Gamestop has been calling me all day telling me about how I get an extra 30% when I trade in games because I reserved a copy of Halo 3. That is all fine and dandy, too bad I traded everything I wanted to get rid of months ago when I preordered Halo 3. If I had known that I would have gotten more money, then of course I would have waited, but no one tells you about promotions in advance, so I didn’t wait. I just wish they would stop calling me and taunting me.
Krissy really wants a Mac. I might put some money to one if she does decide to buy one, she would mainly be using it for work, I would use it for music and Photoshop. I might even use it for some games. The original Halo was perceived on a Mac, so I might get that. I’d also like to pick up some poker software for the Mac. I really want to get into playing poker and gain some strategies that I can take to a casino.
I’ve been on Fulltilt Poker studying the moves people make and why they make them, and I think I have learned quite a bit from going there. The people there are usually nice, and some have even given me some personal tips if I tell them that I haven’t played much in the past.
Pokerstars seems to have the best of the best. The stakes are high, and they don’t really offer many tips, but watching them play is amazing, you don’t know what some of them are thinking and then they pull out pocket aces and then you realize that they knew what they were doing all along.
The president interrupted your regularly scheduled television shows tonite to bring you himself in high definition. An idiot in high definition is just as much of an idiot as he was in other definitions. I don’t care what he has to say, I don’t believe anyone should have to listen to the man, or any president. He should have his own special channel, or just on news channels and not during other shows. But if he was on a channel that wasn’t one of the primary channels, then would you turn it on? Let’s put him where he belongs, on MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News, not on ABC, NBC, and Fox.
I’ve blogged a lot about how I am in a couple thousand dollars worth of debt, and I am doing good with paying everything back, and while I don’t think I am going to be needing help paying things back, I think I will need help getting my credit back. I’ve been thinking about getting some credit cards for bad credit. See while my number one priority is to pay off the cards, I cannot forget that I also need to build my credit back up. Without a good credit score I’d never be able to get a mortgage, or a car loan, or even a non-prepaid cellphone. That is why I am so dedicated to paying back the credit cards and getting my credit back up.
When I first heard about Spiderman: Friend or Foe, I was excited by it, but as screenshots and more information came out about it I became less excited. The demo was put on XBox Live today and I haven’t downloaded it yet, but I will probably download it later tonight. I love all things Spiderman, don’t get me wrong, but going from a wide open New York City sandbox style game to one with predetermined levels, just seems a bit old school. I will still give the demo a chance, but I don’t know if I am goiing to pick up the game like I had previously anticipated.
I am always looking for good deals, even if it is on things that I don’t need and/or can’t afford. Maybe it is because I want as much as I can get, maybe it is the fact that people always seem to ask me where they can get good deals, I really don’t know why I do it, I just know that I do it. Well I found a website that you can get good priced electronics and appliances, without even leaving your house.The website is abtelectronics. Whether you are looking for a big screen television, or a basement dehumidifier, they have it all. They even have free shipping available, so what have you got to lose if you look there first for your electronic and appliance needs? You may even save a few dollars.
My birthday is next week and I might be spending it with Krissy in Ohio looking at apartments. We’ll see though, I don’t know what is going on from day to day as it is, so looking a week in advance is a bit of an overkill. If we do go, we’ll be sure to be back by the 25th so I can pick up Halo 3, I know it may seem like I am a bit obsessed, but after playing the beta earlier this year, I am absolutely psyched for the game.
Halo 3 comes out in thirteen days and I am taking in everything that is Halo 3. From the new vehicles to the new weapons, I just cannot wait. I am still planning the 24 hours of Halo 3, so if anyone wants to come online and say hi then my XBox Live handle is leprakhauns. Stop by for a game of multiplayer, or a few levels of campaign with me.
I will be blogging on the 25th all about Halo 3 so if you are interested then stop on by and see how excited I am on that day.
One of the gym teachers at my highschool told me about this thing called turducken. I havespent years trying to find out where I can get it, and now I have finally found a place that has it, and for a good price too. You can get it from CajunGrocer. For those of tyou who don’t know what turducken is, let me tell you. It is a Chicken stuffed inside a Duck stuffed inside a Turkey. All poultry, but three distinct flavors. If we have enough money, depending on what we are doing for Christmas and where we are, I might suggest to Krissy on getting a turducken for Christmas. That would be one delicious dinner.
My graphics card came today, I have my PC up and running. I went from what I had originally a 256 MB graphics card down to a 128 mb graphics card and not I am on a 64mb graphics card. It sucks that I don’t have more power, but I am also thinking of upgrading to a better processor or processors in the near future so I am going to need a new computer, which probably will not have an AGP slot, so that is why I am not too concerned.
With all the talk that Krissy and I have been doing talking about moving and about affording a house and all that good stuff, there are other plans we have been talking about sporadically that haven’t really been the main focus of conversations as of yet. Those plans are of kids, and what happens when or if we have them and all the things that comes along with kids. We’ve also talked about if we did have kids what would happen to them when we died. This of course led to talking about what we were to do if the other died.
We want to make it simple for the probate lawyers to be able to divide our property to family and loved ones, while keeping our wishes along with theirs in the best interest. I mean some people may see this as morbid, but the fact is that these are just life plans, for in case something happens. Life goes on and you need to make sure that your bases are covered and that you have everything set as to how you would like it when your gone.
The most important thing you can do is find a good lawyer. Someone who won’t try to stiff people out of money when your gone and someone who won’t end up screwing you or your family. Morris, Hall & Kinghorn is an Arizona firm that will make sure your wishes are fulfilled to the best of their ability.
Let me explain what is going on. First off I know I am behind on my Despair comments, but there is good reason for that. I am not in my own element. I am either on Krissy’s desktop or laptop (my laptop needs to get fixed too, I am just too lazy to sit down and do it). My desktop needs a new video card and right now that is getting shipped to Harrington, so I should have it either tomorrow or the next day. (The ETA is on the 13th) After I am back on my desktop then I will comment on all the despair people and approve comments that have been left here.
