The Gines Arcade!!!!!

A couple of years ago my Brother In Law suggested that i make an arcade cabinet with my old PC that I was not really doing anything with. Well 3 Sheets of MDF board, some curse words and a few hundred bucks out the door....I now have finished this arcade cabinet.  I'm not really a go and "construct" something kind of dude....so I am proud of my cabinet I built.  This has brought back sooooooo many memories of going to the Arcade and I now have a 4 player arcade system in my basement.....

If you need a round of Contra, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade, Or if you need me to beat the pants of you in Mortal Kombat or Tekken 2....you know my number....GAME ON!!!

My Elbow Hurts

I am having some moderate pain in my elbow that carries down to my wrist at this moment. I decided to got to webmd.com and try to find out why. Here is one of the symptoms I may be having..

"Sickle Cell Crisis
Sickle Cell Crisis Overview
Sickle cell disease is the most common of the hereditary blood disorders. It occurs almost exclusively among black Americans and black Africans.
Sickle cell disease in black Americans occurs in 3 of every 1,000 (or about 1 in 375) live births. Estimates indicate that the severe form of sickle cell disease affects more than 50,000 black Americans"

Uhh..... maybe one of the questions that I had to answer should have been. "Are you a whiny White kid?" if so you may not have Sickle Cell disease.

Stick it to 'em

My new motto for the year is “stick it to the old dude”. Of course I can’t state such a bold and awesome motto and not have some context behind it…so here we go.

I get so sick and tired of getting cursed at by 80 year old dudes over idiotic issues around one dollar that didn’t match this or that, and the pure fact that they don’t have the ability to bring common sense, reason, or 1st grade mathematics into the conversation. If the old folks in this world would take 3 seconds to think before they curse, this world would be a better place.

So driving up to the Utah Vs TDS game last Tuesday night, my father was telling me about some old dude that ran into his car. I asked my Dad if he got a rental car and he told me no, and I had the feeling he was just trying to be nice to some old dude who thinks driving on the sidewalk and hitting cars is better than driving in the road. I told my dad that these old dudes are killing me and if he gets a chance to “stick it to the old dude” you have to…don’t pass it up…get the rental car…..Tell the cop your neck hurts..WHATEVER…they would do the same thing and MORE if it was you driving on the sidewalk hitting their car. Little did I know I was going to get my chance to get even at the game.

Towards the end of a tight rivalry game, things really start to get intense because there was only about 3 min left and the Utes were trying to fight back to win the game……THE ENTIRE stadium is going nutz….everyone is standing and cheering and having a good time, UNTIL these 2 old dudes behind us start yelling for everyone in front of them to sit down. I was able to ignore these dudes for about 2 min. They kept whining, and crying like little old dude babies, and no one could get them to shut up…so I exploded. I turned around and yelled something like, “We are not going to sit down, the entire stadium is standing up. It’s a damn rivalry game and it’s exciting. If you want to see the game. STAND UP, it’s not that big of a deal.” Both those dudes shut right up……Ahhh it feels sooooooo good to “stick it to an old dude”, and remember it’s not like they can ask for your supervisor and cry and curse to them =) Your not at work!!!!!

So if you get a chance….please "stick it to the old dude"…you will be a better person for it.

Songs Of The Weeeeeeeek

Last Saturday night I was at home alllllllll alone while Jess was working. I was flipping through the channels and found a Foo Fighters concert. This concert was nothing short of amazing, and it made me start to remember a few things from good old high school. The first was driving to lunch in Jes Taylors Jeep on our way to winder dairy to get the hot dog meal deal, and listening to the Foo!!! I also remember that we went and saw Foo Fighters out at the Salt Air Pavilion. I credit this concert for starting my mosh pit addiction!!!!! It was also the first the first time that I went crowed surfing; I suggest that you do that at least once in your life!!!! So this past week has been nothing but Foo and so I thought I would share my favorite Foo with you!!!

Everlong - Foo Fighters

Jess, also wanted to share her favorite song this week….so you can decide which one is better!!!!

Come On Get Higher - Matt Nath...
