Man at this rate i can have my Xbox360 and some if i keep coming across these Chase figures at these low prices, and flipping them. Have a buyer lined up.. SAWeet!

Unprecedented adaptability lets you custom-fit Photoshop to the way you work. And with more efficient editing, processing, and file handling, there's no slowing you down.


My boss popped up at my cube and asked "you still dabble with grafix". I'm like um yeah... ( is she trying to hint at me doing it here at work). I havent fired up Photoshop up since i got back to work. I remember before you left you were looking into webmaster programs and designing web grafix. ah yeah, i kinda still tinker here and there.

Welp not since i've been back that i made anything, but have been wanting to redo this blog site and get back in the groove of designing. I remember showing Wild Turkey some stuff i did while in Iraq and i posted some stuff here in my blog of things i did.

When we order'd all that new equipment for the server racks and different sites, we got some software bundles. This one i think you may want and can have if you so choose to keep. On my desk she places Adobe® Photoshop® CS2. Wholy Fuck!!! are you serious? This program is like $600. Its yours, enjoy! OUTSTANDING!!! i've been using Photoshop 7.0 and needed to upgrade, but didnt want to learn or have to tinker with new tools. I'm all about learning this puppy. hehe... I have ideas for this blog i want to try out that i'm going to start out in 7.0 and maybe finish later in CS2.

Charles Woodson #2 Michigan University

The Maze and Blue. GO BLUE!

Charles Woodson, Michigan Defensive Back, Kick Returner, Wide Receiver 1995-1997, Heisman Trophy Winner 1997.

1997: Even with everyone knowing all about him and hardly ever throwing his way, Woodson still picked off eight passes including a brilliant one handed grab against Michigan State which made every highlight reel. Want clutch? Along with the game-saving pick against Ohio State, he killed a drive in the Rose Bowl intercepting Ryan Leaf in the end zone. While QB Brian Griese had a magnificent season and the defense was great as a whole, without Woodson the Wolverines wouldn't have won the national title

This is a custom figure i orderd for my brother from drjwtexas for Christmas. This is based off his interception against Michigan St. It's not the McFarlane's he used to collecting, but i'm sure he move pieces off his collectors shelf for this piece. After the holiday season i'll be getting a Deion Sanders Florida State custom.

Sunday, Digital Life in NYC.

Grabbed MP3 player, jacket and keys off to NYC i go.

Jumped on 295 headed north to train station, haulin ass as ram2600 called and said he was already there. FluX! i have to go to the job and print out the stupid admission ticket. (for got to on friday - doh!). there are 3 locations State Troopers sit at on this highway and me knowing better just zipped right on by one and low and behold... there was one there. DAYUM.. Busted! as i looked down i was doing a lil under a 100mph. Holy Fuck! i aint talking my way outta this one. I just pull right over, why make him chase me further pissing him off. I await the trooper with documents in hand.

Cop: CAn i..
Me: here they are.
Cop: Where you off to?
Me: on cue i answer, i work for the state of NJ and we had servers go down. I got called into work. I knew i was travling way to fast..
Cop: 92
Me: gulp, yeah too fast.
Cop: what department you work for?
Me: Dept of Human Services.
Cop: whats your record like?
Me: OUTSTANDING, No points what so ever!
Cop: i'll be right back... taking my documents with him.
Me: Flux, i'm going to have points now. dag blamit! i should've know better, there is allways a friggin state trooper there. The the lil brown lie, hehe, i'm getting a ticket.
Cop: comes back take it easy.. have a nice day.
Me: WOW, no ticket. Wholy fuck! i wanna shit myself, eewww! j/k! that rocKs...

i got off again. Pays to work for the state and if speeding get pulled over by a state trooper. Whew! i travled 50mph the rest of the way, like a punk.... :)

After a train ride i make it to the convention center... it was great to see ram again and to meet more XBLF's PEZ and Capt Crash and PEZ's nintendog ( didnt poop or pee not one time while inside and was well behaved around others).
that pic you took cAPT- OUTSTANDING!!!! hehe... good times. see it here.

HP area had some kickazs big screens. Had me hooked there for a lil bit. i have 2 (not HPs) but the giants were playing the cowgirls. Gadgets - Friends and football SAWeet! yeah i know Giants lost. :p

X360 demos rocked. wish there was a playable X360 tho. they would have to had atleast a gazillion of them for me to get a shot. There were like 1 gazillion people chillin on the couches watching the demo's.

XM had a booth and i was able to check out docking stations they are coming out with for the xm2go.. nice gift for the wifey.

Gametap.com was kool.. kool classics.

