Well well well, its been a really long time now. But dont worry, Im still alive, as you can very well tell by me writing this post. A lot has happened since my last post. Ive gotten my associates degree in engineering technology, so hooray for me. I plan on going for my bachelors degree next year, but still got a lot on my plate. Dont know how much more I can throw on there.

Ok, Im still gaming, and I gotta say that I still love my xbox 360. Although I did have the same problem that seemed to plague quite a few of us xbox 360 owners. I believe its called the red ring of death, but in a nutshell, whatever you call it, your xbox 360 starts to over heat and the green light on front turns into 3 blinking red lights. It totally sucked and really started to piss me off. I eventually had to send my xbox back to get another one, and that one has been ok since. But Im actually thinking about getting that new xbox 360, that black one that looks really cool. Here is a picture of it

I think it looks pretty cool, but I may let the dust settle before going out and buying one. Who knows if they will have to work out bugs in this one too? Or is supposed to be what the xbox 360 should have been from the get go? It kind of bugs me when they send out versions of the system when they know they will have issues, and come out a year or two later with a better version, usually smaller, and usually cheaper. Oh well, I guess thats the price we pay to have the coolest stuff right away :p

But yeah, just kind of getting back into the grind of things, looking forward to a nice weekend coming up, and thats all I gotta say right now.

Wow, its been a while since I last wrote on this thing. In reality, it will probably be a while since I write again after this. I met this chick over christmas break and she has pretty much taken up all my free time, and by free time I mean time that Im not working and playing on my xbox 360, still got my priorities to keep in check . Just kidding, and babe, if you’re reading this, you know Im just kidding

That being said, not a whole lot more going on in my life right now. Im taking this next semester off to focus on a couple of different things. So between that and spending time with my honey and gaming, I wont have a whole lot of time to spend updating this blog, not that I really have spent a whole lot of time on this thing anyways. When I started this, I did plan on keeping it more up to date and writing in it more often. But I guess thats the way life goes sometimes, and the one thing in this life that is certain is uncertainty. Hope I didnt go too deep on that one

So, hope to be writing on this blog again soon, just cant say when. So to all my loyal readers, (ya right), just hang tight. I will be back

Well, school is almost done for this semester which can only mean one thing…. more time for me and my xbox 360! I cant hardly wait as I just got call of duty 4. This game has been out for a little while, but I havent had much time to spend playing with finals and all coming up. Ive got a couple of friends who have got the jump on me though, so they are gonna kick the you know what out of me for a little while, but Im a quick learner

I have kinda been ignoring my ps3. I really only seem to use that thing for the blu ray player nowadays. The ps3 definitely is a good system, but it seems like the games I like best are mainly on the xbox 360, like halo 3. Still the best game Ive ever played. Of course, Ive been a big fan since the first halo came out on the original xbox. Thinking about that made me keep thinking about all the other systems Ive had since I was just a kid. I would say that the best system ever made to date would have to be the snes, just because of the quality of games that it made, mixed with great graphics and a nice controller. I would have said the original nes, and that definitely is still a great system, but going back and playing some roms on that thing and I fogot how bad the graphics were. Plus the games are hard as $&@#!. Those games never had any bloody save points!

Anywho, the systems of today have definitely come a LONG way from those days, but I still cant help bring up my snes emulator and play some good old street fighter!

While I was surfing the net today, I ran across some funny pics. Now, I know they arent exactly very nice, and I will probably being going to hell, but I couldnt stop from laughing. Here is one of the funnier ones

The reasons I liked this one the best, is because it is soo true. If you have ever gotten into an argument with somebody online through a forum or blog comments, you know exactly what I mean. And while I dont condone making fun of people that are handicap, this was just too funny to pass up. Sorry to anyone in advance if this does end up on offending you.

Well, its been a couple of months since I last posted, and I left waiting for halo 3 to come out for my xbox 360, and let me say ladies and gentleman, its been worth the wait! Since I got it last wednesday, I havent been able to put it down, which isnt too good for school. I even called out of work last weekend just so I could pull some all nighters! That was worth it as well, anyone who games knows exactly what I mean!!! Oh, and by the way,  I did get my alternator replaced, and all in under 2 hours, so I was pretty impressed with my self.

Here are some pics from halo 3. I snagged them from IGN.com, but they are good.

As you can see, this is by far the best halo ever made, and I would certainly hope so as it took so bloody long to come out. Well, Id love to stay and chat, but I gotta get back to my xbox 360!

Man, if you’re like me and you love your xbox 360, then you too cant wait for halo 3 to come out!! If you havent seen the single player preview for halo 3 then I highly suggest you head over to IGN to check it out here. Yes, I know Im a dweeb spending most of my time at IGN, but hey, when you love video games as much as I do, then what can you do. The only problem with halo 3, its not set to release until september, and thats when Ill be in school. Between school and work, I may not see a whole lot of play time until thanksgiving break, but I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Other then waiting for halo 3 to be released on xbox 360, not a whole lot going on right now. Well, I guess thats not true. My bloody alternator went out on my eclipse the other day. Its gonna cost me about $150 to replace it. Thank goodness Im pretty good at fixing things, or else I would be in serious trouble, as there is no way I could afford to pay a mechanic right now. Would probably rip me off anyways by overcharging. Its definitely hard to find a decen mechanic in todays world.

Well, gotta go spend the rest of my free day ripping out my old alternator and putting in the new one. Should only take me a couple of hours, if Im lucky! ;D

Hello All! This is my blog, all about me and what I think about this world. Im in school right now, and that seems to be going ok, but Im not really too sure where Im going with that. Im working at burger king, which kinda sucks but hey, it pays the bills. I got a cat which I love to death. I know, I can hear everyone thinking, a dude with a cat…., but let me say in my defense that I grew up with cats and thats just what I like. I had a real bad experience with a dog as a kid, and that didnt help either. But thats a different story for a different time.

I like playing video games, a lot, and tend to spend most of my free time either on my xbox 360 or ps3. I imagine I will be talking about video games a lot since that is my main passion, besides my cat, monstro. Kind of a weird name for a cat, especailly one as small as mine, but hey, its my cat!

Anyways, thought I would open this blog with just that and will be writing some more later. Thanks for stopping by world!
