At least that is what we have always been taught. And for a while I was really fighting against that idea. Not just because I did not think we could ever afford it, the idea of dealing with a house just was not something I wanted. But as time has gone on I realized that we really did need a home. I was done with dealing with landlords, HOA's and the small apartment life. But the next big issue was the cost; here in the Bay area houses are insanely expensive. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">But we finally pulled the trigger and decided we had to, our family just did not fit into apartment life anymore. So we started looking, but we were not willing to paying a million plus for a shack....and I mean that literally! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The true eye opener was when they finished updating the condos located right behind us and we went to the open house. They wanted 1.2 million! This is a 1,430 square foot apartment, one parking spot, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and nothing more than a paved patio backyard.</div><div style="text-align: left;">And let us not forget the neighborhood! This is not a million dollar area, let me just list the things I have seen in this lovely area:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>People drink beer on the corners just about every day</li><li>Homeless people making camp in your front yard, and I mean this guy had a mattress, a pickle jar for a potty and a tent!</li><li>People coming onto your property to dig through your recycling</li><li>Gang activity, I am talking real gang shit: tags, drug deals and theft</li><li>Loud parties every weekend, I am not talking about little parties I am talking about live music blasting to all hours of the night parties</li><li>Questionable people at all times of the day and night walking up and down the street</li></ul>And this is just a few of the things to look forward to! And not to mention this place has an HOA, I would rather pour gas down my pants and light it than ever deal with another HOA! I would also like to mention that while living in this wonderful million dollar area we had the Swat team come crashing into our place thanks to a wanted fugitive hiding out in our area, yep that sounds like a million dollar neighborhood to me!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So with this in mind we started looking....East ward. Starting in San Jose and finally ending in Modesto. I am not looking to give out my home address but in the end we found a home way way out in the land of farms and rodeos...Modesto Ca.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">And not looking to brag but we got twice the amount of home for less than half the price of that million dollar neighborhood in San Jose. 5 bedrooms, three card garage, three full bathrooms and a god damn pool! Yeah, SJ you can eat a dick for your million dollar bullshit you are calling a home HA!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Yes it is one hell of a commute but it was worth it, for what we go in a home I will deal with the drive for work. And what is funny is the the distance for work got longer but not really the time. It would take me one to two hours to get home from work living in SJ (37 miles)and now living farther away (57 miles) the commute is about the same! Less stop and go traffic but still traffic, and honestly I do not mind the drive and it is a price I am willing to pay for what we got in return.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">And the area we moved into is probably one of the best we could have hoped for: The high school is right down the street, we live a block away from a strip mall that has everything from Thai food, an axe throwing place to a food store! Our neighborhood is also a huge step up from our original, we have been here two years and we have had none of the issues we used to have!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This house needed work (which I am going to post about in the near future of all the work we have done so far). We had it inspected and found no deal breaking issues, it was build in the late 90's and was in need of some serious updating but other than that it was solid. So far we have updated two bathrooms, painted and fixed the exterior, changed one bedroom into an office, put in a new pool pump, cleaned out the dryer vent (this one was a huge socker) removed alllllll the upstairs carpeting that went all the way into the master bathroom.....yes there was carpeting in the bathroom! We have painted most of the interior but we have more painting to do, and we have many more plans in fixing our home. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This is will be a never ending project and honestly I am cool with that, and these projects are part of why I have decided to start blogging again. I really wish I had bought a house in my younger stronger back days, but no day like the present to better oneself and the family. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Our family story is a never ending, changing and moving entity. Welcome to my world </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><img alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=16NLDvpYyYhbZsiTUF5v0a5C4QnuYKwrj" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=16NLDvpYyYhbZsiTUF5v0a5C4QnuYKwrj" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; font-size: 12pt; height: auto; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: auto;" /></div></div><div style="text-align: left;">(est; 2/2021)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>honkeiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03517190745892738872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12450782.post-46247529598963399712023-02-20T19:41:00.017-05:002023-02-26T17:02:40.505-05:00Blogging From My PhoneJust another day at work because I did not win the lottery!<div><br /><div>I downloaded the mobile app to use the blog from my phone to see if that would help me get back into the swing of things. Edit: It seems that if I want to blog from my phone I am going to have to pay money, maybe....we shall see....</div><div><br /></div><div>I took down my website because I was spending money on something I was not putting any time into. Maybe someday I will go back and give that a whirl again, but for the time being I am just going to try and blog again.</div><div><br /></div><div>The question of what do I want to do with my blog had been on my mind, everyone that has any form of social media presence has a purpose and a direction, where as with me…I am all over the place. And to be honest, that is how I like it. I do not want to be a product review blog, home improvement, a fitness guru or a travel blog. I am just going to try it all and see what happens. </div><div><br /></div><div>I am disappointed in myself for not keeping this up through the years and letting this place collect so much dust. </div><div><br /></div><div>I have tried the reboot and failed, tried the website and failed so this time I am just going to pick up where I am and move on.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, where am I? I am 9 years at my current job, two years in a new home, 22 years married, one cat, one dog, bowling in a beer league (9 pins counts as a strike) and as of recent I am on meds for gout. </div><div>I am over weight and in the process of trying to get healthier. I have reached a point where I am no longer comfortable and I need to hold myself accountable!