In the past, whenever I did get sick (once every 2-3 years), what I would look forward to is popping some Nyquil and feeling real good before passing out in bed.  Fast forward to now, and a few days ago I got the chance to take some Nyquil gel caps.  Being that it's been a while since last having some, I figured I would go with just half the recommended dosage, just 1 capsule.  I woke up the next morning with swollen, sensitive, red lips and my tongue was the same way too.  I've had that reaction to a sleep aid pill before so I knew what happened.  I went over to the box and looked at the active ingredients.  Sure enough the culprit, doxylamine succinate was on the list.  I thought Nyquil used a different ingredient before but it doesn't matter now.  The ironic part is the ingredient I am allergic to is the antihistamine!!  How can I be allergic to the ingredient that's supposed to be preventing allergies?  Rayne fail.  So now that there is absolutely no upside to getting sick, I better figure out a way to never catch anything again...lol.

I was on earlier and playing MW2 when the TV went out. At first I'm thinking it's the power in the house bacause of the friendly storm we've had in NJ for the past 3 days. Then I notice the three red slashes on the console....but.... green power light is still up instead of it being red. Have I somehow sidestepped the RRoD? Let the console "cool down" and tried it again 2 hours later. On XBL with xxDr. Killingerxx and everything seems to be fine (I still suck at this game though). For awhile I thought Pork Chop Platoon was going to be without me for 3-4 weeks. Perish the thought.

Has anyone treid to sign on to XBL from their computer? I haven't been able to get on in a few days.

..........oh and the 3 new maps for MW2 are going to be 1200 MS pts Complete and utter BS..

Hey, it's about time for the ol' whatsisname to blog. Yeah, King Of Twang, that's me. Anyway, I've hit the gaming paydirt - a really good friend was just visiting from out of town, and he brought down some XBOX titles that he was thinning down. How lucky am I? He gave me a copy of Orange Box and both Halo 2 and 3, among a couple others. I really want to add all the Halo titles to my collection, except for Halo Wars. I also would like to downlaod the original Halo so I can get up to speed on the story in order.  I don't know anything about Orange Box, but I've heard Half-Life is quite cool, and Portal looks interesting. Still on my coin-op kick and having a great time playing short games of Bankshot Billiards when there are matches to be had. Would love to go heads up on some Battlezone as well.

Having a great time on Battlefield: Bad Company! Getting much better at this, ranking up regularly and getting all my unlocks, Smithcraft jumped in there last week and we had a great time. SXSW starts in Austin this week, so won't have too much time on XBL, but should be back to semi-regular sessions next week.

See ya on the XBL!

So I entered my doggy in a online "top dog" contest on a local radio station.

Hey, if you think she's cute, throw us a vote,  Prizes are all gift cards for vets and it would come in handy certainly.

Please read this. It is quite interesting and will put some of this administration's mindset in perspective.

I really liked the first Crackdown. Truth be told I only got it for the H3 beta, but then I actually played it and it was a lot of fun.

Below is a little bit on the game..

So my birthday is comeing up and xbox i guess is giving me a presant. April 15th is the date i guess and I want unlimited friends lists!!! it better happen or ill idk think of something/

SO newest update. I AM TIRED AS FUCK WITH PEOPLE LIEING TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Namely the Army. After a year of always standing up for my leadership and backing them up I realized they are just talking out there ass. This is the first unit ive been with that has done this. leaders just bold face lieing to soldiers is morale crushing and not professional. IM tired not physically but mentally tired of all this 11 years 4 active and 2 tours in the reserves has worn me out.  Belive when i say in 11 years the army has changed to CANDY ASS.

anyway cant wait to game with my friends
