This was one fun weekend.

Friday night: I went to a Rockets game with a bunch of coworkers. Our seats were in row A. These sound like good seats, but in reality they were the worst seats in the house. They were located directly behind the floor level seats, but weren't elevated, so you had to stand up to have a good view of any player besides Yao Ming and Shawn Bradley. However, in every negative there is a positive. In our case the positive was that for the first 3 quarters we had the Houston Rockets cheerleaders directly in front of us. In fact. they also "blocked" our view of the game. Being in a group of guys, we didn't complain too much. Also, you know how they have those little contests going on during basketball games for prizes? Well, one of my coworkers actually got to participate and ended up winning 2 round trip airplane tickets to the destination of his choice. After winning, he tried to dance with the cheerleaders, who didn't join in.

Saturday night: Had a few interesting conversations with coworkers. Topics of discussion went from the many homosexuals in the firm (basically our most powerful people), to the most intelligent people in the firm. Shallow topics of coversation, but interesting nonetheless. Also, one of my coworkers shared that he was a suspected Al Qaeda member for a while after police saw him jogging away from his car that he parked in front of a federal building. In the span of one hour, the police interviewed his parents, his neighbors, and a ran a background check, before searching his car. Interesting huh?

Interesting Fact of the Day: Karl Marx was once a correspondence for the New York Daily Tribune.
