ah addiction..........

my old friend, welcome back.......so i took a day and night off from ye olde xbox as when i woke up tuesday morning at 6, after going to bed at 3, my eyes had that weird 3D mode going on where if you focused on one point for more than 10 seconds it would kinda do a bubble out effect and that's when i figured, well better put the crack pipe down. so i did just to prove it to myself that i could but last night i picked it back up and was immersed in FO3 for a couple hours on the first level alone and then downloaded the Left 4 Dead demo which i'll give a whirl later on today, i did watch the intro and it looks insane and a hoot to play.

to totally switch gears, i love the holiday season, before transferring into my current role i managed a team of 3rd level tech support folks and would travel between raleigh, nc and austin tx two weeks out of each month. i would rarely take vacation as there was always some issue that needed resolved but i always took the week of thanksgiving and the week of and the week after christmas for myself to mentally recharge and keep my perspective. there's also some miscellaneous days throughout the year i would take but never more than one day off before the holidays. so that being said i am extremely pumped to be single (not officially yet - have to wait till April) and have 3 weeks of vacation to do nothing but play video games! muwhahahahaha, i rule! does anyone else see the pure geekness of this? i just re-read it and i'm thinking, hmmm, 3 weeks of vacation and not one mention of womenz....ummm...yea, you'll have to read back a few blogs but unless i want to sneak around to get my freak on, i'd rather just wait until everything is official and then go whole hog, besides i need the time off from relationships anyways, time to recharge my emotional batteries so to speak.

i have also joined up with gamefly and have the first two games coming that should be here today, ninja gaiden and devil may cry 4. sweetness, just sweetness. i'll eventually look into maybe joining a clan but there's so many multi-platform clans out there that play a lot of halo and now GoW2 that i'll probably have to pick one of those up as a permanent game before seriously looking. right now, i'm just having some fun. in the immortal words of billy idol, i'm just dancin' with myself.

i look forward to eventually getting out on xlive and getting to know some of you better than just reading your blogs but until then peepas........

a little chello music for the soul!!!!

catch y'all on the flip!
