Look at my new puppy. He is a 5 week old border collie and I still don't have a name for him.

Hey, So thought I'd post it up here since I don't have a blog As you may or may not know, the queen is visiting Ireland and the visit starts tomorrow. Well tonight the army was out in my town (Maynooth) and they found a bomb on a bus that will be following one of the queens routes. Bus stop is like a mile from my house. Queen will be coming out this way anyway since it is horse land in Ireland with studs everywhere (which nicely clog up roads when transporting the horses). Some IRA types have been releasing statements lately saying she is a viable target. Reminds me of a phrase Irish people say sometimes. Jerry Adams first coined it when someone in crowd shouted, "Br…

Lately I've been having some issues on xbox.com when clicking on my gamer pic to go to the "My Xbox" page. I keep getting this message. I have not disabled or refused to accept cookies. after i get this message, I have to sign back in. I can get it to work by clicking on "My Xbox" from the forum page, but sometimes it takes a few tries. Is anyone else having this problem?

So I have this 7 month old husky/german shepherd mix pup, Rex. He is more like a husky than anything. He chews and chews and chews and chews. We have tried rawhides, chew toys, and Nylabones to curb him from chewing up the house, but it's not working. He chewed up a leg of my dining room chairs and this was right after I upscaled (sanded and re-stained) the chair. He has chewed up a new blue metallic 360 controller, a cord, the telephone, and the list goes on. We have even tried keeping everything out of sight that we could think of, but he is a decent size puppy and can still get it. He even knows how to break out of his metal crate when we tried to crate him whil…

Game designers need to get away from this bullcrap checkpoint system, where you get checkpoints that you restart to when you die, but only get a save point after some completely freaking arbitrary length of time, if you get to a certain area. It happened to me in Bioshock Infinite, and now again in Dead Space 3. Maybe I'm trying to go to sleep and don't have another 30 minutes to play to hope that I get that little "game saving" message in the corner to pop up seemingly at random. I don't see any real reason for not letting the checkpoints just be the save points. And in case of trouble there could be a "recover to last major save point" type option, if it's a matter …

I'm looking for a live stream but can't find one without having to pay for it. Can anyone help?

Acclaimed Sci-Fi author, Ray Bradbury, died at the ripe old age of 91 this morning in LA. Tis sad, he was one of my favorite sci-fi authors.

Does anybody know of an email contact that I can email at Facebook for cyber stalking? Apparently reporting isn't working and now this person is liking things I post on other people's profiles, commenting on them, even liked one of my kid's photos through their profile, etc...

So, last night after playing Bioshock for a while I checked my emails. I received a UPS shipping notification from Microsoft. I have not ordered anything from them to be expecting a package from them. I immediately thought it was spam (Although not in my spam folder) and/or a trojan/virus link. I dared not click it on my wife's laptop, so I jumped on the iPad to check out the email header and what not. Everything seems legit in the header. IPs belong to Microsoft, as do all the domains, etc. Copied and pasted the tracking number from the link and went to the UPS site directly...Sure enough, it's a real package. Weighs in at 0.10 lbs. and is expected to be here 4/9. I wen…

So last Friday, my boss was out of town and Jason and I got a new house. It happened last minute and we had to go sign everything. So I had to leave work and the only person there was the last guy that we hired last year and I told him I wasn't sure if I'd be back, but if not have a good weekend. Anyway, totally forgot I left early and handed in my time card thing last night with my usual forty hours. So I'm late this morning because I locked myself out of the house and I called my boss on my way to work to let him know what happened and when I'd be there. I get here and he's in a bad mood. I'm like oh great. So he called me back into his office and to shorten this…

"The Corpse Flower gets its name from the pungent stench it emits in bloom - this, combined with the flower's huge size and deep purple color, convinced the first explorers who encountered it in Sumatra to believe it was a man-eating plant! Since then, this extremely rare plant has gained celebrity status by having one of the largest, rarest, and smelliest flowers in the world. These flowers can reach heights of 7-10 ft and a diameter of 5-6 ft. For the next week or so, you can see this incredibly rare and odorous flower for yourself in the Cockrell Butterfly Center! We anticipate that the flower will be in full bloom over the weekend of July 9 - 11. In the meantime, you…

Let me know what you think.

Saturday I started feeling crummy, but I went golfing anyways with my parents. Came home and fell asleep immediately and slept for 13 hours. On Sunday when I woke up I felt like I couldn't even swallow or breathe right. It's not necessarily my throat that hurts (doesn't really hurt in my throat to swallow), but my right gland in my neck is so swollen that it hurts to turn my head or swallow or anything. It's like the size of a baby's fist and you can see on the side of my neck how it pops out cause it's so swollen. So Monday I called in to work and stayed home and slept all day. I woke up a little later and tried to play some Xbox and some PS2, but I was just havin…

So this come's from Reddit's TIFU (Today I Fucked Up) forums, and this has to be not true but still I laughed at it.

He came cheap too...A #2 this coming sunday and a 3 or 4 next year. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5055346&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines PHILADELPHIA -- Donovan McNabb is changing uniforms and staying in the NFC East. The Philadelphia Eagles traded McNabb to the Washington Redskins for a pair of draft picks on Sunday night. The Eagles will receive a second-round pick (37th overall) in this month's NFL draft and either a third- or fourth-round pick next year. "I'm really excited about my future with the Washington Redskins," McNabb said in a statement Sunday night. "I'm eager to work with Coach [Mike] Shanahan. He's been a very successful coach wit…

I don't even know where to start. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2323073/Britains-marijuana-mafia-Two-million-users--6bn-worth-trade-30-000-deaths-A-leading-author-meets-men-women-feeding-UKs-terrifying-addiction.html

So, I just wanted to vent a little. I'll make it short. It's been months and numerous hardware changes since I last reformatted. So, I thought it would be a good time to do it since I was having some other issues. I thought it could take a while to get everything in order, but the reformat process itself is usually pretty quick. I was sooo wrong. For whatever reason the process didn't want to take and kept giving me errors AND when I finally got it working and booted into Windows 7 I couldn't activate my key. Why you might ask? Because I did a CLEAN INSTALL with my Windows 7 upgrade disc. What did this mean? It means I had to start over, install my old OS and th…
