It’s safe to say that…
The WP upgrade is supposed to be one of the easiest upgrades, but it has failed my expectations miserably!
Aside from that, I’ve been having a rough couple of days lately. Work has not been easy and that must be just about the only reason it’s been kinda rough… Other then that, iBlog Solidario is coming up, Christmas is right around the corner and the New Year is upon us. =)
Did I mention that I need to do my laundry? I guess not…
My 4 Year Anniversary
So what happens when you miss your anniversary? In my opinion, absolutely nothing. Why should missing a 4 year anniversary affect the relationship you have? It makes no sense. As long as you remember at one point or another, it’s the thought that counts!
On that note… Happy 4 Year Anniversary Blog!
Technically a little over 4 years, but who’s counting
Dispensing some advice

TMZ Joke
It was Jennifer Lopez’s Birthday yesterday…
Skeletore took her out for some dinner…
Gotta love the sense of humor on TMZ.
Obama speech in Berlin
A speech down played by presidential candidate John McCain.
I’d love to give a speech in Germany but I’d much prefer to do it as president of the United States rather than as a candidate for president
However these were some of the points he stated throughout his speech.
He said it was time to “defeat terror and dry up the well of extremism that supports it”, arguing that Islamic extremism could be defeated just as communism had been in its time
He urged support for the Iraqis rebuilding their lives as the US passes responsibility to the Iraqi government and “finally brings this war to a close”
Bush and all Republicans should be happy…
It was the moment, he said, to “renew the goal of a world without nuclear weapons” and not “stand idly by and watch the further spread of the deadly atom”
Nothing new there…
He urged all countries to act with “the same seriousness of purpose” as Germany to reduce carbon emissions
I’m telling you, the man has to be nominated as world leader for the UN and partner up with Al Gore!
He called for global trade “that is free and fair for all” via BBC News
I would consider him as the world speaker for the UN if he doesn’t win the Presidential Elections. He clearly demonstrated his popularity in Berlin and I’m sure it has grown since then with his speech.
y nah… tranquilo quieto por ahora.
Norton Ghost 2003
Making backup files of my hard drives will be fun as always. My choice of software in order to do it is Norton Ghost 2003. I remember back in 2002 when I purchased my VAIO PCG-R505 with all the possible options in the world. Now it’s not worth much so I’m in need of replacing it as I vaguely stated in my last post.
Installing the few programs that I use isn’t fun so Norton Ghost should resolve the issue of having to do it over again. Now it’s time to reformat… adios!
iPhone? Mac? PC?
Not too sure if an iPhone is the way to go but I’m considering it. It’s either that or a trip to DR… or both!

CG125 – Listo para la carrera #3
Estas son fotos de un motor CG que tiene mi amigo Juan aya en Jarabacoa. Sucede que Juan se a caído mas de 100 veces por estar tomando y andando borracho en la motora. Mi tío quedo en mandarle dos mil peso para que arreglara el motor, pero la mama dizque no quería que arreglara el motor.
Bueno, el tio le mando los dos mil pesos y que hace Juan… se lo tomo. Al otro dia le pregunto yo, “Oye Juan, y el dinero que te mando Manuel?”… y el me dice… “nah sali anoche y me tome una botella pero todavia me quedan mil peso”… ok… pero embute, el se lo tomo todo… Entonce le digo yo a po’vamos allí a comprarle lo que necesita…
La ultima vez que Juan se estrallo por ahí… doblo el timón, la rueda, los cubiertos de la goma, sumió el tanque de gas (y tan dichoso fue Juan que la policía le pincho el tanque para sacarle la gasolina), le quitaron la luz del frente, la luz de los frenos, el guarda lodo de la goma de frente y suerte tiene que la silla no se la robaron por que solo tenia días de haberse comprado. Y lo peor de todo fue que se rompió el brazo, callo de cabeza inconsciente para el hospital.
La piezas se compraron pero Juan se me adelanto. El le llevo las piezas a un amigo “mecánico” para que armara la motora de nuevo… Que toyo. La motora volvió con el timón viejo en vez del nuevo, las luces se la montaron pero sin ninguna atención a los detalles y la goma que tenían que cambiar se la dejaron igualita.
Cuando yo vi el toyo que hisieron con la motora solo me quede criticando el mal trabajo que habian echo. Yo mismo no puedo criticar a menos que tenga la razon… entonce ahi me puse a pensar… si hicieron el trabajo tan mal hecho entonces dejame arreglar la motora como debe de ser.
Salimos y compramos 3 botellas de pintura roja y 2 de clear. Desarme la motora de nuevo y le monte la luz del frente y la luz de los frenos como se tenia que montar. Y eso que tenían otro toyo de tape eléctrico (negro) envuelto con todo los alambres de las luces viejas y la bocina que no tiene. Me faje a lijar, pintar y renovar la motora… y al fin resulto.
And like my father said, “Dure mi culpa lo que dura así de bonita”… Al otro día sale Juan a llenar el tanque de gasolina y vuelve con el tanque botando gasolina por la tapa… que verdugo… la pintura roja dañada y Juan ni lo vio. Volví a pintar el tanque pero quisiera saber que precaución le puso Juan cuando se lo llenaron.
Quedan invitado…
The E87
Code name E87 – BMW’s 1 Series is out on the streets and I’ve seen a few of them already. I think it looks a bit too boxy and over priced for such a small car. However, BMW compensates the price with the 300HP motor under the engine. At $10,000 more over a 02-05 M3, I wouldn’t even look at it to tell you the truth. But who knows what the price will be at in a year or two.

Let me repeat this again. and add something else to it… Criticize but don’t condemn.

165/80/15R Tires – Found on Ebay!
Besides that this will be the second time the car gets painted… so the experience of doing it before goes a long way. I hope I don’t mess it up. I already took all of the moldings, lights, fenders and bumpers off. Not to mention that I’ve already sanded 3/4 of the car!
