One of Those Days...

A flood of incredibly good things happen and inevitably, the other shoe will fall.

I had a great holiday, tons of fun, everything seemed to be going great.

Yesterday after work, for some reason I felt extremely tired and fell asleep at 6:00 p.m. I didn't wake back up until 6:30 a.m. this morning. Hmm... weird.

This morning I got to work, everything was fine, but then someone brought it to my attention that my car was running, so I ran outside to see that, in fact, my car was still running... it was locked, thankfully, but I forgot to take the keys out. I've never done that.

Fast forward to 4:00, when we get tomorrow's pot of coffee ready. My co-worker Taira always fills the grounds in the coffee maker and I always fill up the pot with water... well I barely tapped the pot against the sink when I went to fill it and the bottom breaks off...

WTF!!!

This is definitely one of those 'Bad' days I've heard so much about.

Battle Royale

It's that time of year again when New Year and Old Year duke it out in a 24 round, hard-hitting battle royale. There will be non-stop action and the winner will claim ultimate supremacy for an entire year, so there's a lot on the line.

New Year has remained the reigning Champion for about 2,009 straight matches in a row, but will this finally be the year that Old Year pulls the upset and wins the bout outright?! I have my doubts, but anything can happen.

Alternative Christmas Movies

Ho Ho freakin' Ho!... If you're tired of the average Miracle on 34th Streets, Home Alones, Christmas Story, Christmas Vacations, etc... here are my top 5 Alternative Christmas Movies...

# 5 - Trading Places - You might not think of this as a Christmas movie, and most of it isn't, but the disturbing, drunk and homeless Dan Akroyd donning the Santa Suit during the films finale, brings you right into the Christmas Spirit... oh and you get to see a young, beautiful Jamie Lee Curtis topless.

# 4 - The Ref - Dennis Leary kidnapping a bickering couple during Christmas... nothing says Holiday fun like that. This is a dark comedy and the actors were great playing off of each other.

# 3 - Gremlins - There is no better memory than watching evil gremlins run around the snow-covered, christmas lit town...

# 2 - Lethal Weapon - I love action movies that take place during the Holidays, this is a classic flick which has enough Christmas in it to make it on my list...

# 1 - Die Hard - Absolutely the best Christmas Action Movie ever! It has been an on-going Christmas Eve tradition that I snuggle up in a nice warm blanket and watch the bullets fly. Yippe Kye Aye Muthafucka!!

A Quick Little Rant

I'm really sorry that "Jesus" was brutally punished and murdered for our sins and all, but I don't really need to read spam emails about it that go into depth about how long the nails were that punctured his hands and feet and how the tendons in his arm ripped upon the weight of his body... Thanks but No Thanks... these are not things that I get off on.

And No... I'm not forwarding this morbid tale to 10 friends or anyone else. Why not celebrate "his" message instead of mourning "his" death.

Why Raw Coffee?

I've had so many people pester me and ask over and over again, 'why the name Raw Coffee?' so I just wanted to post the answer so that everyone will get off my damn back (OK, OK... no one has asked me yet... or read the blog for that matter, but here's the answer anyway...)

I use the term Raw Coffee for coffee that has nothing in it... no sugar, no milk or creamer, no cinnamon... just straight up, black coffee... that's how I drink it. I thought it was funny, plus it's just the raw, harsh way to drink coffee... and as for the blog, I just write unfiltered, raw and harsh blog posts and try to write like I like my coffee... tall black and strong... uhh... wait I think I'm thinking of something else now... nevermind...

New iPhone Blog Coming... NOW

I have decided to dedicate an entirely new blog to the iPhone and leave this blog for random thoughts, which was the original intention.

If you wanna read my personal experiences with my iPhone, apps, cases, etc... then check out my new blog cleverly titled "My iPhone Blog"... check it out! http://ajaysiphone.blogspot.com

iGot an iPhone!!!

It's been a full week and a day that I've had my iPhone and so far... I absolutely hate it. I'm so upset that I got rid of my reliable, sturdy Motorola Z9 phone and bought into the hype of this magical "iPhone." I'm pretty sure it was that cute little jingle that they use on their commercials that sucked me in.

Anyway, I've been using the iPhone for a week now and have had nothing but problems and complaints. For one, the umm, there's that one thing that I... uh...well...for two... the uh, well... hmm...

Now that I think about it, I guess there are no complaints. In fact, after giving it a second thought, this is probably the greatest purchase I've ever made and I couldn't be happier with it. If I think about it even further, I gotta say that I don't know how I possibly lived prior to having an iPhone... life before just seems kind of foggy and dreary, but now life is vibrant and colorful.

Maybe I'm going a little far, but in all honesty, I really do love this phone... not just for the phone part of it (which I don't have any complaints about...yet) but everything this device can do is amazing, and of course all of the apps and the camera etc...etc...etc...

I could probably write a 20 page dissertation regarding the iPhone, but I will try to keep my thoughts short and sweet.

I've been using an iPod Touch for about a year now, so navigating through the iPhone was quite familiar... the only differences are the obvious ones... the phone, the camera and the voice memos (there's a couple others I think I'm forgetting,) but nonetheless there wasn't much of a learning curve at all.

The main thing I appreciate is the constant connectivity. If I had my iPod Touch and wanted to use an app that required an internet connection, I had to search for a wi-fi signal, but now I can use any app wherever I'm at.

Another great thing is that I'm steadily decreasing the number of other devices I need to carry. I no longer have to carry around a phone and an iPod... I just freed up a pants pocket and have no clue what to put in it now... hmm..

There are many other devices that this phone can take place of, including calculators, GPS units, notebooks, and much much much more. There are 85,000 + apps in the App Store and that alone makes this purchase worth it.

So far, so good... will keep you updated the more I learn.
