Style from the Dark Side

So awesome, Christmas break. It's been probably one of the best weeks of the year, no doubt. After the crazy stresses of this semester that I've complained to everyone about, I'm finally able to relax, watch some movies, goof around, and play video games. It's great. I managed to pull of 3 A's and 2 B's this semester, which stunned me. I guess I zoned out during the semester and just did all the work I could, it went by fast however.

I went to LAN with my cousin Kalen for a couple days, we had about 3 route 44's from sonic and ordered a crap load of this taco pizza from Joe's, which was DANKITY by the way. It was a good time, although I should have been working on some website projects. Eh, work can wait, right?

For Christmas I believe I'm getting a PlayStation 3, if not I'll let you guys know :). The reason I asked for it is because of the new SOCOM game that's out. (SOCOM: Confrontation) It's the first SOCOM since the first one that has been the exact same style of the first socom. At one point in my game career, I was number 7 in the world in the singles ladder. It's an achievement I'm proud of, and it was great being unstoppable anywhere I went. It was great too because with my name tag being -}X{- Mojave, I would join a room and in the lobby, people could talk on mics to eachother. From time to time I would hear "Holy Shit! Are you Mojave, like THE Mojave? Leader of -}X{-??" I mean... that'll make anyone feel great about themselves. Yes people, I am bragging. Anyways, I tried this latest socom out at a friend of mine's house (a guy I used to roll socom 1 with -}X{- Jynx) and I noticed that the shooting was the exact same as socom 1. The reason I didn't play socom 2 or any of the other was because the shooting mechanic of the game was so entirely different. The bullets weren't as precise, and the damage seem to be turned way, way down. So this got me excited and really thinking about what I should do. If I get this PS3 for Christmas, I'll be joining back with Jynx and his clan [U]prising. I'm not guaranteed a spot, but after practicing at Jynx's house for a bit, the old Mojave came back. My skills will most definitely be good enough for [U]. After I get fully used to the game, who knows what will happen. Hopefully I'll be able to come back on here and brag :) SOCOM, welcome back to my life. I've missed you.



So here's the plan now from here on out. Once I get socom all set up and going, I believe we are playing for 48 hours straight. After that I plan on going to work for my Dad to earn some cash. He needs a website built, and I'm trying to get my new environment with Google Web Toolkit set up still, and having troubles with the debugger. Hopefully I can get it fixed before I go back to work with him. I also have one of my Uncle's companies wanting a website designed for Childrens Furniture group they have. It sounded pretty easy, nothing complicated.

Oh yeah. Brian's wedding. It was a blast, and I think I fell in love with a bridesmaid. It happens from time to time. That was the most fun I've had on a trip in a while. Brian's parents were great in getting the groomsmen a room and providing the tuxedos, and it was good being able to be part of Brian's wedding. I've known him for so long I can't believe we're to this stage in life already, at least HE is, not me, I've got a ways to go :) Meg's great for him, all the groomsmen agreed that we couldn't see him marrying any other woman. I didn't get to talk to her much, but hopefully over Christmas break I can hang out with the newlyweds and truly have time to catch up with them.

After the wedding, Brian and Meg decided to get a suite in a separate hotel, away from the family and the bridal party. The groomsmen MAY have called each hotel in Texarkana and found out where he was. We found his truck to finish the job we didn't have time and supplies for at the wedding. Here's some pics!! hahaha.



The culprits who took part in creating the massive condom-mobile that Brian's truck was.



That's it for now, time to get some sleep.

I think I hear Santa........

An instrument everybody loves



This video was pretty hilarious, I can't say I've tried that with my keyboard yet.



Why couldn't church be like this when I was young? Hahaha, geez


Anyways I've been kickin' it around the apartment for the past week. I'm starting to learn more about Google Web Toolkit, which basically lets you build awesomely interactive and powerful websites from Java code. Pretty amazing stuff, and I can't wait to get it working...

The University of Arkansas Police Department I work for wants me to put together a slideshow, but the event is tomorrow and he has yet to tell me which pictures he wants me to put on there. Yet again, I hate relying on people, especially the OLD ones, ugh. :P

I'll be heading back to Fort Smith for the holidays this Wednesday, then I've got one of my best friend's weddings on Friday. Should be pretty fun, I don't think they are doing anything huge but hey sounds good to me. Glad to finally be done with finals, for sure. We'll see how my grades turn out, so far so good.

I'll be sure to let you guys know how Google Web Toolkit goes :P

Oh yeah you can check out some of the stuff I did over the semester at this link

Some of the stuff will work on your computer, some will do absolutely nothing. I haven't made controls for the keyboard on all of them, but be sure to click around and see what they do... I probably should add descriptions to each one. Well I'll save that for another day.

Back to fixing a friends computer and programming, gotta love it?
