San Francisco will host Super Bowl L!

Just announced this morning at the NFL owner’s meeting, the NFL has selected San Francisco to host Super Bowl L in 2016 (an endcap to the 2015-2016 NFL season). The event will be held at the new Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara (home of the San Francisco 49ers). For those less inclined on roman numerals, it is the 50th Super Bowl, so it’s going to be super special (pun heavily intended.)

It also will be the first time in my lifetime that the Super Bowl will be local to me. Since attending an actual Super Bowl is on my bucket of list to do before I hit the dirt, I think this Super Bowl L will be the perfect opportunity get it checked off. I’d save on airfare and hotel accommodations because the stadium is just a mere hour worth of train ride from my house. For sure the tickets will be exorbitantly expensive but going to a Super Bowl, for me, will be a one and done, once-in-a-lifetime thing. Worth it, wouldn’t you say?

Even though it’s a little under three years away, I am already very excited and anxious for Super Bowl L, in my hometown (area). Time to save up those pennies, then!

Domain name renewed

Paid for another year of this domain name today, wasn't too bad of a price since it's not exactly a high demand domain. I don't think there's another Healy Chen on this planet so it's not like I've got competition clamoring for it. If there is, though, I'd gladly sell it to you for a princely sum. 

It's a lovely noise when I drive through my work's parking structure and the boxer rumble from my STI trips up numerous car alarms. Don't blame me, the car came like it stock. You car's alarm is simply too sensitive. Nobody responds to vehicle alarms anyways; they just annoy the crap out of you until it goes away somehow. Not sure why the modern car even bother with such nuisance. If a thief wants your car bad enough, it's effectively gone. 

 

First night of vacation

You'd think I'd be all outside getting into all sorts of trouble on the first night of my 10 day vacation, but ha! I just spent like the past six hours watching episodes of the acclaimed television series Friends

Yup, this is the life, isn't it.
