I ultimately do not know whom or what authoritative figure made this call, but my gamer-tag was banned and I’ve owned it for several years; hell, I have even been a proud XBL member since the original Ghost Recon on the Xbox! I sincerely can’t believe that when I go to sign in I am presented with some whacked messaged that my gamer-tag is not in accordance with their policies. Then it offers for me to change it and then the Xbox360 loops in a sequence telling me I can’t change my gamer-tag unless I am signed into LIVE, but I can’t because my gamer-tag is banned… freaking awesome Micro Soft!

What is most puzzling is that if my gamer-tag, XboxDruggie, was out of accordance this entire time why is it only now, years after registering that it is banned? Especially without any warning or even course of action within a timed manner. Just cut me off from the service I’ve paid for upfront.

I really hope there is an amazing explanation because I plan on emailing and calling whatever depart head managers I must to have this explained as to “how” it is out of their accordance of policy!

Also, Mr. Major Nelson, if you happen to read this please enlighten me to this tragedy!

Yes, I know this isn’t anything new to anyone out there… although I do miss my comlex and Tag clouding goodness that was UTW! not to mention that WP 2.3 also borke other sidebar scripting that i had spent enough time on to make myself proud about.

Is there an new alternative to the built in lame tagging that I do not wish to deal with it? Why do the Devs of WP insist on breaking something that is already good!??!

That dealership could burn all the way down to the center of the earth for all I cared. Ignorance, assholes, douche bags, and careless are of just some of the words that pop out of my mind thinking of them. Their whole business methods are bullshit and corrupted. I sincerely hope one day someone goes ape-shit on them and pulls a Columbine or something.

Fuck You: Adam Ferral, Craig Backrodt, Steven Spitizer, Mike Campbell, and any or all pieces of shit that work their as well. If I had the money to hire a lawyer I’d stick one up so far your rectums for  the harassment, threats, and breach of contract. So die, and sincerely, I hope it’s painful!

I highly suggest that no one ever trust, deal, or do business with this dealership here in Ocala, Florida:

I “tried” to purchase my very first new car from them… what a joke. I am so lost and without any direction on how to pursue this issue! I was once in belief that IF a contract was signed by two parties that it binds and sticks to a mutual agreement. Obviously I was very wrong! In short… I put a down-payment of 7k on a new ‘06 Kia Optima for it to be yanked from my possession after owning it for two months! Not before though, being threatened from a finance manager, ridiculed from other personnel, and avoided and lied to along the way. Is that what customer service is coming to?

I’ve slightly attempted to get legal advice, but I need to get these contracts scanned and emailed out. I do believe I could bring a litigation against this dealership for treating this manner in such a way as well as breaking my contract!

It really irks me when huge business look down on the consumer; all they care about is their very own best interests! I’ve been put into a situation where I feel I can’t win, been lied to, and taken advantage of! All that from attempting to purchase a new car. Then, to top off the entire situation, to even try to obtain legal help I’d have to pay for a lawyer, which is understandable, but next to impossible being that all my money I had went for the down-payment on the car.

I really hate this stress and worry it is bringing to my life. Why is life so difficult sometimes; especially for the ones that are busting their asses to achieve a respectable status in life’s twisted tides!

I will triumph above this ordeal, for I have over-come other very hard times previously. So, for all you scoundrel pieces of poo corporations you can go bankrupt for all I care and lose every asset you may “think” you possess!

Pricks….

Ever just sincerely hate a prick of a cop! Don’t even know him, besides possibly the 5 or so minutes since he pulled you over? Yeah! Well I have!

They could care less about anything. I honestly tried to explain that I felt he made a mistakenly while using his “severely accurate” radar gun (his words). That had he been just above the hill I was coming over where the douche bag zoomed around me and cut me off he would have clearly seen how his radar gun was calibrating the guys car in front of mine! Nope. Instead I’m greeted with I shouldn’t have been so “ignorant and racing on ‘his’ streets!” Wow, just wow. So now cops have the ultimate right to degrade and harass civilians?

I know… just know Murphy’s Law is so true! Go figure.

I say this with the utmost disrespect my being can muster in a sentence. Here’s the story…

I shopped there last night to pick up a few groceries after work; simply one would assume, right? WRONG! After purchasing around $50 in food and other misc. items I went home; well I was too tired to balance out my bank account so I figured I’d do it this morning… I log into my bank account, Wachovia, I see a Wal-Mart charge for $16.94 from last night as well as the $50 dollar one. I was like ummm….

