If the everyone in the world moves to the beat of a different drum, then why dont we see more drumsticks on our roads and highways like cigarette butts?

I just wanted to say - Im fairly excited about Halo 3. Thas all - nothing else... if you want more information, theres about a million-point-five people blogging about a trailer and talking like they know whats going to be in the game... but I dont know whats in the game, nor do I know when I can get it. 2007 is a long year, roughly 365 days, thats a lot of time to work with. Should I epect more of the same (like halo 2)? Or will it be totally different? Its all about multiplayer to me, and thats what I want to see made better (if possible).

Americans will put up with anything provided it doesnt block traffic.

Not merely an absence of noise, Real Silence begins when a reasonable being withdraws from the noise in order to find peace and order in his inner sanctuary. Peter Minard

Xbox live gets loud very easily - sometimes its nice to just play a campaign level once in a while and enjoy the reletive silence (of no headset).

The people who are regarded as moral luminaries are those who forego ordinary pleasures themselves and find compensation in interfering with the pleasures of others. Bertrand Russell
British author, mathematician, & philosopher (1872 - 1970)

I feel this happens a lot on Xbox live.  Timmies interfere with my pleasure all the time - are they moral luminaries?... Comments anyone?

So I borrowed 2 games from my nephew to play so I can get a respectable amount of points.  Im not crazy about American Wasteland, as I have never been very good at the Tony Hawk games, but I am on vacation and decided to try it.  I went into career (or whatever its called) and after changing my hair and clothes... I got 50 points!  Wow - thats the easiest 50 points Ive ever gotten in this 360 universe.

I am a somewhat serious gamer and a game like BF2-MC for 360 is killing me. ;; It has requirements for getting medals, and medals are needed to rank up. ;; I have played for 3 days, yesterday for around 7 hours, and I still dont have a medal. ;; Am I whinning, yea, I guess I am.

How can you get a medal for healing other people when you cant talk to them?  The communication is so hit and miss, its impossible.

How can you get a medal for repairing vehicles when they are so easily destroyed?

Im a little pissed about the multiplayer aspect of BF2 360.  There are communication, lag, and team balance issues.  It seems very easy, if you have a couple of good players on your side, to dominate.  Its tough to mount any type of defense to this carnagfe because the communication is hit and miss.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt.  I traded in 6 games and still had to pay 20 bucks for this game. 

My first entry in my blog... and there it is... enjoy it, cuz Im done.
