My father came back from San Antonio today. He was there for his twice a year checkup. They would like to operate again but he said he wanted to wait a while.
Hurricane season has started and I can not wait for it to end.
I received a bill from ATT for 190.00. I called and told them I felt I had be repeatedly lied to. I was told my contract would expire on April 5th of this year. I was given the run around until I asked if it was necessary for me to contact the Texas Attorney General Office, The FCC, and The Texas Communication Commission.
They suddenly decided that I owed them no money what so ever.

Breaking Everything
First my cell phone dies then my xbox dies. If that isn't enough to try my patients my laptop freezes and is as useful as a dead roach.
Well I replace the phone and the xbox is being repaired I hope. Knowing Microsoft they are probably installing a camera so they can spy on you while your playing games.
Well I broke down and got a laptop. It's an Acer 5620.
So far I love it.

Phones and Games
I have a new cell phone but I am not sure if I like it.
My Xbox 360 died. I have my warranty handy so I'll talk to Microsoft later in the day.
With the 360 out of action I'll finish my GTA games on the PSP.
My father is still bleeding in his eye but the amount of blood is reduced. He says his vision is far greater than it was. The doctors will take another try at stopping the bleeding and improving his vision.
I am almost entirely healed from the ulcers. There a little bit of scar tissue but if that all I am very happy.
I am waiting for Iron man and Speed Racer to hit the movie channels.

Grand Teft Auto Four
I have been playing Grand Theft Auto 4 by Rock star Games.
This is a game in which you can steal cars, kill hookers, fly helicopters, ride choppers, shot cops, and drive speed boats all over New York city without leaving the comfort of your own home.
In other words this is a very adult game.
This is one of those game that Hillery Clinton will scream and yell about without ever even playing it.
The game is very violent.
The graphics and audio are superb.
The controls are responsive and well done.
The story of your Nikko is well written.
I give this game a 5 out of 5.

Update
I have been fighting an ulcer of sorts.
Actually five.
I saw my doctor early this week. Of the five ulcers two have healed up completely. The other have healed to a point the my daily wound cleaning has been changed to a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule.
I have also been taking physical and occupational therapy. The physical therapy is helping me relearn to walk. I have taken a few spins around the house using a walker. I still can not walk on my own.
The occupational therapy is helping me build my upper body strength. I have one of those rubber band things I do a set of daily exercises with.
In other news GTA 4 will be released next week. I can hardly wait. It will be like a very early Christmas.

Army of Screwed
I have been playing the new game "Army of Two"
Here my review and a warning...
Army of Two is a wonderful game with two flaws one of which is absolutely unforgivable and fatal to the game.
In Army of Two you play one of two former Air-born Rangers.
You and an artificial intelligent character or in online mode a real player will team up to save the world (of course) and make some money while your at it. The game includes a new gimmick called back to back. At certain points you and your partner will stand back to back and take on all comers who attack you. This is wonderfully done and is a fine new addition to gaming.
You may upgrade your weapons, buy new weapons, and change your appearance all by shopping in the in game stores.
The graphics and audio is very nicely done. The control are a bit complicated but the game offers so much it is understandable. The game is responsive and runs smoothly.
The single player campaign is a training ground for the cooperative play online.
Here is where the games fatal flaw lies.
There is no online play for US and UK players.
This is an intentional design feature.
There reason give is by EA Montreal's Reid Schneider, senior producer of Army of Two is super slow connections are what prompted the region blocking. Using a deterministic (peer-to-peer) network model enables the game's synchronized game play animation, but requires parity on both systems. If a slow connection is thrown into the mix, "the person with the worst connection brings down the whole group to his/her worst connection level," explained Schneider. "While not generally a problem for COOP (since most people play coop with friends) when playing in Versus mode 3 people can be highly adversely affected by one player with a bad connection. We use the region lock to minimize the likelihood of this occurring."
Mr. Schneider my words to you are...
BULLSHIT!
You game may be highly demanding of servers but let the players deal with that.
Most players sir are a far shot brighter than you give them credit for.
This problem exists on every online game there is. The simple solution is to ask the slow player to leave. Kick him or her out of the game. Or even offer advise as how to resolve the problems on your own or having your ISP provide the service they are PAID for.
EA's action show arrogance and contempt for the player and PAYING customers. You should at least have the fact of no US / UK play clearly labeled on the package.
This is a fatal flaw to the game.
Had I been aware of this I would have not purchase the game.
Any lie to make money EA?
Hopefully EA will develop a patch for the glaring and unforgivable problem.
Shame on EA for not having the patch ready on day one and shame on them on not alerting the customers about this problem.
It is my opinion that EA has done serious damage to there reputation in the gaming community. Any first year business student will tell you EA that a companies reputation can either make them or break them.
Consider your reputation broken.

