He was born today at 10:42 am. He weighed 7lbs 1.4 oz and was 21 inches long. ![]()

I have a couple more pictures under images. His name is Christopher Michael and both him and the mother are doing fine.
Yup, so I haven't posted anything new in awhile, so I thought I'd throw out an update.
MGS 4 is pretty fricking sweet! Lets get that out of the way first. I've played through the single player campaign a couple times. The online hasn't really kept me interested. I guess because I'm so "susceptible to head shots". Never really liked playing online anyway, never have the time to get that good.
Wife's still pregnant...though that will probably end sometime next week. We'll see what the doctors say tomorrow.
Finished putting in leather seats, a short throw shifter, underdrive pullies, hypertech tuner and a few other odds and ends into my car. Waiting on a new front amp right now, my old one caught fire.........
Glad to hear about Jack Thompson, he should spend some time in jail truthfully, falsifying documents and statements.
The new SW: The Force Unleashed trailor is out and looking promising can't wait for that one.
As I'm sure you all know, Australia has banned sales of Fallout 3, which is retarded and someone should fight that. "When a Government censors content based on the opinions of the minority, the majority should find a new government."
And lost that $40 back in poker
Wishing you all my very best!!!
I haven't been playing too many video games lately. Aside from random posts to various blogs and working long hours I've been working on my car. I've had my car (a '97 Ford Mustang GT) for about 4-5 years and last year I bought a truck ('04 Ford F150), so my car's been sitting in the garage waiting for me to fix all the stuff that's wrong with it. In the interest of saving money due to rising gas prices I decided to do just that. I like to do most of the work myself and usually only take it to the shop for things that I don't have the tools or equipment to do in my garage. So far I've done a complete brake Job (rotors and pads), replaced the headlights, right side mirror, ignition coils, spark plugs, and wires. I've had to take it in for my Reverse light switch and took it to Best Buy to have a new radio put in. I have Leather seats and corner lights on order, and I'm currently trying to save up enough to get a paint job, but due to exterior damage that's going to be expensive. I'll try and post pictures when it's all done.
My wife is due July 19th and I've been spending even more money on baby stuff, and I've been trying to clear out our spare bedroom to make a nursery. You wouldn't believe the crap you accumulate over a few years.
Trying to keep up my workout routine as well, but that's fallen behind, though not as bad as it could have.
And won $40 at poker last night. ![]()
Well see ya'll in the blogs

And for those who were curious, the game my last blog was referring to was Lair, so if you didn't like Lair when it first came out, read that review and see if it'll change your opinion.
I sometimes question why I write reviews on Gamespot. I'm not the best gamer in the world, and I don't like to write reviews until I've spent enough time with a game to form a valid opinion. Usually after I have beaten it. Work, and other considerations, make it so that I post my review after everyone has already formed an opinion of the game, so it doesn't seem beneficial to anyone.
At least, that was what I thought until earlier today. I wrote a review for a game when it was originally released, and, as always, my review was buried somewhere in the middle and didn't get much attention. That game had a recent update released and the update changed the game enough that I thought I should change my review, so I did, promoting the changes to the game.
I recieved a message from another Gamespot user this morning, telling me that, though they had heard bad reviews about the game, and other people had cautioned them not to play it, after reading my review they went out and rented the game, to try it after the new update, and they said they had enjoyed the game thoroughly, and thanked me for my review.
This message absolutely made my day. It's not as if my review had the effect of changing everyone's opinion, but because that one person went out, and found something that they enjoyed that they might never have tried, it made the time spent playing the game, twice, writing, and re-writing the review, entirely worth it.
So I'll conclude with a thank you to that person for their kind words, and continue to write a review for games that I play, knowing that though some of my reviews may not be read, or agreed with, that there's always the chance of helping another person make a choice that brings enjoyment.
