It’s official. My name has been changed from Jason Michael Burrows to Jason Megatron Burrows, effective today.
Here’s the story of my trip to the courthouse:
The Judge came in about 15 minutes late & apologized, then said that she’d be hearing name changes first, The first lady got up & changed her last name to honor her birth family. Next, a family went up, and the mom & dad both said that their daughter would like her name changed to Jessica, so the judge signed that order.
Then it was my turn… I walked to the front, where she had me raise my right hand to swear that I would tell the truth, whole truth & nothing but the truth. She asked if my name change was to defraud creditors, I said no. She asked if it would be detrimental to anyone else, I said no. She Then asked if I was indeed changing my middle name to that of my childhood hero, I smiled & said “Yes Ma’am.” She said, “Then I do order & decree that your name be changed from Jason Michael Burrows to Jason Megatron Burrows” with a HUGE grin. There were quite a few chuckles from the courtroom… I was handed the paperwork & I split. =)
Yeah… I think I need to gear up for a new phone soon.
Now, this time I mean it!!! If Sprint does not carry this I am fucking quitting! I’m sick and tired of Sprint being way behind everyone else on the coolest phones and the coolest everything else.
I hereby promise that if Sprint doesn’t have Android I quit Sprint!
He lists (with explanations) 20 things his life has taught him up to this point:
You must create and look for opportunities
Negativity will only bring more of it
Where you are does not determine where you can go
If you can’t help others, you can’t help yourself
Follow your passion, money will follow
Enjoy yourself
If it were easy everyone would do it
Planning is good but so is being spontaneous
You have many talents
Don’t work hard without rewards
Money does bring happiness
Someone always has it worse
You’ll need others
Being open-minded is the key to more knowledge
Failure is great
Most people are actually nice
Words and thoughts control everything
Your view is the reality
Inspiration and motivation are everywhere
You can change the world
I urge you to give it a read-through and decide for yourself what you think of it and of your life in general.
I urge myself to think. I need to be more positive and to dedicate more time to myself rather than to others. One of my personal problems is that I am usually too eager to jump to help. What I should really do is distribute my time and my help more sparingly and realize for myself what my time is really worth.
I really think that in this way people would respect me more and would actually value my advice better. And I will have more time to give it. It’s an opposite of catch-22, I suppose. The less time I dedicate to helping the more time I will have to help :).
I need to think further on this but this article did get me started in that direction.
Go to that website, read some more news about this toy, or do whatever is it you do to research a new gadget.
As for me, I am going to start reading up on this. I am sick of my Motorola Q and have been thinking about changing it to something else for months now (even though I’ve had it for less than a year).
We’ll see how things go, but so far this is the best alternative to iPhone that I have seen.
Windows mobile is somewhat important to me at the moment (ability to push to/from Exchange is a good thing) so X1 sounds like a great buy.
MILITARY MEDICAL MISTREATMENT & THE FERES DOCTRINE
Got this clip emailed to me with this message:
WOW! Remember how you were talking about the different levels of human (jail inmates lowest and then Military)? Well there is a short news clip on the Feres Docterine (Prevents military people to sue the govt for medical malpractice) and it is really stunning.
Oh, yes, I did it! I made a Russian party
So, here’s the a recipe for a good Russian-food party:
1. be Russian.
2. go to Russian store and buy food.
3. enjoy the food.
Yep, it’s that simple!
No, really, this was fun! Especially the flaming/burning sausage thing. Come out really good. It’s like an instant BBQ with just 151 rum
