This morning, I raised a barn before sun up....

So my work has a beard growing contest going for charity (http://dynedge.com/beard-off-2008.html)

well I had a total scruff shoe bomber beard going and it was bugging the crap out of me. So rather than concede the inevitable defeat, I just trimmed it up and holy shit I know look like I should live in Southern Pennsylvania.



















I suddenly have the urge to make things out of wood.

Let it Glow! Let it Glow! Let it Glow!

Its Christmas time and so that means the the West family Casa is full blown FELIZ NAVIDAD'ED

I've always liked Christmas but now with the little ones the magic is back more than before and I have my own pad to decorate. I will always light up my house for the month of December for the holidays. It sucks that especially now with everyone price conscious that you don't see neighborhoods lit up with lights. I enjoy going with the family on nights in December and cruising around neighborhoods to see lights. (We just did it Sunday) and that brings me to today's rant on the new trend in holiday lighting. LEDs.

I fucking HATE these lights, yes I know they are energy efficient but fuck them right in their little stupid LED faces.

A house should GLOW with Christmas Lights

Good House (Mine of course)







Look at that shit glow with epic Griswaldian C9 lights.
(yes I know a lot of people hate the blowups but fuck you my daughter likes it so breathe a dick.)






Now compare that to this example of a shit hole LED house:


Wow Nice lights...You look like a convenience store or a bowling alley.
(ps. BLUE IS NOT A CHRISTMAS COLOR...FUCK OFF BLUE, you are not welcome in strands, only sparingly in a multi lit set.)






As you can see these lights sucks as much as they shine, with the intensity of a thousand suns. I mean that house looks like something from Tron, not a festive glowing house of Christmas Cheer.
You might as well string up EAT AT JOE'S on your roof rather than Merry Christmas.

Fuck You LEDs

Out F***ING STANDING!

I love FPS Gaming, I've been Playing them for over 10 years now (My first was Delta Force 2)

I played the hell out of all the DF series with various friends until Medal of Honor was released This opened me up to the world of WWII FPS and I wasted MANY Hours playing that and its sequels, then it was on to Call of Duty and MANY MORE Hours of playing with that. After awhile it grew thin and I moved on to Battlefield 2 with some friends. This was extremely fun but then the group I played with moved to COD2 at this point I was pretty tired of WWII games. I eventually bought the game and played it for about 3 weeks and was super pissed. It was like the same damn game as the original just prettier.

Enter 2006 and I bought an XBOX 360, November rolls around and COD4 gets released and Holy shit this is hands down the best FPS game Ive ever played. Its been a year and I still have played the shit out of this with buddies logged tons of time and still love. Alas all good things must come to a close. Today Call of Duty: World at War was released and though after COD2 I VOWED I would never buy another WWII game. I never even intended on buying this, but I started watching videos and seeing game play and my interest peeked and peeked.

Last week I downloaded the Beta MP demo and HOLY SHIT this was some major fun. It only had 3 maps but we played the shit out of it. I can't wait to get home and throw in this game that is mocking me sitting here on my desk at work.

If you wanna bake a pretty cake

YA gotta do the cooking by the book!



BRILLIANT!

RAGE BUILDING

what an asshole of a parent, I hope this video gets somewhere and they take this guys kid away. I don't give a shit if he's smiling at the end its probably from the brain damage of his brain sloshing around

Thanks a lot JERK!

So my wife recently put me on to google's RSS reader site
http://www.google.com/reader

and HOLY CRAP! I am addicted (not so much as my wife who is probably reading this post RIGHT NOW. GET BACK TO WORK!..lol )

It makes browsing the webs a lot more convenient and efficient no more pesky clicking bookmarks and "surfing" from site to site, I now have it refreshed and updated with pretty much every site's RSS feed that I visit. The interface is very intuitive (such as marking an article read as you scroll thru it) and all in all makes it a quick and easy way to check out the sites. Plus its not just some shitty blurp, its the actual pretty much full article you would see on the site, then you can click to it if there is more after the "jump"

I even added a "subscribe" link on my bookmark toolbar in firefox so that if I am on a new site I like, I can just click that and it will add it to my reader

I'm sure there are a ton more features that I will be sure to play around with to make it even better. Be sure to check it out!

BLOOP!

Yes tonight I am embarrassed to admit I went achievement whoring on my xbox 360. Now if you are unaware, the Achievement system is a system setup for all 360 games where you receive them for completing certain tasks in games. Some simple (YOU TURNED ON THE GAME!) to ridiculously hard(beat the hardest fucking song ever on 100% on extreme rape difficulty in Guitar Hero III)

Now Its always nice to hear the trademark ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED sound heard here (BLOOP)

But it was never something I sat down and said "I am getting these tonight." Not anymore.

I was talking with my buddy Dan and he said after I had told him I got 2 achievements and 75 pts in a baseball game that he needed to stay way ahead of me so he worked extra hard today and got another achievement. I told him you know what I'm whoring tonight. It was the 1st time I went to play just to get achievements and not just have fun.

I fired up my old football game, put it on rookie tard master level and got to work. 1st up, some passing and scoring achievements. I hit the field as Tom "Jesus" Brady and unleashed play action pass after play action pass to Randy Moss. It was so rediculously easy.

Complete a 90 Yd pass, BLOOP! 30 pts
then thru the course of the game which I ended up winning 105-10 (I gave them a TD to get the ball back) BLOOP, BLOOP, BLOOP, BLOOP
Score 84 pts in a 5 min quarter game
throw for 500 yds passing
have 650 yds of offense
(Brady was 18-21 for 701 yds and 10 TDS...lol)
Bam game over and 160 pts in my hand

Now its time to get a couple more out of the way for running. new game, this time Im unleashing reggie bush.

I needed the 100% pass completion in a game one so I threw a quick dump pass right away, never to pass again in the game...1-1 11 yds passing

next I needed 40 rushing attempts in a game by 1 player. I fed the defense a healthy dose of Bush(LOL) and got the 40 attempts.

I had tried getting the average 20 yds rushing in a game with 3 backs but kept getting stopped short. Closest I had was a guy 3 carries for 19 yds, Yawn not even close. oh well 2 isnt bad. they score a late td with 7 seconds left and kick the ball to me, I run out of bounds at the 7 and run 1 last play with the back..Oh man I got a block, broken tackle! HE....COULD....GO...ALLL.THE.....WAYYYYYYYY YAYYYYYYYYYY 93 YD RUNNING TD AT THE END AND IT GAVE MY GUY A 22 YDS PER CARRY AVERAGE 1 MORE 25 PT ACHIEVEMENT!!!!!!!!

So I now only have 2 achievements left in that game but for the night I grabbed 8 achievements and 225 pts....not a bad night for a dirty achievement whore
