Xbox 360

Soon the much awaited first of the next gen gaming consoles will be with us. Reports of a release timeline of between Nov. 15 and Nov.30 have been announced by Microsoft and many wait for this to happen with much anticipation. While I won't be running out to buy a 360 as soon as it hits the shelf, I do see myself purchasing one after the new year. The price tag for the 360 is not light, at $499 CDN , I imagine that this will be on the wishlist for many a gamer this holiday season. There is going to be 2 different cosoles released. The above mentioned $500 console that comes with all the bells and whistles and the $400 vesion that comes with a more streamlined package. The cheaper version does not come with a 20Gb hardrive and also comes with a corded controller, the $500 version comes with a wireless controller and the 20GB removable HD as well as a universal multimedia media remote that can control your TV, DVD, and Windows Media CenterPC. Microsoft has plans for thee new OS, Longhorn, to be an integral part of the the 360 experience.

High pitch whine and wannabes

Ok so the other day I was playing Halo on Xbox Live, yeah yeah its all I do I know I hear it from my wife evry day, so any way I was playing team something or other and when the game starts what do I hear but the high pitch whine of someone trying to talk shit about everyone. Now I couldn't really tell if it was male or female but I assumed male cause lets face there aren't that many girls that play halo. So I asked if what they were. The response I got was something along the lines of why not ask your mom bitch. Hmmm.. my response to this was well it must be a little boy whos nuts haven't yet dropped. Well the whiner then decided that I was going to be the target of his insults for the rest of the game. I got every "your mom" insult thrown at me to which I replied as stated above or something like 'I'm sorry but your voice is just to damn high pitched for me to understand come back in five years punk.'
Man when 12 year olds try to talk shit in the whiny high pitched little voice it fucking drives me insane.SOme times I just want to be able to reach through the internet and choke the living shit right out of them. ARRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
Another type of these people that really annoy me are the white suburban punks who talk like the are the next hiphop act to hit the streets. Saying shit like 'homey', 'fo' sho' and 'blast a cap in yo ass' . For fucks sake you shouldn't be allowed to talk like this especially when your mom drives you to school in the Audi/BMW/Lexus/SUV. Just shut the fuck up. Play the game. Nobody wants to listen to your shit or how you are going to rape us. Get a life fuckwad.

Bah enough ranting for now .

Farewell to Nova Scotia

So its been awhile and this post has taken me about 3 log ins to complete but here it is.

It has been a while since I have posted on here, one reason is that life has become increasingly busy with work and the general day to day bullshit that many of us have to deal with.
The second reason is that I just got back from a 12 day trip NS. I haven't been home for an extended period of time in about 3 years, well there was one long weekend but that really doesn't count.
One of the main purposes for this trip was to witness the marriage of Frair Donk. I unfortunately couldn't stay for the reception or the party that I am sure that happened afterwards but the ceremony was wonderful, partly because it was quick and because the church old and very quaint!?!? Yeah yeah I know not a very manly word.
The couple of days before were great, met up with Schmunky and the gang for the after rehearsal getogether and consumed many beers and sang songs to the tune of 2 if not 3 guitars played by, Schmuky, Rob, and the groom to be himself. This ended around 12-12:30 but was continued on by a couple of us, T-boy, Marky Mark, Schmunky, T-boy current flousy and Nadine(Marks woman) and myself. T broke into his fathers house around 1 in the morning and we sat, drank and Schmnky played tunes till his fingers bled or at least till he complained they were going to bleed. This went on until 3 inn the morn when all decided it was time to pass out.
The next morn was a hard one but we all were up and out the door around 8 am, Schmunk and I were meeting D-mac for 9 holes of golf and let me tell ya that Red Bull in the morn is a good thing at times like that. After driving around for a bit we found a course that was booked up and hit the links. That afternoon I met up with J and went out a couple of drinks with him before he went to work at the Triangle and there was introduced to Keith's Red and Keith's Honey Brown.
Damn thats a fine couple of beers. After this I went over to Rob's drank and sang some more songs then around midnight I went back to the hotel where my mother and I were staying, got her and went back down to the Triangle and closed the bar.
Next day was the wedding and the 3 hour drive down to Gilbert's Cove.
Getting there I then had to track down my brother who had over the past day tore all the ligaments in his ankle on a festive night of his own.
Needless to say it was a great time back East but I did come to the realization that it just isn't home anymore. It's sad to say that I have come to love the West and all it has to offer. This is not to say that I don't like it back home but I can't see me moving back there anytime soon like I used to believe.
