Three Kings Past, and my CHAOS CLAN!

The holidays are over and done with and I really hope you all had a good one. My birthday came and went another year and I celebrated the Three Kings on Janurary 6th. As of late I have been playing WWE on PS3. I went and bought it even though I have the 360 version because I heard it was way better and has tons of exclusives. All the rumors were true.

I was wondering what are some games your looking forward to this year. Also my wife asked me to buy her a nintendo wii for Valentines day witch is cool. So then we will have all consoles. My homies birthday is today as well. So happy Birthday zblood.

Also your not going to believe this, you all know how I have always had internet problems and was always calling and yelling at my provider. Well check this out, my 200 dollar ****** wireless router exploded. YES I SAID EXPLODE! It was crazy. However I am so glad it did. Ya it sucks im out 200 bones but now my internet is coming directly from my cable modem. It works much faster, and my online gaming is perfect and there are no security or nat restrictions what so ever. The only downfall is though that I can only plug in one thing at a time but its worth it so I can have a perfect connection.

I am buying Lord of the Rings on Janurary 13th when it comes out for PS3. I really havent been on my 360 that much this past week. I bought left 4 dead on 360 witch is honestly the best game ive played on xbox and now im taking a break from it. Also I am just bored of my xbox so I have been playing a lot of PS3. I still have games my wife and kids bought me for christmas I havent even played yet including Dead Space and I spent 35 bucks on PSN network downloading all the exclusives. Its awsome.

ALSO THIS PART IS THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THE BLOG!

I have a clan called the CHAOS CLAN That I am a cofounder of. I am currently doing recruiting for all game consoles. We are a huge organization and originated from xbox. However I convened with the other council members and we all voted to expand and now I am recruiting for all game consoles. There are requirements to get in.

1. You have to be Friendly

2. You have to be a hardcore gamer. You dont have to be obsessive but you know.

3. Either play video games with me and are really good or I give the go ahead an allow you to join because I know you are an elite gamer.

4. I am the lead member of the PS3 console, and if and when you join I will let the other council members know. The only person that you will answer to is me. You will then have to show some representation either through your xbox live bio or your PSN id user comment stating CHAOS CLAN.

5. If your interested let me know here and just post below. Not everyone will be chosen, however you are more then welcome to apply. We have game nights for all games and consoles.

6. You will have to be on my friends list for either PS3 or 360.

New Years and Its Representation..

Well, first off I would like to say Happy New Years to everyone and God Bless. New Years means many things to different people, however I feel as if though it is way to start fresh. Kind of like a new beginning. A clean slate for being an ass all year long.

Often You have many people go out and get drunk to the point that they cant walk and then wake up next to a complete stranger. As for myself I just plan on having a party with all my family here in Puerto Rico. I dont think I will be out till mid night though. We shall see. I am just grateful to God that I have my family as in Wife and kids. Thats really all that matters most to me.

Another thing you might find people doing is making Many New Years commitments that they often break within the first several hours. My New years Revolution is to not be so violent and quick to pick fights. I will take a deep breath, and collect myself. Then I will give a punch to the face followed by a self take down into a triangle or armbar.

HAPPY NEW YEARS...

Also what do you have planned or what did you do.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas and God Bless all of you. I hope you have a special and wonderful day. I want to share something very personal with you. I dont know why. I just want you to understand how lucky you are wether or not you recieve presents. I had a horrible child hood. The worst you can imagine even including many near death experiences. Bottom line is nomatter how bad you have it. Just remember someone has it worse. The most important thing is Family.

Please appreciate Christmas and what it reresents. It is the Birth of Christ. Wether or not you believe in God, nobody can deny that he was born. I am very fortunate now and am very blessed Thanks to God.

I do not spend christmas with my biological family seeing as we have the worst relationship you could ever possibly imagine, not to mention they live in the U.S. and I live thousands of miles away. My family is my wife and Kids. The most important thing in my life. Christmas to me only matters as long as my family is together. Also I have a mom and dad. They are my wifes parents. Even though they are technically my in laws. They are the only parents I know and love more then anything. I live in Puerto Rico so we celebrate two christmases.

