Guess who's back?

It's been awhile since I last posted something. I got busy really fast with school and other things. Let's get started with all the updates.

I voted in the recent election and everybody/thing I voted for got elected/passed. Now, Obama will become president..let's see what he can do to the economy and other things. He has a long way to go to fix things. 

Gas prices have tumbled to a low I haven't seen in years. It got to about 1.59 but now it's 1.89. Hell, I ain't complainin about that. Hopefully, it'll stay low for awhile until the economy gets better. 

My fantasy football teams did decent. I won two leagues, came in third, sixth, and eighth in the others. I am in one basketball league, where I am currently in second. My whole team is pretty much injured, so I hope they get healthy soon.

My parents went to India in late November and have returned last weekend. They brought back a lot of items and pictures. I wish I could have gone but my sis and I had school to finish. So, we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. It was kind of boring and quiet. At the end of the day, we survived. Winter weather, on the other hand, can complain all day about. It pretty much snowed the whole time and when it didn't snow, it got really cold. I was glad to get out of Wisconsin/Illinois area. 

We went to KC to visit my cousin, Naveen. I had a fun time there, we went shopping, ice skating, bowling, to movies and played a lot of halo 3...(where I went undefeated but with a few close calls). We went to Naveen's friend's place to play some guitar hero but mostly a quiz game called "Buzz". I won the first two times but barely lost the last one. Village West is where we went shopping, they had good deals. We all bought each other gifts (got jeans and a shirt).  I went to Nebraska Furniture Mart, where they had the biggest collection of furniture I had ever seen. The bowling was nice, I won once and Naveen won once, sis came in last both times. Food there was good, especially the Italian place "Buca". They gave so much food, I couldn't finish it. 

The movie I saw was "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". It was a very good movie, I recommend watching it. The only bad thing about the movie it's quite long. New Year's Eve was all right, didn't do much. I hope this year will be better than the last one.

That's the update for now. There will be a rant coming soon. 

Random stuff

Hello everybody!!! Long time, no post. Well nothing going much with my life that isn't out of the ordinary. My post will be about many things from the upcoming election to gas prices, to old video games.

Finally, election season is almost over. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. No more ads on TV, radio, and the Internet. No more phone calls to remind that "your vote counts". And no more listening to my sister "you need to vote because it's your right" crap. I will vote this election, but will be undecided 'til I get to the voting booth. There are so many races going on, not only the national but local elections. Hell, I more concerned about the local election because they affect you the most. I just can't wait until November 4th will be over. We'll find out who our elected officials will be and move on with better stuff to do.

Gas prices hasn't been this low since......I can't remember when it was this low. It's about 2.25 here and in some places it's 1.90. I, for one, thought gas prices will never fall below 3.00 and it's 2.25, I am speechless. How far will it fall? I like it this low but I know, eventually, it'll go back up. I still drive cautiously like when it was 4.00 because the less I spend on gas the more I can spend on something else.

I love old school video games and I am not talking about Pong. I am talking about, Goldeneye, NBA Hangtime, Sonic, Mario bros., Double Dragon, and Mortal Kombat. Those long days and nights playing it 'til you're tired. Staying up with your friends all night playing until someone wins. I love Goldeneye because of the multi player, it was awesome, although I wasn't as good as others. NBA hangtime is awesome, I still have it somewhere, I love the crazy stuff you can do in the game. My favorite part is the commentator's phrases: "He can't hit backside of a barn, he's on fire, he's unconscious, baseline leaner, and why" (when you quit the game). Sonic and Mario brings me back to my elementary days. Just love the background music.I would play it all day trying to beat the game. It took my a few weeks but I did. Double Dragon is memorable because I would play my sis all the time and she would get lucky and win. Finally, Mortal Kombat is just incredible. The fights, the fatalities, the blood, no other way to describe it. Those were the times. I am not into video games anymore, although I still try to play every now and then.

Well, that's it for this post. Next time I will try to post more quickly. Keep reading and checking in.
