Last To Fall
This is a band from Astoria, they are pretty decent. They played the Warped Tour this summer and are currently playing gigs around the area. Definately check em out if you get the chance. Their drummer Tory works for me he's a good guy. They have hard edged sound with a female lead, that really gives it a different feel. Go Listen.

Ok, haven't posted in over a month, really don't want to, but the pressure of not posting is getting too great. Had a great time with Jeremy B, modded jeremy's xbox, put an ass load of games on JB's new enlarged xbox harddrive, fucking wish sweet tits dan would have come down for the class reunion, had a great time seeing the rest of the group, bought a new 50" hd plasma tv, played lots of xbox on the big tv with JB, had my 8th wedding anniversary, My daughter rocks...she sings the chorus to "The Hand that Feeds" by Nine Inch Nails! Stressed as all hell at work, bought a new Razr phone and plan, Sold my old 50" tv for $300 bones, part of my lawn died in the shape of a perfect giant rectangle, my brother rob came down and we played xbox with Jeremy B, JB went back to Japan after spending nearly every day at my house for 2 weeks...which made me very sad, JB spread fucking spam to my blog, downloaded and am listening to the new Staind album which is very good..." Please is the best song on the CD, will be putting on a Kids Safety Day event with the Fire Dept, Police,& the Coast Guard, at the store this Saturday, told dish network who's boss...and got my way!, I have come to the conclusion that FX is the best damn cable channel out there now that I have found a favorite new show called "Starved", also watched 30 Days, and Over There two other great shows on the same chanel, and I think that is about it.

This morning, I got a call from my boss, he told me that a very good friend and my Head Clerk at the Store hit and killed a 23 year old Astoria girl after leaving a bar in town at 2 am last night. I don't even know what to feel in this situation. He is such a good guy, and it is not like him to get drunk at all...But he killed someone!! His whole life is over, he faces a minimum of 6 years in prison, all because of a few beers... Makes me wonder why anyone would drink and drive. I feel extremely bad for the family of the girl, and I can't help but feel bad for Rick. I never thought I would feel bad for a drunk driver after my Aunt Lisa was killed by one when she was 19. I was wrong, he is a good man, who made a horrible mistake, and will spend the rest of his life having to live with himself. Everyone at work is a wreck, we have a grief counselor coming to the Store tomorrow to help. All I can say is that I am just in shock... I just don't know what to think.

