Dust in the Wind – Kansas

This song is sad and it reminds me of today. Don't ask. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH2w6Oxx0kQ


DING! 5000 Ebay Feedback Rating! Green Star baby!

Well today we finally hit the 5000 feedback rating mark on Ebay. Much of the credit goes to my wife as she does most of the shipping and answering of customer service emails. Ebay feedback rating has been diluted a bit with the introduction of Dealer Seller Ratings (DSRs). We manage to keep a descent DSR rating as well as sell →


Star Wars AT-AT Stroller

Hahaha my buddy Jay (happy birthday bud) sent me a link to this photo and recommended I get one for my son Gabriel. It's totally bad-ass, don't get me wrong, but I think that thing would be a bitch to fold and put in the SUV. I could be wrong through. Maybe the armor just snaps off and stores easily. →


Protected: Report cards, volleyball, myspace, and cell phones

So Taylor's taken the next big step by graduating 8th grade and getting ready to enter High School this fall. She's probably more prepared than I am for all the things that come with taking that step. I've decided it's time that Taylor gets a cell phone despite me finding her now defunct myspace page. I'm against her having a myspace →


Protected: Princess Leia – Episode V

My daughter Leia turned five years old on friday. I can't believe how fast time flies. I can remember like it was yesterday when we took her home from the hospital. She'll be starting kindergarten in the fall and I'm so excited for her. Her brother Logan turns 2 years old on the 10th of July so instead of two birthday →


2008 SDCC San Diego Comic Con

I've been taking my family to the San Diego Comic Con every year for the past several years. This year's comic con is only a few weeks away and we are looking forward to it. In previous years it was very easy to go to the con. When we lived in downtown San Diego we would just walk to the convention →


Protected: Year of a Million Dreams

"Year of a Million Dreams." That's Disney's marketing line this year. For me and my family the year of a million dreams ends today as our annual passes finally expire. I can't say we didn't get a lot of use out of them. We went to Disneyland and the adjacent California Adventure once or twice a month. This is the second →


Twenty Four

Twenty Four. The MVP wears it. Twenty Four. The Lakers led by that much during game 4. Twenty Four. I cursed at my TV at least twenty four times during the 3rd and 4th quarters. As a Laker fan this has been one of the most devastating losses I've ever witnessed. It is hard to believe even the strong willed →


iWant the new iPhone

So we're exactly one month away from the release of the new iPhone. Coincidentally, my contract for Verizon has finally ended. Let me start out by saying I will be purchasing a new iPhone on July 11. In fact, I will be buying two (1 for me and 1 for Vee). However, unlike my Apple Fanboy friend Drew, I'm a →


Fiasco. A Debacle even.

No, I'm not referring to the Lakers being down to the hated Boston Celtics two games to 1. Yesterday, the tenant of my condo in downtown San Diego flooded the unit and caused damage to every condo unit below mine all the way down to the freakin' parking garage. Somehow, he thought the toilet would be a terrific place to discard →


RoguePinoy.com v2.0?

  I don't think so. For those that don't know me I was known for a time as RoguePinoy. I used to have a photo blog that I started back in 1999 when I worked for CollegeClub.com. It was a time when blogging wasn't as mainstream as it is now. Most of the bloggers during that era didn't have such cool →
