The Xbox Generation

The Original Xbox. Super bulky, super annoying to move around. It was first designed as a console aimed towards adults. Oh how I miss the white and black buttons.... I remember the white button was to speak on Xbox live. If you had small hands, that was pretty much impossible unless you had 3 hands. The first controllers were not greatly designed. And the console was more like a brick than a box.
The Xbox 360. A huge upgrade from the original Xbox. The clean white look made it look awesome. The Xbox button in the middle of the controller was a great addition. Before the console came out I kept wondering what the middle button would be able to do. I kept telling myself "maybe its the ultimate attack button where you can only press it when you get the nuke in Modern Warfare!"The Xbox Elite. The console reformatted to end the deadly "Red Ring" curse all Xbox owners are afraid to see. The 120gb harddrive made it much easier to save multiple games without the concern for harddrive space. You can debate whether the white or black looked better but in my opinion they both look sharp.Some call it the Slim, some call it the stealthbox, and other just call it the "new" xbox 360. What ever you call it, its another upgrade. Super quiet with only 1 fan. I can finally hear myself swear on Modern Warfare! I like the nice chrome touch just because I like shinny things. 250gb harddrive. I probably don't need that much space but its always nice to have. It costs just $299 so its the same as the Elite before.

The Xbox systems pretty much brought me up as a kid. I would play it for hours and it is probably the reason why I did terrible in grade school. I love it.

Earthquake!

For those who missed the earthquake today, its okay it wasn't much. Just imagine if Hao Ming was shaking his leg beside you. That's what it felt like to me. If Canny was here at my work he would shout out "Hao Ming stop shaking your *explicit* leg!!!"

A co-worker just told we he was in the washroom when this happened... Poor guy. (I laughed really loud when he told me)

Weekends - Team Punishment

I find I get more accomplished during the weekends because that's the only time I can go out with friends. On Friday I was planning to go straight home after work but Jaime Vincent and Christian called me out to go watch the Jays game that night. We walked around Queen St until the game and it was pretty fun hanging out with my old elementary school friends. We went to so many stores but my favourite would have to be the place with all the Supra shoes. I wanted a purple pair of Supras so badly but it costs $160!! Too much for me ><. The Jays game was decent. Our seats were high up but right behind home plate so we had a good view. After the game we walked around downtown until 12am. I'm sure we would have stayed longer but I wasn't 19 so we couldn't get into any clubs. Sorry guys, just another week and a half! When we Go bussed back to Unionville I had 2 choices, either crash over at Jaime's house or jog back home at night. I jogged... but it wasn't raining so I'm grateful for that.
Saturday was a bit of a fail. I suited up for dinner. Go a text from Eva saying dinner was canceled. Then I suited down >__<. With something bad, comes something good. Since Eva's dinner didn't work out we went to Gary Chan's place to drink and party a bit.
He said it was a late bday thing for Canny and an early bday thing for me but it was more to just hang out with friends. Plus, beer pong is always fun. "1, 2, 3... PUNISHMENT!" - Team Punishment
You can't tell from this photo but Jonathan had a lot of fun. And as you can tell from this photo Matthew did have a lot of fun.

I barely slept that night because I got back home at 8am. But Jonathan got it worse. He had work at 10am. That's why Jonathan, you are the BAMF of the day. I would have just called in sick but you took it like a man and went to work.
Its the J-R-E-Y-E-Z (I'm so lame...)
Also. Met up with J. Reyez on Saturday too. Right before going to Gary's house.

Sunday we went to visit Bak Gong and Gong Gong. Christine was still in Waterloo so our entire family still hasn't gone to visit Gong Gong together >_> She's always too busy! Well, the rest of the kids made dinner on Father's day (Mostly Marianna).
You're only as good as you're tools

I slept very little this weekend and I'm at work right now (I'm very tired). I think I will try logging each of my weekends this summer. Boring or not I'll try doing it each week. Sorry if some of my weekend are boring in advance!!

"Drill Baby Drill!"

Move over George Bush, there's a new republican embarrassment in town. Well, she's not exactly new, but I think her recent events just reveals how retarded she actually is. Sarah Palin was blaming the Obama government for using the oil spill to raise energy prices. Yes, that is true I agree with her, for once... But then she gets asked what she would do to stop the BP oil spill, and she said "nothing, absolutely nothing." Really Sarah?? Is thats your final answer? Then later she goes on Twitter and tweets "'Drill, baby, drill' now made more sense than ever." Oh God.... some one put a cork in her mouth!

Sarah Palin is worse than the fat kid who gets picked last in gym class. At least that kid can kick a simple ball in the right direction. Sarah Palin is just causing damage to her own image and the reputation of the republicans that its like shes scoring into her own net. Oh well, its not like I mind it. Sometimes watching the fat kid in gym class play ball is funny.
