The agreement.

My wife is a girl who enjoys video games, but not FPS. My wife is ultra competitive as am I and we both hate to lose. In nearly 4 years of halo (edit uhh I mean marriage) she has played it with me once and her major frustration was that she is not as good as I am and the whole walking into walls while looking at the floor thing. She says the controls for halo give her motion sickness. In fact if you talked with her about halo much at all, you get the picture of her being a halo widow. She doesn't play it and doesn't want to. My wife is however the I want to run a marathon type of girl. Which I think is quite cool. Her running for hours on end gives me more time to park my butt and play some halo. I am more of the playing halo until my eyes bleed and eat mint oreos by the sleeve type of guy, but I always give support to my wife's endevours. This time though she wants to run a half marathon, together she wants me to run for hours on end for fun . So she asks me if will train for a few months with her and run a half marathon with her and my response is..

 

Absolutely...

 

-if she will learn to play halo with me. Her face shows serious dilemma. She needs time to think about it. A week later she comes back and explains the weekly commitment training will take and asks how many hours per week will she have to commit to halo. I say at least three hours a week. She says deal.

So it begins.

West Virginia

Hey Everybody,

Have a crappy and limited connection to the internet right now so I thought I would let you all know that I am in west virigina until Saturday.  So you won't see me on XBL or returning messages until then. 

 

I am in Rosedale West Virginia and it is PURE country.  I feel like I am in another world.  The mountains are beautiful and the locals are what you see in the movies.  Luckily I have not come accross any Deliverance type locals, but I must say they look the part. 

 

Gotta run, I think I hear banjo music.

I present to you, the cute one.

Playing in her chair.



I eated the squashes



and it was good.


Really good.




She has been doing great and sleeping mostly through the night.  At most now she is waking up once at 2am to eat and then crash out again.  So thanks for all the support and advice.

Credit reports are fun

So every one knows you are supposed to check your credit report. Very few people actually do it. But today I decided to. So I went to www.annualcreditreport.com and filled out the required info. It is free and doesn't make you sign up for some protection that you have to call back and cancel later, so filling out the stuff wasn't bad. Any way I am going through my report detail by detail and check the names which I am known by. One of the was Paul Dominges! My last name is not even close to Dominges. How the heck did Paul Dominges get on my freakin credit report. You can dispute almost everything on your credit report through their website except for names. So now I am on eternal hold to explain to them that my name is not, has not, and will never be Dominges.

BLAH

15:23 later.

I asked who reported that name to them and she said no one did. Well umm, it's just there? Great.
It took her all of 8 seconds to dispute it and now I wait on an email.


Anyway something more fun:
My daughter has been sleeping through the night or just waking up once which has been AMAZING. She goes to bed at about 8:30pm and sleeps until 7:15am or so. If she wakes up it is usually around 2:00am and will eat and go right back to sleep. So that is good for personal health and for the gaming addiction err umm I mean habit.

Closing word of advice:
When staying up too late do not play with photo-booth on your mac. You will regret it later and it won't be nearly as funny as it was last night.




See Ella this is why you should be in bed at 2am. Now this picture will haunt you as a 16 year old.

That is all,
-CMA

Roman numeral for awesome.

LOL, so as most of you know I am a halo addict when it comes to gaming. Even the more silly aspects of halo I totally enjoy. One of those being grifball. So I have played a bunch of grifball and a clip of me F1R3 and Mrs F1R3 in matchmaking got added in the highlight reel of grifball.com. The clip is at about the 1:40 mark of the social highlight reel.
here is the link http://grifball.com/home.php

Abstract of what happens:
F1R3 and I invented a launching tactic off of the spawn and used that to launch me toward the ball where with one swing of a hammer I exterminate the entire other team.
