Construction Update, Columbus Day, The Sopranos, and 9/11

Light at the end of the tunnel. Actually the rough opening to a gable vent in my new office/garage.

So I have been taking a break from the web development and graphic design game as well as GabrielOhhMedia.com while I continue my office construction project. August was  a very busy month! As you can see, I did not post anything on Blogger this past August. The good news is I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

My goal is to have construction complete by October 13th, 2014 or Columbus Day. Speaking of, Columbus Day reminds me of one of my favorite episodes of The Sopranos, Christopher. This has to be among the most clumsy episodes out of The Soprano's six seasons. Check out a clip:


Here the crew is sitting in front of Satriale's when Bacala states, "Listen to this shit...", and begins reading a story out loud from the newspaper about a group of Native Americans planning to protest during the Columbus Day parade. Silvio proclaims, "it's Anti-Italian-American discrimination!" Which I thought was funny. In reference to the freshness of 9/11, Patsy Parisi exclaims, "Some fucking balls, bad-mouthing America, especially now." Takes you back to when 9/11 was still an open wound in American consciousness, especially on this day of the post. I think everyone was taking into question their own American-ness at the time and not willing to accept any kind of criticism.

Anyways, should everything go well I should be done with construction by Columbus Day. After that, maybe I can take some time to watch this episode somewhere in deeper reflection.
