Summaries of what has been going on

It has been awhile since I’ve really taken the time to write a post, most of my post have just been photo blogging. So I figured I’d take some time to post some short summaries of what has been going on in the world of Justin Sanchez.

Here we go…

After months and months of searching for a job in my field of study and passion I finally found an awesome job. I am the Social\New Media Producer at Sparkle Internet Image Solutions. I love my job and the people I work with are awesome and fun.

In the past two days Jennifer and I have been moving to our new apartment townhome which we are loving but we don’t love the moving part. We have everything moved (thanks to my dad and mom for all the help packing and moving stuff!) but now we must unbox everything and put things up.

Jennifer started cake classes a few months back and she has been cranking out cakes almost weekly and she makes some impressive cakes. She created a business called Jinxy Cakes and as I write this she is down stairs working on a cake for a competition.

A couple months back Tux (our cat) gave us a pretty bad scare when he seemed to be in a lot of pain. He showed symptoms of a bladder infection (thank you Google!), which is deadly if not treated in time (hours). We took Tux to the pet ER (2am) and that’s what it was but it had not progressed to the point where he was going to need surgery. So he got some medicine and all was okay.

Jinxy our other cat seems to think she is a dog more and more each day. She sleeps near my feet in the office and follows me from room to room. If I go to the bathroom she sets outside the door, haha. If she lays somewhere else she lays somewhere were she has line of sight to me. Jennifer gets jealous about it all, haha.

Yes I talk about my cat’s often, they are like kids to me and it’s fine if you think that is a silly thing to say. I am a pet lover.

My first cat, Kitty.

Kitty, originally uploaded by sp4rky.

I woke up one morning, about a week before Thanksgiving, from an upsetting dream that was about my first cat named Kitty (I know, bad name). The details are hard to recall but I remember that something had happened to my cat, I don’t think I knew what happened but I knew that I’d best prepare myself for the departure of Kitty and right after that I woke up. It was an odd dream and to make it even odder two days after the dream my Mom called me up telling me that Kitty had passed away two days ago sometime in the night. My jaw literally dropped and I told my mom about the dream which shocked her as well.

Kitty was old and her movement wasn’t so great in the past few months before her death and because of the dream I had I knew that if Kitty was to ever to pass that she would be pain free and that I should be happy for that. I know that this story my read odd to some but the moral of the story was worth the write. We may miss a loved one or pet but we should always be happy that they are in a better place. I know I’ve said that I wouldn’t make post about personal feelings and such but I thought this one was worth it.

My Bike Route for 8-26

Justin Sanchez — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 18:06:08 +0000

Using my cell phone and my bluetooth GPS I logged my route that I took on my bike today. Then when I got back I plugged in the data to Google Earth to see my route. I went further then I thought.

2.6 Miles
22 Minutes

Insider information from my bro.

Justin Sanchez — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 12:01:58 +0000

I had just parked on campus and started to walk to class when I noticed that there were a bunch of sirens going off in the city. So I sent my brother, who works in a city office, a text message and asked him what was going on because he usually has some idea.

Here is what was said:

Justin Sanchez: What is going on? Tons of Sirens.
Jeremy Sanchez: No idea. What kind of sirens?
Justin Sanchez: Police and firetruck type sirens. Sounded like it was over by Bryant and Second.
Jeremy Sanchez: Sea Monster came out of lake Arcadia and started attacking cars.
Justin Sanchez: Haha

Where is your dream vacation?

Justin Sanchez — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 09:02:58 +0000

Post links, in the comments, to where you would like to vacation to with all expenses paid.

Here is a place I came across on TheCoolHunter.net that I thought looked kind of cool, don’t know that it is my dream vacation spot though. It’s Huvafen Fushi and located in the Maldives.

What is on your Christmas list?

Justin Sanchez — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 09:19:33 +0000

Here is the only thing on my list:

Nvidia 8800 GT ( $289 at NewEgg.com ) – This is a video card for computers, which makes the image you see on your screen show up (for those non geeks). This thing though is designed for hardcore gaming which requires massive amounts of graphics processing power. The latest games coming out pretty much need one of these if you don’t want to feel like your watching a slideshow.

My Nvidia 7600 GS video card just isn’t cutting it anymore so maybe after Christmas I’ll have some extra cash or something to put towards this thing. Who knows maybe Santa will drop this under the tree when he finds out I single-handedly pulled 23 nuns out of a turned over bus that was on fire and wired with a bomb, which I also defused.

So what is on your Christmas list?

My hometown flooded

Justin Sanchez — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 19:14:46 +0000

Last night we had some monsterous storms from a tropical storm that had moved inland. After 3 days traveling inland the storm kept strong and was dropping rain at about 3inch per hour! And it was very weird to see the radar image of the storm and see what looked like a hurricane over Oklahoma.

Kingfisher, OK, which is my hometown is near a fork in a river and all the rain that Oklahoma received has caused the river to overflow in Kingfisher causing the biggest flood to my knowledge in Kingfisher. We had something similar to this when I was younger but it was no where near this bad.

I’ve been following the news and taking pictures of the tv screen of the events, floods and rescues in Kingfisher. Quality is not so great of the images but you can still see what is going on.

Management Information Systems is a snoozer.
