My Hidden Addiction.

MouseHunt. yeah you probabliy never heard of it. but its the most addiciting game i have ever played.  Sometimes games don’t have to have the sweetest graphics to be a awesome game. cause quite honestly this game has no graphics there is really nice renderings of mice and traps and thats it. MouseHunt is a facebook game. the best way i can describe it is to just copy and paste how they discribe it.

MouseHunt is a passive game that is meant as something fun to check every 15 minutes while surfing the web, browsing profiles or doing some work. MouseHunt is not a ’sit and watch‘ type of game, but rather a ’come back and check your progress later‘ game.

The game works just like a real life trap: Set up your trap, bait your trap, check back later!

Its pretty great the start out is really boring you catching little white mice and brown mice. But after a few weeks it starts to get good and you start catching Pirate Mice. yeah Pirate Mice. then you get better traps and better cheese and start traveling to different places and you catch crazy awesome mice. here are a few. of my favorites

- Zombie Mice -

- Golem Mice -

- Ninja Mice -

- Bionic Mice -

- Lycan Mice -

yeah thats just some of the few awesome ones. but its super addicting if you OCD this is not a game for you. cause you will be up all night waiting ever 15min. But I have started to model these crazy traps. When i have down time at home. Mostly cause they are a challenge trying to model something that you only have one picture of at a 3/4 angle shot. Its hard. Really Hard sometimes. So anyway i started to model these things and posted on the forums to show people. Then something happened I never thought would happen. Everyone Blew up my Post. I mean i got like 5 pages of responses saying how much they loved it. Even the guy that drew the image i am modeling said he really liked it. It was pretty sweet but this is my latest game. I really recommend you adding this game to your facebook if you have one. you only have to check your trap once a day.

Two Front Teeth or an SLR

take it all in.

So as most of you know i love photography. I am not the best at it. i don’t claim to be a photographer i just like doing it. To me thats what really matters you gotta love it then learn it. to me its a hobby so BACK OFF! he he. So I am really wanting a SLR to start really doing some things that you can’t do with a point and shoot. I right now have a Sony Cybershot its a great point and shoot top of the line one of the best you can buy its got a lot of advanced features but some things they make it way to easy/simplified for you i understand why. not everyone knows what the hell and F-Stop is or how to even set it right. i realize this is for someone that turns it to the green camera setting and looks thru the view finder and then CLICK’. There is nothing wrong with that either. christina when she uses the camera she just wants to push the button. so of course i have to have a camera that can do that. so the cybershot will stay with us and become a family camera something for her to record videos and such with. but i am getting to the point where i need some more options more settings. I am starting to get to the point where i know how to set up my exposure & f stop and such for each shot knowing how to accommodate for the darkness in the room. i really want something that can grow with me i know that the D40 is a good camera and i can get use to just taking pictures and then start getting advanced with it. so hopefully in the near future i will have one of these. My true goal is to have it before the baby is born. So i will know how to use it and have some good shots of my new child.

Rosie the Hedgehog

 

 

So I got another animal don’t ask me why. I just did her name is Rosie the Hedgehog. Why didn’t you name her Sonic or Spike or something cool. Side note** Rose is Sonics Girl so i call her rosie. plus she is albino which is awesome.

First question. 

YES! her quills are very sharp and they can draw blood.

So Christina found her on Craig’s List and said look a hedgehog awesome we don’t have enough animals can we get her you would love her. So i said NO. then i said maybe. then i said yeah sure call them and see. the woman that sold her too us had a allergic reaction every time she got stabbed she hived up. but they are really shy creatures and they take awhile to trust you. all they do is ball up and stick there quills out. and man do they hurt. but its been about two weeks and i think i am starting to gain her trust. I am now able to pick her up out of her cage without her poking me and her quills down. They are really intresting animals and i was just wanting to let the world know i got a new animal.

 

whats the count up to now?

9 Cats

4 Dogs

4 Fish

2 Goats

1 Rabbit

1 Frog

1 Hedgehog

Yup thats about it.

Man Cleaning.