</div><div><br /></div><div>But do I want this to be my weight loss journal….no…it will just be a part of the whole chaotic experience.</div><div><br /></div><div>I have so much I can put into this place, and because I am all over the place I am just going to start posting. I will have to add some time lines within the post but just a warning…it won’t be in order! </div><div>I am not sure how far back I want to go but let’s just start and see where it goes, I will get the ball rolling later this week. This is just my dusting of my place looking for a good spot to place my laptop. </div><div style="text-align: left;">More to come, welcome to the chaos. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><img alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1FTJmnCOUt_Ed3mfUafOecWlpPyRuDYEt" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1FTJmnCOUt_Ed3mfUafOecWlpPyRuDYEt" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; font-size: 12pt; height: auto; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: auto;" /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Old picture….2020 </div></div>honkeiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03517190745892738872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12450782.post-86645392408163636422020-10-17T20:02:00.000-04:002020-10-17T20:02:49.036-04:00FaceBook Wants Pay to Play<p> <span face=""Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I play with my blog and my site just for shits and giggles. I have no dreams of grandeur with this, hell even if I could wish for it I would not. I would lose followers due to my crappy writing and my in ability to be consistent. I do not care if anyone reads my page, I am here for me and me alone. It would be cool to interact with others who share this flair of blogging but in the end this is for my entertainment.</span></p><span face=""Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now, Facebook (FB) has this thing where it likes to harass people into paying for views. Normally I do not send anything to my JournaledTimes FB page unless it is about a direct post from here. Last week I did a little spicy food challenge ( I will make a full post about that later) and I posted it to my Instagram (IG) account. But for some reason IG changed my posting settings to post to my JournaledTimes page. Not sure to why or how, so I was looking for my post but I could not find it because it was on my JournaledTimes page.</span><div><span face=""Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span face=""Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">No big deal really, I just left it and moved on. Then I started getting harassed by FB to boost my post…..but I had to pay for it! Now I am not looking to put anymore money into this hobby than I already do, I pay a yearly fee to WordPress to keep my hobby on a legit page .</span></div><div><span face=""Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span face=""Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">At first it was just a simple post that popped up and I left it alone. But then it kept coming up over and over again. So I went to see what this was about, all these post about boosting!</span></div><div><span face=""Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span face=""Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Well, as it turns out I have to pay if I want to get more views from FB. And honestly that seems a bit fucked up, I will only get more views if I pay them money…..as I am not going to do that but I am curious as to how that works?</span></div><div><span face=""Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span face=""Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">What are they going to do to boost my post that was not happening already? I pay them money and they do what with it? How are other people that are not currently in my circle of friends going to see a video I posted on my page? I am interested in what they mean by boosting…..but not enough to pay money.</span></div><div><span face=""Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span face=""Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">FB, a multi billion dollar company, wants my pennies to boost my shitty little video….yeah no thanks. I am not hard up to artificially add views to my site. Reminds me of those fucktart influencers on IG that pay for their followers. You like my shit or you don't, makes no difference to me.</span></div><div><span face=""Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span face=""Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Come and follow or fuck off, I am not about to pump my money into a system that has no real proof it even works. I mean when was the last time you heard anyone thanking FB for their fame through boosting?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiwjpMRleHwRRfM640DLLh3-loiqNy3zb0BcTPyhAlkAKJCBxotqhS3ohYSHg_xcBsp2JqcpGiU_deAsjM1B-25OrK3AltzBIBvnjdyFjfdHEUbb0qd7Kc65uj0_tqfbzxnbpw/s828/PaytoPlay+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="648" data-original-width="828" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiwjpMRleHwRRfM640DLLh3-loiqNy3zb0BcTPyhAlkAKJCBxotqhS3ohYSHg_xcBsp2JqcpGiU_deAsjM1B-25OrK3AltzBIBvnjdyFjfdHEUbb0qd7Kc65uj0_tqfbzxnbpw/s320/PaytoPlay+%25281%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /></span><div><span face=""Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /></span></div></div>honkeiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03517190745892738872noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12450782.post-83796371660867046282017-06-25T23:27:00.000-04:002017-06-26T00:08:38.476-04:00Kids New Bed<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For sometime we have wanted to get the kids room in order. New beds, reorganized and CLEANED. Today we finally accomplished that very task. We bought them new loft beds with storage, a mini man cave area and drawers for their clothes.<br />
It was an all day under taking that was well worth it! My feet are killing me, the wife is complaining about her back but we are DONE.<br />
We will tackle our room in the next two weeks. It is in need of some serious over hauling as well, de-cluttered life is what we have been striving for and we are about to have it!<br />
I love a weekend that ends with an accomplishment!honkeiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03517190745892738872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12450782.post-38044154302007257392017-06-15T01:23:00.003-04:002017-06-15T01:25:27.829-04:00For the hundredth time.......I reboot I blogged originally in 4/2005.......holy shit 11 years of my bullshit. Erratic bullshit, very inconsistent and always full of run on sentences. I had this notion that I wanted to do a recap of all the things that have happened in my world since I put a real post down.<br />
<br />
But then I figured that was way too much of an undertaking so I am just going to randomly post shit that I have filled my life with. Vacations, pictures....lots of pictures, family, friends and all the things in between.<br />
<br />
I have had this blog in my brain but life gets in the way and I have found that if I do not set goals for myself things like this just keep slipping by. Hell, it has been almost one year to date since my last POST!<br />
<br />
So where to restart this love affair.....? I guess lets start with last weekend where we went to the Marin Highlands, right across the Golden Gate bridge:<br />

