I wish it was a three day weekend after looking at this list! But that is why I can do two tasks at one time!

Well, after a few incidnets I had with my media hard drive on my main PC crashing I have been backing up stuff that I havent watched, and backing up often. It doesnt take long to make a copy so I just start the task and let it copy.

The other day I tried starting up my Media PC to watch some episodes on the TV then I kept seeing that the Hard Drive wasnt booting into Windows, no matter how much I messed aroud with the BIOS settings. It seemed that the Hard Drive had some bad sectors. I wasnt worried because I had backed up everything on it, and I took the Shuttle PC to Professional computer to get it fixed, and it turned out the Hard Drive was bad, but I wasnt worried since it was still under warranty. But backing it up was the best decision I made. Just waiting on the new HD to come in so that I can get my Media PC back and hook up the DVI to HDMI.

At last I had time to take picture of the Sentia, and it is one slick machine. The screen is so crisp, I put it right next to a Sony XBrite screen and it looked just as good. The battery lasts about 3.5 to 4 hours and I was installing lots of software, tinkering with it, and taking breaks watching some anime. They did a better job with the cooling system this time, and its got a huge 160GB hard drive for something that thin. Its around 0.63 inchs thick! I love the rubber grips on the outside of the screen since it makes it easier to grip, and the alien symbol doesnt look like it will light up but it does in a nice way. I took lots of pics just look below. I had it standing on the Xbrand 360 Adjustable Stand, and I have to say that I really like it! Its stable and extremely flexible!

I havent had a chance to go to the gym in a couple of days, so I went sunday night to get a workout in. I felt like I had to go and push myself harder this time.

Started off with the elyptical for 10 mins, then I headed over to the bench press, my goal was to workout my chest, arms, and abs this time. I got a sweat going so it felt
good

I was happy how things were going well. I was able to increase the weights more then before since last week was just a warm up for my body. I was doing a good amount of resistance training as well as getting some stretching in before any excercise. I ended with the second ab machine which uses your weight to do the crunches and you have to use your legs to do the ab crunches as well. It was extremely difficult the first time since I have never used this machine before, and I was using my own natural weight without even adding any weight which is the best way to start. After getting things going it felt good.

After going through all the resistance training for the day I got back on the elyptical machine I got another 10 mins of cardio in before leaving.

I was trying to drive home, but damn it was hard as hell to drive the landcruiser since my arms felt extremely light and I could barely move them. I knew I got a good workout in when I feel like it. The funny part is that I only start feeling the soreness at the end of the next day. Its day two when the real pain hits! Its going to be great! But I needed food, and so I called Kabab Ji and ordered some Kabab and I felt like some Coke.

I got home and took a cold/warm/cold (in that sequence of temperature change) shower just before the delivery got home. Damn I felt good after the shower. Tuesday right after work Im going to hit the gym and get a good leg, and back workout in! I need to make sure this is part of my lifestyle at this point!

Just like last time when I made a chart of my last work week, this time I did with just two things in mind, the normal work hours and the hours I worked! I have to say that Im happy I got things over and done with! This time there is no 24hrs in day bad! hehehe! I has been a hectic week, but now Im just going to have to wait for the evaluation of the presentation hopefully we did good, and others did worse. And the funniest part is one co-worker asked me why I always come to work with a smile, I told him because Im losing my mind and he started laughing!

Whenever I think of a hard drive I think of the matrix! Thats how the Hard Drive and items on it look! Not 0s and 1s! Its like this and if you need to then you can stop time and stop bullets in it! But that aside I know Im a person that is addicted to space! I hate coming close to running out of space and I have been going so crazy with torrents the last couple of years, and backing up like crazy that I have kept increasing the space I have constantly again and again!

At this point the of space I have in total is:

4494 GB

This is between three PCs (1 Desktop, 1 Server and  1 Media PC), and Two Laptops (New one, and work laptop). And this is also including all the External Storage attached to the PCs, and the Network Area Storage! You can never have enough space! I now have duplicates of photos, duplicates of videos, duplicates of music, duplicates of documents! Backup for the Backup! After last time Im paranoid as hell about an HD going south, so redundancy is the solution! And especially now a days $/GB is so cheap!

