So i'm not a fan of American Idol but I do enjoy the auditions. This one was pretty funny. I also found a parody which I just had to share. Hilarious!

Who has their "pants on the ground'?

Also, what other parodies do you guys find funny? Share them please!

No power. Bad for productivity.

We just lost power in our building due to the storm. It's so annoying. I was in the middle of work and I didnt get a chance to save it. I have to do it all over again. I probably lost 10 minutes of work which isn't bad but this isn't the first time it happened. It's not the scale of the work I lost that bothers me, but more the neusance of the power going out.

All I see outside my window are palm trees leaning sideways and rain paving the streets. Imagine being out in a open field on an windy day and you can see the grass move with the wind. Well its the same seen but with the water on concrete. The wind is that intense. Anyway, our hard drives are back up so I can get back to work. I hope the drive home will be safe.

So I'm sure if you're in living in Orange County, you'll know that there's a storm and there was a tornado warning issued yesterday. Haven't heard anything today if there's a tornado warning for today also. Some areas are definitely getting hit harder than others. My co-workers just told me that a few blocks from the office I work at, a tornado ripped through the intersection of Harbor and 19th street. Windows were shattered through the sheer force of the wind. It doesn't really make me feel all that great since my desk is next to this huge window. I also found out that the Ruby's diner at Seal beach was hit. I just hope everyone stays safe out there and stay alert!

Check out my wife's blog when you get a chance. She's has cool posts. Her recent one was really good. It's about being prepared for emergencies. Overall, she has a lot of interesting ideas to prepare you for an emergency.

inspired by gab

So gab (my wife for those who don't know) started blogging and she basically got me thinking about blogging. I've actually tried blogging in the past, but I think I got like three to four posts and then stopped. Not really sure what happened there. I think it was around the time that I got my iPhone. I remember seeing Apple's keynote presentation where they featured WordPress or a similar app that allowed people to blog on their iPhone. So that's pretty much how it all got started. I'm hoping that this blog actually turns into something. I don't really have any specific topic or subject to focus this blog on, but for now it'll pretty much be just random posts here and there. I guess for now just keep checking back on my blog to see what changes happen to it.
