As I posted last week, all commissions earned from Brochin.net, until 24 February will be donated to The Brothers in Arms Foundation. So if you are looking for anything IT or Telecommunications related, what better feeling than to know when you purchase that the sales commission goes to some very deserving people.

Starting now, for the next month, 100% of all comissions earned through Brochin.net will be donated to the Brothers in Arms Foundation . After this first month we will be donating 50% of all profits to this foundation and others for at least the next year.

Please help me help these wounded warriors. I have personally served with one of them in the past. These warrior’s families need our help as well. Lets stop paying this lip service. Please read the following article and see if you have a reality check.

Last night we had Captain D’s and rented the movie Hurt Locker. First, I love the deluxe meal from Capt D’s. Second, the Hurt Locker is a stupid movie and a waste of time. The first 20 minutes was ok, but after that it spiraled so quickly and rapidly into Hollywood la-la land that it was unbearable. Don’t waste your time with this movie.

Been studying for the CompTIA A+ and currently studying about motherboards. I am really enjoying studying this because I had forgotten a great deal of things I had learned before and I am learning some new jewels as well. Gannon will more than likely get his A+ before I do though.

When a Veteran leaves the ‘job’ and retires to a another life, many are
jealous, some are pleased, and others, who may have already retired,
wonder if he knows what he is leaving behind, because we already know.

1. We know, for example, that after a lifetime of camaraderie that few
experience, it will remain as a longing for those past times.

2. We know in the Military life there is a fellowship which lasts long
after the uniforms are hung up in the back of the closet.

Before you get all impressed with the fact that we have nothing better to do with our time than to watch an entire season in a week, if you look at past posts, you will see Gannon and I watched Season 7 in a weekend. Season 8 starts next week, and we are looking forward to it and hoping to knock out Season 2 before then.

Started studying for the CompTIA A+ exam yesterday. Not really impressive I know, but I figure I might as well since I already have Net+ and Sec+. Having A+ should round everything out and then maybe I can work on my Server+ or start working vendor specific certifications.

I know I was supposed to post a review after every episode of 24, but the time has not been there for that. Why you ask. Because, like I said, 24 is like crack, one episode is not enough. We are ready to start the last four episodes tomorrow after I am home from work. We basically have watched an entire season in less than a week. I was planning on typing as I watched each episoode, but just didn’t work out too well.

The 24 Everyday schedule started tonight. We watched episodes 1 &2 of season 1. It is really neat how much the looks of Keifer Sutherland, and a couple of others that are still in the series, have changed. Jack looks much younger as does Tony and Kim. However, watching these episodes reminds me of why I was hooked immediately on 24 like it was crack. Like a crack addict, I just can’t stop at one.

Was talking with Gannon last night. After we finish 24 Season 7, we are thinking about doing one 24 episode every day starting with season one. After each episode, I was thinking about writing a review of each episode on this blog. So we should finish Season 7 today and start the “24 Everday” with Season 1 tomorrow, Monday our time. I will create a new category labeled “24 Everyday”, then add sub categories for each season.

Pulled this from one of my favorite sites, JibJab. Yes, it is true, the modern news is Bullshit. What ever happened to presenting facts to viewers and readers and letting those viewers make their own decisions. Instead the “news” shoves politcal agendas down viewers throats to herd them like sheep…and it works.
==================
Celebrities in rehab, political punditry and a mauling at the zoo – this is what we’re calling news these days! This funny satire on broadcast news features Larry King, Bill O’Reilly, Geraldo Rivera and the rest of your favorite talking heads. This just in: modern news is a joke!

Really weird watching people in the states getting ready for New Years and we are already 9 hours into the new year here. Started uploading the pictures from the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, they can be seen on my Facebook profile http://www.facebook.com/joebrochin .

Sitting around watching college football off and on the rest of the day while Kim and Gavin watch the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie….ooops….no football. Gannon and I decided to buy the Season 7 of 24 and bring it home. We are half way done already. We watched it from about 1pm to 10pm. Love the series, in fact, my favorite of all time. I just pray we really have Jack Bauer’s out there doing the dirty work to stop the monsters that go bump in the night.
