How could I forget

What was I thinking?? I totally forget to inform everyone I received the best christmas gift ever. The itrip. It's this neat little device that attaches to my ipod mini, transmits to an FM station and allows me to play my music. I can now enjoy my mini in the car.

I usually don't care about these little gadgets but this little guy is great. In general, I love electronics but only certain kinds. TV's, home theater systems, video game consoles, TiVo, and computers(only for gaming or home media center of course). I'm not impressed with all these cool cellphones, PDA's, laptops, portable gaming devices and even mp3 players.

If I need to call someone or someone needs to call me, I simply need a cellphone. I don't need all the bells and whistles that come with these phones. I don't need to check my email, look at a daily planner, play games or any other things you can do on cellphones these days. PDA's are another useless device for me. I'm not a hard charging executive, nor does my busy days call for the use of these nifty gadgets. Laptops are just smaller PC's and again, I want big powerful machines. I don't travel much and I find it easier to write in notebooks or journals. So no laptop for me at this point in my life. Ah, portable game devices, that's a big NO for me. Why in the world do I want to play a video game on some small screen with lame sound, when I can sit in the comfort of my own home, on a bigger screen with surround sound? I want to see the explosions and hear the bullets whiz by, people screaming for help and jump when monsters come running around the corner. I'm sorry but portable games don't deliver for me. I ride the fence on mp3 players. I love my mini, even more now that I can listen in the car. No more carrying a case of cd's. Gone are the days of changing disks or having to listen to one band at a time. Oops, I forgot about the portable DVD players. These I can live with. I used my constantly when traveling on the metro to work. The hour long ride from Shady Grove to Crystal City was so much more enjoyable when watching a movie. Though from time to time, I felt awkward when a sex scene came up or a naked body ran across the screen. Some movies weren't meant for traveling but I wanted to laugh at times, and well, people would just have to live with Will Ferrell's naked ass running through the streets and topless women in Old School.

So if I'm not going to use it at home, then I probably won't be too interested in such things, with some exceptions. I want big screens, lots of sound and a kick ass system to tie them all together.

My new persona debacle

So, I tried to insert this new persona quiz and it pushed by side bar to the bottom of the page. I'm not very good with html and the templates so I deleted the whole post. But I salvaged the persona description. Basically, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. Yesss!

Roguish,quick-witted, and incredibly lucky, Jack Sparrow is a pirate who sometimes ends up being a hero, against his better judgement. Captain Jack looks out for #1, but he can be counted on (usually) to do the right thing. He has an incredibly persuasive tongue, a mind that borders on genius or insanity, and an incredible talent for getting into trouble and getting out of it. Maybe its brains, maybe its genius, or maybe its just plain luck. Or maybe a mixture of all three.

Don't ask me why, but I just like this dumb little quizzes. What's with these things anyways? They don't offer any insight as to who I am. There's no real value in them but they do entertain me for a while. Oh well, I'm addicted to them right now. I can't stop myself.

Such a lush

Well, I really didn't need this to figure this one out.

You Are a Martini

There's no other way to say it: you're a total lush. You hold your liquor well, and you hold a lot of it!

What Mixed Drink Are You?

I confess...

Thank you so much Phillip for the tag. So without further ado;

I spend more time dreaming and talking about writing, than actual writing.
I find it terribly difficult to do things I really want to do.
I spend too much time doing nothing.
I don't have any guy friends to do "guy" things.
Despite being married to a wonderful woman, I feel lonely sometimes.
I frequently don't want to do anything.
I'm a sucker for romatic comedies and cry throughout the movie.
Actually, I shed tears almost during every movie and I don't know why.
My spiritual beliefs don't offer me complete comfort, I'm still terrified of death.
Sorry sweetie, but I want Nicole Kidman to bear my children, at least one of them.

Okay, there you have it. Due to one of my confessions, you now know why I don't tag anyone. I don't know anyone to tag. Oh, I was jut kidding about the Nicole Kidman child bearing thing. I only want my lovely wife Camille to have that honor. Though, I have it pretty easy. I don't have to carry the child around for nine months and have some kid pop out of my body. I'll be right with you sweetie, laying on the ground unconscious.

I'm alive

I'm still kicking! I wish I had some extravagent excuse or explanation for my disappearance from the blog world. Sorry, I didn't spend a month searching for enlightenment. I didn't reach another plain of existence through deep meditation. No, I didn't discover a way to connect with my spirit guide. Heck, I didn't even come close to 50,000 words for Nanowrimo. A really great idea came out of it but nothing more. I wasn't off fighting world hunger or building a shelter for the homeless in preparation of the now cold season. I didn't find inner peace or a higher power.

You know what I did, I played endless hours of Madden 06. I even attempted to play a game I just completed once again but as an evil character. I'm starting to feel the need to dive into another round of NHL action and fit in time for a new but older game. Shoot, I even left my j.o.b., though not because of my video game addiction. I had to save my mental well being from the depths of painful cruel and unusual punishment. I found my savior in a big old guy who's become a giant video game icon. I'm such a deadhead. But you know what, I loved every minute of it. Sure I would have loved to have been more productive and done something with my life but the time wasn't right. It's not my turn yet. Though the time is approaching and I have some unfinished business.

Oh and before I forget, OSU rules!!! Sorry, can't help myself. In my absence, The Ohio State University Football Team defeated the Michigan Wolverines. Life is beautiful.
