Yes, I still go to Starbucks on occasion. They do have good pastries and sandwiches.
There is a free UFC event this weekend that looks to be very decent. It is free so that makes it even better. Wouldn’t it be great if all UFC events were free?

I just reformatted my laptop and it feels brand new again. Fast and efficient. I think this satisfied my want to buy a new laptop. There are such an abundance of amazing deals out there.
I currently am on the vista operating system but still prefer the xp o/s. So getting a new laptop would also force me to adjust to another system o/s windows 7 which might not be backwards compatible with my programs and hardware. I don’t want to be searching for patches and drivers. When I bought this laptop, the patches didn’t work for my previous printer even with the downloaded drivers. I am hoping to put that off for as long as possible.
I just watched the Paquiao vs Clottey fight and was surprised that Clottey didn’t go for it. I was even more surprised the Pacquiao didn’t knock out Clottey or hurt him. Yes, Clottey had good defense but Pacquaio did land a substantial amount of punches to Clottey’s head and body.
Pacquiao landed 232 out of 682 power punches throughout the 12 rounds. Here is the link to the compubox numbers. It is a pdf file so it will take a minute to load.
I guess it amazes me because he did knock out Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto with less punches. Basically, these fighters could not handle his power. Also, I believe Cotto did knock down Clottey once in their fight (based on the Pacquiao vs Cotto fight it looked like Pacquiao was the heavier hitter).
I am a happily married husband of 20 years who likes watching movies, drinking coffee, buying and selling comics, surfing the net, and reading blogs of all sorts.
My best friend is my wife. My favorite dogs are golden retrievers. My favorite city is Seattle. My favorite weather is rain. My favorite drink is coffee. My favorite music is Jazz. My favorite game is Chess. 'Noid' is a quirky way of saying nerd, thus I became 'Chessnoid'. My favorite TV comedy show is Seinfeld. I like to watch Dexter, Californication, Bachelorette, True Blood, Top Chef, Boxing and MMA too.
I graduated from Woodbury University with 2 Bachelor of Science degrees in Finance and Marketing with a minor in Management. I also have a high interest in reading articles and analysis relating to business and economics.
I am simply a very lucky person with a great life. I am grateful for all the blessings in my humble life. I try not to take anything for granted because I know my life and everything in it is truly a gift.
