Happy Halloween

Today instead of going to parties Harry and I decided to stay home and pass out candy to the neighbor kids. We bought an assortment of candy and when I poured them into the bowl I thought to myself "Man we are going to run out".

I dressed up in my Harry Potter outfit which the kids loved and passed out candy..well the night started a little slow, we got a few kids but nothing like I expected. Then between 8 and 9 we got the bulk of the kids and then a few more after 9. Over all we had about 25 kids, which I thought was a little lite.. and I was totally wrong about the candy.. we have a huge bowl full left. All in all

Biggest Dogs, Smallest Dogs!

A collection of the dogs from the biggest to the smallest, from the Chihuahua to the English Mastiff and the Great Dane! Eisenhower said, "What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight — it's the size of the fight in the dog." So very true!



SMALLEST

"Danka", a long-haired Chihuahua from Revuca, Slovakia, weighed in at just 27 oz (7.4" long). Danka is very small even for a Chihuahua! "Danka who isn't that keen on dog food only eats a small amount of dry food crushed up", Owner Kvetko said.

BIGGEST (LIVING)

"Hercules", an English Mastiff with a 38" neck, is the current record holder at 282 lbs. His guardian John Flynn (who ain't so shabby himself at 270 lbs) says he once saw a bird roosting on Hercules' head. Hercules just sat there blinking, says Mr. Flynn. "He's not the smartest dog in the world, that's for sure."

Biggest - English Mastiff Hercules



SHORTEST

Brandy", a Chihuahua from Florida, weighs 2 oz more than Danka but measures only 6" from the tip of her nose to the end of her tail. Now there's a dog who has a good reason to be afraid of the vacuum cleaner.




Shortest Chihuahua Brandy



BIGGEST (EVER)
In 1989, an English Mastiff named "Zorba" tipped the scales—or should I say demolished the scales—at a whopping 343 lbs at the age of 8.

An English Mastiff



TALLEST
Try telling a 7 ft tall dog not to drool on the dinner table. "Gibson", a Harlequin Great Dane from Grass Valley, California, is 42.2 inches when standing on all fours, and when he's on his hind legs he's positively stratospheric. This dog is so tall he has to bend down to howl at the moon. He's so tall he doesn't drink out of the toilet; he drinks from the bidet. He's so tall he doesn't understand "heel". You have to say, "Skull!" He's so tall... ok I'll stop now


Tallest Great Dane - Gibson



LARGEST
"Moose" weighed in at 286 lbs when he was named "largest dog in America" on Live with Regis & Kelly in Nov 2001. Moose's guardian Donna Vazquez considers that to be a low estimate because his butt wouldn't fit entirely on the scale.

Obama for President

sat down today and watched the Obama 30 minute video that was on last night at 8pm. First let me say I was a Hillary supporter but when she lost out to Obama I supported him. But after this video I am 100% behind this man. There is a charisma about him. When he speaks my heart swells. I teared up listening to his speeches and listening to what he has planned for our country. People compare him to JFK and I agree with them. He is going to make a FANTASTIC President.

Digiziting The Guild

I finally was able to sit down and hook up my camera to my computer and start to digitize The Guild BTS footage. I have 27 hours shoot so far.. it's going to take me a few days to get it all in. Once it's all in I can start to cut. I have a deadline for one piece by December 1st.. so the pressure is on.

New Website

Now that I have my own Domain (Geekyfanboy.com) I am revamping my entire website. The only problem is I don't know about web building. I used yahoo pagebuilder which is a very simple click and move type thing. My new website I am trying to build with Dreamweaver and HTML and it's proving a lot harder then I expected. I did manage to build my front page but when you expand or reduce the window every shifts around.. I'm sure I'll figure it out sooner or later but I don't expect to get my new site done any time soon. I'll keep you posted.

World's Most Strangest Underground Smuggler's Tunnel

Hundreds of Gaza merchants throng around the border area of Rafah every day to pick up merchandise coming to Gaza from Egypt via subterranean passages.
Gaza's markets are seriously lacking in merchandise due to strict Israeli restrictions on what the country may and may not import. Goods are dropped into and received from the underground network via elaborate pulley systems.
They are then carried down the length of the 1,000 metre tunnels. The network operators have the ability to handle all sorts of products including fuel, computers and clothes.
Underground livestock smuggling has increased dramatically ahead of Eid Al-Adha, a day when Muslims the world over slaughter animals and feed the poor to seek God's forgiveness. The tunnels also ferry people who cannot leave or enter Gaza, but no one may smuggle arms or drugs through the tunnels.
After travelling through the underground tunnel, the frightened cattle is sold, making a heavy profit for those who risk their lives in the dangerous tunnels. Palestinian officials say at least 45 workers have died this year because of cave-ins.
Hamas, which seized control of Gaza in 2007, see the tunnels as an act of defiance against Israel. They, therefore, endorse them and it is even claimed that taxes are imposed upon the underground routes.

Harry Potter Trailer

Today they released the new International Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince teaser trailer.... all I have to say is OMG. So many cool scenes that we didn't see in the US teaser trailer. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan but I can say this movie is going to ROCK!!!!!!!!

Visiting Dad

Today Harry and I went and visited my Dad. We haven't seen him since my birthday at the end of September. We normally go every other week but with The Guild shoots every weekend the past few weeks we haven't been able to met up. Today we took him out for Chinese food. It was alot of fun.

Happy Birthday Rick

Today is one of my good friends Birthday.. Rick Moyer from Aberdeen Washington. Rick and I have never met in person but met through a sci fi and fantasy forum called Treks in Sci Fi. He is one of the nicest and sweetest guys I know. I wish him all the best on his special day.

The Guild Shoot

Today was another Guild shoot.. got more interviews. This was an unusual shoot because we had to do pick ups in Hollywood area then drive to the Valley for the second half of the shoot day. We actually got out pretty early.. well not real early but it was still light outside when I headed home and that's always a good thing. It's sad but the shoots are starting to wind down.. only have a few more to go. I have to start cutting together my special BTS pieces.
