xmas 07

I got some cool thangs for xmas. I don't really know what to say other than yeah, I got some awesome stuff! So here goes...

I'm going to go ahead and declare the best for FIRST.

1. Line6 Pod XT

One of the most useful guitar recording tools around....EVER. It basically SIMULATES different popular/famous amps digitally, and even lets you choose what amp, all of it's settings, what cabinet, how big the cabinet is, what speakers are in it, and what kind of microphone is in front of it. Not only that, but I can add effects akin to stomp pedals in real life, and even set up an EQ and a noise gate to cut out the nasty signal noise. This thing is insane awesome, and im going to further roll out my new musical project soon thanks to this little red bean. :) (more info on this later!)


2. Norelco Electric Shaver

"Ehh so what Alex. It's not like you need it!" Sure, guy that still hangs with his grandma on a daily basis, but when I DO shave I fucking hate it. Have you seen my hideous adam's apple? Think that thing is easy to shave around with a straight blade? It isn't. Far from it. Notice the cuts? Well you probably haven't, as I actually haven't been shaving my neck very much due to the frequent cuts. The new shaver should help. I still think I will hang onto some fuzz on my neck, but every now and then when I actually SHAVE SHAVE I'll be covered.

3. Diesel Cologne

Girls don't really like me, so the least I could do is smell good when im around them. My sis got it for me since she works at Dillards in Beaumont. I would say that I hope it works, but I haven't really been digging the current lady scene. Oh well. I guess I can rest assured that the elevator at work will be left smelling nifty when I exit.

4. Metroid Prime 3 for Wii

Haven't played any Metroid games since the SNES days. Supposedly this one is among the best, if not better than the Gamecube Metroids. Dad got it for me, and im going to play the crap out of it!

5. The Road Warrior & 2001: A Space Odyssey on Blu-Ray Disc

Two of my all time favorite movies. Got the HD Blu-Ray versions, and this weekend I plan on sitting around with my new beer mugs, some golden delicious beverages, and watching these with friends hopefully.(or enemies?) If anyone would like to join me, out of town or not, let me know. I'd be happy to have you and I have two futons in the living room to sleep on.(Although one is broken, and stuck in couch mode till we fix it.)


6. Munnies. What did I do with these munnies? ROCK BAND

I went to Target as soon as I got to Houston and bought the last copy of Rock Band with the drums/mic/guitar packaged in. A really cool game. Singing is actually FUN and I HATE SINGING. Drums are pretty cool, and it seems to be good at teaching coordination. Guitar is so so, but mainly because I hate the guitar it comes with. The buttons click too hard, the strum bar doesn't click AT ALL and is way too hard to press, and when I tilt the guitar upward to initiate the bonus points deal it doesn't detect me. Instead it randomly decides that I tilted the guitar, even if im sitting down........yeah..... ANYWAY. Other than that the game is great. Hopefully they release a patch to allow Guitar Hero 3 guitars, so I can go buy that and use it's guitar instead. But yeah, overall pretty damn fun. Can't wait for my next partay!

7. Bud Lite Beer Set

How thoughtful of Jennifer, knowing im quite fond of beer. Came with 5 or 6 beer glasses, coasters, and an ice bucket. Next BBQ this thang is gettin' WORN OUT. Hopefully she'll have a few wimme?

8. Bad Cat Calendar

A calendar from Jamie with various photos of cats getting into mischief. I don't have anything on my cube walls yet to display, so this is going up there ASAP as soon as I can get one of the cork board attachments for the cube wall.

9. Phantasy Star Online for Gamecube

Kris told me it's an awesome co-op game and I tend to believe him. Why? Because a lot of games he introduced me to blew my mind. As soon as we get an extra GC controller we're totally killing some booshes and playing this hardcore.

10. Inflatable Workout Ball

I don't have a bench with which to do bench presses off of, so Jamie got me one of those exercise balls that you can use as a bench. I'll be breaking this thing in tomorrow. I would have today but im worn out from my.....interesting vacation.

11. Brak Show Vol.2

I've been meaning to buy this forever but never had the cash when at Target. Jamie put this issue to rest.


(delayed post due to work intensity. my "bad".)

Catching Up

So it's been a while has it not? August was my last real entry, so yeah... anyway. A lot has gone down, and up, since then so how about a quickie?

In (to the best of my knowledge)chronological order:

-Got a slight raise. Not much, but enough to where I can at least not be drowned by bills etc. (More on that situation later.) I'm supposedly required to take on more duties or something because of this, although my conversation with my boss was that I felt I wasn't getting compensated enough for what I was already doing for the company. I will need to discuss this again with him sometime, as my proposed and NEEDED number was rejected.(haggled)

-Decided that me and Jamie needed to part ways. I have on and off had feelings of doubt about our relationship for the last year or so, and I felt that it was wrong of me to continue to be with her and not be honest about my desire to leave. Talked to her about it one day and to my relief, got the exact same sentiment from her. We need to be our own.....selves.... for a while. She hasn't really gone out and dated around as I have and it's selfish of me to restrain her from doing so. So we decided to just finish our lease we had just renewed, get separate beds, and continue life as normal until September 08 when we move out. Not sure what im going to do then, but that's another story...

-Met a really awesome person.... tried to keep things casual and on a 'just whatever' basis... guess it didn't work and we got too close? I feel like I was doing a decent job of steering things back toward casual territory, but by that time the damage had apparently been done. So yeah... still have all my fingers and toes though!

-Got a car....yeah, that's right. Me getting a new car. Crazy huh? Black 08 Yaris '3 door'(hatchback). My dad talked to some dealership in Beaumont and they got me down to like $307 a month with 6 year warranty and my dad's even got my insurance covered for 6 months. pretty awesome. I'm really happy with it, although I haven't really had any chances to break it in yet. (Gas mileage is awesome btw)

Other than those HIGHLIGHTS I've pretty much been cruising through 9-to-5 life and trying to make time for gaming. Nothing going on in the 'romance'(laughable) area, so I guess I'm allowed to be a geek now? Ehh, whatever. Started working out every other day, which is cool I guess. I don't really think I look any different, but my main concern is strength anyway. I don't want to get crushed by a simple task like moving a box to a different room, or opening a pickle jar.

Let's see what else.... ummm... having a party tonight? Big Lebowski themed. Wii/PS3 bowling, White Russians, and the movie playing. Good times. Hopefully I'll get to hang out with some out-of-town friends over the next few weeks or so. I'm taking a few extra days off for vacation this year, so that should help.

I should be posting some more here from now on, but not sure what. I'll do my best to keep this from being a diary or something though. ;)

Until then...
