Wii Delima

, , , ...

So I've had my Wii for many months now. I bought it because I just love super mario & most of their spin off titles are fun like Smash Bros. Brawl etc. The only other game I really want to play but haven't got yet is Twilight Princess (Zelda)...

As for Tomb Raider Underworld I bought it JUST BEFORE I got the score from gamespot.com :irked: I always wait to see the rating because gamespot is always right... but this time I said there is now way they can mess up a good series like this for a new console... boy was I wrong. The games was hard to control... & by the time you get use to it, it ends. It lacked that epic feeling that past versions brought. I felt like I stopped half way through the game.

most of Wii's other titles just don't appeal to me. I still bought it though because I said there are a ton of old school games I can download on the virtual console! Like Mega Man! etc.

......turns out living in a small country like Trinidad again comes up to bite me in the a**. While trying to connect to the network I see an error message saying I cannot connect to the online network because the service is not available in my country. Of course Nintendo may say they are not here YET but you & I both know they will never reach here (just like Apple & the iPhone)
In fact I can't even play online with friends – I tried it with Super Smash Brows. but while I'm waiting in the room for a player to come no one shows up so I go back offline.

Half of my reason for buying the Wii was the large collection of past games I could play & the online capabilities... now I got nothing. I like games like Ratchet & Clank, Final Fantasy & Burnout Paradise which are all for PS3 ....but PS3's price is really ridiculous & I said I'm not doing that until they reduce it.

Makes me wonder now if I should ditch the Wii & put it towards a PS3? However that's not as simple as it sounds as Sony is in real trouble right now & I wonder if the PS3 will really make it. Makes no sense to invest in a dying console right? Makes no sense to use a half dead one either. (due to my location) ....& don't even mention XBOX 360. Shooting up aliens or playing in the NFL is not my idea of fun. That's all XBOX is good for... no diversity there.

Tag - Inventions

,

Okay so apparently Fanny & Super just love to see me waste my time so they tagged me :irked: :D

Here are the 4 things I’d like to see invented!

Teleportation. Yeah!! Sweet!! Star Trek Style :lol: :yes: …wanna bet people are still late for work?? :eyes:

A Wife that changes to any race you feel like on a particular day :lol: ..oh I’m just kidding:lol:!!.. Actually I know this wonderful girl that would satisfy completely p:… but that’s None of Y’all Business! :mad: hmmph!

That Machine on Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy that detects the food you’re craving & makes it. (& I would donate it to poor countries in Africa… awwwwww awww )

Small ummm personal device that gets rid of bowel movements before it exits the body via Wi-Fi :lol:!!! …ok WiMax! :lol: ..some days you need the extra Bandwidth :lol: Now you can go anywhere like VISA!! ..just bring food p:

(I was gonna say Underwater Breathing Apparatus that mimics fish.. but that has been done & just needs to be finalized & mass produced. Also “Volumetric displays” what people confuse with the holograms they thought they saw in Star Wars: “Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi..”:left: But apparently we have that too! :insane: though not as cool as R2D2 yet :eyes:

___________________________________________________________________________________

Here are the 4 thing I want UN-invented p:

Spiders… honestly, beside scare the willies outta me.. what do we need them for again? :mad:

Netted Vest for Men :faint:.. I mean even IF your body is worth showing off to the ladies.. a netted vest is STILL sooooo tacky! :faint: either you want a shirt ON or OFF choose 1!!

Cricket!.. man I hate that game :lol:.. it’s longer than Monopoly & twice as boring! :faint: ..but then my father loves it.. so in the end I’d keep it for him :smile:

Gambling – hasn’t affected me personally.. but it’s sad when you hear about a man (or woman) spending all their hard earned cash on a near impossible dream when their children are starving at home :frown:


I Shall Tag ummmmmm...

Kids 'Lime'

, , , ...

