Tomorrow is hump day, and I cannot wait for the weekend. This weekend is great, because it is a three day weekend. I have been waiting for an extra day off for a long time. Work has become a little stressful lately, but nothing too serious. I just need some time away from it.

I go Thursday to have my wisdom teeth checked. I am going to get them pulled, I just don't know when yet. I am looking forward to having them out, they have been thumping for the past couple days. It will be nice to chew with out the pain behind it.

Onto more interesting things. I am trying to play through some of my PS2 games, but for some reason Madden 07 keeps calling me. Every time I think I am going to start playing one of the many games I have to finish, I go right to back to Madden. I believe it is because I can get a quick escape from the real world without committing a bunch of time to a game. There are a bunch of RPG's that I have to play, and a few more on the horizon that will join them in the "should be playing" stack. I will have the winter to catch up on my gaming, the cold months leave little to do outside.

What a fun weekend it has been. It was nice to get away from the craziness and be able to relax. I got to see The Simpsons Movie, and I have to say I was a little disappointed. It had a nice story, but it all felt a little rushed to me. I have a feeling the DVD will have a lot of extras and deleted scenes so FOX can milk the fans for more money. The movie did have its funny moments that had me holding my stomach afterwards, but there was just something missing. The next movie on my list is Beans Holiday that is going to be a great one to see.

My friend and I did venture up to Washington PA. We didn't have a lot to do, so we took a little road trip. It was only 45 minutes away from where he lived, so it was a nice drive just to see something different. We drove around to some of the shopping centers to see what stores they had, and we did find some that were not in our area. We ran across a CD Warehouse, I have not been to one since I lived in North Carolina. They didn't have much, but it was nice to look around. It was not until we were on our way back that we found out the location of the mall. Another trip is planned for the next time we get together.

Other than the road trip and the movie we played some Day of Defeat, and DoD Source. It took me sometime, but I was really rockin last night playing DoD Source. We were playing a nice server with a bunch of great people. Most of the times we play on a server, the clan members get on to you for shooting them. They group we played against last night were just awesome; it was nice to play against people who had some respect for you. I wish I had a high speed connection; I could play on that server all the time.

Sorry about the lack of an update. I am spending the weekend with a friend, so don't look for much this weekend. We are going to go see The Simpson's movies tomorrow, and play some Day of Defeat Source. Work has been crazy as usual, but next week I will be in charge of the entire operation. My boss is going on vacation. That is all for today.

It has been one heck of a couple weeks at work. I was so glad yesterday was Friday, and I got to take off early because my boss came in late. I spent the evening at a friends house, just relaxing and eating fried chicken. It was nice just to get away for awhile. I will probably spend today mowing grass and playing video games. I have some friends who are suppose to come in from out of town, so I may visit with them today as well.

Next week is going to be awesome, there are a couple games coming out for the PS2. First up Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Special Edition comes out on Wednesday after a three week delay. They had a problem with the binding on the art books, and sent them back to be redone. I have no previous experience with the Persona games, but it just looks interesting to me. The entire concept of summoning different persona's to fight off demons sounds cool, and the way you can level up your persona's through interaction with different characters is intriguing.

Second we have the latest installment of Madden. I have been buying Madden games since 97. I have told myself in the past that I would wait until the game drops in price, but I always end up picking it up sometime during the week. I have high hopes that EA did some updating to the game this year, and it sounds like they did. The introduction of gang tackling is what really interests me. I just hope they did it right, because that would be great to have a couple guys take down a running back together. I am going to try and wait for the reviews to come out, I really don't want to spend $50 on a roster update.

Welcome,

This is my new home. I was on 1up for along time, but have decided to move here after a friend did the same thing. Hopefully I will be able to keep up with this one a little better than 1up. I won't have to worry about this being all about video games. I will be posting about things in my daily life, as well as things I find interesting. Later people.
