Lazy

I'm sorry I've been absent for the past couple weeks. WoW has really gotten a hold of me and I can't seem to break it. I'm getting better though, that's a plus! I've read your blogs, just haven't commented, because when I do get time away from WoW, I'm generally on short time and I have enough time to check my e-mail and read your blogs!

I'm asking you all continue to bare with me! I'm trying hard to get back into youtube.

Level 80!

Finally, I got it. Woot. I haven't played since the last couple minutes of hitting 80, so I can see myself calming down a bit and get my act together for youtube. I'm very sorry I've been so lazy lately. I'm working on it!

Just wanted to leave a quick update!

Sad.

It's sad that I haven't done much with youtube or have been paying enough attention to my blog. I've been obsessed with WoW and I can't seem to break it. We have been dead at work, so I downloaded WoW with the two expansions and have been playing it while I don't have anything to do. I think once I hit 80, things will calm back down, but I'm only at level 77. I'm also pushing hard to get the 5k gold to get a epic flying mount. I've got two big goals and a lot of determination. Sorry, I am trying to pull myself away from WoW to upload that video.

I saw something about Hancock in Tiff's blog. Hancock was great for the first half of the movie, when they added the "twist" I think that's where it got a bit ridiculous and started to die down. Still was a fun movie and one I'll watch again as I really love Will Smith movies.

Fran - I'll work on getting you a WoW video together. Should be easy considering thats all I've been doing.

Good news, I'll be 21 in 3 months. I'm pretty excited about it. Wooooot.

It's Cold.

Yeah, it's -11 degrees outside. It's so cold, that when you breath, it takes your breath away or when you sniff, your nose hairs feel like they are instantly freezing. I hate snow and I hate ICE. I left work early(like 11am early) on Wednesday because of the snow storm that was hitting and then roads were terrible Thursday, so I got that day off as well.

I've been just relaxing, catching up on sleep and playing video games. I'm almost level 74 in WoW on my mage and I've been playing Saint's Row 2. I'm really enjoying that game! I LOVED Saint's Row, so naturally I wasn't too worried about the sequel being bad. They took everything they did right with Saint's Row and added a bunch of new cool shit(customizing your gangs-cars/people, ect). More of a personal character creator this time around, I'm loving it.

I'm sore as hell from working out. I watched Boondock Saints last night before going to bed. I love that movie, such a great movie!

Anyways, I don't have much else to say. I'm currently getting the patches for WoW on my work computer(HAHA!). Hopefully it will run on this computer(it's got the memory and a decent video card) - knock on wood.

See you all later!

-Matt-

Recorded a video, just need to upload it.

Yup, I did the a tour of the inside of my house and what I bought with giftcards from Christmas. Hopefully, I'll stop being lazy and upload it tonight.

I'm tired and out of energy, bleh.

Short weekend

Does anyone else feel as if the weekend flew by, kind of like it didn't even come?

I've gotten mostly through all the seasons of the Office. I'm on disk 2(of 4) of Season 4(last season on DVD). I love this show, anyone who hasn't seen it has to check it out. It's so hilarious and Steve Carrell is not even the funny character. If anything, he is more annoying in the show than anything.

Brittany made me go see Bride Wars this weekend. Let me sum this movie up in two words: BORING/STUPID. If your a woman, you'll probably like it, especially Tiff because of the fact she will be getting married soon, but seriously..it sucked.

I am playing in a dodgeball league at our YMCA, I don't remember if I mentioned that. It was fun. Our team sucked, but I still had a blast and I did pretty good, considering I am so out of shape. It's not to release built up aggression on people and throw the ball as hard as I can at them.

I had to work on Saturday. Bleh. I got shocked a couple times on one of the beds and after I got it back together without electricuting myself to death, I said fuck it after the 4th hour I worked and said I'll be back later on this week.

Got to level 72 on my mage in WoW. Woot.

Haven't done any console gaming for some reason, I just can't get myself to play anything, I'm not sure why. I'm sure its just a small phase, but I'm ready for it to be over.

Anyways, I hope everyone had a good weekend.

-Matt-

Thank God It's Friday!

I am still dragging from my 2 week break off work. I'm tired all the damn time because I never slept during my break.

So, I worked out at the gym yesterday. I did 14+ miles on the bike at the gym and suprisingly, my legs arn't that sore. I also lifted weights a bit and my arms are sore, haha.

