Yeah it's been quite a while since I have been really active on here. Just been busy. Working everyday 8-4:30 at a local greenhouse. Which is pretty cool. They got me planting big giant trees at peoples houses. In spare time, just been playing 360 and hangin out. Playing the original NG for X-box currently. That has got to be one of the best action games I have ever played. The combo's are sweet, the enemies are tough, and for the time it was made, the graphics are pretty damn good. That will be a game I will go back to over and over. Started playing it cuz I was gonna get NG 2 a couple weeks ago, and never had enough spare money to do so. This weekend I will pick it up, but I don't think I'm gonna open it yet. Wanna finish the first one first..... Have any of you guys played NG 2 yet? If so what did you think about it? I've heard a lot of mixed reviews..

Finished GTA IV like 3 weeks ago, I had it since the midnight release that Best Buy was doing out here in IL. I've gotta say that has been the best GTA yet. IMO of course. Just wish there were a little more activities to do.........

Also I bought Assassins Creed like 2 weeks ago, and I have to say that it was cool for like 5 or 6 days. Now I wish I didn't buy it. Shoulda waited for NG2. I was bored, and needed something to do on the weekend.

Hey guys just postin a blog to let you all know whats been goin on. Lets start w/ work.... Well Best Buy I work at has went over the budget they had, so in another words there was 4 guys cut from the depts. I work in. Sad to say that I was one of them. I don't work until next Sunday at 6 am! This is a major bummer. I just bought some new subs for the car, and it would be nice to make the money that I spent on those things to put back in my savings. Not to mention pay the bills I have..... Oh well. I don't really know what to do with myself now that I don't have to work everyday. lol. This sucks. I actually miss all the people at work already, and this is only the second day off. The main ones im missing are the girls that work at the checkouts. lol. I dunno, I hope to ride my dirtbike this week, but the dude I ride w/ lost his gas cap the last time we went out there, and won't get off of World of Warcraft for anything. As a matter of a fact, he starts at my place tomarrow. I don't get how they can hire new employees, and not work the ones they already have. It is what it is. I'm really looking forward to GTA 4. I gotta preorder it so when it comes in, I will be sure to get my copy. Thats about it here. I started playin Forza 2 yesterday, and it's pretty cool, but it just makes me wanna play Gran Tourismo. So the new thing I want is a PS3 w/ the new GT when it comes out. lol. It's always something.........

Hey all it's been a while since I have been on here. I got a game that has kinda taken over my life about a month ago. lol. I'm trying to get better about the whole situation, I haven't missed a day of work (even though I wanted 2). Speaking of work, I got a job about a month ago at Best Buy. It's o.k. I might go and work for the greenhouse that I used to work at, which is closer to my house- depending on what they are willing to pay. I just thought I would come on here, and see what everyones been up 2, and make a blog of my own. Not too much new here, just had the day off today, and was bored. I told myself no World of Warcraft for today. Just to see if I can do it. lol. Well its about 4:30 now so it looks like I am on the right track.

Wow is all I can say. I have never played a game this good before. This isn't a game it is a life. Very dangerous for me. I have thoughts of quitting my job, and not doing anything productive in my life, but helping others do quests, and leveling up! Haha. I can't believe I have not played this game sooner. I got my Lay-z boy chair pulled up to the comp, some sweatshirts piled up to prop my left arm up, and a pillow under my right arm- so I don't get sore from those 12 hour days running around! lol. I just thought you should all know, I've found the BEST GAME IN THE WORLD!!!!! lolol. Seriously if you haven't played this masterpiece, check it out, and join in the Realm Uldaman. Prolly won't be on 2 much, but to check messages, contribute to the union. But if you sign up, add Themink to your friends list.

Yep it's that day tomarrow. It will be just another day for me. :? Man I heard from this chicks sister that goes to my church, and I've been trying to talk to her for a while now. I haven't heard anything from her. Damn man, I don't even wanna think about her. She is just gorgeous, smart, and funny. She is the ONE for me, but kinda discouraged about the whole situation. When I first met her, we hit it off big time, but some sh!t (me) got in the way, and things between us have never been the same. IDK, she kinda knows about my past and stuff, but IDK if she can accept it 100%, but that's not a fact, that's probably me just reading into stuff too far. I mean from my point of view, If I knew someone who was running w/ gangs, and drugdealing, and if I was the good kid (I am now, but I wasn't) I don't know what I would think. But anyways, I'm just gonna try to stay busy and keep her off the brain (if possible) lol.

What are your guys plans!?!?!?

lol. The topic states it. Today I had to file taxes- so that wasn't really exciting. The good news is: That if everything goes to plan, I should get about 1000 dollars back. That would be a nice chunk of change to put in my pocket. Other than that, not too much new. Still playing Diablo 2 when I have time. That game is pretty sweet. Not really that easy though. The difficuly level rises up pretty good as you progress through the game. Still haven't fixed the bike. I gotta go to Poisonrain87's house to get the battery out of it before it dies. That would suck if it did, because they are like a hundred bucks a piece. So if I don't have to buy a new one, that would be nice.

