big news

Well if you were wondering where is Omar and his lovely pictures? or Why has Omar gotten lazy on posting to his blogs? Have I got the answer for you. I like to call it a New Home! Of course I say that w/ the price is right type feel: A NEW Home!!

Shawana and I have been deep into the home buying process and moving in. We got a big house for the boys to run around in. Thats in St. Petersburg if you ever want to come and visit. We are officially classified as poor people so bring your check books when you come, just kidding. Our house is pink on the outside, my sister better describes it as a salmon color, I prefer stanky panky pink. You never realize how much shit you have and how much you don't have when it comes to living in your first house. Our first big hit, was window treatments. There wasn't a blind or shade in the whole house, which really sucks because in our family room half the total wallspace is windows. Our laundry room has got to be modified to fit our washer and dryer. Apparently it wasn't made for a standard size set. But that becomes a good thing, because its our first major house improvement project. We have to work together to make some type of raised platform.
I've also been educated by experience on putting up mini blinds and vertical blinds. This is also a good time to thank Home Depot, and remind them to leave their doors open because we'll be coming back. Also the boys have adjusted to their new surroundings, the shreak, giggle and scream for attention just like they did in the apartment, how precious!

I hate you less

Google of course is a huge player in the internet search engines. At work, our SEO guy has spent days and a good amount of company cashflow on getting our sites closer to the top. For kicks I'll do my part, because I want more money also. I work here! I did work on the trailer. Anways, I randomnly check where the keyword 'downbridge' shows up on all the search engines. When MSN switched to their new search engine I jumped for joy to be at the top and now the top 2 spaces are mine because the blogs help push traffic. I know it has been depressing how long my regular site has been in 'hiatus' so I won't jinx it and give a date anymore as to when it will be up. Some later entries will tell you why.
But the greatest news came today. I was opening up firefox for testing our site on, which is still a bust, and on the firefox/google homepage I typed in downbridge and about spit my water out when I saw my site linked on the first spot. Hot damn, I guess I don't hate them as much anymore. I wish I knew the secret of my success, because I'd write a book and get an NSX fromt he profits. But I still yahoo also!

New video on mtv from the Gorillaz. Pretty good band, but their videos are always these great 3D/anime creations. This video is visually amazing.
