So yesterday was my last day of school ever! But it was also one of the worst nights ever, not only for me, but my whole class!

The graduation thing was very poorly planned, plus it had to be held inside because of the weather. So it wasn't too glorious. It didn't even feel good to get our diplomas because everything was just done wrong.

But the real reason I wanted to write this blolg is because of what happened after graduation. Every year there is a party at school, on the night of graduation, for seniors only. It goes from 9:00 PM to 4:00 AM, and is supposed to be a great night - one last thing for us to do to remember each other.

Well, it sucked! There was really only two activities (BlackJack and an inflatable obstacle course), the food was disgusting, the hypnotist wasn't really funny, and the prizes were ridiculous! Microwaves, backpacks, camping gear, free tans, shampoo sets.... and these were the "good" prizes! What idiot planned this party! It was horrible and everyone left pissed.

And as if the people who planned that party didn't ruin our night enough, some stupid juniors decided to window chalk a bunch of our cars. They didn't get mine, but I was still pissed with the rest of my class. Thanks to those stupid juniors, our last memories together was everyone screaming at each other in the parking lot.

The two activities were fun, but why did they only have two?! They did have karaoke, basketball, and volleyball, but nobody wanted to do those. It seems like it took them an hour to plan this entire thing, including the prizes, even though they supposedly spent about six months on it.

They had idiots planning our graduation, and a bigger idiots planning our graduation party, so the whole day pretty much sucked. A day we're supposed to remember forever, and nobody wants to remember any part of it!

Xbox 360

Another huge disappointment yesterday was my new Xbox 360. SInce it's a newer model, it has those new chips which are supposed to be cooler, quieter, and overall more reliable. Well, guess what, that's just another lie from Microsoft! It may be quieter, but not enough to even tell the defference! I still can't hear my TV over that thing! It's ridiculous how loud those things are!

I'm still happy to have it though, just because I want to play Grand Theft Auto IV.

My Xbox 360 froze up while I was playing Grand Theft Auto IV, so I had to reset it. Now it won't play any Xbox 360 games (it tries to play them as DVDs), or Xbox games (just keeps saying "Reading..." and makes a grinding noise). The weird thing is that it will still play DVDs.

Anyways, I called Microsoft, and they said I'll have to send it in, and since it's out of warranty, I'll have to pay $100 for it. I was reading some posts about other people who sent theirs in, and they say it takes about a month before a new console arrives.

This couldn't have happened at a worse time, either. Two days after I get Grand Theft Auto IV - the biggest game of the entire generation, and a game I've been waiting for for over two years.

Update:

My mom was talking to my uncle about this, and he said that his friend sent in his Xbox 360 and ended up getting scammed. They said it would cost him $100 to send it in since it was out of warranty (same thing they told me), but what they didn't tell him is that that was only to send it in to get looked at. After they looked at it they called him and told him how much it would cost for the repair.

So, my mom said it would probably be better to just buy a new console. The Arcade version is only $280, and comes with the new chipset (cooler, quieter, and no RROD problems), plus another controller, so that's what I'm going to get. As for my old 360, my dad's going to take a look at it, and if he can fix it I'm going to sell it.

My computer stopped working last week, so we took it in to Best Buy to get it checked out.. They said the motherboard was damaged and the power supply wasn't working correctly. To replace both of them, it would cost around $300-$350, plus they didn't know if there were any other problems, so it wouldn't even be worth it. They recommended we just get a new computer instead, so that's what we're going to do.

I'm very excited about getting a new computer! The new computer will have a 2.2 GHz dual-core processor, 2 GB RAM, 500 GB hard drive, a DVD burner and Windows Vista Premium!

Today (March 8th) is also my 18th birthday, so this will be a nice little present for me.

Just before I posted this blog, I finally completed Tony Hawk's Project 8! I didn't just get into Project 8, I got to rank 1, completed every single goal on sick, and I've gotten every achievement except the all gaps one, which I will get tonight (only a few gaps left to get). This is one of the hardest games ever, if not the hardest, which is why I'm so excited that I completed it. The only disappointing part is that this game isn't as hard as it is because the challenges are difficult, but because there are so many bugs in the game that it's barely even playable. In my opinion, this game does not belong in stores, they should've spent a few more months testing this game, and fixing the bugs, because I have never seen this many bugs in a game before! What's worse is that Neversoft never even bothered to make a patch for it.

But I'm still very happy I have completed the game, this is definitely an achievement to be proud of. I can remember when I first started playing this game, how I couldn't even complete most of the challenges on pro yet. I've improved tremendously since then though, and I was now able to complete every goal on sick, something I never thought I'd be able to do. This game does a great job of showing you how much your gaming skills improve throughout the game, and I really like that.

This was definitely a great day for me. And tomorrow I will start on yet another major achievement - Completing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas to 100%. I've already gotten 98% or 99% on it, but I have to start an entirely new game since I can't get to 100% on that file because I used some cheats (I used the jetpack cheat many times for quick transportation, and I used the weather and time cheats a few times. I also used the health and money cheat when I first started the game). I'm guessing that will take me about two months to complete since San Andreas is such a huge game.

I just wanted to make a quick blog to tell all of you that I finally got Xbox Live gold. If you want to challenge me to either Tony Hawk's Project 8 or Need for Speed Most Wanted, please send me a message.

Well, Christmas finally came and went! For Christmas I got an Xbox 360 and Tony Hawk's Project 8, which is exactly what I wanted. The Xbox 360 also came with a free bonus game, Need for Speed Most Wanted. I already had that game for PS2, but it's still cool because it was free. I also got a case for my new MP3 player (2.0 GB Sansa e250r), a $20 Best Buy gift card, and $50.

So I had a great Christmas! I'm still trying to figure out some things about my Xbox 360, but I'm going to go ask my questions in the Xbox 360 forum soon.

If any of you have Xbox Live, my gamertag is Dziggy. Feel free to add me if you want, but please send me a message first so I know who you are. You can see my gamertag lower in my profile.

Edit: I thought I would get one month of Xbox Live gold for free with my Xbox 360, but I guess I didn't. So that means I won't be able to play against any of you until I do get Xbox Live gold (which will either be today or on the weekend).
