1:33 pm	God bless America... True story: So I was at church yesterday (yes, remember I'm Roman Catholic. The anti Drunken Heretik). In the middle of mass someone ran inside and yelled: "I pray for the deportation of illegal aliens and the return of a sovereign nation." Then he runs out. I said to myself "Under the God," in reference to an old Tin Machine song. Is it just me or are people just getting more and more crazy angry? (Comment on this)

11:15 pm	What a country... =) So people have been asking me my opinion about the Supreme Court decision giving companies unlimited spending power in elections through PACs. I have stated simply this. I will make a $25 bet with anyone that the next President, the 45th President of the United States will be... Mrs. Sarah Louise Palin True dat. (Comment on this)

8:58 am	Life in Virginia I come home from work and my wife says "Baby, it is going to snow tomorrow, what do we do?" I looked at her and said "We die." Found out she wasn't exactly a fan of The Last Starfighter. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

10:22 am	Yeah, I'm coo-coo In my listening habits. In the morning I listen to NPR, then I'll switch over to listen to Glenn Beck. In the afternoons I listen to Air America and in the evenings if I'm working late I'll listen to Sean Hannity (get HANNITIZED!). And I'm a left leaning registered Libertarian that believes in limited government programs that would benefit society (but if I were running things I would shut down departments like the Department of Agriculture). No wonder why my wife pulls her hair out sometimes. Poor lass. Not trying to start a flame war. I was just contemplating myself out loud. I miss Toi Thai and Club Violaine. Not at the point of missing Bar Sinister yet. *giggle* Current Mood: contemplative (Comment on this)

7:02 pm	Goth in Richmond? Give it up. For those who really know me I never claimed to be goth. I like the music, clothes, people, etc... But here I am in Richmond, VA wanting to go out (wife's in LA) and there are only two clubs here. One on Mondays and one on Wednesdays. Is that it? Don't want to drive the two hours to DC where there are TONS of goth clubs. Don't want to go to Hampton (where I was born) for a "supposed" club (that is an hour drive). Right now I can hear Shok's voice telling me about a lot of clubs that he knows in PA. Problem is they are 3 hours away. Yeah, it's amazing how close you are to things on the East Coast. Oh well, gonna pour some tequila, play some Cruxshadow and maybe fall asleep. If you have any ideas, let me know... (4 Comments |Comment on this)

11:04 am	NEEEEEEEEEEEEERD! You can take the nerd out of Los Angeles but you can't take the nerd out of the nerd. Or something like that: Hip LA corporate banking representative: So Gabby, how are you liking Richmond so far? Me: It's like living on Endor. Minus the Ewoks. Hip LA corporate banking representative: Excuse me?! fin. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

4:34 pm	Attention 401(k) people I get asked for advice from time to time, so I just though I would open up our retirement account and let you know what I'm doing/thinking. Enjoy. Current positions Stock Name: Ultrashort Dow 30 Stock Symbol: DXD Stock Description: Trades inverse of the market, so if the market goes down this stock goes up Percentage of portfolio: 2% Stock Name: Goldman Sachs Stock Symbol: GS Stock Description: One of the biggest investment firms in the WORLD! Percentage of portfolio: 65% Stock Name: Vice Fund Stock Symbol: VICEX Stock Description: Mutual fund that only invests in porn, booze, guns and gambling Percentage of portfolio: 33% Comments: Yeah, I'm waaaaay overweight in Goldman but that was a fucking no brainer. It was fucking trading at $72.09, are you kidding me?!? I'll probably trim some profit off once it hits pre market crash levels ($154). And yes, as you can see I am still negative about the market in general, but just a little bit (2%). If we get another moderate downturn I might just take early profit on Goldman and swap it for the Dow Ultrashorts. I still think we have yet to see the worse in this economy, but I'm not one of those stubborn economists (*cough* *KUDLOW* *cough*). The stock market is a leading indicator so if it starts to go up a lot then obviously things are looking up. Have a great weekend, everybody. (Comment on this)

11:41 am	Vegas... So I actually went out Saturday with my man Shok! I saw, Coleman and Karen, Jenz, Xian, Serina.... Even had dinner at Toi Thai at an ungodly 3 am. I was talking about how happy I was about going to Vegas this weekend (3 more days). Some people were like "It seems like you don't want any company when you talked about it on LiveJournal." Not true at all. If anyone wants to come along, feel free to e-mail me! It's gonna be crazy though. I'm going to do the Sterling Brunch at Bally's (lobster, caviar, etc.) It's like $85 a person but all you can eat. I'm gonna gamble a LOT because of my free paycheck. Basically anything goes. But if anyone want so come along, let me know! Three more days. (9 Comments |Comment on this)

1:52 pm	Watchmen: Aftermath I love the Arclight. Got there around 10 pm, had dinner and drinks. Made my way to the dome theater. You know, the website said that the two seats next to me were taken but no one showed up. That was a waste of $14 per seat. Anyways, the movie was all I was hoping it would be. It is in my top 10 best movies ever. The ending was silly, but that didn't take too much away from a solid piece of filmmaking. I really hope it wins some type of Oscar. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

12:05 pm	One of us will be tired tonight So yeah, I want to see Watchmen. Arclight Sunset is the perfect venue (booze and good food). I want to go Friday night. Went online and check the times. I was actually surprised that the 8:30 pm and 10 pm shows were sold out. So I pick the 7 pm showing. Whoops, no money on my credit card. So I go to pay it. Come back to the office, hop online and now the 7 pm showing is sold out. Only 11:55 pm is left. Ouch, I never EVER stay up past 11:55 if I can help it. This theater is gonna be empty, I mean who on earth would go see a movie that late?! Go to pick my seat and there were only 15 SEATS LEFT! And they put a timer on me like "you better hurry up and pick something, Negro..." Thank goodness the seats that I like were open (I hate sitting in the middle, I like isle seats). So there I will be 11:55 pm slightly buzzed and full watching the Watchmen. Probably should get there at like 10 pm or something. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:24 pm	OJ Simpson is a big dummy You knew the White folks would be gunning for you after that not guilty verdict awhile back. But yet you couldn't keep a low profile, could you? Now look at you. You deserve it. Should have been like Michael Jackson. After those not guilty verdicts, that motherfucker left the damn country!

4:15 pm	Update I should do these more. They're good to let peeps know what's happening with you. So, I'm pretty sure everyone knows I write a college basketball blog. Well starting this week I'm also writing once a day for Sports Illustrated doing their Reporters' Notebook talking about the same subject. Link here (depending on when you click, mine is the 2nd, 3rd or 4th down under Gabby). Gigs. Gotta love them. Even though 95% of my friends list are not into sports. Anyone watching the UNC/Michigan State basketball game tonight? Anyone? Bueller? (3 Comments |Comment on this)

1:00 am	It's official I am an official CrackBerry addict. That didn't take long. After I installed my ESPN App, my GPS driven Google Maps and my Flash card for 1 gig of my favorite music this thing that work gave me isn't half bad. Excuse me, need to respond to this e-mail now. (Comment on this)