So here is slow beginnings, one fast post and time to go to bed. I started blogging at work back in the day, but my current job is just to demanding to even think about trying blogging at this place. I am going to try and post regularly but I have said that once before......fingers closed.</div>

But when I like something, I like to share and when I do not like something I share as well. I belong to Yelp to reach even more people with my endorsements. I am a huge fan of <a href="http://yelp.com/">Yelp.com</a> and use the shit out of it! Before going to a new restaurant I will check the reviews and will even add my own; the good, the bad and yes even the ugly.<br />
I never really gave much thought as to why I do these. In the end I guess it's just a hobby of mine. So, why do I do it? I like doing it, it's fun and I feel that maybe it can help someone else find that new favorite place/thing/dodad or avoid a real shit hole or something not worth the time or effort buying it.<br />
But on with my blog:<br />
I was watching a show that was talking about this high end bar in Japan that has the bartenders carving each round ice cube by hand for their supper high end scotch. And when I say high end I mean $3,900.00 a bottle high end! But I was intrigued by the round ice cubes, and I wanted one! And as fate would have it, the next day we were walking around Target and saw these:<br />
<br />

<br />
I could not wait to get these bad boys out of the box and in ma drank!<br />
<br />

<br />
So, I add the water and went about my business. Once science, magic or God did their thing my round ice cubes were ready! The only thing I can negative about these is that they were a little hard to get out, but run a little tap water over then and they pop right out.<br />
<br />

The family traveled from CA to NJ for the Christmas and New Years 2016. We ate way too much dinner food and Dunkin Donuts! Great times great company, visited NYC and just relaxed for a minute. Life is just becoming so fast and so complicated, the higher up the ladder you go the more responsibility you are given. I do miss the easier days but sometimes you have to move up or dont move at all...<br />

This weekend the family took a trip out to the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton, CA for 150th anniversary of the Scottish Highland Games! I really want to go to the whiskey tasting next year, kind of missed it this but next year.....its on!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
There were sword fighting, history lessons and above all....red headed Scottish women! Thank god for my South American princess to keep me grounded lol! </div>

Here we have the kids and the wife holding a few battle worthy weapons. Lucas was barely able to hold up that sword!</div>

Everyone had a great time and I cannot wait to go back again next year. But next year we will get here early and enjoy some whiskey from around the globe. I think next time we might bring an RV and camp at the site overnight to avoid the crowds a bit lol</div>

My time in the Orange life was short lived by the characters that I came across will stay with me forever and the memories I made will forever be part of the stories I tell after a few beers. Of the many people I came across the ones that tried to return home with their over sized purchases in small vehicles never fail to make me laugh. Like the guy trying with all his might to put a hot water heater in his hatch back or the guy putting 12 foot PVC piping through the sunroof of his nice BMW. </div>

Here we have a guy that came to the Depot on his motorcycle about bought some long wooden boards. He said this was not the first time he had done this so we did as we were instructed and taped it to his body. I am not sure if he made it home in one piece but I do know that I had to take a picture of it! </div>

Other things found in the lot, animals. Mainly birds and stinky humans. This little guy was just chilling by the front door. I was not sure if he was injured or what but he was not going to live very long sitting in the main walk way. I took him outside and put him in the bushes, I do not know what came of him but I can say I never found a dead bird that resembled this guy.<br />

This well trained dog was sitting in the car while his owner went in to buy something. He did not bark, move or try to get out. It was like he thought he was a person just chilling in the car. I would probably not been to surprised if he just starting talking like a human......not a bit surprised....<br />

So far I have been doing well with my blogging, I have one more short post and then I am all done with my Home Depot pictures. There are times I miss working there and I do miss the extra money but I love my time I spent with my family and friends more. I missed out on many outings because I had to work, we did need the money but I feel that we will always need the money and that once you miss out on something, you missed out.</div>
<div>
Take care of the things that matter the most, time well spent with those you would miss if they were not around. Bills will never go away and the more you have the more you want. Just be happy and if you do have to work multiple jobs to make ends meet, do not worry. I know it is hard but some day things will be better and good things come to those that work for them. Work hard, play hard and live hard.</div>

One of the numerous fun jobs was replacing the light bulbs on the cash registers. You have to get the big ladder and climb all the way up to get to these damn things!