I hate cleaning. I do it, but i hate it. Christina keeps telling me how much i suck at it too. which makes me hate it even more. i don’t know about you but i don’t pick up everything and dust under them. i just go around it cause honestly when is that last time you picked up that Bucket with the candy in it to see if there is any dust under it?. . . yeah thats what i thought. We have clutter in our house not junk but just clutter we have a lot of stuff and a small house. It never looks trashy but it just has a lot in it. I’m sure you know what i am talking about. almost everyone has one of those rooms that has a ton of stuff in it but nothing is trash. so moral of the story is i suck at cleaning cause i do a crappy job. which brings me to my favorite kind of cleaning. MAN CLEANING. yes man cleaning its the best. the kind of cleaning you use a push broom not one of those tiny little brooms. Yeah a man broom has to be at least 3 feet wide. That says I am only going to sweep this floor if i can do it in four sweeps. this is also the kind of sweeping that you don’t use a dust pan you use a shovel or you just open up the cannonball door and sweep it out side. OH YEAH thats what i am talking about. and if you are going to do any kind of sweeping you use a vacuum that is named for where you use it. The Shop Vac. yeah this vac is the best it don’t matter if its wet or dry im using that thing to suck up the mess. thats the stuff. I am saying all of this cause i was over helping my dad clean up his shop this past weekend. i was sweating up a storm and for some reason i just love it. just for the reason that i hate cleaning house. all you gotta do is make it look OK. “What are you doing don’t move that just sweep around it” yeah its like that. That is why the shop is the man’s territory cause there is no one picking up after you. which means you never asked where did she put that thing. its always right where you left it. its a good place to be sometimes i’ll tell you that.

What’s the Point?!

Why do am I attached to so many social groups or networks?! I’m in a ridiculous amount of different networks where you see what’s going on with other people and what not. But seriously i’m in a lot. A lot of them i put up all the same stuff too. its not like i go to each site and post different stuff each day. I don’t i have one program that post to all of them. I am in a beta testing for Ping.fm its a site that is dedicated to help people update all the networks at once. interesting i thought. i can post to all these sites from my iChat, Phone, E-mail, & the Web. So I am not that big of nerd to update all of these places separately and checking them hourly. I check all of them maybe once a week if that. Cause all of them will tell me if anything has changed on the profile via email. I started doing all this for work as i have told you before but i don’t know why i am doing it to such the extent that i am doing it. The only reason i have come up with is to bring traffic to my blog. My Hits have started going up a lot lately and i think its due to that. i have been getting comments from people i don’t even know. so i guess that is my reason i am going to go with that one. i just love that all of these things are for social networking and seeing what your friends are doing but none of my friends are on these things. the only one where i have friends is on twitter cause i think almost everyone is starting to get on that wagon. I am just waiting for one of these things i am on to break cause some of them are pretty freakin awesome in my opinion. But they are not awesome when you have no friends in them. if i had a lot of my friends on some of these things i would love it. just to see some of the crap they are getting into. but no one is on them so they kinda suck so i don’t really check them i just update them. so yeah. no real point to this post just wanted to post something today….yeah.

Houston…We have a Heart Beat!

So we have our first baby picture. I have become one of those people that talks about there kid all the time. I never understood those parents. I kinda do now. Its hard for me to describe it its the most exciting thing in the world to me. nothing is more important that my child and my wife right now. I think about both of them constantly. I never had anything against these types of people the ones that always had pictures of there kid. Telling you what they just did the other day. How cute it was and you should of seen it. OH no you can see it i was video taping. Those kind of people i never thought there was anything wrong with those people they love there kids good for them but sometimes i don’t care about what your little tike did with a spatula, a trampoline and a baby duck… well i kinda want to know that but you know what i am talking about. I know i am not really a full fledged ” You’ll never guess what [kid name] did yesterday” Parent yet. its slowly happening though i am turning into one. I’m not really trying to stop it either. I don’t know if that is a sad thing or a good thing. It kinda hit me today by the way I am a father. the second i saw that gelatinous blob with a tiny flickering heartbeat that was it. I was that little blobby things DaD. No matter how good you are with word & no matter how many words you use there is nothing to describe that feeling the second that you realize your a father. Today was kinda of scary, exciting, and a whole bunch of other words i don’t know too! we had a bit of a scare Christina had some cramping and she called the doc and they told her to get there or go to the Emergency Room. I don’t know about you but every time i hear from a doctor go to the Emergency Room I don’t automatically go “Oh! So nothing is wrong at least.” so I left work in a hurry and got her and took her to the doctors office they check her out and we saw our BABY!!! and we say it was looking good it was the right size and in the right place. Which made us very very happy. Thats where we saw a tiny little heartbeat. Actually let me explain how tiny this pixel heartbeat really was on the screen look below to see about how small it was

.

see it. yeah thats how big it was. but they didn’t see anything wrong so they just said must be from growing pains. so now we have our first baby picture. its super exciting and i have already begun to become one of those parent type folk.

Now That’s What i Call a Tractor!

