    Blog Theraphy

    I actually wrote a blog much earlier in the year but it didn't post and you know how frustrating that can be. This has been one heck of year no matter where you look. Financially, half the country is greedy and rich the other half is barely making it. Sports - Bull riding, my 3 favorite bull riders Adriano, Paulo Crimber, and Brian Canter are all out injured. Two very badly and Adriano is retiring after this year. But I did get to see the first three rounds of the world finals last year and all three were in it so at least I got to see them live and riding well once. Sports Baseball - I'm a Cleveland Indians fan so this year has been unwatchable, so I didn't. But living out here in Vegas I couldn't help but take a peek at the Dodgers and they made it to the play offs. And now it looks like the Cubs want to hand them the series on a silver plate so what the hey. Their AAA affiliate is blowing out of town next year but this year Vegas can still claim a piece of the Dodgers. Ministry, we've been serving under another ministry this year so it's been kind of quite. Of course what I call quite many may call crazy so it's all relative. Politics, I'm a registered voter, been one since I was 18 and I vote pretty much whenever the polls open. If any one reads this I encourage you to do the same. Vote, Vote, Vote, If you don't vote, don't complain afterwards. School/Work - Do what you love and the money will follow, if it doesn't at least you'll be happy when you work. Don't believe the hype though a college degree does not guarantee you a job. Graduate from high school, a diploma is always better than a GED, and then go from there. Trade school, Apprenticeship, College 2 or 4 year, or job market. If you want to go to school go no matter how old you are or how long it will take. If you live long enough you will be older regardless but would you rather be older with or without the degree you want? I'm back in school for career number 2 training and I'm loving it. TV - I miss Court TV, they've dumbed it down at night now with repeats of the same tired police chases, catfights, mob riots, and stupid criminals. The only smart shows left in the evening are Forensic files, Crime 360, Suburban Secrets, and Dominic Dunnes' Power Privilege and Justice. They even made the name and the motto STUPID. Tru TV not reality but actuality!?!, What the HECK is that!!!! That doesn't even make sense!

    Last but not least Gaming - I have an idea for a Christian RPG. I've been working it out on paper. I think it's sellable. Once I work it out I have to figure out what to do next. In the mean time I've been playing different PlayFirst games, the Sims 2, and as always Dungeon Siege. I haven't felt like laying down $50 for Space Siege yet so we will see about that later. I like the Sims 2 better than the original. I never liked the idea that basically everything was based on having a bunch of friends. If you spend a lot of time with the Sims you're probably not very social so why would it follow that you would want to be forced to play a social butterfly to be successful. On the old Sims I would basically just build houses and lots, decorate them and watched what happened for a while. But with the Sims2 new elements I've actually spent time playing it with a limited social calendar and not suffer much if any for it. I like that.

    Well, therapy time over, I'll pay myself on the way out.

    Missing in Action

    Hey everyone,  It's been a long time but I am still alive and kicking.  I haven't been posting or bloging because I just haven't had anything to say. Life has been speeding along and I been floating along in the current. Alot of things are set to change in my life and I've been busy doing my part.

    PBR - I love this sport.  I still Luv Adriano, but my current favorite bullrider is Brian Canter.  He will most likely never see this but my prayers are with him and the rest of the American team as they compete in the World Cup in Aussie land next week.

    MLB - The Yankees, HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA. And they thought they were buying championships.  They forgot, Baseball is a team sport, no team, no trophy just a bunch of names.   Go Tribe!!!

    NBA - The Kobe show I mean the Lakers,  hahahahahahahahaha, again,  they forgot it's a team sport, no team no trophy.   Go Cavs!!!

    Gaming - Been keeping up mostly through X-Play and Attack of the Show.  Lots of interesting stuff but not enough to cause purchases. I'll probably buy the final fantasy game that "recently" came out on the Game Boy Advance.  Been looking to see if there are plans to upgrade the Sim City Universe, maybe come out with Sim City 5,  plan to do some of that digging here as soon as I finish this blog. Also want to see if anything new is happening with Unreal Tournament.  Be nice if Namco would do something with these light guns.  It's annoying to always have to go to the local arcade just to get a light gun fix and there isn't much happening there either.

    Oh Well,  Happy Gaming Ya'll

    Since I've been gone

    For the past several weeks I was either preparing for the trip of a life time or on the trip of a life time so I have not been posting.  But I'm back now so here goes.

    I'm a PBR fan so I have to give a shout out (that he will never see but I don't care) to my favorite bull rider Adriano Moraes for winning the World Title a historic 3 time.

    A "Way to go Buckeye's!!!" to my Alma Mater OSU for being undefeated (football), going to the big show, and producing the Heisman trophy winner Troy Smith. 

    I bought a GameBoy Advance SP for my trip so I will see if there are any games listed that I bought that I can review.  I bought almost all boardgames & card games - throw backs to my youth - so there may not be much to review other than the system itself which I will, because I really like what I got for what I spent.

    Lastly, During my plane ride they showed the movie My Super Ex Girlfriend with Uma Thurmun.  I thought this was a hiliarous movie. I enjoyed it from begining to end. I especially liked the end which I thought was creative and greatfully not sappy. Tied up all loose ends but still left enough room that if it was popular enough they could make a cute sequel.

    Happy Holidays
