Today’s photo was from a 1 year old’s birthday party. Balloon animals were made… this here is Superstar Dino, sippin on some Brisk with an Orange crazy straw… And here is the short list for TWiRT:
- May 30, 2011: If you’re not following @tomleykis, what are you waiting for?
- If you’re a guy, you should follow Tom Leykis. I grew up listening to this man on talk radio in LA… his show was entertaining if not informative. You may find his material offensive… and if you do… well… sucks to be you.
- June 2, 2011: Bruins vs Canucks had higher ratings in Boston then Celtics vs Lakers did… NHL > NBA all day, every day.
- Game 1 of the 2011 NHL Stanley Cup Finals gained more viewers then any game during the 2010 NBA Finals in Boston. Now the rest of the country needs to catch on to how much better hockey is as a sport then Basketball…
- June 2, 2011: First Richards to Ducks tweet was started by some 18yr old in Texas… at least from what I could search… it’s gotta be total BS.
- Brad Richards was “rumored” to be heading to Anaheim… some idiot posted this without proof. This is why I won’t believe anything posted on Twitter until a reputable news source is cited.
That’s it… Just 3 RTs this week… It was a slow tweet week for me in general. But I’ve reached another milestone… 45k tweets… I really need a new hobby don’t you think?

Today’s photo is from my buddy Erik’s 33rd birthday celebration at Medieval Times: Dinner and Tournament. It was a great time trying to get ourselves kicked out of the place… And now, here is the short list of Retweets for this week:
- May 24, 2011: Who watches playoff hockey at a baseball game… I do. #WatchAContactSport.
- I had a free voucher to go to the Angels vs. A’s game. It was free bobble head night too, so it was win win, but I was missing game 5 of the Canucks vs Sharks. Lucky for me, the bar/beer area of Angel’s stadium happened to have that game on, and with the Angels playing like crap, I decided I had enough and watched hockey at a baseball game. What else would a hockey fan do at a baseball game? Not toss around a beach ball, that’s for damn sure.
- May 24, 2011: @briannecole @camfaller interesting… I’m guessing the “golden rule” applied. #ItsNotGayIfItsInAThreeway- So, I was just commenting on a situation that one brought up about one of their friends sexual escapades. Kids these days… heh.
- May 25, 2011: @kittylair all I need is 2-3 bars… after the 4th bar, I’m incoherent and need assistance walking. #IRatherBeDrinkingRightNow.
- My friend here mentioned her shitty phone service and how she was only getting 2-3 bars of service… I had to chime in with this little joke which she found amusing enough to RT. If you know me, you know I throw zingers like these every so often. Good times.
- May 25, 2011: I get an email notification when someone Retweets me… that could either get kind of cool or out of hand real quick.
- Twitter added this new functionality today where you’d get an email every time someone RT’s you… I’d imagine people who were frequently RT’d getting their inbox flooded with these emails, and disabled this feature so it wouldn’t get out of hand. It also added functionality where you’d get emails when someone @ replied you… I don’t need anymore unnecessary emails filling my inbox TYVM.
- May 28, 2011: Cam Fowler w/the first base hit of the day for the Angels… in the 8th inning.
- And finally, someone had pointed out that Anaheim Duck Cam Fowler looked like Peter Bourjos of the Anaheim Angels. The Angels were no-hit against the Twins for 7 and a third innings before Cam Fowler’s twin (no pun intended) hit the first and only base hit of the game for the Angels, who went on to lose in extra innings 1-0. Weaver pitched 9 solid shut out innings for the Halo’s but got a no decision.
There you have it. I’d like to thank everyone for reading this, all 2 of you… heh.