The depot uses Bravo cards for employees to pat each other on the back, which by the way works and I am trying to implement something like this at my current job. I started it and everyone seemed to like the idea, I just have to follow up with it to show them it was not just some smoke screen and that it does mean something. People really need to be coddled and stroked these days. The idea of having a spine and good work ethic seems to have missed several generations of people.<br />
But you can have all those things and still have a sense of humor, notice my card to me for being awesome!<br />

During my time in the Orange Life I took pictures of the things I saw on a regular basis. A job is what you make of it and working in the lot was not always the best place, it was hot and people were always trying to get me to tie enormous items on top of their Ford Focus. I had fun with this job on a regular basis, and here are some of the pictures I took to share with everyone:</div>

3) This is his ride, I actually had numerous conversations with this guy. He has an HD credit card and would come in from time to time to pay his bills. He would do odd jobs here and there to make money and did not look homeless. I was never mean or nasty about asking him to move along, he was always polite and would leave when asked. And to be honest most of the time I just looked the other way, it was only when management came out and gave me barking orders did I actually approach him. After all, most of the time he was a customer.<br />

I have changed jobs numerous times and have finally landed in good place. I never revel the place I am currently working, for obvious reasons but I would like to do a recap on a job that I had during my short stay as a single man in San Jose,CA.<br />
<br />
Not really single but I was alone lol.<br />
<br />
Home Depot Part I<br />
<br />
I worked at Home Depot as a lot attendant, you know the guy that loads your car and gets carts. It was not the highest paying job but it was a fun job. I would like to share with those that are still around and any new people some of the pictures and experiences while living the Orange Life.<br />
I am not going to tell you the secrets of the Orange Life....because there aren't any lol. It was just a retail job with all the retail issues, and for those of you who know what that means....you have my sympathy.<br />
<br />
I would like to share my times in the orange apron in comments and pictures of all that befell me:<br />
<br />
1) They make keys, and one of them is the key to your back door....wink wink<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
2) Where did they get this time capsule of a stock photo of this girl and this TV?<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
3) While out in the lot you find all kinds of things in carts, here I found a fully frozen deli style chicken breast. I was tempted to take it home but I am not that brave lol<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
4) As a lot attendant we have to clear the lot of all garbage, some of which cannot just get dumped. You see, people are shits and they use the Home Depot parking lot as a place to dump their garbage they do not want to dispose of properly. It is illegal, and its called dumping. Here we have about 18 empty boxes of cooking oil that was graciously left by some asshat restaurant owners. Home Depot now has to properly dispose of these items, and yes they will call the cops and press charges if they catch you.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
5) A regular occurrence in the lot is that we would find evidence of people doing the nasty in the parking lot. I know its all exciting and all but come on, dont litter!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
6) The Depot was full of McGuiver-ish stuff and useful things if the zombie apocalypse comes to pass. And this will be one of the first things I will grab. It is an all over bad ass tool, I soo need to stop by and pick it up!<br />

<br />
I have more to share, this is just part one of a four or five part blog post. I was a huge blogging freak and I want to do it again. I am in a stable place once again and I can make the time to blog! So lets start this weekend off with a bang with my usual drivel!
And in my usual fashion I want to end my post with something personal.......
Say hello to Benny, we have had him a year and a half and he is still scared shitless of everything. Probably has to do with the fact he is the size of a Costco hot dog lol

