Greatest Play in Titans History!
Lets change our country!
If we ever want any good to come of the disaster in the middle east than we need to demand the safe return home of our troops and the pullout of all military forces. We need to concede defeat and move on. Its time to stop ignoring everything else and turn away from war. We can protect our borders and stop terrorists from entering our country. It is not right to expect soldiers to keep fighting for a cause that has lost its way.
What progress has the serge in Iraq made? Not a damn bit if you ask anyone with half a brain. Of course the President and the right wing media would have you believe that everything is working. But really is it? What have they done? Oh they killed some insurgents. Well the insurgents will keep coming. They believe in there cause as much as we do and as is human nature they will always fight. You can not beat terrorists. You can contain them but you can not stop them. as long as there are governments than there will be groups that long for there fall. We need to wake up and stop the madness. We need to get back to being Americans and stop trying to police the world. What is going to happen is that by the time this Iraq mess has worked its self out we will be left with a broken economy and a country full of people that can’t pay there bills. We will have people that have been forgotten by the politicians that they elected.
Its time to wake up and help bring about change. It doesn’t matter if your a Republican or a Democrat or a little of both. Its not a party issue. its an American issue, If you want a country that you can be proud of than step up vote and bring change. Bring the message to others. Don’t let the uninformed learn about the problems of the world and our country from the media. Let them see the convection in your eyes and in your heart. Its time to stop watching and take action. Be part of the answer and stop letting the fate of your nation go by the wayside.

Bioshock and Madden 2008
Madden so far has proved to be an awesome football game that makes NCAA 2008 look like pure crap. No only does it look much better but it also plays better. The frame rate is moving along at a staggering 60 fps and it does not have the lockup issues of its college sibling. As of now I have taken the Tennessee Titans to the playoffs and have a first round match up with New England. Expect the review some time next week.
Now a game that has gotten much hype is 2k's Bioshock. Many gamers have been waiting for it for some time now and it should prove to be one of the 360's top games. Well I got to pick it a week early and let me just say that it is the best looking game I have played in a long time. The effects are top notch and the animations really help capture the setting. If you don't have a HDTV than you will be missing out on one of the best parts of the game.
It also controls well and the Computer AI is on target. I don't want to give to much away yet but let me say that its leaps and bounds better than the demo thats online at the marketplace now. I would say that I am halfway through he game so a review is about a week off.
I'm back....
I know that i promised a review of Harry Potter and guess what you'll have to wait. Its not like there isn't 1000 of them already online. I did finish the book and let me say that it is a real treat. It is the best in the series and it really showcases what J.K. does best.
Speaking of the review I have decided that from know on I will go on a 1 through 5 rating scale. I will on give a 5 to those item that deserve it. For an example the movie 300 would be a 4 and the game Driv3r would be a 1. Only the best of the best will get a 5. Also on a side not I am playing a game for the Xbox 360 right now that may get a 5. It is that good and it hasn't even hit stores officially yet.
Also I will be adding video reviews in the near future and the site is getting a makeover and that may or may not mean that blogger is going by the wayside.
Well let me get back to writing, reviewing and slacking off...

Harry Potter countdown: 1 day!
With one day left the excitement for The Deathly Hallows has hit an all time high for a book in the series. Tonight midnight release parties will usher in the final book. I will be attending the midnight release party at the Books-a-million in Tiger-town, here in Auburn, Al. I'll be snapping shots and bring you first hand news of all things Potter. Look for my posts in the early hours of the morning and than my review some time tomorrow afternoon!
Now today's item is a controversial review that was post on NYtimes.com A staff writer got her hands on the book early and wrote a review that than ran in the paper. Stores were not supposed to sale the book early but many have. I in fact could have picked up a book yesterday from a local store after asking to get shots of the boxes. The clerk told me that he would gladly sell me to book. Of course I said no.
Here is the link to the NY Times review. Have fun at the release parties tonight and Happy Reading!

Actual Picture of Leaked Deathly Hallows
Harry Potter countdown: 2 days
With all the hype surrounding the seventh book I figured it would be cool to get a few shots before it was released. After alittle detective work I found where the books were hidden. Sadly they were in there boxes safely sealed. Still I took a few pictures that should help increase the excitment. This is as close as your going to get to book seven legally. Enjoy!

Harry Potter countdown: 4 days
hands. Sadly there are those who can't wait to spoil the fun we are
having.
Today on digg.com it was revieled that someone had leaked the
entire book onto bittorrent. When downloaded you get a photocopied
version of every page.
This is very sad and I hope that it does not spoil the ending for
those of us who are patient. All I will say is that this person will
not ruin my fun. I will wait four more days and enjoy HP 7 the legal
way!

Random musings on life...
As I was saying I am waiting on my beautiful lady to get home from Applebees. She is a server/host there and her working nights is one way that we make ends meet. Tomorrow she is starting a job at JCPenny's so she'll how two jobs. I know living the American dream right!
I of course work at AuburnBank. As you might have guessed from the above statements I don't make a ton of money. Its not a bad job but its alright I guess. If you were to take into account inflation and the cost of living now I'd say that I make closer to minimum wage than you might think. Hopefully good things will start to happen at the old job soon. I've been there a year so I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Well i guess I got to go do other non important stuff but I'll finish this later with my rants on America's ever declining economy, political process, and over quality of living...
