Today sucked.
I am worried if I will really get any help with all this stuff.
Everyone seem to have a reason not to help. I cant afford to hire anyone.
Maybe I should just sell the house and set up a trust to take care of my dad. Once that is done I could just blow my funking head off and be done with it.

Thankful
I thought I would post weekly a wrap up of my week so I could remember it.
Here what I ma happy for this week.
I am not in the hospital.
My friend is helping me with all the paperwork.
My copy of COD Modern Warfare 2 arrived faster than I thought.
The pecans have hit the stores.
The radishes are big this year.
My neighbors.
I got two cool cab drivers.
Things that make me unhappy this week.
The fact I had to pay 0.44 cents in due postage because some idiot at some office does not know how to read a postage meter.
The price of cab fare.

November Rain
I had no trick or treaters. Well actually I had no candy to give away so I didn't answer the door.
I hope we get some cold weather soon. However it is nice a cool here finally. Fall has settled in and so should winter the few days it lasts here.

Vince Did It
I been playing WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010 for the X Box 360.
This is either one of the worst video games ever or one of the funniest.
First off everyone and every thing looks as if it was made of play doe that had been left in the sun too long.
The controls have been changed again but not for any improvement. Mostly just to the effect of being annoying. However the controls are responsive.
The audio is well done, nothing special just good enough to be understood.
The storyline in the main game is silly beyond words. You start out as a member of the audience of a show when Santino Marella invites you to challange him for his championship belt. You win the belt and start you career as a WWE Superstar.
The game does have a few good points.
You can make your own finishers. You can even make one where you launch yourself off the corner post.
You can off course create your own wrestler and his own entrance.
This is a rental.

The Un COLA
For the first time since 1975 the will be no Cost Of Living Adjustment.
Under the law, Social Security payments are supposed to increase annually if U.S. Consumer Price Index increase. But over the past 12 months, prices have declined. The CPI-W the price index upon which Social Security adjustments are based on has dropped 1.7 percent since September 2008.
So it's supposedly cheaper to live now. OK on that logic I think congress should take a pay cut of 1.7 percent and there should a pay freeze for two years.

Natal
Microsoft has announced project Natal. Basically a motion capture device for your home. Natal they claim will replace your controller.
In my view this will not happen for several reasons. One the Natal system requires very precise lighting. Lighting most homes do not come with.
Another and the main one is the player. People mostly do not want to jump around to play a game. They want to sit down and relax while they play a game.
However I do welcome the research into Natal. Natal could open doors into not only gaming but other fields for the disabled. I hope that in Microsoft's endeavorers they do not forget the disabled.

More Bad News
My father back in the hospital.
And of course it being the weekend I can't reach anyone to talk to.
This is so frustrating.

Hows Your Dongel
I heard from my over seas friend Barry.
He is doing well in the UK and it was very nice to catch up with him.
He had never hear of a Slim Jim!
I also tried to talk him into getting Halo 3 ODST. He has a bone to pick with Bungie so he did not want to buy the game.
Maybe he will find a used copy someplace.

Rain
Historically speaking today was the day it was most likely to get rain. We did not get so much as a drop.
However my sister came by and paid me a visit.
I have a lot of little tasks to do this week.
The price of cab fair will place a huge strain on my wallet.
It is getting cooler here and I couldn't be happier.
The weather men are saying we will have our first cold front by this weeks ending. We may even have a stronger cold front by next week.

09 - 09 - 09
Today was a bad day.
It started very early when my father called me furious for one reason or the other. I had a doctor appointment a few hours later and was so upset by his call I never got back to sleep.
The the appointment. The 90 minute class turned into a four hour adventure. It turned out that the medicine I was on had done its job so well that it would not register on the machine. So I had to go to the blood lab.
I have to go back Friday for more blood work.

Wow
Long time no post.
A lot has happened from the last time I have posted.
My father has had a stroke.
He is getting better little by little.
In other news we are near the peak of hurricane season and I have already bored up the house just in case.
Also new game season is here and the next few months offer some new games for the 360.
In line are WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010. I am not to sure about this game, I hope they fix the fowled up control scheme from last year.
Next is Halo ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper) I have this as a must have. I love the Halo first person shooter series. In this game you will not play The Masterchief. You play a standard trooper.
Finally is the most promising game GTA4 The Ballad of Gay Tony. I know very little about this game other than it is made by the boys at Rockstar games. I trust these guys to deliver the goods.