2kgames had a booth and i was able to get the soundtrack for NBA2k. Mostly hip hop, and if interested i can rip it and pass i t along to whom ever wants it. and got a kool sticker that lil SAW claimed and stuck to his note book.

There were alot of PC gaming tourneys... SAW cant do PC games, but it was funny... ( ahh hahaha.. funny ) to watch the turds get mad at each other while gaming. One thing i pickd up on was that all the teams were pretty much seperated, but they yelled out commands so the other team could here. Why not have whom ever was in charge just stand behind everyone and be the boss and be able to look at everyones screens and have a better sense of command and control of troops. See PEZ like i talked about military games at digi lyf and taking it too far.. hehe.. Just wish whom ever makes Military shooters would take EAs moto.. If its in the game Its in the game. I look forward to America's Army.

iPOD gadgets were every where. got a kool lanyard from one stand.

All in all was a fun trip and most of all meeting XBLFs was a great plus. you all rock and look forward to the next event we can all get together. Philly Classic is coming up.

This weekend in Sports:

Blah!!! Last week my Yankees were sent home packing in the MLB playoffs, and yesterday Florida State suffer'd thier first lost. It had to be another ACC team as well, knocking them to #2 in the ACC, crap! not sure how since BC is #1 and we beat them.

Seminoles lost to Virgina University 26-21. Last time they took a loss (after having an undefeated start 5-0) like that was to Virginia back in 1995. Back then someone i root for now and just got his McFarlane Sports Pick Figure ran all over FSU. Tiki Barber. I had that feeling when i watched a few other undefeated's take losses earlier that day as well as the teams all my friends like were getting romped. Welp my Bro's college team did well as they knocked off Penn State, Michigan. ahh that reminds me, i got to call that guy making my custom collectible of Charles Woodson for my brothers Christmas gift. back on topic, the Noles are 5-1 now. :(

Giants Fall to Cowboys in OT, 16-13 After a late fourth-quarter rally that tied the game, the Giants fell to the Cowboys, 16-13, in overtime. TE Jeremy Shockey (24yd rec) and K Jay Feely (50,445yd FGs) scored for the Giants.

Didn't watch too much of the game tho. As i got on the train in NY coming back from Digitalife (i'll blog about in a few)the train dood anounced the Giants lost in Overtime 16-13. Which leads to my Fantasy team not getting to many points as i had Eli in and i think he threw that 1 solo TD. Doesnt look good in points. Now were 3-2 and now 0-1 in our division. :( It wont be till another 2 weeks before we can get a win in our div as we play Denver next week, then Washington. I'll be at that game if all works out well. Giants v Washington 30th Oct in the meadowlands. SAWeet!

Hope everyone's weekend went well and it was a good and safe one. Wild Turkeys i miss you all and holla at me when you get a chance. (oOoo get one of these today??) Squirrel havent heard from you man, call me or write and let me know how you are doing. I know Iraq sucks and you'll be home in a few months.

eM~ OUT (aka Cocoa, Melencio, Waterhead and last but not least DETARD!!!)

Frustrated Collector...



LAWRENCE TAYLOR





He was released as part of NFL Legends series 1 along with:

• BARRY SANDERS
• JOHN ELWAY
• JOHNNY UNITAS
• FRANCO HARRIS
• TROY AIKMAN
  

I ordered it back in August from Toys R Us, knowing it wouldn't be released till now in October. In my weekly hunts checking for other collectibles at Toys R Us and Kay Bee Toys I noticed that the NFL Legends series has been released. I was like kool, noiw I can get my LT. So I go tback online to check the status of my order and I see that i have the LT with the White jersy(a variant) which triples the price upon me getting it. w0000-hoooo, but I also see in red No longer available!... Hold up! wtf! i didnt even get mine yet and its not even shipped either. Every where i have check'd there after i have not seen the LT collectible in this series. All the ones i can careless to have i find in the 3 surrounding Toys R Us's in my area.

I went online last nite to check a few other sites i know carry the collectibles and notice that they want $50 dollars for the regular blue jersey one or they are SOLD OUT!! My plea to my readers if you happen to come across this, if you have started ( Christmas shopping ) like i have; come across a LT in the your area Toys R Us or KayBee Toys and pick it up for me i'll trade (if a XBLF or XNC or GTDB member or Xbox Live in gerneral) a Xbox 360 game of choice for it. Anybody else i'll figure something out after confirmation you found it. Now i can get it on eBay at a stupid high price, I'll resort to the Toy stores first. Then after Christmass if i'm really desperate for it, i 'll go the eBay route.

I'm going to NYC this weekend, maybe i can get PEZinvaders to take me to a Toys R Us in the city. Stay tuned, later today i'm doing another flash back friday picture from Iraq. Thanks in Advance for anyone who'll happen to help a Gunner out!

