Here's To You, 2009

Here it is, the top five:

5) I fixed my computer. It's clean! Look at it yourself:



I love it when it looks like this. If you ever need to reformat Windows XP, I can try to help.

4) As Inauguration Day approaches (January 20, 2009), it has been interesting how many Obama "stuff" has been available. Those colored coins of the President-Elect make me laugh! He's not yet president, we don't even know if he's going to be a great president (Considering how things are in the country and in the world, he better be!), he's not even dead, and he has an uncirculated coin printed over actual currency. There's even a collectible plate that I saw at Wallgreens and on a commercial. Yes, I will sit by my fireplace looking at my commemorative plate hung on my mantle and contemplating a leader who hasn't led yet. I think everyone is jumping the gun here.

The other thing that's really funny is how many songs are out there in honor of President-Elect Obama. Also, so far many of these songs are from famous rap and R&B singers. I guess they're still basking in the moment that there is now a Black President in the White House.

Otherwise, I wish I was there at Washington on that day! It would be great to just go to Washington and sightsee. Maybe that can be a future trip?

3) I have a video based interview for US Customs on Tuesday. Prayers appreciated! It's interesting because instead of asking the interviewee what they would do in certain situations, they actually display the situation in a video and you have to respond as if you were in that situation. They will also not only record your responses, but they also videotape your expressions and behaviors. What an interesting way to do an interview.

2) The one of many things that keep reminding me of my fellow Loggers and those at Interfaith at my parish is the new bishop of the Diocese of Sacramento. The last bishop, William Weigand, has now retired and has transfered his powers to the coadjutor bishop, Jaime Soto. Yes, you have read that right. Remember him? For the last three years I have heard his name at an Orange County church (Especially from FJF.). During MOTP 2006, he presided over Mass and I have met him in person (and Adrian drove his car to the structures). It's interesting that I hear his name at my parish and there's this small click in my mind about Irvine.

1) 2009 has arrived. I don't do resolutions since they tend to FAIL! Rather I have goals. There's really only one goal...get a job! That's it. If I do this, 2009 will be great.

Also, I will be praying for those that are still unemployed or undecided for the future. Tough times are occuring right now, but there is definitely something hopeful later on.

Random thoughts, yes, but I wanted to blog something for the New Year.

Christmas is over! Back to work.

That is all.
