Console vs Console

   Just the other day I was reading an article on G4's website, I decided to comment. That's when I noticed the comments had turned into a fanboy argument. Once again its the old ps3 is better then Xbox and vice versa.
  You would think by now it would have gotten a bit better but no its still idiot vs idiot. Each system has its pros and cons, depending on what you like to play and which exclusives you prefer more. Whether it be Halo or Killzone, they're all good. So why in the hell cant people just play their games and stop trying to convince the world that they have the superior console? The harder you try the more it looks like your trying to convince yourself that you bought the right one. Play your game enjoy your console of choice (or both) and shut the @#$& up people! 

Race and Attractiveness

For the longest time (actually always) those two things have played a part in my life, not in a huge way like some sort of Oscar winning story line about having to deal with racism or ugly people having inner beauty and what not, but just in a subtle way. All my life since I was a kid I was told I was unattractive by my peers (no this is not an attempt to get words of encouragement that im not that ugly I know im not.) any ways, in high school I was out right told I was "ugly" now when your a teen or younger that can be really devastating. Mind you now I'm no "Brad Pitt" but I think im pretty cool. thats just the way its been, even today I get the occasional remark, subtle as it may be its still there. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder but some people just have a harder time of it than others.

Racism, well actually I don't know really if I could call it that, maybe more along the lines of being stereo typed, I'm Hispanic and to some people that means that I should love to work out doors, that I'm really strong, that I speak perfect Spanish, and that I should not know much about the modern world ( you might ask why not the chiseled Latin hunk type you see in movies? well I mentioned earlier looks play a part in that), if you didn't know me, I look like just swam across the river so to speak. The generic I work in the fields possible illegal alien Mexican stereo type. So naturally when I have a good idea at work I just get a nod but when some one else has a simular idea (some one who is more attractive or not a so so looking Hispanic they get a bit more attention. Maybe other people feel this way maybe not, this is how I feel, now I don't raise to much of a fuss because I do get heard , I just have to try a little harder than my good looking or non Hispanic counterparts. Well hopefully anyone reading this isn't offended by me because im not outraged or because they think I am making something out of nothing, but if anyone else deals with subtle or outright stereo typing or being a little over looked because of your "looks" well you are not alone. remember just because a person looks a certain way doesn't mean they are.

I love technology, (why did I say that? eh I just do)

A departure from the norm

Ok its been a while but hey, here I am. Today there is no rambling just a proud dad, you see my youngest son Caleb, has been writing scribbles on paper or old note books or almost anything he can write on. He said he wants to be a published writer someday, so we figured he could try to maintain his own blog (with a little supervision from mom and dad of course) little stories from the mind of Caleb he does have a morbid sense of humor so its mostly ghost/zombie/monster stories. could my son be the next Steven King? well at least he learn some typing skills and what not. Who knows perhaps fame and fortune await him if he truly enjoys writing. or maybe this is the beginning of a life long hobby? as long as hes happy and he loves what he does its all good :)

Has Microsoft gone to far?

I am speaking about Xbox live policy enforcement, I have been reading their forums, the ones in regards to suspensions, only to see that people are being permanently banned for playing a game early. Now by no means should you be able to get away with it, but permanent suspension? that's going to far maybe it should be like if you play the game 2 weeks early, your suspension lasts until 2 weeks after the games release. Many other things are disturbing as well, apart from the obvious reasons, swear words, sexual orientation, religion, scamming and so forth on a profile that do warrant suspensions but there are others that don't quite make sense, one person was band and the response from enforcement team was that he had his real name on his profile, yet xbox live has a place to put your actual name on your bio!
Xbox live should definitely continue to police their product, They provide a good service, and I'm sure that it is not an easy job policing millions of users. Maybe they should change there terms and code of conduct, just a little bit, perhaps with the help of actual user input through surveys or polls. It's good to be politically correct just don't take it to far. Maybe they should also consider giving the individual user more power to block what they don't want to see or hear for themselves.

A little free time

   
So I had a bit of free time and I was looking around firefox add ons, and one of them had a comment of "this works a bit like "flock" so I googled and here I am typing my blog using flock to manage all my social media needs, even though no one knows I blog or twitt or anything alse for that matter but ohwell. This is pretty cool.