Mariano Rivera

Mariano Rivera wins 2005 "DHL Presents the Major League Baseball Delivery Man of the Year Award"

from MLB.com
Award recognizes the most outstanding relief pitcher of the season Mariano Rivera of the New York Yankees has been named the inaugural recipient of the "DHL Presents the Major League Baseball Delivery Man of the Year Award" as the result of fan balloting on MLB.com, it was announced today. Throughout the voting process, Major League Baseball fans cast nearly 125,000 votes for the award on the official Web site of Major League Baseball.

This season, Rivera, who received 39,964 votes, accounting for 33 percent of the overall vote, helped the Yankees win their eighth consecutive AL East division title by saving 43 games in 47 opportunities. He finished with a 1.38 ERA, striking out 80 batters over 78.1 innings pitched while only allowing 50 hits. After he blew his second save of the season in early April, the right-hander went on to convert 31 consecutive save opportunities from April 9 through August 11. His 43 saves tied him for fourth overall in the Majors for the season.

Rivera's 379 saves are the most ever in the American League and puts him fifth on the all-time list. A member of four World Series champion teams with the Yankees, the 1999 World Series MVP has recorded 33 saves in October which is the highest in postseason history. The seven-time All-Star has led the AL in saves in three different seasons including 1999, 2001 and 2004.
In recognition of this honor, DHL will donate $5,000 to a local chapter of Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the official charity of Major League Baseball, in Mariano Rivera's name. In addition, Rivera will be recognized in a special advertisement appearing tomorrow, October 14, in USA Today.

To create the ballot, an initial list of 15 relievers that had outstanding seasons was compiled by the editorial board of MLB.com. The 10 finalists were chosen from this list of nominees by a special Major League Baseball "yellow-ribbon" panel that consists of Hall of Fame pitcher Dennis Eckersley; Darryl Hamilton, former Major League outfielder and MLB Radio Host; Jerome Holtzman, the official MLB Historian and a member of the writer's wing of the Hall of Fame; Rick Sutcliffe, 1984 NL Cy Young Award winner, ESPN and MLB International broadcaster; and Bob Watson, Vice President, On-Field Operations, Major League Baseball.

Throughout the 2005 season, this "yellow-ribbon" panel selected the relief pitcher who gave each month's most dominant performance for his respective Major League Baseball Club. The 2005 winners of the "DHL Presents the Major League Baseball Delivery Man of the Month Award" include Jose Mesa (April), Trevor Hoffman (May), Chad Cordero (June), Brad Lidge (July), Todd Jones (August) and Ryan Dempster (September).

To further engage fans in the selection process, DHL introduced an online sweepstakes in conjunction with the "DHL Presents the Major League Baseball Delivery Man of the Year Award." As part of the program, DHL will award one lucky fan with a trip for two to game four of the 2005 World Series.

OUTSTANDING!!

OUTSTANDING!!!

To My Friend, Mel

Today is the international day for the mentally disabled. I thought i'd send an encouraging message to mamentally retarded friend-Coco. Just thought I'd let your retarded ass know I don't mind being friends with you. I don't care if you lick windows (Sand was everywhere i couldnt see) or even if you wear a football helmet to work (I had to wear that Kevlar backwards.. sometimes.., right wild turkey!). It doesn't bother me that you wear your underwear on the outside of your pants (power was out and i couldnt see in the dark, they were clean tho!). All I ask is that when we go to the club, you drive so we can park up front (we be clubbin). You hang in there because you are doing great! You are special, so keep trying! Have a great day!

Your friend Always, CJ

You rock CJ, miss you hommie... Water Head
















Cj if your not going to eat that can i have it?

My former boss.... WOW!!

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed in an accident."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks..........''How many is a Brazillion?"

Sabado en Grande...

Today sucked as it rained all day long. I did some in house maintenance that was much needed. WOW, just watched a trailer for Jarhead starring Jamie Fox. It had Kanye West's "Jesus Walks" sog playing in the backround. Man it got me all teary eyed and gave me a warm and fuzzy. I miss what i did as a soldier. As much as i love being home with my family and out of harms way i feel empty not being in the thick of it with my troops. I get like that cause for them i'll lay it on the line, take that ound if i had to for any of them. I recently got out and i know in thier near future some will be assphault pounding in Iraq again and i'll be here, not sleeping a wink till they get back. IT sux Ass.

That threw me off topic fo-real. K, back on track.. FSU rocked the house today beating Wake Forest. Ah yeah, back to the heavy rain. Welp my basement floods a bit and i had to take the shop vack to lake Melencio in my basement. I was down there all day cleaning up my military crap i just threw all over the place when i got back and organizing my Mc Farlane collection. Whew i have alot of them.

