First off, I'll start by saying I hope you're having a great Christmas. I hope Santa was good to you, and brought you the stuff the you wished. I didn't really ask for much this year, as I don't really need much. I think the most expensive gift I got was a pair of jeans. Don't get me wrong though, I couldn't be happier with the gifts I received this year. I got a new music stand,clothing,Trailer Park Boys Movie(If you don't live in Canada, you won't know what show that is) and some CD's. All in all, I'm stoked. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day, since it's Boxing Day, and we all know the kinds of sales that go on that day. I'm thinking of going out and buying myself an HDTV, but I'm still undecided. Regardless if I go out or not, tomorrow is also the first day of the Junior hockey championships. Canada plays their first game against the home team, the Czech's. We've done pretty well these past few years, going undefeated three years in a row, which of course means we've won gold three years in a row as well. I really hope we can make it 4 in a row. I know I'll be watching every game Canada plays. Anyways, that's it from me. I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday, and don't get into too much trouble (didn't I write something like this in my last blog? :P) That's beside the point though. I also want each of you to think about what you have, and how lucky you are to have it. I know, it sounds cliche, but now more than ever, especially around the holidays, is a time to give thanks for what you have. Cheers, and let the Christmas drinking begin. :P

Hello there, I didn't see you come in. I hope you all are enjoying the holidays. I know I am. Shopping is more of a chore than it is an activity nowadays. At least I've finished my Christmas shopping for the year. Sadly, I must work through the holidays. However, I do get Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off, so I'm fine with that.

I also saw the movie Doom last night on tv. I must say, I thought it rocked. I got the impression that some people didn't like it. I guess people thought they didn't follow the games or something. Anyways, I figured it was a cool movie, and the first person scene was wicked. That's all from me folks. Have a safe and happy holidays. Remember, drink responsibly...because I know I won't. :P

As some of you may have noticed, this past week I have been absent, due to vacation. I visited Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. I stayed at an all inclusive resort, which was beautiful. My room was right by the ocean, which was great. Just up from the ocean was a pool and a bar, and it was all the drinks you could drink. They had snacks going on by the bar as well. This included burgers,pizza,hotdogs,and a variety of hot items that changed every day. I ended up going parasailing, and it was fantastic. They bring you out to this boat, hook you up, and then you're off. We went up and down the beach, and got a good view of the other resorts and the town. The best part of my trip was the Mayan tour. We visited Mayan ruins, and it was incredible. I don't understand how they built those? We lucked out, because our tour guide grew up in a Mayan village, so we got to visit one. It was breathtaking. Their houses are huts built of wood, and they are as sturdy as ever. We were told the average age to die at for women was 107, and the average age for men was 97. After our guide told us that, he pointed to an 80 year old man carrying a 150lb bag of charcoal with ease. It makes you stop and think. They live such a simple life, with no diseases. Our guide said the only thing they get out there is a common cold. That was basically the bulk of my trip. I got lots of sun, and got some Christmas shopping done early. It did suck coming from hot weather, to snow/rain here. Oh, and sorry there are no pictures, for some reason it won't let me upload them. I'm going to keep trying.

Since I haven't made a blog in a while, I thought I might update you guys on what's going on in my life. First off, it's my birthday tomorrow (9th) and it should be an exciting one. Also, next weekend, I'm going to go shopping for a new electric guitar. As for what kind, well I'm not one hundred percent sure, although I have some ideas in mind. Things have been going great all around. Work is really easy, and I go a vacation coming up, and I'm going to Mexico at the end of the month. Basically, it's one positive after another in my life. As for what I'm doing today, well me and a few friends are going to watch the hockey game, then we plan on having a little jame session. Now you are caught up with me, hope you find that exciting...or whatever:P

Remember, In order to have friends, you must first be one.

Ya, I put a nice quote in my blog, wanna fight about it?

