Injustice is so cold...
...and right now I'm ****ing freezing 
Recently a certain user maliciously said bad things about my friend Andi, through a comment in Robert's blog, and by a thread in the main forums. Although the thread didn't refer to her by name, a little reading just plain out told me that it was about her. The blog comment got pointed out to a Mod, which in turn referred it to an Admin, who immediately suspended the account, however it turns out this account belong to another user on here and as a result the main account was banned for suspension dodging. So you'd think it's over with and all would be well right?
WRONG
Turns out this person used the excuse that it was a friend saying at their house who had that account and got it suspended it which led to the ban. Such BS!!!
It was a straight-up lie and everyone should've know it....that's just such an old and generic excuse, I don't see how it slipped by the Admins who decided to reinstate it! And plus eveyrone was acting like this person was such a great user...given what's been done by this person I sincerely doubt that.
So thanks GameSpot...you've just failed me again and lost what respect I still had for you.
Oh and if anyone's wondering..the name of the user I've been referring to throughout my entry is kellymae.

More Games >__>
Yesterday was my last final of the semester, which means time to sell back my textbooks for money, and having more money means time to go and buy some games
I went to Gamestop and picked up these 3 games:
I only paid this much for them...Orange Box: $40.49, MUA: $11.69, NASCAR 08: $22.49...all of which was after the 10% used discount at Gamestop.
I've been wanting the Orange Box for awhile now. I know that NASCAR 08 isn't exactly that great, but who knows I might have fun with it, plus it'll get me a little more anticipated for NASCAR 09 which most likely will be better from what I keep hearing about it. Also got MUA because it got recommended to me and I can play co-op with Andi and Lucas sometime as well

BioShockingly Raising Hell
So it's been awhile since I've bought a full retail game for my Xbox 360...sure there's been an arcade game or 2 in there, and some rentals that just come with easy achievement points, but I haven't gotten any to own since I bought Forza 2 back in December 
On the way back home from a trip to Martinsburg we had to take today I decided that since I had enough money that I wanted to stop at Gamestop to look around for a new game to get. After about 5-10 minutes of looking around I settled on getting this:
It's one that has been on my wish list for quite some time now ever since I played the demo back in September. Never have been big of FPS games, but the uniqueness of this one just got me so intrigued.
And since I'm on game purchases...the other day I bought this as well through XBL Marketplace:
Even though the boxshot is that of the PC version I did get it for the 360 version...just couldn't find a pic for it >__> For $10 you get a new level in each of the 5 worlds in the game called abysses that are basically a hellish version of that particular world with some new creatures to defeat while on your way to conquering the abyss. So far I've only gotten through 2 of the 5. For the price I say it's a worthy addition that certainly adds some extra replay value and I recommend it to those who play the game.

My heart has just been ripped from me.....
As some of you know, and some don't...back on January 23rd my dad went in for lung surgery to remove a cancerous growth. The surgery was a success and he was able to talk to us and everything right after. Overnight things went downhill quick and they put him on a breathing machine because his blood pressure and everything dropped real low. Don't know why this happened, but anyway he was on that for 2 weeks, and some days he was alert to us and everything...then they decided on a tracheotomy because of the risk of damaging his vocal cords for having the tube in his mouth for so long and it actually would help him to get off the ventilator quicker. After a couple more weeks he did get off the ventilator and was able talk to us even. Each and every day he continually to get better. The only thing was he couldn't have water and he so desperately wanted some because his mouth was so dry...even with swabbing it.
Back on Friday, they were able to discharge him from the hospital up to the nursing home that is in town here which was great because then we could see him everyday then since it's like a mile from here. On Saturday, they moved him to a room by himself because the room they first put him in was so stuffy and warm that he could not stand it at all anymore. He was so relieved and was looking forward to a good night's sleep for once.
Then come 1 AM today, just as I was going to bed..the nursing home called saying they was getting an ambulance and taking my dad to the hospital because he was unreponsive and that they were going to take him to the hospital where he was at before he got to the nursing. Then a couple minutes later they called again saying that he was so bad that they were taking him to the closest hospital instead. So my mom and I got dressed and ran down to the hospital. When we got there they said they were working on him, gave no details at all, and had us wait in a room for a few moments.
The ER doctor then came in and said that they did all they could....but there was nothing they could do...he was gone
Just like that my world just came crashing down...I don't know right now what to really do or where to turn. Time will just have to tell me I suppose.
I'm sure though here's getting all the water he wants right now.
You'll be missed Dad...