I have been telling myself I really should get back into it, I really liked/like blogging. I have made some great friends here and even made met one in real life. Mark Ham, my friend from down under!<br />
<br />
I have soo much to say so I am going to have to organize my thoughts before I try to put it down on my blog.........hahaha who the fuck am I kidding I never organize, I just throw it up in the air and let it land wherever it may.<br />
<br />
The family is all here now and we are very much settled in San Jose, CA. The last time I blogged I was living the single life working as an operation manager for <strike>Pinkerton Government Services</strike>. And since then the wife and kids have moved in, I got laid off from my job, found another operations job but found it to be less than what I wanted so I ended up stepping down, got a part time working at <strike>Home Depot </strike> and quit after about 4 months. A job I actually enjoyed but the hours were all over the place and the money was....retail lol. I will be posting mucho pictures of things I found in the parking lot, I was the cart boy or 'Lot Assistant' lol<br />
<br />
I am currently working for another security company, the same one I stepped down from operations. I went from a flex officer part time to a site supervisor full time. I am going to do a blog about my work journey here in Cali, and yes this one will require some actual organization lol.<br />
<br />
The wife is working at a company as a temp employee, but there is real hope for full time. The kids have been in school now since last December and love their school. We have then enrolled in MMA, which will also be its own post in the near future.<br />
<br />
My weight, a topic that is always an issue is way way up again. I am currently in the process of trying to get it down, we are heading to Jersey in two weeks and I want my suit to fit a little less snug lol. I have gotten a little rounder than I would like so I have put into motion to undo it......and by in motion I mean I worked out one day so far lol.<br />
<br />
But let me end this now, I do have to do some thinking on how I want to tackle my year long MIA session. But I hope to rekindle the fun I had with this site, so until then:<br />
<br />

I always go into to sticker shock when I see how much they want for the good ones. And you cannot get away with going cheap on razors, a lesson well learned. But I really do not have the money to cough up that much money every few months!<br />
So while wondering about what to do I came across this on FB <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DollarShaveClub">DollarShaveClub</a>! Now I am not one to plug anything unless I have used and tried it, well I am a proud member and so far I am a huge fan. I cannot say if I will stay in the long run but so far so good!<br />

Now the price had me a little apprehensive about what this razor was going to do to my face. I would not classify my skin as sensitive but cheap razors leave me looking like I got the crap slapped out of me!<br />
<br />

So I put on my brave face and took the blade to the face! And in the end all came out well. The company says I should change the blades once a week, but I will see how long one cartridge will last me before I HAVE to change it.<br />
So as you can see the Dollar Shave Club gets a well deserved thumbs up from me, lets see how they do in the long run. I do not think they give discounts for referrals but just in case if they ask tell them I sent you lolhonkeiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03517190745892738872noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12450782.post-18178145567793437252013-11-11T00:50:00.000-05:002013-11-11T00:50:04.503-05:00Walking Around San Jose Since my great move to the west one of the things I love to do, is to go wandering around. The below pictures come from one such adventure. I have recently moved much closer to the downtown area, like a 45 minute walk kind of close ha!

I normally add comments to each one of my pictures but for some reason blogger is being a bitch at the moment. So just look at them and be happy knowing that they are all from downtown San Jose, yes that is a Christmas decoration, everything in the state of CA contains chemicals that cause cancer and birth defects and that all these pictures were taken by me and me alone. honkeiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03517190745892738872noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12450782.post-75969520585128909672013-07-18T20:32:00.001-04:002013-07-18T20:35:08.103-04:00Screw Motel 6 Part DuexWell to my surprise I got a letter back from the corporate office of Motel 6, and needless to say it was not much better than the actual encounter I had with the front desk clerks in San Jose. It seems like this place is run by some less that college material people. And to be honest this policy is chasing away some serious clientele, I mean what man is going to rent a room to bang his mistress if both parties have to show ID?!?! Come on now lets get real here; this is a Motel 6 in a funky part of town, a block away from a liquor store, a Chucky Cheese and a head shop ( AKA bong world)! Who are you trying to fool?<br />
But anyway here is the letter I received from the office of Motel 6:<br />
<br />
July 18, 2013<br />
Mr. Honkeie<br />
None of your damn business where I live<br />
San Jose, CA<br />
<br />
Dear Mr. Honkeie<br />
We appreciate your feedback regarding your recent experience at<br />
our Motel 6 property in San Jose S, California.<br />
For the safety and security of our guests and employees, our<br />
Corporate Safety and Security Department requires<b><u><span style="color: blue;"> the registering</span></u></b><br />
<b><u><span style="color: blue;">guest to present positive identification (ID</span></u></b>). This is a standard policy at<br />
Motel 6 locations nationwide. However, due to local ordinances or in<br />
cooperation with local government, some of our properties may be<br />
required to photocopy the ID presented. In this instance, the photo copy<br />
of the ID is locked and <b><u><span style="color: blue;">secured for five (5) years</span></u></b>, after which time the<br />
copy is destroyed. The general manager is the only individual with<br />
access to the copy.<br />
I have forwarded a copy of your comments to the Regional<br />
Management Team and our Corporate Safety and Security Department.<br />
In an effort to bring consistency at all of our properties with regard to<br />
our ID policy, both teams have reviewed the statute and are working<br />
together so that all our properties will conform with the law accordingly.<br />
Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this may have<br />
caused you. As a valued guest we respect your opinion and are most<br />
appreciative of your views. We hope you will continue to consider Motel<br />
6 your preferred choice for future lodging.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Ken Kincaid<br />
Guest Relations Specialist Report:1025582<br />

