Alright people now dont pee on yourself or send me hate mail. This is my blog and my opinion and if you dont like it, well that is just to bad. Here we go. As of right now in my professional gaming opinion as a vetern gamer Xbox 360 is superior right now. The reason being is because well xbox 360 obviously has better online servers and capability. Not to mention very very deep pockets. However the gameing library isnt bad either so that helps a lot.

The xbox has more games in 1080p. Most games on PS3 mostly go up to 720p. Now dont cry and start flaming. Listen to my logic. The other side of the coin is that 360 has maxed out its capability. The PS3 has barely tapped into its potential. There is a reason for this. For one the developers are to lazy and said the PS3 is to hard for them to program right now and the other reason is due to my theory.

Playstation is purposely holding back. The reason is because in 2010 Xbox and Nintendo are releasing there new consoles. The PS3 needs to last for ten years or atleast until 2015. So if they do everything now then people will be like okay whatever. So when the new consoles launch you will see sony definitely step up to the plate and match whatever technology is available.

Dont ever forget. The PS3 was launched as a computer system, not as a gaming console. Then when they saw that route wouldnt work and sales were horrible, they quickly changed there tactics. The bottom line is I prefer playing my Xbox right now, however I can not deny that the PS3 is much much more powerful and will truly be a console around for a ten year period. They built it like this for a reason. Everyone was criticizing Sony for the price etc.

First off I payed 500 for my xbox and 600 for my PS3 cause I bought both consoles when they were still young and virgin like. Any ways, The PS3 is a computer system that can do everything and literally has endless capability and unlimited upgrade potential through softwhere that can be purchased and downloaded. The fact is that xbox can not.

On another note, The xbox has better feautures this is true, but the PS3 will soon have all those feautures. They are as I stated previously.. Waiting for the right time.

This one is important. I am sick and tired of people complaining that the xbox gets the red ring bla bla bla. Guess what. All systems break. I had a red ring of death as recently as 1 year and a couple of months ago. Not a problem. Microsoft took it and sent me a brand new one completely free plus a whole bunch of bonus content. On the same note, My PS3 broke within the first week I bought it. If a Playstation had the red ring of death it would be the same thing. All consoles and platforms break now and again. So stop saying oh this console is better and breaks less blah blah blah. They all break the same amount.

A trick you can use to keep it from over heating is putting it in a very open space high up. The key component is making sure the vents on the consoles can actually vent. You dont want it to store heat or circulate heat. The biggest problem is people stack it on or stack stuff on top of the consoles. Dont do that. These are expensive delicate pieces of equipment and should be treated as such. Now it doesnt matter if they stand up or not just make sure they arent shoved into a wall unit and or stacked then you should be fine and have it last. This should work about 90% of the time.

So this is my theory and if you dont like it, then guess what....... I will leave that part to your imaginations.

Well, here we are. I am a proud owner of both a PS3 and an Xbox 360. Now you all know that im not a fanboy by any means, but I do enjoy my exclusives that make me really proud to have a certain console.

Here is where im at. First I was really upset and shocked about Final Fantasy 13 going over to xbox. Now I am excited because this means we will have more people to play with online. So now I dont know witch system to get it for. So I got over this and moved on.

Now my favorite fighting series witch has been on playstation for over 12 years was just announced to be launched on xbox 360 simultaniously on the same release as PS3 next fall. The game is Tekken 6. Now this really bothers me. Whats next, resistance being ported over. Atleast PS3 owners can take comfort in the fact that Metal Gear that was rumored to be ported over will infact not be. This means it will remain a Playstation exclusive.

This is besides the point. I dont get it. Sony has made a huge turn around and has made some serious profit taking them far and above into the green. They are no longer in the red obviously and can definitely afford exclusives. So why would they release a huge fighting franchise of this calibur. I can understand mortal kombat etc, but not my beloved Tekken. Then you have to wonder, witch console to get this for and witch one is better. Then your going to have fan boys hating.

I just want to know whats going on with sony. This is not cool by anymeans and I am a little bit dissapointed. What do you guys think about this.

Kimbo Slice, The big beast everyone put on a pedastool. Let me tell you something. I will fight him. I want to fight him but im not contracted to elite xc. He is not a fighter in my opinion, he is a brawler. Not an MMA star. I am glad finally someone exposed him for what he is. A big muscle bound loaf. Now I will admit whatever he hits he has the power to break. This does no good if he fights a man of great martial art status, such as someone like myself, who was a former Golden Gloves boxing champion, ranked in the world as a top contender, and Holds multiple black belts especially in my personal favorite Brazillian Jiu Jitsu.

