I sure am happy right now. I am a week and a couple of days away from seeing the Braves play a game in Turner Field for the first time ever (see blog entry about my gift). I will have gone two months without smoking on Thursday. I used the money I have saved from not smoking and bought a PSP yesterday. I am looking forward to picking up some games and movies (since I haven't owned any Sony product in years, there are a ton of old PSP games/franchises that will be new to me) for the PSP soon (any recommendations? Patapon is a definite and I am thinking about Hot Shots Golf also).

I generally try to keep my blog focused on gaming, but today I want to brag on myself for something that is totally unrelated to gaming: I haven't had a cigarette in over a month. There is no bad reason to quit, but I had a particularly good reason to do so: my Dad died in his 50s from COPD that he got because of his smoking. He desperately wanted me to quit smoking throughout his life, but especially after he was diagnosed with the COPD. I tried, but could never do it.

Leading up to the big day, my wife had mentioned that she got me a V-Day present that will actually cover our anniversary and my birthday in the process.  I tried to think of more expensive items that I had mentioned wanting and the only one I could really think of was the Tritton 5.1 surround sound headsets.  Those are pricey, but not really three gift-giving occasions pricey.  So, I thought she might have gotten me a PS3, but I don't know if I have shared my growing interest in getting a PS 3 with her other than maybe an off-handed mention.  Also, my wife tends to know better than to get

I have been an XBox guy for as long as the brand has existed.  I briefly owned a PS2, but I never played any of the Devil May Cry games.  So, I was pretty excited to finally get to see what all the fuss was about when the demo was released on XBL late last week.  I was even more excited since DMC is a Capcom game and I absolutely loved Dead Rising.
