Plus the PS3 plays blu ray which is seriously AMAZING! Too bad my old DVD/home theater surround system is a couple years old and doesn’t have an optical or coaxial input to hook the PS3 up to it…so until I replace that I don’t have surround sound. :frowning:

josh yano what u might like to go with that, those boomshock chairs. THose are the chairs that are like round shaped and u sit in it while u play games but the cool thing is. It has really good speakers on the side so it sounds sick and it vibrates all the time. SO for instance if u shoot someone the chair will start shaking its sick haha[/quote]

As cool as that sounds…I went with the PS3 over the XBOX 360 primarily because of the Blu Ray (and the reliability, etc) and therefore I really want full digital 5.1 surround when I’m watching Blu Ray movies…it completes the experience. =)

I feel you on the work thing man. I had to work 9 hours on Christmas Eve, missed the gym because I couldn’t get out early, instead I worked OT and I’m at work today and will probably be working at least 9 hours today too.

I work in foreclosures incase you’re curious why I’m so damn busy all the time at work.

Yeah, I bet your ass is pretty busy with all these people defaulting on their loans. Dang.

Its actually ridiculous…unless you work with it you don’t realize how bad it is. I work for like THE biggest default company in California and even with the amount of employees we have we get SLAMMED. Sometimes we will have like 2000 orders come in in a single day. Each order is a mortgage of some kind being foreclosed on.

My company basically handles the foreclosures for the banks, its actually cheaper for banks to outsource it to us rather than doing it in-house.

My last 3 pay periods (1/2 months) have had at least 13+ hours of OT each. And that’s only because I choose not to ever work past 6pm, I could do more OT if I chose…but working past 6pm really starts to F with my gym schedule. I come in an hour early, take a 1/2 lunch and stay an hour late when we are really busy. [/quote]

That’s just insane. 2,000 a day? You are right, I don’t think anyone outside of your line of work knows how bad it is. I sure as hell didn’t.

I still don’t understand how anyone can afford to buy a home in California.

Not 2000 a day, but that would be a busy day. I would guestimate around 600-1000 a day on a normal day. Anything over 1000/day is pretty busy.

They are cheap right now! lol

Actually I’m hoping to get the rest of my credit cards taken care of within the year so I can buy a condo. You can get a decent condo in my area (which is a nicer, more wanted area) for around 130k. Smaller houses in similar areas for around 300k.

My GF is only 24 and her and her brother (23) bought a house together since they are down right now. They both work at the same company as me actually. lol

I played WoW, wasn’t into it…only lasted a few months before I was bored and quit. It was too easy compared to EQ, ended up quiting WoW and switching to EQ2. I also don’t dig the super cartoon style graphics. EQ2 > WoW big time, especially for PVP, raiding, etc. WoW just has more subscribers because of all the kids. That’s another thing, WoW attracted kids and EQ/EQ2 seemed to attract a more mature crowd…I hated most of the people on WoW but have people I still talk to through AIM all the time who I met in EQ2.

Still, $300,000, that’s nuts. We bought our house for a little over $100,000 and it’s a 3BR, 1 Bath. Of course, we live in Wisconsin but still…

Lol I guess I didn’t realize just how cheap houses are outside of CA…300,000 sounds good here. lol

But her house is 3 bedroom, 2 bath, big barkyard, etc…its a nice house. But yeah 100,000 sounds better! lol

more deloading today, i have to say this shit is fucking gay. my whole forte is training to failure - its the only ive ever trained since i started. and now as soon as i start to feel a little tension im like oh no, i cant strain myself ITS A DELOAD!

today was legs

hammer strength leg press

2 plates, 17 or 20
2 plates, i didnt bother counting.

pull throughs
132x10 or so
132x8 or so

squats
135x12ish
135xsame
135xsame

hack squat

2 platesx10

somehow my legs were actually exhausted after this pathetic workout. i felt like such a huge pussy getting winded doing sets of 12 with 135.

whatever, this is my last week of this bullshit and im ramping everything up again. and just for the grand finally im going to pass on deadlifts on Tues n end up doing t-bar or some bullshit just to really give my CNS a break. ive been deadlifting for like 7 weeks straight.

3251

oh i almost forgot to mention my christmas shit.

aunt got me this Burberry London set of the cologne, body wash and aftershave.

she also gave me a 50 dollar gift certificate

mom got me a blender and a wallet which i needed and batman: dark knight some other things too.

the christmas presents i ordered for myself finally came today and one of the things was also a shirt i got for my brother, it has Lil Wayne and E.T. and it says “BFF” under it. one of the jeans i got is fucking rediculously tiny, they said regular fit but i guess regular means “skinny jeans” these days. the other pair of jeans i got are fuckin nice,

theyre originally $162 but they were on sale for $100 AND i had a promo code for %50 off my order so they ended up only costing me 50 bucks which is fucking sweet deal. they were “straight fit” but i got them a size bigger and they fit nice, a little snug but they have room for growth before they become legit skinny jeans.

i also got a winter jacket.

plus my dad got me a $100 visa gift card which i attempted to spend on Nolvadex but it didnt work out.

3252

dude you want a cheap house? the houses in Miami are dirt cheap these days, i hear you can buy for 90,000. My aunt runs her own real estate consulting thing or someshit so she was explaining how all these developers were building in Miami because it was a hot place and then eventually no one was buying the properties anymore so everything went way down.

3253

Hey, I jumped from EQ to WoW, so getting shit done in a timely manner and actually being able to play by myself was fun.

It’s all behind me now, I avoid MMORPG’s like the plague.

I do too, but its only by getting rid of my gaming computer I was able to. And I bought a PS3 instead of building a computer because if I build a computer I know I’ll be buying Darkfall Online when it comes out.

Btw you could solo pretty well in EQ2 and once I got my Brigand well equipped at top level I would just go around and fucking own people all day long. I could take entire groups by sneaking up and using these HUGE debuff skill on the main tank and the mob would just slaughter him then and then start helping me destroy the group.

Then I would use this skill called Escape to jump to the zone line after the group was down and the mobs were about to turn on me. =)

My ShadowKnight friend and I would do the same. Except I would hit the main healer with the debuff and he would then Harm Touch them. 1-2 dead! lol

EQ2 was also amazing because of lots of outdoor raid content. The battles we had over that stuff was awesome!

We would send some Brigands in all rushing the main tank of the opposing faction/guild and hopefully some of us would get in long enough to hit the main tank with those debuffs. If they weren’t cleansed before the next attack, say bye bye to the tank and then the whole raid party. lol

Eventually it got to a point where there would be almost a full 2nd raid party from that faction dedicated to trying to fend off the opposing side. Fun shit!

But I’m glad I got away from it all, shit was fun but it made me skinny-fat! haha

Lifting related: I have to hit back and arms today and then some shoulder rehab stuff (really light weight super high rep to flush the area with blood then I’ll do more shoulder stretching, been doing the shoulder dislocates every morning).

NERDSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

At this point I’ll move anywhere. Any place that doesn’t have 3+ feet of snow on the ground is a good start.
