Recently I started a new blog. You can see it at the link below. Enjoy!

Just got it in the mail.

Well I just got the new Prince of Persia game from Amazon today. And because I Pre-Ordered it they upgraded me to the limited edition. It comes with the game, and online comic, bonus DVD with videos and more.

Not bad for just paying the regualr price of the game.

So I guess I know what I’ll be doing all weekend. I also recently got Too Human and have just started that game.

The next one I want is Fallout 3 but I think I’ve used up all my “entertainment” budget and will have to wait a but. Unless I can find a good deal on it.

Simple and clean is sometimes best.

I’ve been on the fence a lot about how my blog should look. I finally came to the conclusion that clean and simple is the way to go. So I found a nice theme and over the next couple of weeks I will be customizing it a bit.

One of the reasons I picked this theme is because its very editorial looking and easy to read. On top of that it looks great on my iPhone which was one of my goal, to look good on mobile devices.

Enjoy.

KFC + Guitar Hero = 1200 Calories of Pure Joy

I just read this on Kotaku.com. It’s crazy that now Guitar Hero is everywhere, including now in your food. This meal is a heart attack waiting to happen with so much food. Don’t get me wrong it looks really good but we all know with most fast food, just as fast as you it goes in your body it goes out. At least that is a big issue I have seen with Taco Bell.

Time to show off!

Just thought I would show off my new set up. I moved my Xbox 360 to my desk so now I will never have to leave my room except to go to the bathroom and to eat something. Its pretty nice to have the 360 right next to my computer so I can look things up or keep track of other things.

I don’t know how long this will last but it seems to be working out pretty well so far.

I know.. I’m a total geek.

Where in the world is… my mom??

Yesterday my mom sent me this pic from the Rays Baseball game (Game 1). I haven’t talked to her today but I bet she had a blast. I mean look at that smile.. she must have had fun.

Love ya mom!

FINALLY!! It came in.

Finally got my copy of Fable II direct from Amazon with “Release Day Delivery” which awsome. Now I cant wait to go home and play it. I was even debating if I should take the rest of the day off from work to start my Fable Adventure.

But I have to be a good Designer and do my work before play. But you can bet that I will be up most of the night playing Fable II.

The best things come from the heart.

For quite sometime now I’ve wanted to have a similar setup at home as I do at work. At work I have 2 Dell 19″ LCD display while at home I have an Apple iMac 20″. So I started looking at prices for another 20″ wide screen display.

Knowing I needed to get the best deal possiable I called up my step-father in NY and asked him if he had an “in” and knew where I could get a good deal on the type of display I was looking for. He told me to send him the specs and he would look into it.

Come Friday he called me up and told me to be home on Saturday because I was getting a dilivery from FedEx. With the dilivery truck on Saturday morning came a new Samsung 20″ LCD. I was in shock…

He had gone ahead and bought be one and had it shipped next day. I couldn’t believe it. What could I do to pay him back. At the moment the best thing I could come up with was to call him up and give him a big thank you.

I know one thing, I might not have a lot of money to spare but I know that I have a great family behind me. If I ever had to chose to either have all the money I would ever need or just have my family, hands down I would always pick my family.

I Love You Bill, Thanks for being such a great dad and always being there for me. I hope one day I can do the same for you.

Playing around.

I’m thinking about redesigning my blog and I’m look at other themes that are out there. So if you see things change don’t freak out. I’m just playing around to see what I like.

I’ve Found My Soul Mate

Daniel Ordonez — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 15:28:06 +0000

This weekend was a pretty tame weekend. Since I’m trying to save money I haven’t been doing much these days. I’ve been a good boy and am now taking my lunch to work every day. A ham and Swiss cheese sandwich with mayo and some type of soup.

But that is not what I wanted to talk about. My point is that since I am in this new saving money mode I’ve cut back quite a bit. I’ve combined my websites under one host instead of two, taking lunch to work, got ride of Verizon FiOS TV (I only have the Internet now), turn off the air conditioning when I leave for work, eating at home a lot now, etc.

But I did sign up for Netflix’s. The reason? Well since I don’t have TV anymore I thought I would watch movies with Netflix’s, on top of that in the next month or the Fall Update will be coming for my Xbox 360 which will bring Netflix’s movies directly to my living room.

So as of late I have been watching a lot of movies and playing a lot of Xbox 360. Right now I’m addicted to trying to get Lego Starwars: The Complete Trilogy to 100% complete. Which brings me to the title of this post. I have now realized that I have found my Soul Mate… my Xbox 360.

I love… wait.. LOVE… once more L-O-V-E my 360. This fall and winter so many games are coming out and I honestly don’t think I have enough money to buy them. Which is funny because I am trying to save money but I might just end up using that money to buy more 360 games.

One of my main goals on my 360 is to try to get as many Achievements as possible. Now I know I’m not an expert gamer, but I like the challenge and I get excited when I see that green ring come up saying I’ve unlocked another Achievement.

This Fall/Winter is going to be amazing. With TONS of great games coming out and a new Xbox experience update there is plenty of excitement to keep the love alive with my 360.

Here are some of the thing I’m looking forward to playing/doing:

Gears of War 2
Fable 2
Lego Indiana Jones
Lego Batman
Prince of Persia
Armored Core: For Answers
Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe
Fall Out 3
Tales of Vesperia
Final Fantasy XIII
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Watching my Netflix’s on my 360
Creating my Own Avatar

So there you go. As you can see even though I am saving money I see myself being very poor this Holiday Season. But as long as I have my loved ones around and my Xbox 360 to keep me warm at night I think it might just be the best Holiday Season yet.
