We went to go see M. Night's "The Happening". I'm not too much of a fan of M. Night in the first place, but the previews looked pretty good for this one, so I was happy to go see it. Big mistake. If ever I saw a movie that I felt like I needed to demand a refund afterwards, it was this one. I literally walked out and said, "I want my 2 hours back". There was basically no storyline, and if you could find one, it sucked, the acting was horrendous and the dialogue was just as atrocious. I thought Mark Wahlberg was a better actor. Maybe he is and they just paid him squat for this film. But, whatever the case may be, don't go see this movie, less you want to shave 2 hours off your life.<br /></div></span>Mic Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14102907489605812249noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530503351076612268.post-33191496085480077112008-06-14T22:42:00.003-04:002008-06-14T22:47:14.598-04:00Chicago<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'lucida grande';">Just keeping you in the loop for a bit...</span><br /></div><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="400" height="267" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fkinofsic7246%2Falbumid%2F5211855111994801537%3Fkind%3Dphoto%26alt%3Drss" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>Mic Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14102907489605812249noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530503351076612268.post-52191772529175297842008-06-07T12:56:00.002-04:002008-06-07T13:29:45.986-04:00Residual Money<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">I've been doing the survey thing for some time now. Longer than I have been blogging. If you are unaware of what I am talking about, I belong to a few survey companies that pay me to take their surveys online. It's almost like free money, because it isn't hard. Most of the surveys aren't bad either, but every once in a while I get stuck doing a really long one that sucks.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">About a week ago I took one on snack foods. At the end they asked me if I could be of further assistance. Not only did I get points for taking the preliminary survey (points put towards cash), but now they wanted to send me a Palm Pilot so I can record my snacking for a weeks time. At the end I would simply package the Palm Pilot and send it back to them. In return, they will pay me $50 for doing it! Also, there might be a phase three survey for which I will get paid an additional $10. $60 for not having to do much at all, count me in. I most definitely clicked on the "opt me in" button.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">Yesterday I received the Palm Pilot, instructions and included was a bonus $10 Visa gift card just for agreeing to continue the research! This will be one of the easiest $70 I ever made. Do you want to get in on this action? Let me know and I'll show you where to go and you can start getting paid today.</span></div>Mic Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14102907489605812249noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530503351076612268.post-38417671629571860272008-06-07T12:27:00.002-04:002008-06-07T12:36:25.908-04:00Caught<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">It was bound to happen sooner or later. The simple nature of riding a motorcycle is you are exposed to the elements. Forget about turning on the A/C, and with summer here it's been getting hot. As soon as you stop moving, you start sweating. The other day I was riding home from Tampa and wouldn't you know it, it started to rain. Better yet, it started to monsoon. Needless to say by the time I got home I was drenched, but the bike was clean! It wasn't pleasant. It feels like pins and needles poking you everywhere. I checked the weather that morning and it wasn't supposed to rain. But, the weathermen also projected a few major hurricanes last year and we see how that panned out.</span>Mic Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14102907489605812249noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530503351076612268.post-32424153082880396322008-06-03T15:30:00.003-04:002008-06-03T15:47:06.049-04:00Freebie Mania!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">Today we have some awesome freebies!

The cheapest one I saw was $460 and it was ugly. Instead we went with a different brand, but just as good and they both still look awesome. Saved a lot of money in the process too.

