I'm on fire, I'm burning up, I can't be stopped, I'm on fiiiire
Wow. It sure takes a special type of person to wait, all day and over night in the freezing cold and rain outside of Best Buy for an over-priced game console.
Fuck a XBox 360.
My review? These "pre" models (since Microsoft rushed to get them out before Christmas) are really just betas that Mircosoft is going to end up doing a recall on later. It's a what I call a product release testing. Issuing limited quantities for a high demand item, around the holidays no less, created unneccisary (sp?) chaos. Just to find out how much demand they have for them so they can fix the supply. You pay $399 for the premium system, and $299 for the core system (which you'll end up needing to buy $100+ accessories to "experiance" the XBoX360 to its fullest anyways) that are technically post prototype editions, so the consumers can find the bugs and flaws. You pretty much paid for what Microsoft and other companies pay people to do. Product Test.
Not saying it isn't an awesome system, just, really don't rush to get one, unless you spoil your children, or you are spoiled, or you just simple MUST have one on release (you're probably the same people who dress up and wait hours in line to see a movie on release night. But I'm just saying).
For having dual video processor, the graphics still just aren't that great in my opinion. There's still a fairly high amount of pixilation for what's processing it, the texturing isn't that smooth. Perhaps the fact that it's HDTV capable and ready (on the gold system only I believe, but i'm not 100%) would make a difference. If you ask me, wait a few months for the rendition and updated version.
Got off work and went out to Pensacola, hung at The Handlebar for a few, then got down with some friends, and made a few new ones. Dale and Nathan are two pretty neat guys I would say. Hiliary is nice conversation. I'm pretty tired though, and I have to work in the afternoon. I don't really have much to update. Except what's in the LJ cut.
Apprarently writing is something else I can't control, I get to typing and thinking, and it ends up looking so long I've just been LJ cutting it. LJ cut 4TW. (For Teh Win).
Marcera asked me to be their lead singer, try out to see if they liked my sound, how we all got along working together. I was thrilled, but the only problem is that I'm moving to Pensacola, I have a stable job that I'm excelling currently and rising through the rungs of that big 'ole corporate latter. So fuck throwing what I have now away for something potentially unstable. That's just not how I roll. Security is too hard to come by. Too fucking hard.
Saw a bike for sale, used `02 for $3000, the price makes me a little unweary, but it looks to be in good condition. No slide marks, or real gashes, the block looks good. I'm still debating though.
Happy Holidays everyone, hope you're having as much fun as I am, staying safe, and being good. There's a lot more, but you just can't tell fun, great stories over LJ. At least I can't. I may take a break from Best Buy after the 26th, to get all my things moved, get settled, go out of town, and out of the country a little bit, figure out how my schedule is going to swing with school, studying and gym time. Then get the work schedule shaped around that. It will for sure be as low stress as possible. As I learned with Outback, and a couple jobs before that, stress makes me a different person. My school schedule is going to be fairly light the first two, or three semeseters until I get back into the habit of studying and I discipline myself more.
All in all I'm excited, stressed, worried, nervous, happy. I pulled it off, I'm moving the fuck out of Destin again, not as a fugitive or anything else, but on my own terms, to get ready for the working adult world. Fuck anyone who tries to slow me down or stop me. No offense, but, I just won't let you.
It's good to be awake. I wasn't comfortable with my wake up call, or being awake at first. So I tried to forget everything, I was pretty bad for a while there. Now though....
I'm on fire, I put my drinking down, my chin up, no one can't break my stride or slow my motivation. I've gotten much smarter with my money, and I have a working budget. (I still go over time to time again, but you HAVE to eat...even if its a few too many midnight snacks. Hey I'm human.)
And it feels GOOD! Thank you.