The first christmas is December 25th to celebrate the Birth of Christ. The second is on Janurary 6th called the Three Kings. Both Holidays are considered Christmas here. My wife and I exchanged gifts on the 22nd cause we just couldnt wait. When you love someone so much you just want to give them the world.

I am indeed very fortunate and blessed as of right now. My wife and kids bought me each a game. My mother and father in law bought me a wonderful gift. Then I have some amazing friends who bought me some gifts. One of them you know as Zblood. Thankyou brother, I love you man. You are my brother.

Here is a list of the gifts I recieved through out the month.

1. My wife bought me Call of Duty World at War for PS3

2. My kids bought me Dead Space for PS3

3. My parents in law bought me a special thing that comes with Hancock on Bluray and a blutooth PS3 Remote. The movie also includes a digital copy to watch on PC and on PSP.

4. Zblood bought me Playstation points. AWSOME!

5. My second best friend bought me a Socom and Sony Blutooth ear piece combo set for ps3.

6. My actual family suprised the hell out of me and bought me MK vs. DC for PS3.

I am extremely blessed and lucky. I didnt have anything good when I was a kid. So I want to personally thank God for giving my family and I wonderful christmas. Also I cant wait to see my kids face on Christmas Morning. I spoil them so much lol. It will look like Toys R Us in the morning. My wife also thinks that I gave her the big gift and thats it. I have a wonderful suprise for her in the morning as well.

Remember wether or not you recieve a bunch of presents. Just always remember. Every day that your alive is a blessing. Nomatter how bad things may seem. We all serve a purpose. Thankyou everyone for being here. I hope and wish you all a Merry Christmas. God Bless all of you so much. Have a wonderful day.

A very touching Xmas Poem.

This was sent to me by a good friend who said this reminded him of me.

T'WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,

HE LIVED ALL ALONE,


IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE,


MADE OF PLASTER AND STONE.



I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY,


WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,


AND TO SEE JUST WHO,


IN THIS HOME, DID LIVE.



I LOOKED ALL ABOUT,


A STRANGE SIGHT DID I SEE,


NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,


NOT EVEN A TREE.



NO STOCKING BY MANTLE,


JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,


ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES,


OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.



WITH MEDALS AND BADGES,


AWARDS OF ALL KINDS,


A SOBERING THOUGHT,


CAME THROUGH MY MIND.



FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT,


IT WAS DARK AND DREARY,


I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER,


ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY.



THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING,


SILENT, ALONE,


CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR,


IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.



THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE,


THE ROOM IN DISORDER,


NOT HOW I PICTURED,


AN AUSTRALIAN SOLDIER.



WAS THIS THE HERO,

OF WHOM I'D JUST READ?

CURLED UP ON A PONCHO,

THE FLOOR FOR A BED?


I REALIZED THE FAMILIES,


THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT,


OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS,


WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT.



SOON ROUND THE WORLD,


THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY,


AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE,


A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY.



THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM,


EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR,


BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS,


LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.



I COULDN'T HELP WONDER,


HOW MANY LAY ALONE,


ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE,


IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME.



THE VERY THOUGHT BROUGHT,


A TEAR TO MY EYE,


I DROPPED TO MY KNEES,


AND STARTED TO CRY.



THE SOLDIER AWAKENED,


AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE,


"SANTA DON'T CRY,


THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE;



I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM,


I DON'T ASK FOR MORE,


MY LIFE IS MY GOD,


MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS."



THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,


AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP,


I COULDN'T CONTROL IT,


I CONTINUED TO WEEP.



I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS,


SO SILENT AND STILL,


AND WE BOTH SHIVERED,


FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL.



I DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE,


ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT,


THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR,


SO WILLING TO FIGHT.



THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,


WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE,


WHISPERED, "CARRY ON SANTA,


IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE."



ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH,

AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND,

A ND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT."

This poem was written by an Australian Peacekeeping soldier stationed overseas. The following is his request. I think it is reasonable

My phonecall from Midway!

