Somebody really should babble I suppose. I feel guilty taking up internet space and just sitting here doing nothing. I should have reviewed those three new Mountain Dew drinks so Google would give us more traffic. I should update you on how my first game is coming along (still no word on release date yet). I should tell you the family and I are looking to move to Salt Lake city. I wanted to tell you about all the music I bought in 2007, but it seems so long ago now. I even saw a couple movies (Iron Man, The Happening, Zohan, Indiana Jones and the something or other) and should have at least told you what I thought of them. But did I do any of that? No.
But you know what? This 3 day weekend is really the first time I've actually felt like I've had some free time. I'm finally caught up on things. There's some stuff to do around the house of course, but I don't feel like it HAS to be done right now. It's a nice feeling. I actually got BORED yesterday. BORED! It might have been the first time I was bored since Calvin was born - and even the chaotic 6 months or so before that. So it was the first time I was bored in 3 years. It was weird.
So I finally sat down and registered for LinkedIn and now have a professional network - whatever that means. Mostly it seems like myspace for people I've worked with in the past, but I can also see how it could be useful someday (unlike myspace). To make room in my life, I ditched my Friendster account. Who needs all these social networking sites? Myspace is good for when you want to just cruise the internet ghetto and see pretty colors. LinkedIn seems good for keeping in touch with colleagues. I don't need anything in between.
So I hope you guys are enjoying your three day weekend. Perhaps I'll babble again soon. HAHAHAHA. Ha. ... |

For that last couple of months I keep seeing the prices of things I use everyday just going up. Gas, milk, well food in general, games, well heck just about everything is going up in price. But what do I get for this increase in price. The same thing as yesterday. Well that was until now.
I pulled into my local Shell gas station the other day to find out that all my extra cash had gone some where. As I sit there I hear a voice.
"Hi welcome to at the pump!", the voice says.
I look up up and I see a video monitor. Very nice LCD Flat panel high definition T.V.. Here comes the first show. Yeah, Access Hollywood. But not the 20 minute version this is the shortened 10 sec version. This is good for me since I could care less about this show. Oh sweet a advertisement maybe it is the 1 sec version. Oh dang normal commercial length and shorten shows, mmmmm. This means Shell is making more money off commercials maybe they found a way to bring gas prices down. Man Shell is brilliant, I thought to myself.
Well that was until two weeks later prices go up 20 more cents. WTF man. I sit there and ask myself, is this what I want? Is this just to distract myself from the fact that my car takes 50 bucks to fill up now. How can these gas stations not be making money and afford a LCD flat panel T.V. at ten different pumps? I don't even have one High Def T.V. they got ten. Seriously this is messed up.
If they wanted to distract me they need to do better than that. I am insulted and you should be too. If they can afford to do this they can afford to lower prices. I mean come on.
PFFT! |

Go! Read! Be Amazed!
IGN has announced my game! I can probably share more info after the initial press stuff has gone out. But for now, I can say that it's been awesome to be working on a small WiiWare title. The arcade version is really fun, and I think I've made the WiiWare version even better - and I hope that all of you guys will support it and pick up a copy.
WOO HOO! |

I am not sure how many of you realize what I have been doing for the past two years. I am not sure I do either but yesterday I finally got one part of my life back that i had left behind in order to move back up north. I had demoted myself in order to transfer into another district. I used to be a store manager and for the past year I have been an Assistant with the same company. Most of you know where I work so I wont mention name due to legal issues surrounded with my blog.
Well yesterday I was finally offer a store again. When my boss asked me if I needed to talk it over with my people I kind of laughed it off and said no i will take it thanks. But after the struggle I have been through over the past couple years I can't tell you how relieved I am to be back. I take over the location tomorrow and with all my new knowledge will be better than ever. I am sorry I neglected you guys I am still trying to figure how to walk the line between work and this. I guess if I don't mention my job too much and just babble about non specific things they can't say anything.
I think main concern is using information I have from my job and spreading street dated information and sales numbers and statistics. So I am gonna make my babbling more about the trivial. I am so excited I can't tell you what a relief this is.

