4th Behind A Building
So this is what the fireworks looked like for me tonight. This is the first 4th of July in about 20 years that I have not attempted to maim myself with fire and explosives. It is kind of weird as it doesn’t even really feel like the 4th of July.
Anyways, I have spent most of my day playing Half Life 2 on and off as well as purchasing games from a Mr. Jones. Half Life 2 is damn good, shockingly good actually. I am playing Half Life 2 on my Xbox 360…
Yes, I caved in and got an Xbox 360. It was really all for Dead Rising, which isn’t even out yet. The demo for Prey was what really did it too me though. That game was damn funny and it was pretty neat to mess around with.
The first thing that I did once I got the damn thing hooked up was play a DVD with it! Yes, with all this technology I watched a movie. You know what, it felt good too. I really haven’t been able to play a movie on a TV in my last hotel and it feels good to do it here. Here meaning that I have moved hotels and this one is much more accomodating, in fact it is damn nice. It’s a shame that I will only be able to stay here for 14 days total and I had to sit out 5 months in that other hell hole.
Things are winding down for me here in New Orleans. It kind of feels like it too, especially with me getting moved into a new place. I am starting to get fairly sad that I won’t be able to see my friends from here too often. I would really like to, but 750 miles is a good chunk of driving. I don’t really want to leave them, but I really don’t want to stay in this city any more. It is tearing me apart.
I will probably finish Half Life 2 here, in New Orleans. It will probably give me that nostalga feeling when ever I think about it. I already have a feeling it will. I finally get to the point in this city where I feel like I know it and am comfortable enough with the surrounding, and then I have to leave. It has happen a couple of times to me now, but I think this is going to be the last time. I own a home now, and I would really like to settle down. I feel like an old man for talking like that, but I do. I want to persue new careers and all that, but I want to do it from my house.
Anyways, I don’t know the point of what I am saying anymore. Aparently my column at GameSetWatch is getting pushed back to the late PM. Whatever. Comment on it if you have anything to say. I know I don’t promote the column much here, but I actually like this one.
