well, once again my wife knows the way to wake me up on a Saturday "Wake up, I want to play Gears of War" .....ok, so we ran throught Hardcore on both Gears 1 and 2, in 2 days...I got all our Christmas shopping done....and we managed to get out of one screaming kid filled Christmas party....and played more Gears....but on top of all that, we wrapped up a full 1000/1000 in Fallout, got 200/200 on the Doritos game (in about 5 min.) and I made it to the final mission in COD WaW Veteran level on Solo...so all together that puts my Gamer Score at 62,035....not bad, not bad at all....

Now that I'm back at work, my co workers are trying to (once again) convince me that the reason I'm not a big fan of christmas is because we don't have kids...now I understand their arguement...the joy of watching a kid opening a special present that they will remember for the rest of their lives....but we don't have kids...we are not ready to have kids...I'm not the type of person who makes a good Parent...I refer you back to my cousin's birthday party(5....maybe 6....heck she could be 10 years old, I don't know...she's one of 38 cousins, and I can't remember some of their names let alone how old they are....wow that makes me sound like a horrible person...trust me I'm not....well...not completly) where she walked over to the cake, and picked up the 10 inch knife from the table and started to swing it around....I (full of concern for the well being of others) turned to my wife and said, wow, she has a knife....someone should do something.....and I continued to watch.....(ok, I know that doesn't help the whole "I'm a horrible person" immage...but really, I'm not that bad....I'll think of something to back up that claim eventually...)....but back to my co-workers....they have started to ask very personal questions concerning why we've been married for 2 years and still don't have any kids....and they say that "We don't want kids now" is just an excuse for other "issues"...this is almost as bad as my family asking that question...almost because I can really mess with my co-workers in ways I can't when it's my family....so the next time they ask I'll tell them the reason is "because we aren't praying hard enough to our dark idol of fertility, that we will have kids when Marathunk decides we are worthy of recieving his first born, but it's not that easy to get 5 gallons of virgin hobo blood for a sacrifice"......or maybe...."I don't get it, I kiss her on the cheek every night, and we both say a prayer, but it doesn't seem to work"..... oh, I can have fun with this...."We can't, because one day, many a year ago, I was walking down a dark path, and came across an old gypse woman who was begging for a gold coin to feed her family, but I didn't want her near me so I kicked her aside and told her to run before I called the guards,...that day she cursed me that my first born child would bring the destruciton of this world...that was almost 300 years ago, and ever since I have lived under that curse...forever to wander this earth childless"....that one might actually get me locked up for a case of the crazies..

But anyway....a good friend of mine(and she's a Gamer) has returned to work after 6 months of working for another agency....so we will have alot of catching up to do....

Catching up on gaming with another gamer is always great.

not having kids isnt the end of the world.. I wish my wife and i would have waited a few years before we had our kid. We could have had some time to enjoy each other and not worry about my daughter and struggle.... Trust me.. you are not doing anything wrong. i admire people who wait to have kids and wait to get married..