No seriously, I've been really busy |

This is the first night in the past month that I've really had time to relax. It was nice. I caught up on some emails (not caught up caught up - but I replied to some). I played a little Halo 3. I relaxed on the couch. It was nice. I've been putting in extra hours at work, dealing with Calvin's birthday and family from out of town, and up and down sicker than I've been in a while for like 2 weeks. It's been chaos. I still have lots of stuff to do at work, but I should be able to take a few minutes off for myself here and there.
So the big life news right now is that I've lost 23 pounds in 5 weeks. Yep. 23 pounds. I'm a svelte 185ish right now after sitting at over 205 for quite some time now. The secret? Calories in vs. calories out. I'm eating a lot less calories than I used to and actually doing some real excercising. I've been biking and jogging and Dance Dancing for a good 3 hours per week (except for when I was sick). My snacks have been more regular too, which apparently really does help metabolism. And I've even gone to Taco Bell at least twice. I'm not winning the work contest right now, because it goes by Body Fat percent, but once I kick in some muscle workouts, I should be in pretty good shape. I may even have to eat some more calories.
As for work, things are really cool right now. I'm actually project manager and lead developer on a game I can't talk about just yet. I had 6 people working for me at one point! It's been interesting getting back in to that kind of role, and certainly exciting since it will be my first shipped game. But it's also been pretty stressful. You guys will all have to buy my game and tell me how great it is even if you don't really like it that much and it will all be worthwhile.
I did actually start my "music of 2007" babble, but I figured I had to warm up with this one. And it's not like 2007 is really getting that much further away. So yeah - I'll babble again soonish I hope. No really. I will. |

More snow, gotta to love it. I just wish the mall would shut down. Then I could stay home and play video games all day. Wonder if I can even say that. But seriously I could get so much gaming done with snow on the ground. I could call in a bomb threat then they would close the mall. But now that I mentioned it on my blog I beat if there is ever another bomb threat they will come right for you know who.
Been very busy here still. Trying to make it too tax return time so we will have some extra money to fix the place up. Playing lots of WOW finally hit 70 and got my flying mount. Everyone is still sleeping so I can actually use the computer. We might get a second one soon so that be a problem any more whoever want to use it can then.
I had a scare a week ago. I thought this one was toast but a little canned air and I am back in business. I guess I just wanted to say hey and prove T wrong even though he is usually right and if he hadn't made that comment I might have waited longer. We have almost unpacked now and hopefully I can get my butt in gear. The past year or two has been trying to say the least and I just wish I could get back to stuff I put aside. Love you guys. I will return. |

I have some good news and some bad news. First I recently found out that as a employee of a very large retailer of video games I can not have a blog about video games. When I first heard this I almost flipped out. I am not sure about the person I got this info from but my crack legal team is looking into it as we speak. I am not sure what I can say or not say about video games on the site at this point.
But I can continue to mention other things till I know for sure. I can also calm ignorance till I get the skinny on this info. I could have already said too much. I am being very serious about this. I would like to very much continue my babbling. I have been a slacker. I have a history of slacking but now knowing that my right to babble could be taken for me I feel it is my duty to babble.
I will review sodas, music, movies, anything. They can not silence GoofyB's voice. Only GoofyB can silence his own voice by not babbling. No one else will tell me what to say.
They did mention a contract. But I don't remember any contract and I read most of the employee handbook. I will be getting to the bottom of this in the coming days. I will keep you informed of any news and I will be heard. Funny thing, when I was hired I told them I had a site I don't know if rules have changed but I know recently people have leaked info about shipments and sales on the internet. This is not my intension and I will be loyal to my employer and your needs.
Thankyou for your support and I will get you some pics up of my girls. If it is cute baby pictures you want I have 3 little girls that love to ham it up. |

That jerko hasn't babbled in over 3 months now - yet somehow he has time to get almost 25,000 achievement points and to beat more games last year than me. What's up with that? I'm half tempted to just remove his account from BuzzJive altogether and just make it my personal journal. Most people just want to see pictures of Calvin anyway.
As for me - I'm going to get a couple meaningful babbles out here real soon. I want to share my music recommendations of 2007 - since it turned out to be a great year. I should also have some work related news to share soon I hope. And I'm starting a diet tomorrow - so I'll try to keep you posted on some of those details soon. How exciting is that? More exciting than Goofy B's excuses for not posting - that's for sure. |