<br />
And here is my response to that letter:<br /><br />Thank you for getting back to me so promptly, but in ending this communication all I have to say about this policy is that it is very open ended. <br /><br /><br />What I mean by this, is that the sign at the motel I was at said ALL guest must show ID and now this letter states that 'registering guest to present positive identification'. This is such a vague policy that one has to ask the questions; Who does ALL refer to and to whom does the registering guest apply to? Do children under 18 that normally do not have ID's have to show proof and does registering guest mean the person with the reservation or everyone in their party?<br />I have written numerous policies for several different companies that I have worked for and this is not a well thought out policy, and if one were to really dig I think you are opening yourself up to possible legal action. I myself am not looking to do that, I am just saying that:<br /><br />1) The employees at this particular Motel 6 were not clear on what the policy standards were and even seemed to ad lib answers to my questions as the conversation went into the exacts of this policy.<br /><br />2) That the policy is very ambiguous and too open for question.<br />_________________________________________________________________________________<br /><br />I am not the smartest man on the planet but when people start telling me the rules of an establishment it had better be consistent and on point. And this was not the case with Motel 6. I mean I could have gone all lawyer crazy with this and cry discrimination, but I do not have an ethic bone in my body. Well I guess I could say it was because my great grandmother was a Native American or that its because I am part Irish............but I am not sure that would have worked in this media frenzy of ethic inequality. But then again one of my guest that day is Jewish and the other one is from Trinidad. And in all honesty I could see someone using this very policy to discriminate against people they do not want staying at their establishment. I could be wrong it could another way to safeguard the public from themselves, or just another BS tactic to make the everyday person feel like a criminal. <br /><br /><br /><div>

And below you will read the letter I sent to the corporate office about what went down:<br />
<br />
I recently booked a room at this Motel 6:<br />
<br />
2560 Fontaine Road<br />
San Jose, CA 95121<br />
<br />
Upon arrival I was informed that ALL guest under 20 had to show ID or we could not stay. Two of us had ID's but my 17 year old son and his 17 year old friend did not have a state issued ID and we were refused service based on this. I asked the front desk person if I had my 6 year old with me would he have to show ID, because the sign clearly stated that ALL guest had to have ID. I was informed no that children did not need to have ID. I informed her that the two without ID's were under age (and under 20 as they previously asked) and one being my son. To me is seemed like this location is making up stuff as they go, I will not be staying in a Motel 6 ever and I will be advising all I know to avoid Motel 6 in the future.<br />
Just a side note here:<br />
We drove from NJ to CA and not once at any hotel/motel/Inn were we asked to show ID for everyone and the idea of Motel 6 keeping a copy of everyones ID on file did not sit well with me. You have my ID, my credit card and even my license plate that really is all I feel any establishment needs. Maybe I am wrong but out of the last 7 places we have stayed at on this trip, this only one that left a bad taste in my mouth.<br />
<br />
And below you will find the sign that has this loosely based policy on guest at this place:<br />

7) This is the picture that informed me if my need to stay away from the bread lol. I have lost a good bit of the belly fat since I moved here 6 weeks ago but I still need have a bit more to go. I just wish I had the secret formula to getting this last bit off! Oh wait I do, its called running.....did I mention I hate running? HA <br />

I will do a follow up soon about our hike we did the next day in Big Basin State park. But that is for another day................................</div>

I have one more class to go to then I am officially all set for the next two years. In the state of CA you must posses what is known as the 'Guard Card' to work in any aspect of the security field. It is kind of the same as the SORA training back east but here in CA companies will not even look at you without one. Its fairly simple stuff; Report writing, the ins and outs of court procedures, the powers of arrest and detention and general stuff someone that wants to be a security guard should know.<br />
<br />
They also do fingerprints and background checks, you know just to make sure you are clear of ever getting caught....wink wink emphasis on the 'caught' part lol. And once you pass all the test and the background checks they issue you your card. I have my temporary card, it can take up to three weeks to get the actual card that is issued from the state.<br />
<br />
So I put on the suit, the tie and added one more part to my arsenal: My glasses. They say glasses make you look smarter and every bit could help. I have not been using my glasses in my past interviews so lets see if they help on this one. I prefer contacts over glasses but if they can help me look the part of the job I want then glasses I will wear.<br />
<br />
Now with my suit on, my temp card, my resume and my little black portfolio I headed into another job interview. I will not say much about it or how I thought it went, I do not want to jinx myself. I really do not believe in that stuff but at this point I will light incense and do naked chants in the backyard if I knew it would help!<br />

