Magic, Magic, Magic....Is it real?

I often questioned myself when I see magic being preformed in front of my very eyes. I don't believe it is real, do you? However I don't know how people do it. When I was younger my neighbor was a magician and as much as I tried to be friends with his kids, so I would get to participate even closer with his magic tricks, I just could not stand being around them.

I know now that I should have endured the pain and anguish, just to learn a couple of tricks. Especially the sawing in half piece. That always amazes me. Even more than the flying or any other illusion. Cutting someones body in half and exposing it to the audience, then putting them back together again......you can't tell me that doesn't enthrall you. It does doesn't it.

Well check out this video, it will knock your socks off.

Merry Christmas

I wanted to take a moment and wish you all a Merry Christmas, I hope that all of your dreams come true this holiday season. I know mine have. At this time last year I was stuck in Retail and I was working so much that my wife and daughter left for 3 weeks and unfortunately I didn't have the chance to miss them. Boy am I glad I have the chance now to have fun during this holiday season and enjoy the time with my Family.I hope that all of us will remember the good old times when we were kids and have the chance to take a nap like Snoopy and even spend time decorating the tree a little bit. I know we may not always get our tree to look as good as this one.

One last thing, if anyone knows where I can get a Wii at this time and have it ready for Christmas morning I would really appreciate a phone call. "My wife really wants one" if you know what I mean. I am sure we will have to wait till after Christmas, but hey it's the thought that matters. Right?Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Family Photos

I work for a Virtual Tour company, their product is to make 360 degree tours of homes. This past year as the market has changed a little bit we have come out with a new product that allows the agents to save a little money and shoot the property themselves. I wanted to see how simple it was, so I went in and created a tour myself, from pictures of my family. Here you go I hope you enjoy.

Blogs in the office

This past week in the office there has been a recent rush to publish and create your own blog. Due to this rush I have added a lot of content to my blog including links to other blogs. Please feel free to check out some of these other blogs. Some of the newest additions have been "The Stewside" by Brad Stewart, "Does it Really Matter" by Mike Dover, Doug Long, and Ty Roberts.

These new blogs have added a lot of color to my blog and for that I would like to say thank you. Now my key goal is to be able to compete with these constant bloggers. So I will work on posting more accurate information and something that may intrigue more of my readers. This post so far does not seem to be adding to my key goal.

So until later!

Vick is Sentenced

As everyone is trying to get ready for the new outfits that may come our way with the holiday season, Michael Vick is trading his black/white pinstripe Armani suit that he wore into court today for an orange jumpsuit that he will be wearing for the next 23 months. Of course they gave him an option to get out 3 months early with good behavior. Which will put him out just in time for the 2009 season.

I say let him rot in jail for as long as possible. I am sick and tired of these professional athletes that have money and can get away with anything and everything. So I say make an example of him, and let him sit there for the entire sentence. But that is just my opinion.

Vikings are on a run!

It seems as though my Vikings are even starting to amaze myself. It did not really occur to me to bet on my Vikings against the 7-3 Giants. In fact I was on my way to San Diego when I even thought about stopping in a t Vegas and betting $100 on the Giants. Boy would I have been wrong. I guess that is why you should not bet/gamble. Whatever........I still love to play the game. But it makes you think. My Vikings are now 5-6 and have won 3 of their last 4 games. If they continue this stretch they could end 9-7! What was that a winning record? That has not happened in the longest time. I can't even remember. All those that have ever had a losing streak come to an end, I am as excited as a little kid on Christmas Morning.

Sean Taylor's Death

It pains me to see a young man such as Sean Taylor, who had a ton of potential, lose his life to such a ridiculous thing as a robbery. Sean was a great player and will be missed by all those who watched him play. Not only the Washington Redskin Fans but also those who watched him play against their teams. Sean did not get the chance this year to play against the Vikings this year, however I did watch his 2 interception game vs the Packers earlier this year. That is when I decided to bring him onto one of my Fantasy Football Teams. He was a great player and will be missed.

Vikings Season

Well, my Vikings are doing better. They beat their old QB Culpepper and his new team the Raiders. But as for the season, well 4-6 is not bad, considering we don't have a QB that can stay healthy or a Wide Receiver that can catch the ball more than 5 times in a game. And the fact that we finally got a running back, Peterson, that can run the ball and then he gets hurt. But Chester Taylor finally put up a good game and we beat the Raiders.

Sadly I will dance at that victory and celebrate every chance I can until we decide to pick up some good talent. It makes me wonder what the Vikings would be like if they could have help onto Moss and Culpepper. However, as time has shown, both of those guys did not do anything after they left the Vikings. It was not until Culpepper went to Oakland that he started to perform like the old '99 Vikings I remember. And then there was Moss, who took 2 years off in Oakland and then decided to return the the NFL and catch an amazing 18 TD's so far in the season to one of the best QB's (my opinion) to ever play the game.

In the end, It is exciting to have my former players celebrating their successes as I sit back and watch my Vikings swindle in dismay down to the bottoms of the earth.

Sad thing is, they won't do bad enough to actually get a good 1st round pick. No they will succeed just enough to stay away from those top performing players that can make all the difference in a team that is in need of a star. I am going to guess they will end it with a 6-10 season beating only the 49ers and the Bears. Though it will be a close game with the Redskins, but somehow they will lose it in the 3rd and then never see the daylight again.

I will be back next year as they continue on in their seek for a playoff birth, something that has been eluding them for the past 7 years. I don't even care that much about the Superbowl, or even divisional title, I just want to make it to the palyoffs.

As you can see, Jayla is already posing for the camera!
