This is a great video that teaches you your civil rights as an American citizen, annd informs you what to do if you are caught in a cituation with the cops useualy dealing with posession and searches. For example, being pulled over with drugs or alcohol in the car. Being stopped on the street. Noise disturbaces caused by a party. Great information and i do suggest watching it before getting yourself into one of these situations. |

I Have Neophilia Disorder
It turns out i have neophilia. It's a sick and twisted disorder I have accquired over the past few years, and it's only getting worst. Neophiliacs are people who love new shit, and yes it's real. They have to have the latest and greatest in everything for what ever price. this would explain why i had a phone that worked fine, but bought a RAZR. Whay i had a computer that worked alright it just needed a bigger hard drive, but instead i built a new $1,300 computer. and finaly why i bought a new DS Lite when i have a perfectly good DS. I justafy these perchases by throughing out an excuse on how it will benifit Amanda. it's the only way i'm able to get away with it. Ahh, how i love being a neophiliac.

My Review: Tetris DS
OK now i know what you’re thinking. $35 for Tetris, come on. but to be honest it's totally worth every penny. by far the best game i have ever bought. this Tetris is not like the old school style adding new features to standard Tetris suck as being able to store a block, quick drop, and shadowing. this make game play quick and more interesting allowing for more strategy. There are also several ways to play.
Standard (marathon/line clear/versus) - basic Tetris with a few new features.
Catch - as bricks fall you maneuver and flip the base to catch the pieces trying to create 4x4+ blocks to clear pieces.
Mission (marathon/time trail/versus) - try and complete a said lines with said pieces.
Puzzle - complete the stated puzzle to clear said pieces using only 3 said pieces.
Touch (tower/puzzle) - slide and rotate pieces to fall into place using the stylus.
Push - push your opponent closer to the end zone buy clearing 2+ lines at once.
This title allows for 3 different multi player games allowing up to 10 players per game. AWSOME. you can also play via Wi-Fi. this game never gets old and with a catchy soundtrack of remixed classics like Zelda, SMB, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Yoshi...(the list goes on) it's hard to put down. I’ve played it till the system finally died on me 3 times since last weekend. Overall a classic, addictive, competitive, and all around fun game every one can enjoy. I give this title a 10 out of 10.
My Review: DS Lite
The DS Lite fucking rocks. It’s by far the best system i have ever owned. You can tell Nintendo actually brought a designer in on this one with all the subtle changes that make this system ten times better. I've had the Lite for a little over a week now and the biggest change that everyone notices is the 5x brighter screen. It’s amazing the quality in the picture lets you really see the game and in turn you can truly appreciate the graphics, especially in New! Super Mario Bros. The other big thing is the design change. No more bulky monster, just a clean sleek system. the size difference is small but enough to make a big difference. The stylus is bigger too so now its a little easier and more comfortable to hold. also, buttons have been rearranged for the better, much better. the power button has be relocated to the right side of the system and springs back like a psp would. no more accidentally turning off your system because you over shot up on the directional pad. the start/select buttons have slid down a bit just below the a/b/x/y buttons allowing for them to move up and make it a little bit more comfortable to play. The mic also made a move to the middle of the system right between the screens. now you can actually blow/talk towards the screen instead of off to the corner. a couple more design features i forgot to mention is the hinge. no more fucked up looking shit in the middle of your system, just nice clean lines. also the designer went as far as to make a symmetrical cover for the GBA slot which is positioned off center when the cap is removed. the only complaint i have with the system is when i got mine i had 6 dead pixels on the top screen that kinda bummed me out but i got the insurance for $20 (which i recommend doing, seriously) and no questions asked they replaced it for me. EB Games rocks and the guys at Lakeside are great. other than that, a perfect system. I'd give this system a strong 9 out of 10.

Wii Instant Messanger to be Called !!M

iTunes Movie DL for $9.99
A new rumor is floating around that Stevey is pushing for full movie downloads for only $9.99. Jobs said, 'We set our mind to what we were going to do in the music business and revolutionized it, and now we want to do the same thing with film." The execs are worried about how much power to give Jobs, but if I were the movie industry I would go with this one. It's better than people just getting it for free off BitTorrent.
DS Lites Got Jacked
I Don't know if any of you heard about this last weak, but about 1.2 millinon dollars in Black DS Lites were "stolen" and now Nintendo has confermed that a number of White DS Lites are missing from Hong Kong aswell. Dispite the massive absence of DS Lite systems, the Eurpoean launch date will not be pushed back. How the fuck do you lose that many systems Nintendo. Wow.

Baby Aiden is Born
My Baby boy Aiden was born today, 6-11-06, at 9:55pm weighing in at 7 lbs 15oz, and 22 inches long. Amanda had gone in to early labor last night. we went to the hospital at about 9:30 only to be sent home at 12:15 after walking around for a few hours. we came in dilated at 1.5 cm and there was no change. on the way home, Amanda’s water broke at about 12:45 and we had to turn back. they had given her a drug to go to sleep that was kicking in at about this time. we were then stationed to a room were we sat for about 20 hours before Amanda had actually been able to push. During this time she was in horrible pain and was given a drug to dull the pain but not remove it threw the iv drip. after that had worn off she was then given another dose. Soon after this the pain was so awful she needed the epidural followed by a narcotic after that. Every thing went amazing, and yes i watched the whole thing as well as cut the cord. we now have a very beautiful baby boy, Aiden Michael Lewis.

Install Kazza and Get Fined $750
Acording to this artical, the power hungry RIAA is pushing in a new lawsuit (Elektra vs. Barker) to fine people for having any P2P software/shared folders on their PC. The defendant, Denise Barker, was sharing 611 MP3s through Kazaa; the RIAA described this as "copyright infringement on a massive scale." Fuck off RIAA. Thats God damn rediculous.

The Pirate Bay is Back?
Well, the pirate bay is back online but it has been renamed to "The Police Bay" and there is no trademark pirate ship. Something seems a bit fishy about this one. And did anyone notice that on my previous post, The Pirate Bay: Busted, the ship is gone too? Hmm, interesting.
