First, congrats to Roxy and Matt. I'll have to spread the news to Roxy's old friends since she doesn't talk to them any more, and we had a bet that she would be one of the last to get married.

Second, Xbox Live fucking rules. I finally got my Xbox from Jason (unmodded, but I don't really give a fuck). I bought Rainbow 6 and Live for 12 months because I needed the experience. It is one of the strangest things when you hook up and they start talking to you through the headset. I'm no expert, but I've played a bunch of online games, and it is really fucking wierd when you hear people talking to you. All of a sudden I got very self concious of what I could say, and also felt very bad that I am not a good player yet, because people could actually talk to me and ask me what the fuck is wrong with me. I got Rich to play also, and Holly now blames me for stealing her boyfriend. I really can't explain how cool this system is. It doesn't make me like Microsoft or anything, but instead it makes me feel like Microsoft is a drug pusher. I may not like them as a person, but I can't deny that their product is really fucking fun to play with. Damn it's cool.

I guess there isn't much going on aside from that. School is school, however MY spring break comes closer every day. It isn't until the first full week in april, but that might actually be good timing. Originally I was thinking of going to Colorado to work some, and that may still happen. But I might instead play in a tournament in Kansas, hang out with a friend in Arkansas andgo visit Mark in Houstonkansas. These are all still just ideas and probably wont be concrete for a while, but then again spring break isn't for a while.

Finally, I am very proud that I went and got a general physical with a doctor. I've noted that ever since leaving the Tech umbrella (undergrad) and even before then my visits to the not sportsmed doctor were very infrequent. After losing my Mom, I realized that I need to be the one driving force taking care of myself. I've been wanting to get a physical for a long time, but haven't had the time. I think my Mom's death has made me realize my own mortality a bit more and that I need to keep an eye on my body so that nothing sneaks up on me. So I got a physical, which is great. Their doing blood work right now to check my Cholesterol and shit. I'm really just proud that I'm finally moving to a point in my life where I'm taking care of the things that I think need taking care of and not living as much (but still very) day to day. Out.
