Like Work

Well, as you can see from the posts' dates, I've had a hard time to keep a rolling blog. Between actual work time and fun time on th ecomputer, which includes updating Facebook and blogging (which feels like work), my hours spent on the computer is quite tremendous. I'd say that I spend about 14 hours a day on the computer in some fashion.

I've decided to revamp my "online-personality" structure. Going forward personal life events and updates will mainly be on Facebook, unless I feel like I need to expand on something in more detail, while this blog will serve as a place to share opinions, work/technical gibberish, and Internet findings. Lately, there have been a lot of things I've wanted to share with the world, but the task of updating numerous sites seems too daunting and ultimately I end up doing nothing. Hopefully, this new structure will cure that and I can again impose my persona on all.

If you have not already please add em to your Facebook friend list to keep up with personal life events. Thanks!

GO BEAVS!

'THE' OSU. The best OSU.

Speaking of "Let IT Rage", they came out and embarrassed the USC Trojans. The Rodgers brothers made the USC defense look foolish and made Riley look like a genius, two things that not many had predicted.

I had faith in the Beavs and was surprised at how they dominated the game, but something in the game commentary surprised me just as much. I couldn't believe the amount of national exposure/mention "The Peacock" received from the game's ESPN commentators and the Sportscenter anchors. Over and over again in the final minutes of the game they mentioned what a crazy party it would be at "The Peacock" after the game. I haven't been to that place since graduating, but I cannot believe that place is still standing, let alone garnering that kind of national reputation. All hail the "Dirty Bird"!!!

Time is Flying

The last month+ has just past right by me.  Between the wedding, honeymoon in Bali, and other travel it feels as though I missed the month of August and most of September.  And while it doesn't quite look like it outside here in OR, summer is nearly over an yet again I enter the Fall season pasty-white and having played little golf.

However, with the exit of summer the coming of fall brings some equally fantastic joys.  Beaver football is now upon us, hopefully they start "letting IT rage" here pretty soon with some big time games coming up.  Things looked much better against Hawaii, but its hard to call it a full-on rage after getting beat by Stanford and completely pummled by Penn St.  I am equally excited about the season preimere of The Office on Sept. 25 and our "Office Party" that night.  Fantasy Football season is now in full swing which takes up much of my free time, but I'll give it about 8 weeks before my teams are out of it and I abondon hope.  And before you know it snowboarding season will be here, which means I need to hit the gym routine (again) so that I'm not the old-guy sucking wind a third of the way down the mountain.

Counting down the hours...

...until the big day. Tomorrow many of the important guests arrive, one of whom is The COF who along with Nate and I will sit and stare at the Stars together. Tomorrow will be a magical night. Thursday night will be full of a rehearsal and dinner, and then Friday is the grand finale full of church stuff, beer, food, and of course family and friends. Can't wait to see everyone there.

How do you like that Apple

I have to give a special congrats to my dad on the recent sale of his million dollar cow Apple Red which made national news. She was sold at the Global Glamour Sale at Arethusa Farm for $1,000,000. She is one of only 3 or so cows to ever sell for a million dollars. Her (5) five-month old daughters were also sold for a total of $361,000.
