A New Sig

So, I am just about to finish out all the Marvel Ultimate Alliance achievements and I have to say I have had a blast playing the game. I can't wait for 2 to come out next year. In the meantime I thought I would come up with a little tribute signature...let me know what you guys think.

Ello again

Its been awhile since I posted last...and since I figured I couldn't sleep then I might as well catch up on here.  Too much has been going it seems like lately.  My work is moving locations and since it is a small mom and pop place I get to be one of the main "muscle" helpers for the move.  Ok...kind of a bummer but at least I am working ya know.  What really sucks about it is I just caught this crappy flu my grandparents have been passing back and forth...so now I have to move them while I'm sick.  Other then that...not a whole lot going on.  Been playing some terrorist hunt on RB6V2 with the clannies while we impatiently gnaw on furniture while waiting for Gears 2 to come out.  I'm thinking of also picking up Left 4 Dead as well...have to wait and see I suppose.  In the mean time I am also trying to work on some of my gears ranked achievements...anyone else working on these still?  If so, feel free to shoot me an fr or msg and I'd be happy to hop in...some of the bonehead timmies you run in to on random make me want to say screw it...lol.  Oh well...laters all cya in the games.

Bummer of a Holiday

So its the 4th of July...big barbecue planned...ribs, steak, corn on the cob and lots of booze.  Nope...cancelled.  Instead of a night of celebration my family got a night of worry.  The day started off ok...seemed like it was going to go off without a hitch.  Then I go pickup my grandfather from dialysis.  He seems fine..a little tired but ok.  Get him home and he goes in to use the restroom.  Now on dialysis days I have to go in there with him cause he just doesn't have the strength to stand back up on his own.  He says he thinks he's ready so I go to help him up..nope..has to sit back down.  Next thing I know...his right side is shaking in spasms and he slumps over passed out.  He's totally unresponsive so I call out to call 911.  He comes to after a couple of minutes the paramedics show up and help him get out of there and into his wheel chair.  Most of his stats are fine but his bloop pressure is 243/82 so yeah...off to the hospital with him.  They ran a bunch of tests but couldn't really find an answer to what happened other then..maybe it was the heat with the dialysis weakness...either way they kept him till Sunday night...finally released him. Which I got to tell you was worrysome.  Cause the last few times he has been in there they kept him for a week or a little more...and by that time he has weakened so much he has to go to a phys therapy center to help get his strength back up before they will release him which can take up to a month.  So needless to say I am relieved to have my grandfather home once more.  Also a little woried about today.which is another dialysis day.  Hoping today goes better so keep your fingers crossed.

On a side note, I watched some movies this weekend while I was working.  I know..I had to work some this weekend and it sucked.  Anywho...I watched 27 dresses with my mom...wasn't a bad movie...actually has some funny moments, also saw Jumper..again wasn't too bad, but thestory line could have been stronger...lastly I saw Bucket List...now that was a good movie..I'd recommend it to everyone...however it is a bit morbid to watch if you have someone in the hospital.  I sat there after the movie wondering if my grandfather had certain things he wished he could of done or seen then I started thinking about what things I'd like to do.  I'm still young..only 28, but you never know when your time is up.  So..for the rest of the year I am going to make it a point to save money up and the beginning of next year I am going to head to Europe and trek around for a few weeks.  It is something I have always wanted to do and never have.  What are some of the things that you want to do or see while you still can?

Zonies Night Out

Well...it was bar night last night for the Zonies group...only 3 of us showed...lol. It was fun though...drank and played pool for about 3 hours. Started with some bacardi and coke..then for some reason I got the craving for something sweet. Well damn if they didn't have any desserts there so I figured I would just order a sweet drink. I said surprise me. Don't do that. I highly recommend you avoid surprises in a bar...lmao...well guess that could be taken lots of ways but I'm stickin to the drinks in this blog...take your other bar surprises elsewhere So anyways...back to the drink..I got back something pink...a light strawberry after taste with enough sour in there to pucker me up for a minute. I don't know all that was in it..but half way down it was starting to taste good and I was starting to actually make some of those tricky pool shots...still wouldn't get it again though. So after that I ordered another rum and coke..yeah...they forgot it was bacardi and gave me well rum...suffered through half a glass then called it quits....just couldn't choke it down. So USCM1 and I go back to his place to play some Halo...note to self...next time bring my own box. Poor USCM1 had to haul his son's box and tv downstairs and set it all up...only to remember there is no hard drive so no downloadable maps so no real multiplay...so he was kind enough to play a couple matches with me while giving me some Malibu and sprite. Needless to say I was a happy drunken hermit last night and even better was no headache this morning. So bar night is a welcome event and I will return as often as it does

As for today...yeah...my gamertag is suspended..I call up...they tell me it is under investigation for improper usage...I'm like wtf? So I try to get on my old tag...same damn thing. Now...I am not going to point fingers, but I have a sneaky suspicion that someone (the ex) reported me with some bullshit charges just to piss me off and be spiteful. So hopefully all this will sort itself out in the unidentifiable time frame they gave me...in the mean time...I had to go and make a new tag. I'd post it, but hell..in case she actually gets on here I don't want her knowing it.

Well, I am off to fiddle in photoshop and see what other little tidbits I can uncover through my random explorations of the program.

I am pissed...

Those of you that know me...know that it takes me alot to get worked up about things. I am a really easy going guy and even though I am a single child I have that "middle child" syndrome where I try and fix things rather then let it escalate. Up to this point...I have felt saddened...depressed...regretful on how things went with my recent breakup. I am no longer any of these things...I am angry...still hurt some yes, but pissed to the max now. I feel more now that the whole relationship was a scam on her part and I walked right into it. I called her thinking that we might have some kind of friendship left between us after all we have been through together...I guess not. I had gone and gotten some blood work done recently...doc wants me to come in and talk about some more tests. (great... ) So I was hoping to have the friend in her to talk with...help ease my mind...nope. She was on the phone with me long enough to hear that I had to go again for tests and then she tells me she has to go. Next thing I know I see her hop online on the box into video chat with this guy she has been flirting with for awhile. Found out all of this from a mutual friend who just found out that she has been seeing him on the side. So great...now I really feel like a sucker. What adds to it all...and really compounds all of this for me. While we were together she was "supposedly having" financial problems...I helped out...got her electric in my name...over 5 months loaned her over 2 grand. I get the final electric bill in the mail today since she moved and I had it disconnected. Yeah...she hadn't been paying it...so another $450 stuck to me. I called her about it...she hung up on me. Guess I am not going to be seeing a dime of my money back. I am so pissed...damn her for scamming me...damn me for falling for it. Well, on the bright side...I am no longer upset about our break...I hope she rots in hell for what she did.
