What's been goin on
Goodbye Official Playstation Magazine.
Lots of stuff!!
Wow, it's been more than a month since I last blogged. Man, it really was a long time ago...So, what have I been up to? I've turned 17, lost weight, and gained it back in muscle, got a car, and CAN BUY M RATED VIDEO GAMES!! I've waited a long, long, time for that. Plus, I'm stuff makin A's and B's now. It's a lot more easy now with wrestling outta the way and not having 2-3 and a half our practices. I can even drink stuff and be more hydrated too! Did you know that Gotorade/Powerade DEHYDRATE YOU?? Can you believe that bullcrap? Believe it. The best way to hydrate yourself is to drink water. You can still drink the stuff, but, I heard from a doctor, that you should drink at least 16 oz of water afterwords! That's outrageous! It even says on the bottle, rehydratess you. That really dissappoints me. Wrestling season really was takin up a lot of my time. It's different now to have so much more of it back. I'm gonna do track too, but that should be a walk in the park compared to wrestling. DMC 3 is really cool. It really helped me out when I cought the flu. If I hadn't had a flu shot, I think that it would have been much worse for me. I even missed two days of school because of it!! What's more is, during wrestling season, I was running on my treadmill and fell and cut up my hands making it VERY difficult to wrestle. Oh, man. What a time I had. What a time, indeed. So now, I can do pratically what I want for awhile. It's great. I can even get more sleep!
Happy New Year!!

Stuff that's been goin on
I was too lazy to say what's been goin on latly, but now I have a couple of minutes to say stuff. A lot of stuff has happened. After my grandad died he left his car and his house to us. My parents thought that I outta have it. It is a '96 Jeep Cherokee Sport. In short, it's awesome. 20 miles to the gallon isn't too bad either. Wrestling is still takin up a lot of my time, but now I'm on Christmas vacation. We got back from Hawaii awhile ago, and it was a pretty good time. I'm very excited about Christmas, but I also want wrestling season to be over with too. Lol, it's over in a month. After January, it's over. Nice. Then, I have about 2-3 monthes just to do nothing but homework. Track will be fun then. I also saw Rocky Balboa. If you've seen any of the Rocky movies I think that you'll really like this movie. It's good. R.I.P grandad, and I'll take good care of your car.
Hawaii!
Dragon Quest VIII is a great game!!!
I got a new game...
I just bought Dragon Quest 8! I haven't played it yet, or even opened it. I might have some time to play it this weekend. I got it for a real bargain, $20! That's so much better than $50!! I'm glad that I waited to get this game. I had to return The Godfather. It was a pretty solid game I might add.
I'm not gonnna be able to get on nearly as much as I have been, and that hasn't been much at all. Wrestling season starts tomorrow after school until about 5:30 or 5:45. Since school ends at 2:40, and practice begins right after school, 2:45-3:00, that's more than 2 and a half hours of practice. That's intense. I hope that this year goes better than last year. I hurt my wrist last year and only wrestled for a week or so. If people aren't mean to me, it outta be fun, and since I'm pretty good friends with some people in my weight class, 140-150, it should be fun. Even though wrestling will take up most of my time, school and grades are still gonna be my main focus. I should be able to keep up my grades and stuff while wrestling goes on. Grades really haven't ever been a problem for me.
I hear good things about Dragon Quest VIII. If I ever get some time after season starts, I won't be bored!
I rented The GodFather: The Game!
Yes, it's pretty good,and maybe I'll have a review for it. I've spent about 4 hours on it already, and I just rented it today. We have a 4-day weekend this weekend. That means, I don't go back to school until Tuesday! Cool. Wrestling season starts then too. I'm a little nervous, scared, and the like right now. All I can do is my best, I suppose. It'll just be school, wrestling, homework, workin out, and guitar for the next 3 monthes I guess. Hopefully, it'll be fun. I wish my best friend was able to wrestle this year, but he can't because of some reasons. Season ends in February. Sounds like a long time huh? Anyhow, The Godfather: The game is a pretty good game so far! It's like GTA, only Godfather style with some twists and stuff.
