its been a while.... a new update or 2

alot has been going on....

new job is great.  something new. the hours are great. and the people i work with couldnt be more enjoyable.  The more time i have at home is awesome.  the kids and i played 4 player castle crashers which is awesome!!!!!!!!!! i had to get a new xbox. My other was yet again a victim to the rrod so i got the core system and am going to send this one in. Probably pass it down to my kids when i get it back.

the house is finally done for the winter, but i am making a list for the spring time to work on the outside. We have a woods behind the house i am going to clear out in the spring. Going to cut down 10 trees and clear the brush so we will be able to use it when the weather gets nice again. Camp out with the kids in the back yard.

I want a dog. 1 because i love dogs and ever since i have lived on my own have generally had 1, But i also want a dog for security. We live in a small town but still. i want a dog here for my wife and kids. I have done and been taught the same training that police dogs go through so whateer dog i get will be well trained.  i am looking at, german shepards, rotties, and golden retrievers. i am leaning more towards a golden because they are more of a family dog. Yes germans and rots are good dogs but they become attached to one person and a golden is more of a family dog.

neks and i have been looking for 2 people to play in gamebattles and MLG 09 season for an event or 2. we have alot of prospects and hopefully we will get a solid 4 in the next coming weeks.  i am ready to get back to the militant side of halo, the break has been nice but i am ready to hit it again. i am the type of player that will play any game type with anyone but the best part of halo for me is the down and dirty comp play............ 49 - 49 or 4 caps to 4 caps with both flags out ready to cap....... its a grwat drenaline rush and plaing at an event is even that more exciting. last years placings  at meadows was ok and orlando was a disappointment. but we know the follies and now its time to do what we know we can do. we have played pros and semi pros, won and lost games. We have a good base of teams to scrim to get ready. i have met in the last couple weeks alot of great players and teams. teams and players on the circuit now that or more then willing to scrim us. so hopfully things will go better and if they dont, o well, at the end of the day we are still the same people. some people look at it like a waste of time, i look at it like the road less traveled. There are plent of gamers out there 25 and older that probably could compete if they tried, but they just dont want to put the time into learning a new game like that......................... or they view it as a " young mans" sport. lol :)

I got gears 2, love the campaign i am slowly making it through insane by myself, and i mean slowly. G1 campaign really was great and G2 is even better cant wait for the thrid. I can almost say campign for gears is better then halo's camapign in terms of gameplay. both stories are great.  I love horde mode and the MP is a great relaxing break from halo.  the only real complaint i have about MP in G2 is the Chainsaw magnet. IMO if you shotty a rev'd chainsaw the chainsaw should drop....... shotty should beat Chainsaw not the other way around but no game is perfect halo has it's faults i generally dont dwell on them.  but MP is enjoyableand i have played with some guys and gals from 2o2p i havent seen in a long time, and its been ncie to reconnect with them.

beyond that i have been working out and have made promise to my kids to quit smoking on Jan 1, and when it comes to them i dont break promises. :)

more to come.....
