Random Thoughts

How do you get a new computer for free??? Promise to blow up your old one!

I guess I must be getting old. I remember a time when I could drink soda right before I went to bed and I could pass right out. Now… that is not the case. So random advice for the night: Don’t drink 24oz of Coke at 3am before you head to bed or else you will not be able to sleep.

On another note however I had another long day at work (9 hours for the 3rd day in arrow). I am so not used to that any more since coming home from Florida. Sad part is I will have to get used to that again as I am going back again this fall. But anyways, during work I got to put up the window display, which I really enjoy doing, and I was very happy the way it came out. Check it out!

Sadly it took me about 90 mins to put it all together (this includes taking down the display that was already there and cleaning the window/floor). That stack of tires display took about 20-30mins alone trying to figure out how it went! Over all, long day, can’t fall asleep, and still trying to let go of things…..

More photos for you all to look at and wish you were in Florida too! All of these were taken last fall during my Disney College Program. Click on the photos for a larger view

What the heck am I thinking. I have been accepted to do a Third Disney College Program. I will be arriving some time in late Aug or begging of September. This time my role is in Operations.
For those who do not know me, let me fill you in on a bit of my back story (and to those same people who don’t know me, welcome to my blog). I have done the Walt Disney World College Program twice before. The first time was in the Spring of 2002 (my freshmen year in college), with a role in Quick Service Food and Beverage. Most of my time spent on this college program was at Disney’s Blizzard Beach water park. However when I first arrived in January the park was closed and I was put at Disney’s All Star Sports Resort doing foods there. Then when the Atlanta Braves Spring Training started, I was moved to Disney’s Wide World of Sports to help out with a few games ushering. Now I am not a big Braves fan, but getting paid to watch baseball and to answer where the bathroom was, I was not going to complain! Finally after working at Blizzard Beach I was able to train and be a lifeguard for a few weeks at the park. Even with all the moving around, I had a wonderful time on my first College Program.
After coming home, I applied to the Disney Store and have worked there since. Also I had became the Campus Rep for my school for the college program. As a campus rep I promoted the College Program on my campus and other schools around me in exchange for goodies and perks from Disney.
Last year, because of a class I needed and being talked into it by a wonderful female I applied and did the program again (after failing to get a Professional Internship). This time I worked at Downtown Disney at the World of Disney, the largest Disney retail location in the whole world. Unlike my first program I stayed at this location for the whole time (with the exception of 3 or 4 days at the Christmas shop in downtown Disney).
I had a wonderful time with both programs. So much so that after this next time, I am hopefully going to stay in Florida and work there Full-time. That’s the reason for my third CP. I can go to Florida knowing that I have a place to live and work for 5 months while I work at getting a full-time role and a place to live.
And if that is not crazy enough, I have a trip planed for my birthday in July with some co-workers from here at home.
So there is my story. Please feel free to ask questions in my comments and I will try to answer them.

Another fun You Tube video that is making the rounds. The funniest 6 minutes you will ever see! Remember how many of these you have done! Judson Laipply is dancing. www.lifeischange.com.

Ok, two fun things with this post!

First, last weekend my school held the 2nd annual addition of Moosestock. And returning this year was the band Enter The Haggis. For your viewing pleasure I took some video with my digital camera and put them on you tube… currently I have 11 videos (ranging from 30secs to 3mins) on there so check it out and enjoy! (watch below or go here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=BE4A3CD7E669A0CA:

Next just for the fun of it, I uploated another video of a Streetmosphere performer from the Disney-MGM studios in Florida. This is one of my favorite characters, very funny and a wonderful character to watch. Check him out!

Enjoy!

(Edit: I have been receiving alot of hits on this issue, for more up to date posts and links on the topic check out this blog: http://www.realtechnews.com/posts/3011
But please note that this e-mail is a HOAX… not true, continue to use Blue Security… This was just an attempted by the spamers to scare you to stop using this program because it really does work!)

———————-
So I got this letter in my e-mail about BlueSecurity.com, a anti-spam service I signed up for. Anyone else get this???

Hey,

You are recieving this email because you are a member of BlueSecurity (http://www.bluesecurity.com).

You signed up because you were expecting to recieve a lesser amount of spam, unfortunately, due to the tactics used by BlueSecurity, you will end up recieving this message, or other nonsensical spams 20-40 times more than you would normally.

How do you make it stop?

Simple, in 48 hours, and every 48 hours thereafter, we will run our current list of BlueSecurity subscribers through BlueSecurity’s database, if you arent there.. you wont get this again.

We have devised a method to retrieve your address from their database, so by signing up and remaining a BlueSecurity user not only are you opening yourself up for this, you are also potentially verifying your email address through them to even more spammers, and will end up getting up even more spam as an end-result.

By signing up for bluesecurity, you are doing the exact opposite of what you want, so delete your account, and you will stop recieving this.

Why are we doing this?

Its simple, we dont want to, but BlueSecurity is forcing us. We would much rather not waste our resources and send you these useless mails.

Its simple, we dont want to, but BlueSecurity is forcing us. We would much rather not waste our resources and send you these useless mails, but do not believe for one second that we will stop this tirade of emails if you choose to stay with BlueSecurity.
Just remember one thing when you read this, we didnt do this to you, BlueSecurity did.

If BlueSecurity decides to play fair, we will do the same.

Just remove yourself from BlueSecurity, and make it easier on you.

I got this e-mail three times, once from a Helen Crowell and another from Kareem Grant and a third from Elliott Farmer…. the last paragraph is all random on each… its really weird… i dont get it…. please feel free to post your thoughts about this, and if you have gotten this e-mail also.