So I print out a copy of my bank statement and head over to Wal-Mart this morning to square this away, or so I had very wrongly assumed. After speaking with a standard store associate, manager, and the accountant of Wal-Mart I was roughly told, “the transaction isn’t in the system, and we can’t do anything about it”! Are you joking…. seriously, I mean if I was trying to swindle big bad Wal-Mart wouldn’t it be more wise to claim the $16.94 purchase and deny the $50? They said there “wasn’t enough proof and needed to show a receipt”; I calmly asked if they wanted a receipt for a transaction that I didn’t DO!?

So, I will be there tomorrow, during regular ‘business hours’ to try to resolve this whole ordeal once again…. fucking douche bags!

My new job has been quite easy to deal with in regards to my wrist giving me issues; although, it has from time to time given me pains because of repetitive use. Well, my wrist has been giving me really bad pains since work on the 12th…

I was assisting my manager on setting up a new kiosk in the store, having to move the weight seriously hurt my wrist. I sincerely hope this situation gets resolved quickly; I’m hoping surgery has a good chance of helping me. Though, I am extremely terrified at this point because of my medical conditions that complicate the surgery. I have a meeting at the end of the month followed directly by a new doctor, again, for an initial visit and screening. I hope the new doctor can be a little more optimistic about the situation, because every previous doctor I’ve spoken with wasn’t.

I need to adapt my sleeping patterns and really take control of them. As of lately I’ve been subdued to stay up until 6AM and then fall asleep! That’s great and all… if I still had my grave-yard shift job. I stay up with either studying, surfing, or gaming; though it seems enjoyable I feel like I’m getting burnt out. I actually recall sleeping on a normal basis and waking up around 8AM to have a whole full day ahead of me to conquer whatever task I chose.

So, here I am, without sleep again, and in search of finding a method to tame my sleeping patterns and behaviors. Naps perhaps?

Seriously… I slightly knew of the bullshit Wal-Mart was pulling with their whining tactics of losing sales because of iTunes movie sells, but to this extent! Wal-Mart really needs to “Cowboy Up” and get over their pathetic pleas; they already dominant entirely for retail stores alone… so what if you lose some sales do to ITMS.

Well mine seems to be as such in my experiences. Every time things seem like they are actually going smoothly I get whacked blind-sided by some sort of crud that really brings me way down. I’m not talking about the small little issues that pop-up everyday, but more like the problems that can really bust you down like you are trash.

Then I’m supposed to pick myself up, dust off the dirt, and roll on as if shit doesn’t ever happen. Sheer insanity. I suppose that if life wasn’t filled with these obstacles that it would be bland and dull. Peace and happiness shouldn’t be too difficult to seize, especially for all of us that try to apply ourselves with our full potential.

I’m just immensely stressed right now…. VERY MUCH! Life just sucks for me, period. Will I bounce back up this time?

Is it me or is the US, supposedly richest country in the world, lack significantly in the broadband progression? Though poorer countries are excelling amazingly with outstanding results and speeds! These minute upgrades: 5mbs to 7mbs and typically no upload boost is weak and insulting to today’s networking demands and communications.

Fios is only very limited and where these communication companies need to sincerely focus, bite the bullet, and start phasing into this real next generation broadband. Get with the new times and demand you corrupted greedy corporate devils.

Are essays, in any way, possibly fun? Seemingly head-plowing aggravation seems to be commencing while I’m trying to write. Needless to mention that these writings are on my own experiences; not some off the wall topic I have to research yet. Maybe the whole writing under pressure and deadlines is what is throwing me off? The other two classes are going quite smoothly along; it’s just this English course, I’m battling with. Well aware that this is my big sacrifice in life (I had a lot worse), and I just need to apply myself so that in the end I’m a winner and can get a real career; not just another lame trashy job.

Being granted the pleasure of briefly play with an upcoming project that is absurdly mind-blowing is under the radar so watch out! I’m not quite sure how much is wanting to be announced in this early stage. but as the sky is blue (on good days) I believe this project will explode once fully released and build extremely quickly!