Anyways, it was supposed to be Ken shamrock who is also an ass but is a legend non the less, and I respect him. I am glad Kimbo was beaten, what makes it better is he was knocked out in only 14 seconds. I honestly like kimbo, I just dont like how everyone tried to make a brawler the face of MMA when UFC is the big show, and Randy Cotoure is the face. Anyways, Kimbo has the potential to be champion one day, but he is not ready as of yet.

I am worried also about Brock Lesnar. He has the potential to be a champion as well, however putting him up against Randy Cotoure in November is ludacris. Randy will win. Randy is my hero. Randy since I never had a daddy, he can be mine lol.

Also Thanks to a friend im playing Little Big Planet Beta and it is amazing and beautiful. All I can say is WOW. Normally its not my ****of game but it has captured me and totally take control. It is a masterpiece.

Well, I did it. I beat the game on every difficulty including the secret difficulty. I have almost every achievement and I have dedicated many hours into the game. It was great. An absolute wonderful experience. It truly was the best star wars game that I have played.

It was completely amazing form beginning to end and I recommend it to anyone and everyone. I am so proud of myself because the game was so hard and challenging on the secret ultra hard difficulty. I unlocked all the endings and it was just amazing. Man it took forever and normally I dont play games on the hardest difficulties but this one really, really hooked me in.

One of the best games ever made and the best game I have played in many years.

Always remember, Life can be extremely crazy at times. For some individuals it can be vexing most of every day. However its at these times that we are truly tested that we often find ourself. We often find who we are as an individual. It is a test of medal, willpower, and the desire to succeed.

You more often then not have the reacurring procrastinators who blame the world for there own mistakes. Dont do that. People need to take responsibility for there own actions. Wether it be the president, commander in military, and even ourselves. We as humans have the habbit of taking for granted what we have until its gone. Then when we are stripped of our material objects we are often plagued with grief, remorse, and depression.

What I am trying to get it is, life is a constant curveball, and you are up to bat. Dont just sit around waiting for life to pass you by. Get up and do something about it. Wether it be something small from a test in school to leading hundreds of men into battle. It is all about learning and progressing from our mistakes. It is about maturing from our childish ways and accepting full responsibility for our actions. Remember for every action there is a reaction. Therefore it goes to show you the the theory of relativity. Such as cause and affect.

This is a message just give advice, not put anyone down. As for me, I am not perfect by any means as many of you think and put me on this pedastool. I have severe anger and aggression problems, due to a horrible past and military life it was in my nature to be aggressive and especially when I was and still cage fight. It is about channeling and controlling the temper. Instead of exploding, I need to focus it on something constructive. I hope you understand what it is that I am elaborating to you at this juncture in time.

Hold your head up, and never give into the darkness. Once you have it may be to late to get out. The only person that can help you is you. Stay true to yourself and keep your faith in the Lord strong. Always have a fighter mentallity and tell yourself, One More Round.

Nomatter what you do or where you go life will always have its good an bad. However think about this. If we didnt have the bad would the good feel as blissful and meaningfull as it does. Think about those people that have everything and yet inside contain nothing but misery. It is because you need to maintain composure. Keep yourself busy and remain active in life nomatter how bad things appear. Always remember there is someone who has it worse then you. Granted all people are different and have different emotional states. There is no excuse for failure unless you fail yourself. Stay Strong and God Bless.

I have been around the world, I have seen death face to face. I often am asked the question why am I the way I am. Well to be honest, I am who I am due to life. Life has thrown many experiences my way. I have done and definitely seen it all. I have lost friends. Grew up rough and was associated with things im not proud of. I have been to war and was present through operation Iraqi Freedom 1 2 and 3. To be honest. I do take things to personal and maybe a little messed up in the head. Atleast I know that although I may be a little off. I can say it is because I have experienced life and respect others and all life has to offer.

Its funny, like you would think I would be a communications major by now or something. Man that would be an ass thing to be with my experience. I guess I am just like a bear. Maybe a little ferocious, a little nutty and crazy. I am also kind, caring and dont intentionally insult other people. It is wierd being me. However I know if other people lived the life I have, many would have failed and lost faith. Probably start fights and blame it on everyone else.

In light of recent events, can you imagine having to deal with AIG right now and the federal government. Man I couldnt even imagine being a communications major right now. Wow what a hard job that would be. It would be like feeding a bear that would never stay away. Why am I changing the topic. I dont normally like to speak about myself and am a man troubled by secrets and a past that will only continue to haunt him. It is funny how you can grow sacrificing your life and putting everything you have on the line. Yet, People still somehow find a way to hate you. In all actuality they are probably just that way cause they hate themselves.

