'Tis just a flesh wound....I'm not dead yet!

Nope, I"m not dead, just been kinda busy sorta....Got an X-Box for Xmas (my parents rock BTW, thanks folks) and been playing the HELL outta Halo and Need For Speed: Underground. I got Underground on 12/26 and beat it yesterday, I have no life. So now I'm playing Halo. No clue how far I am though, but I'm at the part where you gotta follow that 343 Guilty Spark fellow, The Library I belive the mission is called. The Flood keeps kicking my ass hardcore style...I give both games two big thumbs up. Overall I got a good bounty for X-Mas: Rage Against the Maching: Live at Olympic Stadium (thier last performance together) CD, Deftones/Deftones CD, Hoobastank/The Reason CD, 2Fast@Furious DVD, X-Box, Halo, '41 Willys Street Rod, '53 Ford Flipnose, clothes, stuff, etc. All for which I'm very grateful.

But I do have some sad news. Friday, 12/26 we had to put down my brother-in-laws dog. We were going to keep her while my sis and bro-in-law went on vacation, on the way over here she somehow fell out of the back of the truck. She was tied down, and as a result was dragged a short distance. She was messed up really bad, a good bit of her organs were outside her abdominal cavity. No chance a vet could help her. There were chunks of what appeared to be liver or kidey in the back of the truck. So it was either we put her down, or a vet. It took 3 .22 bullets in the head to finally get her down. She was a full grown purebreed German Massive Rotwieler. A .22 was too small for the job, but was all that was avalible. Her suffering was kept as minimal as possible. It's really sad to be digging her grave next to your own dogs grave and hear that .22 go off 20 feet behind you.

Best wishes and Hapy Holidays to everyone, I hope yours (pre 12/26) was as good as mine. Lets be safe this New Years. If your gonna drink, call a cab or sleep over, if your gonna fornicate, wrap the little man in his poncho.
