Halo 2, I love you.
Well it has finally arrived, and I couldn't be more pleased. I played for a good several hours of single player campaign, and it is damn good. I bought the collectors' edition which comes in a really cool metal dvd box, and comes with a very well done dvd disc. You get to play as the covenant, which is pretty damn cool. Now I need to get a couple other halo 2 owners to join me in a lan party.

A couple of memorable quotes taken by the BBC News for a survey of US citizens living in Europe who voted in the election. It really amazes me how some people can be so blind folded. It is very scary. These first three people actually made some sense though. Really. But the rest were just baffling. The questions asked were:
What convinced you to re-elect Bush? What are your hopes for his second term?
"I voted for Bush, so that he can clean up all his mess during his second term. No-one else should be made responsible for all his folly and self-disillusioned war on terror."
-Jaime Stuart
Good point, but I seriously doubt he will fix anything.
"I am saddened that I live in a country of intolerance toward other cultures and beliefs. I am saddened that our country believes it can arrogantly push its ideals of democracy on everybody else. With the erosion of our own civil rights, how can we hope to bring any to those in other countries? As for those who say this president supports Christian values, whatever happened to 'love thy neighbor'? Our country is more concerned with interfering with other people's privacy than actually helping anyone. I hope all you Bush-supporters lose your jobs in the next four years of economic crisis."
-Sara Smith, Atlanta, GA
Oh They Will...
"I wish Bush would resign. As a young American I registered to vote simply to vote against him. Something truly scares me about a man that cannot properly pronounce nuclear having control of the world's largest nuclear armament."
-John Doe, Charlotte, USA
Don't worry, the next President probably won't be able to say Nuclear either. If you listen to many conservative pundits they say it will be THE GOVERNATOR Schwartzenegger. He will have to get the constitution amended, but then he can blow up what's left that Bush didn't. I hope its like his movie The Running Man in the future.
"I voted for Bush to usher in the complete and utter destruction of the United States. Sometimes, you just have to tear it all down and start over again. No one will destroy America faster than Bush. Go Bush!"
-Tim, Los Angeles, CA, USA
Well, that is one way to use your vote effectively.
"Bush is against abortion and that is all that matters to me. That is the only issue I consider and there are a lot of Americans who feel the same way. Some people say it is ignorant to disregard the other issues, and maybe it is, but that is how I feel."
-Bertha, Upstate NY
That is a very Scary Statement!
"I voted for Bush because I am Pro-Life and against gay marriage. Bush stands more for these issues than does the Democratic Party."
-David Schultz, Fenton, Iowa, USA
Good thing that is the only important issue out there cause we will all be unemployed soon enough.
"He is a good man with clarity in his beliefs, and he sets a good example for my children. God Bless President Bush."
-Carrie, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
OK, I don't care who you voted for, that's just scary!
"It does not matter how intelligent you are if you're wise in your own eyes and it doesn't matter how well you are able to speak if your words are clanging cymbals but it does matter who you worship and serve. You are unable to lead and serve others if you do not serve God first."
-Penny, USA
"GOD", bible thumpers really frighten me.
"Gay marriage and abortion are a threat to our culture and security. I voted to preserve the morale values of this country."
-Howard, Chicago, USA
This is true, I was almost killed by a gay abortion doctor... Thank goodness for Bush.
"I disagree with many of his policies and would not have voted for him except for the fact that I am sick and tired of these people telling me that I am not smart enough to figure out for myself what is right and what is wrong. The Republicans should thank Moore and give him a prominent table at the inauguration!"
-Michael C, NY, USA
You showed them how smart you are, way to go Michael! You voted for someone simply because someone who you don't know, doesn't agree with the President's foreign policy. Way to make an informed decision.

I can't even tell you how disappointed in this country I am, this qoute pretty much sums it up....
"One step closer to the end of the world. The one-two combo of corporate greed and organized religion apparently proved to be too much for reason, sanity and compassion.
It's a sad and shameful dat to be an american."

Have you ordered your Halo 2?
Saw this article about Halo 2 presales, already over 1.5 million (my special edition copy included, which is the biggest presale in video game history. Let's all hope this game doesn't dissappoint.

So I am on vacation this week, I haven't taken an actual vacation from all work in like a year. We got our yard finished, Rachelle planted the last of the grass seed, now it is just wait and see. It turned out pretty nice, we did a bunch of landscaping in the front with plants and crap. We took Peyton to the beach, which I haven't been to in like years, which is sad since I live 2 minutes away. She had a blast until a wave came in and we had to run as to not get wet.
I watched several movies this weekend, Four Rooms, Swingers, Monsters Inc. I stayed home with Peyton Monday and Tuesday, and we watched the Indiana Jones trilogy and the star wars trilogy, I forgot how much I liked those movies. What is so cool, is that Peyton really seemed to enjoy the Star Wars movies. I thought she might be afraid of some of the monsters, but not at all. When she saw the Ice monster in Empire she said, "oooh, pretty cool." How neat is that? What makes it even that much more cool, is that she really doesn't like to watch movies, or TV for that matter, but Star Wars is good for all. We watched the Day After Tomorrow last night, makes me want to use tons of aerosol and Styrofoam. Cool effects, soft story.
We played some Xbox the last two days: Tony Hawk Underground 2, Mortal Kombat Deception, ESPN NBA 2K5, Full Spectrum Warrior, Fable, and Sudeki. I have to say I really like Xbox live, not only for the occasional multiplayer, where I get my ass kicked, but for the downloadable content. I downloaded a new level for Full Spectrum warrior, it was good, but damn hard to beat. I finally finished Sudeki, and while I liked the game, the ending totally sucked. You beat the end guy and it rolls the credits, that's it! No story, no FMV, nothing! Oh and the voice acting in that game is horrid.
Today, I am gonna do the recycling, it has taken over 1 side of my garage. I have about 8 garbage bags of cans and bottles in that mess which is good, because it means $$$ for my Halo 2 fund, 26 days to go!
Oh and damn Honda for making their cars secure. Rachelle's battery was dying on the accord, so I went to Schwab to get it replaced, no problem. So I get back in the car to leave and there is a weird message on the stereo, and the disc has been spit out. So I try to get the disc to go back in and press a bunch of buttons until the message changes and now it does nothing. Turns out that if the battery is disconnected the stereo goes into security mode and can only be used again after the security code is reentered. This is bad, because I forgot about the damn code. I did finally find it, but apparently I entered in the wrong code too many times when I was pushing buttons, and now it is locked out. The only way to fix it is to let it be on for over an hour then you can try the code again. Are you kidding me? An hour, not only is this a long time to sit in the car, but it is a damn long time to be in the car with no music. Honda will pay for this. I kid you not.