As some of you may know, I love blues music. Listening to it, playing it, it's wicked. Now one of my buddies who I jam with, has gotten me into a certain guitarist who many of you know, but probably don't like. That's right, I'm talking about John Mayer. Yes, a lot of his songs are radio friendly, and pop driven, however, there is one CD he has released that is all about the blues. It's called Try! It's a live CD with Pino Palladino, and Steve Jordan playing with him. They've gone the tried and true way of a guitarist (John Mayer) and bassist (Pino Palladino) and a drummer (Steve Jordan) It's an amazing CD, and he can wail on the blues. I really hope the he continues down the blues path, instead of his pop path. If you see this CD in stores, I suggest picking it up. If you don't want to, I'll give you a few songs to download. "Out of My Mind," "Who Did You Think I was?" and "I Got a Woman." Yea, he covers aRay Charlessong, and it rocks. Kind of reminds me of when Stevie Ray Vaughan covered a Stevie Wonder song. Anyways, just thought I'd bring your guy's attention to this amazing guitarist. If you like the blues, or just love the guitar, I recommend this album, it's fantastic.

If you are looking for this album, that's what it looks like :D

Well, I just got off my suspension. Not sure if any of you noticed, I'm assuming you didn't. Anyways, it was a lame ass reason, but I won't get into that. However, because of the suspension, I have been demoted from level 30 to 29, which is complete BS. I'm not one to really care about levels normally, but losing a level because I was suspended for one day is crap.

On the plus side, I bought myself NHL 08 today. I'll probably end upplaying it later tonight when I get off work. I've heard it's amazing.

I've reached level 30, Wicked Sick! Some may consider that a milestone, or an accomplishment, and I think I'd agree. I've been on Gamespot for some time now, and it seems like level 30 is the big one. I could be wrong, but that's the feeling I get. Who knows? Anyways, I think the name fits. Wouldn't you agree that I'm Wicked Sick!

Ok, well first I will tell you about my new purchase. I finally bought Guitar Hero 2. I haven't had too much time to play it, but it rocks. As many of you know, I actually play guitar, and this game does a fantastic job at simulating it. I can't wait to see all of the songs that are on this game.

Well, I saw the new rendition of Halloween. I must say, I am thoroughly disappointed. I'm not sure it Rob Zombie intended to make it cheesy, but that's exactly what it was. Sure, it was gruesome, but it was the same thing over and over. Teens having sex, teens oblivious that Mike is watching them. Mike kills teens...repeat. I wasn't expecting an awesome movie, but I certainly expected more than that. If you've seen it, what were your thoughts?

Ok, well I don't usually do blogs on video games, in fact, I don't think I've ever done one. Anyways, I own an Xbox 360 and I think it's a great system. I haven't had a chance to play the PS3, but I've heard many great things about it. Now both those systems are known to have amazing graphics, which is great and all, but something has come to my attention...the Wii. I recently got a chance to play a Wii for the first time. I must tell you, it is the greatest system. Me and my friends had a blast playing this. We spent hours on Wii sports alone. Now, the graphics aren't amazing, well, for the Wii sports they're pretty bad. That being said, I didn't care about the graphics, because I was having way too much fun standing up and using the Wii remote as a golf club, or a baseball bat, or using it to bowl. This is the first system that actually lets you interact in the game, and when doing so, you find it even more fun. It's a system that let's you and friends, family, your girlfriend/boyfriend, whoever, to just get up and play. You may be a person that has never touched video games, nor been a fan, and the Wii will change you whole perspective. I'm somewhat disappointed that I bought a 360 so pre-maturely. I love it, but at the same time, the Wii was just a whole other experience. If you get a chance to play a Wii,definetly take the opportunity.

I'll start off by saying that I've found the last few seasons of the Simpsons to be stale. They've been on for so long, that it felt like they were trying to hard. I must admit, I didn't have too high of expectations for this film. Well, they proved me wrong. This movie was hilarious. It had fresh ideas, and made me laugh out loud on many occasions. I highly recommend this film for any fan of the show. This is what the series was in dire straits for. If only they could make more episodes like this movie. I give it a 41/2 out of 5 stars. What were your thoughts on the movie?