Good Old Boy, Rough Neck, Country Boy…. Call it what you will I am one I don’t go to the existent of calling my self a redneck or hillbilly cause well those are the people that think wal-mart is part of the government.  I have been in the country my whole life i live and breath it. I am not your typical Country Boy of course due to the profession i am in i do more than just sit around a tire fire talking about there cousins. Truth be known i really don’t sit around tire fires…..yeah. well being a Country boy I have to admit that i do indulge in some of the sporting events. These are not what you would think though but yes NASCAR is one of those events but i hate nascar. what i am talking about is Tractor Pulls. yes good old fashion lets see how much that tractor can pull till it stops Country Sport. i just w For those of you that have never heard of or seen Tractor Pulls its my delight to tell you all about them.  The basic premise of Tractor pulls is they hook the tractor up to a sled that at a slight angled track on it that track is a large amount of weight when they start pulling it the box of weight moves toward the top of the sled and the weight of that starts to make the sled dig in the ground so they are not only pulling all that weight but also pulling against the earth. the goal is to pull 300 feet. that is what they call a full pull. but if they pull past 300 they will either do a pull of at the end. which means they add more weight and pull again or they will just do a floating finish which means who ever pulled the farthest wins. but you might as what fun is seeing a tractor pull a sled of weight. OH well thats the one thing i didn’t mention you to you yet. When i say tractor well some of these the only thing they have in common with a tractor is the frame and wheels. People will put any kind of engine on these things can range from a Modified Tractor engine to a Jet Engine i have see ones with 4 hemi’s on it before amazing seeing such power pulling such weight is awesome. its a great thing to see if you really like to see raw power.

other country sporting events:

• monster truck rallys
• crash derbys
• rodeo’s
• and anything with a gun or fishing pole.

So thats what a drug deal is like

So we Finally Found a Wii Fit last night. So my search is over but it gave me a story/experience i would like to share. So we bought it on Craig’s list from some one selling one. This is where it was kinda funny you send a message to some one asking- “you still got it? oh yeah I’m interested where do you wanna meet? ok 5:30 ill be there ill be in a blue ford escape.” So not giving you that story about buying it off craig’s list what does that sound like. Yeah I personally think that this site has helped all of us understand what a drug deal is like. once we get there…”you got the money?” “you got the package? then we gotta deal.” Ok so the real interaction really didn’t happen that way. They were really nice people and all but the intial talk was that way if some one was ease dropping they would really think that i love cocaine. I do love me some cocaine…joking. but i love how this little experiacnce made me realize this. So next time you try to buy something off craig’s list and see what happens in the deal and try to compare it. At the end take out the name of the object you were buying and you just had your self a drug deal.

Congrats.

-MeaD.

P.S. As for the Wii Fit we didn’t really get to play with it a lot last night.  christina and i registered ourselves and thats it. ill give you a update when i really start to use it on how great or not great it is.

So I’m A Tool.

yeah. I’m a Tool. i have been placing myself in a lot of social networking groups. i originally did it cause i was trying to find the latest and greatest sites and networks for work. now i am updating them all the time. cause i found a site that can update all of these at once. i do keep finding a lot of great sites that could be beneficial but i am finding sites that have no point to them at all. I know these sites are going to be some of the big sites eventually. some sites just like twitter but a little more to it. If you know twitter you know it. but trying to explain twitter and what it does well it just doesn’t make sense when you are saying it. so why do i want to know what you are doing. i just saw you. well any way i am now going to combine a lot of my pages to one so you can just go to the MeaD’s Groups page to click on all the different groups and networks i am connected too now. So enjoy.

Oh! Thats What Those Are For…

 

So a little background here my mom is super mom. Growing up and currently you can operate on any surface of her house. She doesn’t settle for spick and span it has to be sterile. So my wife i love her more than anything in the world but she is not domestic in any way. i do 90% of the cooking & laundry This is not me complaining either i don’t mind it some times but sometimes i just don’t want to do and those sometimes we don’t eat. When i lived on my own my apartment was pretty clean. Mostly cause i was the only one picking up things and i knew i made the mess so i cleaned it up. our house is kinda clean most the time and it starts to become a disaster eventually just cause i see something she left out and i don’t want to clean it up its her job to do it. It happens the other way around too i am defiantly not innocent on this either. so We got a Maid. yes a maid i never thought we would do it. we live conformably enough to do and quite honestly to have a nice clean house (now that i have seen it) it is worth it. so yesterday was the first day for our maid and i was expecting dusting picking trash vacuum and bam! check please. but no this place was amazing she washed all our dishes and reorganized our kitchen to work better and i am one that usually gets upset when something is messed up in my kitchen i like where i put things but she moved everything around. but quite honestly i like it better and she didn’t even finish all the things she wanted to do she said. i was amazed. coming home to a clean house is awesome.