Brittany wanted to do a dodgeball league at the YMCA(our gym) and that is on Friday nights, so tonight is our first game/match. I really don't know how to play dodgeball, I'm pretty sure I just throw the ball at people, try not to get hit and catch it if possible? Regardless, it will be a nice active activity.

Tomorrow I have to work at my second job, but it is at my wifes store and she is working tomorrow, so it won't be bad. I don't mind working on stuff when she is there because I get to talk to her. I haven't gotten to spend much time with her these past few days, because she has been working a shit ton. She has closing shifts, Monday-Wednesday and also had to work Wednesday morning(8:45am-10:15pm). That was a very long day for her and I feel bad for her, she deserves some relaxation. She also works 8:45am-4:45ish Thursday/Friday. I, on the other hand, just have worked 8-3ish through the week, except Tuesday, which I worked at my second job until 7:30pm. Otherwise, I've just been lazy because I have been so damn tired.

We watched a movie last night called December Boys starring Daniel Radcliff(I think that's his last name-dude from Harry Potter). It wasn't too bad, it was a watch once but never own movie.

Florida won the National Championship and I hate Florida with a passion. I got a text at midnight from one of my best friends gloating, because he is a Florida fan and hates Ohio State. Needless to say, I haven't been able to talk shit because the last time we played them, they demolished us in the National Championship 41-14 and now they just won another.

The only advantage I have over him is we have 7 national championships and they have 3 total. Keeps him shut up for awhile, but they are inching close!

Anyways, I most likely won't post in here until the weekend is over, unless something cool/neat/frustrating, ect happens for me to talk about.

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

Lazy Night

So, last night after work I went home and layed down for a quick nap. I was planning on going to the gym to work out and then come home to watch Duke vs Davidson at 7pm. That didn't happen, I fell asleep at 4pm and woke up at 7:30pm. I did get to see some of the Duke game, so it wasn't too bad.

I played WoW for a little bit and I am at level 71 and I'm half way through it. Leveling to 80 is going to take me forever!

I watched the movie, In the Name of the King with Jason Stathem(SP?), he is the lead male character in the Transporter movies. Pretty good movie, I enjoyed it.

Well, that was my quick and short update.

Self Reflection

I made a quick VLOG, that I want to upload tonight hopefully. Basically, just showed what I bought with my giftcards from Christmas.

So, Monday was a pretty easy day. Work was actually a little busy for once and the day flew by. My Ohio State Buckeyes played the Texas Longhorns. Buckeyes were predicted to get smashed, but only lost 24-21. I'm very proud of our team. Both of my teams went down(Sunday and Monday) but I've never been more proud.

I got yelled at Monday because I started screaming at the TV. I think the Buckeyes got screwed on a couple big calls, but hey..whatever. Anyways, the ref made a terrible call and I got up and threw my control into the couch. Brittany told me, "If you can't watch the game like a normal person, I'm turning it off." Does anyone else get like this? I've got a bad temper and I get pissed off over silly stuff, but I'm passionate about my hobbies. I remember screaming about every curse word you could imagine at the refs during that game, my wife replied with, "You tell it babe, I'm sure those referees can hear you through the TV." I love my wife more than she could ever imagine, but she likes to give a little nudge to fire me up more.

I think she is learning that I need to get all my frustration and screaming out before she says anything though, haha. I was playing CoD: WaW when I bought it and I remember cussing at the TV and she got upset with me, but kept saying stuff to me that irritated me more, for example: "What's the point of being pissed off at your game, it won't do anything." I have a serious anger issue toward video games or sports when I play/watch them. I think I've gotten better over the years, but I can get pretty bad. I don't break shit or harm anyone, I just scream and yell at the TV. Anyone else like this? I've got serious issues, haha.

Last night I worked a long day. Got to work at 9am, because when I left my house at 7:40am, I got to work really late because icy rain was hitting and there were wrecks like every 15 minutes. I sat still on the freeway for a good 45+ minutes. I usually get to work between 8am-8:15am when I leave at 7:40am, to get there at 9am, sucked.

So after my first job, I had to go to Bronze Tan Studios to fix shit for them and didn't get to leave until 7:30pm and got home at 8pm. LOOONG day. It's worth it, sometimes I think, the stress and issues this job brings me isn't worth it, until I look at how much I am making just while Brittany has a closing shift. This next check will be enough to cover the leak(I have to pay to have the sink removed so they can get to the pipe that is causing the issue, that's $125) and it will cover the amount I need to do the basement the way my step dad drew it up.

