What a weekend.

Well, first off, I missed the 2old4Timmy Halo night, I signed on a bit too late and I think everyone was set to appear offline. But I was picked up by my other clan, 2old2shoot, for some COD4….now let me just say that this was my first time playing it online…so, sitting there in the staging area for the team deathmatch, my big bad level 1, looking at all the level 50-60 players…my first thought was ”oh crap”. But I held my own, I was never first but I was only last once….but when you are facing a whole team with matching tags who are that organized…yeah we lost bad, and I scored 1 kill…vs 20 deaths. But over a 2 hour period I ended up hitting level 8, not bad, only 42 levels to go before I can catch up to everyone else. So let me just say one more thing about that night….I hate people who pick that Martyr perk, I was only killed by getting shot about 10 times…the remainder of my 90-100 deaths came from those stupid “from the grave” grenades.

Next day…I slept in a bit, then had to go to a kid’s birthday party…YUCK!!. But I did get some great pictures of the kids playing Red Rover. But I realized how great of a parent my wife and I would be. We are standing guard over the cake…since it’s a party of 5 year olds, you have to protect the cake….when my little cousin (the birthday girl) walks up to the table and picks up a HUGE knife that they were going to use to cut the cake…two thoughts run through my mind…first thought was this would be a rather humorous picture…the second thought….someone should do something…I later confirmed with my wife that she was doing the same thing…yup…great parenting skills….and the worst part is I DIDN’T GET THE PICTURE!! (oh, and I guess I should mention that someone eventually did take the knife away from her)

After the pack of small troll-like people(some keep claiming they were children…but I saw how they swarmed and took down that piñata like a pack of wild dogs, shreading it and leaving bits of it scattered to the 4 corners of the yard.) we made a trip to Carlisle to a little bar called Blondie’s to see the wife’s co-worker’s band play (they are called MLC….Mid Live Crisis), that was a ton of fun and we had one of the best waitresses I have had since we went to the DC Fogo De Chao. She was rather short…around 24, and had this beautiful seascape tattoo from her wrist, up her arm and across her neck back and chest. She was the ONLY waitress in the whole place, and a few people were giving her a hard time, but she kept this wonderful smile the whole time. And the food was good too (I love bar food, the dirtier the place the better the food) (this place was quite clean, but it had the feeling that it had been there for a long time)

Sunday we curled up with Silent hill, then with Viva Pinata, mix in a few of our DVRed TV shows and that was the whole day! (I love days like that)

On another note, I have a fun job coming up, I received a call that one of the man made lakes in the area (about 1.4 acres in size) has sprung a leak in the dam and they have asked me to inspect and fix it. now I am not exactly an engineer, but I know my way around a dam pretty well, and since this is a relatively small job there is no regulations for patching a hole. I am jumping at the chance to get under the water again. it’s been too long... the last time I dove was a small scale salvage mission….someone (at the same lake) dropped their favorite fishing rod. But that was the warm water season…this time of the year the water will be below 50 degrees.

On yet another note, our (I mean my wife’s) new red controller arrived Saturday. There is nothing like the feel of a new, crisp controller...at least that’s what I hear, she won’t let me use it…but that’s fair, after all I did get it for her since she is planning to be more active with the clan.

Darn it, I forgot(again) to call to get the elite fixed…I miss the elite…how quite it was, and fast…*sniff sniff* why does god let bad things happen to good game systems?

Well, well, well

Congrats to all involved on the sit ebreaking the 15000 mark....but with that milestone it would appear that we have a new spammer on the blogs...

In other news, the wife is joining a clan with me! this will be GREAT!!! except that she can very consistantly hit me in the back of the head with sticky grenades...now it may be taking place in Co-op games, but that still takes some skill. She's also a very skilled sniper. Clan night just got a bit more interesting.

An issue we've been discussing.

Ok it’s time for a rant….This one about, but not focused solely on stupid people. I know the world is covered with them, but we have started questioning our ability to live in a country where each self righteous drop out claims a right to assault your personal freedoms without you having any ability to defend yourself. In a place where I have to be disgusted and offended because a BMW driving baby factory must express herself by very publicly (more in the form of an exhibitionist) Plug her kid in to breast feed 4 times over a single half hour meal because she can. That has become the reason for doing anything recently….”because I can, and you can’t stop me.” Where Politics are THE reason why families break up, or family members refuse to talk to each other….where a choice to do nothing is universally determined to be the wrong choice….

Honestly we are tired of it. This started an interesting discussion of if we were to move, or find it more profitable to move elsewhere, where would that be…we have both agreed that Canada has a lot to offer, we have also thought of Australia, and my personal favorite New Zealand. Well, I want to know what all of you think. here are the criteria we have…where would you pick….

Must have at least 90% English speaking public. We can learn a foreign language, but want to avoid a mandatory, immediate need to learn.
We would like to have to option to live in a small town area but not be far from a larger populated area.(an accountant is not much use if there are no people)
Would like to avoid communist areas, but we would not mind a Monarchy.
Freedoms are important, and a (relatively) uncensored press would be preferable.
An industrialized country is a must, sorry, no Third World countries…unless we can retire and live like royalty on almost nothing, and they meet the above criteria.
A place where we don’t have to worry about having our assets nationalized.
A place where we don’t have to worry about a natural disaster hitting even if it is ONLY every 2 years or so.

My choice would be the North West side of the South Island of New Zealand, and the wife would like Canada….how is BC, if there’s anyone familiar with the area?
