Yes, I said Christmas....not happy holidays. Why? I believe in God. Nuff said.
Hope everyone had a good Christmas. I know I did. Got my daughter for Christmas eve night and Christmas morning. I couldn't have asked for a better present. Plus something happened to me that I always wanted to but it wasn't as fun as I thought...but looking back, it was pretty damn cute. What happened was during Christmas morning. I was asleep and like usual, my daughter was up before me.
Before I continue let me say this, my sister, her husband and their 4 children were over visiting for Christmas so I let my sister and her husband use my bed. With one simple rule though, no sex. lol. So anyways, I was sleeping on my couch and my daughter came to wake me up. The way she woke me up was what I'm mainly talking about it. She literally jumped on my. Knees bent, landing on my stomach. I went from being in a deep sleep to having my hands and feet in the air from her landing on me. I wasn't upset, just a little sore. lol. Still though, it was the best Christmas morning wake up I have ever had. The next time I have her, in two years, it'll be my turn to wake her up that way...lol. Gotta love being a parent. :)
Well, this was a short blog. More to come, more often.....I hope lol. I'm just not as motivated either cause I don't get any feedback from my blogz. That wont make me stop blogging but it would be nice to have a comment once in a while. I wouldn't even care if it's random. People that know me knows how random I can be and most of the time, it makes no sense. lol
Well, enjoy your holidays whatever you celebrate. Just remember, family is the important part of this season. Enjoy the moments you spend together cause gifts get old, ruined, wrecked but great memories last forever. Well, unless you get Alzheimer. lol

Priorities and Life
I've been thinking about the way my life is gonna be going in the new year. What changes I want and need to make and how they will effect my life, my daughters life and my career. Well, not really much my career but you kinda get the idea.
As some of my readers might know, I will have my daughter a lot more then I do now. I'm getting excited for the more time I get to spend with her. I know it will leave me a little stressed with having to get her to daycare on time then me to work and then back from work to pick her up before the after-school daycare closes. And it will leave me with less time to start to explore the dating world again. I have been single for a year...well, I should just say more like 18 months. The last person I dated seemed to only want to screw me a couple times then make up excuses to why she's too busy to hang out. Oh well, her loss.
I am planning on moving when my lease is up in June to a small 2 bedroom apartment. I do love to live in houses but there comes a time where you have to ignore what you want and get something that will allow you to save money so you can do things in the future with you child and give them the best possible life they can have. I've always wanted to give my daughter a better life then I had growing up and so far, she has, but I can always do better. When the day comes where I think I cannot do anything to better her life is the day I have given up trying to make her life perfect but I do not see that day ever coming. Even after she gets older and have a family of her own, I will still strive to get her life to be the best as possible. Even if that means sacrificing the things I want for myself in life. I do however see her wanting to go over and beyond to make my life better. I already see that compassion in her heart now. And I will do my best to keep that trait in her 'cause that will make her life so much better.
I've been meaning to spend more time doing my blog but I just haven't got around to it. I know shame on me but priorities change as life progresses. But don't think I will stop blogging all together. I will still try to do one once a week. Hopefully more. Anyways. it's getting closer to Christmas. Counting down the days for when Santa comes to spoil my little one. I have noticed that my excitement for Christmas has changed over the years from when I was young. I no longer get excited for getting gifts but I find more pleasure anticipating and watching my daughter wake up Christmas morning and seeing all the presents and the joy she will have opening them all up. It almost brings tears of happiness in my eyes just thinking about it. I hope she loves what she gets....well, I know she will love it. lol
Just remember people, life is always changing. Just keep an eye on the important things and push yourself to make that the main priority in your life, no matter how down you are, or how hard it might be, because in the end, those things are what you look back at and determine how great a life you lived. You don't want to look back and find out you wasted all that valuable time with childish behaviour. Only if I understood this like I do now 6-7 years ago. But I will not beat myself up on this, I will use it as a stepping stool so it doesn't happen again.

Happy Decem-beard
Well, since Movember is over, why not start Decem-beard to continue on to keep those faces of ours warm for the winter months. I've had my goatee for a couple years and I don't plan on shaving it off anytime soon. And I'm keeping my stash for the time being. Kinda like how it looks on me again.
So far, this month is going awesomely. For one, I got my daughter for the night last night so I got to wake up with her this morning.....at 530am. I hate waking up that early but for my daughter, its a complete joy. I also got an email today to send in 2 game reviews and if they like it and I am chosen, I will start doing game reviews and get paid for it. Win-fuckin-win. Hopefully I get games sent to me or links to download them for free instead of me having to go out and buy certain games to review to their liking. This will also shorten my time on my Skyrim playing and my side project associated with that but it'll be worth it cause I'll be making the money. The only down side I see with this would be my anticipation to get done work quicker and go home to play the games and do reviews. I should actually start doing my own personal review more often.
Whats new with me, well, end of last week my boob tube TV started acting up. Basically it was like someone was sitting there with the remote and hitting `input`, `power`, `channel scan` or holding volume up`. At first it didn't bother me too much. I just put it back to the appropriate input/channel and continue gaming or watching TV/movie. But as the days or hours went on, it got worse and worse to the point where I couldn't have the TV on for more then 5 minutes without this happening to it. So like any other sane gamer out there, I had to go get a new TV. And I made sure I upgraded far. No, I didn't get a 3D TV. I'm waiting for 3-5 years before I decide on getting one of those. Make sure the market for them is better and the price goes way down.
Well, I got my new TV. A Samsung 1080p LED Smart HDTV. I'm loving it. I can have Netflix, facebook, and twitter through my TV. Not from streaming from another device like my XBox 360 or from a computer, but actually from apps on the TV. Also with the apps I can download games to it. I literally started laughing when I found that out. One part, "that's pretty cool" and one part "that's ridiculous." The thing that I find really sick was that I was able to download an app for my iPhone 3Gs and use it as a remote control. It even has a section to use for the games as well. To make it work though, you need to have the HDTV hooked up to your router via wireless or wired and have your smartphone also connected to the same router. Its that easy. I don't think I will ever use the remote that came with the HDTV anymore. All I need to do now is get myself a HDMI cord for my XBox 360 and I'll be set.
I'll be back another day. Probably with something more interesting to talk about....like what happened to my old boob tube TV...did I give it away, sell it or smash the shit outta it with a baseball bat and other blunt objects....only time will tell. And if I do the more fun choice, you better believe I'll have someone video tape that shit. And yes, of course, I'll post it online and link it on here. lol
On a parting note; Make small things count.....teach midgets math.
