I can only imagine the pain, although the aftermath is a lot calmer than what I expected

Now if there was only one for the cookie monster ;P

Sons of Anarchy, one of my favorite shows has just started! I was so looking forward to this episode for a year now and unfortunately I was disappointed. Basically the premiere picks up from season 2 almost as if it never ended. The story hasn’t really developed and they just want to keep you guessing. Compared to the last 2 premieres this was the worst. No excitement no questions answered… nothing! If only this was the finale then that would have made sense. I sure hope the rest of the season gets better.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars

Although I do recommend you to watch this show anyway, its only the start.

To be honest I wasn’t even sure if this was real yet its very legit. This is from the about page on their website:

Fight Football League (FFL), is an organization which promotes a new form of entertainment that takes inspiration from an ancient game called “Harpastum”.
This very popular game during Roman Empire was practiced as a training for battle, it is the foundation of modern Soccer and Rugby and it is still played once a year since 1500 in Florence, Italy with the name of “Calcio Storico”.
Fightfootball takes the essence of these legendary games, introducing innovative rules and equipment to develop a tough but safe game.
In the FFL the objective is to score goal, however, players are allowed to fight their opponents using several fighting techniques. FFL Rules are manifold, it is only allowed to fight only one against one, it is not allowed to strike when running or towards whom is running, no hitting from the back or on the ground, injuries or KOs can consequence into the elimination of the player.
Footballfighters are athletes coming from different backgrounds, mainly: Calcio Storico, Rugby, Boxing, Wrestling and “Mixed Martial Arts”. FFL training is the ultimate workout, Footballfighters need to be in condition to run and fight to defend themselves, their share of playing field, their teammates and ultimately score goal.

I’m guessing this is for those who want to watch UFC and Rugby and Football together. Coming December 2010.

I’m back and apparently I am very busy! This means that blogging gets the shorthand this time and unfortunately I just have no time. Just to give you a picture of how I am busy:

1) I have 5 upper division classes each requiring at least 8 hours per week.

2) I now work as a TA for a CIS class and that is time consuming as well.

3) Ramadan is just killing my time so hopefully once that is done I might squeeze more time for blogging.

4) With all that I still need to get some exercise which is VERY time consuming.

So there you go people, that’s life with a touch of meh !

I am fully aware that is Ramadan and it isn’t really convenient to go to Vegas now but I usually just walk around and see shows. Even if I wanted to do something, I’m not 21 yet so I can’t really do anything let alone book a hotel on the strip.

Bood and I arrived Thursday night after a fun road trip hungry as hell. Fatburger was our first option but we missed the turn and it was too crowded anyway. So our next choice is room service. We checked in at the Trump International hoping that room service is still open. I haven’t had the best of experiences with room service but wow I did not expect their food to be this good. Unfortunately I didn’t take a picture (because I was that hungry) and just digged in!

Then Friday came and now this when the action starts. First we both overslept and might have slept even more if it wasn’t for house keeping. Seeing how most of the day is gone, we booked 2 massages at the Trump till our shows start. The massage was nothing I have ever experienced before. I am usually tense during massages and therefore making it difficult for the masseuse as they always complain. Not this time though, I was surprisingly relaxed.

After the massage we rushed to the Tropicana to our next show: Brad Garret’s Comedy Club. Boy did we have fun (cause we were in the front row). Mike Saccone and Dom Irera performed that night. Mike Saccone started and he was hilarious. Then Dom Irera come and that is when the fun started. I saw him back in November 2008 when he toured with Russell Peters. The only difference this time is the smaller crowd and US sitting in the front row. So he starts picking on people in the crowd for numerous reasons but never found anything to pick on us. Until Bood ordered water ! He saw the bottles and he was like “Why aren’t you drinking?”, I told him I am not of age (didn’t want to make it bigger than it is) and that’s when it started. Dom then started asking where are we from and from there on he forgot about his act lol. All of a sudden he starts talking about how most Arabs aren’t terrorist and all that crap. But he was very creative in his questioning. I thought he would just focus on us for the rest of the night but no, he brought us back at the best time. For example, there was this guy who can’t stop coughing, so he asked how do you tell a guy in Arabic “Stop coughing you are ruining my set!”. I’m not going to write everything he said about us but as you can see it was a fun night.

Going to Vegas in Ramadan is an experience. Not that I would do it again but hey, now I can say I did it ;p!

I bought the Blackberry Torch a week ago and I got it on Sunday.

First Impression: Let’s start with the box. It was very small compared to any phone I ever bought maybe even the smallest. Another thing was the charger, it looks more like the iPhone charger now with the detachable usb. The phone itself was a bit bigger than I expected but not too big to whine about. OS 6 on the other hand is amazing and made me love Blackberry all over again.

This is the box compared to the 9700 box.

This is the charger compared to a US quarter.

Display: Is very clear and sharp maybe the best from Blackberry but still not close to the iPhone 4. Its big enough for smooth touching but typing on it is a bit compact but I can adapt.

Battery: Surprisingly the battery performs well compared to the 9700 and iPhone.

Data Input: Both the keyboard on screen and the physical are very responsive and smooth. Can’t complain there.

Memory: Nothing to brag about just the usual memory you get in smartphones.

Navigation and Blackberry Maps: It wasn’t working and I don’t think it can compete with Android phones as some have turn by turn navi.

After more than 24 hrs (again), I am back in Arizona. This is one of my worst travelling experience ever. I took the weirdest route to get to PHX and that was through Frankfurt then Chicago. I have never entered the US through Chicago and it would be the last time. Airports like Chicago, Atlanta, LAX, are very crowded and lines already form before you even get there. Where as in PHX and DC either you are the first to get there or there is only one other airline that landed with you. If anything the line goes by much faster in these 2 airports. Not Chicago! Apparently my flight landed with a Korean plane which are a handful. I noticed that when Koreans go for their turn the process takes forever while others much faster. So I blame Koreans for missing my national flight! From there on it was downhill. I mean the flight to Frankfurt and Chicago were very good (I upgraded the Chicago one) but still it’s all in the end. So after I missed my first flight, they canceled the second flight as soon as the second the plane arrived and booked me on a third flight. Once that was done I had to move to another terminal and go through security again! The agent failed to tell me that all terminals are connected and I just could have taken a long walk to my gate. So after 6+ hours of waiting in Chicago I finally get on my flight to PHX.

When I landed in PHX the person on the aisle forgot his wallet on the plane. So you can imagine me trying to catch up with him but I think he really wanted to see his family as he was in a rush. After I gave up on finding him I just gave it to the information desk hoping you can get it in time. After that I realized that US Airways delivered all their bags and mine were not one of them. So then I line up at baggage services only for them to tell me my bag MIGHT come on the next flight. So much for tracking the bag. As I was leaving the guy who lost his wallet came to thank me and next thing I know he hugged me. It felt good that despite me having one of my worst days, I made someone else’s good. Now I wish my day stopped there. I reach home, ah yes home sweet home, to find a lake of water just waiting for me. With the monsoon season in Arizona, apparently the humidity from the rain a motor that is supposed to take the water out and just started leaking. Thankfully the apt manager showed up and fixed it, bear in mind its a weekend and its like 9. So that got fixed after a while and YES, I wished it stopped there. My cable wasn’t working nor was my internet. I tried to shower but there was so much calcium build up on the shower head that it couldn’t even drip water. I sweat so much on this journey that I think an Indian would have said I smelled. I didn’t have my bags so I couldn’t really change my clothes. This is where I just took a deep breath and just lay on the bed.

I hope you liked to hear me suffer because I feel so much better just writing about it . Everything is ok now if you were wondering!
