Decisions

Sooo....I really enjoy the job that I'm at now. But I got a call back from a spot at Sears call center for an interview. It pays a few dollars more and it's a M-F 40+ hours a week. So if I do get the offer for the job, I might end up taking it. NOT SURE YET!

Plus I'm slowly making changes in my life, I started with getting rid of shitty friends, and in return reconnecting with older friends who have been nothing but positive forces in my life. I need to be more responsible with my life, cut back on the drinking, fast food, keep up with my DIET. I'm going to save up for six months so I can possibly move out!

Now for some loser nerd talk. I know it's been a love hate relationship with Modern Warfare 2. But recently it's been a blast. I'm going on my 2nd prestige, and I've been experimenting with different guns and attachments, so far it's fun...FOR NOW.

Armageddon!

One of my favorite movies of the late 90's!

Pretty rad Saturday

Did some more work in the backyard. Then Went and hung out at my friends house, chilled by the pool and grilled some steaks.

After I went with my friend Jorge to help him pick out a HDTV for his new house that he just moved into. We went to Fry's electronics, saw a few TVs. Then we went to Best Buy to compare. Of course Best Buy had better deals. Jorge ended up getting a Samsung 46' LED 3D 1080p TV. It looks really NICE. It was 2300 bucks! Jorge was going to have it delivered and have them wall mount it in his living room. The delivery was free, but it would of been $350 just for them to mount it up on the wall. So we decided to just buy the mounting bracket and opted to take it ourselves. Thankfully it fit in his car. Jorge's family came over to pray over the house, chatted with them for a bit.
Jorge lives right by an area that has everything you could think of. Dozens of different places to eat, a super wal-mart, a super Target, a movie theater, pretty awesome area to live. We ate at a T.G.I. Fridays, I believe the only on that's open in the state. Had some steaks and beers.

Pretty much an awesome Saturday.

Iguana Macks

I wrote this originally on my phone yesterday and sent it to my blog...BUT it never got here..stupid phone!

There is a place I like to go to almost every other day, a place where I can unwind have some beers and talk to some cool people. The place is Iguana Macks a local bar 30 seconds from my house. A friend of mine use to come here everyday since his job was right across the street. He brought me here a few times, but I didn't think anything of it. Its when I was introduced to happy hour, that I fell in love with this place.


Everybody knows my name, now I'm sure that's probably not a good thing, which only proves that I come here waaaay too much, but you know what? I'm okay with that. I haven't been to any other place like this, never have I meet cool ass people anywhere else.


I'll admit..I love this place

My collection of agua

Worked out on the gazelle. Feeling pretty good. I collected all the water bottles I had in the room...Didn't realize I had so many!

Tonight's Lost...well answered no question whatsoever. There is only 5 episodes left I believe, it better be GOOD!!

I have a jungle in my back yard!!!

I usually take care of the lawn in the front yard every 2 weeks or so. But we all totally forgot about the back yard and now it looks like a freaking jungle in there!

Tomorrow I'm going to be there as long as I have to, to clean all this shit up. Got a friend who we sometimes use to fix things around the house, helping me out as well, we are going to get rid of the pool, and all the other junk that don't belong here, I plan to make an area for the grill. I'm not going to let my dogs back there because we will never see them again! Hope I don't wander into some new species that where created back there.

Eyjafjallajökull

I keep seeing all these pictures from the volcano in Iceland all over the net. These pictures are awe-inspiring, mother nature at her best.

Splinter Cell Conviction

Splinter Cell Conviction was a pretty good game, but when it started to get really exciting...it ended! The ending was waaaay to easy and scripted. But what makes up for the short 5 hour campaign is the awesome Co-op. Where you and a buddy go in and kick some bad guy ass! The co-op even has its own story, a prequel to the main game. There is only 4 levels, but they take about an hour each. There are also other modes to play alone if you want to. All in all I'm really glad I just rented it. I would of felt a little short changed if I would of paid $60+ for it.

I was reluctant to work out on the Gazelle at first but I'm kind of enjoying it. It really gets blood flowing.

My work out last night.

