The Major’s Tweets

I finally found a purpose for my 5-year-old-plus Samsung cell phone (commonly known as ‘Junkyard Dog’). I can actually tweet with it, and I have done just that on a few of my tweets. Most of the time I simply type in my 140-character-or-less tweet via the Twitter web site, but sometimes I’m not near a computer – so I use my antique cell phone instead.

Going back to last Tuesday morning here are my TOP 5 most amusing (and interesting) tweets of the entire week – in case you missed any of them:

5.  Remembering my Grandmom (1915-2004) – http://wp.me/p837L-1fC – Some of the greatest memories of my early childhood. [Aug 29th from web]

4.  At this precise time next Monday afternoon I’ll be sailing away with @carnivalcruise waving adios a Miami. I heard that one !  [Aug 31st from web]

3.  3 out of 4 Americans agree – Tomorrow is NOT Labor Day. That would be a week from tomorrow. [Aug 30th from web]

2.  Pretty soon I will own a 2ND home – a 2-story townhouse in Clay County FL. That’s right – I’m one step closer to being Donald Trump. [Aug 26th from web]

1.  I believe that Beef ‘O’ Brady’s in Homestead has the tastiest wings in town. Prove me wrong if you dare. [Aug 26th from web]

Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

1.  I hosted some out-of-town visitors today at work. They are essentially my counterparts at a higher Headquarters level. It was a lot of fun hanging out with them and discussing how we do business here at Homestead (ARB). We also went out to Lunch at Homestead‘s very own LongHorn SteakHouse. YUM !

2.  Just as I predicted would happen once the Olive Garden next door opened for business there were not too many people eating Lunch at the LongHorn. Customer service was immediate, friendly, and professional. The food was scrumptiously delicious. I enjoyed the Parmesan Crusted Chicken with seasoned french fries and brandied cinnamon apples. It was a MASSIVE Lunch for my MASSIVE appetite !

3.  Meanwhile over at the Olive Garden the parking lot was jammed and crammed to capacity. That joint was totally jumpin’ – no doubt about it. I’ll wait until after the excitement dies down a bit to check it out for myself. The Greater Homestead area is starting to turn in to a little Italian mecca here in America’s Riviera with the Capri and Nazbar (down the road in Florida City), Mamma Mia, Olive Garden, and (soon) The Big Cheese on U.S. 1. It just so happens that Italian food is my favourite type of food, so I say to BRING IT ON !

4.  It’s the 7TH day of July, so you just know what that means !  No ?  Well it may not mean anything special for you, but for me it means that I am now a mere two months away from my next Carnival cruise vacation getaway. I set sail on the 7TH day of September (Labour Day Monday) on my 10TH anniversary Carnival cruise on the same exact cruise ship that I was on for my very first Carnival cruise during the Labour Day Weekend of 1999. GOOD TIMES !

5.  The 11TH season of “Big Brother” on CBS-TV begins this Thursday night at 8 PM EDT. It will air on Thursday nights, Sunday nights, and Tuesday nights through the middle of September. I don’t believe that I have missed a single episode of the series since it premiered 9 years ago in July 2000, and I don’t plan to miss any of the 30 or so episodes that will begin in just 48 hours. My Summer is just not complete until “Big Brother” is occupying the digital airwaves.

And that’s how I rock and roll on this Tuesday night. Thank You for caring !

Thursday Night Mini Thoughts

It’s time for the most spontaneous blog series of the week:

– My work week is done and over with.
– My extended 87-hour 4TH of July holiday weekend has begun.
– Next week will be a long and hectic work week for me.
– I’m actually looking forward to the intense action and excitement.
– Tomorrow afternoon I have a 4 to 6 hour appointment here at home.
– It’s with AT&T, and they will be here to install U-Verse in my home.
– I’m dropping Comcast just as soon as AT&T gets my TV and Internet up.
– Comcast has been my TV and Internet provider for nearly 3 years.
– They took over when Adelphia went away in October 2006.
– I’m looking forward to the new TV technology here in my home.
– I’ll be learning how to use all of my new equipment for the rest of the weekend.
– It’ll take me all weekend to check out my 220 or so digital channels.
– I went to Publix on my way home from work this afternoon.
– Publix is my playground.
– I’m happy and I know it, so I clap my hands – at Publix.
– It has a lot to do with the loud hit music that they play all throughout the joint.
– But really – it’s the food that’s screaming at me to buy it.
– I hear voices from both sides of the aisles – “BUY ME !!!”
– Be sure to hit up this blog tomorrow night for something new that’s old.
– It’s the series premiere of ‘The Major’s Friday Night Disco Party’.
– I’ll kick it off with one of the greatest disco music anthems of the time.
– Feel free to wear your favourite leisure suit to the party.
– You won’t regret it pal.
– But until then – REMEMBER THIS:
