Busy Busy

I'm writing right now due to knowing that I will be excessively busy tonight and probably wont have the time to write out a new post this evening.  It is the night before New Years so there is a lot that goes into getting ready for New Years when you work at a casino, it is generally one of our busiest nights if not our most busiest night of the year.  Last years New Years didn't seem that bad and I think that is due to the planning and prep work that we put in before the night came.  We came together as a group and worked well which made it not seem so bad after it was all said and done.  I expect this year to go down the same way, we all know each other and what we are capable of, we all come together as a kick ass team and get that shit done.  Not to brag but it's just what we do^_^

I watched this movie today,

I have seen it once before but gosh dang it is such an awesome movie, now to be honest this movie takes place after the original FullMetal Alchemist series.  So there can be times where you get lost if you have not watched that series, but I did watch the entirety of FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood which was down right amazing and awesome, I recommend that anime to everyone.

Im in a very random and weird mood so I am going to put a picture of me from I think like 2007 or 2008, I am not sure which year this was taken.  HERE IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!

This picture was taken during a show that my old band Forgotten Masterpiece played in Orangevale CA at I think a venue called Club retro, although I could be wrong.  It was a pretty cool show, actually a lot of things were pretty fun and cool back in those days, we didn't have any kind of worries, we just lived to play music and that was all.  Those were some damn good times.  Anyways.

That's all I really have for today, sorry for how random this post is, my thoughts feel very jumbled right now and not very cohesive at the moment.

Just as a random question.  What is your favorite anime?  It can be a series or a movie, your choice.  GO!!!

Is Anyone Up?

Corcoran CA

So tomorrow my wife, the kids and myself are travelling back to Corcoran so that we can pick up our Durango and so that my wife can get some things done there.  My wife just spent about two weeks there this month as well visiting her parents and her sister and nieces since both of them live in Corcoran.  Now in case your wondering, "Where is Corcoran?".  Let me inform you...

Corcoran is a very small town about an hour east of Fresno, you can get there by taking 41 East when you enter Fresno or you can wait till you get to Selma and follow a small two lane highway to Corcoran as well.  There is literally nothing in Corcoran other then some fast food franchise's and a Prison which is most likely the only reason that town is even still alive since most of the guards and employee's live in the surrounding towns, one of those towns being Corcoran.  Also I am pretty sure that there is onyl like 10 white families that live in the town as well, its like the opposite of Mariposa which is my home town and has like a 95/100% white family racio.  One thing that is great about Corcoran is that my wife's parents make me awesome authentic Mexican food, BOOOOOOOO fudgin YAHHHHHHH.  Other then this Corcoran is a town that you will most likely never even pass thru since you can just bypass it by taking 99 North.  On the off chance that you did pass by it you would most likely miss it due to blinking.

I hope you enjoyed my geography lesson, GOOD BEY!!!!!!!!!!

37% Downloaded

So I mentions a friend of mine named Cody in my blog yesterday and how he gifted me a game called Torchlight.  Well, today he gifted me another game, a great game, the game of all games that put a lot of other games to shame with its awesome-ness.  He gifted me, duh duh duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........

BORDERLANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and then I, BOUGHT THE DLC for BORDERLANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started my download of Borderlands today at about 12:30pm, when I had finally awoken from my slumber only 37% of the game had been downloaded...

WHAT!!!!!!!!!  SHITTY INTERNET?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Yes, that is insane.  My computer is up to par but it is our Internet, the Internet of a small town being choked to death by a provider who only has one central hub and can afford to charge what ever they want and do whatever they want because they know that you have absolutely no choice but to use "their" Internet.  But alas, there is a new hope.  And that new hopes name is...

XFINITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(there are a lot of all caps in this one today)

The only thing that is bad with this is that I have to wait for my contract with the company I am currently with for my home phone and Internet to run out.  Then and only then(unless I want to pay a ridiculous cancellation fee) can I get this Xfinity that everyone is talking about and finally be in the "cool kids" Internet club and have blazing fast speeds(not my label but the Xfinity self proclaimed label).  I'm guessing that they run off of fiber optics, that would probably explain all of the praise for this company's Internet ways.

School starts in like, well, I don't know the total days and I don't really feel like doing the math so I will tell you the actual date..........

January 9th, 2012

GOOD DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(and merry chrimbus)

Ideas and The "General"

Hi everyone, its been a bit of time since I wrote int his blog.  I guess I was kind of taking a break from it, I wasn't really feeling any kind of creativity or the need to blog but now I feel rejuvenated and ready to get down to business once again.  I have found some new inspiration, a new outlet and form of "provocativeness" that I feel I am ready to bring to all of you.  After a few supplies are bought I will be ready to go, ready to make something fun and hopefully in my viewers eye's it comes off as awesome.  So, you can expect new videos at my YouTube page which is youtube.com/theflarida

I have figured out something different to do other then my semi regular but far from par vlogs.  I'm hopeing to make it a regular series and to also make it my calling card of sorts, these new videos will be what I think people will think of when they think of my YouTube channel.  And if this does not work then oh well, I will just move on to the next idea.

I have been contemplating buying new video games as of lately, but every time I am about to buy said game I end up seeing the price and am instantly deterred from buying this product.  I have also noticed that I am actively searching steam for games due to the always super low prices of games that are just as good as any console game that I could play.  I blame Cody for this since he gifted me Torchlight which I have barely played due to, um, kids.  But within the five minutes(literally) I have played, I have fallen in love with this game, I have already imagined my future with this game.  We have four kids, an awesome house, the game drives a Prius and I drive a flying Porsche, we have 2.5 animals and regularly vacation to the Caribbean...

It's a nice life.

School, Soccer and Gaming Issues

I recently registered for my next set of classes out at Columbia College in Sonora, CA.  This next term should be fun but draining at the same time due to having to work, go to school and dot he whole family thing.  Not to mention that I have like an hour in a half wait between classes that I could be sleeping, poo, but oh well, such is life.  I am enrolled for some math class that I need for my general ed requirement and then a drama class as well to meet the general ed.  I am currently going to school to try and finish up my AS in Business since I finally know what I want to do, not to mention that even just having an AS degree opens up a couple more doors for me business wise and financially.  The only bad part is the lack of classes I can take per term due to my schedule so I wont be done till like early 2013.  But I will get this done, if the world doesn't end any time soon I WILL need this degree in order to achieve the goals that I have set for myself.

Transition!!!!!!!!!!!

We had our in door league tonight and we won, the only downside was I let like five goals go by while I was goalie.  I realize that we won and I should be happy with that but my performance was sub par.  I have always been my worst critic, especially when it comes to sports due to this crazy competitive side that I have.  A lot of times if I don't do well enough to the standards that I have set up in my head then it really doesn't feel like a win at all.  If I have to rely on my teammates to give me goal support so that we can win then I'm not really doing my job as goalie to well.  Right?  Anyways, I really just want to play the team that we played during our first game so that I can redeem myself by not letting them tie it up this time and the game ending in a draw.  That sucked!

And then on to the Gaming side.

Skyrim has been giving me issues as of lately so I checked IGN.com for articles on it and apparently it's not just me getting these issues.  As of recent gamers and other gaming outlets have noticed and logged the game have sever frame rate issues once the file size gets larger and larger.  New games aren't really affected it just seems to be once you pass a certain memory size for your save file.  I know personally I have had slight frame rate issues but the thing that has been bugging me the most is that at times when I exit or enter a house or building the game will freeze on me and I have to reset my PS3.  Now I know that in comparison to real problems like world hunger and other bigger issues this is just a very small if not nothing issue that would only affect a first world country.  But it seems I'm not the only one who this is happening to.  Bethesda(Makers of Skyrim along with Fallout and various other games) has put a patch for the game on the PS3 already but will be issuing even more patches int he weeks and maybe even months to come.  So there is hope that this issue will be fixed, its just waiting for the ISSUE to be fixed that has people perturbed.

Well, that's all for tonight, until next time.

The Power is Absent

So the power went out today at around 12pm due to insane amounts of crazy strong wind but I kind of had a feeling that it was going to happen.  I went to Wal-Mart with my son earlier today after the power went out and I expected to see a bunch of fallen tree's ont he way there, instead I only saw one tree which was barley in the road.  It wasn't till I had awoken from my mid day nap that my wife told me that a huge tree had fallen down near the park in the small town that we live in.  So I am assuming that a lot more tree's fell throughout the county as I was somberly sleeping, this is the culprit ont he power being out even as I type this blog.  I chose the logical choice and sent my wife and the kids to my grandmothers in Modesto to stay there untilt he power returns so that they wont freeze in out house, oh and they probably want electricity and running water as well.  So it is just me now in the now power house living the "bachlore"-esk life, for breakfest will be egg's cooked int he middle of a piece of bread(we have propane so I can still use the burners), lunch will be a cup of instant noodles(my favorite) and I will not eat dinner because I will most likely be sleeping at the time.  Perhaps I will go for a run sometime tomorrow as well, Im not sure yet, we will have to see.

So Terraria finally got its 1.1 update and of course the power goes out the very same day which makes it so that I can not enjoy the fruits of those developers labors.  I have literally been waiting like three months for this update to drop and the day it comes out I am robbed of it's enjoyment, WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Oh well, I will just playt he shit out of it when the power returns.  I will be a slave to it's joyus ways, maybe even it's sex slave.  We will have to wait and see.

Oh and one more thing.  I cant figure out how to get the 3D on my T.V. to work with my PS3, it just keeps moving the picture to the right and the T.V. wont let me adjust the screen when it is in 3D mode and guess what else...
Neither will the damn PS3!!!!!!!!!!  If you know anything about this or can give me any suggestions then that would be much appreciated.  Leave those in the comments, I NEED ALL YOUR HELPS!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate having all of these first world problems^_^

That is all, good bey.
