Here's my public service for the year, in case I haven't done enough already (probably haven't).
For those of you consumer whores living under a rock, here's a site for you, Ben's Bargains. Don't visit the site unless you have money and are willing to spend it, because almost every time I visit the site I buy something.
Basically the site lists links to a multitude of name brand online-shopping stores to (mostly) electronic products for unbelievable low prices.
But like I said, don't visit the site unless you have some extra cash. Consider yourself warned.

Here are some photos I took from my car. Probably shouldn't be taking photos while driving, but whatever.

What's the deal with U2? Every Apple related website you visit has some sort of photo of U2 or Bono wearing some disproportionate pair of shades thinking he's all that even though he's just a douche-bag sell out.
In one of Steve Job's keynotes, Bono introduced one of 500 Ipods and said something so stupid, even I couldn't get that out of my head after 12 cans of beer.
It was something alluding to cars and how he felt we should get rid of them because they're 'ugly metallic objects' or something to that effect.
Basically, he's an idiot and so is the band. I use to like them, but now they're just among the many bitches of Apple who have Job's phallic in their behind.

After going to the Depeche Mode concert last night, which was awesome, I headed over to Fry's Electronics to stand in line from 12:30am till 8am in hopes of getting the new Xbox 360. With rumors running wild, from 20 available systems to 200 and heated conversations between selling spots in line for 600 dollars to selling early system releases for over 1 grand, it was a nutty and uncertain evening to say the least.I ended up getting the core systems with the, ahem, luxury of purchasing the additional accessories that come standard on the premium system separately. To top it off, one of the accessories happens to be a 20GB HD and turns out I'm not the only one stuck with the core system, because the HD is almost impossible to find, unless you're willing to pay over 200% over the retail price.
Now on to the system.
What can I say? It's a phenomenal system with features unlike anything you've ever seen in a gaming system. From personal "game-tag" photos to customized themes in the Xbox "dashboard" it's plain to see all the craze and accolades the Xbox is receiving.
The graphics with no question is a complete upgrade from the original Xbox, even on my crummy standard TV. So far I've played Perfect Dark and Condemned: Criminal Origins and I gotta say; the games fuckin' rock.
I have yet to try out the Live features, but from what I've seen so far, I'm sure it'll be as impressive as the rest of the system.
And, if you're one of the people standing behind me in line who didn't get jack shit last night, you'll be sad to find out you won't be getting a new system till February of next year (unless you want to pay over 3 grand for it on Ebay).

Believe it or not, I cancelled my World of Warcraft account today. After almost a year of questing, PvPing, traveling in a virtual world, and wasting time talking to kids, it's time to move on.
What's my next obession you might ask? Well it happens to be the new XBox 360 and with some luck I'll be a proud owner of one this Tuesday.
Until then however, I'll be catching up on Rome, an excellent new series on HBO about the time of Caesar and his return to Rome in 52 B.C.

I've been so disconnected from the blogger world for so long that I feel completely out of the loop. Not so say I'm doing anything active to pull myself back into that world, but on occasion I wish I still knew what was happening to the blogging giants.
Anyway, if there's anyone out there still following my blog and who's an avid blogger themselves, please do me a favor and post a link (in the comments) to some of the blogs you most enjoy and visit on a daily basis.

You know it's been a while since you're last blog when blogger.com logs you out of their website.
I've been occupied with one of my many obsessions and therefore didn't feel like posting any blogs. One of which happens to be a television show, Curb Your Enthusiasm with Larry David.
The show has been on for approximately 4 seasons, I think, and just recently I found myself addicted to it, almost as much as I am to beer and Warcraft.
The writing is phenomenal, but the acting is questionable in some instances. But, don't let the acting overshadow the fact that the dialogue in the show is pure genius.
There's a new episode on tonight on HBO, don't miss it.
