The X-Men 3 Review [from someone who is awfully biased]
*I should mention that there are Spoilers in this review*
Let me just start by saying that I LOVED This movie. I loved the actors I loved the dialogue, I love the special effects, I loved the premise, I loved the focus, and I love the actors… and here's why…

As school nears it's inevitable close every quarter I nearly always find myself feeling that same odd feeling of glee mixed with dread. One the one hand I am about to go on break from academia and that is glee. On the other hand I am about to take my finals which will in turn affect just how much fun I have on my break. Now you see my dilemma. To make things more difficult, it turns out my One YEAR ANNIVERSARY with my girl was on the 22nd. Not to say that this is a bad thing but that I have so much stuff to do for school around this time is really just sucky!
We did end up having a great time. We started the day off eating breakfast at Chace's Pancake house over in Bellevue, which was sweet. They really have a great assortment of really unique pancakes! After that we headed toward Bellevue Square where we played a cool game in which we both split off for 1 hour and searched for a gift under $20 to buy eachother. I got her a shirt from Hollister and also a cute Annivesary Disney Card from hallmark. She got me a build a bear (but it was really a Bunny [we named him Mr. Bunny]). We both liked eachother's gifts. We did a lot more anniversary type things the rest of the day (dinner @ Calcutta Grill, UW Driving Range) and all in all had a really fun day.

X-Men 3. Man. One helluva Movie. I'm gonna post a lengthy video review right after this post.
X-Men Party : So I'm pretty much this HUGE X-Men Geek. Biggest turnout we've had for any event around the fraternity this whole quarter was for the X-Men party I decided throw to commemorate the release of the 3rd movie. Got a bunch of highschoolers out to watch X1 and X2 on review at our Fraternity a la Projector. It was great fun.
I'm actually pretty sleepy right now but i'll leave you guys with this :

It's finally happened. The Xbox360 has finally be cracked. According to the mischevious folks over at Xbox-Scene, a couple dudes have finally managed a way to crack the Xbox 360 to be able to play burned games for both the Xbox Original and the Xbox 360.
For those of you who don't understand the significance of this piece of news, I will try to explain.
Piracy is an international problem. It's predicted that nearly 70% of China's entire GOVERNMENT runs on pirated versions of Windows. Anyways, companies like Microsoft and Sony spend endless supplies of money to keep pirates from coping their software. One might ask this: Well why would Microsoft and Sony give a shit? Don't enough people buy thier software that they don't have to work so hard to stop pirates?
Well, this is true, there are an awfully lot of decent people who do buy thier software. But when you sell your hardware at a 200-300+ loss PER UNIT, one can only imagine how important it is to squeeze every bit of revenue out of software sales (for which the margin is VERY high). As piracy grows and hardware losses mount to new heights, console producers will tighten their grasp on their security as well as offer new services and such that hacked or modded systems will not be able to provide (for example : Xbox Live)
Here is where i read about the Cracking of the 360

So I suppose occasionally I'll be posting a few comments on random bits of news I find interesting and I think that this week Apple has definitely struck my interest. Before I say anymore, I think it's important that you take a look at the image below:

From the looks of it, we have a glass building (maybe its not glass but at least completely see through! This amazes me to no end. Apple is pretty damn bold. Thats all I have to say!
Also I just found out what a sketchy lookin mofo Benny Benassi is!

So ever since I first started hearing about blogs and such I've always wondered what exactly they were for. It seemed wierd to me that anyone would want to just have a journal that is public to everyone. Suddenly, I'm 20 years old and I'm busy as all hell of course doing this and that here and there and I finally see the upside to having a "weblog" to not only share my inner thoughts organized into a few posts every couple days but also to organize my life a little. This way I get to organize my life and my mind in these little brain-excerpts. Anyways, thats my two cents on the concept of blogging. I guess I'll be doing this a lot more often now that I actually have one of my own.
Here's a nice picture of my and Vy. She's my girlfriend!

PS. Everytime I post I'm going to go ahead and include a little link to the song I'm listening to at the moment. I think itll give my posts a little more flavor so you can listen to the song for free (streamed compliments from Rhapsody.com) and get a little taste of my environment and mood at the time of the post.
