I am going to go to EB Games at around 11:30, I might pick up some water before hand so I can drink that tomorrow instead of soda. I haven’t gotten much sleep, but I still have every intention of giving you guys my impressions of the game tonight, and playing it until I pass out. From what I hear the campaign is short, but it is still great. It should be longer than the Gears of War campaign that I managed to plow through in about five hours or so.
My car is hanging on by a thread, well actually according to the mechanic a switch, literally. So I have been thinking, since the other loans don’t seem to be working out, that I might want to try for a Car Loan. Yes it would be more money, especially when I am the only one paying it back, along with the full coverage insurance I would need, but I might actually be able to get it considering that if I don’t pay the loan, they take the car. They give loans out easier if you put something up as collateral, and the other loans didn’t have anything, so maybe a Car Loan might help. After all I do need a car, and despite the extra money I would need to put out for insurance, it would be worth it to have a reliable mode of transportation, just in case something happens in New York or New Jersey and I need to go up there.
I have always loved Flash. I mean the previous splash page I had was done in Flash, and even the Matrix Has You graphic on my Matrix section was done in Flash. I don’t know much of it, but I have always wanted to learn more. Well now it seems like I might get to. I have an opportunity to learn Flash much like the same opportunity I had when I was learning PHP. So for the next couple of days and possibly weeks I will be trying to learn some of the more advanced things in Flash (I already know some of the basics).
I’ve been applying for loans left and right, but I have been denied left and right. I’m thinking about working with EZUnsecured. I might be able to get an Unsecured Line of Credit through them. The process is very easy, and if I am accepted then I will get the money fast. There’s no need to wait for all that paperwork the other companies seem to take months to complete. Plus from my experience so far, people have been extremely nice and helpful. I have very bad credit, due to some late payments a few years ago, so I will let you know how everything goes and if I have the loan or not.
I am going to try and mess up my sleeping schedule tonight as much as I can. Maybe I will go to sleep around 11AM tomorrow and then take a nap tomorrow after I wake up, so I can be fully rested for my Haloathon on Tuesday. I don’t think I will be staying up for 24 hours playing, but I want to get as much playtime in as I can on Tuesday, without stopping. I know this may sound strange to a lot of you, but I am doing this so I can get it out of my system and be able to work and blog, and not have to look at the 360 and want to play.
I like to learn. The job I have now, I mainly took because I could take it and learn while working. One day I would love to get certified in Networking or A+. Computer hardware has always fascinated me so a certificate in one of those would definitely pique my interest. I’ve looked into it and I found a CCNA certification training program that seems to be pretty good. It would cost me some money, but I wouldn’t have to sit through english and math, I could go right through to the networking aspect and get right into how to network computers and make sure that they are secure, so as to not get any hackers breaking through the system.
Sony revealed that the Playstation 2 is still a viable gaming system and that they will continue to make games for it. I was a Sony fan since the original Playstation, but I don’t remember many games coming to it after the Playstation 2 came out, but that might be because the Playstation 2 was an instant success. Playstation 3 is failing to gain a market, and just because they recently announced that the dualshock controller would be back, doesn’t mean that the Playstation 3 would even gain enough speed to utilize their old friend.
Microsoft stopped making XBox games a few months after it came out, and they never said the original was a part of their main focus after the debut of the 360, aside from some companies releasing downloadable content for the original XBox games. So it sounds to me like Sony might be sweating a little bit, especially with the delay of Home. Home sounds good in theory, but unless they have something that XBox and the Sims Online doesn’t have, I don’t think it will be as popular as they are hoping.
I’ve always wanted to do work on my car, but it is so hard to get under there that I normally just take it to a place to get simple work done, like an oil change or a brake job. Well I found out that you can get a car lift for your garage. Previously I did not know this, so I am thinking about getting one when I have a garage so I can use it for doing work on my car. It would be a lot cheaper than going to a service station, and if I know how to do it, then it would make things that much easier.

I really need to start eating better. I’ve decided that maybe it isn’t a lack of exercise, but a lack of eating nutritious food. I woke up today with violent poopage, and I have decided that it is most likely due to the things I eat. So I am going to stop drinking so much soda (right now I have eight cans of finished soda on my desk) and start drinking water. I figure when I pick up Halo 3 (I’m leaving on Monday at 11:30 PM), I can go to Superfresh and get some water. Then I can drink water all day while I am playing, instead of the soda I would normally consume. I figure I drink more soda than anything, so I would instantly start to cleanse my system by drinking a couple bottles a day, plus I probably wouldn’t be so thirsty.
My cousin has Diabetes, and it is sad, but that is actually the least of his problems. He has insurance, now, but my aunt told me that there was a time when he didn’t have insurance. Diabetes isn’t a disease you want to have witghout insurance, between testing supplies, and insulin shots, and an insulin pump, if needed, it would all cost a pretty penny. Unfortunitely not everyone is fortunate enough to have insurance. Luckily now there is ascensia diabetic testing supplies. Ascenia is a diabetic supply company for people with diabetes who do not have insurance.
I’ve known many people with diabetes, and I have seen how much it can cost. I am just thankful that I myself don’t have it and hopefully I never will. Even with insurance it is very pricey, and if I didn’t have insurance, there would be no way I could afford it. At least I could go to Ascensia and get cheaper supplies. That’s one good thing, right?
So my car cost me over $500. The card that I just paid off a couple days ago, now has to get paid off again next month. It shouldn’t be that bad, though, because I should have the money next month to pay it off, and pay a lot off the other card as well. Let’s just hope I have as much as I think I am going to have, it would suck if I didn’t. Now all I need to do is get a loan.
I went to EB Games tonight and paid for the rest of Halo 3, so I am all paid for and I can pick it up Tuesday at midnight. I am going to try and sleep most of the day on monday so I can get it at midnight and play it most of the night. Remember I will be giving my thoughts on the game on here and I will also giving a review of the game probably on Wednesday. If you want to stop by on XBox, let me know. I cleared out some people on my Friends List.
As you know I have been applying for loans left and right lately.I’ve tried personal loans, secured loans, even mortgages, but I haven’t been able to get any of them. Maybe I am not supposed to move, I really don’t know. We may have to get a co-signer to be able to get a loan, but that is a route that I really don’t want to take. Not that I don’t think I will be able to pay the loan back, but that is basically getting defeated you know? It’s like saying I couldn’t do it alone please help me. I am kind of tired of doing that.I may just have to do some debt consolidation to pay back everything I already owe and start fresh.