I promised to try to put a photo from the week on each edition of TWiRTs… this was taken during a sneak preview for the reimagined Star Tours. It was fun… but enough of that, here’s the RTs for the week:
- May 15, 2011: @missimmons Getting My Hair Done
- This was a reply to Power Player Amanda who was wondering if people could still read pager code. The translation was that, here’s the code: 6377176 1774 43212 00173.
- May 16, 2011: Wait… @BigBoyler is on @teamcoco Wednesday! Wish I had tickets. When it airs, I can say “Did you see that ludicrous display last night???”
- “BigBoyler” is Chris O’Dowd’s twitter handle. He is from the hit UK show “The IT Crowd” and the hit film “Bridesmaids”, the quote was from one of my favorite “The IT Crowd” episodes.
- May 16, 2011: “The light is red you bloody scallywag.”
- This was a quote from the cute kid on the show “House”. House and Cuddy were on the way to the hospital, House wanted to run the red light and the kid said this in a pirate like voice. It was cute.
- May 17, 2011: Woot (@ Star Tours w/ 27 others) http://4sq.com/kPzjsY
- I had the opportunity to ride Star Tours, and I was really impressed. Loved what they did to it.
- May 17, 2011: Ha, @mrosenbaum711, nice break dancing… #BreakingIn
- Michael Rosenbaum plays Dutch on the possibly cancelled possible saved tv show “Breaking In”. If it’s cancelled, it will be before its time.
- May 18, 2011: Wilfred has to be one of the stupidest show ideas ever… happy birthday ;-)
- My friend Taffy has got wood for Elijah Wood, who stars in this random show called Wilfred, about some guy who sees a dog for what he actually is… a guy dressed in a dog costume, while everyone else sees well… an actual dog. It was Taffy’s bday this day too, and I thought I’d make this amusing comment about a show that really should be a web series at best.
- May 19, 2011: I was waiting for Catherine Tate to say “Am I boverred? Do I look boverred?” #TheOffice
- And finally, the season finale of my favorite show, The Office. They’re looking for a new manager, and Catherine Tate was a possibility. Her character is good friends with the boss Jo, and although her interview didn’t go so well, she might have the extra edge to take over Michael Scott’s position. Catherine Tate is awesome, and it would be a privilege for Americans to see what she has to offer for fans of “The Office”.
There you have it. A lite week in RTs… which saves me time and effort doing this blog… not that this blog is much effort at all. See ya next week.

This week’s edition of This Week in ReTweets is brought to you by the number 11.
- May 8, 2011: San Jose vs Detroit… it’s like the Alien vs Predators movie tagline… whoever wins… we lose.
- As an Anaheim Duck fan, you really aren’t a fan of conference rivals, and definitely not a fan of the Red Wings… this tagline fit.
- May 10, 2011: @lijeyeshaveit lol… some real Heroes’ fans have deep pockets… or huge credit card bills. IJS©
- This is concerning the auction for Heroes memorabilia. I know quite a few fanatics bidding on random things, like clothing actors wore… it’s intense bidding wars I tell you.
- May 12, 2011: RIP @Lady_Gem, fellow Anaheim Ducks fan and fellow Whovian. Although we had never met, it was always fun to tweet with her.
- I didn’t know how serious her condition was, wish I had the opportunity to meet her. Fun conversations on twitter about our mutual fandoms is what I’ll remember her for. RIP.
- May 12, 2011: @BuckyHermit at least you didn’t say “I thought the Olsen twins were hot before they were famous.”
- This all started with Bucky mentioning Emma Watson. It kinda snowballed from there.
- May 12, 2011: This amused me… http://yfrog.com/h7xj5nkj #RoyalWedding #Cinderella (via @winkiewinks)
- This photo (in case you don’t want to click the link) is a side by side comparison of the Royal Wedding and Cinderella… just click the link, picture, thousand words, you know.
- May 13, 2011: You dun goofed.
- For some reason, that popped into my head last night. I guess it deserved an RT…
- May 13, 2011: @PrincessDuck lol, never a dull moment w/Vicky drunk tweets
- People on twitter need to drink and tweet more. It’s a good thing there’s no penalization for TUI’s (Tweeting Under the Influence).
- May 14, 2011: @LaurenMSL The Doctor broke @tumblr… I’ve decided.
- And finally, Lauren, the tumblr addict (I kidd), was not pleased with tumblr’s douchebaggery tonight. So I suggested it was The Doctor’s fault. She replied “@vegasjeff he better hurry the heck up and fix it!!!!!! #comeonDoctor #youvesavedtheworld #nowfixtumblr!”
There you have it. This Week in ReTweets. Oh, and why the number 11 you ask? Why the fuck not.

