Weekly Cool Links #15 – Protecting Marriage by Banning Divorce?

DanGarion — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 16:06:24 +0000

Well another two weeks have passed by and it’s once again time for my weekly cool links! But first what’s happening in my life. Last Saturday I had some friends come over and we watched the UCLA, Notre Dame, and USC games, let’s just say when the day was done and USC ended up beating Ohio State my day was complete. Besides that, I went to the dentist for the first time in over 10 years (a number of different reasons why I didn’t go for so long) and fortunately for me I didn’t have any major issues with my teeth, but I did have to come in a second time for extra cleaning. We sent to the Orange International Street Fair on the Sunday before Labor Day, I have pictures from our fun, and hopefully I’ll get those posted soon. We are planning a trip to Ireland next year, probably some time around May, and should be purchasing our tickets any day now. That’s about it here, so now on to the links.

Politics / Funny
2010 CA Protection of Marriage Act, someone has decided to take protecting marriage one step further by trying to get a bill on the ballot to ban marriage. Sure it’s to poke at the Prop 8 people, but honestly, divorce ruins marriage and hurts more children then any gay marriage ever would.

New Car (again), Etc.

DanGarion — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 17:52:04 +0000

So for those that haven’t heard we got a new car. I don’t have any great pictures to show of it yet, I’ll take some this weekend to show it off. We got a 2008 Infiniti G35 Journey Sedan Sport (that’s a mouthful!). The car is just amazing, talk about power, 0-60 in 5.4 seconds, 306 HP, V6 with RWD. I absolutely love the car. In addition to all the power it’s great inside, power leather seats, navigation, XM radio, it even has a back up camera! We are really enjoying it.

In addition to that I was able to get Apple to replace my iPhone due to various issues I was having with it crashing, hopefully this will resolve those issues, so far so good! Kelly has to take a trip up to San Francisco so she will be gone Thursday night till Friday night, I’ll miss her.

Other then that most everything else is good. We went to Oak Glen two weekends ago with all my family (parents, sister, brother in law and kids) and picked apples. We brought them home and Kelly cooked an apple pie, while I BBQ’d for everyone. It was nice all hanging out, I’m hoping we can start doing that more often on my side of the family. I did something to my left shoulder on Sunday morning and it’s been very painful when I extend it forward and do other various movements with it, so I’ve had to pull up lame on softball for awhile. If it still feels the same next week I’ll set up a doctors appointment to get it looked at; but as it is right now, I can’t swing a softball bat.

Work is good, very busy lately, but busy is a good thing, especially in this economy! My cousin Tim is getting married this weekend, I’m really happy for him! Next weekend we are going to see The Who!

So not many of you know this, when I was a teenager I had a real bad ingrown toenail that ended up having to be resolved by the doctor extracting the entire nail. It was not a pleasant experience. Well after they did that they told me I had a 25% chance the nail would grow back. Of course being on the wrong side of luck it ended up growing back. I never went back to the doctor’s since it was a painful experience. I just dealt with the nail, it wasn’t that much of a issue for years… Fast forward to about 2 years ago when I was cutting back the nail (since it wasn’t normal I didn’t have to that often) and I ended up cutting it too deep, causing my toe to bleed and getting the nail to start ingrowing again. the past 2 years I’ve taken care of it, trying to keep it from getting infected and when I had to cut it, keeping it very clean to prevent major problems. But as I knew it was just going to get worse and worse, and with the prodding from Kelly to get it taken care of I went to the doctors last Monday to have them resolve the problem. Amazingly it didn’t hurt at all this time, the nail extraction took probably 15 minutes and I was on my way. I’ve now been soaking it and keeping it clean as the toe heals. Hopefully the nail won’t grow back this time and I can lead a normal nailess big toe life.

Other then that not much has been going on. We went for a drive yesterday around LA, that was fun. Not really anything going on just working a lot. I’ve been in Garden Grove primarily for the past 2 months, and look to be there for the month coming up as well. I’ve been to my office in Anaheim a total of about 3 times in the past 3 months. Kelly and I are planning to take a vacation in April once things settle down at my work. Probably up the coast to San Francisco and Monterrey.
