I get my first check tomorrow...or should I say today. Anyway....I already know what Im gonna get with it. Get a new Xbox to put my hard drive and customized/painted Xbox cover on. But Im buying it from a friend for only a hundred. Then I`m gonna get that Def Jam Fight for NY. At first I wasn`t to interested in getting it. Then when I seen most of the rappers and other clebs that are in it; Now I can`t wait to get it. Then I have to get me a new controller from best buy for 20. It`s by daytel I think.....but the controller is like the controller s but the black and white buttons are at the top. Like the original Xbox controller. I can`t play with the controller s because the bottons are at the bottom. I`m so use to them being at the top....I always tend to try to press at the top when playing with the controller s which makes me then have to look down. Anyway the controller is see through and is silver plus black grips. They also have blue, green, black, clear, gold, and chrome. Also they have wireless one`s for only 30 dollars. Next I`m gonna order that Max Theater and see if that works...for 17 dollars. Then what ever I have left over I`m gonna save half and just budget the rest. Like buy food or snacks or if I go out somewhere.

Before I leave I just wanna say a lil something.....and it`s about PS2. They have a new model that`s coming out in Nov. Which is much smaller....It real flat also. In my opinion it`s better than the first model and plan to purchase it as soon as it comes out. Seeing I don`t own a PS2; If I did...I wouldn`t buy it.

Was browsing the net today and came across a link talking about a 175 inch screen; For only $17. Then to find out it`s an projection kit that inhaces any TV screen from 13 to 35 inches. You are supposed to be able to ajust your new screen to any inch, all the way up to 175; While still getting clear picture. Also you can take it off when ever you want.

Me; I`m thinking about getting it. That`s the only thing I really care about in a TV, is the size. It don`t have to be crystal clear; As long as it`s basic. Meaning it don`t have to be HD or Plasma clear. Just be able to see.

If anyone knows someone with it or has it themselves; I would like to know if it`s worth it or not?

Just wanna show my thanx to those who have let me be their friends.

I am still new as a member, but not new to the site. In this case I hope all my new friends keep me as friends as I will keep them. If at any time you wanna send me e-mail or something; Just do it.

The next time my new friends will probably hear from me; I will be talking about San Andreas.

Once again....Thanx : )

Yes...I finally got me a new job. This one is exactly what I been looking for. It`s warehouse work and is a night shift. The name of the company is Brooks Furniture. I`ll be working from 12 to 9. Also I`ll be starting at 8.80 an hour.

It`s funny how things work out. I have been looking for a job for a while; And all of a sudden I get many job offers at once. I had filled out some applications at a few places where I would have liked to work. They were Best Buy, Giant, UPS, and Brooks Furniture. About a week ago I got an interview at Best Buy(they said they would call in Sept.), then I got an interview for both Brooks Furniture and Giant at the same time. Unfortunately Brooks Furniture called first. The supervisor hired me on the spot. When I got home, thats when Giant called for an interview.

I get paid every week instead of 2 weeks, and all I have to do is load and unload trucks. Plus package up some of the materials.

Now with my new job....My Wish list will now come true. And it couldn`t have come at a better time. Right before San Andreas hits the market. So by my first check I`ll be able to buy it in advance...and just pick it up when it hits the shelves.

I don`t know why, but today I started thinking about San Andreas. Seeing that it`s right around the corner; I can`t wait for it to be released. I really can`t wait for it to be released on the Xbox.

Some thing`s I wanna know about San Andreas is why they pulled away from Tommy Vercetti. Will he be featured or talked about in San Andreas? Will he be connected to San Andreas? How(if any) are the fighting moves in San Dreas? Also what type of music will we be able to listen too? Will it be know artist like in Vice City....or will it be unknown artist like in GTA3?

I also was thinking of new storys for next GTA titles. The obvious would be to make a sequel to San Andreas with the same main character : Carl Johnson. Then I thought that a later story could be of both GTA main characters : Tommy and Carl. You could give the gameplayer a choice of who he want`s to control. Thus both haveing their own story line, but at certain points in the story; They tie togehter. With that said; Maybe it could also be an option of a 2 player mode. One being Tommy and the other Carl. In which you can have a short story just for that mode......or it can just be a free for all rampage. Having you be able to kill each other or team together. To have gameplay seem better......can have it full screen. But when a player leaves from the other one......the screen splits horizontally. Allowing each player to see more of it`s surroundings. Whether than vertical, allowing to see only in front.

Since this is my first entry; I would like to talk about my game collection. Telling all about what games I play and why I have them.

I have a wide variety of games and for all systems that I have. Being from the beginning to the end. My systems are Nintendo, Sega Genisis, PC, Dreamcast, PS2, and Xbox. I also had other systems, but either tradeded them or they broke; and I never re-bought. Those sytems are : Super Nintendo, Sega CD, Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn, and Playstation. (I would like to soon....buy another Sega Saturn; I liked the cd player it had built into it. This allowing the user to change vocals of cds and background plus surround sound of track.)

Well I still have my Nes games because, my mom and little sister and cousins still play them. I have more than what is listed but, gamespot wouldn`t allow me to add them to my collection. My fav. game of this collection is Maniac Mansion. I like strategy games a lot....next to sports/action games.

I still have my sega games cause sega is my fav. system/company. I loved the color which was black(my fav, color) and the console was cool. Im talking about the second version, but first genisis version. Which had an earphone jack made into it.

Dreamcast....well all I gotta say is that it`s made by sega. I was mad to see again....sega sold out.

I only have an PS2 because they make so many games. Most of them being made for only it`s system and sony usually gets the best games first.....like GTA San Andreas, Metal Gear, and Def Jam Vendetta. The thing I hate most about PS2 is their analogs on it`s controllers. They shouldn`t be so close together, and you should be able to choose to use the analog or joy-pad to move/select options.

My fav. system is Xbox of course. I have the most games for this system. I like Xbox the best due to the fact that it took me back to the sega days. Also it bought out most of segas game titles. Then it`s console is the best out on the market right now. With all it`s capabilities like : the hard drive, built in modem, dvd player, and the ability to burn cds to your hard drive. Then being able to play you burned cds in your videogames. (I`d like to mention that PS3 will be nothing but, an Xbox in costume.....saying that PS3 really needs to step up; I mean why you build a 2 controller socket system when every other systems was/going to be 4 N64, Dreamcast, Xbox / For people who don`t know....PS3 will have 4 controller slots and will be a little better in graphics then Xbox is right now. Also it will have a built in hard drive.

As for the rest of the systems I have had...this is what happened to them. SNES along with N64 and games....I sold to Funcoland.....in the process I bought Dreamcast. Before I had N64 however......I had Sega Saturn. My Sega Saturn...which I let my Dad use for the week; got burned up literally. My Dads town house second floor caught fire due to an electrical socket problem. That`s when my Dad paid me back by buying N64...which was the newest system at that time.

My Sega Cd I just threw away...sike I still have it. But I don`t have any games for it....or at least I can`t find the 2. I had Bill Walshes College Football, and Shell Shock. I only bought Sega Cd because I wanted the game Night Trap. It was sold out everywhere....and I still can`t find someone who has that game.

And last but not least......I sold my Playstation along with games for a lil more cash towards the Xbox.
