Xbox 360 Droolage

I am an Xbox 360 owner. I am not interested in owning a Wii or even a PS3(Although there are a few exclusive ps3 titles that DO look to be interesting). I am quite happy with my 360 game system. Everything from the games right down the the EXTREMELY affordable Xbox Live service.

However, there’s some things coming this way for 360 owners that has me drooling. So, I decided I would share with you the things im looking forward to most.

Twitter – Yea, Twitter is getting intergrated with the xbox live service. So, you can send and recieve twitter posts right from the comfort of your living room couch.

Facebook – Yea, apparently Facebook is getting added to the Xbox Live service too…How cool right?

Combine those with the already available netflix addon, yer pretty much good to go! The only other things I would like to see, is a Gmail addon and maybe a basic browser without java/cookies/flash kinda thang.

Splintercell: Conviction – Newest Splinter cell game! Was due out way back in ‘07 but according to the folks at ubisoft this time it REALLY will make it by this coming christmas.

Alan Wake – I don’t know a whole lot about this game, but it looks pretty damn sweet and made by the brainiacs who did Max Paine. Nuff said!

Ghostbusters – C’mon! It’s Ghostbusters! What’s not to drool about? Plus from what I hear its got the whole original cast doing the voices. if that doesn’t make you jizz in your pants, then you CLEARLY are not geek enough to hang with me.

Lifehouse – You and me

What day is it
And in what month
This clock never seemed so alive
I can’t keep up and I can’t back down
I’ve been losing so much time

Cause it’s you and me and all of the people
Nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it’s you and me and all of the people and
I don’t know why I can’t keep my eyes off of you

All of the things that I want to say
Just aren’t coming out right
I’m tripping on words, you got my head spinning
I don’t know where to go from here

Cause it’s you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to prove
And it’s you and me and all of the people and
I don’t why I can’t keep my eyes off you

Something about you now
I can’t quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

Cause it’s you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it’s you and me and all of the people and
I don’t know why I can’t keep my eyes off of

You and me and all of the people
With nothing to do nothin to prove and
It’s you and me and all of the people and
I don’t know why I can’t keep my eyes off of you

What day is it
And in what month
This clock never seemed so alive

Dexter

dexterSo, there hasn’t been any good movies being released on netflix recently, so rather than just sit around with my thumb up my ass, I decided I would check out some TV shows that I haven’t watched before, and see if I have been missing out on anything of even remote interest. To my surprise, I did find one so far of interest. I’m not sure how I had missed it.

The show is called Dexter, it’s a showtime original series. Most likely you all know the premise, but I will do a quick break-down for those who don’t. Its about a guy named Dexter Morgan who works in a police lab and studies blood splatterings. Excitement right? Well, he’s also a serial killer! His target though is other killers. So, the show is about him going from day to day, trying to make sure his “Mask of sanity” doesn’t slip off for all the world to see.

It’s an incredible show. I love it, trying to get caught up before season 4 starts up this fall on Showtime. So far, I am up to season 2, and i can’t seem to pull away. I have to force myself to leave the TV. I don’t think I have watched this much TV in several years quite honestly.

Anyway, while watching Dexter season 2, I noticed that the debbie character stumbled across the book title “The Ice Princess”. Which I found slightly amusing, seeing as how Erik King (Who plays Doakes) was in the movie “Ice Princess”. Most likely it was just a funny coincidence instead of a friendly nod, since erik didn’t even have a huge part in the movie. However I thought it was amusing enough to note.

Pisspoor friends

Let me tell you a little bit about something that pisses me off.

Friends who decide that when they are in a relationship with someone, it’s a great idea to ditch their close friends. Even if it’s just one friend. This type of shit really pisses me off. It makes me REALLY resent the so-called “Friend” and makes me ask myself, were they ever truly a friend to begin with?

Case in point! I have(Had?) this friend, whom I felt was my closest friend. She and I shared everything together. I told her things I wouldn’t dare tell anyone else, simply because I trusted her more than I trusted many other people I know. The thing is, she has this thing, where when she gets involved with someone, she ditches me all together.

It would be one thing if this had only happened on one occasion. However in the time I have known her, she has been involved with two people. Both times she tossed me away like a sack of backseat garbage, and decided it would be in the best interest of her new relationship if she pissed all over me.

Why? Why the FUCK would someone who claims to be your “Best friend” do that to you? Maybe because I am a dude? Who can say, if that’s the case however I call “Bullshit!” because I have been in relationships, and some of those women I have been with didn’t like my female friends, or felt threatened or jealous of them. Did I flush those friends down the toilet? NO! Why? Because, as much as you like to think the relationship you are in will last forever, odds are pretty damn good that it won’t. In fact, most likely, your friendships will outlast your next 4 relationships. When your “Lover” has finished fucking you over, it’s going to be your friends who are there to help you pick up the pieces and tell you what a manipulating prick that person was you were with, and how you can and will do much better than them.

So, why the hell would I toss those people away? Who does that? I’ll tell you who. Selfish little people who are only thinking of themselves, because they take your friendship for granted. They figure they can shit all over you, because when it’s all said and done, you will forgive them for not being there for YOU when you were upset about something, because they were too busy being off giving only thoughts to themselves and their own happiness.

So, if you are a friend being dumped all over by one of these types of “Friends” Don’t worry, because it’s not you. Your “Friend” just has some serious fucking issues.