Kick-Ass

Kick-Ass was freaking awesome! One of the best movies i've seen in a long time. My eyes where glued to the screen every single minute of it.

Today was pretty rad...I'm TIRED!

NIGHT!!

Some Pics

Went to the park with my kid yesterday. There where a lot of teenagers there. Big group. We had a blast.

My mom got a Gazelle for all of us at a yard sale. We had one about 7 years ago. i broke it working out on it. This one is a lot stronger and better.

Liam and his aunt playing Wii Fit

Scary park

Was planning to go for a walk early but Fringe was on, so I had to watch it! Walked out the door at 9:38. The lights in the park where off tonight, so the park was pretty creepy, with a couple of people walking their dogs, there was this one guy who was kind of walking slowly around the park on the phone, think he was fighting with his girlfriend. My walk was fine, I walked faster than I did the night before.

Came home and worked out a little on the Wii Fit.

Fitness Room

I can't wait to see this flick. The comics are awesome. I'm so happy they made it true to it's nature and rated it R.

Took back the Pedometer and upgraded to the Total Fitness Pedometer. It counts everything, calories, steps, even times me, the time stops when I stop and starts right back up again when I start walking. Grabbed a bundle that came with a couple of Dumbbells with some weights for $20, it was a steal! Slowly turning my room into a workout area.

My friend Jason is helping me create a workout routine and an eating schedule. He lost a shit load of weight last year, and spent hours in the gym.

Decided to give my feet a rest today...sort of. So I walked.

Week 1

So I've reached week 1 of my diet. Going to weigh myself tomorrow. I noticed that when I was 20 years old, I dropped weight pretty quick. The first week I lost 10 pounds and ended up losing almost 100 pounds in 5 months. This time around I guess since I'm 27, my metabolism is crap so it will take me a bit longer to shed the pounds. I've ran all of the 7 days, and it's taking a toll. I will rest tomorrow, maybe work on my upper body. I forgot my Pedometer tonight when I went out for a jog, DANG IT. I will be picking up some running shoes next week, these shoes tear my feet up. Also I need to find a softer ground to run on, Dobson High is the closest one I can think of with padding on their track. I need to find out when they close. I haven't felt this good physically in a long time, I'm usually bloated from all the food and soda I use to scarf down.

Today was pretty uneventful. Rented Splinter Cell Conviction. Off the bat an update that was sent out for the game on Xbox live caused the game all over the world to freeze at the beginning of the second chapter. I thought it was my Xbox, but people on twitter where talking about it too. Eventually another update was sent out to correct the problem. The game ain't so far. Got the car washed, stayed with my moms day care kids, while my sister and her went to ASU to interview for a scholarship program.

Taxes

There is a park right down the street from my house. In that park there is a huge field with a jogging path around it. That's where I mostly do my walking and jogging. I ran twice around the field and walked 2 more. I took 6103 steps going 2.88 miles.

My mom hasn't received her taxes back yet, but she got a letter saying that she owed the IRS money. All her information was entered wrong. My mom has her longtime friend do the taxes for her. But not a year goes by that my moms taxes get delayed because something was filled out wrong. My moms friend is a crooked lady who has stolen from us before. But since my mom is a very nice christian she still helps her out, no matter what wrong my moms friend does to her. This year I heard my mom say "I will never use her to do my taxes again"
After my mom spent about an hour on the phone with the IRS, all her information was entered correctly, the problem was fixed. She will receive her returns in 2 to 3 weeks. Better than nothing.

That's a lot of steps....

Walked 4889 steps roughly 2.5 miles, part of that was jogging. Going to return the pedometer i got, and throw in a few extra dollars and get one that will count calories.

Mw2 LAN party was extremely fun.

Great day

Day 5

Down almost 3 pounds. Did some free steps on the Wii board for 30 minutes, then some strength exercise. Got me a Pedometer so I can keep track of my steps when I got out for a jog. I can put the steps into the Wii sports fitness tracker, and it will tell me how many calories I lost. I ate cereal at mid day, with fruit throughout the day when I got cravings. I had cereal for dinner plus some more fruit. I plan on incorporating fish and chicken into my diet very soon. I will set aside when I lose more weight, Saturday or Sunday as a day to eat whatever I want.

