That's my nephew ;P

I know it's long, but just read it . . .

The story goes that some time ago a man punished his 5-year-old
daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was
tight and he became even more upset when the child pasted the gold paper
so as to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless,
the little girl brought the gift box to her father the next morning and
said, "This is for you, Daddy." The father was embarrassed by his
earlier over reaction, but his anger flared again when he found the box
was empty. He spoke to her in a harsh manner, "Don't you know, young
lady, when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something
inside the package?"

The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said, "Oh
Daddy, it's not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was full." The
father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around this
little girl, and he begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.


An accident took the life of the child only a short time later and it is
told that the father kept that gold box by his bed for all the years of
his life. And whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems he
would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love
of the child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each of us as human beings have been given a
golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our
children,family and friends. There is no more precious possession
anyone could hold.

Friends are like angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have
trouble remembering how to fly. Think positive and act. This is nice
finding something positive out of every negative, which we don't always
manage to do.

I am thankful....

For the partner who snores all night, because he is at home asleep with
me and not with someone else.

For the taxes that I pay, because it means that I am employed.

For the clothes that fit a little too snug, because it means I have
enough to eat.

For my shadow that watches me work, because it means I am out in the
sunshine.

For a floor that needs mopping, and windows that need cleaning, because
it means I have a home.

For all the complaining I hear about the government, because it means
that we have freedom of speech.

For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot, because
it means I am capable of walking and that have been blessed with
transportation.

For the pile of laundry and ironing, because it means I have clothes to
wear.

For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means
I have been capable of working hard.

For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, because it means
that I am alive.

And lastly...

For too much e-mail, because it means I have friends who are thinking of
me.

THINK POSITIVE!!

Pearl Jam ~ Oceans

Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Glide me towards...
You know something's left
And we're all allowed
To dream of the next
Oh, ohh the next, time we touch...

You don't have to stray
Tho oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts
Hold tight the ring...
The sea will rise...
Please stand by the shore...
Oh, oh, oh, I will be...
I will be there once more...

One Way To Tell Someone Is Unemployed

We're losing everyone. First the Stove Top lady, then Mr. Miyagi, now the Berenstein Bears co-creator. When will it end!

Girl with peanut allergy dies after kiss

This is really sad...imagine how the poor bf feels.

So Thanksgiving was pretty good. Had to work Friday so no Black Friday sales for me. Christmas shopping is going pretty well so far though. If I pace myself I will be done mid December thank God :)

Been awhile so here's the YTMND dosage:

Hilarious because I found myself speaking like this while playing the Prince of Persia games.

Also another use for the XBox 360 Power Brick :)

Jacked via Kotaku b/c I nearly spit soup all over my monitors.



Take on the Vatican! Jack the Pope Mobile! Avoid drive-bys by rival Protestants and Mormons as they try to “Bible thump” yo’ ass! This time, no one comes back; everyone goes to purgatory! No ambulances, just Pope Mobiles, Pope Mobiles and more Pope Mobiles! No uzis, just holy water and Pope Mobiles! Will he meet the Pope? Play and see!

25 Things You Should Know About Guys

This was actually written by a woman. About 20 out of the 25 are pretty on cue. Guys comments?

My XBox 360 Online Gamecard!



It's pathetic because I don't have an XBox Live account yet, so none of my "achievements" will get logged....yet :P

Thanksgiving Rescue. These people rock.

Pearl Jam has a new album coming this year...and as a dedication here are some of my favorite Eddie Vedder quotes of all time:

"We're very reluctant to disclose song meanings. If a person lends their own interpretation of a song, it becomes their song, too. Music for some people is very personal; they need it.

"If you just feel like saying, '**** this, **** that, **** everything, **** you -- I'm getting the **** outta here... Living is the best revenge..."

"Hey Listen A$$hole, one more ****er throws a ****ing quarter out here, and we're out of here, I'm tellin ya ****er, what the **** your blowin it for ****in everybody. Hit me with a ****ing quarter again, and **** it, I'm outta here, we're all outta here, **** you, and if anyone sees someone throw change right next to them, you have my permission to personally beat the ****ing holy shit out of them. Thank you very much, ****ing idiot. AHhhhhh, that felt good. Thank you." -After being pelted with quarters from some moron.

