great quote and halo 2

second thing first, damn Dicko...you have 850 games of team slayer on Halo 2 and are a level 27. Played that game a few times have you?

and watching My Name is Earl and The Office last night, I saw the best quote of the day on the Office. (If you don't watch the show, a quick synopsis: Jim and Pam are the cool ones in the office. Pam has been engaged for 3 years, and you can tell Jim and Pam really like each other, but never have the balls to say it.)

Jim's girlfriend: (outside looking in at Pam and her fiance after they finally set a date for the wedding) "Do you think that will ever be us?"
Jim: (looking longingly at Pam) "No."
Jim's girlfriend: "Well then why did you bring me tonight? Why are we dating?"
Jim: "I don't know. Let's break up."

Classic. And what makes it funnier is that they are on a party boat, so she can't just storm off. They both have to sit on the boat while everyone is celebrating and wait for it to dock. Jim has some rad timing.

game of the year

yeah, yeah, yeah, triple posts are cool. as long as you fine people read the last couple, cause they are good. But since I have temporarily abandonded the website because I am busy and the blog is easier, I thought I would post something that would normally go on one of my website pages.

Specifically, Video Game of the Year for 2005.
For the Gamecube, Resident Evil 4 (I have this one, and it deserves it. Games like this are the reason I still have my Cube...)
For the PS2, God of War (I still haven't gotten this one, or beaten GTA: San Andreas yet for that matter, but I am keeping my PS2 until I play this game.)
For the Xbox, Ninja Gaiden Black (I play Halo 2 too much to even have played all the games I have on the shelf, so I never got to this one, but its supposed to be awesome... and now I have a 360, so I probably won't be ever getting this one as I am addicted to achievements on the 360 and you have to have the 360 versions to earn achievements...)
for the new Xbox360, Project Gotham Racing 3 (I like racing games only if they crash stuff, but like I said above, you have to have the 360 versions to earn achievments, so it looks like its off to ebay to sell a perfectly good copy and spend another $10-20 to get the newer one...damn)
For the PC gamers, Civilization 4 (I'm not much into PC games anymore because of lack of time, but if I was, I would get this. It looks great)
and for the other systems, sorry go to Gamespot.com if you want, cause I don't play the other systems. but I should mention that of all the categories, it was Resident Evil 4 won game of the year. Pretty amazing that Nintendo is still kicking it strong. Anyone see that crazy controller they are promoting for their next gen system (Revolution)?

As you can see, all of here still play video games and are still a little addicted. how about you?

thursday night

after 2 full days (12 hours) of work and volleyball (coaching and finances for the club) I think I will enjoy the opportunity to watch some TV tonight. http://www.nbc.com/My_Name_Is_Earl/ My Name is Earl, the Office, and a new one for me Four Kings, are teaming up on NBC with Will and Grace to try and take back thursday nights from whatever station is winning thursdays now. I'm not sure if you've seen the commercials, but NBC has the #1 monday, tuesday, wednesday, friday, reality, sports, and the #1 show or something like that. So I guess no one gives a shit about tuesday because they are moving the 2 reasons for that #1 ranking to Thursday. Which is great becuase volleyball practice is tusdays and i have missed most of that last couple Earls. I hate that I am actually "planning" to watch TV, but fuck, I love that show and the Office.

and I am pissed that I missed the Rose Bowl because of practice. If we have a tournament on Super Bowl weekend I am gonna be super pissed. Like a triple-dog-dare, but the pissed equivalent. But we did go get applebees quisadillas and hot wings and hefewiezen after practice, and I saw some highlights, so that was nice. Plus my good buddy nate Tivo'd the game, so I hope to watch that tonight or tomorrow to see "the game of the year," or what ever they are calling it, for myself.

Also, the Xbox360 rocks.
I highly recommend picking one up if you have the means. (movie?)

also, I finally found a "next blog" worth mentioning. http://isobellasworld.blogspot.com/ not sure if she really is a call girl, but the idea of someone keeping an online journal that mentions anything about the job which is selling sex, is an interesting idea, real or not.

The Greatest Invention EVER!


I must have been very good this past year (funny I don't remember that) because I cleaned up on Christmas. I received a Sony cyber-shot digital camera, some clothes, a couple gift cards, the World Series of Poker video game for the X-Box, but the best gift I received was the new Apple video iPod with a car adapter/charger. This thing is so fuckin sweet that I can't properly describe how it makes me feel deep down inside. There's nothing like coming into work before anybody else is here and pluggin my iPod into my computer and blaring "Fuck tha Police". So since Christmas I have uploaded about 2300 songs and two videos (we love the Chronic, what? cles of Narnia) onto this bad boy and I have room for about another five thousand songs or so. The only downside to all this music is realizing how many CDs have been "borrowed" from me in the last couple of years. I can't seem to locate any of my Pearl Jam, Deftones, Soundgarden, Ice Cube, Snoop and other various good shit. So if any of you reading this out there have my CDs I want them back...Don't make me send three-finger Louie after you. And if anybody out there has any suggestions on music I may like feel free to e-mail the suggestions to gr8_n8_77@yahoo.com. I listen to about everything except for Country. If you suggest country to me I will hunt you down punch you in the neck. Hard.

time off


This comic is a good example of why I love Scott Adams and Dilbert. As for the post title, I spent the long weekend (I had Monday off, Fed was closed) cleaning up Christmas, watching football, playing on Xbox Live, drinking and playing poker on Saturday night, so all in all, it was pretty good. Felt like I got something acomplished while at the same time wasting a maximum amount of time. As for the lack of posts, Smoot is in Yakima, and Dicko, N8, and I were busy not checking the internet all weekend.
