Been too long

It's been a while since I've had a post, and I have a great excuse. I stumbled onto a Wii by dumb luck on New Year's Eve day and I couldn't pass it up. The Target by my apartment just got a shipment in and I happened to by buying something in the electronics department and there she was! I had to have it, even though I'm the world's worst video game player, hands down. I suck at them, but this Wii may be different.... The following day, I again stumbled onto a gem of a game called Guitar Hero 3. What I didn't know is that finding both a Wii and then GH3 the following day around the Holiday season is virtually impossible. Needless to say, I think everyone can see where this is going............
I've become an obsessed junkie over this game!!! I know I'm way behind everyone else in knowing that GH3 is such an addictive game, but I never thought in a million years I would think to myself that I am going to play video games all night when I get home from work. Well, that has happened. AND, I suck at it. But, I'm getting better. We'll see how long the infatuation lasts before I either get superstar level good, or have to have surgery on my wrists from "nintendo thumb." It also made for a great South Park episode, guitar queer-o. Hilarious! Maybe if I get good enough, I'll get an agent and go to coke parties! Rock ON!

Other than that, well.....there hasn't been much other than that. The last week consisted of going to work and playing GH3, that's about it. Diet Cokes and frozen pizzas as sustenance, and I'm good to go. So much for starting off the New Year working out and getting in shape. I might as well start buying XL shirts and jeans that are 2 sizes bigger now.

To follow up on past posts, Christmas was very enjoyable this year, especially because I got to spend it with my brother and his family. They just moved to Grand Junction and hadn't seen family since they moved. We had a really good time. The pics in this post are from that weekend.

2008 hopefully will be a good year. The jury's still out on whether or not I'm going to make any resolutions. I have some internal goals I MUST accomplish this year, but I go over them every day, so writing them down is pointless. If I can pull myself away from this video game, then I might be able to go about working towards these goals.......However, I think I have established a new goal......hmmmmmmmm..........

I'm pretty excited about the new American Gladiators tonight.....we'll see if they can capture the audience like the old Gladiators did. I grew up watching that show and it ruled. I really hope that they can match that same success. I don't know about the hosts, but I hope the competitions speak for themselves.

Side note: I just read this post and have just confirmed to myself what everyone else already knows about me.........I am a loser. I am okay with this.

Music listened to while posting: Clubland X-Treme Hardcore 3, disc 2, mixed by Breeze. Great dj and series of CD's from the UK. clubland.fm has more, great dance music.

Well, rest time is over.......practice calls.........
