  Super Mario Galaxy and finding the time to game!

  Trying to finally complete Super Mario Galaxy after all these years. Gaming has gotten away from me and now I'm set on returning back to the glory days of game game game. I find myself tossing my butt on the couch and just watching boring ass TV instead of going to play a game. I use to game a lot, for example: Go to school, come home, eat, play games. Then, college, work, play games. After college it was full time work then play games. Social life on the weekend and girlfriends in between. Now, after I started and ended my two job trek, I haven't gotten back into the gaming mode. Time to change that!!

  My reason for focusing solely on Super Mario Galaxy is because I don't have a TV in my "game room" at the moment, where my Ps3 and Xbox 360 reside. I have the Wii setup in my living room and made a deal with myself I wont put the Xbox or PS3 in there. I want to focus on the Wii as I also have Mario Galaxy 2, Goldeneye, Metroid Trilogy, Zelda, and Super Mario bro, oh! and 25th Anniversary Edition to play around with.

  After being on my own for over a year and a half, I'm planning on moving back home to pay off some debt and save for a house (My brother too). In the interim, I plan to go back to school for a year course I'm eyeing. Just to add skills to my skill tree.

  That's it for now. Hope all of you are enjoying your summer.

  Cheers!

  Happy a lot a new, year

  New year and a lot of new things! A lot has happened since my last post. I've had time today to sit down and write this new blog for 2012 as I took the day off from work to rest. Happy New Year to all who read this. I have come to the conclusion I like to write blogs once in a while just to read them in the future, more so then to write them for veiwers to read, but if you are one of the very few that do read this, I thank you and hope you enjoy.

  I'm still working two jobs, the money is great, but I seem to never pay down my credit card with it! Go figure. More money = more spending haha. Time to manage my money a little better. I recently sold my old car, 02 Jetta, and bought myself a 2012 Veloster with a very nice down payment, so I'm saving a lot of money there now with lower car payments and lower insurance! Never thought I'd buy a Hyundai, but after doing a lot of research and looking at a lot of different cars I was sold on the Veloster. It's basically everything I want and fully loaded for a great price you can't complain....even if it isn't a race car. I miss my turbo I had in the jetta but I'm happy with my new car and it's fuel economy!

  I have also planned to move out of my apartment I share with a friend of mine. I am moving to a new building down the street and my brother and his girlfriend are moving in with me. I get along great with my bro and I'm sure that it'll feel a lot more like home. I have just two and a half more weeks before I move. Thats pretty much just two more weekends to get stuff packed and ready for the move. I'm very excited! Moving does equal more debt but it's being managed in the way of buy now and pay later through the store. I've had great experience with this and it helps. I know what you're thinking....not the best way to be managing money when trying to pay off debt. Car payment and no interest -no payment plans from stores don't count for me when it comes to spending money, instead wasting money is more like going out to dinner and the bar every weekend. Christmas didn't help either and I had some major repairs to do on the jetta before I sold it. I ended up buying a new TV, coffee table, end tables and a couch for the living room for my new place. I needed these things as my room mate owned this stuff. I can pay off my credit card and save up to pay these items off in due time without worry.

  In gaming news, I've had the pleasure to start playing Skyrim on the 360 and I'm loving it. I have yet to manage a good schedule for getting some gaming time in on a regular basis but I play games when I can. New years resolution = play more games! I thought I'd also mention here I just bought the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone, my contract was up and so I decided to pick this one up right away since it had just become available to my service provider. I wrote a blog back in May of 2011 about the Google Nexus S, this phone was great and is my reason I now have the latest and greatest by Samsung and in love with Android.

  So that's it for now, 2012, new car, new phone, new apartment, new tv,new resolution and a place to look forward to calling home. I'll update this blog once I'm all moved in.

  Cheers.

  Sunday Sunday

  Well well.....here we are again. I can't believe it has already been 4 months since I last posted on here. A ton of change has happened in my life since May, the summer blew by and I have been working a new job since June 30th. The new job has been keeping me super busy as I'm currently still working at my evening job part time. Good money but I can't do65 plus hours a week forever.
  
  It's sad to say but I've onlysat down to play a game once or twice since I started this crazyjob schedule. I should be playing a game now as I type this butI've decided to brush up on whats been happening in the world of gaming and check things out on-line like we all do in ourfree time, you know,facebook, update our pictures, music, organize our computers. I feel like I'm familiarizing myself to my own life haha. Mix that all up living on your own with just a room mate, no time to cook a nice home cooked meal during the week and barely have time to keep things tidy you have a lot going on. Tossing in a girlfriend you would think would just make it all even more stressful, but shes amazing and supportive and we have this weekend thing working out for the both of us.
  
  I hope to get things finalized with my day job as I'm only on contract for 3 months and thats ending very soon. Things are looking good and I have a lot to learn to become really experienced.....more to follow.
