This board has been around for some time now but seems as if little is left in it. I have kept up with you gus for some time now using these message boards. We need to put this thing to use or else it will be gone in the pat. How is everyones life ? Anything interesting happening with you guys ? Im not doing shit but school. No work or nothing. I get to be fortunate enough, to not have to worry about working while I am in school.

I'm doing the do. same old thing, I find myself working longer hours, commuting more and getting less sleep. But on a broghter note, my wife and I are saving nickels and dimes to try and buy our first house. I also find that I dont play games at all anymore, and when I do find the time to play I find myself kinda scared that i'd forgotten how to play, so I just go to sleep.
I bought killzone 2 and am planning on getting resident evil 5, even tho i have plenty of games that still prolly have plenty of use. I need to get back in the grind..
Now summer is coming up and i am trying to make sure i can make the summer jam this year.. i got to get out, i've been spending too much time working and such..

How much time you spend traveling to work and back a day ? I seen a commercial where a guy said he spent 2 1/2 hours to drive like 30 miles. No way I could do that shit. Thats crazy. Think it was a commercial for oil or something seeing who has the longest commute or something. Thats just crazy though !

Life is alright.... the wife is talking about us having another child. me. myself is alittle concerned right now. the economy is shit, i just went back to full-time hours a couple weeks ago. everyone in my company was on 32 hours. 2/3 of the company are still on 32. my fear is what if i get laid off. my wife doesn't have to worry cuz she is toward the top of the food chain at her company.
but other wise i'm good. just workin, going out, playing video games.

As for me, I got a newborn and a 2 year old that is jealous of her new brother. Besides that, I am playing in 2 hockey leagues, one in Brooklyn and one in Long Island with co workers. When I am not playing hockey, or playing daddy, I work and work and work. The economy is shit so I am doing extra shit so that I can be deemed an asset to the company. ANd every once and a while, (primarily weekend nights) I get to play the xbox that is if I do not pass out first. Oh and did I mention that I am operating on about 4 to 5 hour of sleep every night and I cannot even get laid anymore cause my kids are cock blockers.
Life is no joke.

lol @ KO Shit is real nowadays man. So Joker, tell me a little bit about your job. Im heading into the Design field myself when I graduate. Hit me up with the low low on how I can score a fat paycheck. Any insider tips ? Get me a job when I graduate ? LMAO I mean I will beable to create Designs for anything along with Creating Websites and shit. Anything I should get an early jump on maybe ? I am learning HTML and shit here and there right now. Mainly in my class I am in now, I am creating graphics. Still images and shit. Like this week we have to take a verb and spell it out as to what it means. Say for instance, using the word "FREEZE". I would have to make it look frozen and shit. Nothing hard .

Honestly, if I were you, I would apply to my local newspaper for a job in graphic designing. The trend now for newspapers is the online format snce they are all losing money. Print is down, wile online readership is up. Print media will need help designing banner ads, website formates and general upkeep. It will bring in income, pad your resume and can even lead to bigger and better things down the line.

Think it was a commercial for oil or something seeing who has the longest commute or something. Thats just crazy though ! I commute about 2.5 hours each way and it's about 98 miles from end to end. I try to get an extra hour of sleep on the bus in the morning and in the afternoon i normally work on the bus.. I'm in bed by midnight and up by 4:20am.. That is what i am used to, if i fall asleep earlier, say 10pm i'll wake up at 2 and then i'm roaming around the house awake trying to fall asleep again to wake up at 4:20.. it is a bit of a stretch but i'm used to it and i love where i now live.. I wish it was closer as sometimes i want to hang in the city but i cant as the last bus is at 6:50pm. so it's either stay overnight or go home.. no in-between. My wife also wants to have another baby to make it 3 and then close shop... KO, i feel bad for you man,, ass is the major happy point of everyday. I'm on like once every 3 or 4 days and thats rough for me.. i'm used to everyday.. if it's not the kids, it's family members being over or just her being tired.. it is fucked up i'll say.. I told her maybe I should get a girlfriend so she isn't under so much pressure. but i dont think she felt that too much,, i had to dodge the broom stick once or 5 times.. i cant remember.

Haahaa No girlfriends allowed. Yea KO, I agree. I actually have seen jobs out there for design. I have looked on moster.com and other places just to see how the economy is playing with the "designers field" and it doesnt seem too bad. I know Joker said he was cut hours but thats better then being laid off.

Better late than never lol. After switching jobs last summer, I've been doing jack shit. Working and being married. Just glad I have a job. Wife is still sticking out at DHL until/if they leave. Oh yeah, have a new dog. I live such an exciting life lmao.
Seriously though, the wife is bugging me about having kids. I know I'm getting older and want one too, but with the economy like it is and her job situation, I'm scared as fuck to say yes.

Thats how I felt about having a second kid, but after the shit I went through with the first one I realized, that no matter how desolate things may look. You will always find a way to make it by. When my wife was pregnant with my first child, I just started a new job, just moved to Brooklyn, was planning a shotgun wedding (so to say), and I had this bitch co-worker that was making up lies to get me fired. By the end of the year, I was married, my daughter was born, I still had a job and at my job I finished #1 in sales in the entire country. There are time I reflect back and ask myself, "how the fuck did I do it", but in reality, when shit needs to get done, if you are a good person and a hard worker, you will find a way for it to get done.
The only negative thing I can say is that when you have kids, the first year is the hardest, you wont get pussy anymore, you will have to learn to manage your money correctly, the xbox is now a luxury, and the last is, you have to do all this shit on little to no sleep.

Today was a great day. It was in the upper 60's. I took the kids outside and they played all day. Came home they ate dinner and passed the hell out at 8pm and I finally got some pus from the wife after an almost 3 month hiatus. Yeah me. I busted the biggest nut ever in my life, I just hope I didn't get her pregnant again.