Ps......as soon as I have some money I am cutting this mop off my head! I am seriously overdue for a hair cut!honkeiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03517190745892738872noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12450782.post-51772288163766155212013-07-10T23:15:00.002-04:002013-07-10T23:15:47.574-04:00This blog is about six days late, oh well shit happens then you wipe. And repeat if need........<br />
Anywho I went to Alviso, CA this Fourth of July with some friends for beer, barbq and fireworks. Now the funny thing about fireworks is that they are illegal in CA, much like they are in NJ, but for some reason in this little town the cops look the other way.<br />
I mean hell we had to drive to an reservation in another state and go out into the desert to buy these damn things! And they were hella expensive too!<br />
And when I say fireworks I am not just talking about bottle rockets and roman candles, these backyard shows could have put some of the 'organized' fireworks to shame. There were some serious explosions going off all around us, and I mean all around us. I was like one house was trying to outdo the other for blocks and blocks on end!<br />
<br />
1) The day started with beer and food, and when I say food I mean really good food. You know the kind that you really should not be eating but cannt help but to shove into your mouth as fast as you can!<br />

A great time was had by all, I did not drink as much as I would have liked because I was driving. But it did allow me to people watch, which by the way is one of the best spectator sports in the world! The more they drank the longer they held onto the bottle rockets and the slower they moved away from the the box of mortars they just lit called 'Crack the Sky'.<br />
And to my surprise I never had to breakout the first aide kit, and yes I made sure I brought one. The stories I have been told about what has gone on in previous years dictated to me that I had to have that bad boy on hand.honkeiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03517190745892738872noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12450782.post-37085326358327345892013-07-10T20:19:00.000-04:002013-07-10T20:19:03.434-04:00This year I decide to do a birthday challenge.

The job hunt is slow going but it is going. There have been a few things I have had to obtain before I could really get a move on the hunt.<br />
One: Get a Cali drivers license. Got that last week, I had to bring in my birth certificate and my old NJ license then take the written test. Yes, I had to take the written test, the very one I took when I was 19! I passed, it was not all that hard. Some of it was common sense and some of it was just......well, NO DUH! But I did learn that it is illegal to smoke in your own car if there are persons under the age of 18 in the car with you. I did not know that!<br />
<br />
Secondly, I had to obtain a guard card. It is a card that says you have paid a large sum of money to a certified company to tell you what is on this state run multiple guess test. And once you pass it you then go through a background check and fingerprint check. And once all that is done you get this card that says you can go work as a security guard. To me it seems more like a tax for being 'allowed' to work as a guard and not so much a certificate of being competent.<br />
Most of the questions were......well again NO DUH! I paid my <strike>$325</strike> and passed the test for section one of three. I go back for round 2 next week to complete my training. The card is good for two years and after the two years the only thing I have to do is pay $35 to the state to keep the card in good standing. Again see how one could see this as a tax and not an actual certificate?<br />
<br />
But anywho, that has been my world so far. I do have some friends out here that I hang out with whenever I can. Last weekend we went to Tahoe and did a little gambling, nothing fancy just a little road trip to blow off some steam and buy <strike>fireworks</strike> ;-)<br />
<br />
And before I go here is a road sign I saw today just chilling by the highway. And yes I was a red light waiting to get on the highway. Oh and before I forget it got up to 107 today, no humidity.....thank god for that!<br />

And I feel that I have learned soo much since then; my writing style has changed, my look has changed, my life has changed and even my location has changed.<br />
<br />
I have soo much I have to say that I am not even sure I can, I mean I know I can but I do not know if I really want to go back and do a years worth of recaps!! But I guess I can just do a fast and dirty version of what I have been through:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Graduated college</li>
<li>Hurricane Sandy beat up NJ</li>
<li>The family has been doing well</li>
<li>Lilian bought a new car, a Kia Serento</li>
<li>The sister-in-law is now a nurse</li>
<li>The wife now works in the corporate office of her job</li>
<li>And I now live in San Jose, CA</li>
</ul>
<br />
Yes, I said I now live in San Jose, CA! We have been planning on this move for about three years now, and just this past July I made the move over. We packed my car and I drove from NJ to CA via route 80. It took me five days to complete my trip, I stopped four times along the way: Indiana, Nebraska, Wyoming and Nevada. I could have made it in four days but the wife found a super cheap room at Circus Circus in Reno and I just could not say no to staying in Reno!<br />
<br />
It cost me about $305 in gas and about $210 in hotels. It also cost me a sore butt from all that driving lol! The drive was as smooth as anyone could have hoped for, only a small amount of traffic in Pennsylvania and a small bout of rain in Nebraska. Other than that it was smooth sailing.<br />
<br />
Found a room to rent on the second day I was in CA and that has been home ever since. The only hard part about this adventure is that I miss everyone back home, I miss them tremendously. I underestimated how much I would miss everyone, but we knew this coming into this endeavor and I am not about to back down on what I came out here to do.<br />
<br />
I have been out here for almost a month now and the job hunt is on! I have had two interviews and I have another one lined up this Friday. I have been applying to just about any place that I think my schooling and background fits, so wish me luck on the hunt for a job......no a hunt for a career!<br />
<br />
I will be coming back as often as I can to post pictures, because I love posting pictures! Life is truly just the memories you make along the way, and I use a camera to help preserve them. And to end this post I think I will post a few of the ones I took on the ride over:<br />
<br />
<br />
My last trip to double D's<br />

