More insanity in the news

A man was forced to change his t-shirt before boarding a plane. He was told it was a security risk. What was on the shirt you might ask? A cartoon robot holding a gun, more specifically a “transformers” character. A well known fictional cartoon robot holding a laser gun is a security risk. The real risk is underpaid and untrained security officers.

Better every day

As I said before, my cousin Amy made the big move to Tennessee. She’s recently divorced and starting a new life. For the time being she is working for me, helping me with the day to day operations of my business. She’s slowly but surely getting herself back together but she’s horribly in debt. She’s working diligently to get her life back on track and is using a service to help her with debt negotiation.

Amy is going through debtconsolidation.com, a company with many different programs to help people in a financial bind. Soon she will be back on her own two feet again. In the meantime, I am really enjoying having a new assistant.

Best super hero movie ever

Arnie — Tue, 06 May 2008 13:00:29 +0000

Last weekend I couldn’t resisting running off to the movie theater to see Iron Man. As a fan of comics, I think some super hero movies are really bad, mainly because they don’t always use the source material very well. Case in point, Venom in Spider-Man 3. But I will have to say Iron Man rocked. Robert Downey JR was a perfect Tony Stark. The supporting cast was great as well and this came as a relief because I really wasn’t too thrilled with the Iron Man animated movie. Mainly because I didn’t like what they did with Mandarin, they totally butchered his character. This not the case with the live action film, it was great!

Learning more and more

With Amy here helping me with the day to day operations, I’ve decided to continue with my computer education. Since I still don’t have enough time to actually enroll in school per se. I decided to do a study at home course from Quickcert, that way I can learn at my own pace while still working full time. The course that I’m taking is for CEH Certification (Certified Ethical Hacker).

A close friend of mine has his certification and makes around $70k per year. Not bad for something you can learn from home. Not that I’m quite ready to leave the entertainment industry, but It’s something I can use in my day to day life and certainly something good to fall back on. Once I finish this course, I plan on taking more at my leisure. There’s a lot to learn that could really help me solve my own tech problems instead of having to pay someone else to fix them.

It’s been a minute

It’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been rather busy lately with the out of town job and getting Amy situated and all. But alas life is good, Amy is working out great and it’s freed up my time a bit to work on other things, like going to see Iron Man, btw was awesome. I suppose I’ll do a review in a bit.

Well, She’s here

Amy is finishing up her move to my place while I’m in Ohio working. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to be much help with the move as I’m 2 states away. About the only thing I did was get her a moving company and an auto shipping company because she has 2 cars and no one could take time away to drive one for her. They pretty much did all of the work for her, witch is a good thing. She didn’t have to do much other than meet the movers at both locations, they handled the rest. It’s so good when you can pay someone to go through all of the headaches for you. This leads to a much more peaceful life.

Oh Yeah

We came, we saw and we rode everything…..twice! Six Flags was a blast. The park was not busy at all, practically empty. I think the longest line was about 10 minutes, and that was for Goliath and Superman. The weather was great, not too cold or too hot. I have to say it couldn’t have been much better!

Fixing Your Credit

Arnie — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 07:20:40 +0000

As I mentioned in an earlier post, my cousin Amy is in really bad debt and is having credit problems out the wazzu. To get her finances back on track, she sought the help of a Credit Counseling Company. She needed expert help for a big problem. Not only had she just gone through a very painful divorce but it also left her credit in ruins. Divorce alone is bad enough, dealing with credit problems on top of it is just brutal.

For anyone else in a comparable situation, there’s a company called The Credit Exchange. They’re the only service of it’s type, not a credit card company trying to give you more credit cards than you need, but a sort of referral service for those in need.

OH MY GOD!! no Joey

Arnie — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 05:29:50 +0000

Joey Styles is gone from the ECW announce booth and replaced my Mike Adamle. This Sucks! Joey is one of the best in the business and to me, irreplaceable. Apparently he’s toking over WWE.com. I wish him all the best and he will be missed. It’s true, anything resembling the original ECW is gone. I guess it’s better than beating a dead horse.

A New Assistant

Arnie — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 05:11:20 +0000

So, as I said in my last post, I’ve got family in town. My cousin, Amy is here and probably for good. I’m hiring her as an assistant to help me with my day to day operations. Answering the phone, setting up jobs, giving price quotes, that sort of thing.

Amy is recently divorced and needs a life change. The divorce left her depressed and in a huge amount of debt. Creditors are calling her everyday and the stress is enough to overwhelm anyone . She’s getting her life back together with the help of Debt Counseling and a strong will to go on. With attorney’s fees, and several bills now in collections, she certainly needs help consolidating her debt and she is taking the first steps to a new stress and debt free life. We’re starting with a day trip to Six Flags. I told her the day was on me and to consider it a signing bonus.
