The girl I’ve spent nearly everyday with for the past two years is out on her holiday family vacation. She has been gone since December 24th… only two days. Although, it feels like an eternity to my heart that is missing her so dearly. I listen to her music when driving to and from work and all I do is ball with tears like a big cry-baby! I never knew how loved truly felt before, now I most certainly do!

Honey while you’re out there having fun and spending time with your family please know that someone back home is missing you so much… I really find it excruciatingly hard to wait until the time I can hug and kiss you again. It’s so true how you realize how good of something you have when it is gone. Erin, you’re my special little sweet angel, I need you and miss you so badly; please make it home safe to me soon!

Ho… Ho… Ho… HO!

Season greetings from me to all of you! I do hope everyone is safe, warm, and in the loving surroundings of their families. Eat some of the great food, let the kids open up their gifts, and enjoy all the greatness that a loving Christmas is meant to be. Don’t have any hardships or fight because now is really not the time! Also, if you’re online, today, right now, reading this get your ass off the computer and go spend time with your family!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!!!

Is everyone ready? All the gifts bought and wrapped? Food all prepped awaiting to be cooked?

It is that time of year again where everyone should be in happy moods and giving ways. I personally don’t have any huge plans, though I would if life’s responsibilities didn’t come calling. Unfortunately my last year’s work accident has really caused some issues with my lifestyle and living. I’ve had to really be careful with my wrist, even then it cases me pain and issues. My sweetheart is making a trip to Louisiana to visit her family! I would’ve been on the trip as well, but unfortunately am not because of life’s calling. I was able to get just my girl a present; it wasn’t nothing too extravagant, but still thoughtful.

I do hope everyone out there in the ‘net tech world is with their loving family and stay warm this year. Treasure the moment because they don’t last forever!

::~~::Happy Holidays Everyone::~~::!

After many heated debates, absurd arguments, and vulgarly exchanged words it seems that a single wise individual from New York Times has debunked any association of Vista copying from Mac OS X! It is available in a video or written form; which, both clearly point-out the keen differences, that represent Vista as an original new Operating System.

As a lifetime Mac user this video clearly gives me a huge grin. Enjoy!

Yes sir! My finals are all complete as of yesterday and I’m now just waiting for two of my grades to be posted online. I took four classes this semester and I already scored two A’s in my computer technology courses. I believe I made an A in Math and a B in my English Comp; but, I’m not entirely positive.

I will post a “report card” once all my grades have been posted to my school’s online account.

Yesterday marked a very interesting day for myself. I started off by only getting roughly 30 minutes of sleep due to my obsessive need for gaming and studying. I’ve been participating in two very unique, I think, Apple Mac communities that are just fun and overall enjoyable. Mac Heist & MacAppaDay, are the computer candies that I indulge with at that moment; both are giving away free software! Although, Mac Heist is doing it with an ingenious twist of puzzles and games online that you decipher.

Halo 3, is there anything else that needs to be said? This game is going to literally going to sweep the gaming community! Halo 2 was mind blowing successful; Halo 3 will only build on that power even farther. I’m not quite sue how well the story was/is for the first two Halo’s, but I did enjoy Halo 2’s untouchable online gaming! I can only imagine how far or what Bungie is cooking up for their final game in the trilogy. Well, I’m sure for anyone that is aware and pretty up 2 date around the gaming community knows Bungie released a 60 second CG trailer and opened up registration for Halo 3 beta! The registration is accessed over at Halo 3.com; as for the trailer can be downloaded via Xbox website or through the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Finally, I took the chance to get that dreaded test that millions of people feel they are so invincible to… HIV/AIDS. I don’t have any inclinations of being positive, just really a reassurance purpose. I recently did a research paper on AIDS and focused on prevention tactics and methods. I had learned a lot of interesting information and took the test myself to see where I stand. My father fell victim to the AIDS epidemic back in 1996 when I was 16; he chose to do drugs so it lead him down his early death bed. So sometime around the 18th I should be able to get my results… it’s nerve racking “not knowing” for certain, but this is the only to know.

I swear it feels like I was just typing up some sort of babble to fill-up my Wordpress database with a post. Though it has already been a full nearly 10 days! I really want to keep daily posts going… my intentions are at least good, right? I’ve thought of posting for future dates… sort of like pre-readiness posts, but I don’t like that plan because it seems faked and non sporadic.

I have no real ground breaking info to spill right now… most recent positive aspect was that I made a 96% on my computer class’s quiz. Aside from he small time quizzes I am blessed with the opportunity to look forward for finals! I’m ready I do believe.

I know what I’d like to talk about… the tensions that have stemmed from online gaming competition. Even I included, because I must be honest with myself, become extremely hostile and vehemently nasty talkative. Is it from that single goal: desire of being the winner? I can vaguely recall younger childhood days when gaming was just simply “fun”! Never the need to impress the world’s leader-boards with some highly insane digits of rank. Then there is this newly adapted achievement system that eggs gamers on to push even harder. Must it all be about who is really the best? What happened to just enjoying the glory of art in the game designs and stories themselves? Naturally I don’t think anyone appreciates losing, but it seems to have gotten significantly out of control within online regards. Racial remarks are spewed out without any remorse, shallow and possible sincere life threats are nastily spoken across the voice chat, and even creative name calling towards elders and children of all ages; there is zero respect for others online. I even seem to lose control frequently to partake in the charades of trash talking. After all is said and done I sit back and think damn… I stoop to some low levels to not hold my integrity at a higher level.

I don’t agree with games, their very self, make people violent, but I am starting to consider that the competition strain within games can make people mad. How can we regenerate that forgotten passion for games that held us all bewildered with joy and fun once again? Appreciating what games offer and not focusing on being #1 is where we all need to start.

Can anyone relate to such moments or turmoil while online? Be honest with yourself, because I hear it all the time online…. don’t play some saint you are not.
