Little of this, little of that...
Today saw another series of staying at home and babysitting my wonderful daughter. Plans to go to the San Diego Auto Show were foiled due to oversleeping. My mom and dad went out early this morning then came home at around 5 p.m. Upon their arrival I notified them that Ace, my brother, and I would be making a quick trip to Best Buy so we may search for a new computer. We were about to buy an eMachines: Intel Celeron 2.8 ghz, 160 gig HD, 512 RAM, CD/DVD burner and drives, and a geforce 4 256 mb vid card... all for $550. We opted not to purchase it because the sales clerk commented on it's poor quality and numerous customer complaints... damn :(
We decided to head home, but we stopped by Circuit City yet again! Ace went to get some money back from his Linksys Router that he purchased the other week... we found it at Best Buy for a cheaper price. Then finally we went home.
Watching a few Naruto episodes in a little bit. That's about it. Gotta get up early tomorrow and try to take advantage of a few sales! Namely Circuit City and the Beyond Good and Evil deal for $9.99! Also I'm going to try to capitalize on the Ninja Gaiden ebgames.com gift voucher deal! For more info check out vgtalk.com or CheapAssGamer.com!
Also I have updated the AIM conversations with another chapter in the craziness that is my life.
Good night all!

Whew, what a long day...
Went to work today, after I got off I headed straight home to pick up my brother and Ace as we ventured off to GameLords over in Ocean Beach for the Tekken 4/Soul Calibur II weekly tournament.
Kailee was over at the house. My daughter is so adorable. My mom and aunties watched Kailee as we went out for a few hours. So we were off!
First stop was Circuit City over in Point Loma. Picked up a lot of games today. Bought the following:
Grand Theft Auto III(PS2)
Yanya Caballista: City Skater(PS2)
Dark Cloud(PS2)
Lost Kingdoms(GCN)
Pac-Man World 2/Pac-Man VS.(GCN)
Fear Effect(PS1)
Elmo's Letter Journey(PS1)
Elmo's Number Adventure(PS1)
The Pac-Man and Elmo games were for Kailee haha. She absolutely loves them! Ok back to the subeject... we finally got to GameLords and had the tournaments.. unfortunately we never got to finish them due to the place blacking out twice tonight. We thought it would be better if we had called it a night and just headed home.
And so I'm here. I also got the Sega Saturn bundle I won off eBay and my MegaMan 8 Anniversary Edition(PS1) that I got off eBay as well. Supposed to be going to the San Diego Auto Show later today and getting a new computer. We shall see! Updated the gaming lists as well! Good night all.
p.s. - Also I forgot to ask...
Any old games that you guys don't want or play list em and I'll buy em off you! Or heck, if you're feeling charitable let me have em! If you wanna trade we can do that as well. :) Anything from Atari, 8-bit Nintendo, Playstation, Turbo Grafx 16, PS2, GameCube, Xbox, GameBoy.. whatever it may be! I'm interested! Check out my geekmode search list to find out what I'm looking for!
I'm big into video game collecting now, so let me know what you got and I'll either buy em for good money or trade for a game that you do want. Let me know.

2004 is here. Happy New Year!
I have returned to my personal site. I have not posted for about 6 months. Many things have happened since then. Soooo... Hello!
I now work at this nice place over in Mira Mesa.
I stopped collecting action figures and now collect video games and gaming memoribilla.
I spend most of my time with my daughter and rarely go out anymore.
I applied to SDSU and should be hearing from them soon. If not, 1 more year of schooling and or trade school?
I now write for an onling gaming publication. Check out my work at www.vgonetwork.com ! I'm the main news writer and I also do reviews and have a column called GEEKMODE.
I am no longer with my girlfriend, we had our differences. What of our daughter? She's doing fine and well. I take care of her when I can, and I just love Kailee so much. Don't need a girl, I got a daughter. I'm happy with my life. I'm devoting all my life to her now. :)
So, without further adieu, I bid you all a Happy New Year!!!