No better time then now to blog again. So, 2 days ago, I had a phone interview with Sony Ericsson and an hour later they called me back saying they wanted to do an onsite interview… on Thursday… today! Late notice, but who am I to say no. As a job seeker, got to go where the job is, and this job was smack dab in between San Francisco and San Jose.
I really wasn’t expecting them to call back so soon, or to even invite me for a second interview let alone an onsite interview. So yesterday afternoon, my last minute 6am flight was booked, wake up at 3am, head to ONT, fly to SFO… and waiting for me at baggage claim was a lone drive holding up my name on a big piece of paper. A town car, waiting for me, baller status, right?
So, once again, I go through 2 and a half hours of grilling. 3 different interviewers. Although I felt more comfortable with this set of interviews, I feel that I didn’t perform well enough to be confident that I got the job. It could go either way. With enough training, I’m sure I could do the job no problem. But it seems perhaps my knowledge was lacking. Only time will tell.
From what I’m aware, there are a couple positions open, and I’m in the top 5 of the candidates… I really want this one… almost as much as I wanted the job in Canada. I’m ready for another big move. I know I’ll miss my friends here, but I gotta go where the money is. And since Vegas is never a sure thing, I need to actually earn some cash legitimately.
So now I play the waiting game. Will they hire me or not. I don’t know. I have another position lined up that is not as lucrative as this one, in fact, I’d be getting a bit of a pay cut from my previous position. But I’m really tired of not working believe it or not. It’s not a position I wanted to be in this year. All I can do is wait.

Here’s this exciting edition of This Week in RTs:
- May 1, 2011: U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!
- Bin Laden dead… ‘nuf said.
- May 1, 2011: I’m surprised Twitter hasn’t fail whaled yet.
- Twitter was going a mile a minute when news broke out. w/in a minute or 2 my usual feed of maybe 2 or 3 tweets every 5 or 10 minutes flooded with 100’s of tweets.
- May 1, 2011: “And I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free. And I wont forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.”
- Still on a USA high.
- May 2, 2011: After hearing the news yesterday, I can’t help but hear that voice from Counterstrike say “Counter-Terrorists Win” in my head.
- I played a lot of Counter Strike back in the day…
- May 2, 2011: No offense to the Sacramento Kings, but “Our House, Our Team” Looks like the @AnaheimDucks can use that slogan for at least one more season.
- Official news regarding the relocation of the Sacramento Kings. Glad they didn’t move, because the Honda Center is the home of the Ducks… dammit!
- May 5, 2011: Can’t wait to see Annie’s Boobs tonight… wait… what do you mean it’s not about the monkey? #Community @alisonbrie
- The paintball episode of Community, easily one of my favorite shows currently on the tube. A lot of animated gifs of this episode are floating around… just sayin’.
- May 6, 2011: Rebecca Black is the next shark Glee attempts to jump… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R9gcxe0Vho&feature=youtu.be
- Glee sings ‘Friday’… I can’t wait… so excited, we so excited…
- May 6, 2011: @captaingauthier awesome… Toyman tonight… and hope your Canucks crush the Preds tomorrow.
- Got RT’d by the Toyman himself, who is an adamant ‘Nucks fan. I hate the Preds for knocking out my Ducks, so I default to root for the ‘Nucks. But in reality, I hate every team left in the West.
- May 7, 2011: Media check in. (@ The Disneyland Story presenting Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln) http://4sq.com/ikehtd
- Sweet media set up for us. Box lunched Sandwiches, Pirates themed brownie. But standing around for 4+ hours is always painful the next day. I’m feeling it right now, knees are aching. Premier photos available at http://tinyurl.com/3lsxfpu
- May 7, 2011: In front of the blue ribbon bakery for pirates premier. Crowd is excited.
- My location for this premier was in front of the bakery… actually I think it might have been the Gibson Girl… ice cream is the bomb there.
- May 7, 2011: @Miss_JP35 4. Down the rest of your beer whenever River Song says “Spoilers.”
- Jenn creating her own Doctor Who drinking game. I really believe the Brits’ have dozens of drinking games dedicated to this subject… but I’m sure they don’t need an excuse to drink, they’re all drunks over there…
And that’s that. This week started off fast paced, kinda fizzled in the middle, then picked up at the end. I’m not doing this to gather more RTs, just another way of forcing myself to blog a little bit more. Have a nice week, see ya’ later.

I didn’t inspire many people this time around, so here’s this week’s edition of TWiRTs:
- April 25, 2011: Great job @NHL on picking the finalists for the Norris… Visnovsky not even in the running? Led all D-Men in points and nothing? Fail.
- Just bitter about Lubo not even in the top 3. Obviously, I wasn’t the only one.
- April 27, 2011: Heroes stars Greg Grunberg and Leonard Roberts (Micah’s Dad) sat in front of me during the Adrian Pasdar pilot TV taping I was at…
- Went to a TV taping for a pilot starring Heroes’ Adrian Pasdar, his fellow Heroes were in attendance. It was amusing, but I’ve attended funnier pilots that weren’t picked up. Best of luck to him and the rest of the cast.
- April 27, 2011: 80+ degree weather… perfect for 31¢ scoop night at Baskin Robbins.
- Annual 31 cent scoop night at 31 flavors. Didn’t go, but thought this could be useful info for someone.
- April 29, 2011: Hmm… I don’t see a Fez in the crowd yet… where the hell is The Doctor sitting? #RoyalWedding.
- William and Kate got married. The Doctor was nowhere to be found.
- April 30, 2011: I approve of @Jogasakiburrito.
- It was food truck day and I tried a delicious sushi burrito. Good stuff
And that’s it for this edition of TWiRTs. Maybe I’ll blog before the next edition. No one is reading this anyways.

