-Hey Yo! Yikes another long duration without an update. Guess I just have been neglecting this thing for a bit too long, not that many of you actually care that is. Work and school has kept me busy of course. At work we have a couple of new people on our team. Rick is pretty much gone from plano all together right now. I think he only worked one shift with us after Christmas, and he has been on flo ever since. Paul came on board with us a couple weeks ago too from Flo. And Chris and Jason will be joining us too from dayside for several months to help us out, so we'll actually have somewhat of an actual team here for a few months.
-Last two weekends have been pretty fun. Weekend before last I had Brent and Scott over on that Friday and we practically stayed up all night playing Halo 2, with a little bit of PGR3 thrown in for good measure. Never thought I'd be sucked into Halo 2's online/multiplayer awesomeness again well over a year after it came out. I guess that is what playing with friends does for ya. On the next day I hung out with Chris and we saw that new Underworld 2 movie. Not too shabby overall. About on par with the first, whole bunch of cool action scenes so I walked out happy. Right after that we watched The Island on video.....'twas interesting but way too many plot wholes that threw me off a bit and took away from the film.
Just this last weekend on Friday Chris and Scott were over and we watched some videos and played mostly Halo 2 all night online. On Saturday I went over to Jane & Shawn's for their daughter's first b-day party. Lost of little kids and all that fun stuff, so needless to say I felt pretty uncomfortable. When I came back I helped Joe rearrange his room and hanged out with the family for the first time in a while. Had some crazy weather too, with an extremely nice Friday in the mid 40s, and a little chiller Saturday, but with high gusts of snow to make for crummy road conditions.
-I caught the Royal Rumble yesterday too. Instead of doing the traditional order it and invite a bunch of friends over to watch it for what would have been the fourth year in a row, I found out the Buffalo Wild Wings in town is airing WWE PPVs in town again for the first time since late 2003. I tried getting ahold of my usual crew to make it there, but a lot of them backed down on me. Bob actually was the original person who informed me about and invited me to join him, but he called to inform me he decided not to go....about an hour into the show itself. Eventually Chris and Joe made it there about halfway through the PPV, so it was nice not to watch the whole thing by myself. Actual show wasn't that bad. I wonder if the Cruiser title is now on RAW now that Helms has the belt. The womens match was getting amusing towards the end because you could tell Ashley was completely gassed. I was actually shocked that the Boogeyman squashed JBL in about 2 minutes. Rumble match was really good in itself, although Flair and Booker T shouldn't have gotten the Bushwacker treatment. Good to say Eugene, Goldust, and Tatanka make their returns too. Cena/Edge was a wonderful match, but I actually didn't expect Cena to win the belt back. I feel like they just did the quick run on Edge to try and get more fans to boo him instead of Cena, they shoulda kept riding with Edge, prolly coulda been the best heel run as champ we had in a while.
-I finally fiished Seinfeld Season 4 set after initially buying it when it came out last summer. Castle Rock sure knows how to trick out their sets with special features. There's damn near mini-documentaries about almost every episode. Now I got Seasons 5 & 6 to kill the next several months, along with a few other season sets I haven't even started or am barely into like 24 seasons 2&3, Shield season 3, The Lost, and the new Beavis & Butthead collection.
-Thats about all I got for now...peace!