Recent additions are Mike Musina (yankees version) , Randy Johnson (yankees version), Ivan Rodriguez (rangers version), and a bonus i cant reveal at the moment. Just hung and organized my Military series 1 and McFARLANE’S SPORTS PICKS: MLB BASEBALL SERIES 1. When i get my digi cam back i'll et a full picture of my collection.

Flash Back Friday

All is good, its friday and i'm OFF from work. Have 4 day weekend. Thank you Cheo! my lil man is off from school and no baby sitter left me home watching him. OUTSTANDING!!! Not complaining not one bit. This week in TV shows was decent. Watched "Surface" and "Commander and Chief". "Surface" again left me awaiting next weeks episode and waiting to get a full view of the crazy monster. Still frustrating as they are draggin along this mysterious monster from the deep. "Commander and Cheif " was wifey time and i really wasnt paying attention to it. I know she's trying to find a Vice President, and she speakes like a good stiff one gave her lock jaw. She rocked as Charlie Baltimore tho. Ohh i did watch "Over There", for a hot second. Can go thru complaining about the crap they do that really cant happen so i cant stomach it to past the first few scene's. Wild Turkey I missed "Alias", so u cant spoil it for me. No TiVo so i'm going to have to down load that episode soemehow... aarrgghh! I had a fanancial advisor over and he was longer than anticipated.

Flash back friday brings me to post this picture taken by Short Round on the outskirts of An Najaf. It was our first run on this mission last november the day before Thanksgiving. We just got back off R&R, didnt get a chance to unpack or get back into the routine of being back in country, when we got a knock on our doors to head back out. I knew we had a mission on Thanksgiving, they just moved it up 24hours. We had 2 hours to get together this convoy which usually takes about 10hrs of preperation. We were out the gate in 2 hours from the time we got the call. OUTSTANDING!!!! Wild Turkey Infatranz once again sets the standard. It was great to get out of Al Taquddum to some fine Thanksgiving dinner down a Cedar II. Only drawback to this whole mission i got sick. Wonder who the culprit was....

The weekend i s here and once again FOOTBALL!!!

XBLF - EA Sports (Wild Turkey Infatranz) 3-1

Splinter Cell 4

At Microsoft's X05 event in Amsterdam today, Ubisoft showed off the debut trailer for Splinter Cell 4, the next entry in the company's renowned stealth franchise. Though brief with only a limited look at what the adventure has in store, the trailer was a welcome return to the series that showed some nice special effects interspersed with what looked like actual gameplay.
In the trailer, what appears to be a classic "spies versus mercenaries" multiplayer battle starts off with a spy tip-toeing on a beam high up in a warehouse. His mask comes off -- revealing his face, something that's never been shown for the multiplayer characters in past games -- and then the trailer kicks into gear as a drop of sweat falls down the side of his face and then onto the ground below. It's all shown in insane detail, but up-close shots of the characters make it seem realistic enough to be running on in-game assets.

Once the sweat drop falls to the ground, the camera shifts to what appears to be a mercenary patrolling the ground level. He is wearing a shiny visor, revealing a new look for the character that seems to be futuristic. He walks around for a short while before a spy creeps up from him and attacks from behind.

We are noting many caveats in our sentences, however, because while the trailer confirms that the game will feature both on and offline play, it does not say that the scene it shows is from the traditional spies versus mercenaries multiplayer scenario. It looks like it and sounds like it, but the trailer ends with the tagline, "You have no idea what's coming," so we will have to refrain from speculating too much.

The game will ship in spring 2006 for both consoles and PC. Check back soon to see the trailer in action.


Yesterday was Whisky 40's birthday... he's 4zer0 AWESOME.. hope you had a good one.

EA 360 Screens Bonanza


Yeah, they knew what team to shoot, GIANTS!!

With only two precious, delicious days separating us from Microsoft's highly anticipated X05 event, Electronic Arts has already jumped the gun and unleashed a bevy of screen shots from their Xbox 360 lineup and confirmed which games will be competing for your dollars come November 22.

Oh, glorious next-generation, how I love thee.

Get your mouse clickin' on with the links below to check out the screen shots, and wait for our hands-on impressions of all of these games as soon as X05 kicks off in a few days.


Madden NFL 06
NBA Live 06
Battlefield: Modern Combat
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06

Though games like Madden NFL 2006 and NBA Live 2006 are shaping up considerably better than previous showings of the games have indicated, we can't help but feel Battlefield: Modern Combat looks considerably "this generation" from the initial batch of screen shots.

Considering no release date has been set in stone just yet, though, there's plenty of hope we'll see a visual turnaround before its expected holiday release.