After a difficult day, I figure I should continue with this little project. So here it is… this week in RTs
- April 17, 2011: Refs saw Carrie Underwood crying and stopped that fight.
- This RT was a direct result of Ducks Ryan Getzlaf fighting Nashville Predators Mike Fisher aka Mr. Carrie Underwood. The refs stopped the fight before any major damage was done.
- April 19, 2011: ALL NEW HELLCATS TONIGHT!!!!
- Yes, I’m a Hellcats fan, but I tweeted this because someone had tweeted their excitement for another show on the same night, so I just wanted to be different.
- April 19, 2011: @TruckSquad would definitely prefer it coming back to City of Industry, only because I live a mile away and would be more inclined to go
- TruckSquad is a twitter account which tweets local Food Trucks. They used to have a weekly collection of food trucks, which ended for some reason. They wanted to know if anyone would like them to return. This was my response.
- April 19, 2011: Amusing myself thinking Jack Coleman turns out to be Rex Perkins & Aly & AJ turn out to be long lost sisters. @78violet #Hellcats #CowBelles
- Got RT’d by some fans of Jack Coleman aka HRG from Heroes…
- April 19, 2011: “I love inside jokes, I’d love to be a part of one someday.” - Michael Scott
- This episode of The Office was aired that night, and it’s one of my favorite Michael Scott quotes.
- April 20, 2011: This amuses me… http://twitpic.com/4na46s
- This is a photo of Dustin Penner’s f up from the Kings Sharks game. Kings had a 4-0 lead and lost in OT 6-5…
- April 20, 2011: 2:00 for being Sutton.
- Sutton, one penalty after another… ‘nuff said.
- April 21, 2011: @kingscast I was gonna ask for the ticket… but I figured you should give it to someone who’d enjoy it… like a Sharks fan.
- The guys at Kingscast had an extra ticket for this game… Kings lost and my point was made.
- April 21, 2011: Was it just me, or did anyone else want an hour long Dundee’s episode… #TheOffice
- The second to the last episode for Steve Carell in The Office. I wanted more. It was a good episode, kinda sad, gonna miss Michael Scott.
- April 22, 2011: Captain Planet… He’s our hero… Gonna take pollution down to zero… He’s our powers magnified, and he’s fighting on the planet’s side…
- Earth Day was Friday April 22. Just felt appropriate to mention Captain Planet
- April 22, 2011: Good job with the anthem archuletta… still voted for cook.
- David Archuletta sung the national anthem at the Ducks game, they lost, and I blame him.
- April 23, 2011: Can I get a count from fellow Ducks fans… how many of you had non-hockey friends say this to you tonight, “It’s only a game.”
- The worst loss in Ducks playoff history. The beginning of the end.
- April 23, 2011: Hide yo kids… hide you wife… apparently didn’t hide his marijuana http://abcn.ws/etWW1e (via @garyanddino)
- Antoine Dodson got arrested for weed.
- April 24, 2011: Well fellow Ducks fans… see ya next season… and FUCK VERTIGO!
- This RT should probably be saved for next weeks edition, but I don’t want to go back to this tweet in a week. Things would be a lot different if the Ducks had their number one goalie the entire season. Questions remain for next season as to the composition of this team. It’s gonna be a long summer.
There you have it. Hope you enjoyed this edition of TWiRTs. Have a good week, see ya soon.

