I am an avid player of many different types of computer games. FPS, MMO, simulations, strategy, board games, sports games, etc...
Now I find myself playing to many MMOs: Runescape, World of Warcraft, Fiesta, and Rappelz. This is way to many online games to keep the commands, and key maps correct for each game. It is sometimes funny, and frustrating at the same time. In Wow, I'm selecting to target something, but the wrong keys, and I'm casting a spell. LOL
Just got Tiger Woods 2008 golf game off of Ebay for less than five dollars, with shipping, this is a great value and a super game! I don't really care for the new swing methods, I use the old three click method! The new swing methods, use the mouse sliding in some wacko way, to the side, and then hold the left button, change the direction, and hold the other mouse button, Gees. It is worse then trying to really play golf. EA sports epic fail!
Also, a while back got Oblivion, with all the expansions, yet another great Ebay snag! So it waits on the shelf waiting, the best game to come out in years. Stuck in the waiting place.
As a side note I must mention that Bethesda Software is using the Oblivion game engine in possibly the greatest game project ever, Fallout 3. In you have not played the Fallout series of games, you are far from Elite, and would this be the worst Epic Fail in your sorry "%^#@" gaming history. Minus -500 points, and demotion to a complete and utter choob! Redemption is close at hand, go out and buy Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics. Complete then all to, and learn to pwd in a single player game with no cheats. Meet you at Alpha base, bring extra stim packs your going to need them, friendly fire from an avenger mini gun, really tears it up. BTW, Welcome to the Brotherhood of Steel!

Money, or note? That is the Question.
In most modern countries, money comes in the form of coins and printed bills. Most of us have come accustom to considering these coin and bills as money, and of having a true value. While this might seem to be true, and to some extent it is, but money in really just a note.
Hmmm, you might think a note? What does that really mean? A note is a piece of paper or coin that can be commonly traded for goods, and services. The big problem with this note, is that it has no true value.
What, what, does the mean? It simple means that that piece of paper or coin could one day become just what it is, paper or metal coin. It could one day just be come worthless. After all it is just a note, take a look at any printed US dollar, and you will see that it is called a note, and is used as legal tender.The value of this note, changes every single day.
If the US needs to have some more money in circulation they just print more, and as a result, it lowers the value of all of our notes. This even includes the notes we have invested in, even those notes we have sitting in the bank, and of course in our pockets.What caused all of this note madness you might be wondering? Well that is for another day.

Cancer and peaches...
It has happened in my family again, cancer has reached out. This time it picked my sister, which is not really fair at all. My sister has so much already to deal with. Her three girls, and a mental ex husband should have been enough for fate to pass over her. She doesn't need cancer, she needs a nanny to help her. She is braver than she will ever give herself credit for being. The words cancer and fate are often used in the same sentence, to talk about the ones we love.
I love my sister, and I hate to talk about her as having cancer, she didn't want it. Cancer picked her, and fate can go fuck itself. I'm so weary from bad things striking the best people. Yeah, the best! My sister is one of the best people, I have the honor of knowing, and as I write this she is going through one of worst things to ever happen to her. I guess that could be debated since her ex husband is who he is.
Never the less, she has cancer, and I have to stop comparing what she is going through to what our mother went through. You see our mother died almost 15 years ago, it was cancer that took her too. It all started in much the same way for our mother, as it is starting for my sister.
I don't pray often at all, but the one thing I pray for is that my sister will not have to fight cancer off and on for years. I can only pray and hope that this will pass, without my sister asking for fresh peaches as she struggles to stay alive. Peaches were the last food my mother ate, before she lost her fight with cancer and fate.

Toast and crackers.
If you suffer from GERD, then you know, what a "toast and cracker" day is all about. The only real difference is when can you eat the damn things? Now, in an hour, in four hours? What kinda day is that to look forward to? Where your only hope is a wondrous dinner of toast, with crackers on the side.
A few things still remain in the way, being stuck on the throne, to weak to make it to the kitchen, and of course needing to sleep. I might add more to this later, but for now it's back to rest...

Power and misdrection!
This morning the power went out, sometime before the alarm clock was set to wake me up for an important day in court, before a mediator for the Friend of the Court. Well, I got a late start and hurried out the door, and then took a slow route to get to the I-696 freeway as all the on ramps are closed for miles heading west. This seems to happen ever year in Michigan, this year the reason is bridge repair, more than likely they really need to fix the crumbling things.
So, I'm driving and about 10 minutes or so away from there, and I take a right down the road and drive for a bit, after about 5 minutes or so, I realize I'm on Orchard lake road, and not on Elizabeth lake road. Dam, so I turn left, and go down Cass lake road, drive around the lake, and think man this is out of my way. I take a quick right, and start going in the right direction....NOT! So, I try to call the court, and I am on hold for like 10 minutes, so I hang up. Finally, I'm now 15 minutes late and I pull over for directions. She says, "Go three miles the other way, and take some crazy street name for one mile". After that I'm on Telegraph and heading in the right direction, Not! I turn around and then pass right by the road, can't find it. FFS, I am lost in area that I have been to over 30 times. Turn around go about 3 miles and there's my turn off. Finally Elizabeth Lake road, and between the turns I try to call the Court again, and of course get hold again. I hang up as I pull in to the parking lot! Go inside and wait to speak to the court assistant. She tells me, "no big deal, you have to be here next week at 1:30pm, same day of the week." I just hope next week is not the power outage, and misdirected day that today was! I just hope!
