Smile - While camping we found someone with the same camper we have, and discovered that our mystery camper is a Serro Scotty. Which came in 1 of 3 sizes and everyone is different by design. They built them with what they had on hand. So some have five windows, some have three; some have bathrooms, some have a closest. Ours is a 60 or 61 Front Kitchen, and they have a modern version. So now we know what to look into and we can actually find replacement parts!

Ticked - Mouth issue means I have to go to the dentist this week... The dentist is fine, its the hygienist I always have a problem with.

Pretty cool. Sounds like quite the project. Just booked our last camping trip of this coming summer. 2nd to last week in Aug we'll be camping up against a sand dune about 200 yards from Lake Michigan.

Added to queue. Buying DVD's doesn't make much fiscal sense these days.

I'll drop dollar on a few Blu-Rays/criterion/collections, but buying dvd's just takes up space.



*bought BEVERLY HILLS COP special edition for two buckaroos. Not bad.

I only buy DVDs if it's a season set of some TV show that's not on Blu-Ray, ie, most every TV show in a 4:3 format.

The pawn shops in Charlotte sell DVD movies for $1 and Blu-Ray movies for $4 - $5. Even with those prices, however, I find it hard to justify buying them anymore. Netflix Streaming and Hulu+ satisfy most of my entertainment needs, although I will pick up the occassional movie (such as Samurai Cop...which, like Troll 2, The Room, Showgirls, Birdemic, The Miami Connection, etc. - completely merits repeat viewings). Today, I mostly pick up DVD movies for my children so that we have something to put on when we take long road trips. (I actually picked up The Terror of Mechagodzilla this morning from a local shop. I am confiden they will love it.)

That's where I am at as well. But some movies are must haves for me. BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, BATMAN (1985, the best years of movies ever), PRINCESS BRIDE, ROBOCOP, PREDATOR, ALIEN/S, AIRPLANE, etc...some movies I gotta have available 24/7.

Smile: I love what I do for a living, but have been aggressively been seeking a job with a title of "executive" in it. If I'm not challenging myself, I'm not being myself.

I know, "blah blah blah", but the fact of the matter is that going thru the motions isn't good enough for me. I like hundreds of irons in the fire and expectations that are near ludicrous. My boss knows this, and my boss's boss knows this. Aside my sill rants and shenanigans on this forum, the friends I've met here know me to be fairly blunt, honest, engaging, and a fairly smart dude. I like to call the shots, and hopefully that's what I'm getting myself into.

Tomorrow I have two interviews for two executive positions. The last thing I am is nervous. First and foremost I am excited beyond belief almost perplexed, as if the tooth fairy was real and paid a few hundred K per molar. Maybe nothing will come of this, maybe something will. But there it is. I get a chance.

That's what makes me smile from ear to ear; I get a chance. I'll be the first one to admit that I'm in good shape, peculiarly handsome, and well spoken, but very rarely does someone give me a chance, Just being able to say "You give me a chance, I promise I won't disappoint you" is better than getting Castle GraySkull and Snake Mountain on Christmas. I will shine like I have never shone before tomorrow, and although I don't wish you guys to wish me luck, I would appreciate you guys to tell me to use the force tomorrow. And if things work in my favor, I'll contribute to the next charity auction like never before.
