Hello ALL! well, the wait is over! wait what? you weren't waiting for the 150 blog ~!Fiesta!~? you didn't know about it? I see....hmm....well, you're here now so sit back and enjoy.

Alot has been going since I last blogged. My cat has escaped the "care" of his catsitter and to make a long story short: my wife and I have seen our cat! we were driving around the area that some local folks have spotted him in and as we drove around the corner LO AND BEHOLD our cat was just casually walking the sidewalk. Yep, it was definetely him! but, I couldn't catch him I tried to coax him with some chicken but, he wasn't having it. So, the ASPCA is going to be setting traps in an effort to catch him. We'd be out there more often but, with the drive being an hour or so away is just too hard on us:/ not to mention wear and tear on the car and gas money. Stay tuned.....

I've been playing Fallout 3: Game Of The Year Edition Mon-Fri! I am so ADDICTED to this game! what do I like about it? the vast wasteland of what used to be Washington D.C., the fact that it's got that Bioshock-vibe to it, the V.A.T.S. targeting system (BOOM! headshot! all in slow-mo gory I mean, ahem, glory) I love the perk system to boost your character, the ability to be a bad guy or good guy through various actions and dialogue choices, and just the absolute freedom to do whatever you want. Right now I have a dog named dogmeat as my sidekick and he kicks major butt! if you haven't played this game yet (this is my first go with it myself as I didn't play the regular version) GO BUY IT! I'm looking at you Gedo:p trust me it's more than just an RPG. It's got alot of action and trust me once you have a shotgun and you're close up on an enemy, enter VATS, target the head, and blow it clean off you'll be like "whoa"

So, as far as jobs go I applied to Geico and I'm still awaiting word on that and Macy's is needing some holiday help so in order to get some $ flowing I've got an interview with them next week. I am really praying that Geico comes through! the company is unbelievably good, the benifits and pay are out of this world! It would just be a really great thing to be able to take care of my family and friends financially and with this job I'd be able to do it. Other than that not much else has gone on with the job situation. I am still hunting. I really do hope to be working before the end of the year!

Video games: well, besides Fallout 3: gotye I've gotta say the Brutal Legend game is looking pretty good. I saw the review and thought "hmm" but, I'll wait until the price drops. Right now I have my sights set on Bioshock 2: Sea Of Dreams, Heavy Rain, Castlevania: Lord Of Shadows,FinalFantasy XIII, Tekken6,God Of War III, and Gran Turismo 5, (just to name a few) also, I have to say that Batman: Arkham Asylum is on the list as well. I had my doubts about both Brutal Legend and Batman: AA but, they've eased my doubts. I'll be blogging a list of games to watch out for the PS3in the next blog.

Movies: I can't wait to see District 9 (yes, I know it's only been out for a loooong time now) and 2012! still want to see Ponyo as well but, without a job seeing movies is not really in the budget. Well, unless I BEG my wife to go see 2012 (if there is ONE movie I really wanna see THIS one is it!)

Music: heh, not much on this either. I haven't really bought any new CDs (yeah, I'm still stuck in the past) but, I've added a few new songs on my projectplaylist (DJ CERBERUS is my name) besides having alot of Castlevania (I love all their soundtracks) I have some Final Fantasy on there, Super Mario Bros., The Legend Of Zelda, Super Metroid, Mega Man, Streets Of Rage (Yuzo Koshiro is one of the BEST!) and Sonic The Hedgehog. I've added a few other songs as well (I have 200 which is the MAX!) but, it's about all I've been listening to lately.

Random thoughts: the boy and his balloon all I can say is it must have been a slow news day and it turned out to be hoax because the family isn't satified that their 15 minutes are up:/ it was all so ridiculous. I quit the NFL union just for the simple fact that I'm tired of being given a hard time about who I pick. The topic was top ten QBs of 2009 and after I made MY top ten list a few individuals had a fit! here is what I'm about: you like what you like and I like what I like and maybe we agree and maybe we disagree but, I will NOT slam you for what you choose! and if we happen to like the same thing well, then that's great! what else? I truly believe we are living in the end times. I LOVE watching CNN but, the news is downright depressing. alot of people out in the world have lost their mind! I've been watching a new show called"Modern Family" and it is hilarious. Good show! of course I've been watching Gordon Ramsay's "Kitchen Nightmares" as well. It's October and it's a perfect time to watch "The Scariest Places On Earth"

Also been watching the infomerical on the "Dean Martin Variety Show" and I would LOVE to have that in my collection (if you want to see funny clips go to youtube(one that's funny is the Dean Martin/Foster Brooks-airline pilot sketch) I already have all the Dean Martin Roasts and they're excellent!

I can't wait until we have our own place! if you're not up to speed: my own "mother" kicked me and my wife out (read: evicted us) for no good reason. Everything was fine and then my wife showed up and all HADES broke loose. So, without warning we became public enemy #1 (since our departure we've endured financialstuggleon and epic scale, a long commute, and a lost cat)but, thankfully my wife's best friend welcomed us and we've been here ever since. This woman is an angel and I truly appreciate and thank her for what she's done for my family. There is nothing I wouldn't do for this woman as I owe her so much. I have no TV (other than my stepson's Vizio) to play PS3 on, no DVD player to watch movies, but, we have a roof over our heads, food and drink on the table, and clothes on our back. I count my blessings and don't worry about the other things. I just feel like I'm imposing but, she loves having us all here.

Other than all this not much else going on. But, I figure this is ENOUGH going on lol. I hope all is well with everyone and I look forward to hearing from you all!

take care and enjoy the video game you're playing.

God Bless.

@Gohansephiroth: An entire IPOD full of video game music = WIN! I love video game music and I have alot of it on my playlist at project playlist. Alot of video game music just stands the test of time and the moment you hear a certain tune it takes you back in time the nostalgia is wonderful.

@megamannt123: YES! it was quite a fiesta no? I wish I put some pics up too but oh well and Geico starts off at $16.00-$17.00 an hr.
