August 2007

I knew that having a Wii I would be moving around more, but I had no idea that I would be so sore. Yes I’ve had sore thumbs when playing video games, but this is a whole new thing for me. Never once have I been so sore when playing video games. I mean it’s a good thing I suppose, this way I can be more active while doing what I love to do. With all the movement that’s involved, I think I’ll be only able to move my thumbs when Halo 3 comes out, at least that’s all I’ll have to move.

When I worked at that furniture store, they had a lot of furniture in the store, but they weren’t doing that good when it came to delivering it. I guess that’s because they spent most of their time and money dealing with broken incoming furniture than actually handling furniture built correctly. But I guess that’s to be expected when you are selling cheap furniture, as opposed to ones that have a good reputation. I believe that if you are going to buy furniture, then it should have a good reputation and cost more than you most people make in a week. If I ever worked at a furniture store again I would make sure to work at one where the living rooms cost at least twice as much as the one I worked at. After luxury furniture is the best kind, isn’t it?

Krissy and I went out tonite and picked up the Wii play and a 2000 point Wii Points card. She picked up a skin for herself too. Afterwards we went to Blockbuster to pick up Rayman Raving Rabbits because she had wanted it for the DS, but decided to see how she’d like it on the Wii first.

Earlier today when we first started playing, Bella was afraid of it. We originally thought it was ommitting a high pitched only dog can hear kind of buzzing, but after some testing, we found out she was afraid of the movements we were making, but she seems to be okay now and isn’t trying to dig her way out of the room. Go figure, if either one of us hits the other person (not violently) she’s all for hopping up and playing, but when we make motions of bowling and tennis, the poor dog is scared to death. Damn dog.

I am by no means an expert in the SEO market, so when I find places that help with SEO then I take them. I found an Austin SEO Firm that will help you get the targeted audience you want. The audience that your appealing to has numerous benefits, but the most important one is profits. With your audience being the one you want, you will be able to make the kind of profits that you want and deserve.

Krissy has been playing the Wii since we got it. Now this is somewhat of a shock, considering, yes she plays the DS that I got her for Valentine’s Day, and yes she does play the occasional game of Hexic. But this is a girl who told me when I met her that she hated video games, and now here she is, seven hours later still playing Wii Sports bowling and tennis. She keeps kicking my ass.

I shiop online, I just bought a Wii didn’t I? Well now when I am shopping online I can get things for cheaper. I found a website that coupons for over 6000 stores. It even has a jewelry tv coupon so when I buy Krissy jewelry for a special occassion, or a time when I did something stupid (face it men we all do stupid stuff at times that require jewelry) I can get it at a discount.

The Wii arrived today, earlier than expected. It is great. Krissy and I have been playing tennis, bowling, and baseball. The games are just fun in general. It isn’t your traditional game system, that’s for sure. Nintendo definitely knew what they were doing when they made it.

Metroid Prime 3 comes out later this month, which I am definitely going to get. I just wish there was some online games, at least Mario Kart will be online, now that game is fun no matter what system you are on.

San Francisco, home of the Tanner’s house from Full House and the home of Battlebots, the only show on television where specially designed radio controlled robots beat the crap out of each other. It is also home to trolleys and the Golden Gate Bridge. I’d love to go there for some San Francisco Sightseeing . The hills there look awesome, I don’t know if I’d want to drive on them, but I would definitely love to get some pictures of the hills and the houses that are on them. One of the things I’d do there would be sailing. Apparently San Francisco is a big sailing city, and I would love to be on a boat sailing and possibly even fishing.

Yes I’d love to visit San Francisco, especially around Chinese New York. Did you know that most of the videos you see of the dragon in the Chinese New Year Parade are actually from the San Francisco celebration? I’ve never been to any Chinese New Year, but it does look like a good time. Now I am in no way Chinese, but I would definitely love to partake in the festivities. What celebration would you love to partake in and why?

Grand Theft Auto IV has been delayed until Spring 2008. Believe it or not, I was expecting this. Why? Well they announced it at E3 2006 with no trailer and the official trailer was released only a few weeks ago. It didn’t really seem possible that they were working on it long enough that the trailer would only come out when it did, if they were nearly finished with the game.

So that is one game down that I won’t be buying in 2007, but I would love it if Assassin’s Creed stayed on track. I don’t know what it is about that game, but I am definitely liking the way it looks.

Metroid Prime 3 is set to hit later this month, hopefully my Wii gets here by then, there isn’t any new updates on where my Wii is, hopefully it is still on time and will get here next week.

I keep seeing those commercials for debt consolidation, and it made me realize why there are so many commercials for it. The credit card companies target college students. Most college students are poor, so any extra money will help them out, so a credit card seems like just the thing to help them have fun, without having to work extra hours. For those of you who think I don’t know what I am talking about, how many times are credit card representatives on college campuses offering free gifts to sign up for credit cards? I will admit, I got mine from a Six Flags, and not from a college campus, but they were there. I just already had a $2500 credit card bill when I went to college, that’s why I was weary of them.

Banks are way too easy at giving away money to college students. I am not just talking about the loans they give you to help you pay for college, I am talking about they will give you a credit card on a student account so you also use all the money in your checking account, and then owe your own bank money. About the only type of loan a college student can’t get is secured personal loans and that is mainly because they don’t have the collateral to put up to get the loan.

I took out the motherboard from Krissy’s computer and put in one of mine. I threw out the case my motherboard was in. I am now one computer less, and now I need to figure out what to do with the remaining two computers. One will be a server, but I do not know when. I am going to try hosting files on it once it is uop and running, maybe a testing server for running a Linux distro. I don’t know much about Linux, but what I can learn as I go.

I have been through three cars since I have been 18 years old. My first car, a Honda Civic, had 75,000 miles on the odometer, but it was clear to a mechanic that the miles had been rolled back. I was burning oil in that car and soon after it was dead. My second car, a Subaru Legacy, had 300,000 miles on it and the transmission went. I couldn’t go in revers, so I had to either push it backwards, or park it head on. I didn’t want to spend money on used transmission because the car had so many miles on it, so I decided to buy the car I have now, a Chevy Beretta.

I have had my Chevy Beretta for over two years, I have taken numerous trips in it, from Delaware to Ohio, to New York and back again. The car does have its problems, but the main reason I bought it was because a new transmission was put in it a month before, so I figured the transmission should last me a while. I think I need to give it an oil change, but that isn’t too bad, it’s a good car and it should hopfuilly last me a while longer.