I stopped in Lincoln Nebraska at the Horizon Inn and next door they had the only 24 hour sex shop I have ever seen......and by the way if you are looking for a clean and cheap room in Nebraska, the Horizon Inn is the place. Great place in my book.<br />

And that is it for now, I will be back sometimes this week to continue breathing life into this place. So many fond memories at blogspot with so many more to come.<br />

It has been a wild time since last I posted; unemployment problems, financial aid problems, job hunting problems, living situation problems and just life problems in general. But those are things I am tired of talking about and that is not why I started blogging, I want to come here and post some of the rambling crap that seems to ooze out of my head. A place to kick back and just say things like, 'Today I saw a lady walking her cat, nothing to strange about that; other than the fact the cat was purple!'<br />
And yes I did see that this morning, craziest thing I have seen in the ghetto this month. Hookers, pimps and crack heads have become the norm, but a lady walking a purple cat! Well, that about does it for me haha!<br />

I grew a long goatee, then I shaved it off. I wanted to keep it until I got a job but it got really annoying and ended up shaving it off. I started running and lost just about 11lbs in a month, I am now back to working out again and it feels great. Yesterday I did pull ups and push ups and a three mile run. I still cannt do too many pull ups but the run was pretty good, I did three miles in 31:16. Took off almost 2 minutes from my last 3 mile run.<br />
I also celebrated my 36 birthday in July, and to that my sister in law said; 'How does it feel to be almost 40?' And let me say I did not kill her, age has taught me that it is much more fun to kill them kindness that with a knife muahahahaah! And besides I know what makes her jump and scream, pay back should never be this much fun!<br />
I am going to try and come back here more often now that I have all my sign on issues dealt with. I know I have said that before so lets see if I can keep that promise to myself because I really do like my blog and it helps keep track of all of life's ups and downs.<br />honkeiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03517190745892738872noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12450782.post-12914364671888801102012-01-17T19:42:00.002-05:002012-01-17T20:48:12.902-05:00The Chase.....I am not sure if admitting to breaking driving laws openly will get me into trouble so I am going to do this in story telling mode....*so wink wink* This is just a fictitious story about a man named CN and his adventure with da man!<div><br /></div><div>The Chase</div><div>By </div><div>PL</div><div><br /></div><div>CN was sitting in traffic when his cell phone went off, it was work again. He has been on this electric for almost 10 years now, and it is really starting to take its toll on his mental health. </div><div>"Hello CN speaking." He said with little to no emotion in his voice.</div><div>And just as he put the tool that is slowly giving him brain cancer to his ear, he saw the police car pass by him. Whatever the squawking employee was droning on about fell into the back ground as CN looked into the rear view mirror and saw the cop trying to pull a k-turn four cars back.</div><div>CN has seen this type of trick used more than once, the last time it ended with his car being towed and a ticket for 'unclear plates'. Which was contested and was thrown out; Cop one :Pissed off civilian one!</div><div>And this looked just like another one of those moments. Lets see what possible tickets CN could get:</div><div>Possible talking on cell phone while driving and a definite busted tail light. </div><div>But CN saw his ticket out, the light had turned green and the box truck in front of him was turning right. As he made the turn along with the truck he made his move, the street he was turning onto was a high bridge going over some train tacks; which would also play into his game. Now, it was late and the road he was on went one of two place, the main highway or the back poorly lit roads for the industrial side of town. </div><div>With less than 60 feet to make his move CN floored it, cut off the box truck just as they went over the bridge, banged a hard right that lead into the industrial side, killed all the light and slammed the pedal down as if he was aiming for the street! CN looked in his review mirror just as the cop cross the intersection heading toward the highway. He then turned the lights back on and eased up on the gas, he was coming up to a popular titty bar and there were always cops hanging out there. The last thing he wanted was a speeding ticket.</div><div>CN then turned off the main road and made his way back to the highway via the side streets. This was not unfamiliar territory to CN, the old cemetery, the refinery and the everyday blue color town was where he spent his jr. high years. There is no better way to learn the roads of a town than on a bicycle and this was where CN was.</div><div>Within minutes he was back on the highway obeying every single law that was ever written governing the rules of the police state in which he lived. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Moral of the story, dont break traffic laws and never under estimate the power of a well thought out escape plan.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now like I said this is just a fun story of CN and his brush with the law, and if you dont know who CN is then you dont know me very well. But Since I am in a good mood I will tell you......</div><div>CN is the greatest man known to man, he once explained sound to a deaf person! CN is Chuck Norris!</div>honkeiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03517190745892738872noreply@blogger.com2
