Well... where to begin... long time no see I guess... I apologize for the lack of posting. I guess I just haven't been motavated to post lately. Well since I'm finally blogging I should probably cover all the stuff thats been happening lately.

First off I haven't been gaming much lately and there are a few reasons for this. First off my Xbox 360 broke I don't know what exactly cause it to brake, but one day it just started showing the 3 red rings of death. So I need to send it in and get it fixed. Secondly I don't have a Wii sensor bar so that makes playing the Wii very diffacult. So I've pretty much been reduced to playing my PS2. Which is both a blessing and a curse. I am actually spending some time with it but I can't play my 360 or Wii...

I also have been watching a lot of movies lately. My local Hollywood video has a deal for 79 cent rentals on older movies. So I've been getting a ton of movies. So far I've rented: Spaceballs, High Anxiety, Young Frankenstine, Wayne's World, and A Knights Tale.

And of course music takes up a lot of my time. I finally got a new drum kit cause I had to return my old rental so I've been practicing a lot lately. Then theres the whole aspect of listening to music I've bought quite a few new cds lately. I bought: "Full Moon Fever" - Tom Petty, Viva la Vida - Coldplay, Street Survivors - Lynyrd Skynyrd, Southern Weather - The Almost, Who's Next - The Who, Weezer (Red Album) - Weezer, and Fight With Tools - Flobots.

And lastly I've been hanging out with friends, playing sports, actually excersing, and just relaxing to the max. So thats all for now... I promise you'll get at least one more blog from me before the school year... NOT... jk I promise I will blog one more time... for real...

Well as some of you may have noticed as of lately I have been going on this site less often. This is because I'm somewhat over this site. I feel its definitely going down the drain since all the good editors left. But I will still try to get on every now and then and post a blog or check in on some of my unions.

As far as what I've been doing lately I recently bought a new TV. I got a 27 inch TV for $40 at a garage sale! Its in great condition and works perfectly so I'm really excited about it. So because of that I will probably be doing a video blog showing you my room once I have time to clean it up. The Vlog will cover my room and gaming and music collections.

As far as gaming goes I have been playing a variety of games lately. I've been playing PGR4 quite a bit, the occasional Halo 3 match, and of course Rock Band & Guitar Hero. Along with those I have decided to go back an actually complete Halo 2 since I never did that. I also have been playing some Nintendo 64. I started a season on Kobe Bryant's NBA Courtside which is a decent game. Also I am going to put my complete summer gaming list on my profile. So thats all for now I will try to post another blog soon, but I am not promising anything.

Let me start this blog off by saying that dogs truly are the greatest pet ever. They are kind, compassionate, and are always there for you. Sadly my dog passed away this morning and the blow is definetely one that will sting for quite a while. Though I did not play with my dog Taffy a ton I always enjoyed the time spent with her and it always cheered me up when I would go out and play with her.

Then this morning I woke up and knew something was wrong. I stumbled out to my living room half awake as I do every morning expecting to see Taffy laying on her bed, but instead I walked outside and found her laying on the wet grass not moving. She wasn't asleep and she didn't really look sick just kinda depressed.

So I went off to school and my sister and dad left for work and thats when the bad news began. When I left for school I thought "Oh taffys just depressed. Or she just ate something and her stomach hurts." Sadly that wasn't the case and during second period I received the terrible new via text mesage. "We have to put Taffy to sleep..." Yeah... That news was just kinda shocking... I didn't expect for my dog to die this soon... I always thought she was gonna die of old age...

Luckily I was able to call my mom suring class thanks to a nice teacher. And when I called my mom I heard the full story. Apparently her stomach was overgrown and it burst causing blood to flow into her stomach... So she was in a ton of pain and very pitiful so they were forced to put her to sleep...

And now I'm sitting here looking out the window starring at her empty dog bed... Wishing she was in that bed...
