Dont ask about the blog title, because i dont know...Anyway, i thought i'd just post an update on life really since ive never really done one before.

Well to start, ill just say that im still off school and dont start till the 23rd September. HaHa:P Ive found myself for the past month or two playing alot of Halo 2. And i mean alot, like to the same caliber as when it was released and i played online like crazy. Ive got a few very good friends on Xbox Live who exclusively play Halo 2, so what choice do i have:P

I have been getting a little annoyed though. It may be because of old age (im 18:P) or because i played the far superior Halo 3 beta, but for the past month or so i havent been playing as good as i used to be. Now back in 2004/2005 at Halo 2's prime, i would go into matchmaking alone alot of the time, and easily get into the 30's (ranks), but now im finding it difficult to get past 28 (my current rank). Im not sure what it is, but its annoying. Back in my prime, i would carry my team most of the time, finishing first and getting most kills. Now, i just seem to be average:( I rarely go negative, but im not "owning" as much as i used to, and it is frustrating. I just pray that this bad streak ends once Halo 3 comes out and im back to my normal self. I dont want to suck at online, or just be some average player. I want to dish out the ownage, and have loads of fun.

Anyway, speaking of Halo 3, it couldnt have picked a better time to release.....NOT! As i said previously, i start university on the 23rd September. Now this is my first year at uni, so the whole thing is new, and to make matters worse, im going to a university in England (i currently live in Ireland). So basically, i get a flight to Chester, England on the Sunday and register at the uni and get my house key etc. Then i find the house im staying it, meet the people im staying with, settle in etc etc. The whole week is a induction week, with loads of stuff going on. So while im getting used to uni, Halo 3 will release on the Tuesday in America. OK, so that doesnt really effect me unless i read something on the internet that spoils the whole story (im warning you guys!). On the Wednesday, it apparently releases here in the UK/Ireland. Now ive had the Legendary edition preordered since April off www.game.co.uk, so that will arrive at my house (in Ireland) on the Wednesday. Only problem is, ill be over in another country:( Whats going to happen is on the Friday of that week when all the induction crap is over, im getting a flight back to Ireland, where ill have the weekend to play Halo 3 on my HDTV. Then on that Sunday, i get a flight back to Chester, but ill take my 360, Halo 3 game and some other stuff as well since i wont be back home until Halloween probably. But i cant take my TV because its too big, so ill have to buy one there in Chester which will make a considerable dent in my £2000 loan. Anyway, hectic week education-wise, and to make matters worse, only the biggest game is releasing too. Oh well:P

Anyway, im really looking forward to uni. It is a little scary just thinking that ill be in another country on my own basically, new friends to meet, new courses to get used to etc etc. But it'll be good for me. A good wake-up call having to manage my finances so i dont starve to death etc:P

But thats not all! Another scare is that in my residence in Chester, i may not be able to get Xbox Live due to the internet setup. Its seems to have restricted internet or something, and knowing my luck, XBL probably wont work on it. But i dont really want to think about that now. Too big of a scare.

Anyway, im tired now, and im pretty sure ive wrote 'Anyway' like 5 time already. AAAAnyway, im off, l8rs.
