Damn. I don’t know why I am even posting this except that most of you will see it in the morning and blow that first cup of coffee. hehe.

This looks to be pretty cool. The Mixed Martial Arts League Total Fighting Alliance is sponsoring the broadcast of TFA’s War on the Shore over the Internet for free. It’s this Saturday from 6pm to 9pm Pacific time and is being held at the Santa Monica Civic Center. You can Visit TFA’s Official Web site Here!

Anyone with a computer and an Internet connection (preferably broadband obviously) can watch, you just have to go Download the FREE video Player! You can also watch pre-match interviews right now until the broadcast.

NFT (Network Foundation Technologies) is partnering with the Mixed Martial Arts League to bring this to fight fans everywhere. They are starting to become a very big player in the realm of broadcasting large, live events to Internet audiences world-wide and this promises to be a pretty big show. I like watching martial arts matches much more than any sport and this should be a good one.

I stole the links from their site. Hopefully I won’t be stuck at work Saturday night, but chances are I am going to miss this one.

This is the weekend. Tons of NASCAR fans are starting to converge on the raceway in Alabama. I started seeing mobile homes and trailers headed that way on Monday morning and the number has been increasing steadily all week. By tomorrow morning the influx will be in full flow and of course I will be getting hammered at work. Not drunk unfortunately, just hammered with business. It won’t slow down until Monday and if the race is rained out and they have to run on Monday then I will stay busy until Tuesday.

Even though it meant a farther drive, that is one of the things I didn’t miss about being off of I-20. Race weekend is almost as busy as Christmas for me at work, perhaps busier since it lasts longer.

Tomorrow I will cook most of the morning, do a waffle party for Pete’s class from 2-3PM, then have a meeting from 3-6, and have to go back and cook from 6-?. The question mark means I don’t have a fricking clue when I will get out of there. I really just don’t have enough help to get through the weekend unfortunately, at least not cooks.

I’m sure I will get a bit of time at home between now and Monday and will get online for awhile when I wake up and before I go to bed. All of my associates are excited because it means more money for them, but I would be completely OK with not doing any business this weekend.

I didn’t post quite as much yesterday as I normally would for a day off, I was extremely busy most of the day. I did spend the greater part of the morning doing the ads and whatnot, and managed a couple of posts, as well as trying to get my template fixed.

I spent a couple of hours in the yard as well. I planted several more Elephant Ear bulbs, a Dwarf Spruce, Confederate Jasmine, a Mandeville (sp?) Vine, four more bougainvillea and a couple of small trellis in the front, three hostas, a coffee plant, and I think that’s it. I had to clean the pond pump as well. That pump is pretty darn strong and the filter pretty small, so I end up having to clean it every couple of days or it just won’t let any water get through. I am considering hiding a large Home Depot bucket over there somehow, and submerging the pump in that to pull water out of the pond so that I don’t have to fool with getting down in the pond to clean the filter. I will have to come up with a decent plan before I go to fooling with that stuff though.

Normally on Thursday’s I have meetings, but I think that my division manager is having it tomorrow which is pretty damed stupid. This is race weekend and we are going to be extremely busy probably starting today as people travel to Talladega. I also have to do a waffle party for one of the local schools tomorrow afternoon as well.

As you can see, I have most of the template finished and working correctly. This afternoon when I get home I will mess with the fonts and get those right.
