Smokey’s House of Paincakes

The new Xbox dashboard is out and it’s awesome! Much faster that the previous blades and really well put together!

Also, I don’t care what other people say, but I like the new Mii style avatars. I’m calling them Me60s. As you can see, that’s me on the right.

If you’re wondering how you can get your own avatar to display on your page, you can grab it here: http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/GAMER_TAG/avatar-body.png

I wouldn’t recommend linking directly to it though. The server seems to go down every once in awhile, so just get it and download it.

I will be taking a flight to Sudbury for Christmas and a flight back from Timmins in the new year. This is going to roughly cost me $400+, which isn’t so bad, but can definitely hurt the wallet this time of year.

Because of this, I now challenge myself to only spend $200 over the next two weeks, which of course is the day I get paid. If I can pull this off, then I will already have my flight covered. So that means no going out and no buying any new games. It may not seem like a big deal, but expenses build up pretty fast without even knowing it.

Here’s to me being frugal!

Every day when I come home I always found around 3 toy balls sitting beside is food dish.

Wow, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted, but I’ve been thinking lately. How badly do I need a cell phone? Do I really need to pay for such a premium service? Do I need to be able to get a hold of someone 24/7, or vice-versa?

I hardly use my phone when I’m out and about. Most times I turn it off or ignore it when I’m with friends and I wait until I get home to call people back. When I’m at work, I can be reached there, so maybe I really don’t need my cell? Maybe I just got caught up in the the technology and had to have it, but without really justifying. I don’t have a home phone, just a cell, so what if I switched it up? If I got a service like Vonage, it would be a hell of a lot cheaper than my cell, plus long distance would still be free.

What do you think? Do I need it? Do a keep a cell phone around for “Emergencies?” Do I have to pay for such a premium service? The way I see it, if I get rid of my cell, I will have completely severed my tether to the big Canadian Telecoms (Rogers and Bell). I will not have to rely on their crappy service and overpriced packages. I would be free.

I’m thinking I will, but I’m not fully decided yet. What does everyone think?? Would you miss it if I didn’t have a cellphone?

So Benny is growing a moustache, and for a good cause! It’s pretty funny, cause I’m actually growing out a full beard right now, but I wouldn’t want to steal his thunder, so please donate to Benny’s moustache growing cause by clicking the link below:

My life has become a series of inside jokes. Unfortunately, I keep meeting new people, and they just don’t get it.

Just to keep this short and simple. I refuse to buy another Sony product ever again.

That is all.

I take it you already know,
Of tough and bough and cough and dough.
Others may stumble, but not you,
On hiccough, thorough, laugh and through.
Well done! And now you wish, perhaps,
To learn of less familiar traps.
Beware of heard, a dreadful word,
That looks like beard and sounds like bird.
And dead - it’s said like bed, not bead,
For goodness’ sake, don’t call it ‘deed’!
Watch out for meat and great and threat,
(They rhyme with suite and straight and debt).
A moth is not a moth in mother,
Nor both in bother, broth in brother.
And here is not a match for there,
Nor dear and fear for bear and pear.
And then there’s dose and rose and lose –
Just look them up – and goose and choose.
And cork and work and card and ward,
And font and front and word and sword.
And do and go and thwart and cart –
Come, come, I’ve hardly made a start!
A dreadful language? Why man alive!
I’d mastered it when I was five.

Woo! My buddy won free tickets to Evil Dead: The Musical, but can’t attend, so bow I’m the lucky recipient. I wanted to see this show for awhile now and free is good by me.

I’ll keep you posted on how it is.

I recently upgraded my phone to the latest firmware and with the beauty of the app store, I can now write posts on the fly. Not that I actually will, but at least now I know I can.
