This is vitamin/health boost or whatever they call it, it is an amazing product. I honestly tried it a couple of times over the past year and a half, it does exactly what it says it will do. Whenever a lot of people get sick at work or at home I take one tablet at the beginning of the day and one at the end of the night, sometimes one mid-day if I’m feeling a little sick.

I tend to be stubborn and not go to the doctor until I am incapacitated, but with Airborne it helps your system so you don’t catch the cold or flu from somebody close by. I felt my nose get a bit stuffy last night, and when I woke up early morning to go riding I felt that I might be catching a cold so I took one before riding, and another one after riding. I hope that it kicks in and I don’t catch a cold and get back to normal. If you haven’t tried its worth trying, especially when everyone at home or at work catchs the cold.

This week felt like a damn long week, I think because it was a bit cloudy all week so itwas a bit gloomy. Waking up in the morning for work has been hell, I wanted to sleep in every time thinking it was too early but I just get up and go.

This weekend I want to ride as usual, but I also want to watch a lot of the TV shows that I haven’t caught up with. I need to put Anime on pause for bit, with anime its addictive, when things get interesting its hard to stop watching and there is a lot of shows that I am currently watching. But now I want to get started with my shows again, the list is simple:

• Prison Break Season 2
• Gossip Girl
• Chuck
• Heroes
• 30 Rock

That involves staying home for most of the weekend, if its sunny I’m going out but if it isn’t then I’m staying home.

I have done the run through with all the main embassies for my passport, and I have now updated my passport with all the Visas.

• British Visa (Supposedly I’m British, so its for the term of my Passport)
• Schengen Visa (3 Years)
• US Visa (10 Years, after a bump or two)

I sorted out my British situation so now I can enter without any issues, it will be interesting to enter the first time. The Schengen Visa wasn’t an issue at all. The US Visa was a bit of worry since they said I had some violations on my record which were raising flags with them but there wasn’t a specific reason, but the lady interviewing me was very cooperative and very nice. If you are going for the US Visa take something to read, I made it there by 7:00 am and I left around 10:00 am which isn’t considered bad.

You know when you have a full day, and you have lots of things on your mind to take care of from day to day, not including all the meetings and schedules. I keep forgetting a few things even when I write it down, I forget sometimes that I have a meeting at these specific days so that I don’t book it twice. Its pure insanity sometimes, but sometimes things manage to stay organized.

I want to install a few things on my machines, and I’m slowly organizing all the files I have between all the drives which is a lot better now.

I ordered my new A/V Receiver which is now stuck in customs which is to be expected.

I am also waiting for some new bike parts in the shipment, which is something to look forward.

I have the sudden urge to watch family guy and enjoy Peter’s Humor.

These were all thoughts that I’m having at the end of the day, a lot to do and very little time.

 

This is has been a very full weekend with the family and some friends, I got a lot done but I still feel like I didn’t have enough time to do all that I want and that is always going to be the case.

I managed to get a lot done and go out to do a few fun things. The main thing in my case was that I wanted to organize the files that I had, I have also added restricted MAC List to all my Routers because I have seen that random people have been joining my wireless randomly and I was messing with them when they were connected.

I watched copious amounts of anime and I still needed more time to watch more since things are getting interesting.

Riding this weekend was a lot of fun, and the cold weather has been perfect for riding. I wish we had a track in Kuwait to enjoy ourselves even more.

Vista has been a very interesting development for the past year, I have been using since its release and there are some features that I like and some that I don’t like. The point of Vista is to add more features, and make the user’s experience a easier and smoother with this OS. As usual they have managed to mess that up as well, the one thing I tend to do on my network is share resources, files, and I do a lot of things across the network.

Vista PCs have no issue communicating to each other, but if any other type of PC (XP, Linux, Mac) would like to Access these folders and resources they are automatically denied access. I have shared these files, given access rights to “Everyone” which is the user default in the share permissions. I have gone back and forth with this for a few days now. At first I would just dump the Data from the Vista Machine to the other machines it was a one way interaction, but at one point I wanted to stream some movies but it wouldn’t let me and so that was the last straw. I have spent hours trying to mess with the settings and making adjustments to network and I have faced failure at every turn.