Weather Or Not
Winter is fading fast. Summer with it dreadful heat will be here soon.
The air conditioner will be running and at some point break. The power bill will skyrocket.
It is in the forecast to stay in the mid seventies this week. I will enjoy the cool while it lasts.
My cell phone contract is up soon and my phone is getting old and tired. I guess I will invest in a new phone. One I like is with a different carrier and another I like is made by my current provider.
I guess I will make my mind up in the next few days.
I am back to playing Halo 3.
I have a bunch of games to trade in for Grand Theft Auto 4 when it is released.

Wars
My father is feeling better.
On Wednesday he finally went the the emergency room. They did a ton of test. He finally got checked in about ten pm. He spent the night.
It turn out he had a stomach blockage. When he was moving the heavy plants he somehow managed to have one of his hernias fold over his stomach and block his stomach. They decided to watch him over the night and then decide if they needed to operate.
However sometime during the night his stomach straitened itself out.
He came home Thursday and he seems happy to be home and have the cat bossing him around.
Yet another health war he has survived.
I bought Front lines Fuel Of War.
It is a single play first person shooter set in the near future. There is a world wide depression and a coalition of bad guys are hording all the oil so you must save the world.
The graphics and audio are very well done although there are some draw in problems.
The controls are very well laid out and easy to understand.
The battlefields are big and well designed. There always multiple solutions to any problem.
The one downside is there is no cover system. Even the system in Perfect Dark would have worked well here.
The political wars are in full force.
Barack Obama came to town and spoke for nearly an hour.
Hillery Clint has been here several times as well as husband and former president Bill Clinton.
The Republicans have seem to have forgotten about our little city. They all go on and on about how important the Texas vote is but none of the could be bothered to drop in and say hi. Extremely bad form.
On other wars it seems my doctor is running for congress. So if he wins I have to find a new doctor?
And finally Bill the cat has once again become embroiled in a war with another cat. Bill is scratched up but is doing well and is ruling the house with an iron paw.

Another Record Day
Today we set an all time heat record. The high today was 91 degrees. I hope this does not indicate a long HOT summer.
Sick As A Dog
My father is sick as a dog. He has strained his back and pulled the muscles in his torso. He planted nine big paradise plants, He carried nine forty pound bags of fertilizer. He has been in pain and having chills since Saturday. He claims he feels better and is moving around more.
I hope he learns from this but I doubt he will.

Writers Guild Strike Over
The Writers Guild Strike is over. It cost the entertainment industry an estimated $500 million. The strike that started November 5th 2007 dragged on for three months.
However don't hope to see new shows real soon. The scripts have to be written, approved, shredded by lawyers, re written, re approved, and re argued over. You can also expect a lot of hold ups from actor, director, and other who now want more money.
The Writers Guild states that 48 percent of their west coast union is unemployed. I say maybe they should look at the crap that is broadcast now and it would be easy to see why.

Thunder and Lighting
A cold front is moving through the area. There is a lot of thunder and some lighting but very little rain.
It is cooling off some. Our winter is almost over entirely.
Football season is done and I miss it.
My birthday will be next week. I got a coupon for two dollars off the comic book of my choice from a local comic book store.
I may get a new cell phone for my birthday.

Bad Foot
I think I may have re injured my foot. I accidentally put all my body weight on my bad foot. I almost fell into the bathtub.
My foot really hurts but it has hurt even worse.
I will survive.

Birds
We went grocery shopping and annoyed a very busy bird. He was eating popcorn in the parking lot and he had to move aside while we went by. He was literally hopping mad. He followed me to the front door of the store screeching and fuming giving a if looks could kill look.
I drop a few pieces of my popcorn to make up for driving over his.
I have no idea what I want for my birthday and this is annoying some people.
Thats life.

Blood
I had my blood work today. The lady was so fast that she had me ready to leave before the paper work done.
I went to the local grocery store and ran into an old friend I had not seen in years. He looked good. He busy working in the movie business.

There is a new map pack for the XBox 360 game John Woo Presents Stranglehold.
The map pack costs $15.00 and gives you ten new maps and twenty one new characters for online play only. You can also unlock 250 Gamerscore points.

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/live/serviceissue.htm
Microsoft has announced the will be for a limited time will be giving away free copies of the XBox Live Arcade game Undertow.
This is there way of apologizing for the extremely poor performance of Live over the holidays.
There is no mention of what happens if you have already paid for Undertow.
Once again Microsoft as a clear view of the problem and still fails to deal with it properly.

