One week till Christmas...

As the date gets closer, my excitement increases.  Been a crazy busy weekend full of...excitement.  It's ok though come this weekend things will all be right.  I have a social/busy week this week, hanging out with my girl and some friends.  I have to find a few days to get a little work done and to finish my Christmas shopping.  Only thing left is stocking stuffers.  I can't wait.  I know I keep saying it but it's my favorite time of the year.  ps. The pic below is from Christmas '07 at Disney World.

 

The Holidays are coming...

It's a shame that it has taken me so long to write on here.  I've had a great couple of weeks.  Not this past weekend but the previous weekend I went up to the mountains, to a small town called Grand Lake with a few of my friends including my girl.  It was a nice little get away.  A mini escape from the real world.

Then Thanksgiving.  Last week at work was a cake walk, things were pretty slow around the office which was a nice departure.  Wednseday night was great, I had an impromptu get together where we nerded it up with some good old fashioned rockband playing.  Thursday I got up early and drove down to Colorado Springs where I spent the day with some family and some good food.  After a nap I drove back home to I could get up bright and early and brave the crowds of Black Friday.  It was a crazy scene but I was able to get some good deals and take home a few treats.  Friday night consisted of Thuy and I meeting Lee, Lynn, Chris, and a few other people from work, for a delightful evening of Holiday fun, as we watched the lighting of downtown Littleton.  The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing and getting ready for life to start back up again.

After a wonderful couple of days off it was back to work today.  Woke up late, but eventually got to work and it ended up not being that bad of a day.  So tonight I'm decorating my Christmas Tree with Thuy.  Christmas time is here and boy am I jumping head first.

Music

Music.  I lay there colors in my head.  I'm lost as our tongues connect.  My hands on your hip.  Forever goes by in merely seconds.  Thoughts, memories.  It feels so familiar yet so new.  Is this what music looks like?  Your hands are my notes.  Your lips are my song.  You are my music.  

"You Found Me"

Last night on ABC, The Fray's new song "You Found Me" premiered with a promo trailer for Lost, for those of you who haven't finished season 4, I caution you as I have not and a few things were spoiled.  It was good and worth it nontheless.  Click the link to download the free video on iTunes.

I am a Death Bringer....

So I rolled a DK last night, thanks much to init_5for getting my main to 55 to allow this roll.  I just hit 57, and can't wait to finish the initial quest line to finally get myself to Outlands.  A very interesting series of quest for the early life of a Death Knight has you doing everything from killing innocent civilians, to secretly sneaking behind enemy lines, almost instantly killing 100 plus soldiers of the Scarlet Crusade.  The quest line really gets you involved in the story of your character and makes you feel like an integral part of the Liche Kings army.  Blizzard really did it right with the Death Knight.

Flashback Video!

As commemoration of the new "Bond" which I watched last night.  Here is the Casino Royale Trailer.

Pretty lights...

Thought of the day...

"The companionship of a doll is a pleasant thing even for a period of time running into months. But for a close relationship that can last us through all the years of our life, no doll can take the place of aces back to back."

Snowy Friday

The edge of desperation...

The horizon is dark with rising smoke and haze.  I catch myself, on to business.  I run with my head down, risking myself to better the group.  I run into the open, grabbing my most effective tool, the wood splinters around me.  I'm short of breath, is that the fear or the run.  Do I dig in or run back to safety, back to the group.  If I fall will there be someone to lift me up, will there be a hand.  My chances of survival here are slim, but my position is vital.  I release fire from the sky getting hits.  I'm out.  I run to safety, I'm red but not down.  Two at the door, one mid, and one high.  I take my position watching the door.  The ever present horde approach's.  I force it down, tightening my grip.  This is our last chance of survival.  We are the only one's left.

The end of deprivation...

For anyone whose ever been in it knows the feeling. An indescribable feeling one without any real descriptive validity. You know when you're there, how far you are willing to go. When the lack of this control really takes hold....that's when you know you've truly arrived.

The Matrix Runs Windows...

Combining two of my favorite things. The Matrix and my hate for Windows.

The battle for Northrend is upon is.  We sit on the brink of destruction lest we conquer our mutual enemy abroad!  The time to fight is nighe...

A good weekend!

Well this weekend was a good one.  Friday night like I said, I geeked it up playing Gears all night. Saturday I slept in woke up and pretty much spent the entirety of the day helping Tye decorate for the Halloween party, we had people rising from the grave, thunder and lightning, and spiderwebs everywhere.  The Halloween party went pretty well without any real issues to speak of, we did have a plumbing malfunction thanks to Tye's drunken obsession to clean and stuff hundreds of orange peels down the drain.  I'm hoping the blackmail pictures of my costume will stay off of the internet, although I'm sure it's only a matter of time.  Yesterday I attempted to clean a little and lounged around all day in bed with great company.  It was the perfect Sunday, the type of day Sunday's are meant for.  Last night I played a little Gears, ok...so a lot of Gears, and my sleep suffered because of it.  It's ok, getting to lvl 37 on Horde was well worth it, with an excellent group.  And today is Monday.  Weekends like that make Monday's hard.  Oh well makes next weekend look even more appealing!

Emergence Day the Sequel!

So today is E day the second coming, a rough day of work, teetering with anticipation led to a lucky apprehension of a Collectors Edition of Gears of War 2. I spent the night truly delving into my geekism and spent a friday night alone in my basement playing Gears with friends. The night flew by, as familiar feelings returned with the thrill of victory and the bitterness of defeat. It is time for me to retire as my sleep this week has been limited. Good night all and my heart is with the COG soldiers fighting the valiant fight!

Gears launch tonight!

So Gears of War 2 comes out tonight and after much debate of whether or not I should go to the midnight launch, I've decided I would rather spend time with my sweet sweet lady...I hope she knows the sacrifice's I make for her! ;-)

Yes We Can....

and we did!

Post Stevenote day!!!

Yesterday was Stevenote Day(aka Macworld), and overall I was pleasantly surprised. I was glad to get a few things for free in the way of software updates which seem like they will greatly enhance my already owned products. The ultra portable Macbook was finally released by the name of Macbook Air. Although form factor wise it is very impressive, in my opinion very overpriced for the specs. 80GB 4200rpm hard drive? Anyway, glad be be connected again and in touch, until next time, rent a HD movie from iTunes or something to pass the time.