So far so good, it's weird not going to the bar or going out to eat as much as I use to. This time I am 100% motivated to lose weight.

Saturday was a pretty chill day. I watched a bunch of X-files. Played some MW2 with my nephew, met some cool and funny people online. Pretty good day.

Day 4

Weighed myself yesterday. Lost 2 pounds. not bad for 3 days of dieting. I'm going to start jogging, since the running program on the Wii doesn't register the steps correctly. But everything else works perfectly. I'm efin sore all over the place.

Day 3

The Following takes place between 12:00 P.M. and 12:00 A.M.

Day 3 of my diet...It sucks ASS!! I'm so use to eating crap almost everyday, and a lot during the night. My body is going trough Detox. Been eating good. Ate a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch, followed by some fruit. For dinner I had a chicken salad, followed by some more fruit. When I started to get hungry later I poured me a bowl of cereal with some bananas.

This was also my third day exercising with the Wii Fit. I did some running to get the blood flowing, and did some strength training. Also did some yoga for the first time ever. I'm pretty freaking sore...also I haven't felt this good in a while, so I guess I'm doing something right.

Finished X-files season 1 started season 2. I love that show.

Wii blowout

It was one of those days that was that started to look shitty. But got home and the first thing my mom said was..GO BUY us A Wii. I picked my sister up from school, and we went to our local Game Stop store. They where having a deal for the price of the Wii, they threw in Wii sports resort and a Wii Motion Plus. We got Just Dance and New Super Mario bros game. Both are fun games. Later i picked up Wii Fit Plus. Man that thing kicked my ass. From hula hoops to jogging I was so very sore. Of course it said I was Obese and in danger of health problems. Also it said I had a body of a 37 year old...So that put some things in perspective. It's pretty cool that it keeps track of your progress and let's you set a goal for yourself. Loving it!

Been re-building my Blu-ray collection again. This time aiming for the titles that are on sale. I picked up Face/Off and X-files Fight the Future for $10 each. The passion of the Christ for $12. Earlier in the week I got The Monster Squad for $8. One exception was Magnolia which I used a gift card, it was $20.

F&^^%(& Farmville

Farmville is a stupid game on Facebook that I swore I would never touch, always made fun of people who played it. Out of curiosity I tried it, at first it seemed boring, Okay i plant crops trees etc. Meh whats so special about this? Then I finally accepted friends requests for Farmville that's been sitting in my inbox for months, thats when the game started to get interesting. I hate to say this but I kind of like it, once you get into it....I have no self control. Soon I'll turn into this crazy chick.

Netflix

So.....Wordpress turned out to be meh...I don't really know why I liked it so much the first time around. But going back to it, it was too much work just to post a blog. Where Blogger, while not as nice or elegant as WP, is quick and easy. So I will for SURE be sticking with Blogger. I have to cancel the service trough go daddy so they can release my domain names so I can put them back on here.

Beat Brother's in Arms: HH. I loved it, a very underrated game. I will be doing a full review of it soon.

I am now able to stream the entire series of X-files, Angel, Buffy, Arrest and development and many more. AWESOME!!!

Picked this up on Blu-ray for $6 bucks! One of my favorite movies growing up

This last weekend i spent with my kid, fun as usual. Took him to the park where we found an injured bird. I need to get back into shape! So I can keep up with him. We also did a Carne Asada the entire weekend, the meat was orgasmic

Xbox Live is having a 50% percent off sale on some of their arcade games. Picked up Pirate Booty, a cool RTS yet challenging. Lumins Live! a Tetris type game.

Hello

Haven't posted here in a bit. Been BUSY. Got lots to post including some movie reviews and a video game review

So happy

Man I am a lucky dude. I'm surrounded by the coolest people, all very positive. Unlike my previous situation where it was just weird group of friends which consisted of 2 people who ended up not really being my friend. I'm can't really express how happy i am that i cut ties with them, If I didn't I would of been miserable.