Holy Shit! My Blog works! It has been almost a month since I have been able to access my blog or anyone else's for that matter. Don't know why, but now all of a sudden I can. Weird, cause other people could.
Lets see, what's new? Took a vacation from work, Peyton was sick almost the entire time. So I basically just held her for a week in my arms. I was actually off for Father's Day so Rachelle let me sleep in. I woke up went into the living room and Peyton said, "Happy Father's Day Daddy..I love you." Now if that doesn't just kick your ass, there might be something wrong with ya. Her latest thing is to tell Rachelle and I, I miss you Daddy, or I miss you mommy. It breaks your heart. If I could work out of the house, I totally would. We went to the beach for Fathers day which was a lot of fun even when Peyton took a header face first into the sand. We had a great time playing in the sand and then went home and did yard work. It was really nice.
Last weekend I went to Eugene and saw Nathan, Dan, and Rob, which was great and a lot of fun. Went to my sister's college graduation, which I am unbelievable proud of. Got home and realized my face was sunburned on one side from sitting in the bleachers in the sun, I even had lines from my sunglasses.
I had my xbox modded. Found a guy in Monmouth, Oregon and begged and pleaded until he said I could come down and have it done. He did, and I am very happy with it. He put a software mod with a external switch, so that I can still do xbox live by just flipping the switch, which makes it as if there is no mod at all. I also had him put my 250 gb hard drive in so that I would have plenty of room for games. I have it linked up to my network, and I can watch movies from my computer, look at pics from my comp, play mp3s or playlists from itunes, and do internet stuff, all thru my xbox wireless network connection. Not to mention play burned games. Rented Star Wars Episode 3 for Xbox and beat it. It is actually a lot of fun for a hack and slash game. Not much substance, and not very long. But you can unlock some cool playable characters like, yoda, darth vader, and General Grevous. I also rented Destroy All Humans for xbox, which is also fun. It is a campy 50's era game where you play a little grey alien that sounds like Jack Nicholson and likes to suck the brains out of people. It is very funny.
Then the day I went back to work, last Monday, I started getting sick as hell. Started with a soar throat, then I got the fever, aches and pains, congestion, all around feeling like crap to go along with the now horribly painful soar throat. I had Thursday off, and did not even get out of bed except to eat very little for dinner. Still felt sick yesterday (Monday 6/27) and my throat was still horrible, but the fever and other crap was gone for the most part, so I took a sick day and stayed in bed. I feel a bit better today and the soar throat is lessening. So hopefully I am about done with this crap. Summer is not the time to be sick damn it.
Watched Hostage with Bruce Willis, which is a bad ass (though dark and very bloody) flick. Rent it today. I also rented Coach Carter with Sam Jackson, very motivational, and Hitch (Will Smith) which was pretty funny.
Found out that Nine Inch Nails is finally coming to Portland, on September 24th, with Queens of the Stone Age and Autolux, so you can bet your sweet ass I will be at the Rose Garden that night. Let me know if you want to catch the show with me. I think Rob and I are going so far. Trent released the master file for The Hand That Feeds last may, so that people could make their own remix with Apple Garageband, and people submitted over 500. They have got it down to the top 40 you can download with bit torrent. There are some damn good remixes here. Trent released the masterfile last week for the next single "Only", in both PC and Mac formats, if I had more time and knew what the hell I was doing I would try it.
And finally, Rachelle got a call from a friend at the Bank of Astoria, to let her know that a Credit card processing center had been hacked and that they would have to reissued her debit card with a new number. No big deal, cause I have my checking account at The Safeway Credit Union. So on Sunday I got to lunch at a restaurant up the street and give them my debit card, and the girl says, "Sorry but it comes up cancelled." I tell her to run it again, cause there is no way it cancelled and she runs it again with the same result. So embarrassed I give her another card which works fine. Then when I got back to the store I called and checked my balance and had plenty of money in my acct, so I try to use it at the store, and it works fine even lets me get cash back. So the next day Rachelle tries to use it somewhere and it comes up cancelled again. Then she uses it at the Post Office and goes right thru. She tells me, but I forget about it until I go to Dairy Queen for ice cream to soothe my soar throat and I get the damn cancelled message again. I call my bank and she says, "Oh...Did we call you this weekend?" I tell her that I never got a call and she tells me that I was one of 500 people at the bank that had to have new debit cards issued due to the same thing that happened to my wife's card. Damn I am pissed, cause now neither one of us has a card, and I don't like to write checks. God Damn Hackers.
I saw this on G4 the other day, and it is some of the most hilarious messed up cartoons I have ever seen. It is called Happy Tree Friends, and features really cute animal cartoons getting horrible disfigured. Check it out, you can even rent them on DVD.
Well it's almost the July 4th, which means I am busy as all hell at work, can't wait for that to be over. Work is incredibly stressful, but we are doing tremendously well. Robert, my boss, and I seem to be the power team. We are just about the top store at everything, service, sales, etc. Which feels damn good. Now if I could just work less than 50-60 hours a week, I would be very happy.
That's pretty much it.

Offensive W
NIN pulled the plug on their scheduled performance next week during the MTV Movie Awards due to the network's uneasiness with a back drop of George Bush during the song, "The Hand That Feeds". This song is "a warning against blind acceptance of authority, including that of a president leading his nation to war." Yet another reason not to watch that lame ass network.
"Nine Inch Nails will not be performing at the MTV Movie Awards as previously announced. We were set to perform "The Hand That Feeds" with an unmolested straightforward image of George W Bush as the backdrop. Apparently the image of our president is as offensive to MTV as it is to me."

Well it was only a matter of time before Square-Enix caved and brought Final Fantaxy to Xbox. Looks pretty nice on the xbox 360! Here are a couple of other nice trailers for the 360 from E3.
