banner A daydream is a meal at which images are eaten. Some of us are gourmets, some gourmands, and a good many take their images precooked out of a can and swallow them down whole, absent-mindedly and with little relish. One man's daydreaming is another man's day.

Pismo Beach 2008

Author: pHluid | Files under Family & Friends, Outdoors

This was one fun trip if I do say so myself. If you ever decide to go camping, make sure you plan it ahead of time so you’re not using up all your time planning what you need to do while you are actually on the trip. Do it all ahead of time. If you miss something the first time around, you can always go back again and do the stuff you missed.

I thought I would just add that little tidbit of information for you. This entry was mainly to let you see the pictures from the trip. We went for Vivien’s (murmur’s) Birthday to Pismo Beach, CA. If you love the beach, you’ll love Pismo!

Goodbye Victoria :(

Author: pHluid | Files under Blogging, Family & Friends

Find a way
To hear this word
Fly away
My gentle bird

Love the wind
But fear the skies
All its vastness
All it’s size

Live in peace
Forever free
But remember to
Remember me

Wash Me… Now!

Author: pHluid | Files under Automobiles

There comes a point in time when enough is enough. I know that sometimes my car can get a little dirty from time to time but this is ridiculous. If this happens to you every day, maybe you need to find a new place to park your vehicle. This will ruin your paint job and when it comes time to trade or sell your car, you won’t get nearly as much for it with all the damage it has undergone. I just thought this picture was worth sharing with the rest of the world to learn a lesson. This looks ugly! Wash Me…… NOW!

The Art of Coffee Making

Author: pHluid | Files under Arts & Entertainment, Food & Drink

This is going to be a short blog today. And by that, I mean, its going to be really short. I am only telling you its going to be short so I can make it a little longer otherwise I would just say, “Doesn’t this look yummy and beautiful?”

Some people really know how to go out of their way to make a person’s day and this drink, I’m sure, really uplifted someones spirits. Cheers to a great cup of coffee (or mocha in this case) and a great day.

Greedy Little B…

Author: pHluid | Files under Gaming, Health & Fitness

After getting so irritated with a few customers, I am finally one of the lucky ones who owns a Wii Fit.  I have played it a total of 1 and a half hours now (the game says I have 48 mins of workout time under my belt though).  When you first play Wii Fit, you spend a small chunk of time learning the poses and exercises and this doesn’t count toward your workout time so this is why there is a difference in my actual play time and workout time. 

Let me take you back to a week ago when it was released to the public.  I didn’t pre-order (bad me) but it wasn’t a huge deal to me that I have this on the actual release day.  I did go to every place that was selling Wii Fit and to no avail, I was unable to snag a box.  Fry’s Electronics was surprisingly helpful though and let me know the next time they expected to receive shipment.  The nice lady even gave me a business card with the direct phone number to the software department.  How nice of her!  So I called on the day that they were receiving them, and they explained to me that they DID have them in stock and after asking how many they currently had in stock they told me they had 7 left.  Oh happy me!  I will be receiving a copy, right?  WRONG!  I drove over there in about 5-8 minutes and when I arrived to the display of this (game?) there were no more copies left and I watched as an older gentlemen walked away with the last copy.

Wordpress

Author: pHluid | Files under Blogging, Internet

I think it was high time that I got off my butt and do something about my blog. I had been using blogspot for a while now to try this blogging thing out and now after switching to wordpress I can’t even understand why I went with blogspot in the first place. Wordpress is so much more configurable and customizeable. You can do a huge load of more things with it and the categorization of blog entries is much more clear. There truly is a difference between categories and tags and blogspot obviously doesn’t understand the difference. I feel like my blog is much more organized now and I think it looks better too!

The layouts created for wordpress are far more complex with a wider range to choose from. This is just one of my favorite layouts so far and if you’re viewing from an iPhone you get an iPhone compatible layout all to yourself with ease of use for the platform that it runs.

All in all, if you’re one of those individuals that needs simplicity then you can use the free blogspot.com or wordpress.com accounts. But for me, I am sticking with this other free wordpress.org software installable to my own web host. No need to forward domains or change cnames or DNS entries anymore. I’m finished with that!

Twittering my Thumbs

Author: pHluid | Files under Internet

So my brother was telling me about twitter. I have heard of it before and maybe you already know what it is. But it seems to me so far to be a waste of my time and text messages since I would most likely be updating it from my iPhone. Read more..

Clean & Yummy

Author: pHluid | Files under Food & Drink

There’s nothing like a clean and yummy, delicious looking pastry case in the morning. Especially when its done in record time and you know you did everything to standard. Muffins with muffins. And scones with scones. Prepping the pastry case really is an art and one really feels proud when its finished. It truly is a shame that all that work goes down the drain by prying eyes and orders that remove a pastry leaving a void in a place where you know there should be something there. Oh well. Next time you visit a starbucks in the morning. Check to see how organized the case is. You know you’re at a passionate bux when the case is clean and organized.
