I'm not longer going to post here on LJ. I will still read all your posts but doesn't seem much reason to continue along on here.
If you would like to add my website to your Live Journal to keep in touch with me please go here and add me.

If you use a news reader and would like to add my journal to your news feed to keep in touch with me please add
http://www.dangarion.com/feed/
Lastly you can go to my website and subscribe to my website via email, you can do this by either subscribing to just the email, OR you can also register with my site with something called OpenID, which will allow you to securely login with your LiveJournalID and register to my site, and from there you can subscribe.
To use OpenID go here http://www.dangarion.com/wp-login.php? and then at the area it says Login using OpenID, type in your LJ Username.livejournal.com ( Mine would be dangarion.livejournal.com ).
Like I said, I will continue to watch all my friends but I don't see the reason to post on here any longer, it seems redundant to continue to mirror posts on both sites.

3 Miles!
I’m drinking my first soda in 40 days, since Kelly gave up soda for lent I didn’t drink any either. Probably won’t drink as much now, just when I get the carbonated craving. We are going to do some spring cleaning in the apartment today and then later head over to Kelly’s moms for Easter dinner. Should be a nice relaxing day for the most part.

I like this a lot better then my light color theme I was using. I’d like to thank Small Potato over at WPdesigner for his wonderful theme that I was able to hack up a little bit to fit my needs! Tell me what you think of the new design of DanGarion.com. I am still planning to change the banner image and text, but I’m not sure what I’d like to have yet.

This is a Live Journal only post regarding something going on with Live Journal. Personally I don't think it's a big deal. This is a company and if they feel they need to stop having basic accounts without advertising so be it. There is no free meal, you don't get something for nothing, and the more they require new accounts to have advertising, the less they will impose on those that have paid. IMO.
I realize that some of you think you are doing some notable thing by deciding to no post for a whole day (wowwee) but if you are really interested in making a statement maybe you should just stop giving them your money and get a real journal/blog.
I only continue to use Live Journal because I have close friends that use it, if I could somehow get them to just go to my website instead of using LJ to communicate with me I would have done it a long time ago (permanent account or not).

Well I’m going to continue to add my reviews to Yelp.com but I’m also going to start posting them here to my site. You will get a lot of posts from me in the next couple days as I import my food reviews into this site. Just giving you all a heads up.

Originally published at Powered By Dan!. You can comment here or there. I’ve been running around since I woke up this morning at 6:30! It all started with driving Kelly to work at 7:15. On my way home I picked up some breakfast from Del Taco and then came home to spend a little time with Buster. At around 9:30 I put my bike in Kelly’s truck and took it over to Orange Cycle to have it get some new more road friendly tires (since we never mountain bike) and also a seat that would be comfortable for my big fat ass. After I dropped the bike off I went to the auto store to get some towels and a clay bar to see if I could fix an issue with the truck’s hood. A while back a bunch of white paint got sprayed onto the truck and it has been bugging me since but I wasn’t sure exactly what to use to fix it, so I decided to try the clay bar. Before I went back home I went to the car wash and have them do just a basic clean, since it’s hard to wash your own vehicle at an apartment. I talked to one of the guys there and he suggested that I first use lacquer thinner and then afterwards the clay bar. So after the car was washed I went to the hardware store and picked up lacquer thinner, gloves, and razor blades. Next I had to drop off Kelly’s paycheck and by then it was time to pick up the bike. After getting the bike and going home I started working on the truck. It is such an improvement, the hood looks brand new! I also cleaned up the windshield since it had some paint spray on it as well. Now I just need to figure out what to use on the plastic bumper to get the paint off of it. After finishing all those chores I took a break and went to this hole in the wall middle of a neighborhood BBQ place in Santa Ana called Burrell’s BBQ, food was really good and it was nice eating outside in the sun for a change. Next I went back home and took my newly improved bike out for a ride. I only get a 2 mile ride but I haven’t rode my bike for awhile and it was already getting late so I just pushed my self slightly. Now I’m sitting at the computer relaxing for a couple minutes till I drive over to to dog grooming shop and help Kelly clean and close the shop for the day.

