Do You Know Your Ancestry?

My last post in 2012 is about knowing one's ancestry. There is a website, ancestry.com, and you can learn about your ancestry at that URL. URL is uniform resource locator, or global web address (in layman's terms). My friend, Amit, mentioned that he has a friend that works at ancestry.com. Ancestry.com is the main topic of discussion today. Ancestry.com is a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ stock exchange. The company's stock symbol is ACOM, and their headquarters is in Provo, UT. The company has a market cap. of over $1 billion, and the website is the world's largest resource for family history. The website is known for being a great portal for genealogy. Many of my friends would mention that my family history traces back to India. They are correct, but RSG wishes it was from Italy. You know the ganpuleone family! Anyways, let's get back to the topic at hand. When Rahul searched for his parents & family history on ancestry.com, his parents and other pertinent information showed up. It was incredible to see how accurate ancestry.com is. The family tree was displayed, and it was very correct. In closing, ancestry.com is a great website for learning about genealogy. Genealogy is an account of the descent of a person, family, or group from an ancestor or from older forms. For next time, Rahul hopes that you can learn more about your ancestry in 2013. Because at the end of a long day, it is best to remember what you learned. The more you learn, the more knowledge you gain. True words, indeed!

Long live the Gutterball!

Well, Rahulio was at the bowling alley on a Saturday night. What!? RSG does not bowl that often, but his buddy (the Nittany) wanted to kill some time. Big Daddy and the Sparta were quite interested in the sport too. All of us drove to the lanes. The Nittany won most of the games, while Sparta and Big Daddy duked it out for second place during the contests. Rahul chilled with his friends, and he kept watching the music videos on the projector screens. At 10:00 pm, the music came on and the lanes had additional lights for "cosmic bowling experience." The DJ played rap music exclusively, but there was some additional rock or country tunes. On another topic, one of the highlights of the night was "the gutterball." The Sparta threw a record 14 gutterballs. He was in rare form. Another highlight of the night was the many tattoos on the beautiful women in the next lane. The woman would have looked prettier without their skins, pieces, or sleeves (names for tattoo art). The final highlight is RSG's good memory on display. He remembered Mike Posner's songs, and RSG is now known for having a "good hard drive." Remember that a good hard drive is the equivalent of good memory. In closing, it was a great time at the bowling alley. It was an exciting way to spend a Saturday night in December 2012. Hope this final month of 2012 is not replete with drama (from work, relationships, or other situations), and with happiness instead.