Monday night, (the 9th) I held a little ‘lime’ for my younger friends. (lime = gathering with friends). Lots of my older married friends have children younger than me & they rarely get to go out with us, the young adults. The children’s ages ranged from about 11 to 15.
Originally I planned to take them out for Ice-Cream with some of my older counterparts acting as, urrrrrrr… “Responsible Adults” :eyes: :D
I brought it up with Kim & she said due to the number of them, they may be still hard to control & it would be better to have a little ‘lime’ by a friend’s house where we’d have our eyes on them. I took her advice I we got a friends house to use. I spoke to the adults about the time it would be held & overhead cost for the event etc. – while I entrusted Kim to speak with the parents of the younger ones. (she was a HUGE help :up:)
The day came & yes, I was a bit nervous as to the outcome of it. However as the time rolled by from 7:00pm to 8:30pm most of the guest were there. (we told them come for 7:00, so 8:30 is not bad at all, as Trinis are notorious for coming late to gatherings like these :lol:)
We played board games, ate ice-cream, ordered Pizza… I was so great! :yes: I measured the success of the gathering by the noise level – the more noise the better :lol: (that’s kids for yah :lol:) They were not unruly – just excited. :D
I watched them laugh, talk, & stuff their little faces until 11:00pm :lol:
Sadly we had to wrap things up then. They could have gone on until 1:00am I’m sure but I had their parents to think about if I did not bring them home at a reasonable hour. :lol:
We started a bit late – Pizza came later (about 9:40) & I worried that they would not have enough time to enjoy themselves before they had to leave. However they managed to get a lot done during the hours & everyone left satisfied. :happy:
You know, it’s the first time I’ve done something like this. What got into me I have no idea. Don’t know why I haven’t before... maybe I just never cared? Or never thought of myself as a planner & the age ‘required’ to take on that responsibility? ………but I do remember when I was younger my older friends thought of me. I never felt ‘left out’. I think it’s just time to return the favour.
Maybe they will remember these days & this tradition... pass it on to another generation.

"Wait! I'm Not Ready!" ... >> "Tag You're It."

, , , ...

Tag I’m it? What the hell? :eyes:

When did we start playing Catch again? :D

Okay, Okay,.. I’m it. Thanks to a certain honeybe who stung so sweetly :rolleyes: :lol: AND the Queen of Drama! sugarwinx p: - not to mention anna.yes Oh Shoot! I mentioned her! :bomb:

Right! :right: …hold on I’m thinking! :irked:

1. I wanna be a fully clothe model but my parents think it’s not indecent enough! :lol: okay.. really. Ummmm

…. I used to curse a lot!

.... when I was around 13 to 16.. those were the foul mouth days :worried: ..I tell you, once you get those words into your vocab it’s hard to delete em’.
I don’t anymore.. but sometime it may want to spill out :insane: here’s hoping I don’t embarrass myself in the future when some vexing situation comes up. :zip: Even so, I’ve come a long way, so I’m glad.

2. I can sing really well.

….so I’ve been told by many of my friends. Hmmmm who do I sound like? … Joe, Usher, Stokley Williams (leader of Mint Condition) ..around those tones. My range is pretty good (from highs to lows). Singing a song like Chris Isaak’s “Can't Do A Thing (To Stop Me)” is pretty easy. I do Mint Condition’s “Breakin' My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes)” well too… but it’s way harder than the first… & it’s easy to get the notes wrong so it has to be a ‘good day’ :lol:

3. I’m afraid of spiders :eyes: nervous :lol: (no shame! :lol:)

…seriously! Those things freak me out! Just the thought of one crawling on me :faint: …they look so ugly!! & what’s up with the multipule eyes! :mad: …..they run soooooo fast too! :worried: & OH! Those bastards won’t die from insect spray! :insane: (the big brown hairy ones that is.)
Oh yea.. a big shoe will work! But those close combat weapons are not preferred. :lol:
& I must have proof of death before I can sleep! (certificate & everything :D)

4. I ‘Beatbox’ much better than Justin Timberlake :yes:

…been doing it since I was about 7. Many times I’d be in another room making some noise & someone would come in to see where the radio was. :lol: the only thing I can’t do is Beatbox & sing as the same time. (like Rahzel) …that’s sooooooo hard. Maybe next ten years :D

5. I give the benefit of the doubt.

I know what it’s like to be labeled, whether it’s true or not, if the label is not flattering it can really destroy a person. When I hear something negative about a someone, I keep it in mind yes… but I try not to judge. In fact... even if you have conclusive evidence on the subject. You may never know the circumstance that brought that person to such a point. So why judge? I’m not saying I’m not cautious!... but I do not like to believe the worst in others nor do I take pleasure in their troubles.



So… whom shall I tag? :devil:

ClassicAutumn… I’ll write her a paragraph.. she’ll write back 2 lines :lol: ..I say we make her Talk! :lol: ..maybe she still won’t take me on. :lol:

Veronica… very insightful & mature in thoughts. Who wouldn’t want to know more about her?

Fammcdon… cause everything he says makes me laughs :lol: & we always can do with more of those. :yes:

Angel292005… One of my first friends in Opera…. Yup. & I want to know more :up:
(keep those Blogs going Sarah! :up:)

IrGXaNa… dude… Squirrels! …you telling me you DON’T wanna hear more about this guy? :lol: …his banner alone is enough to make you wonder.. “wth?” :lol: …I gotta hear more of this! :lol:

:devil: :lol:
