My first blog entry 071904

So, this is the first entry. I guess I should tell a little about myself. I'm a single, 30 year old, African-American male; I was born and raised in Alexandria, Va and I currently work for a company that conducts research on fragrances and flavors in Washington, DC. I'm a huge movie fan; my netflix rental queue is nearly 500 deep. Everyone must see "Spidey 2"!!! Great film! I'm looking forward to "the Bourne Supremacy" and "Catwoman"...on DVD...on mute...w/the lights down low...candles...wine...Barry White. ..I love Tivo! Unfortunately, I watch way too much TV, TiVo doesn't help any. Favorite shows: "the Simpsons", "Arrested Development", "Six Feet Under", "Everybody Loves Raymond", "Family Business" and "King of the Hill". Radio: "Fresh Air w/Terry Gross", "The Kodjo Namdi Show" and "This American Life w/Ira Glass". I'm an active Toastmaster (an orator) who also enjoys reading, writing short stories, surfing the web, playing video games and socializing w/my friends.

Thanks for visiting.

SmarTrip Users Can Now Reload at CVS & Giant

Excellent! Sent to you by tony via Google Reader: SmarTrip Users Can Now Reload at CVS & Giant via DCist by Sommer Mathis on 6/16/09 Metro formally announced today that SmarTrip users can add value to their cards at select CVS and Giant Food stores . Last year, WMATA made SmarTrip cards more widely available for sale at CVS and Giant , but now customers can also choose to add money to their cards at both chains while they check out. Many CVS stores actually began offering customers the ability to reload their SmarTrip cards back in April, while Giant has only started to test the sales devices at eight area stores. The grocer will likely add 42 more locations later this summer. Not every CVS or Giant has the new SmarTrip reload technology, but a lot of them do. Consult the list of participating stores to find the one closest to you. The change means that SmarTrip users need no longer necessarily wait in line to access Metro's machines insi...

Ma'am I'm not a hero, I'm just doing my job!

I wrote this in response to a friend who posted a blog entry about heroes a few days ago: When I was a young boy, my aunt would let me and my sister go to 7-Eleven; it was one of the few areas we were allowed to go by ourselves. Generally, I was there for a Slurpee, but once a week, something magical would happen: the 7-Eleven would receive new comics!!! Oh joy! New comics! Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Hulk, Captain America, the X-Men and my favorite, Spider-Man. Yes, for the longest, he's been one of my favorites to read and even though I don't buy comics anymore (are you kidding me, look at the price tag?!?) I still casually read it when I'm in my favorite bookstore and occasional, I'll buy graphic novels. He's been my favorite for several main reasons: 1-He's like me. Oh sure, he was a teenager by the time I started reading but I understood what it was like to have a good day at school but a bad day at home. Or a good day at home, a ...

That Darn El Gato!

Still trying to get the hang of "phoning it in" to blogger.com. This is one of my roommate's cats. Like all cats, he likes to get into things, stand behind you when you're doing something important and then take a nap. Ain't he precious? Saw the preview for this movie; I was skeptical about it when I heard that they were making another one, but after the preview, I'm gonna plunk down 10 bills for this one. And of course, there's Beyonce... Good night everybody! http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/thepinkpanther/index.html
