Always look on the bright side of life!

Somedays just seem to really go in a direction that you never seen coming....if you've had a day like this recently just remember these Monty Python lyrics and who knows....maybe things will get abit less hectic for ya.

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...

The day before Easter

So here we are, one day before Easter and two days before the wife turns 48....needless to say our home will be filled with complete chaos. I say this because quite simply put....this is how it works in my world.

The wife is planning on where we need to put the kids...she don't want to know my idea on this subject, believe me.

As with any family gathering there is sure to be turmoil and madness, this is something I've come to expect.

My mother will nag in her own special way of nagging, that the meal we plan on serving is not diebetic friendly. Dear lord mom, just eat something! It's not as if your situation requires you to take a shot two or three times a day! It's managable by diet and diet alone in your situation! I guess all is not lost...more peeps for me!

My mother in-law will be loud as always, wondering why the great grandkids are afraid of her....maybe if she didn't scream at the top of her lungs inbetween breaths from her oxygen hose. Which by the way works better if you actually inhale thru the nose where it might actually work as it is was intended.

The wifes youngest daughter....the devil who wishes she wore prada, is pissed off at the family because we all have issues with her moronic, abusive loser of a boyfriend....as with every other easter/birthday event in this house, she will be sure to try and ruin it for everyone in her own special way....because she's not the center of attention.

My oldest son is having issues with the car we got back from the prada princess...the door key was missing and the power locks keep locking up on the boy. Last night we got ripped off big time when a locksmith came to f*&% us in the ass...let me tell ya it hurt real bad. The princess told us she would bring over the door key earlier in the day...never happened. But once we recovered from our sore asses guess what I found in the glove box? No it wasn't ky gel...it was the door key!

And to top off everything off, I've just learned not but 15 minutes ago, that my wife is going to pick up 2 of the grandkids so she can watch them for a few hours while her daughter makes a birthday cake.

Did I say so she can watch the kids? Lets think about that line for a minute shall we....oh it's gonna be a fun day. I think I'm gonna fill the plastic easter eggs the wife plans on hiding in the yard with dog poo....now that will be a treat!

Spring break has not been much of a break in this house...thank god I go back to work on monday

Return from the dead

My first real venture into Halo 2 turned out just as I predicted....man was it ugly!

The guys and gals who allowed me into their world went above and beyond what other gamers would do when a total noob enters the world of Halo. Assault  on Relic was fun....deadly for me but fun non the less.

Slayer had me confussed, so I just ran around and tried to kill anything that was blue before they killed me...ha ha ha. I will say that for a noob I'm pretty proud of my killing spree of three, even though I only had a total kill count of 4 by match end..

What really matters for me after having played last night was this...the members of  our 2old2play community really do make gaming on live fun. I wish thank mr sleestack and all members of 2o2pwn for inviting me into the games last night.

Tonight I shall die...numerous times

Tonight I actually will venture full bore into the world of Halo 2, thanks to a recruitment ad from 2old2pwn. I know for a fact that I will die....over and over again. I've only ventured online with this game once since having my 360...my youngest boy watched as I got my ass handed to me again and again.

"Dad, want me to play for you so you don't look so bad?" he asked me with a shit eating grin on his face.

I played for all but 10 minutes before logging off in disgust...at myself and the timmies I was playing with. My intro to Halo 2 was forever tainted in my mind.

So here I am....soon to be 42 and getting set to play the game again. Sure I know I'll die numerous times tonight, but at least I'll die knowing that those who are going to be fragging me are decent enough folk who will at least give me a chance to learn the game.

I'll post about tonight outcome friday morning...wish me luck.
