Hi! I’m Aahz and this category is all about me :) It’s where I post things that don’t necessarily relate to anything else here at Philaahzophy and are (probably) not of any interest to those who don’t know me personally.
Of course, it’s also home to several sub-categories all of which may very well be of interest to complete strangers. So I suppose you’ll just have to explore for yourself…

Car Rental For $1 A Day? Now, That’s An Advantage!
Posted on July 10, 2008 - Filed Under Road Trippin', Travel | Leave a Comment
Working so many hours I find myself seeking more and more interesting vacation ideas. These days my most frequent problem isn’t paying for the vacation itself, but losing the time at work (working in social services provides zero traditional benefits like sick/vacation time). This, of course, means I need to fly to places instead of drive, which leaves me stuck with either only visiting locations next to major airports, numerous taxi fees or exploring car rental options.
Sometimes the car rental agencies themselves…
Is The Postal Service Stealing My Scanners?
Posted on July 9, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz, Shopping | Leave a Comment
I mentioned in passing that my flatbed scanner died back in June. In fact, it died June 5th. I know the date exactly because I wasted no time in purchasing a new (used) scanner on eBay and paying for it that very evening to be shipped by priority mail. It never arrived. The seller’s only comment is “It should have arrived by now”. Really? After a month? Thanks a lot. PayPal claim filed.
By June 20th I had given up on the…
Innovative Discounts at Morey’s Piers, Wildwood, NJ
Posted on July 9, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports, Travel | Leave a Comment
It’s been a rough year for amusement parks with a sluggish economy and ever-increasing gas prices. That’s why you can now get two-for-one admission tickets to most any theme park in America, but would be hard pressed to be paying full price at the gate. The prize for most innovative gate discount must go to Morey’s Piers. One of the upcoming Wildwood events is the season finale of their Radio Disney concert series on July 26th. Typically, the concerts are free,…
X2 - Xtreme Roller Coaster Pain at Six Flags Magic Mountain
Posted on July 9, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports | Leave a Comment
Last fall I made an “emergency” trip down to Six Flags Magic Mountain to be one of the last people to ever ride X, their Arrow Dynamics created prototype 4th dimension coaster, before they did a $10 Million revamp and transformed it into X2. I was very much not impressed, rating it a 3 on a scale of 1-10.
In May I paid for Z and her mother to spend the night in Magic Mountain and get to be some of the…
Good News … Bad News
Posted on July 7, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz | Leave a Comment
Summer’s been great so far. Z and I definitely had some really rough times as we moved into summer, but not only did we work through them, but I believe I can safely say our relationship is currently as strong as it has ever been.
That’s the good news.
On the other hand, my lifelong problem of only having one thing going well at a time has reared its head something awful. In other words, the bad news is that pretty much everything else…
The HAPPY Box aka Yeah, I’m Back
Posted on June 15, 2008 - Filed Under Fatherhood | 2 Comments
So, it’s been almost a month. If any of y’all are still checking out, Philaahzophy I apologize for my absence. But I’m not going to apologize too profusely, cause frankly, that’s just what happens when you try to follow along with a manic-depressive blogger. Yep, I’ve been absent as a result of a string of overlapping depressive episodes as well as simply having a very busy last month. But, for now, I’m back.
The more astute amongst you may have realized that I’m…