Another Blog and another Beautiful Day. So your not going to believe who called me last night. One of the presidential CEO's from Midway based out of Sandiego California. Well let me tell you what happened. For a week now since I bought MK vs. DC on PS3 I couldnt get online with the server. I called Sony and Sony told me that its Midway blah blah blah. To make a long story short. I call Midway customer Service. Yet to no avail as I was looped over and over again through the same messages telling me to just send an email and stuff. I was stubborn and wanted to talk to a real person and after 30 minutes no one answered and it sent me to a voice messaging service.

So I left a voicemail stating the problem I was having and also who I was with not only my military background but my name in the gaming community. I went to sleep around 5 p.m. and my wife wakes me up at 7:30 pm saying its some guy named Midway lol. Im like what the hell... I take the phone and he tells me his name and rank in the company. My message in a matter of 5 hours was sent directly to a Presidential CEO of the company. He told me how he knew who I was and that he will personally help me with anything I need and/ or need to know. Any ways Midways servers have been crashing especially outside of the U.S. and I also asked him some very tough questions.

My Main question for him at the moment was. "Sir with midway losing over 80 million dollars this year. Are you and huge supporters of Midway such as myself in any trouble of losing our beloved Midway?" Take into consideration guys I grew up with midway games from the late 80's and remember when they were only in arcades lol. He Replied " Sergeant Solomon Sir, the bottom line is yes as of right now we have lost close to 100 million dollars. However we have nothing to worry about just yet as we do have deep pockets and also....( This next part I am not aloud to Post the direct names for security purposes) we have some very strong titles atleast 3 that we have kept secret that will be released next year and it is estimated to not only regain our losses, but bring us a huge profit in return. However if next year we lose another 100 million then we will be in serious trouble. Yet, as of right now as I said dont worry and we plan to be here for many years to come."

That was pretty much the most important parts of our converation. I truly did feel special that a Presidential CEO form Midway would personally call my home that is in Puerto Rico Thousands of miles away just because.... It was a great feeling and I am so proud to be a supporter of Midway and have been a supporter for the better part of two decades now. Midway, all I can say is thankyou, and dont worry I wont tell anyone what you have in store but my faith in your abilities is 100% reassured.

Back to PS3 once more.

yes, its true. I am going back to my PS3 for my primary system for the next two months and will be only on xbox live on certain occassions. I am utterly bored of my 360 and fed up with it in a matter of speaking. So you know the how it goes. Now that im bored I just go to the other console. Also This is a very exciting time for PS3 as most games are coming out now with trophies and the more games that come the better they look every time on PS3. I am also upgrading my hard drive soon to a 400 gig hard drive witch is very easy and suprising very cheap. I can get a 400 gig hard drive for only 80 bucks for my PS3. Just simply amazing. I am also considering getting more accessories for it. Including Usb keyboard and Mouse. The PS3 is an amazing and most technological piece of home entertainment availabe as of right now. I just recieved as a gift from one of my good friends MK vs. DC universe. I must say it is absolutely amazing. The gameplay is so smooth and solid and the game offers much more then you would expect. I have played it 0n both console versions and finally a multi plat. game that is better on PS3 as it offers more a little more content and hell of a lot more blood then the 360 version. Not to mention the controls are some of the smoothest controls on ive ever played on a fighting game.

I hope you are all doing good and God Bless you.

Life is good take a minute to think

Many people dont appreciate what they have till its gone. I want you to think about something. Look at your loved ones, wether its a girlfriend, fiance, wife, brother or sister. Just think about how your life would be without them. Some may say it would be better but in all actuallity it is the people that we love that we surround ourselves with in good and bad. We rely on them even if we dont show it. Just take a minute to look into your womens eyes and tell them that you love them. You dont want to waste life and then be miserable just cause of a fight or cause one persons a dick.

