I know there's really cool stuff out there, but I want to know about a program that will make good animated gifs like what I see here and in the forums.  Anyone have any good suggestions out there?

It might have taken me forever, but I finally have all 100 tags (I've had those for a while though), 50 Horseshoes, 50 Oysters (that stupid one by the lighthouse next to the boat school was alluding me), and all 50 Snapshots.  WHEW!!!!  Now I can sort keep going with the game a little bit.  I want to get 100% someday before I die, or at least before GTA 4 comes out.

Semper Fi

How long did it take you to get it?

It's taking me a while, but I like playing through the game and absorbing all the details throughout the thing. 

Right now, I'm on the last Oyster.  It's driving me crazy because I'm going to have to go through all fifty locations again cuz I know I forgot one and I've already been there.  Oh well...

I did get all fifty Horseshoes and finished five more missions so it was a productive weekend.

I finally got passed the Flying School and now I'm buying up all kinds of stuff in Las Venturas.  Must have taken me several months to figure out how to control that stupid plane.  ;P

Anyway...on with the show.

Can anyone give me the dimensions of a banner or point me to a tutorial on here that shows how to make a banner on here?  Thanks.

Every day, I'm cold, I'm warm in the office, cold outside, warm outside, cold in the house in the morning, warm in the house during lunch, cold at night when I come home.  ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!   If it's going to be cold, be COLD ALREADY!!!!  Jeez...I'm such a whiner, but I'm just hacking up this great awesome, flourescent green phlegm every morning while I brush my teeth and shave, it's just "awesome dude".  NOT.

Oh well, that's enough....God made the weather, that's also why He made Miller Lite and NyQuil.  NyQuil we love you, you giant Fukkkkkkin' Q!!!!!!

Well, I finally found another website to run my mouth endlessly about something I think I'm an expert in...watching TV. I certainly have done enough of it in my life. I should be able to waste entire work day on here. I'm looking forward to it.

It was quite a celebration last week.  I had the best time once again with the wife at our Marine Corps Birthday Ball in New Bern, NC at the Civic Center.  We had a very nice ceremony, guest speaker remarks, then dinner, drinks and dancing.  It was so much fun we didn't come back until the next day.  Talked with alot of people I work with on a daily basis, but it is nice to socialize without having to worry about getting anything done or having someone do something for you.  The best thing was our Commanding Officer was hanging out with us at the bar until they closed.  All kinds of Dress Blues hanging out....what a site. 

HAPPY 230th MARINES!!!!!  SEMPER FIDELIS!!!!  OOH-RAH!!!!!

It was a great time and a horrible time one right after another.  My brother just got back from Iraq about a month ago.  I had him bring some buddies down and we had some refreshments all night long....into the wee hours, we refreshed our butts off.  Well,  earlier that week, I had gotten a Typhoid shot.  That thing hit me Saturday morning.  I spent all of Saturday laying in bed sweating and shivering with a 103 degree temp.  Man!  That sucked.  Took a few more days to get over it, but I'm Ok now.  Gonna go running this afternoon I think.

I just got back from the West Coast on Saturday and I'm still not at home.  I got to spend all of 48 hours at my home and then I had to drive 6 hours away to spend another week.  At least I have internet access in my hotel room.
