It brings a lot of satisfaction knowing that you're doing something good to help your country and the world. I know there's a lot of debate about our troop deployment, but I can attest that we're actually doing something good. I've seen it first hand with two tours of duty: one in Afghanistan and the other in Iraq. Now that I'm back home, I've landed a great job at a great company partly because what the army taught me. I'm a much more confident and able person than I was a short few years ago when I joined the military. For all of those reason and more, I say "Wow".

When my wife and I were first dating, I told her the legend of how my family originally got their last name. It was the story that was told for generations; the one that my father told me and his father told him. I won't bore you with the details but it included a boat race where my ancestor ultimately had to cut off his hand and throw it to shore in order to be the first one to have his hand touch dry land. Don't worry; I tell it much better than that when I have the time, and it's an okay story to tell on a first date. My wife seemed to like it anyway. In any case, when I was done telling my story I asked her if her family had a similar story since, like my last name, her last name was also made up of English words. She said she didn't have a story, so I took it upon myself to make one up on the spot. It included a princess, a kingdom-wide challenge, and a happy ending with a proposal from a peasant. (Don't worry, this story didn't include anyone cutting anything off of themselves.) My wife seemed to like it. Cut away some years later -- and I'm ready to make my own proposal to her. Since I am an artist, I thought the best way to propose to her was to make a painting. So I decided to paint a scene from the story I told her so long ago. (The one with the princess, not the guy who cut off his hand.) By this point, my wife probably forgot about the story I had told her, but once she saw the painting, it would all come back to her. After I was done painting, I planned the entire day for my wife. I wanted to make the day so special for her. We went to an art gallery and was looking at the various paintings. As a little game, we made up stories for the paintings to give the paintings some meaning. Then we came to my painting up on the wall. (Earlier that week, I had called this art gallery, and told them how I was going to propose, and they agreed to place my painting on their wall for the event.) I proceeded to tell my wife that the painting looked awfully like the story I had told her so long ago. I proceeded to retell it to her, and then when I was all done telling it, I fell to one knee and presented her with a ring that I had especially designed for her, which looked like the ring that was told in the story. My wife started to weep with joy. In a few more months, we'll be celebrating our 1 year anniversary, and I'll be planning something equally as romantic and "wow" inspiring. I hope to win the Vista copy because I am a graphic artist and I think the version control feature that Vista has would would be EXTREMELY useful. my wow moment happened when I asked my wife to marry me.

I climbed so high that everyone literally looked like ants -- okay, maybe I'm exaggerating -- maybe everyone more looked like matchbox cars. Nevertheless, I climbed really high. I wasn't scared or anything, but looking back at it now, perhaps I should have been. One of my earliest wow moments happened when I climbed a tree as a kid.

I just selected one this past week with a great price. I naturally selected the nVidia 88800 GTX. Wow, isn't my wife great! Now I just need a great OS to go along with it and I'll be set. Now that nVidia has issued vista drivers I should be good to go. Last Christmas my wife promised to buy me a new graphics card: any card I wanted.

I have three Jack Dempsey fish that lived in my 40 gallon fish take for 4 years. One of my Jack Dempsey was twice as big as the other two, so he will get most of the food and territory. Last summer, one of the small Jack Dempsey mysteriously died and I was afraid that the other small one might share the same faith. A month later, I notice this "black haze" that was floating near the small Jack Dempsey. At first I thought it was algae or water parasites floating, but upon closer inspection it was actually hundreds of baby Jack Dempsey! At this moment I said to myself, "wow, that is a lot of babies". Right now, I still have less than a hundred that is still living in the tank right. They are growing fairly fast and now my fish tank is starting to get crowded. That is my "wow" moment.

I've decoided when I found out about this that I would celebrate this day under my household. I've decided to celebrate my new family tradition, our family will eat nothing but food that is created as a pie: i.e. quiche, pizza, chicken pot pie, and of course any kind of dessert pie imaginable, etc. I say this is a wow moment, because I've never started a family tradition and I think this would be a fun and slightly educational day for my new family.

I first saw the apple 30" monitor and was majorly impressed, but it was far out of my pricer range: $3000 at the time. But I knew Dell would eventually make one; and they did. But I held off in buying one until the price went down a bit. And it did; considerably. I was about to buy it until I heard about a new update to that display, the 3007WFP-HC. I waited for that display to come out and finally it's here. I think today may have been the 1st day that the monitor was available on the US Dell site. I'll probably wait a little bit more, but I'm finally going to make my purchase real soon. What would be sweeter is if I could win and view Vista on this display.

It probably doesn't take much to impress a kid, but it really did seem magical. I know that's probably corny. this is probably not much but the first time I want down to Disney World, I was like “WOW”.

Then I tried snow boarding and that was DEFINITELY not a wow moment. I couldn't get a hang of it. The first time I went skiing, I would say was definitely an exciting and “wow” moment.

But then at the age of 21, I was told by parent that we were expecting another addition to the family. They had decided to adopt a little girl from china. (I guess there are plenty of unwanted girls in china due to the over population and the fact that the state only allows parents to have only 1 child and most want male babies.) Anyway, I was so excited to finally have a little sister. I guess my wow moment consisted on 2 moments: 1) the fact that I'd be getting a new sister, and 2) the fact that my parents are so giving that they'd want to help out a baby when they could be enjoying their prime of their lives.

I got to play with it and was literally floored by what I saw. I loved the 3d effect of choosing an open window. I loved the translucent effects. And I loved playing texas hold'em. I could definitely see myself improving my game if I had vista ultimate. It's definitely not "THE" wow moment but it's definitely a wow moment. If I actually wow vista copy I would definitely be having another wow moment! I had a wow moment when I was over my friend’s house and he was showing me his new Vista computer.

I and the rest of my family were all quite upset about it. My mother was traumatized over it that she vowed not to get another dog again. But then Christmas came and my little feet raced down the stairs to see all my gifts. We opened all our gifts; it was a good XMas that year. But then my dad got out one last gift. We all knew what it was with the noises that were coming from it and the little nose peeking out of the little holes in the box. It was a puppy! Nothing could take the place of Sassy but this little puppy sure did fill a void the whole family was feeling, especially me. I was awestruck - you can even say "wow"ed -- by this family event. The togetherness we all felt that Christmas. The love and joy we felt when we got a new family dog. my dog sassy had died one summer when I was a kid.
