Rock Band 2

I recently bought Rock Band 2, and I have been searching the web trying to see if theyre is anyone else who thinks that it is just TERRIBLE!! I went back and played a little bit of the first one only to find that it is just as bad. Ive been trying to figure out how they sell a single Copy of that?? I may be speaking for myself but if im going to play a "music" game i want to play music like Metallica, Guns 'n Roses, Van Halen, Whitesnake and songs that at least I am familiar with! I just feel lke Rock Band can be one of the most incredible games if they would have just left out songs by "Panic at the disco","Elvis Costello" But wait they play Bon Jovi so its ok... no offense but we all have our Inner "Rock Star" that games like rock band are the perfect medium for people to satisfy it, but when you think of "rocking out" the bands: Beck, Beastie Boys, Modest Mouse,Squeeze dont exaclty come to mind. For all the hype, I am extremely sorry to say the the makers of Rock Band failed to deliver. It just seems to me that as soon as you get over the fact that theyre is not only a guitar, but a drumset and a microphone!!( which consumers should know by now) That is really all about Rock Band 2 has to offer.

Uggs

I was headed to columbia for about a week for Thanksgiving. I flew out of Greensboro, changed planes in Memphis, then arrived in Columbia, and i can tell you with absolute confidence that at every airport i was at i saw at least 5 girls with those stupid boots on! and on more than one occasion they were within 10 ft. of each other,and girls being girls they of course were exchanging dirty looks and having they're own unique "gait" each step displaying those hideous things. which made me think... why do they feel the need to wear "Uggs" after seeing 3 or 4 girls with the same thing? i always thought girls hated it if they saw another girl wearin the same thing. Its like goin to a halloween party and seeing 3 Dorothy's standing next to each other. Doesn't sound lke too much fun does it? But I guess males have been trying to figure out the mysterious ways of the opposite sex for centuries now, but those things are everywhere!

the First

hello world,
I have been playing with the idea of starting a blog for the last couple months now and finally came around to doing it. this has been a crazy year for me, it has brought me to places i would have never thought possibe. its crazy to think how different of a person i was this time last year. Lets see, i was working at a bar dealling with intoxicated columbia missourians, to spending some time in a cell, to pushing my idea of "work" to limits ive never even heard of in Jasper, Ga.
the events that transpired in Jasper ,Ga at Sharptop were without a doubt life changing, I now live in Winston NC with 3 awesome guys leading Young Life, Pretty Crazy. if that is not evidence that God wants to work in everyones lives then I dont know what is. oh yea, i have a scooter by the name of priscilla. So i literally just got the call that i have been picked to be a YL leader, which is a huge relief because this week i was pretty anxious and hopeful that this would all work out. so now that it has, i can definitely feel the closing of a chapter in my life, and the beginning of a new one. all the things form getting arrested to out of the blue deciding to do summer Staff in Ga, to moving to winston. it was all leading to this moment where i feel...Satisfied. Not the i just ate 2 Chipotle burritoes satisfaction, but "I went where god wanted me to go". This is real "satisfaction" (for lack of a better word). So this was the first check back Daily (hopefully) for more "thoughts".
