You want somthing free?

OK, so most of you know that I need a job and I know you like free stuff. I am going to combine those two into an easy contest, get me a lead to an interview that lands a job and you get a set of brand new irons. Now I am not going to wash the floor at your house for $5, there are some details below that have to be met. I am looking for something like a Desktop Technician, Tech Support, or Jr. Systems Admin just to name a few. I am looking to be the guy you call in your office when you can’t print and Facebook won’t load when you should be working. I am a Certified Microsoft Professional in Server 2003 and am also certified in Windows 7 and Vista. If you look on the “about me” section there is a link to download my resume.

The details:
In the computer field (the company doesn’t have to be a computer company, just the job)
Full time
Benefits are a big plus, but not mandatory
Pays at least $25,000 or $12 (making it pretty easy on you)
If contract, must be 12 months or greater
Prefer Mon-Fri weeks, but again not mandatory
Not against moving out of Michigan

So you ask, what is in it for me? The person who is responsible for helping me get this interview that turns into a job gets a set of new Callaway X-22 or Diablo Edge irons, 3-PW with steel shafts. This is pretty much the easiest and cheapest way to get a new set of sticks for the golf season and help your boy Knudson out. If you have any questions regarding the contest or jobs shoot me an email.

Kids are funny..... from a distance

So I was driving home today and drove by a school. There were a bunch of kids outside playing at recess and a couple of them were rolling big snowballs over the ground. Now we have all done this, but I never realized how much work it is. I saw this ~60lb kid trying to roll a snowball that was almost as tall as him. It was just funny to me that this little kid was busting his ass to rock this heavy snowball for really nothing. I mean it didn’t look like he was building anything like a fort. If it was me out there, I would have been a sweaty mess pushing a hundred pounds of snow for no reason other than I wanted to. I think the only game that might be slightly less useful is “kick the can”. Really, who pushes snow for fun!

Call of Duty is cooler than the NBA All Star Game

Ok, so recently I have noticed that while playing Call of Duty that people are so much better than when I started. I know you are all thinking that I am a terrible player or that everyone else has just gotten better than me. But I don’t consider myself a terrible player and I use the same strategies that made me a decent player just a few weeks ago. I don’t know if there is a website that gives you tips and such or if people know how to cheat, but they are kicking my butt. I hate to say that the game is getting less fun, but I am swearing more and getting close to throwing my controller across the room.

My usual second rant is about the NBA All Star Game. I mean how useless can an NBA game get. No one on that court even tries unless they have a chance to dunk. There is absolutely no defense played and even the guys on offense who don’t have the ball just stand around. I have to say that it is almost as boring as a WNBA game. Yeah the dunks are cool and all, but it gets old by the second quarter. Dwayne Wade was the MVP of the game, but for what? Making a few steals on lazy passes that I could have stolen I don’t think really counts. Nice job of the fans voting Allen Iverson in, because he has almost had a good season. I mean Tracy McGrady was almost voted in and HE HASN’T PLAYED A GAME THIS YEAR! What a waste of a weekend, especially for the lady who got kicked out of her $8,000 seat for harassing Kobe about not playing on his hurt ankle. Nice work scum bag!

Valentine's Day, hope your wallet is ready....

So I was listening to 97.1 today while I was out running a few errands and was amazed by the topic. People were calling in to say that Mike Babcock, Red Wings head coach, should be fired! Are you kidding me? This guy is having a down year for the first time in his career here and people are calling for his head. The Wings have been our best sports team, other than maybe the Shock, since the 90’s. I mean do people really loose all faith in a coach during one bad year, that isn’t even over yet. I was just amazed that these “fans” treated a winner like Babcock about the same as they treated Rod Marinelli.

I also was blown away today by the price of Valentine’s Day cards. I went into Hallmark today to get a birthday card and needed to grab a Valentine’s Day card for my dad to give to my mom. I can’t believe that a piece of folded paper with red and pink ink costs $5. And it is only the romantic cards for wives or girlfriends. Now if you are a kid giving a card to your grandparents, no problem $.99. So what makes the wife/girlfriend card cost 4x as much? I mean does a sappy love poem really command such a premium over the standard “Happy V-day”? Hallmark is turning into one of the oil companies with its gouging. Pretty soon we will all be listening to Matt talk about his new commercial campaign for $19.99 Valentine’s Day cards and Hallmark’s $2 billion 1st quarter profit instead of motor oil!

Super Bowl was ruined by tim tebow

So I was watching the "Big Game" and during the first quarter there was a commercial with tebow and his mother. It was quite honestly the worst thing I have seen in a long time, maybe even worse than the movie "Van Helsing". I was so filled with rage that I don't even remember what the commercial was for. I hope he goes on a "mission" to a 3rd world country and just never comes back. You heard it first here, he will be more annoying than Brett Favre in the coming years.

Well the Saints are champions and I am pretty happy for them. I wanted the Colts to win, but realize that the Saints at one point were as bad as the Lions. This now gives me hope that in the next 40 years I might see a Super Bowl with the Lions in it. Notice that I didn't say "win" that game. Now that football is done, MSU basketball and golf are my weekend tv time! Bring on the Masters!

Welcome to heyknudson.com

Welcome to the heyknudson.com blog, hopefully I can keep this going with thoughts and other things. I hope that the site looks alright to everyone, even this page. It is sometimes hard to embed stuff and make it look right on every computer/browser. If it doesn't look right let me know and I will look into it. Please feel free to send me stuff to post on here, I only have so many pictures and crap.

On a music note I was pleased to be told about the Jay Z and Beatles bootleg album called the Grey Album. This guy, DJ Mightymouse, mixed the 2 together and I do have to say did an incredible job. I would have never thought to mix those and get something worth listening to. It is clearly hip-hop but you can recognize the rock influence right away. If you have a chance listen to it, it won’t be a waste of your time.