I’m planning to dedicate 4-5 days a week to posting on my Let’s Go Dodgers! blog. If you are at all interested in following it you can either subscribe to get email from the site, you can signup as a user and subscribe (which would also allow you to post). Also I have something called OpenID installed which means you can login with your Livejournal login and it will save your user on my site and log you in so you can post comments as well. Or you can subscribe to the sites RSS feed.
I’d really like to get any and all constructive comments and criticism. I’ve never claimed to be a writer, but I’d like to improve my writing skills in this area. One of my first loves is baseball, and especially Dodgers baseball. True I’ll never be a great blogger, but even if I only get a couple people to read my news and thoughts, I’ll be happy. If you have any questions about the site you can post them here, on the site or email me at daniel@letsgododgers.com.

For those of you that can't tell, this is a picture of Bob Saget, singing Danny Tanner is not Gay, along with John Stamos who came on stage to give him a hard time. Was a really great show. Saget is alllllllll over the place, he's sort of an ADD Comic, off on to 10 tangents and finally back on the original subject to just go off to 5 more tangents.

  Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) e 5/5

You would think that me of all people would have seen this movie, considering I’m a huge Cameron Crowe fan, but for some reason I never thought of renting it till recently. Amazing movie, just like most of Crowes work. And what male with a heartbeat can’t love the pool scene.

True Romance (1993) e 3/5

Another black comedy, but this time from the early 90s. This movie was loaded with stars. It’s a who’s who of movie stars, Slater, Walker, Jackson, Hopper, Oldman.

Heathers (1989) e 2.5/5
2008-03-07 18:14
Entertaining and wacky is about all I can say about this late 80’s black comedy. Although it did have the delicious Winona Ryder in it, which is a big plus.

Be Kind Rewind (2008) e 4/5

I really liked this. It was goofy at times, but I really liked the sentimental ending. It’s not the best movie out there but I really enjoyed it. Kelly thought it was just average.

Originally published at Powered By Dan!. You can comment here or there. I got a new baseball book a couple days ago, Fantasyland. It’s a great read, I’m already 100 pages into it. Pretty much it’s non fiction book about fantasy baseball. Anyone that enjoys baseball and fantasy baseball should give it a read, it’s a fun book .
So after 1 year away from keeper league fantasy baseball, I’m back on the wagon, or is that off the wagon? My best friend Doug who I’ve been in a fantasy baseball league of some quality since high school started a league with another friend of ours last year, after the previous keeper league we did died. Well one of the guys that is a mutual acquaintance ended up dropping out, and Doug asked me if I wanted his team. After thinking about it for awhile I decided to take over the team. Unfortunately this team will require a big make over to become the type of team I’m proud to call my own. This is what I got to work with so far. Take into consideration that this is the full roster, of which I have to select 17 to keep by next weekend. Those that are bold are the ones I’ve currently decided to keep (things may change). But I don’t know all the league rules regarding positions to make a completely educated decision yet.

Originally published at Powered By Dan!. You can comment here or there. So not many of you know this, when I was a teenager I had a real bad ingrown toenail that ended up having to be resolved by the doctor extracting the entire nail. It was not a pleasant experience. Well after they did that they told me I had a 25% chance the nail would grow back. Of course being on the wrong side of luck it ended up growing back. I never went back to the doctor’s since it was a painful experience. I just dealt with the nail, it wasn’t that much of a issue for years… Fast forward to about 2 years ago when I was cutting back the nail (since it wasn’t normal I didn’t have to that often) and I ended up cutting it too deep, causing my toe to bleed and getting the nail to start ingrowing again. the past 2 years I’ve taken care of it, trying to keep it from getting infected and when I had to cut it, keeping it very clean to prevent major problems. But as I knew it was just going to get worse and worse, and with the prodding from Kelly to get it taken care of I went to the doctors last Monday to have them resolve the problem. Amazingly it didn’t hurt at all this time, the nail extraction took probably 15 minutes and I was on my way. I’ve now been soaking it and keeping it clean as the toe heals. Hopefully the nail won’t grow back this time and I can lead a normal nailess big toe life.
Other then that not much has been going on. We went for a drive yesterday around LA, that was fun. Not really anything going on just working a lot. I’ve been in Garden Grove primarily for the past 2 months, and look to be there for the month coming up as well. I’ve been to my office in Anaheim a total of about 3 times in the past 3 months. Kelly and I are planning to take a vacation in April once things settle down at my work. Probably up the coast to San Francisco and Monterrey.