Hey guys I don't know who I invited to the union previously, and who I didn't. The Union is dying out, and it would be cool to get this thing up and running- at least some activity! lol. It's pretty general. It's titled best gaming for the Playstation, and whatever else you play. So it's not too specific. Just kind of a place to go and talk about whatever. Goosey was the union leader, and resigned from the position, and left me in charge. So I figuered to kind of spice things up I would change some stuff around, and see if anyone gets interested in it. It would be nice if new members would join up. I don't really know how stuff is going to go as of right now, but I am open for new ideas, and would take a group concience on whatever you guys want to do.

Wow I finally got this game to work after about a year of jacking around with it. I guess I needed to install LOD to play Diablo 2 when I bought the battle chest. I played this game for maybe 7-8 hours, and I'll have to say that this game is just a masterpiece. It has great bosses, a decent story, and smooth and easy play mechanics. The graphics are a little outdated, but considering that the expansion came in 2001, and Diablo 2 was released in 2000 they're a good enough. Overall if you have not played this game, I would suggest go out and purchase the battlechest. Diablo 1 is ok, but I definetly like LOD better. There is a ton of hack and slash action, and looting galore. I don't want to get too far into it because I might end up writing a review down the road........ PLEASE BLIZZARD MAKE DIABLO 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait until I get my W2's in because the first thing I will be buying is the 42 in plasma to play this game on! lol. I also have a big credit card bill I need to pay off too. Oh well, I figure it out when I get all the money back! That's about all the gaming I have been up 2. I've actually had a little bit of time. I'll talk to you guys soon.

What's up guys? Not too much here. Just been hangin around. Went to a Junior College, and tried to enroll in some classes for Feb. and sign-ups ended yesterday!lol. Oh well.I took a Career Interest Inventory test to see what I would be interested in what career I would like to go into. Yeah I'm 20 yrs. old and had no idea what I wanted to do. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there. I'm really happy I went. Picking a career probably won't be too hard because I like a lot of things. I was thinking about becoming a police officer - what I wanted to do ever since I was little kid. Then I got all wacked out, and was scared of them for a long time. lol. The city of Crete in IL. is hiring for an officer right now, and I was talking to one of my friends and he said " They don't make you have a Bachelors' Degree when your hired, but you have to have one by a certain amount of time." So I'm going to go over to Crete about 20 min away from my house tomarrow to check it out. Other than that not too much is new. Just trying to stay in good spirits.

It's funny I use Gamespot as a MySpace now. lol. I'll get back to gaming soon I still wanna play Ninja Gaiden but I haven't had time. I might get some tomarrow or something. It's been a while since I have gamed. About 2 week's nah take that back, I played Mortal Kombat 2 for Genesis today. Man great old memories. I haven't played MK on Gen. before so I had no ideas what the buttons were at first. I remember playing it for Super Nintendo. That was like the best game I have ever played at the time. I'm sure some of you guys remember the good old days of MK. The last one I played was Deadly Alliance for PS2, and that was pretty cool, but nothing like MK in it's glory days!

That's about it. I gotta ride my dirtbike soon, or I'm going to have to clean the damn carb. Anyone who rides or has any exp. working on motorcyle engines knows thats no fun.

Ahh well it's like 3 days later, and for the last few the withdrawals have been a MOFO! Oh well, I'm feelin better now. So no rehab,Makin a decision to go forward w/ my life no matter what. It's not likeI'm a stranger on how this stuff works. As I said, Iv'e been trying to get clean for about a yr. Just sick of the same old bullsh!t that only gets worse everytime.Been thinkin, and realized what's important in my life. It's not my Car, My 360, my Dirtbike, or the kind of clothes I have or whatever. I mean that kind of stuff is all great to have, but it doesnt make ME happy. I can't speak for anyone else. The things that are most important to me are the Family, and friends I have. Building relationships w/ other people. Ha I laugh when I write this, cuz it's comin from someone w/ gang connections w/ Gangster Diciple's in Chicago, and just a drugee who doesn't play well with others..... But hell, I am what I am. On another note, things ARE gettin better.

Met a 26 yr. old, and hit it off w/ her. Shes got good things going on in her life, and IS single. She seemsreal down to earth, and has a good head on her shoulders.I'm gonna see if she wants to go out next Friday. She's got her own Apt.about 5 mi.from where i'm at,and no kids. So it's lookin good.i'm pretty busy this weekend: got family stuff to do.Man this girl is just beautiful, and 6 yrs. older than me. I can't believe that things look pretty promising. I mean, I'm not a bad lookin guy (not tryin to be conceited or anything), but damn. The age is just a shocker. I've never dated any girl thats been more than 2 yrs. older than me. The funniest part is: thatshe gave me a haircutin the salon uptown. LOL. I get a haircut once a yearBTW! I guess it wasjust my lucky day.I'm 99% positive I'll get a date w/ her. Just met her the other day, so im gonna wait a little bit to call her. Can't believe a 26 yr. old would consider a 20 yr. old, but hey, IM ALL FOR IT!! ( I only look about 18,19, so she says.)

Haven't been playin any games at all. Due to all thesh!t that's been goin on. Just tryin to stay busy. When I got more time, I wanna play Ninja Gaiden. Other than that, nothin else really goin on. Tryin to see what I have to do to get into college. I wanna go to some tech. school, but still undecided. So Im honestly gonna look, and make some kind of decision. So I can get out of my grandparents basement. It's like an Apt. here, but im ready for somethin else eventually.

Well Thanks for reading guys, and hope to get to your blogs soon.
