It’s our anniversary today. She’s going to cook me dinner, Chick Fried Chicken, and I am taking her out on Monday to the Olive Garden. I got her a graphics card and installed it a few weeks ago because she really needed it. Nothing much going on today, why don’t you go and tell Krissy happy anniversary.
We don’t have a garage here. When we move, I am making sure it is someplace with a nice big one where I can fit my car, and a nice big stainless steel tool box for all of my tools. I’ll also be able to get a large supply of power tools and a work bench. Maybe I will invest in some vintage Mustang. Every guy’s dream is to own a classic car, you know.
I downloaded Aegis Wing on XBOX Live last night. It is a free download and so for a free game, it isn’t that bad. It is a 2D side scrolling flying that you kill aliens with. The single player game is kind of boring. The multiplayer, well anything is fun when you can latch on to someone and let them do the driving. So would I recommend it? It is free XBL achievements and a free game. If your looking for one with a bit more to it, then I suggest Jets N Guns.
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the future. I’ve been hanging out at the 401k retirement forums, just to get a good idea of what’s going on wiand what IO should look for when planning for retirement. I know I am 22 and thinking about retirement? Well I wanted to retire at 25, but I don’t think that will be possible at this point. Unless I get some crazy money soon.
The reason is because I don’t know what is going to happen with work, or paid blogging, or advertising, so it is better to be prepared than blindsided. This way I can have a grasp on what’s going on and what I need to do to be set for the future.
Never read the books. Never saw the movies. I’ve kind of been curious, but I never did see the big deal with Harry Potter. My stepmother was a big fan. So is my niece. I don’t know if I ever will read the book, or even see one movie, but I am still kind of curious.
I saw pictures of people lined up at Barnes and Noble waiting for this book to come out. I thought that kind of treatment was reserved for technology, but if people are waiting for a book, something that takes effort for people to enjoy, maybe it is worth checking out at some point in the future.
I am feeling uninspired lately. I want to do a lot a with this site but I don’t have any motivation. I did some work today, but even then it was hard for me to concentrate. Maybe I can find some way to keep my concentration.
I’ve got a lot on my mind and it makes it hard to stay focused. Does anyone know any natural ways to keep your focus?
Krissy and I have been throwing around ideas for what we want in a house. We are pretty close on what we want, but the one thing that both of us want more than anything is a gazebo in the back yard. I like gazebos, they are good for when you want to go outside and relax, but not have to deal with the sub blaring down at you. They are also good when it is raining, how romantic is it when two people are under one in the rain?
We can’t really decide on a style though. We’ve gone from plain white to tikki style. We’ve gone from metal roof to wood roof. The size is also a variable. There are times when we agree that it should fit only two people and then there are other times when it should be big and have a table in there so we can eat under it. It’s amazing how it goes from this simple thing to this complex thing and then back to the simple idea again.
The latest thing we decided on, is that no matter how big or how small, it should at least match the house, somewhat. Of course in about twenty minutes that agreement could change yet again.
I am really behind on comments, even with Despair. Maybe this weekend, I will go through and comment on all the people who have commented and who I was supposed to comment. I also need to come up with better entries than these so people can comment on some half way interesting ones. Does anyone have any ideas?
I like free stuff. Who doesn’t? I especially love when people send me some free things without me asking for them. Usually they are just free samples, but even a sample is very useful at times. There are weeks when I haven’t had money and relied on free samples of shampoo to get me through a shower. It’s a good thing I have short hair.
Krissy and I are going to be together for one year this coming Saturday. We probably won’t be going to dinner until Monday, though, because a weekend here in the summer is insane. I want to do something else with dinner, depending on money of course, maybe going mini golfing so she can beat me by an embarrassing amount again.
Everywhere you look it seems like someone in Hollywood is doing something that if they did it and they weren’t a celebrity then no body would even give it a second thought. I don’t normally like the whose cheating on who, or whose marrying who in Hollywood, but there are times when celebrity pictures have me intrigued to say the least. Images like Pamela Anderson with David Spade have me asking how’d that happen, but pictures like that is few and far between.
While I may not like all celebrity news, I do love reading up on my favorite actors. Sometimes it is hard to though, especially when Lindsay Lohan is clogging the headlines with attention seeking behavior.
I wrote before about how I bought Sonic Mega Collection Plus for the Playstation 2, well last week Sonic the Hedgehog was released for the XBox Live Arcade and I downloaded it yesterday. The game itself is what I remember, with the added bonus of moving without touching anything and enemies appearing out of nowhere. Seriously.
The game seems harder then the sequels, mostly due to the fact that Sonic is lacking the signature spin dash. It sucks, but I will keep moving forward to beat the game. At least with this version I can save the game where I am.
