Last night I went out with Brian, David (or Navid - whatever he goes by), Bobby and Olaf. Anyhow we were at Eleven and all of us were on the patio. While we were out on the patio the song - "Call on Me" by Eric Prydz starts playing. I mention to Bobby that I thought that this music video was funny. He actually knew the music video.
Anyhow, so it's Saturday night and I was playing with youtube and came across it. It's too funny not to post. Check it out!
To the boys - let's hang out again soon. I hear Brian calling out Beer Bust. Shall we?

Watch for Flying Debris
I had a hard time getting up for work this morning after a night hanging out with Brian, Navid, Olaf and Bobby. It was fun but I had a hard time getting up especially since I had a good amount of alcohol to drink. Well that and I didn't get home until about 1:30 a.m.
I had my alarm set for 4 a.m. however I didn't get up until much later granted I only had like 3 hours of sleep. I actually was at work an hour late but it's what happened on the way to work that freaked me out.
I was driving on the 110 freeway towards Long Beach. As I was driving I was coming up on the 105 and I see the car in front of me roll over something and it looked like somebody's bumper or a huge piece of metal. The car rolls over it and it comes flying at me. It lands in front of my car and I drive over it.
I was so freaked. I pulled over and check everything out but there wasn't much I could check out especially on the freeway. I kind of just stayed where I was for a good 20 minutes. Not sure what I should do - stay and figure out to do or just go straight to work.
I ended up going straight to work. At times there were awkward noises from the car especially when I would veer a little to the right or make a right turn. When I finally arrived at work and parked I took a peek under the car to see if there was any damage. I do see some marks and notice my front passenger tire is deflating. I decided to call for road side assistance.
I had him change the tire and check for damage. Turns I drove over damaged the tire and bent the rim. I find a place in Carson to check out the tires. It turns out to be even worse. In addition to the front passenger right tire being damaged and the rear passenger right was also damaged. Along that my aligned went off. Luckily, they were able to fix everything.
What a weird day? Don't you agree. Well it didn't stop there. I was on my way home and made the transition from the 110 freeway to the 10 freeway. Guess what's in the middle of the frikkin freeway. A pink couch.
I didn't hit it but I think I'm going to be staying off the road for the rest of the day. I don't think I was meant to be driving today.

Back to Schedule
Now that I am back and running since I am injury free I am also back to hitting the gym and hitting the weights. I have not touched a weight at all during the summer and in my first workouts I am obviously weaker. So it'll have to be lighter weights until I get back to where I was before all the injuries. Anyone want to hit up the gym with me? Let's go!

Really? Diego?
I had a pretty busy day today. Had to drop Andrew off at the airport, go onto a conference call and do two recruitment meetings. It's a lot. However I did get a good laugh today. I was making reminder phone calls for tomorrow and one of my co-workers come by with a cut out of Diego and was like - "Look, It's You!!!"
Do I really look like Diego? Could be a Halloween Costume for this year. Check out the pictures of me and Diego and you tell me if I do.

Off and Running
For those of you who didn't know I have taken 3 weeks off from running due to injury and illness. This week has been the first time I have been able to run. The first couple runs were good. It felt good to be pounding the pavement. Today was my first actual long run. My last long run was 15 miles. I was going to attempt to do 10 miles. Unfortunately that didn't happen. I was able to do 8.4 miles. Not a bad start but still a ways to go until getting my legs and body back into shape for the marathon in December. Send me good thoughts!!!

Play on Names - Part 2
I wanted to share with you another story. If you read the last post about Buster Hymen well I have another one but this one happened to Trevor. Actually, what happened to me on Friday made me think of what happened to Trevor.
Trevor was at In n Out waiting for his order. At In n Out when your order is ready they call your name.
An order was ready and they were calling out SHADY NASTY. They say it a couple times - Order for Shady Nasty. Order for Shady Nasty. No one responds and they call it one more time. Order for Shady Nasty.
A woman finally walks up to pick up her order and says - It's Sha-Dynasty (Shah-Die-Nys-Tee) picks up her order and walks off.

Play on Names
On Friday I was doing reminder phone calls for my meetings on Saturday. As I was going down the list I come across BUSTER HYMEN. Okay so I see this name and I'm like this is a fake. Buster Hymen - Bust Her Hymen. Although I don't get too many fake names on my reservation list to my meetings but it can happen.
I decide to call to see if this person was real. One number was an 866 number and the other was an area code that I have not seen before. So obviously my suspicion for this being a fake is heightened. I call both numbers and they were both hotlines for doing your own business or having an at-home business. So I hung up.
Approximately 45 minutes passes and my phone rings. I pick up and someone asks did someone call inquiring about starting your own business. I respond to saying No. I was doing reminder calls for my meeting tomorrow and your number was listed for Buster Hymen. I apologize but someone is playing a prank.
The person responds actually Buster Hymen is my manager in the Calabasas area.
OH SH#T BUSTER HYMEN is a real person!!!

The Day After
Yesterday I had my teeth whitened and afterwards my teeth were really sore. There was a weird pain but it's the day after the pain is gone. Except when I eat. I need to be careful what I eat so that there is no pain and that my teeth don't stain again. So that means no coffee, tea, ketchup, soy sauce, etc. etc. There was a whole list. Water and Crackers it is. hahaha.

A Brighter, Whiter Day
Tomorrow I have a teeth whitening appointment. I have been wanting to do this forever. Ever since I was young I was always made fun of my teeth especially the color. Now I get a chance to get them nice and white. I'll be doing the Zoom! procedure at my dentist and will have trays done for upkeep. Woohoo! I do it tomorrow afternoon and hopefully it will turn out well. I took a before picture and I will take an after picture to post on the blog after it's done. I'm so excited. I'll keep all of you posted.

Trippin
Today was one of the few days I go to lunch by myself. My counterpart Juliana is in Philadelphia on vacation so it was just me. On my way to the City National Plaza Foodcourt a lady trips on a piece of concrete that was raised a little bit next to tree.
What I thought was funny was that she looked at her male friend (not sure if it is her husband, friend, boyfriend, or whatever - however I do think it is her husband or boyfriend) and gave him this mean stare like it was his fault.
Next time she needs to watch where she's going because if she does the same thing and blame it on the guy she is with - She's Trippin!!!

3-D
This past weekend was the Disneyland 1/2 Marathon. I was there of course supporting my team. Everything went well and it looks like everybody finished.
With all the events ending around noon I spent the rest of my day and the Happiest Place on Earth - Disneyland!
One part of the day Trevor and I went to go see the Honey, I Shrunk the Audience Attraction. As I was walking into the theatre I was reminiscing about what used to be there - Captain E-O. That was one of my favorite shows. I kind of wish it was back at Disneyland. Enjoy the vids below.
And We're Back!!!
For some weird reason Blogger decide to disable my blog saying that it is a spam blog. Weird - Wonder's what's on my blog that would make them think it was. Oh well. Now it's back. Whew!
