New Year, New Car...

Well it's kind of a new car. Last year I got a Camaro and a Challenger. This year a Charger and a GTO. The Goat has yet to be photographed due to it needing a new environment to be photographed in. You could say it's not as laid back as the Charger. Probably because the Charger is used to barreling though country back roads with the Duke Boys. Not this one, this one is mine, but I do love a good dirt road. Song of Dixie is not necessarily necessary. Yee-Haw! Okay, back to business...

Ants are back in town...

Nothing says school is back in session like a herd of ants devouring a giant lollipop. I'm sure there is some sort of correlation between the masses of ants consuming mass amounts of sugar and the horde of students soon to be on campus. Nah...

2011 Video Games Top 5 (Xbox 360)

I'll be honest, I didn't really have too much playing time in 2011. These are the ones though that I really wanted to play because they stood out to me amongst the rest of the year's releases. These games were, and are a lot of fun. The kind of game you can play multiple times.

1. Batman: Arkham City. The fact that it feels as if you are actually inside a Batman comic is reason enough alone for this sequel to be number one. Add in all the bat-gadgets, riddles, massive environment and the progressive deterioration of the Batsuit and this game had me addicted. Plus Catwoman wasn’t all that hard on the eyes.

2. Assassins Creed Revelations. Continued shanking of Templars. Nuff said.

3. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Another great first person shooter in a franchise line. What I really enjoyed is the online component and added games. Killing waves of bad guys with your friends in Survivor Mode is endless fun. Well till you die that is.

4. L.A. Noire. Another large environment from Rockstar, and plenty of cool cars to “borrow”. Interesting use of story telling and character development. Plus tons of classic film lighting references create drama like the old days before these fancy consoles where even dreamed of.

5. Driver San Francisco. Look mom I’m Steve McQueen! Yeah it’s like that.

Dog's Life

There's just something about the idea of going back to work that makes me envious of my dogs. Granted my dogs have it better than the one in this song, but you get the idea.

"My cases sit right in front of me
waiting for someone to take me away.

Alone again, my pills are kicking in...
See I'm a dog and I'm locked in my cage.
Eyes are red, tongue is hanging out,
I'm thirsty as shit.. and I'm still a dog,
fleas don't itch I had a bath the other day
before this trip wonder where we're going.

My toys are packed and
I see my bed is in,
And my two bowls are somewhere in reach.
Scratch with rage
until I find a way to get through this

It's cold down here...
A bumpy ride and my seat's not first class,
man's best friend I feel befriended this is a
dogs life
ok were here, things are ok again
brand new lawn just to welcome me here
scratch my ears and I'll chase down your ball
looks like this new place will be home
for now. Won't take long,.. to go to sleep
after going through all this.
Wake up tomorrow and we'll
do it again...
This is a dog's life." - Pulley