Thought about doing something different with this blog. Since I mainly use Twitter as my form of online expression, and I have ~700 or so followers, I figure why not list the tweets people thought were ReTweet worthy. So here goes nothing. Here’s the first of perhaps many editions of TWiRTs: This Week in ReTweets
- Apr 10, 2011: lol, and if the games are shown on NBC, Chris Hansen can do the intro.
- This was regarding the Anaheim Ducks vs Nashville Predators perhaps being shown on NBC. Title the series: “To Catch a Predator”. I suggested maybe Chris Hansen can show up to intro the series. Got 1 RT “and others”.
- Apr 12, 2011: I can always count on KDOC for something to watch.
- Being that my main source of entertainment comes from whatever local channels provide, I can always count on KDOC to show a rerun of Star Trek: The Next Generation or Hogan’s Heroes at just the right time… to cure that moment of boredom. 1 RT “and others”
- Apr 13, 2011: Guess I should say hi to Hayden… wonder if she’d say hi if she saw me in my DSC shirt…
- This was a thought I had while at The Grove in Los Angeles. Filming that day was the show “Extra” w/Mario Lopez doing an interview with Hayden Panettiere. DSC shirt refers to the Divide Social Club, which is associated to one Milo V… who had been dating Hayden for an undisclosed amount of time… I did not wear my DSC shirt that day if you were wondering. 1 RT and “others”
- Apr 13, 2011: Preds play the most frustrating style of hockey… guess that’s why they were 2nd in the league on goals against.
- Made it to the Honda Center after being in Los Angeles for the day, I watched a ludicrous display of hockey. The Predators play what is called “The Trap”… not fun but effective. Effective enough to shut down my Ducks. 1 RT and “others”
- Apr 13, 2011: Tomorrow… I get to see @IMKristenBell. @CraigyFerg has the best job ever.
- Another day was to be spent at Los Angeles for a TV taping of the Craig Ferguson show. Let’s just say Kristen Bell does not disappoint. 1 RT and “others”
- Apr 14, 2011: Dominic Monaghan got eliminated from American idol… he still has Drive Shaft.
- I don’t watch American Idol, but I was at a friends house that evening and thought the eliminated Idol of the night looked strangely like Dominic, who played Charlie on the hit show “Lost”. The character Charlie was in a band called “Drive Shaft”. 1 RT and “others”
- Apr 15, 2011: Attn Twitter Newbs: If you follow me and you have a private twitter account and I don’t follow back, I can’t see your @ replies to me. IJS©
- This was another reminder to Twitter newbs that I’m not ignoring them if they “@ reply” me. They may follow me, but I can’t see their tweets. So no biggie. Unless they think I’m ignoring them… then this would hopefully clear up that whole fiasco. 1 RT and “others”
- Apr 15, 2011: Headed to Anaheim. Home of the ridiculously named Los Angeles Angels… and the rightfully named Anaheim Ducks. Go #NHLDucks #AnaNsh
- I’m still bitter at the Angels name change. So bitter in fact that I’ve almost totally lost interest in the sport. Guess I’m just an apathetic fan now. 2 RTs and “others”
- Apr 16, 2011: Bobby Ryan is a bigger trending topic then Nicolas Cage? Who knew.
- Bobby Ryan, player for the Anaheim Ducks was suspended for a “stomp” he gave to a player’s foot from the Nashville Predators… mind you, they are wearing hockey skates. Sure a dangerous play, but 2 games is ridiculous. Earlier this day Nicolas Cage was arrested for domestic disturbance. The surprise of this RT is that the RT came from someone unexpected, who isn’t a sports fan… maybe just really likes Nicolas Cage? 1 RT and “others”
- Apr 16, 2011: San Jose Chokes… again http://www.flickr.com/photos/33904413@N02/3484929880/

Since the advent of Twitter, my blogging has basically come to a halt. Which is a shame… not that I had important things to say often, but things I had to say were important to me… I suppose. With twitter, it’s tough to recall tweets from the past due to the quantity of my tweets. Most of my tweets or more online conversations rather than epiphanies.
So, here are random thoughts I’ve had…
- I’m fairly oblivious to my surroundings. If you’ve known me awhile, you probably are aware of this. I won’t notice some things that are blatantly obvious, even if I was staring it in the face. Someone would basically have to yell, “JEFF! PAY F’ING ATTENTION! IT’S RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR NOSE!” or something like that.
- My level of confidence has slowly deteriorated over the years. It’s not like I was a cocky bastard or anything, perhaps the things I used to be confident about, don’t matter much anymore. I probably should focus on regaining that confidence, or gaining confidence on things that are relevant… or something
- I watch too much TV.
- I miss my peeps, you know who you are… for life.
- I want to travel again… yes, I know, I spent a month and a half traveling the US back in September/October, living out of a suitcase, that was so fun, and I want to do it again soon… perhaps in Europe or Australia… where I can crash on my peeps couches, I’m sure you wouldn’t mind… right? But it’s probably not the time… don’t want to kill another chunk of my savings, do I? I’m just glad I have this cushion… this rainy day money…
You know… I always start out a blog motivated. Somewhere at the end I usually get distracted… this is one of those times. At least I blogged again…
