Happy New Year!

Hope you had a great new years!

I spent mine getting some street cred.  I mean catching some air and landing on myself.

Oh and Elise says Hi.

My friend sent me a link about this 25 year old kid who just sold mint.com for $170 million to Intuit.

I gotta find that inner entrepreneur and start making things happen!

What would you say to the Dalai Lama if he was serving you lunch?  What an incredible picture.  This was taken of him volunteering in San Francisco.

He’s been so intriguing to me for a long time.  His life from being chosen as the next Dalai Lama as a child to escaping China’s communist regime and being exiled from his home in Tibet is so interesting.  Plus his face and expressions totally reminds me of my late grandpa.  Here’s a quote I found from him:

I myself feel, and also tell other Buddhists that the question of Nirvana will come later.
There is not much hurry.
If in day to day life you lead a good life, honesty, with love, with compassion, with less selfishness, then automatically it will lead to Nirvana.

I think that quote applies to all religions… or at least it should!

Check out more photos like the one above @ TIME’s The Year in Pictures 2009.  There’s a lot of good ones!

Happy Birthday

So I used to be a very happy Netflix customer until I got a Blu-Ray player at home.  Netflix has an additional charge for Blu-Ray DVDs, so I signed up with Blockbuster because Blu-Ray is free.

So since I’ve signed up with Blockbuster, I’ve been sent 3 DVDs that weren’t even in my queue and I’ve been notified of returning 2 DVDs that I didn’t return (or didn’t even receive to begin with.)

It’s pretty annoying because every time it happens I get so confused trying to find out if I missed out on a good DVD because of it.

Today it said that I returned Dirty Harry.  I never even got it!  Today I also received Two and a Half Men Season 3 disc 4 – which I didn’t order and doesn’t even show up on the website as me having it.  What the heck!!!  Anybody want a free DVD?

How does it go from freezing and rainy… to 90 degrees and sunny?
