I’ve had my car for over two years now. I love my car, and it is the most reliable one that I have owned to date, but the truth is that it is over 12 years old and one day it is going to die. I think that day might be soon, although I don’t know and need to take it to a mechanic to find out for sure. In any case I have been looking up Used Cars online. I can’t afford a new card and some Used Cars are almost like new, especially with the warranties some come with nowadays.

My car has been reliable for years, it has gotten me to Ohio, Maryland, New York and all the states in between. It’s been a part of all my road trips and there are some really fond memories in that car. It is strange to say, but the car is part of my memories of things. Like going to Ohio last year, taking pictures while driving may not have been smart, but I did it in the Beretta so it makes it a part of the memory. Does anyone else feel that way about their cars, or am I just crazy? I just hope whatever car I get after this, or after the next one, can give me as many fond memories as this one has.

With the way my site is dropping on Alexa and all the valuable content that is slowly coming to my site, I think I may eventually hire a Search Engine Optimization Specialist. Search Engine Optimization is key to any site out there, whether it is a blog or a full blown website. What Search Engine Optimization is, is the making your links appear in a search engine at the highest spot possible, which in most cases is the number one spot. A specialist is someone who knows all the ways to get to that top spot and how to use Search Engine Optimization Services. Whether those may be keywords, programs or even Search Engine Advertising , the specialist would know.

I am not considering it yet, however. Why? Well simply because I want this site to grow more first. It has been up for two years and I am still expanding. There are sections I started on and haven’t touched since day one, that I still wish to bring over. Only time will make this site all it could be.

What is wrong with kids today? Half of them are diagnosed with ADD or ADHD and the other half should be diagnosed with something. You got kids shooting schools and officials saying there was something wrong with him that wee didn’t catch. Then you have all these drug addict and alcoholic teens going to class stoned and / or drunk. I don’t remember that when I was in middle school, and even high school didn’t seem as bad as it is today, I guess that’s why there are so many rehabs like Teen Rehab ECHO MALIBU showing up. At least they are showing up to help kids, and not just showing up to post blame on other people.

What do I mean by that? In today’s society there is a lot of scape goating going on. If a kid shoots up a school parents blame video games. When the Columbine Massacre occured people blamed Marilyn Manson. What kind of a society do we live in that Marilyn Manson and video games are raising children while the parents are at work? Even if that was the case, parents need to take responsibility that either their kid needed help all along and no body saw it, or they were bad parents and just didn’t care.

Krissy and I watched I think I Love My Wife tonight and as a man who is seriously considering spending the rest of my life with this woman, the movie really made me think. Between the sexless marriage the man was going through, how his wife always told him what he was doing wrong, and the temptress that he always wanted, one thing is certain, if you go to a car show, don’t go to a minivan.

I think a minivan is fine and all, if you are buying a responsible car for your family. You don’t go to a car show, with booth babes and high tech equipment that probably is unsafe to be in a car to look at minivans. Krissy has agreed that if we go to one we find a sports car and if we have kids, we find some way to put them in the trunk. I think that was the saddest part of the movie, the man can’t even go through a midlife crisis without his wife trying to get him to be responsible.

I love video games, as you have probably been able to tell by now. I hate when I go to trade in a game at one of those chain stores that lets you trade in your video games for money or store credit and they give me $5 for it and then sell it for $25. It just doesn’t seem fair. Well I found a website that lets you trade video games directly without the need for the middle man. This game trading website doesn’t involve money, you sell your games for credit and then buy other games you want with that credit. With a website like this, why would anyone go to a chain store again?

A few days ago when I went and change my preorder of Halo 3, I stopped into Staples because I needed a new chair. See my other one was leaning and it was really hurting my back, so I bought a brown microfibre one that is supposed to offer better back support.

The chair itself is nice. The back support is taking a little while to get used to. I am sitting up and typing this where I normally would be bent over, but it feels much better than when I was crouched over typeing and programming. I just need to get used to it.

I’ve always lived in a house, in some form. I went from a house to a townhouse to a house, so I’ve always been in a house. Krissy and I are trying to move, but with bills the way they are and the mortgage rates so outrages, we might have to move to an apartment. Now I would have no problem moving to an apartment, but I would have to figure out what would fit, if anything we have needed to be thrown out and how we would move, whether or not just a truck would suffice or if we would need a mover along with the truck. Now I am assuming that moving to an apartment would just be like moving to a house where you bring in your stuff unload it and that’s it, but I might be wrong with the way some apartment buildings are with registering when you are moving what company is moving you and all that. Now that could get annoying.