"If you landed a Premium Xbox 360, you just cost Microsoft $126. That’s the number that Business Week is giving regarding how much Microsoft is losing on each Xbox 360 being sold. Losing money on console releases is nothing new. Sony did and will again, it’s part of the game, lose money on the hardware, make it back in software. Similarly, the report says that the original Xbox contained $323 worth of parts and retailed for $299. So the hit to Microsoft is a little bigger. Unless you landed a Core pack. In which case, we owe you a hug." via Kotaku.

TAKE THAT MS. I costed you money yay.

So I've got my XBox 360 and is a sweet piece of hardware. Way to go Microsoft, you've entered the hardware business finally. The XBox was an asthetic nightmare, however the 360 looks like it could belong in any living room.

So people WERE camping. It was pouring but tents and the like were up outside of Best Buy last night. My pickup was painless and prompt. Stopped at EB at 10 to get my ticketed number, (11). My guesses were very accurate as there were only about 20 preorders on shipment 1. I'm glad I'll be nowhere near that mall until Black Friday if we decide to brave that.

What surprised me most isn't that there were campers, or even parents with young boys, or even girl gamers. The most surprising thing was the solo-parents who were really committed to getting that Christmas gift for their kid. It's kind of touching in a way. There definintely was that 30-something hippie guy who labeled him self an "radical liberal." Damn sandal wearing hippies.

Manhattan....Kansas...see the campers

NJ Target Camper Interviews

XBox 360 Inventory Locator

And here are the 5 rules of NO NOs for Camping Line Etiquette:

#1 Consorting with store employees. The quickest way to turn the line against you, Benedict, is to laugh it up with employees. From the line's perspective, they've already hoarded two-thirds of the available consoles and are guilting the weak minded into purchasing outrageous bundles and/or warranty plans.
#2 Pulling your car up to the curb and blasting the radio. You may think that everyone loves country music as much as you do, but they don't. Just wear headphones and keep the humming to a minimum.
#3 Wearing "I Love Morgan Webb" T-shirts. It's just obnoxious. Besides, just because we didn't think to wear ours, doesn't mean we don't feel the same way!
#4 Playing football. You're not fooling anyone. We know you've never played a sport in your life. Don't start at the launch line where one bad pass could end with several cracked PSP screens.
#5 Saving spots. Don't expect it to be all candy and roses if your pals try to sneak into line with you 5 minutes before the doors open. Countries have gone to war over less and you will not survive it.



Bill couldn't get any more gay...


I WON! This guy is lucky he didn't get JACKED or knocked the (@*#*(@ out leaving Best Buy. Most stores had a 1-console limit but jerks like this, everyone will always believe he's off to scalp it.

XBox 360 Supports XLink Kai!

I've used XLink Kai for about a year now. It's an IP-tunneling software that allows you to play other XBox, PS2, Gamecube, PSPs, or DS's by tricking your system into thinking there's one right next to it. If you're not apt to buy an XBox Live account...you can still play for free! :)

Camden, NJ country's most dangerous city.

At least we win at something.

Here are some funny XBox360 forum posts about the power "brick" adapter. Cracked me up. Love those XB Fanboys.

The brick reminds me of the power generators on Hoth...

-Tie it to the ankles of your enemies, locate the Hudson River and perform your own mob hit!

-Slide it across the floor and turn on the 360 so the power brick opens up and sucks in ghosts.

-Get it confiscated by the FBI because they mistake it for a Weapon of Mass Destruction.

-Xbox360 Power Supply Tossing: The NeXt Olympic Sport.

-"Take it to the Airport and set it down"

-That's a power cord? I thought they were giving away the old Xbox with the new one!

-In case of car failure use it for an emergency backup battery.

-Can we say Flux Capacitor?

-I'm not sure a Delorean has the necessary horsepower to haul that thing.

-Some say that Noah, with the help of God, made the original power brick which he used to survive the great flood.

-Don't worry, there will be plenty of human sacrifices available when store clerks announce "Sorry folks, that's all the 360's we have!" on launch night. The floors of retail stores all over the country will run with enough human blood in the ensuing riots to sate the malicious thirst of the power brick for years to come!

-Have you thought about counseling together? Even though it is an almighty system, it has no right to make you feel inferior or beat you. You are an equal partner in the relationship between you and your XBOX, don't let it make you feel different.

-It seems to me that a power brick on your front porch is an advertisement that you own a 360, which I think would actually entice burglars... Of course, they'd need the power brick to play it, and they couldn't lift the power brick without a power brick, and if they already had a power brick, chances are they already have a 360....

-The brick must be destroyed! I will take the brick into Mordor and cast it into Mount Doom!

-Take it to the airport and chock the wheels of aircraft

LOL