Saturday
Today The Ovation network is show the classic movie The Seven Samurai.
Yesterday I bought the XBox 360 game Burnout Paradise.
It's a great game.
You start with a junker of a car and you unlock better and faster cars as you play through the game. The more races and other activities you complete the more cars you get. There a grand total of seventy five cars.
The graphics are nicely done.
The controls are very well done and easy to use.
The audio is also nice except for the games major flaw. There is a DJ that talks none stop. He quickly gets annoying.
All in all Paradise Burnout is worth at least a rent.

Bigfoot on Mars
Big Foot (the creature) not the truck has been photographed stomping around on the rocky surface of Mars.
Why is Bigfoot on Mars simple, to get away form those damn nosy poperatzy from the Science Chanel, Discovery Chanel and The Learning Chanel.
The poor guy has been relentlessly stalked by these overly curious camera toting busy bodies.
Bigfoot successfully moved to Mars only now to be stalked by NASA. Obviously NASA is jealous of Bigfoot's advance space flight technology.
My advice to Bigfoot is he should start hanging out with Oussama Ben Laden or even better yet B D Cooper.

Give Me A Beat
The Christmas Carols are gone and the music at the grocery store is back to its mix of tunes from the eighties. There is something surrealistic about shopping for corn on the cob while music you loved in high school fills the air.
Not Neo Again
AMC American Movie Classics is running The Matrix yet again. The Matrix has become the replacement of The Beastmaster as most over shown film ever. It is a good film but it is not a classic. Enough of Neo already.

Halo 3 Rankings
I have made the rank of Lieutenant 3rd grade in Halo.
This game is down right addictive.
I have yet to meet someone that has downloaded the new maps. I guess they are waiting for the maps to be free some time in the next few months just before the release of the new map back.
I have learned some new tricks in the game. I now know how to board enemy aircraft and vehicles while in use, force the operator out and take control of the craft.
I still enjoy taking screen shots and enjoy posting them in my file share.
I have also made a few film clips.
If you haven't tried Halo 3 yet you should

New Mythbusters
Tonight they showed a new episode of The Mythbusters.
They looked into a series of myths connected to the James Bond film series.
They tackled the myth of shooting a propane tank to cause it to explode?
Can you jump a boat over a police car?
Can a watch with an electro magnet in it deflect a bullet?
More fun from Jamie and Adam.
They promised more new episodes next week.

Dallas Cowboys Lose Big Game
Dallas Cowboys 17
New York Giants 21
The Dallas Cowboys lost a game that would have broken a trend.
The Cowboys could have had a chance at a record sixth Superbowl.
The Boys earned 11 penalties.
I hope the Cowboys learn to focus.
I hope Romo will learn to focus on football during the season. Other matter in a proper time.

Today was a sad day. My friend Susan left town today to go to Dallas. She is going there to receive help in getting her back healthy after injuring it. I will miss her a lot
Her leaving and Kens death have made the opening of this year just awful.

Yet Another Day In The Life
XBox Live is still having problems despite all their claims they have solved the problems. The rumor is that XBox will give XBox Live Gold Members a free arcade game as an apology. There has been no titles mentioned and one has to wounder why Microsoft could not see this coming knowing the amount of consoles they sold over the holiday period.
One also wounder if XBox Live was attacked via the net.
Only time will tell if they can solve the problems and if they learn anything from what happened?

Bad Day
Today's is Kens funeral and I feel like hell. I keep thinking about Ken and the time we spent together and the things he taught me. I'm going to miss him a great deal.
My head hurts so much I am having a hard time seeing.
I'm also still sad that Susan will be leaving town. She gave me some free goodies from her job. I got a pen flash light and some screw drives. You can never have too many flash lights.
Yesterday marked the middle of winter. The weather guys are predicting a hard northerner late next week. I cant wait. I have a new jacket I got super cheap I want to wear.
Our cat Bill is still angry his bed has been put away. If we have guests the bed will return and he can sleep in his new bed.
My favorite mall has traded hands again and these guys are claiming they will spend millions of dollars upgrading it. It would be really nice if the mall had ONE automatic door for the handicapped. But I doubt that will happen.
I am still playing Halo 3 and getting better. I jumped onto an enemy aircraft and tossed the pilot off and to control of the fighter. My team had two aircraft including me and the opposing team had no chance. I am not that good a pilot but the ship is so easy to fly I became a one man terror. Halo keeps impressing me with how good it is.

