So what up with I in the recent weeks. Not much really. I've been going t school, studying really hard. I don't think I put this much effort into school since 8th grade, when I actually wanted to get good grades. I found an interest in math; I'm still debating if I like it more that literature but it feels like the Bush-Gore election. I like reading old stories and learning about history. However, when I'm doing math problems, it feels fast pace and exhilarating – weird huh? Whatever homework I'm given, I do it almost immediately and then some. I'm a take a couple of more math c l a s s throughout the semesters, if it something I'm really interested in, I think and will ultimately know what I want to do with my life --finally.

For a time, I wanted to stop playing games completely. I wanted to pack both my consoles, give my TV to my moms and just have my bed and my alarm clock. But next day I woke up and saw my babies so clean and shiny that I could not give them away. I was so happy to see them, that I purchased Dead Space later that afternoon. Since I'm talking about games, let's talk about Dead Space. I'm not a horror fan, the only game I had under that genre was Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Director's cut. First and foremost, it's not my game; it's a friend of mines. I just forgot to give it back. Secondly, I never finished the freaking game. I had to use a special camera to kill the ghost while I looked for my best friend or sister, don't remember. I got as far as the first boss battle before I gave up. Killing ghost with a camera doesn't do it for me, call me weird.

Ok know that we all know how much I know about the Horror genre, let continue. Dead Space is a F@#$%^ scary game. Every time I walk I think there is someone behind me, but then I stop and it's only the echo of the sound I'm making. You might have read or heard that his game has great sound. Unfortunately, you won't know until you are in your room with the lights out and a freaking baby with tentacles comes at you from a glass case – and it's like 3am. That right, babies with tentacles that shoot bone bullets at you. This game has too many creepy moments. From the ships staff killing themselves to me never knowing where the freaking monsters are coming from. Seriously, the only reason I know that there is some in the room with me, it's because the music is going crazy and the lights go out. I hate it when the lights go out, especially in a narrow corridor or small rooms. In a way I'm thankful for the tense music; it gets me on my toes and I'm trigger happy. I've only gotten to chapter 2 out of 12 so I still have my ways to go. I'll definitely have my review up when I'm done. I've also posted a review of Battle Filed: Bad Company, so if you're interested, scroll down and give it a read.

That's it for now.

Peace.

Listening to: Ludwig Van Beethoven – Piano Concerto No. 5 In E Flat Major ("Emperor"), Op. 73: I. Allegro

Well, I started my Math ****on Thursday, not to thrill about it. It felt too much like a high school **** The other students are too childish, but whatever, I'll get over it. Just do the work and pay attention.

The thing with this ****in particular was that I blazed right before I went to **** not because I wanted, but because I forgot that the ****started that day. I remembered after I smoked, which was surprising to say the least. Men was it weird, I remembered that I had to go to ****like 5 minutes before it started. Obviously, I was 15 minutes late and when coming in, all this people looking at me like I'm an alien. I stopped in the middle of the ****and looked at myself and asked do I have something on my face? In my head, I'm like what?!?! Nobody said anything, the teacher just asked for my last name, which I hate saying in English, I just told her it starts with a P and my name was Daniel. I went to the bathroom, and my eyes were red as hell (I guess that what they were looking at, have to wear shades next time )

Next Tuesday, I have a test on The Book of Job, the Iliad and Agamemnon (sort of a side story to the Odyssey). I'm reading everything again just to review it, I should be fine. Just a warning, don't read Agamemnon, unless you really like poetry or you have to, that book is really annoying.

And weird thing that just recently happened, I got into ****cal music. Back when I was in my English **** this kid did a research paper on how music can affect the performance of an athlete when he/she is on the field. Well, according to research, ****cal music will be more beneficiary to the athlete, than when listening to any other kind of music; especially music that has a beat like the "we will rock you" song, he said something about your muscles not able to relax. Anyways, I agree, while I haven't done it with any sport, when I read, I feel way more relaxed and my body is more comfortable.

I mean, somebody that looked this crazy had to made good music right?

Listening to: The Notorious BIG – Big Poppa

Ok, I didn't really say much about the purchase of my car. It pretty hectic right now. My credit, while in good condition is fairly new, so when I attempted to get the loan, I got rejected because of the same reason. I need it to have a bigger down payment for them to approve it, so we decided not to get the car. We went home, later I went to work and my dad stayed home. Next morning, he starts asking me all these questions. How much I make, what are my expenses, he asked me for payment stubs. It was annoying because he didn't say what for. Eventually, he made the proposal. "I'll buy you the car" he said "but you have to pay it off in a year." I was like wahh O_0!!! He explained the whole payment plan, and said that for the 1st six months I need to pay $1000 every month. Then, I would ask for a loan and pay the rest with my own credit, which will improve my credit – considerably.

I agree with the plan, we got the car and I had a big smile on my face . Unfortunately, my smile was wiped of my face as soon as I found out how much my insurance was going to cost me. State Farm was charging me $440 per month, for 6 months! I'm scratching my head, asking myself, why the hell is it so expensive. Well, back in Nov-06, I had a minor car accident. It's on my record, so, at the moment I was utterly ******. I started shopping around and eventually found a "decent" price from Geico. While, I didn't get my smile back, I had a little smirk . I negotiated with my father and got the monthly payments to $700.

Now, I'm trying to cut back on my expenses, so I called DirectTV to downgrade my service. Seriously, these people are on another level. I mean, I called them and tell them, I'm trying to cut my expenses and they get me in a plan that will cost me more that what I'm paying now! I was told not to go with them, but, me being the nice guy that I'm went with them anyways. Now if I want to cancel, I have to pay $20 per every month that I don't use the service, which, I just recently started. I have to figure something out.

Some people just don't have opinions. Like chief_527.
chief_527 must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could chief_527 possibly have for not rating a single film?
