Wall*E rocks...lost iPhone, not so much.

Just a quick update today:

First, saw Wall*E opening night.  I loved and I challenge anyone to see that movie and not fall in love with Wall*E...if you can't you are one heartless SOB.

Second, having your beloved cell phone slip out of your pocket in a cab sucks.  Especially when you don't notice until long after the cab has driven off...and you had no idea what cab company it was.  that being said, I've switched over to Verizon and actually have a Northern Virginia number now...and I'm on a Blackberry.

Yeah.

You can say one thing about me

What's that you ask?  That would be that I don't take the decision to get a tattoo lightly (or quickly).  It took me about 5+ years to get dear old Sonic on my arm way back in 2004.  Now it's halfway through 2008 and I've finally decided to go ahead with my 2nd one.  My brother Aaron is going to kick out the design again and all that needs to happen is for me to decide on final placement.  I can tell you this...it won't be as visible to the everyday viewer of Mikey as Sonic is.  The placement of that aforementioned tattoo is the only regret I have about getting it.

I also have a strong idea about my 3rd and likely final* tattoo...and this will please my Dad.  It actually has to do something with the Lynch side of the family.  Nothing too crazy...but a small version of the Lynch coat of arms in order to rep that Irish heritage of mine.

All this will be coinciding with my next trip back home which will most likely be towards the end of July/early August.

*Although I have always told myself I would tattoo my kid(s) name to me (if I ever even bother having one).

Man...do I live in Seattle?

Because during the last couple weeks, it seems to find a way to rain at least once a day.  Crappy thing is, I had planned on attending the 007 Film Fest after an extended hiatus ("Live and Let Die" is showing tonight).  Oh well...

Ga Nederland!

Beat Russia!!!

Slow week

In terms of Mikey news that is.  Just wanted to pop in to let you guys I'm still here. :D

New Look

Trying something new with ye olde hair...what's everyone think?

w00t!

Looks like our contract @ work got picked up again...so my job is safe.  Oh happy day!!!

They Came In!

Wow, so I did not expect my new plates to come in already; but there they were, just sitting in my mailbox.

So yeah, MACFAN didn't last long...I just wasn't digging it on my car.  Plus when I thought of this particular string of alphanumerics; and found out it wasn't taken...I had to jump on it.  Finally, even though I still "Support the Troops", I wanted to go back to the less busy standard plates.

By request

Nothing really new going on in Mikey's life.  I've been enjoying some time at my building's pool, hanging out with Dan before he leaves (to include rooting for his Celtics in the NBA Finals), and figuring out what I can do to get a girl's attention.

Oh, and still awaiting word on our contract at work...but I'm not really worried.  Nevertheless, I need to button up the resume just in case.  Haha

Sunday Adventures

Well, life is still going well for me and I always happen to find something awesomely cool about where I live.  So today, in the interest of doing something on my own I decided to to walk up the trail along the George Washington Parkway (the same one I normally run).  I actually had a backpack packed with a towel since I intended to lay out in the sun...yet, when I arrived @ the park, I decided against it.  So yeah...here are some photos from today.  Don't forget you can click them to get a somewhat larger view.
