Last Weekend...

Last weekend some family and friend decided to meet up at Looney's Pub for a pre-celebration for my birthday. We ate dinner there and continued to party on the bar side afterwards. Here are some pictures from that night:

It's My Birthday

Yeah, that's right ladies and gentlemen, I am another day older. Being 25 has its ups and downs, like no other time in your life someone is going to say, "dude, your a quarter century years old." Also, you will get a car insurance relieve because you are safer driver by this age. 25 also has come draw back, for example, what other milestone is there after 25, 50 right, over the hill. I guess I will have to wait another 25 years before I see that day.

Life has change so much since the day I was born. I grew up in a small town, Lisbon, Ohio and I would never change those years for the world. Living in Ohio has taught me the farming and small town life which gave a broader sense to different life styles. After these days, I moved to Aberdeen, Maryland, for 15 years now and become acquainted with city/urban lifestyles. Not to mention, the addition to traveling to various countries; I would say I seen more than most people do in a life time. I am grateful for everything comes my way and I am eager to explore more--just to see what life has to offer.

Call of Duty 2

Call of Duty 2 is one hell of a game with some draw backs. The game was supposed to be out by October 25th but no stores had it until 26th or later. Eric, my brother, had gotten the game for me as an early birthday present so I had a chance to play it a few times. But here are my thoughts:

Pros:

• Realism in the game is amazing
• Still have favorite maps from with additional design layout
• Different/More guns choices
• Each gun gives a different amount of grenades (sniper = 3 grenades and spray gun = 1 grenade)
• grenade, flag, and enemy indicator to know about surrounding area (hopefully you can turn this off)
• Voice mode (Able to spit out commands)
  

Cons:

• No Sprinting
• No Cookable Grenades
• No Jeeps nor Tanks
• No health indicator (could also be a good thing too)
• No trips

I'm sure that modders will add old features from Call of Duty UO to Call of Duty 2 and continue to make COD a paramount.

Message for Anonymous commenter’s

I love to see folks come this site and leave comments; however, the Anonymous comments leave me in the dark of who left that particular message. I am asking the anonymous user to leave some type of insignia (maybe something I may know you by). This way I can comment back and know who to address it to. Thanks, Kevin

Thumb Update:

Well, I went to the doctors last week and the results weren't good. My thumb bones still has not fused together yet. So I will be in the cast at least until November 3rd.

It really sucks having a cast. You are always limited in just about everything. Now, the damn thing is starting to stink! You can seriously get high off of my hand. I practically walk around with my cast up to my face like smelling a ball glove during a game. It's not the greatest smell but it very catchy.

Let's just say, I cannot wait until November to come so I can get my hand back. I hate being disable =/

Sorry!

I know I haven't done a posting for about two weeks now. Please forgive me? School has been taking up a lot of my time with papers and now mid-terms.

During this down time I did manage to find a nice calendar and guestbook to add to this site. Please fill free to check them out.

The Calendar will let you know what's going in my life as well upcoming events such as birthdays, deaths, or anything to take knowledge of. I believe you can add event as well. This is done by clicking on the date and typing what you want others to know.

The Guestbook is a different kind of guestbook. This one will allow viewers to add their location as well as picture, name, and shout out. This guestbook is unique because you and I can view the locations where folks have visited this site. So again, go and check it out and add yourself to my guestbook.

Here Piggy Piggy

This weekend Jen and I went to her friends house for their annual Pig Roast. We had a great time. When we arrived their were about 15 Harleys in the driveway. What a sight to see! There was a band playing until early in the night and then a DJ arrived until the wee hours of the night. The DJ was from a local music station here in Harford County. We walked into the house and saw the pig staring right back at us. Jen was completely disgusted and decided against eating from anything that starred back at her. I, on the other hand tasted the pork and everything else that was there as well as the pit ham and turkey. The food was really good!

As time went on and as the alcohol started to kick in people started playing beer games. One was called "flip the cup", which is totally crazy. We also took some shots of choclate cake, which is one of Jen's favorites. Jennifer liked the frozen "Sex on the Beach" drinks while I stuck to basic beer.

We enjoyed dancing under the stars to the music as well as the bon fire and being in the company of great friends. This was surely a weekend that won't soon be forgotten.
