June 20, 2006. Posted by rajanoe under Game Gaper. The Miami Heat wins. The 2006 NBA Championship. No surprise there. What was surprising was the great effort displayed by the Dallas Mavericks throughout the season. Miami had the Big Two: Shaquille ONeal and Dwayne Wade. Add to that was championship veteran coach Pat Riley. Public opinion and support easily favored the Florida team. And for all that, I respect Dallas Mavericks as much as I congratulate and celebrate Miami Heats win. June 19, 2006. Take f...

June 17, 2006. Posted by rajanoe under Visual Viewer. Sam Javanrouhs photo blog Daily Dose Of Imagery. Featured a rather disturbing, albeit artistic, macro-shot picture today that seems to have been extracted from a Neil Gaimans work of fiction:. Its a dried pomegranate, if you havent figured it out yet. But my Gestalt-of-an-impression of this is (however twisted it may read): a decaying snipped nipple. In true Gaiman sense of imagination, I see spiders crawling out of a dried and wounded breast. Maybe Y...

April 27, 2006. Posted by rajanoe under Health Nut. In my quest to lose the dreaded beer belly (motivated by a $100 challenge), I made a switch from cholesterol-filled breakfast (mmmmmmmm, bacon! To a healthy glassful smoothie. For those unfamiliar, a smoothie is a blended, nutritional beverage that is perhaps a spin-off of the more common and popular milkshake. 1 cup low fat milk. 2 tbsp non fat vanilla flavored yogurt. 1 tbsp peanut butter. 1 scoop whey protein milk powder. April 18, 2006. Now zinc may...

March 19, 2006. Posted by rajanoe under Troubled Tourist. I dont know if youre familiar with the hit TV show Lost. But my return to California from Manila yesterday has made me think that recent events may have led me out of similar Lost. Danger, disaster, and, yes, death. You see, I am a Greg Focker. When traveling. I humor the gods of travel with all sorts of misfortune that an ordinary traveler would not. Cast in real life (hard knock on wood). What difference did that delay make? A lot I have dodged ...

July 15, 2006. A Bad Week Ago. Posted by rajanoe under Mind Tripper. If hearing Brett Scallions of Fuel. On the radio while driving along the freeway on a Sunday was a portent of things to come this week, I wouldn’t have cranked up the volume to sing my lungs out and instead would’ve just pulled over the shoulder and prayed for a reversal of karma. No, I didn’t have a bad day. I had a bad week. Monday, I got a $35 parking violation ticket. At 820, an officemate checked in. He had a hard time finding ...

May 25, 2006. Posted by rajanoe under Visual Viewer. Two TV ad spots caught my attention last night while watching (in agony, I must stress) the American Idol. Finale. Both are about that staple of a fridge drink (besides beer, ocourse), Coca-cola. Because they drink Coke on TV. Why do we sing on hilltops with friends eventhough it sounds ridiculously cheesy? First ad was about a pretty girl and a dorky guy sitting on opposite ends of a bench in some gentrified neighborhood (Brooklyn, perhaps). It st...

August 13, 2006. Posted by rajanoe under Health Nut. Content in its ketchup, the burger was unsurprisingly satisfying — perhaps it was because I was hungry or because I have not. Eaten in any fastfood since February. Besides, it was, as David Zinczenko of the Abs Diet. Fame terms as, my cheat meal. Of the week. So, no guilt there. Just the usual resolve to run an extra lap on the treadmill. I hear on the radio of late. I made a transcript of the radio commercial and it goes something like:. I crack up an...