New doctor appointment lurking real soon around the corner; it’s going to be with the a new doctor I believe that will be performing the surgery soon I hope. I’m terrified of this whole ordeal, but shoot it’s been over a year and still no sign of relief, so obviously surgery seems to be the real next logical step to take.

Soon, hopefully, their will be some very pleasing news for Erin in regards to her motorcycle. We’re aren’t getting our hopes up yet so we’ll wait and see how it all pans out.

That is the News here locally and stay-tuned for your other updates and traffic on the 1s…

It’s quite funny that I noticed this absurd pattern, but I realized I don’t pack my electronics: gaming god 360, beautiful Apple Mac computer, etc… until very last. Which is why I’m writing this very note. My computer is getting packed up and so is my 360. I’m going to be without both until Sunday September 3rd.

Woot! This sucks…

Yea… still in this rut that I haven’t yet explained, but assure everyone out there that it isn’t a picnic right now for me. I ran into a horrible dilemma that, well just blows insanely.

I thought I had found my refugee that was already on the line, but I pushed it and though I don’t blame them, I’m lost once again. This probably sounds like gibberish to most people, okay more like 98% that might read this. Only a few know what is going… THIS SUCKS DAMMIT!

Yea… yea… I know. Who ever said it was easy! Well crud poo-poo balls; what about for the people that are actually trying to accomplish goals and make i in their journeys? Why must they suffer?

Life just sucks…

Is blogging becoming a chore or am I just slacking? Well regardless of the answer I have a lot I need to talk about and it’s built up considerably…

This guy a genius! Really… he has studied and formed a thesis that playing violent games at a young age will subsequently develop aggressive behavior in children. This guy needs to win the Noble Peace Prize for absolute astonishing work and study. NOT!

How could someone with such a respectable title as a psychologist have the most blinded ignorance and lack of sight to claim such things without even a glimpse of what the movie and music entertainment industry provide tot he violence! Get real you leeching pricks; only jumping on the buzz of bashing video games is a has-been fad. Do something more productive with yourselves and provide more useful information and data.

This seriously blows my mind as to how so many want to make more regulating laws and procedures for games, yet they don’t ever consider other forms of entertainment and their contributions to the problem at hand. Wait a second I have an idea… maybe we need to stop blaming these entertainment industries and blaming ourselves… I mean we ARE the ones creating the content right?

CNN.com - Advice to Parents: Know Your Video Games - Aug 2, 2006

Well fortunately I’ve laid to rest my FFXI game disc that seemingly had a strong conviction of my time for a short amount while. Though the game is very much enjoyable it just doesn’t offer any true satisfaction of accomplishment… ever. The game is never conquered or beaten, therefore becoming more of a chore, job, and task that I just don’t care to partake in.

Now to fill my FFXI void enters, not like it’s a new joy, Halo 2. This game just makes for some serious fun or down-right hateful games. It unarguably the best Live interface to date with simple methods for getting a full game established. Though this simplistic method is yet so very intricate and filled with an enormous arsenal of custom creation games along with the Bungie managed game types.

I’m just not quite sure what keeps me so hooked though… I mean I was so very lucky to have a loving sweetheart that bought me my Xbox 360 on midnight launch yet I play a what 2-3 year old game in it mainly? Isn’t that absurdly gay?

We had enjoyed completing Kameo and there just hasn’t been any games released for the 360 that we feel we’d enjoy. Soon I hope. Maybe I should just finish up G.R.A.W. or Full Auto, both are great, I just can’t find the drive to stick with them…

A couple of things are just totally wrong in regards to obtaining school books needed for my Fall term starting August 21st; and frankly it’s down right wrong dammit! First, the whole rule in retrospect to so called defined school text books only pertains to books priced at $50.00 or less. Now wasn’t that an asinine decision made for that limit?! Sheesh… $50.00 whole dollar-roos, whiptie freaking do. Second the college bookstore itself has set some guidelines that also, even if the limit was allowed to succeed past $50.00, would cease my attempt to purchase books; they say if books are purchased in July that there is only 2 weeks allowed for selling them back. So that there nulls the idea of getting them purchased during the Tax free time alloted slot. Then… THEN, Financial Aid only allows purchases to begin on or past August 14th.

Pretty well sealed up rules and policies into maybe saving a couple of bucks for some grub… that would be nice, while starving myself to try and budget school, rent, bills, and all other necessary things.

Life is good.