Two Queens
The Queen of England is playing with a Wii. Apparently she likes Wii Bowling.
My friend Susan is leaving town. She hurt her back and can not find any help here in town. So she is moving away to a place that does have the therapy she is needing. I am really going to miss her.

Losing A Friend and Mentor
Today a very good friend died.
Ken was a friend, teacher, and Mentor.
He was someone I thought would never die. He was a explosion of energy , humor, and intellect.
He taught me a great deal about television. It's production and it's power.
In the past few years he has been very ill suffering a series of operations, hospital stays, and the betrayal of the company he gave over thirty years of his life.
Ken has been in a world of pain. I am happy he no longer has to suffer but I am sad at not having him around as a friend.
I feel even more saddened for his wife and child. I know they love him tremendously and are now heartbroken.
The are know number of words that can describe how much they will miss him. I will miss him as well as so will those who worked with him.

Craig Is Back
Due to a deal cut by David Letterman The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on CBS is back live on tape.
Craig Ferguson is the best thing to hit late night television sense Johnny Carson retired.
He is fresh cleaver and energetic. Not the tired exhausted joke Letterman has been pitching for the last few years.

More RIAA Bad Behavior
If you buy a CD and make a copy to your CD the RIAA claims you are a thief.
The RIAA or Recording Industry Association of America seems hell bent on suing everyone on planet earth who has ever heard any recorded music in any manor.

Baby It's Cold Outside
Here in deep south Texas we are under a freeze warning.
They are predicting a freeze starting at one am to about six am.
I'm gonna let the cat in and bundle up and enjoy the cold. It's better than sweating.

First Day of the Year
The first day of the year started out not to well as my heart palpitated for a little bit but it did get back to its normal rhythm.
The local area is under freeze warnings tonight.
I played a lot of Halo 3 New Years Eve. In one game some kid on my team kept singing "Red rover red rover please run me over" throughout the entire game.
I also got to play online with my new buddy Mike. We played a campaign mission and I showed him a few place in one map to use to let his shields recharge.
Tomorrow my father sister will leave and I'm sure my dad will miss having her around.
My father seemed to have had a great time this Christmas.
I am looking forward to the rest of the winter.

Dec 24th 2007
It is now Christmas Eve day. All in all not a bad year so far. We where spared any hurricanes. My health is still good. I have only been to the emergency room once this year. My father is doing well and the cat still rules the house with an iron paw.
Also add Halo 3 being as good as the hype.
Some excellent tasting pecans, and peanut butter chews.
My friend who was in such grave straits seems to be doing better.
May next year be just as good.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Idiots and Cell Phones
In a recent trip to a store I ran into a woman shouting into the air. She turn and I saw she was wearing one of those cell phone head sets. She was so enthralled with her phone call she had no idea of how rude she was being. She was ignoring everyone else in the store, blocking the way with her shopping cart carrying on a conversation so loud the dead could here her.
The sad part is she was trying to collect money for her church.
In her arrogance she has inconvenienced and annoyed everyone in the store but had served as a poor example of the people who attend her church.
Before you use your cell phone be aware of where you are and the people around you.

Cowboys Win, Time Warner Loses
Dallas Cowboys 38
Green Bay Packers 28
In a game that I didn't get to see due to the childish bickering between Time Warner Cable and The NFL. Like most juvenile arguments this one is over money. So basically it was to big rich spoiled kids arguing over who controls the toys. However Time Warner may have suffered more than they thought. Several apartments complexes changed cable providers to companies that had no part in the argument. Also there was a wave of personal subscribers doing the same.
It would serve both parties right if their greed cost them money.

That Time Of The Year
Fall is here and while it has not gotten much cooler the local stores are finally selling nuts. My favorite Pecans are going for 6 dollars a pound! So much for that bit of happiness. Once again something one can enjoy has been priced so only the rich can enjoy it.
Christimas Tree
In an effort to clean out the garage the Christmas tree has made its earliest appearance ever. It is decorated and waiting for Santa. And of course Bill the cat has chosen it for his new napping spot.We hope to have a garage sale and raise a little Christmas cash.

Great entrance...
We had a new cold front come in last night. It lowered today's temperatures by a mere three degrees. However, what an entrance! It had a light show (lighting), music (thunder), and ever water works. The winds gusts piled a ton of chairs that where placed around a hotel swimming pool into a huge group blocking a door. The wind ripped a few trees out of the ground and the thunder was so loud the salt and pepper shakers in my house where dancing in place. The damage here was nothing compared to Michigan. Whole houses being shredded in moments. It looked like a hurricane hit.

