Hey guys,

Whats up?  I've never truely written a blog, hell I've hardly ever read any, so I decided to give it a shot.  I know its going to suck...but who cares, at least its going to help my gamer level, lol.  So here we go.

  October 31st, 2006

  Halloween baby!  Geez, its been so long since I've dressed up and went Trick or Treating or like I like to call it "bumming for Candy". :)  Now I just sit around most of the holidays and think of happy childhood memories...enjoy the years while you've got them guys!

 But anyway, today I find myself sleepy, but yet unable to sleep.  Why?  Because Im too excited and have too much anticipation.  Im like this every year...theres so many games being released around this time of year and I have so many on pre-order that I count down the days until they come out.

 Now I wouldn't be so excited if the games weren't know to be great games and fan favorites...games like Mortal Kombat: Armageddon (Boon, you disappointed me this year, you lying ba$t@rd!), Final Fantasy XII, Need For Speed: Carbon, and Smackdown vs Raw 2007...all which I have Collectors Editions paid off in full and cant wait until the game comes out and I can finally get my hands on them.

 Am I the only pathetic person who counts down the days, and ends up not being able to sleep the last 2 days due to anticipation and excitement? If so, I am most certainly a freakin LOSER!  Is that the only reason I cant sleep, NO!  Also the PS3 comes into play here...Im actually one of the lucky 400,000 whos going to pick theirs up on the 17th...along with about 6 games and an extra controller.  Just incase your curious, I reserved the 60 gig version.  C'mon Novemeber 17th!

 Anyway, as I sit here feeling slugish, restless, and tired; not knowing what the heck I am typing or rambling on about...I also find myself angry.  Angry at you Gamespot...why?  Because its been a week now an you guys havnt given me my badges!!! Im supposed to have the "Good Taste", "PS2 Afi-whatever-condo", "70 Tags", "Game Collector", and the "Old School Gamer" badges!  What the hell?!?

 Does anyone here know how I can settle this problem and get my badges...I know they dont mean anything, but if I meet the requirements to get them, I want them!  But anyway, I'll stop boring you guys...if you have any advice for me to pass time, or get my badges...let me know! Especially if you have a time machine :)
