Well not much to post about lately thus the lack of posts, I want to do so more top 10's and bring back the Random Mame Review but just haven't been motivated. As Sam and I like to say...Ive had a series case of the "blahs". This was supposed to be a very exciting time coming up with moving into the house and our one year anniversary but since the house got pushed back to June it has kind of sapped me. Not to mention work has been crazy lately I worked almost 2 hours extra tonight because the severe weather we had here in Georgia wreaked some havoc on our refrigeration and I had to stay and help try and save our product. Work has been getting better it seems like they really want to promote me and are trying to get me as prepared as possible, the finalist list should be out in a month or two and hopefully I make it this time. Though if I don't I learned that it doesn't mean I cant be promoted so I wont get to down if I'm not on it. My managers know that I am one of the top performers and have been told more than once that they breath easier when I am there because they know they don't have to worry about things being taken care of properly, if that doesn't get me promoted I don't know what will.
On the sports front sadly all my teams are either done or playing like schlock. The Jazz put up a game effort against the Kobe's but it just wasn't meant to be, had the refs actually called fouls properly the series might have been different but life goes on. I will say this if the Jazz can keep the core they have built and add a piece here and there (mostly a more low post type of center to compliment Okur better) I think they can make a serious run for the title. The Stars got ousted by Detroit in the Western finals though they made a series out of it after going down 3-0. Add the Grizzlies rode an upset wave all the way to the conference finals but came up just a little short against the best team in the conference. As for my Mets...they are so hit and miss this year that I just don't know how I feel about their chances. They can look great one day and like they team that made the epic collapse last year the next. Take this weekend for example they go into Yankee Stadium and throttle the Yankee's for 2 games, then come to Atlanta and lose both games of a double header quite soundly. You just cant play 500 ball all year and expect to make the playoffs. I think that they are on the verge of turning the corner if they can just show up and play every day like they are capable of playing, it will help getting Pedro back in June and it seems like Wright, Reyes and Delgado seem to be breaking out of their respective slumps....perhaps they stole Jason Giambi's thong while they were at Yankee Stadium.
On the gaming front I have way to many new things to play since my birthday. Sam (the most awesomest wife in the world) bought me a Nintendo DS, and I got a bunch of games for it (Legend of Zelda, New Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart, Advance Wars, Mr. Driller, Nintendogs, True Swing Golf) and I am loving all of them mostly hooked on True Swing and Mario Kart at the moment. She also (despite her vocal protests of the game) got me Grand Theft Auto IV I haven't delved all that deep into it yet but from what I have played this is truly a break thru game there is so much more to it than people think, it really isn't all about the violence. for instance early on in the story you are tasked with picking up a girl your cousin works with. When you pick her up she has one of her friends with her, and you and the friend hit it off and you wind up going on a date with her and going bowling, Now I don't think to many people would expect to find that in a GTA game and that's what makes it so good....it surprises you more than you would expect.
sorry if this post lacked my usual flair (with pictures and such) I just dont have it in me tonight....LOL.....well I probably should attempt to get some sleep as I have got another long work day ahead tomorrow.....
