Well I've finally made it through Mass Effect after about 40 hours of being a complete jerk and screwing a lot of people over. Unfortunately it wasn't in me to be a complete ass to everybody during the first play through. So I'm going through it again to get the level 50 and 60 achievements as well as the kill count for all the guns. I figured this time would be a good chance to be a total butt hole to everybody and see how it works out for me. I must say, with the exception of the game trying to load at some weird times, it was a good game and i see why everybody made a big deal out of it. It looked good on the new television and i'd love to play it again once the new sound system is installed. I'm still trying to do better with the biotic powers and coordinating them with my awesome gun skills...:P...but i'm hoping my second and, possibly, third play through will help me get better. My only real complaint was trying to navigate on the planets with the Mako. How anybody can drive around in that thing effectively is beyond me. It took me a few deaths to realize the turret on it can't aim down. Plus, driving around with the left analog stick really made it a pain. Granted, that damn thing was spunky. I've never known any vehicle past or present that could drive straight up the side of a mountain. But spunky or not, it definitely got a thumbs down from me. Overall, it was a good experience. I have Batman Arkham Asylum to play through too. After i finish with Mass Effect, i'll jump on Batman.

For you to read



We really do love you all :oops:

Wow...just wow. I don't know how else to say that this is complete and utter BS. Mind you, when it comes to crap going on behind the scenes, i may get a little frustrated but i let it go. I TRY not to let it bother me. But lately...i just don't know. I've talked to spazz (Andy) every once in a while and i knew his frustrations. Granted, i didn't agree with him airing his frustrations in his blog, but i sympathized. But now this...THIS??? I just honestly don't know what to say other than god damn GS. This is epic beyond epic. /blog

So yeah, for those of you that have known me for more than a few months, you know around this time of the year i head to (hopefully) sunny Miami to hang out at the Dade County Fair. Honestly, after working the fair in town here, i thought i would be traumatized for quite a while. I guess 4 months is enough to get over it :P. The plan is to leave work early Thursday afternoon , pick up a rental car, and jump on the road. I have a cousin driving with me to make the trip a little easier. I figured since he wants to visit one of his friends in Orlando, he could take us that far. I don't mind driving the rest of the way. I do plan on heading to the beach while i'm there, and hopefully i can take some sexay pictures now that i have my new camera. I hope everybody is good while i'm away. Maybe i will bring you all a treat back if nobody gets in trouble ;)

I don't know if this weather will decide to be warm or cold. Right now, it keeps leaning towards cold for the most part with a day or two of warm. This is really not doing any good for staying healthy. Last night, it got down to 29F...and yes, this is in Florida. WTF? I was always taught to believe this is the sunshine state. So many lies. From the looks of things, we might be like this for another month and some days. So I guess that means no trips to the beach for me.

A little bit of teh funny for your Monday ;)

1. It was mealtime during an airline flight. 'Would you like dinner?', the flight attendant asked John, seated in front. 'What are my choices?' John asked. 'Yes or no,' she replied.
2. A flight attendant was stationed at the departure gate to check tickets. As a man approached, she extended her hand for the ticket and he opened his trench coat and flashed her. Without missing a beat, she said, 'Sir, I need to see your ticket, not your stub.'
3. A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store but she couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked a stock boy, ' Do these turkeys get any bigger?' The stock boy replied, 'No ma'am, they're dead...'
4. The police officer got out of his car as the kid who was stopped for speeding rolled down his window. 'I've been waiting for you all day,' the officer said. The kid replied, Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could.' When the cop finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way without a ticket.
5. A truck driver was driving along on the freeway and noticed a sign that read: Low Bridge Ahead. Before he knows it, the bridge is right in front of him and his truck gets wedged under it. Cars are backed up for miles. Finally a police car comes up. The cop gets out of his car and walks to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says, 'Got stuck, huh?' The truck driver says, 'No, I was delivering this bridge and I ran out of gas.'
6. A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. 'Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!' A smart-ass student in the back of the room raised his hand and asked, 'What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?' The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering. When silence was restored, the teacher smiled knowingly at the student, shook her head and sweetly said, 'Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand.'

Oh yeah! Everybody show each other some love 8)

...hope you enjoy :P

How Fights Start

My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels.
She asked, 'What's on TV?'
I said, 'Dust.'
And then the fight started...
******************************************
My wife and I were watching "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" while we were in bed.
I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?"
"No," she answered.
I then said, "Is that your final answer?"
She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, "Yes."
So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."
And then the fight started....
******************************************
Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage.
I hooked up the boat up to the van, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour.
The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day.
I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed.
I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible."
My loving wife of 5 years replied, "Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?"
And that's how the fight started...
******************************************
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.
She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.'
I bought her a bathroom scale.
And then the fight started...
******************************************
After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security.
The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age.
I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home.
I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.
The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'.
So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair.
She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application.
When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office..
She said, 'You should have dropped your pants.
You might have gotten disability, too.'
And then the fight started...
******************************************
My wife and I were sitting at a table at my school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table.
My wife asked, 'Do you know her?'
'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend.
I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.'
'My God!' says my wife, 'who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?'
And then the fight started...
******************************************
I took my wife to a restaurant.
The waiter, for some reason took my order first.
"I'll have the steak, medium rare, please."
He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"
"Nah, she can order for herself."
And then the fight started...
******************************************
A woman was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.
She was not happy with what she saw and said to her husband,
"I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.'
The husband replied,
'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.'
And then the fight started.....

For those that have not heard about the Valentines Day E-Card contest, i've included a link for you :P. So all of you graphically inclined people get to work. I want at least 10 Valentines Day cards in my inbox, no excuses. And don't be afraid to share a little bit of teh hawtness with me :oops:

Guess it's ok for me to speak up now since i'm pretty much back to where i should be.

So back in November, my apartment was robbed. I'm sure you can imagine, that sucked. It was during the time i was working at the fair and getting home every night well after midnight. The night i was actually vandalized, i didn't return home from work until about 3am. So the robber had plenty of time to go through my place and take what he thought was valuable. My Wii was taken, as well as my 360, some video games, my laptop, my camera, and some other electronic stuff.

Thankfully i was insured so i wasn't completely out of luck when all was said and done. I'm not sure if anybody noticed, but my Xbox Live gamer card had not been updated for about 2 months. That was the reason why. Thankfully my parents helped me replace some of my stuff. So i didn't have to use all of my insurance money to replace everything. I just got a new 360 Elite and a new HP laptop, and after some awesome gift giving over the holidays, i have enough to (hopefully) get Netflix on my 360 for a year.

So i thought i would share that with you all since i've had enough time to get over it and get myself back to where i was before