Even after a long day, I couldn't go to sleep. I went to bed at 2am, because I ended up watching, The Kingdom with Jaime Foxx and Jennifer Garner. Pretty good movie, pretty much about terrorism, I liked it a lot.

So, here I am now..dead tired writing in my blog. I'm going to try to upload that video and do my first video game review on who knows. Maybe Spiderman: Web of Shadows since I beat it already.

Take care everyone!

Ugh..Back to Work

My alarm went off at 7:25am this morning and I thought to myself, FUCK..back to work. For the past two weeks I have been up all night between the times of 4am-6am until going to bed, then waking back up between the times of 11am-1pm. It's been great. Not worrying about getting up early and just doing whatever you want, aside from household chores and I did work at my second job once.

These past two weeks have been great though, I can't complain about it, aside from the LEAK THAT CAME BACK. I mean, come on, can't my wife and I get atleast ONE FUCKING BREAK? Welcome to owning a house, is all I've heard from just about everyone. Thanks for letting me know, haha.

Anyways, perhaps I should make this more of a positive post, yeah? Christmas came, which was a blessing. I love Christmas time, because of the celebration of Jesus' birth(if you arn't religious, you can disregard this), the GIVING season and just being with your family.

-I've seen my family a lot these past two weeks. My sister came to stay with the wife and I for two days. That was a lot of fun. We got her a really neat Joker t-shirt from Hot Topic.

-I saw my Dad/step-mom/step-sister on multiple occassions. We had a lot of fun! We celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve. My dad made everyone his FAMOUS fruit salad. That shit is so damn good, I could eat it daily. We enjoyed our Christmas tradition, which is watching A Christmas Carol. My sister was even there on Christmas Eve. We exchanged our gifts, which were(going to list theirs because I've made a video about everything I've received):

Dad: Step Brothers(DVD), A Few Good Men(DVD) and a Duke Bluedevils T-Shirt.
Step-Mom: Pair of Ohio State Buckeyes sleep pants and a candle from Bath and Body Works.
Step-Sister: Scene It: Movie Edition(2nd Edition)

It sucks because we couldn't afford more this year. That's the only thing that sucked about Christmas, we couldn't afford what we usually do. We ate New Years dinner with them as well. It was gooooood. Pork/Sauerkrout(SP?) and I think Mashed Potatoes. I have a bad memory. I do remember, it being GOOOD. Before I go into the last thing I visited with them about..

I saw my Dolphins make it into the playoffs after going 1-15 the year before. I've never been so proud of my team. I've always worn my colors proud regardless of record and this year we won our division after going 11-5! A year to remember!

So, naturally..I went to my Dads yesterday to root them on in their first playoff game! We were very excited and pumped. In my heart, I knew my Dolphins most likely wouldn't see past game 1 of the playoffs, but I would be proud regardless. We were beat, wait, let me rephrase it, destroyed by the Baltimore Ravens, 27-9. Ah well, I'm more proud of my team than you could ever know, I just wish Chad Pennington didn't suck donkey balls(he threw 4 INT's that cost us the game), but regardless, he did get us to the playoffs.

The best highlight of yesterday? My step-moms FAMOUS lazagna. THAT SHIT IS GOOD. I've been asking forever for it and she came through and DOMINATED.

I'm thankful daily that I've regained the relationship I once had with my dad. I've missed him.

The greatest thing that I could ask for during my two week break was the fact I got to spend a lot more time with my wife. I love being with her and she brings out the best in me. It's never a dull moment with her and we always find ways to make things fun! I'd be nothing without her.

Boss is yelling to get back to work. I wanted to write more!

Obcessive?

I just beat Spiderman: Web of Shadows this morning. I played that game on and off a lot for the past 2-3 days. I LOVE this game and I highly recommend it to anyone.

I have to back through the game for a second time because you can choose to be a bad Spidey or a good one. I went good the first time around. Got to be evil now. That will be on the back burner though as I have a shit load of games to play while juggling WoW into the picture.

Sorry blogs have been dry, this holiday break has been awesome and I normally do blogs at work(been off for close to two weeks). Enjoying it!

Happy New Years!