I knew it wouldn't. So, after talking to the office, the next step is to go get some quotes on buffing the vehicle. Hopefully that will take it off. The part that sucks about it is I'll have to pay for the buffing, bring them the receipt and they will credit us on our rent. I guess there is no other way for them to do it.</span>Mic Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14102907489605812249noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530503351076612268.post-82281824745961028492008-05-27T11:48:00.003-04:002008-05-27T11:59:56.892-04:00My Memorial Day<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">How was everyone's Memorial Day? Ours was great. On Sunday, I did the church thing in the morning which was awesome. We had a big production with choir, orchestra and the band. We also had videos, lots of lighting and a drama. It was a great production and really touched a lot of people. That afternoon, <a href="http://misscole83.blogspot.com/">Nichole</a> and I road the bike over to her fam's house and had a big BBQ there. Good food... too much food.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">Yesterday <a href="http://misscole83.blogspot.com/">Nichole</a> and I decided to go outlet mall shopping and we drove down to Ellenton Prime Outlets. Good shopping down there. We got some good deals and bargains and had a good time doing it. Although, when we went to the food court to eat, it sucked. There was only one vendor in there that we had even ever heard of and it was Villa pizza, which isn't the best. Needless to say, that's what we had. But, dinner made up for it.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">We had some good home cooking from Cracker Barrel! I love Cracker Barrel and it's even better now that there is one closer to home. They started venturing farther from the inter-states a few years ago and now there is one 10 minutes up the road. I had the Fancy Fixin's Sampler which is an awesome sampling of some of their favorites. Of course I had to have the hash-brown casserole as well. After dinner, a little shopping in the store and it finished off a great day.</span></div>Mic Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14102907489605812249noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530503351076612268.post-59428724342914966762008-05-23T15:39:00.004-04:002008-05-23T16:05:00.941-04:00Freebie Corner<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';">Today's freebies are:</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';">2 Load Sample of <a href="http://www.snuggle.com/promotions/blue-sparkle-sample.aspx">Snuggle Fabric Softener</a></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';">Coupon for buy 1 get 1 on <a href="http://www.couponcat.net/printcoupons">Sobe Life Water</a></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';">Coupon for buy 1 get 1 on <a href="http://www.couponcat.net/printcoupons">Sierra Mist 2 liters</a></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">3.3 oz T<a href="https://www.lubriderm.com/generic.jhtml;jsessionid=P33M41TNUJ1X0CQPCCECUYYKB2IIWNSC?id=/lubriderm/include/instyle.inc&_requestid=378752">ube of Lubriderm</a> Lotion with Sunscreen (I said lube... *chuckle*)</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';">*Must register or login to print coupons*</span></div>Mic Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14102907489605812249noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530503351076612268.post-90433649434993035502008-05-23T15:31:00.004-04:002008-05-23T15:37:54.194-04:00Yellow With Black Speckles<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">How would you like to go to sleep one night and wake up the next morning to find out your car had a new paint job? Well, that's what happened to me! My yellow Blazer is officially yellow with black speckles! A few days ago they were painting the fence in our complex with a black, water-based paint. I was already gone and at work on the bike and Nichole was just leaving for work when the maintenance guys asked if my truck would be staying where it is (about 3 spots from the fence). Of course she told them yes and they said they would cover it. They did cover it but they only used scotch tape to hold the cover down and apparently it was a blustery day. Needless to say the whole driver's side of my truck is now covered in black speckles. It's even all over the windshield and so now the wipers scrap across it with a nasty, scratchy sound. After talking with the complex about it they said it was water-based and should come off. I'm thinking not though since it rained last night and I was driving and that did nothing. So, we will see. If it doesn't wash off they said to let them know and we would go from there. I'm not too pissed off about it because they did TRY to cover it and they said that if it doesn't wash off they will take care of it. Just upset about it and another thing to add to the platter.</span>Mic Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14102907489605812249noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530503351076612268.post-17187409280395343682008-05-21T10:39:00.002-04:002008-05-21T10:54:40.932-04:00Fine Print<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">I'm sorry if I offended anyone with the prior posts (now deleted).

