CMA's blog

So I don't want to write a long detailed whine fest blog. So here are the basics.

I own 2 360s. Both of them broke last week.

I own 2 vehicles. One broke down last week and one today. So currently neither are running.

I just spent the holiday re-roofing my house so all our assets were poured out for that job.  It took 2x longer than it should have to finish that job.

In 2 weeks I have to leave my 20 month old daughter for 2 weeks while my wife and I are in Africa.

Life is difficult.

I hate the number 2.

The end.

So every gamer has these times where RL takes back over. Right now is one of those times for me.  Without anything being said by the wife or any external pressures the other night I moved my 360 from my gaming room to my bedroom.  Which only means one thing, it is now a media center and not a gaming console.  I still enjoy playing halo, but in the next three months of my life I just don't see any room to play much, or at all.

Hey Everybody,

Just found an awesome new tool (new to me) to help protect where on the internet people in my house can go.  OpenDNS.com

It is free and works like an external internet filter.  You can set what it does and doesn't block by category or by website. It also can keep track of what websites are visited when.  If you have kids in the house I highly recommend getting this set up.  Because this way it doesn't matter what computer they use and it isn't software that you can shut off.

You didn't like my avatar, so I changed it. I hope you like it better now.

If it doesn't look different wait till the end.

So Q hooked me up with a deal on his trittons AX Pro's. I have had the AX 360s for a long time and loved them, but they simulated bass through vibration. These bad dads have true bass. So the game sounds deeper than it used to. Q had the original packaging and did a great job of putting everything in it's place so it was real easy to get it set up. I actually think this set is more comfortable than my old set of trittons. The others were tighter. Plus now I don't have to hang a xbox microphone around my neck when I play. Here are a few pics:

So last night I had one of those fatherhood moments that reduce a tough guy to a little pool of drively mush. I don't know if I can convey this properly or even if a non-parent could really grasp it. So here we go, it was really a simple occurrence but somehow it just really hit me. It was about 8:40pm and my daughter Ella was just exhausted, she was totally done and wanted to let everyone know. Church stuff went a bit late Wednesday night and since she is usually in bed by 7:00pm by 8:00pm she was not happy about being awake. If I tried to set her down, she would freak out.
