Spouting 4

What a great weekend this has been. Went to a former colleague’s house party and pretty much just sat out on the pier. I was able to meet up with other friends and just talk, and pretty much chill. Saturday was a great day out here in Orlando, FL. Although it did rain later on in the evening, it was pretty much great throughout the day. Was able to take part in a boat ride on their lake, which I always enjoy sitting back on a boat and enjoying the ride. I made, what I call, “My infamy”, which is BBQ shredded beef. Suffice it to say, I received a good amount of compliments about it and it was gone in a few hours!  Very cool.

Later on, I left to go watch UFC 98 in which two of my favorite fighters, Rashad Evans and Lyoto Machida fought. Lyoto was able to defeat Rashad (who came in 18-0-1) with a knock out in the second round and take the title. Lots of speculation that Lyoto will retain this title for a long time. Personally, I was happy with either one winning, but Lyoto has a very nice, controlled style and now he is 15-0 with the title. A perfect streak, congrats! Sad to see Rashad get knocked out though. That’s life and as he said afterwards, it had to happen sometime and when it does you have to move forward. I agree with the moving forward speech, it’s what running without condition encompasses and I hope everyone will be able to continue doing the same.

Dunkin' Donuts can create Frozen Assets

For a couple of days now, a number of people online (myself included) have been trying to help a fellow Facebook friend and (for some of us) a former co-worker (who was laid off as well) win the “Create Dunkin’s Next Donut” contest. Her name is Kimberly Brooks and she has already been featured in one of the Orlando’s (Florida) local newspaper blogs, Orlando Sentinel. The article entitled, “Orlando woman needs your vote to win Dunkin’ Donuts contest“, has a lot more information on the contest as well as the other finalists. I won’t repeat much here (please visit the blog or Dunkin’s website for more information about the contest), outside of asking for everyone’s help with catapulting Kim to the lead. According to Dunkin’s donut contest site, she is currently in 8th place with her submission, “Frozen Assets”. This donut would be exceptional as it is stuffed with Bavarian mint chocolate. A few of us are also using Twitter to help promote her donut. This contest will continue through May 27th, 2009, so we do not have much longer (13 days to be exact) to help her win and you can only vote once per day. So, gather your friends and head to the Create Dunkin’s Next Donut website and vote each day until the end of May. If she wins, she’ll obtain $12,000 and her donut will be sold at some Dunkin’ Donuts locations throughout the country. I know I’ll be in line to grab one and you can to, if you remember to vote for her donut: Frozen Assets!
