Time consumption

Days off never seem to last as long as those working...

Granted... I did sleep until noon.. (first time in months) felt great.


Even yesterday... up by 9am... it is crazy how fast the time goes... I didn't even spend the whole day playing games... I went mountain biking...


So far... Rome Total War is what I am currently... "working" on. Talk about an in depth game...

Halo 2 surrenders..It is over before it even began.

First off.. I am sorry anomaly... for busting your first blog down off of the featured spot.

Before the release of Halo 2... it has been beaten, on legendary.

Mid story... I thought... this is it.. then end of the Halos--- but to give a brief description without spoiling...

There will be a Halo 3.. no doubt. The story... cuts... at a very climactic part in the story.... up pops the credits...

ARRRRRRRG! there wasn't a crazy Puma(Warthog) race against certain death either. You fight this guy... but even with now having to wait... for Halo 3...

Halo 2 has a LOT of story to it... and it is good.

I miss the assault rifle. However... dual weilding smgs is the shiznit.

A mod of a different color

Modding a XBOX with the help of Pinski...I will have a custom Pinski Paintjob

Pinski and I are taking an XBOX case... and painting it... Maybe Monotone.. maybe Duotone... not sure maybe even more...

I will post pics when they are ready...

Hopefully the Krylon plastic paint does what it says it does...

Halo 2

It has been leaked by the French... or at least the French version has been leaked...

It is French audio with English subtitles...

It is all over the Newsgroups...

I, of course am not at liberty to say whether or not I have it... ;)

I hear that it is really cool... cool to the most indeed degree...

I hope everyone will appreciate this game as much as I do, er, will.

At Corporation Sucko

It has been one of those days.. in fact it still IS one of those days...

Why you ask.. becase I am still here. Stuck. I actually think that Hell would be more.

I know, I know.. you are thinking.. Cheski it can't be that bad..


Well.. YOU ARE WRONG! I am starting to rationalize selling things... like the Jeep.. and my PC... just to not have to work here.


Sad times... I, laid back Cheski... had thoughts of punching this guy... to bad he was on the phone....

Phone rings:

Cheski: ***** *** *** This is ****... How may I help you...

Wife: I am calling to see if my speakers are done being repaired....

Cheski: Hang on on second while I log into that terminal...

Wife: .....

Husband takes the phone

Husband: Hello.... hello.. WTF is the problem....

Cheski: I said it will be one second... I have to log into that terminal... and I am currently waiting on it.. to finish....

Husband: Well it's taking too long
(It has been a total of about 1min 30secs..)

Cheski: Sorry sir... it will just be a short moment more...

Husband: I want to talk to your F***ing mangager...

Cheski: Sir please do not cuss...

Husband: I will *** cuss if I **** want to...

Cheski hangs up the phone.


Cheski:***** *** *** This is ****... How may I help you...

Husband: Why the *** did you ***** hang up on me..

Cheski: Because I asked you once to stop cussing....

Husband interrupts: And I *** said that I can *** cuss if I *** want to...

Cheski: Yes and my answer to that was to hang up.. just like now....

Saw an old friend last night

Sitting down.. having a round or two at a local pub....

I realized.... You must keep in touch...

Friends are important. Don't let them slip out of your life because you get too busy with the other things. Those other things honestly don't hold a match to what a friend can do for you.

It was good to see you Big Mike.
