Brownies...
So here I am, making a blog 2 days in a row... surprising huh? 
Yeah, it is to me as well. I doubt I will keep up with making one every day but I do hope to stick with this blogging thing a little more and using the features of this site a little more than just for posting when I am around. (Although don't get me wrong, I still love to post. ) I've also been trying to comment on other user's blogs more over the past few days as well, also something I haven't been very good at doing in the past. Who knows, maybe one of these nights coming up I will make a video blog for old times sake as well. 
Also something interesting, to me at least ( ), I might even go check out the News section on GS since I haven't done that in forever as well and see what I have been missing out on. 
Now to the name of this blog, why is it named Brownies you may ask yourself? Well, because I fixed a girl from work's laptop for her for free because her little brother messed it up and she needed it for school but couldn't afford to get it fixed by someplace before she needed it again. So I decided to be a nice guy and fix it for her for free since her birthday was coming up I told her just to consider it an early birthday present. But she has decided to bake me some brownies for fixing her laptop for her, so not a bad deal IMO.
I wish more people were like that now days. Someone does something nice for you, you do something nice for them in return. Of course that's not why I was nice in fixing her computer, I didn't expect or want anything in return but it's good to know that there are still others around that think that way as well. Where most others would have just said thanks and never done anything in return or mentioned it again she decided to make the fat guy some brownies for his trouble. Which is really sweet, although she doesn't know that I don't like brownies because I didn't tell her that because she seemed really happy to be doing something in return for me helping her out. (Those that know me better know that I don't care for alot of junk food) But it's all good because I have a little sister that loves brownies so I will just give them to her when I bring them home from work and she'll be all happy about that. 
It's little things like this that make the world a great place IMO. Sure there is alot of bad things going around, especially in today's world, but taking the time to notice and appreciate little acts of kindness like this is what makes me look forward to the future in today's world. Anyways, before I end up writing a short story here I should wrap this thing up huh?
All is well with me, and I hope all is well with everyone here too. Work is over with, soon the housework will be completed and I will be coming to the forums for a little posting before taking my nightly shower and watching some netflix before bed. So overall, today was good and I'm hoping for more of the same tomorrow. So next time you have the time to do something nice for someone you know, or don't know for that matter, take the time and help them out because who knows, maybe making them feel better will make you feel better as well.

Ah, Sunday, one of the very few days I actually get to have some relaxation time. Between work and housework I don't get too much time to sit and relax. I had a great weekend. Went out and drank too much, spent too much but also had alot of fun so overall I have to say that it was worth it. Nothing really new on the gaming front, haven't even been playing them the past week but I am sure I will get back to them soon enough. Made some time for netflix but haven't watched as much as I would have liked to or had enough time for GameSpot either but I've been trying to do both. Lately it just seems there isn't enough hours in the day to do everything that I want to, but I like it that way too because I'd rather have it that way than sitting around bored and having the day just drag on and on.
Everything is good with the family and at work. Feels good to have a job that I love even if I won't get rich doing it I'd rather take the higher quality of life than the higher paycheck. I work with great people and actually look forward going to work most days. With the benefits and still alot of room to go up in pay still I feel appreciated for the work I do and that's something I haven't had in really any other job that I worked at. When I worked for Godfather's Pizza in Iowa I enjoyed that job as well but it was more fun since I didn't have benefits, paid time off or make a decent wage.
If you haven't been able to tell yet this is a random blog with me talking about whatever is on my mind, so if you are looking for substance you probably shouldn't be reading this. Today has been good, I've got laundry about half done and I'm watching some football (Vikings vs. Packers currently). In a little while I'll probably watch some netflix, I'm currently working on Season 4 of Law & Order SVU. I'm hoping to finish season 4 off tonight before going to bed for work in the morning. I also upped my subscription to 3 DVD's in home on top of the watching instantly feature since when I get through the movies I want to watch I will be going to some of the seasons I like and it'll be easier to get through them with 3 at a time instead of 1. I haven't decided what show I want to watch first though. I'm thinking Family Guy, then American Dad, Sopranos, Deadwood, House, Oz and who knows after that.
Anyways, as you can see, all is well and I hope all is well with you too. Feel free to let me know how you are doing as well and if you have any questions just ask and I will get to them as soon as I can. Thank you for taking the time to read this.... those of you that actually did... see what I did there? I put the thank you at the end so you had to read through all of that just to get to it.

Tagged.. 10 things huh?
Well I have been tagged and since I actually talk to the user who tagged me I feel it would be rude to not answer the call, but keep in mind I am not very good at such things so don't expect anything awesome from me or anything.
1.) My name is David Decker. I'm a pretty boring sort. I work, go out with friends on the weekend and the rest of my time is taken up with either video games, reading, housework or watching tv/movies.
2.) I'm 26 years old, I was born 8-5-83. I was born in Massachusetts, but I've moved around a lot since then. I've lived in MA, PA, NY, IA and then back to PA and now currently I live in NY.
3.) I have an older brother who is 28, a younger sister who is 11 and a younger brother who is 10.
4.) Because of the little siblings I stay at home. Since I don't date anymore (bad relationship history) I prefer to live at home to help my mom out with the housework since her bf (he's not my father, my father passed away in 2005) that way she can actually relax when she gets home from work. Although I also work full time myself and make enough to live on my own and support myself if I chose to do so.
5.) I'm one of the fattest users on GameSpot on top of having the most posts on the site. I'm 6'1'' 300 lbs. Where most users on GS don't come even close to that.
6.) I'm one of the few people now days that actually read more than they watch TV. I mainly just read westerns, but I've almost read alot of Stephen King, Dean Koontz and John Grisham. Some of my favorite western authors are Zane Grey, Louis L'Amour, William Johnstone, Ralph Compton and Ralph Compton
7.) For gaming I am definitly only a casual gamer. I mainly just play sports games and westerns with an occassional other genre game thrown in here and there. I don't care for RPG's, Fantasy or Sci Fi games so that means 90% of the games that come out I'm not interested in. I also don't game online, I spend enough time online *looks at post count* so when I game it's my downtime.
8.) I'm a cook for a local hospital here in Elmira, NY. I'm happy there, I have benefits, paid time off (8 hours for every 40 that I work) and every other weekend and every other holiday off. I love who I work with and I don't see myself working anyplace else in the future.
9.) I don't follow sports as closely as I used to but my favorite sports are baseball and football. My teams are the 49ers and Chicago White Sox. I don't watch a lot of college football but when I do USC is usually the team I go for, either them or Ohio State with some Nebraska thrown in.
10.) This is reserved for those of you that want to know more about me than what is listed above, so feel free to ask in the comments section below and I'll do my best to get to them in a timely manner.

I won't be here much...
Nobody really posts at my UCB anymore and I don't get alot of blog comments so since nobody else wants to make an effort then why should I? This is an end of an era, I'm gone. If I do come on here it will be OT only.
Another Day, Another $1
Hope all has been well with everyone. Things have been good here except for another addition to my Moderation History. But it was only a Warning so I took the hint and left where it happened at and have moved on from that. Just learned my lesson and won't be talking to any Mods anymore that's for sure. Otherwise things have been good. Work is the usual and I'm working on getting the rest of my trophies for Call of Juarez between work and housework. So when I'm gaming I pretty much stick to posting in my UCB. I will be there for a few more hours tonight while playing some Call of Juarez before going to bed somewhat early for work tomorrow. Hope all is well with everyone else and look forward to seeing you around. Have a good night everyone.