Always remember this nomatter how mad you get, nomatter how bad you fight. At the end of the day, those are the very few people you can count on. Now no i didnt have a fight with my wife. I was just thinking how miserable my life would be without her. She is my everything. Without her I wouldnt have a family. I wouldnt have my kids or even know what having parents is like. My wife saved my life and I have never and will never take her for granted. Everyone in life has that one soul mate. An angel sent from the heavens on a mission to guide us and stand at your side as strength. My strength that use to come from hate, malice, and pure anger now comes from heart, and the love of having my own family. You really dont know what life can throw at you. One minute you could be fine and talking to someone and the next day they could be dead.

Just take the time to realize and appreciate your life and all that you have. Wether you have nothing just appreciate the air you have in your lungs. If you actually have parents that care give them a hug. If you have a wife, make love to her. You never know when it will all come to an end. So heres my advice.

Live everyday like its your last, cherish these moments for they will only pass and wither away in age and in time. Live life to its fullest and be good to yourself and those around you. I want to thank God for all he has blessed me with.

New XBox Update needs the axe!

Alright I am truly pissed off. This blog is a rant and I need to vent. Normally I dont complain about something so trivial. However you all know where I am coming from. Check this BS out. So here I have been having trouble with Microsoft for the past 8 days right. Because they are and were working on there new XNE xbox new experience. Its an experience all right. Talk about a major headache. So I have not been able to download anything via game related for over a week now and finally the update is here. The one damn thing everyone knows I talk about is the damn NetFlix deal and being able to watch movies with your friends.

So after finally getting the damn software to download, they finally fix my connection after about... I dont know 8 days and six crashes later. Come to find out I cant get the net flix crap. You know why, NOOO, okay ill tell you since you want to know so bad. Even though Puerto Rico is in the Virgin Islands and considered Part of the U.S. of A. Only intercontinental U.S. 50 states get it through the stream. Netflix told me cause Microsoft couldnt work out the licensing issues with movie companies so they wont let them download outside the land. They cancelled my two week trial on the spot and I gave them the middle finger and said Merry Christmas. Damnit the xbox update was a waste for me. Whatever.....

Netflix also told me that there is no plans what so ever to change the licensing agreement at all. So I am stuck with 320 points or 5 bucks a movie download. What a crock of Horse S$it. I was so excited then let down faster then a limp...... Anyways This really has pissed me off. For 8 days straight on the phone with microsoft for nothing. Not a damn thing. This update is really cool looking but it was not worth it to me for all the hassle and system crashes and lack of live marketplace. I am so close to just trading it in and going Sony Exclusive. I am just so pissed.

A Legend Is Defeated....

Tonight I witnessed something utterly heartbreaking in my universe. I was watching UFC 91 on Pay per view. The main event was Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Couture. Now this is how it went down. Round one was all Randy suprisingly. He wore out Brock Lesnar in less then five minutes. It seemed as if Randy would retain his Championship. In Round 2 he was caught behind the temple barely clipped and still knocked on his back due to the over whelming power that is Lesnar. Lesnar then pounced on Randy and laid down a barrage of about 50 hammer fists that were short yet extremely affective. The ref had no choice but to stop the fight and Brock Lesnar is the new World Heavy Weight Champion in only his 4th fight. Its like damn.....

Randy is my hero and it truly broke my heart to see the 45 year old amazing man be defeated. You want to believe that he will never lose after overcoming impossible odds. Mirko Cro Cop, Gabriel Gonzaga, Tim Sylvia etc. Brock was just to super humanly strong. It honestly looked like Randy was going to win. By round 2 Lesnar was already tired and cut up above his eye. I honestly started to shed tears as I felt utterly devastated. You might say oh well thats lame, However you must realize that UFC and Cage fighting is one of the most important things in my life. I know most of these guys and have even trained with or talk to on the regular basis. Randy is such an amazing human being, he is so humble and kind hearted. Another great thing is that he is a former soldier in the Army witch also gets much more of my respect.

He will always be win or lose my hero. I know this is not the end for him and he will be Champion again one day. As Randy says, Age is just a number that doesnt control our body. I believe this for a number of reasons. Mainly look at Randy. Everyone has told him his entire career that he is to small and old, yet he has always risen to the occassion.
