2005 is almost over. This by far has been the fastest year that has passed by. I feel like it was yesterday that it was the end of 2004, and 2005 was about to start. This year I was busy working, working, and more working, for pennies literally.
This year I got to see Depeche Mode live and in front row! I also got to see Dead Can Dance. Two of the most influential bands when I was growing up. I also got to rekindle old friendships and met new people.
I got to go to Comic Con again and had a blast. I also found out that the government is just as vicious as mother nature.
So maybe i'll write about all the experiences that I had this year in the coming days. I would love to write about Dead Can Dance and Depeche Mode, since that was one hell of a good time.

That's What Friends Are For
On Tuesday this week I got a call from somebody.
"Hey man. How would you like a 360"
THE XBOX 360.
"Ofcourse!!!!" I replied.
And now I sit happily as I see that my 360 shall be at my doorsteps this coming Tuesday. This thing has been a nightmare to get. I spent a few hours at Best Buy only to be burned cause they decided to give away the tickets the night before and failed to mention anything to the crowd that form that morning. The most ironic thing was that the Exchange on the base that I work for (which is 5 minutes away from where I live) was selling the damn thing. One of the guys that was able to buy one at the Exchange told me, "Yeah! I got here at 6:30am and I got one of the last 5 tickets!" I left for Best Buy at 4:00am that day.
So on Tuesday when I got the call, I was floored. I owe the boys in Iowa big time now. It is pretty sweet to see how people that I started playing XBL 3 years ago have become real friends.
The people at work were telling me, "Are you sure you want to send $400.00 to somebody you never met?" and I replied, "I've been playing with them for 3 years. We are a close nit unit!"
So once again a big thanks to the All-Stars, I will forever be at their debt........tear