I decided to go out and change my preorder for Halo 3 from the 59.99 regular edition to the 139.99 Legendary edition. In an unexpected event, Krissy wasn’t against me doing this. I was shocked at first, but then she told me that if it was just some game, she wouldn’t understand, but Halo 3 she understands why. I have racked up more hours in Halo 2 than any other of my games. It is a passion to me. Every week I read the update, hoping for new information. Am I obsessed? Maybe, but that’s because you shouldn’t end a game with ‘To Be Continued’.

In case you are wondering what will be included in the Legendary edition:

Halo 3 game
Limited Edition Spartan Helmet
The first bonus disk will provide:
# Exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage, including a HD “Making of ‘Halo 3′” documentary showcasing the Bungie team and its effort to create the most anticipated title in the industry’s history.
# Numerous HD featurettes documenting the creative design processes involved in developing the game and their evolution through the game’s development.
# An audio-visual calibration tool, never before seen on a video game and custom designed by the “Halo 3” graphics and audio team to make the most of high-definition home theaters, for the ultimate “Halo 3” and Xbox 360â„¢ audio and video performance.

The second bonus disk, exclusive to the Legendary Edition, will include:
# Bestiarum – an expanded digital guide to the creatures, cultures and worlds of Halo 3, with exclusive art and assets.
# Remastered cinematic material from “Halo: Combat Evolved” and “Halo 2,” and a featurette documenting a day in the life at Bungie.
# Exclusive content from the creative minds behind Machinima artists “Red vs. Blue” and “This Spartan Life.”
# An illuminating collection of original “Halo 3” storyboard art from artist Lee Wilson, depicting key moments and pivotal scenes from the epic cinematic production of “Halo.”

Since I had been doing all right with paying my credit card bills and other bills I have, I thought it might be a good idea for me to start shopping around for car insurance. I have an older car, a 1995 Chevrolet Beretta and it has a few dings here and there so I don’t need collision coverage, or anything like that. I’m looking for the lowest auto liability quote that I can find. Instead of going around calling all the insurance companies trying to do the research myself, I went online and I am waiting for the companies to get back to me. Right now I’m under my mother’s insurance and I am trying to branch out and get my own, so hopefully I can find the right automobile insurance policy for me. I just hope that what I would be paying is cheaper than what I am paying now.

Why would it be cheaper if I am a male under the age of 25 whose driving what they consider a sports car (even though it isn’t). Well because my mother has a few tickets that haven’t expired yet, and while I have had more than her, none have been within the last three years so that’s why I am hoping that the insurance will be cheaper (the insurance company told me it was because of my mother that mine was so high.

When I was in high school I was on the wrestling team. One day I jammed my head into the coach’s head, and had my knee attacked after I was working on someone with a bad shoulder, I think those were my first mistakes. Ever since that day I’ve had knee problems. The last few days my knee has been killing me and I haven’t been able to move around without limping or standing without not putting pressure on that leg.

I think it might be because of the rain we’ve been having recently. I’m 22 and already have arthritis, how sad is that? Anyway hopefully the rain will go away and my knee will feel better.

A few days ago Bungie held a Halo 3 IMax Preview open to anyone who wanted to go and see the game. There was only a few thousand seats, but Microsoft was taking reservations. I just saw some interviews from the event and there was these two guys who were there since 10AM. The preview was at 10PM and was less than an hour. To me that is insane. I will pick up my copy of Halo 3 on the day it comes out, I may even be there a half hour before the store opens, but there is no way I am sitting and waiting for 12 hours until the game comes out, that is just insane.

My friend Tim just got out of a drug rehab center, as you all know. Well I found out through the grapevine that is Myspace and talking to old friends that someone else I knew was also in rehab. It wasn’t someone I was close to, or someone I particularly likes much, but someone I just knew growing up. Apparently he just got out of rehab and he is really suffering because of it. He doesn’t have insurance so he has to pay every dime for when he was in there. If only he had gone to one where it wasn’t that expensive, like the The Watershed alcohol rehab.

It seems that everyone who is still in that area has some big emotional problem, drugs, alcohol, depression. I am beginniung to think that maybe there is something in the water, maybe that’s why everyone is unable to control themselves.