It'll be good to actually get some well-deserved sleep today. Also, I volunteered 6 hours of community service today! It was pretty fun. I had 2 of my friends with me. We're gonna do it again on Monday. This is gonna be a good weekend for me.
I just wrote my first serious review!!
Grandad,IE7,and other stuff...
As you know, my grandad passed away awhile ago. Things have been going better for me. I've accepted it, but I will miss him. My mom, on the other hand, isn't doing so well. The funeral went well though, a week ago. I'm glad that he won't be suffering anymore...
SO, let's move on to some better things, shall we? Today was the last band conmetition of the year, and our last football game will be next thursday. Wresting season starts at the end of this month, and, hopefully, I won't die. It'll be really tough, but I think I'll be able to do it ,and have a good time also. I'm getting better at guitar, but I still need some more practice to it.
I never thought that I would say this, but I'm using IE7. I don't really know why though. I guess that it's easier on the eyes than Firfox. Plus, it's a lot faster than the older version. IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE IT TOOK THEM 5 YEARS TO MAKE THIS ONE!! In essence that makes Firefox better, but this ones' text looks better...it's kinda hard for me to explain. If you have a computer now, then you outta get the new IE. It's like Firefox in a lot of ways, and STOLE some things from it also. I'm kinda dissappointed...I thought that Microsoft, AN ACTUAL COMPANY, would do better and not steal some ideas. O well.
Gamewise, not much has changed. I'm excited about seeing the PS3's interface, and it's just like the PSP's version, but more buff! You can take a look at that vid here on GS. It'll be awesome. I've also been getting much more into music, which is why I've been on MP3.com for the last 2 days. I need to know more about bands and stuff like that. I mostly like some Hard Rock,Classic Rock, and some Metal. Although, I like some rap, like brass monkey by the Beastie Boys. I really want an ipod with very good video quality, good storage, good battery life, and somthing cool looking. Unfourtunatly, they're not to my expectations...yet. I hope one day they will be. Well, I probly shouldn't get one yet, because I only have like maybe 35 CDs and some I don't even like anymore. My friends make fun of some of the stuff that I listen to know too. I really need to get some good stuff like the stuff that I want from MP3.com.
It's kinda hard to add things to your collection on MP3.com. It's very frustrating. If somthing has various artists as creaters, you can't add them to your collection. If you've tried it, you know what I mean, and you know that it still needs some work. At least they have some awsome bios! Anyhow, I've said too much. I'm out for now.
R.I.P grandad
So today, I was studying, and I hear my mom come home. I was gonna say hello, so I finished up some problems I was working on. I walked down the stairs, and I hear my mom crying. My grandad has died. This wasn't something that I wanted to hear right now. Things were actually starting to look up for me too. Still, it happened today. I think that I'm taking it pretty well. He had alsymers, and for those that do not know what that is, it's when you can't remember anything, and you forget everything. I mean everything. It's horrible. He used to call us a whole lot everyday. It got annoying. I think that we will have his funeral this Sunday. He just wasn't the same after my grandmother died...he forgot everything and somtimes asked where she was sometimes. I think that I'll be alright. I just need to help my mom get through this. My dad knows what it's like because he has lost both of his parents aslo. We will have to sell his house and get rid of all of the things he owned. Of course, we will keep some things. We will have to sell some though. This just isn't a really cool thing to happen right now. Rest in Peace Grandad. I hope that you have passed on.
Also, his funeral is going to be this Sunday.
I believe that I need a header and a banner now. Only one problem...
The new Ipods are sweet!!!
I'm sorry...
On the lighter side, I'm going to get a demo of Battlefield 2 to see if it's any good, I'm learning Smoke on the Water on guitar, and playing Halo on Legendary is pretty fun, if not mostly hard at some points. I hope that I can keep my grades up in school. Biology, at least, is getting somewhat easier for me.
And last, I'm gonna try to write some reviews and revise my review on Pictochat. When I write my reviews, I wanna express my opinion to it's full extent, but that's hard seeing as I have trouble expressing myself sometimes...Also, I hope that some of my reviews help other people in choosing good games, as well as seeing with ones are bad. I'm just sorry that I sounded like a jerk back there.