I have looked at multiple forums and lots of people face the same issue, simply XP can’t access Vista files. Microsoft has managed to “change” the way file sharing works and caused it to be hell for many users. What I have found out to be interesting, is that the folder path isn’t the same as the one you share it with. There are two types of sharing, share folders and public folders, anyone can access the public folders but I don’t want to move a full hard drive to the public foler, thats just impractical.

Folder path:
D:/MyStuff

Real Path:
D:/ ….VISTA-Biz/MyStuff

This isn’t the same path, so something is beind done wrong, and I want to beat the people at Microsoft with a stick. I really like Vista with all its bangs and whistles but this one thing has driven me nuts, and I will find a soltuion for it.

I haven’t had a fun and full day like this in a while, I was feeling tired but I was really happy so I kept going. One funny thing that I did that felt good was to use a trimmer to remove the scruffiness of my beard/goatee, now its basically just a dark area and it felt a lot better. I wish everyday was like this, and of course some anime was inserted in different parts throughout the day.

I have had the urge for the past couple of weeks to shave my beard/goatee off completely. I want to get that clean feeling without having to feel like somethings itches and I have to scratch it. Thats the annoying feeling when things start to get ridiculous with the beard. The fact of the matter is that I know it will have some sort of affect when dealing with work and I don’t feel like dealing with something like that, so I’m delaying the inevitable. I might get a clean up shave to get things tidied up but I want to shave everything off at some point, but when.

 

I was dead tired the other day from work so as soon as I got home I had to take a nap. It turned out to be a deep two and a bit hour nap from 6:45 pm to 9:10 pm. I had something I had to do that night so I ran out to make sure I got it done, there are some plans in the works for a long road trip with some guys and I forgot the appointment.

I got home around 10:45 pm thinking I had  a lot of time to go to sleep, I got some shawarmas to eat before sleeping. I thought I would fall asleep by 1:00 am or the latest 2:00 am and I would be fine. Then I looked up at the clock it was 2:30 am, then 3:10 am, I still didn’t sleep, so I watched some anime which took 24 minutes in total and tried sleeping again, then I looked up at the clock and it was 4:35 am.

I came to the realization that there is no way I am going to fall asleep at this point. I got up and started working on the randomest of things. I backed-up my movies, organized some files, checked some online bills, I ordered a few things from Amazon.co.uk, and I watched a few shows. I knew that I had to charge into work to finish as much as possible so that I don’t run out of energy too early, and I manage to get a lot done. I was honestly surprised I was doing pretty good throughout the day and their were times I forgot that Iwas up for 36 hours but it got to me after a while and I started having that annoying headache. I managed to stay at work for about 9 hours before heading home, I got a lot done but their were times where I was a bit short with people because my fuse was short from lack of sleep, it was just that my answers were very blunt so I found that funny. Then going home and taking a 2 hour nap helped me get through the night to go to sleep early.

This was one hell of an event, about 16 guys came from the US for my friend’s wedding in Egypt. I was the only guy traveling from Kuwait, and I knew it was going to be one hell of day. I was with the groom most of the day and he was relaxing, we were around the hotel most of the day. I realized early in the morning that the hotel lost my tie, but I remembered wear they sell nice ties so I want to the First Mall next to the old Four Seasons.

The wedding was at the Four Seasons Nile which is where I was staying. My friend and I were taking our time, and I knew it would only take me at most 15 minutes to get ready. Getting all the guys to be there on time is another subject. The setting was nice, but the atmosphere was better since everyone was very happy and excitement was in the air.

Then the groom entered and we were cheering for him, I haven’t seen that guy this happy in a while! Its just a good feeling seeing your friend really happy, and there were dancers in front of him so I wanted to see where he was looking. I was laughing so hard most of the night, and we just kept on going until everybody left for the night. It was a fantastic night with a lot of good friends, I didn’t stay still for most of the time I was there.