I am an individual that leads by example and have helped save the lives of millions. If not for my actions and sacrifices. There would be tens of millions of lives lost. Although I cant speak of it, mainly cause it is just to uncomfortable. I want you to imagine growing up and having to raise yourself, surrounded in the worst environment possible. Imagine everything that could have happened wrong to you happened. Imagine that every bad thing except for actually dieing happened to you. Think of being shot, stabbed, surrounded by drugs. Then deciding to change your life. Imagine being the only one from your hood who decided to change. So graduating 2 years early from highschool, and then joining the military. I was an infantry men at first. Then on my second contract I decided to join cavalry special forces unit. I was a 19Delta.

Now I have sacrificed more then my fair share and wake up every day in pain and yet, even despite all my hardships. I still manage to see some good in the world. Even if I come across people who just want to bring misery because they hate themselves. I am a positive person, who is strong, mentally strong, and an accomplished person in life. Mastering many languages, being ranked as a fighter in boxing and martial arts. Holding multiple black belts. I am a man who litterally came from nothing, and had everything in this world against him. All the odds were telling me to fail. Yet I fought and never gave up and now I am a success. I am married, I have wonderful children. I own my own home. Have a new suv. Made wise decisions and now I have the world.

This is just a little bit about me. I am very prideful and my biggest strength is integrity. I am a man that prides himself on virtue and morales. However I will always be haunted by a past that I can not and will never be able to change. I live for today and tomorrow. I live for my wife and children. My faith in God is strong. Although I was a monster in my past. I now know that as of today I am a good, reformed man. If I can do it then I know that anyone can do it. Dont ever give up on yourself, cause if you do then you give up in life. If someone from my back ground can grow to be the mega success that I am today. Then anyone can. Yes my ego is big and so is my intellect. I have a right to be a little conceded. Man what if I was some ass with a communications major. Now that would be funny.

I want to take a minute or so to pray for those that are really needing it right now. I want to pray for all those that were devastated by hurricane ike. So far there have been 16 deaths with a rumor of six more by tomorrow that they know of. There are thousands upon thousands without food, electricity, water nor homes due to the devastation.

However I know they will be okay. On another note I dont want to forget about the carribean that was utterly devastated by Hurricane Hannah. Cuba and Jamiaca were pretty much completely underwater due to mass flooding and surges.

On another note I recently lost one of my heroes and idols. Evan Tanner. He was a fighter in the UFC for many years and I followed his entire career from beginning to end. It feels like I lost a friend and am still in shock witch ofcaorse still makes my eyes water just thinking about it today.

He will be missed.

I pray for all those that I have mentioned and only hope for them the comfort and peace they deserve. Evan Tanner, I pray you find the peace in heaven that was almost impossible to find here on earth....

As you all may know where I live is often hit by many tropical storms and especially hurricanes. As I live on the farthest island out of the carribean and a very small island at that. Now normally there are only a few tropical storms and maybe one or even two smaller hurricanes. However this year is different.

Due to global warming and excelled weather patterns each year is getting even worse then the previous with horrible weather and rapidly climbing heat. So far this year we have been hit with every major storm system and the worst one of all was hannah. It came through here like a bat out of hell, flooding the streets, high waves and knocking out power all across the island majorly affecting 8 of the larger cities here on the island. Luckily I live up in the mountains. However although you will survive the rain and flooding you are at high risk for lightning.

As the hurricane was passing there was a six hour period where it was just striking with furious lightning and thunder every moment even so close that you could see the residue from your window with the electrical flames.

It did infact knock out power but also affected so much of the agricultural habitat that there are was so much work to do after its two day onslaught. Then just several days later ike came through. That went by relatively fast. However once again there was flooding. Luckily here we build our homes out of solid cement and steel pipe so unless God wants our house gone. Its solid and isnt going anywhere. However other islands and especially cuba, and jamaica were not so lucky as they are pretty much completely under water to the rooftops of there houses.

Everyone is talking about New Orleans. The carribean has been utterly devastated and my family and I are extremely lucky.

There is a huge void,

dark as night with no illuminating light

cold as ice on a glacier

lonely as deaths embrace

saddened by the very breathe of life,

damp and stale as a rotting carcass,

there is no place left to go,

no place to turn,

no more running as you hit a brick wall,

where am I,

why is it so hard,

what is happening to me,

what is happening to me?

Death looms eagerly awaiting to captive its prey,

the moon has risen and is dark letting evil come out and play,

we sweat, bleed, and shed tears of pain,

only to know that we will suffer this torment again,

we lament and repent our past sins and aggressions,

however we cant even look ourselves in the mirror to see our reflections,

all seems lost as your cuffed and beaten bloody,

then left out to die by those you once loved laying unconcious and muddy,

cut wounds and slashes seem deep,

although wounds to the heart make you scream in your sleep,

tormented by the past that wont change,

waking up not knowing where you are often seems strange,

screams to the ringing of a telephone,

no body answers and thats when you realize that your all alone,