It's about people actually "flipping" Geo Metros and making a profit. With the high gas prices going on, many can barely afford to fill their tanks. I for one, have not filled the tank in my truck in a couple of months. I can't afford to do it all at one time. You are talking $60 just to fill it. Instead I'll drop $10 or $20 in when it is needed. Just can't do it all at once. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">The article states that a brand new Geo Metro back in the day ran about $9,000. Now, they are being sold on Ebay for $7,000 - $8,000! Imagine that. The Metro, being a 3 cylinder, gets just as good of gas mileage as a hybrid. It really made me think of the extremes people are having to go to to get by. It's all about practicality now. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">Speaking of extremes and having no money, I also read an article about a middle class woman that got laid off and could no longer afford her condo. Now she is living out of her car with her two golden retrievers and sleeping in a parking lot "haven" that was created for people that have recently become homeless. It boggles my mind on how middle class people with decent jobs and nice homes and cars are now all of a sudden screwed and scrapping to get by. I just can't wrap my mind around it.

This Saturday, comic book stores all across the nation not only are giving away free comics but are also having guest artists and writers in the stores to speak with and get autographs. I was not a huge comic book fan when I was a kid, but there were a few I enjoyed. Now that I'm older, I enjoy the more graphic comics from writers such as Frank Miller. Doubt they will be giving away any Frank Miller comics, but I bet the free ones are just as entertaining. So, if you have kids, or even if you don't, get up to your local comic book store and get yourself and your family some comic delight.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">Via <a href="http://www.basenjimom.com">Basenjimom</a></span></div>Mic Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14102907489605812249noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530503351076612268.post-62147742471258776822008-04-29T12:19:00.002-04:002008-04-29T12:29:47.253-04:00Motorcycle<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">I got my bike! Actually, Nichole and I went and picked it up last Thursday. I've just been so busy with riding it, cleaning it, and figuring out the title and where to keep it things. It was a really quick learning curve for me and I'm very comfortable riding it now. Which is a good thing, because I can't wait to get Nichole on it and start riding together. I'm not completely ready for that yet, plus we still need to get her a brain bucket (helmet). </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">Sorry, no pictures yet, but soon.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">I was originally planning on keeping it outside with the cover on it. Not my first choice, but really my only choice. They have garages at our complex, but they want $90/month just for a stinking garage. They are out of their mind. Needless to say, after telling them we had a new vehicle they immediately said we have to put it in a garage. That pissed me off. I was prepared to go down there and raise some cane and tell them they were out of there mind. But, I got lucky.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">One of our neighbors was just getting home when I was leaving to go ride and he commented on the bike. We chatted for a bit and he mentioned that he had a garage and wouldn't mind sharing if I was interested. I took him up on his offer right away. $45/month is more like it. He has a bike as well, but it's in pieces. So, everything worked out. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">Unfortunately it's been yucky outside these few days and I haven't ben able to ride.

Where as the </span><a href="http://www.vandyke.org"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">church gig</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';"> and </span><a href="http://www.fullwavesoundstudios.com"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">studio</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';"> are more like careers. Those two I actually enjoy going to. It's nice to work and get paid for doing the things you love. But, unfortunately between the two, I still need another job to bring in more money. So, I continue to work at the mall. Well, recently I got screwed.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">I used to work at the mall that was right up the road from the house. Not only was it close, but it is a nice mall, with nice clientele and it was easy to make money. Making a long story short, the guy that is the manager there cried, bitched and whined long enough that he hired another part timer and basically cut my hours way back. It's not very fair to me, especially since I have been working for this company for so long. The companies excuse is that my availability is not any good. Well no shit when you have 3 jobs. Anyone working the part time hours this company has (27/week) needs another job. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">So, the only fix was to go work out in Tampa in the ghetto mall where no one has money and everyone wants something for nothing. I hate this mall (ghetto as any) and the clientele is even worse. Bunch of poor, dirty, redneck and ghetto, uneducated, waste of space people. I can't make anything out here having to discount and slash prices. Plus the drive alone sucks. It's too far to drive especially in a truck. And now, this manager is starting to bitch because he can't have Sundays off because I do church. Well too fucking bad dude. You took the management position, now deal with it.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande';">So, I told Nichole the other day that I'm looking to replace this job. Looking for a Friday and Saturday gig. Too bad i can't get more hours at the studio or church right now.</span></div>Mic Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14102907489605812249noreply@blogger.com2
