Domino's Obituary

        Today we are gathered here to celebrate the life of our good friend Mr. Domino's Pizza. We ask that God bless the dearly departed, and keep him. Tragically he died the other night due to a severe case of food poisoning. Sadly when he passed he was working on his master plan. Which was to be the largest distributor of good food, at a good price, for the entire world. Sadly I feel even though he could never be totally replaced, that Mr. Papa Johns Pizza will be able to step in and at least try to fill the void. Their great crust and garlic butter dipping sauce that comes with every pie will do well to smooth things over. I feel that Domino's had a very special place among the people. He was always there for the working man or woman. Anytime some one needed to get out of a jam, he was there to save  the day. Honestly he was such a good friend to all man, woman, and child. I know he will be truly missed by all. Sadly though I would have to say that he will be missed the most by our youth. Our college students. You know who you are. The boys and girls sitting there studying and cramming in there dorms, frats, and sororities. He was always there for you night and day. Whether it was for a snack to give you that extra energy to study, or for you athletes for a delicious pre-game meal. We all know he will be missed most by you. In closing I would like to say that even though Domino's Pizza is gone, his spirit will live on forever.


RIP Domino's Pizza
Gone But Not Forgotten

Dominos ordering audit

         I would definitely have to say that I much rather prefer the to order in then go to the store to pick up my food. First off I am not new to ordering in. It is my preferred way to receive my food. With things being so hectic at home and, also having a little one running around while at the same time having to share an automobile with my wife it is just more convenient and time saving to order in. Not to mention you are able to order out in so many different ways you can call in from your phone, or you can even go online and order in that way as well. I also found it very helpful that when you log onto the website to place your order you can see all of the different deals and specials they have running for that week or month.
       I feel that because, you have more time through ordering your feed maybe you have a chance to be a little bit healthier than normal. Maybe you have a chance to get in a walk, or a light jog that you wouldn't be able to had you have to go pick up the food instead of someone bringing it to you. There is also something gratifying about someone bringing something to you and serving you for once. I am sure that all parents understand the feeling having to take care of and serve everyone else before yourself but, now it is almost like the shoe is on the other foot. The two major points or differences I would have to say are the ammount of patience you have from being in the store to odering out and, the information that is provided. I am sure everyone can agree that after a long stressful day that no one wants to walk into an establishment and thirty minutes for their food. Thats why the whole vibe is different when your order because, you can just kick your feet up and relax. Also I was very impressed with the information that they provided online. For instance you go to customize your pizza and finally click on which size you want it tells you exactly how many people that size pizza will be able to feed. Also it is very nice to be able to have some nutritional information and look up just how many calories and so on are in the meal you just ordered. Overall I would have to say I will always prefer to order because, of the options it leaves available to me and ammount of energy I can save by doing it.

P.S. sorry the server is rejecting my pictures I will just email them to you.

healthy lifestyle


Use my I touch to motivate me while working out

Still playing lacorsse in somewhat of a competitive fashion
wearing proper gym attire to work out

try to get in workouts at home when I don't have time for the gym

trying new ways to work out besides the gym
 In today's society I feel as if there are so many different ways to be healthy in the modern era. I feel as if that you have to be on one of the million diets that are out there in order to be considered healthy. My view point has and really always will be, that for the most part you can somewhat eat what want as long as you work out hard in the gym to work off the calories. I will say though that to more I have progressed in this opinion that there are a lot of the same kinds of foods that are healthier than the others. Especially when it comes to a lot of the meats I consume.  I would have to say that  this is really one of the only things I have changed. I try to buy organic free range meats, chicken, and fish but, a lot of the times it is very expensive to be able to buy organic all the time. One of the things that I have definitely stopped buying are chips. the only things i will buy that are close to chips are organic tostados'. Also I would have to say that I cut down on a lot of sweets which is kind of hard considering my son is very young.
                The only things I would say that is different is that the fact I am not playing the sports as much as I did in high school, and in college. Since I am coaching though It helps. I still play but,  I guess just not as competitive as it once was.  Honestly, the changes I have made does affect me and my family  because, it still keeps me active even though I have a family and it also allows me to teach my son what I have learned and how to develop these changes into a healthy lifestyle for his future.

Dominos

            Today me and my wife Ashley went to the domino's that we normally order out from. And when I say normally I mean exclusively. On the way over there it was kind of a drag because, the weather was really crappy and we both had so many other things we needed to be doing. I went with my Wife because, we both needed something to eat before she went to pick up our son and, I had to take off to coach practice.
           I would definitely the stores location it self is very good. It is right off of one of the busiest streets in the city while also being very accessible. I must say though upon entry into the store I was taken back by how small and confined it was in the store. There was not very much room to order your food, never mind if you wanted to try to sit and eat your food there. I must say though the service was good, even though it was very busy. The whole carry out thing for whatever reason is very awkward for someone who primarily orders out. I am not sure if it is because our schedule is so hectic or because we live in a era of instant satisfaction.
           
           
            Things in the store itself were very busy. I noticed that every one had a certain stationed that they maned. Even though every one kind of helped each other they really only concentrated on that one station. One person maned the register and phones, another maned that pizza station, another maned the oven, and then one person took care of the deliveries. I would say that it differs from resteraunts in a couple different ways. First would be the mood or vibe in which you feel. I guess people assume you have more time if you get carry out from a resteraunt and therefore are likely to be more friendly. Also resteraunts have more people actually come in, sit down and eat there. Where as at a place like domino's they are all carry out or delivery so the vibe is really all buisness.
               I think that the brand somewhart gets me and people like me because of the fact that everything is so fast paced. I guess you could say I feel the same way as I did before this blog about the brand. Which is it is there for conveinence and not necessarily for taste. I would have to say that food was moderate to good. I am not sure if that was because they were so busy or becuase, they just had an off night. The presentation is always good but, then again it's kind of hard to make pizza look inedible.The things I orderd was a small cheese pizza, a fourteen piece boneless chicken wing, and a buffalo chicken toasted sandwich. I thought that the sandwich would be really good but, sadly i was disapointed. The order was for me, my wife and my son. After we got the food we took it home because it was the easiest place to eat. It was recieved well by everyone besides my wife who did not like her sandwich. Overall though it was a good experience and a good night.

P.S. for whatever reason when i try to upload my 5th picture it keeps telling me the server is rejecting the image. sorry I don't know how to fix this hope this dosen't affect anything
