OK. So I hopped on the Halo 3 bandwagon. The problem is, I was terrible at Halo 2. Not just bad, the absolute pits! I started gaming a couple of years ago, and ventured into a Halo room maybe three times. Clueless. I couldn't get a grip on the maps, I didn't know the wapons . . .Everyone else had been playing since the original Halo came out. So, I abandon ship, so to speak, and got hooked on COD and GEARS. I am streaky, but I do well enough to enjoy it.

I'm sitting in the small town of Broaddus, just outside of Lufkin, Texas. I'm "surfing" the net on a Gateway PC older than dirt with a dial-up modem. By the the time I reach a site, I forget what I went there for.

If the day looks kinder gloomy
And your chances kinder slim,
If the situation's puzzlin'
And the prospect's awful grim,
If perplexities keep pressin'
Till hope is nearly gone,
Just bristle up and grit your teeth
And keep on keepin' on.

Frettin' never wins a fight
And fumin' never pays;
There ain't no use in broodin'
In these pessimistic ways;
Smile just kinder cheerfully
Though hope is nearly gone,
And bristle up and grit your teeth
And keep on keepin' on.

Little Johnny returns from school and says he got an F in arithmetic.
"Why?" asks the father.
"The teacher asked 'How much is 2x3?' and I said '6'"
"But that's right!"
"Then she asked me 'How much is 3x2?'"
"What's the damn difference?"
"That's exactly what I said!"
