I'm it.

Well I've been tagged and now have to post some facts about myself. I noticed that some people have written ten facts, others five, so I'll go halfway in between those numbers.

1. I had Spinal Meningitis when I was two years old and had to spend a month in the hospital.

2. I lost my hearing in my left ear thanks to theMeningitis. I am completely deaf in that ear.Surely the reason why I'm tone deaf.

3. I am left-handed, not sure if it's a curse or blessing.

4. I have one son who is four and a half months old. He was born on June 9th. There may be another basic on the way in the next two years.

5. I have lived in South Carolina my whole life and just live two houses down from my childhood home. I live in my grandparents house.My wifewas born in Pensacola, Florida.

6. I got a BFA in Art Education from The University of South Carolina. I didn't originally major in education, I just kind of fell into it. I was originally an art studio major, but realized that with that degree, I would go by the name "Waiter" my whole life. I promptly changed to a degree that has served me well for a over a decade.

7. My wife and I had dated for six and a half years before we married. We are now married for six and a half years.

7.5 I have one....

I will tag some folks in the comments section.

Life and jury duty.

Just a little update on life. Baby J just turned four on Friday, four months old already. He is really growing, wearing 6-9 months clothing at the moment. He is above average in length, but he is around the fifteen pound mark right now. That's about double his weight since birth.

We started feeding him rice cereal and he has taken to it well. I'm a little worried about when he begins to eat solids, though. I've seen my nephew choke on several foods and I wouldn't ewant that to happen to baby J. Oh well, we'll deal with that when/if it ever happens. Thus is life.

I just found out that I have been summoned for jury duty. This will be the second time for me. I don't mind serving, but I'd rather not miss any days of work at the moment. We plan to take off for the week of Thanksgiving to take a trip to Florida and I intended to have perfect attendance at work till then. I'll let you guys know if I become a juror. Not sure what all I could say about the case, but we'll see. Later.

Strawberry Candy on Labor Day.

Hello everyone and happy Labor Day. It's time that we think of the millions of people, the laborers, tradesmen and militaryin the workforce every day. Let's celebrate for them. Let's also take the time to think about the millions still in need of a job and hope that things will turn around soon for them. I've been very grateful to have been working and doing something that I really enjoy for the last ten years.

I finally hit the big 5-0 on Labor Day. I am Strawberry Candy. I have no clue what that means. It seems as though I go through about ten levels per year because I was an Abobo at about this time last year. Anyway, happy Labor Day. Enjoy.

media_lks_boxart_little_kings_story.jpg

I haven't touched LKS yet and won't till after I complete Batman: Arkham Asylam. I hear it is a wonderfully, original game. I'm looking forward to playing it, but wanted to wait till I had a lot of time on my hands and not just play in fifteen minute chunks. I can't wait to talk about this game with the guys that have played it.

Metroid plays like a dream now. What a great deal,three AAA games on one disc. Check these games out when you get a chance.

To celebrate my 360's not so glorious return....

Let's have a gaming night. Say Friday, August 14 at 8pm EST. I'm up for anything, but I'd much prefer something that can involve a large community of gamers. Games such as GTA IV or Team Fortress. I also have Castle Crashers, Gears of War 1 and 2 and plan to download Turtles in Time by then.I would also be willing to rent other games to play such a SF4(for martial). Maybe would could have many different games going on at once, which may require other hosts.

I realize that most of us are in different time periods so use this to see what time it would be for you. If you're interested leave your gamertag and the games you prefer to play. I'll PM details to those interested next week. Later guys and gals.

About Me

I'm a very avid gamer and have been a member here since 2003. I've been a Nintendo fan all of my life, but I don't just limit myself to just Nintendo consoles. I'm a teacher who tries to game a lot during my free time. It's not easy finding time to game, though. I also have a wife who is into gaming which is very cool.
