Miss California Is My Girl

During last night's Miss America Pageant, Entertainment Blogger Perez Hilton questioned Miss California Carrie Prejean about the topic of Gay Marriage. With cameras fixed and the spotlights trained on Miss Prejean, she boldly stated that she believes marriage should be between one man and one woman. I think that Perez Hilton was just looking for a "gotcha" moment to trap Miss California and to advance his own minority agenda. He is the epitome of hollywood sleaze and will seize any opportunity to assail anyone who believes that marriage is an institution between one man and woman. I applaud Prejean's courageous stand against a controversial topic that is opposed to her Christian beliefs. Prejean finished second and if her response was the difference then that is a shame. In my book, Miss California is a winner and I am proud that she stood for her beliefs while being civil and respectful.

If you haven't seen the clip of the question, then click on the video below. This video also shows Hilton's response to Prejean's comments. If you don't think he is a sleaze bag then watch the clip.

CNN Reporter Loses Her Cool

This CNN reporter obviously cannot handle the pressures of her job while she interviews protestors at one of today's Tax Day Tea Party's. At the end she lashes out at Fox news calling it "right-wing" and "conservative." I don't know where she got her facts about fox but she clearly was having a rough day I support the people who chose to stand up against a government that is growing and to those who wish to institute a form of European Socialism in the United States. I do not support a Nanny State and the ideas that spring forth from it such as Universal Health Care, Nationalizing of the Banks, One World Currency, and restrictions on free speech. The people who protested today recognize that this country is at a crossroads and it is up to us to engage the issues and to represent the ideals of freedom, liberty, less government, and personal responsibility.

Where I'm At Right Now

I know that there are many things that I should be proud of. I enjoy working with pro audio equipment, I have had a steady job, I'm responsible, I have a college degree, and I'm very knowledgeable on many issues. 

Lately, I've been bothered with the idea that I'm just not good enough and have had a lot of self doubt about my future. When I get overwhelmed with these thoughts, it paralyzes me and its hard for me to be decisive. I don't know where I'll be in a year. I can only hope that I'll be in a better place personally, with my relationships, my career, and financially. Growing up scares me. I struggle with turning the page and I am praying for direction right now.

RIP: Nick Adenhart (1986-2009)

Today was a very sad day for me. Early this morning, I was jolted by the announcement of the sudden passing of Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart. Nick along with two friends were killed in an auto accident shortly after Wednesday's game against the Oakland A's. Nick was the starting pitcher on Wednesday's game and threw 6 scoreless innings. It was his best start ever as an Angel. Adenhart was only 22 but was the top pitching prospect within the Angels organization. I have followed Nick Adenhart for the last two years and after his performance last night, I was excited because I could sense the confidence that he had in his pitches. He was great. The photo below was taken the night of his death.


The tragedy is compounded because Adenhart was the victim of a drunk driver. His life was cut way to short and it is a shame that his full potential will never be realized. I mourn for his loss and continue to pray for his family during this difficult time. You will be missed Nick but never forgotten.

80's Classic: Airwolf

When I was a youngster growing up in the mid-80's there was no cooler show than Airwolf. Nothing captures the imagination of a little boy more than a futuristic, super sonic helicopter! I can remember playing with my plastic toy Army helicopters as I would reenact the dogfights. I also thought the theme song kicked some serious ass. I wish that it could play in the background whenever I'm driving to work or getting ready for a big challenge. GO AIRWOLF!!!

I'm Not Cool Enough To Buy A Mac

Check out Microsoft's new ad campaign as they attempt to take a swipe at Apple. Its pretty lame. They feature young "Generation Y'ers" on the hunt for the best laptop and value for under $1,500. "Mr. I'm too cool for a mac" has this one great line, "Macs to me are more about aesthetics than computing power" Nice one Aristotle...

With that being said, I do think it is cool that the entire commercial was filmed in Orange County. The opening scene and most of the commercial is filmed inside Fry's Electronics off the 405 & Euclid. At 0:10, the actor is at South Coast Plaza underneath the Bridge of the Gardens.