Gaze in amazement

As promised in my previous post, my next entry would contain a picture of me in all my glory. For better or worse! If you feel the need to insult me, please do so, since I clearly insult anything and everything i find, weird, freaky or disturbing. If i find something you do weird as hell, I am going to insult it as well, and there’s a good chance you might take personal offence, as if I am directly targeting you, despite the fact that I have never met you in my life.

The man, The Myth, The frickin’ Legend!

Ok, so ever since my post where I made fun of Li’l Wayne and how he dressed, I have gotten a LOT of death threats from barely literate Blog readers. However, I have also got a number of E-Mails complaining about me making fun of someone and hiding what I look like behind the safety of my monitor. These E-Mails have a valid point. I should CLEARLY be equally judged by who I am and what I look like, so without further ado, I have decided to unveil myself to my Blogging audience! That’s right! You will bare witness to the Man, the Myth, The frickin’ Legend that is Shaide!

Woah though! Don’t start holding your breath now. I’m not unveiling it TODAY! Nope! However, my next post? It will have my picture in it. Why? Because this gives you the time needed to come up with good insults, to try and make me cry so you can post something clever and witty that basically translates to “Oh, you can dish it, but can’t take it huh? Boo-hoo-hoo!”

Regret

have you ever said something that you regretted? Not because it was mean, or hurtful or dishonest, but because it made you feel stupid. Like you just stuck the worlds biggest foot right into your mouth? I did that last night. I said something, that while true probably was better left unsaid like its been unsaid for months.

So, why after months of not saying anything did I choose to open my mouth and start yapping? I wish I could say. I wasn’t drinking so I unfortunately can’t blame Vodka. In fact the only thing I can blame is the fact that it was late at night. Which is my story, and man I am sticking to it. What’s worse, is today the person just acted like nothing was said, although seems a bit off with me. Which makes it worse, it was bad enough that I felt stupid saying it, but when the person just ignores it afterwards? Well, not only do I feel regret and feel a weight of stupidity laying on top of me, but I also feel like anything I had to say, just didn’t matter, so I made myself look stupid for nothing.

Maybe I am just blowing things out of proportion, maybe not. I just wish I could just take make what all I said and save face. However, nobody ever gets what they wish for.

Jim Croce – You Don’t mess around with jim

Uptown got it’s hustlers
The bowery got it’s bums
42nd Street got Big Jim Walker
He’s a pool-shootin’ son of a gun
Yeah, he big and dumb as a man can come
But he stronger than a country hoss
And when the bad folks all get together at night
You know they all call big Jim “Boss”, just because
And they say

You don’t tug on Superman’s cape
You don’t spit into the wind
You don’t pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don’t mess around with Jim

Well outta south Alabama came a country boy
He say I’m lookin’ for a man named Jim
I am a pool-shootin’ boy
My name Willie McCoy
But down home they call me Slim
Yeah I’m lookin’ for the king of 42nd Street
He drivin’ a drop top Cadillac
Last week he took all my money
And it may sound funny
But I come to get my money back
And everybody say Jack don’t you know

And you don’t tug on Superman’s cape
You don’t spit into the wind
You don’t pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don’t mess around with Jim

Well a hush fell over the pool room
Jimmy come boppin’ in off the street
And when the cuttin’ were done
The only part that wasn’t bloody
Was the soles of the big man’s feet
Yeah he were cut in in bout a hundred places
And he were shot in a couple more
And you better believe
They sung a different kind of story
When big Jim hit the floor now they say

You don’t tug on Superman’s cape
You don’t spit into the wind
You don’t pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don’t mess around with Slim

Yeah, big Jim got his hat
Find out where it’s at
And it’s not hustlin’ people strange to you
Even if you do got a two-piece custom-made pool cue

Yeah you don’t tug on Superman’s cape
You don’t spit into the wind
You don’t pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don’t mess around with Slim

ZOMG! Pirates!

jolly-rogerOk, so im sure most of you have heard of the captain being held by pirates, and like most everyone you have heard of the daring rescue of this captain who is getting referred to all over the place as a hero. You have also I am sure heard that the pirates have vowed revenge against the U.S., and Obama pledging to fight piracy! So, I am thinking this; Why should we?

I mean, why do we got to pledge to fight against piracy. Why not just get together a bunch of ninjas, and send em over to take out the pirates? I mean, seriously…We all know ninjas are way cooler than pirates. If it had been ninjas that was holding the captain hostage, the outcome would have been sooooo different..Unless they were zombie or ghost pirates..but that would be just silly!

On another note, I think lately people throw the term “Hero” around way too often these days. It seems like everytime I turn around, there’s the new flavor of the day. Whats worse is you can become a “Hero” for pretty much anything, and if it’s lacking that “Pazazz” to make people want to jump up and cheer, don’t worry! The media will hype pretty much everything up to make you you look like the best thing to come around since jesus! Well, that is unless they need a villian then you will be made to look like the anti-christ.

Little bit of sunshine

Well, there’s finally some good news to report to the world. I mentioned the busted pipe issue in my last post, well it doesn’t look like the floor is going to have to be replaced. That’s some good news finally. As for the pipes, I am not exactly a handi-man. However I think I can fix this myself. I do know a little bit, and I am firmly confident that I have the abilities and skills to do this myself. I will begin tomorrow.

Wish me luck.
