Thank You To All Who Were Here To Support Me
I just wanted to thank all the people (family and friends) who were here to support me and my family during this difficult time.

From the makers of Superbad comes Pineapple Express. It gets released on August 8th and looks really funny.

Last night at around 6:30pm, my father, Harry Haroutunian, passed away from a brain tumor that he fought for 11 years. He beat all of the odds and against the medical expertise of one of the best surgeons in the country (I think). However, he couldn’t overcome the most recent tumor because it had metastasized to the other side of his brain.
Right before he passed away, he smiled quickly and made us realize that he is now in peace and he is no longer suffering. He is with his mother, father, cousins and friends that have moved on and they will take very good care of him in Heaven.
My family and I are going out today to set all the services. For the friends and family who follow my blog, I will post all of the information once it is finalized.
Until we meet again, I Love You Dad and you will always remain in my heart.
I was watching reruns of the NFL Cheerleader Playoffs and it was being held at Six Flags New England in “Springfield”, MA (it is actually in Agawam, MA). I knew that Six Flags was close to Connecticut, but it is only 1,000 feet away.
Today is the 13th Anniversary of the signing of the Armenian Constitution.
In High School, I worked at Boston based “Brigham’s Restaurant and Ice Cream Parlor” on Mill St in Arlington. My Grandmother worked at Brigham’s when it was Buttricks. The plant where the Ice Cream is made is connected to the restaurant I worked at by underground tunnels. It was the freshest Ice Cream anywhere since it practically just came off the “belt”.
They had an interesting flash page for the site and it was very interactive. However, last week, Hood legally bought Brigham’s. Friends who still work there told me that all of the “recipes” and “brands” will stay the same. I doubt that, they fired the ice cream makers. Also, All of the other workers were fired including the webmaster…see below:

If you are redoing the website because of the buyout, at least keep the so-called branding for the homepage. Step 1 to Hood ruining that which the Boston area loves.
I know this isn’t about America and it’s independence from England, but there was a lot of things going on today.
Two girls got hit by a train while sunbathing on the tracks. Destiny Phaneuf, 13, of Lebanon ME, lost her leg just below the knee; Rachel Brown 14, also of Lebanon ME, lost a foot.
The girls were cutting class and enjoying the sunny weather when the freight train came upon them. There’s no indication the girls were impaired by alcohol or drugs, or that their hearing was impaired by headphones.
What is wrong with people. Accidents happen, but think!
I know that I am just about two years late on the twitter phenomenon, but I am starting on it. Now that I have found “TwitterFox” for Firefox and “Twitterberry” for my Blackberry, it makes it very easy to send my updates.
I don’t really remember to update all the time, but I will get there. I have only 8 updates total, but I was the same way with this blog. I would update every few weeks, then every few days. I have now been blogging at least once a day since December 01, 2006.
I hopefully will continue to update on a regular basis now that I have it on my Blackberry and Firefox.
