Long time no see! How has Christmas been for you all? I figured I'd post the stuff I got so I can add myself to the list and to say I'm still here.

I Received:
- Acoustic/Electric Guitar and Picks
- Amp and Cables
- Guitar Starter Book
- American Eagle Shirt
- Socks
- Lego Figure
- Flashlight/Knife/Compass Item
- $20 Check

So yeah, I'm totally satisfied.

As the title says, school is currently going on, it has been since the 27th. Which, as most of you know, means I won't be on quite as much.

I figure I may as well tell you all our band show this year. It consists of "Let's Get Crazy" by Quiot Riot, "Holiday" by Green Day, and "We're An American Band" by some group that I don't know the name of. Its not too bad. Last year was the first year I started band, so this year I can actually play the show and made great improvements over the year or so, which is fine by my book.

Our first football game was the 31st, and we won 37 to 0. Not bad for the first game.

Finally, I got two new games, "New Super Mario Bros." and "Super Mario 64 DS". They're great! My favorite out of the two is "Super Mario 64 DS", simply because I had the original (lost it, still can't find it) and I like the memory it brought back.

Well, yesterday (the 29th) was my birthday. Just figured I'd let people know. (:

I recieved:

$135
Devil May Cry III Special Edition
Questions & Answers Encyclopedia

I think that's good. And on top of that, I also puchased Shadow of the Colossus on the BestBuy website, so that should be arriving anytime now. Plus my Mom said something about taking me to my local Wal-Mart to pickout something. I turned out luckly this weeked. (:

*Update* Shadow of the Colossus came in today (the 30th). And I have to say, its great! Same with Devil May Cry.

More recently, July 17th to be exact, NewGrounds went through a redesign. Now I bet you're wondering, "why is this so special?" Well, the redesign has been hyped about for AGES, with many delays, and it finally here!

Now for those who don't know much about NewGrounds or has never heard of it, the site is dedicated to flash movies and games for a wide audience of people. From games and movies rating from All Audiences to Adult, the site has something for everyone. There's also a forum; you should be fine there as long as you have a sence of humor and can stand some cussing here and there. So check it out!

Christmas this year was pretty sweet. I got some good stuff. Here is the list.

-Dell Laptop
-Final Fantasy XII (PS2)
-Final Fantasy III (DS)
-Tetris DS (DS)
-various shirts, sweatshirts, etc.

So, yeah. I think I did well this year. Sorry if it seemed like I rubbed it everyone's faces.