After all this hectic time at work, getting things ready. I just have one major presentation later in the afternoon and then Im finished with the hectic schedule. After that its back to normal hours. Then I get to breath a little. I’ve reached the point where Im not worried at all, I just want to get it over with. Even when Im driving from work on friday night Im just happy the roads were empty so that I could take it easy, put the windows down and enjoy the drive home with some nice music in the background. I cant wait until I get some time to ride, and I will hit the gym sunday night to burn off the shenanigans night of splurging! hehe!

Since I recieved my last shipment about two weeks ago now, I got another box with it which has about 2 TV series, 10 anime, and one Gigabit wireless router. It has been on hold at customs for more then two weeks and the shipping company told me they wont see it before one month. So it has been two weeks now and Im entering the third week. This is making me hate buying online at this point! Im going to go nuts at this rate, the most annoying part is that they are holding something that doesnt belong to them and they are a bunch of idiots.

A person that I know in shipping told me that they would “destroy” any items they deem to be illegal in Kuwait. And how do they decide legality well thats another matter on its own. Before this whole thing people were just happy getting DVDs and watching them, but at this point they aggravating people’s dailiy lives for no reason.

They should use an X-Ray machine and if there are any drugs then stop it, other then that they should let it through period. From a few different people I heard that this is happening to USWS, and Aramex. If you order from Amazon and have them ship directly DHL it wont be stopped. I know two people who did that and they said the cost of shipping is worth their piece of mind. At this point Im going out of my mind. My next big order will be going through DHL directly to Kuwait.

I went to my cousins house last night after work! I havent seen the guy in a while, and I still give his Kids their eideeya and I adore his kids! I dont care that it isnt eid Im still going to give it to them! I was on the phone with someone parked in his drive way then my car started shaking violently then I found see this tall guy shaking the side of my car while I was on the phone! It was quite entertaining really!

I got out said hello to the guy and the first thing we both do is raid his fridge! I was disappointed usually he has alot of goodies in and around the fridge! But we got bottled cook out of storage and I put it directly in the freezer to get cold quick while we munch on whatever he had left. The night before I only managed to burn one dvd with two episodes of Heroes! I’ve been saving up all the episodes of Prison Break, Heroes, The Nine, Studio 60, The Class, and Stargate Atlantis because me and him usually sit down and watching all the episodes one go! And if we dont have something to watch then we go nuts! hehehe! Even though I had 6 episodes of Heroes I didnt have enough time to burn them.

The one thing I have to say about Heroes is this, if you like Smallville then you’ll like Heroes! I honestly loved the show and that its about normal people finding out different things about themselves! I dont want to give away the story but I have to say that its worth watching! The best part is getting high quality download and putting it up on an HD projector with 140″ screen. Looks great and the projector was crisp, now Im happy I downloaded the HD versions of tv episodes even though they are huge.

So we watched the first two episodes of Heroes and we really enjoyed it, then we had the driver pick-up some Krispy Kreme doughnuts for us. We finished watching that, and then we decided to watch the last episode of season 4 of Superman since I didnt have a chance to watch a while back, even though my cousin watched it and started episodes 1-4 of season 5. I told him to wait while I catch up. I couldnt believe what happened in the last episode so I had to watch episode one of season five, and during all that I stuffed my self with some Shrimp Chow Mien, and then later on we ate about three regular Krispy Kreme doughnuts each. It hit the spot, and I felt like going to the gym at night if it wasnt so late, and I had work next morning! I have to finish watching season 5 of superman! It was crazy!

After getting into work at 9 am, the weather made me hate going into work even more! Im honestly just happy getting through all this! Just a couple more days of this and I will be through it inshalla! But I have to say this! I WANT TO BE ON MY BIKE!

On my way to work around 8:30am, with the amazingly empty roads, I saw 5 bikes! 2 Harleys, 1 Ducati 999, 1 BMW R1200 , and 1 Yamaha R1! They looked liked they were the happiest people in the world! And I wanted to join that feeling! The weather is perfect outside! 31 Degrees, and empty roads!

Please people if you read this then get off your PC, Mac, or Linux Box and go out! Be outside! Do something outside! Read a book in the garden, cruise anywhere with some music! Go anywhere! Its just so nice outside that I would want to be outside, but again Im stuck at work until 5 pm today! I just hope everyone takes full advantage of this and has a fantastic day! No matter what the hell is wrong the weather is too damn good not to make you feel like having a good day!
