Who’s There? Land Shark… with a twist of lime…

Friday, June 27th, 2008

So I know that your first thought when you read “Land Shark” is probably in reference to the Saturday Night Live skit that originated during the first season of SNL with the voice of Chevy Chase as the land shark and narrated by John Belushi.

Landshark LagerBut no, actually I’m referring to something different that when served with a twist of lime is probably one of the best potent potables around.  Yes friends, I’m referring to Margaritaville’s Landshark Lager.

First off, let me say that I didn’t have my first alcoholic beverage until I was 21 years old and I am in no way shape or form advertising underaged drinking - follow the law, it’s there for a reason.  Nor am I stating in anyway shape or form that it’s okay to over-drink or binge drink as this only leads to further problems in life.

Nevertheless, not only is it one of the smoothest lagers I’ve ever had, it’s tasty with a lime and it doesn’t have a “mean” after taste.  So if you’re in the mood for something light and tasty, I recommend trying it out :)

Alright, so I’ve been doing a bit of thinking and basically what it comes down to is that there are many unfinished threads in my life right now and until I can reasonably say that I’ve completed those threads, I’m holding off on procuring the MBP.

From a financial standpoint, I’ve got the money to invest in the MBP, but from a usability standpoint I already what meets my functional requirements (wow, I’ve been a consultant for too long).

Nevertheless, current threads that I’m working to accomplish:

  • Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator 2003 - One more exam, 70-291, studying for it this weekend
  • Finishing Analysis of Tim Ferris’ Four Hour Work Week
  • Reading Andrew Connell’s Web Content Management Book
  • Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer 2003 - three exams past the MCSA
  • Microsoft Certified IT Professional 2008 Enterprise Administrator (equivalent of MCSE 2003) - three exams past the MCSE

Somewhat aggressive plans prior to MBP, sure, but I see this as a time of financial responsibility.  Who knows, maybe I’ll crack next week and go over to Tyson’s Corner and pick one up O:-)