Breath In
I had my respiratory test today. I did basically the same as last years test. No improvement but no lost ground. I'm happy with that.
My visiting family and friends road off today on there Harley's. Three guys traveling America all by themselves, excluding laptops, cellphones, digital cameras, GPS. All they need is a satellite dish and to mount lazy boys to the engines and it would be like driving the house around. Well there still the bathroom problem to figure out. Give them time.

The Master Chief is here!
The wold son will be rid of all illegal aliens.
Well the extraterrestrial kinds at least, for Master Chief Petty Officer SPARTAN-117 or simply know as John will be here at Midnight.
John is the star of the game series Halo. The tough as nails Master Chief stared in Halo and Halo2 and the upcoming sequel and closer of the Halo trilogy Halo 3.
The fictitious Master Chief or THE MASTER CHIEF as followers of the Halo series call him has a following any politician, rock star, or actor would envy.
Voiced by Steve Downes and created by Marcus Lehto, Rob McLees, and Shi Kai Wang is a mystery man as all good western and gun toting hero should be. Never shown without his helmet and soft spoken he rides into town, kicks ass, then rides off without a goodbye.
The Master Chief was voted eighth greatest video game hero ever.
Midnight tonight marks the release of Halo 3.
In the words of one of the games other characters..."Let's get freaky people!"
The Idiots of the Week Award.
I hereby announce that this weeks of the "Idiot Of The Week Award" is ABC News Overnights hosts Ron Corning and Taina Hernandez. Both of them displayed extreme lows in professionalism and commons sense while doing a segment on the recent death of Marcel Marceau. If their behavior reflect that of ABC News in general all parties involved should be ashamed of themselves.
Not Know When To Stop
I had blood work done Thursday. While sitting in the waiting room I was watch a specially made program done for the company who's office I was in. Everyone was watching the program with wrapped attention. The show descried what the company does and the steps they take to guaranty you privacy. During the show they showed a nurse or tech taking blood. They showed the needle breaking the skin. At this point every either held a magazine in front of their face, closed his eyes, or turned away. The producers of this video had everyone attention up till that point. They simple did not know when to stop so they lost their viewers. A little self control would have helped these people.

Felix
There is now another class four hurricane named Felix headed our way. It should make landfall around Wednesday morning and renter the Gulf of Mexico the following day if not sooner. If Felix follows the project path he will impact Mexico late next week. Again I hope the hurricane maintains its current projected path and misses us entirely. We in any case receive even more rain. Both of our major water sources are full and over flowing.

Dean came ashore well below us but we did get some rain. There is now a tropical wave beneath Florida and is headed into the Gulf of Mexico.
100 Days remaining.
Hurricane season ends November 30th which means there are a hundred days left.
There are no signs of any new activity forming.
If we can just get through the next three months safely we be clear.
September is always a bad month.

Dean and the media.
Some of the local media here have taken the stand that Dean is no longer a threat.
Dean will later today become even more of a threat than ever before. Dean will have crossed the land and headed back into The Gulf of Mexico.
Once in the gulf Dean can take and new course and regain strength.
Dean will be a viable threat until he is well inland.

The maps showing the course that hurricane Dean may take indicate that he may make landfall near the US / Mexico boarder if not south of this. However hurricanes do as they wish and he can do any number of things.
I do hope the projections are correct.
May everyone come out of this OK.

Same Ol' Situation
Well it has finally stopped raining here and is getting hot. The less than a hundred days left in hurricane season and the gulf is quite. Hopefully we can make ti through the next few months without any alarms.
I also learned that Crazy Taxi is coming out for the portable game system Sony PSP. Crazy Taxi got it's start on the Sega Dreamcast system and was a truly fun game. You play a one of three or four cabdrivers that must pick up and drop off wares before time runs out. The game is also noted for it's original music by the band "The Offspring."
I can't wait to get my hands on this game.

It Can Happen To You...
Well I have a cold.
It poured a few days ago and I got caught out in the downpour. I was soaked to the skin. My cold is doing better, my throat is feeling much better and I am not as warm as I was.
I saw a video for a new game called Two Worlds. It looked really interesting. It seems to be a good deal like Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. I may have to pick this thing up whenever it is released.

Life is a highway.
Some people claim life is a highway.
Frankly I think life is more like one of those moving sidewalk things you see at airports.
It only goes one way.
Someone else is controlling the speed and they keep changing their minds.
The repair guy take forever to show up.
You spend way to much time just standing around waiting.
And…
There is always some idiot in front of you with his head in the clouds.
