The Next Concert

Hmmmmm, so where do I go to get tickets lately.

Ticketmaster

Are there any other options out there...let me see...

Live Nation

Well, these two companies are merging under the guise of "the bad economy". I smell a big, fat smelly rat. The Democrats in Congress better step it up and reject this merger. What do you call one company that represents artists, sell merchandise, promotes and sell tickets for shows across the country? I call that a monopoly. If you're an artist and want to be at the best venues with access to the most people you're going to sign with the company that give you the most bang for your buck. If this goes through there will be one company...that's it.

Next Live Nation Entertainment will start producing music to sell on their own record label that plays on their own MP3 players!

Monday Morning

Picture it...

Monday morning crowded subway platform in New York City. I go to the end of the platform toward the back of the train in the hopes that I will get a seat for my thirty minute journey. The doors opened and out came one of worst smells you can think of. Think of bad, bad body odor that defiles description. Just one whiff and I got out of the car and went to the next one that was filling because of the dozens of jumping into the car before the train doors closed. God forbid I missed that train. It would throw off those whole morning and I would risk being late. There I was on a packed train headed downtown. The funny part is looking at the people in the funky car that stayed in order to have a seat with their mouths covered.

So that was the beginning of my week. It's happened before, but every time I'm just frustrated and saddened. Saddened because someone has so much disrespect for themselves and others to smell like that. I think I saw his shoes off!

I wonder what brought him to that moment.

The Team is Back

This is great news. I'm hoping she can bring back the magic with this one.

Choices

A friend of mine told me....actually she ordered me to, "Stop what you're doing and set your DVR to record Friday Night Lights. Well, I did and I haven't looked back.

This show is about choices. Do I go to college? How can I make a difference in my community? Do I follow my dreams or settle?

This show is raw, exposed and brutal at times. It's hard to watch these characters do things that you know won't turn out well, but that's part of the joy as well. I guarantee if you watch one episode you will be hooked. That's not to say it's all pain. There's joy when people triumph over their given circumstances.

It's a shame that a show this well acted and written is struggling to find the ratings to keep it on the air. People had to sign a petition to get it back on the air.

I don't think it's popular because it's rooted in truth not fantasy. I'm glad that NBC has given it chance after chance.

So, I'm going to give you the same advice given to me.

"Stop what you're doing and watch/record Friday Night Lights!

PAIN

Fun!!! This game is from the Playstation Network and all you have to do is smash yourself into lots of things. It's a blast.

I'm loving my PS3.

This video is actually from a game I was playing. The PS3 gives you an option to upload the video to your You Tube account.

Snake-Eyes Commando Elite

This is regarding Warhawk. I have recently joined a clan. We're a group of guys banded together to learn and KICK BUTT!

I love this game. We have a graphics designer and he created our clan logo.

Amazing.

Warhawk Rules!!!

The video below are tips for dodging missles while flying. Since I last posted I've joined a clan and advanced up to Airman Rank! This game is amazing.

Keypad for PS3

I need one. I'm accepting gifts and/or donations!

Current Obsession is...

Warhawk.

I can't say enough about this game. I've pushed all of my other games aside and really gotten into this combat game for the PS3. If you like air or ground combat this game is for you.

On top of the game play which is challenging, you work as a team and choice between play 4 different modes of play. Each game can be played with up to 32 players online! Below is the game breakdown.

1. Team Deathmatch - teams to take neutral bases
2. Deathmatch - 2 teams take down as many enemies as possible (Eucadian vs. Chernovan)
   
3. Capture the Flag - capture flag, return to base and touch the enemy flag with own flag
4. Zone Mode - Capture as many bases as possible.
   

I got the game from Gamestop for $19.99 and wondered if I would like a game plays online only. I could you play in teams and have team objectives without communicating. That was solved with my bluetooth headset. I paired it with the PS3 now, I can communicate with my team to solve our objectives. I just find that a lot of people don't have headsets, so I end up on losing teams sometimes because people don't work together.

The better your gameplay gets, the higher your ranking becomes. With a higher ranking the more likely you can get into clans. Clans are groups of players that get together and fight. I haven't joined one yet because I need a lot more practice.

This weekend will be a Laundry and Warhawk one. I need to work on my aircombat!
