The point is, my 360 broke. I wanted to express my sadness in the second most depressing form in existence, after My Chemical Romance songs.

I still have to wait for my Xbox. I sent it a week ago. Now, I probably won't get it until January.
Totally sucks that your 360 broke too, Ty.

This happened a while ago but I have been without Internets but I was giving a friend a ride after school and we went down a road that has an alternate exit and a car who didn't see me cause another car was in his way and he went and I tboned him going thirty miles an hour was knocked out for a sec got out noticed it was one of my friends, and that if I didn't stomp on the brake he wouldve died. Then like 6 hours later the adrenaline wore off and I felt extreme pain in my ribs, knee and mouth. My ribs were bruised so bad I had some red spots on the bruise my knee was not completely in place and my front two teeth were loose, but a month later the only thing still bugging me is my ribs.

@Seph, I'm glad you're okay. That brought back bad memories of the time I t-boned a Suburban in a Cutlass Supreme at 45mph. It was a 65 year old guy and his mom. They barrel rolled once but thankfully stayed out of on-coming traffic. She was taken in an ambulance as a precaution but I heard she was okay. My car crumpled all the way up to the windshield (which only got a small crack) and I was fine. Thank god I was wearing my seatbelt.
Again, I'm glad to hear the wounds in your encounter are relatively minor and that your friend is okay too. Hope you feel better soon. Take care man and drive safe.

went and bought the 3 month sub card for xbox live, cause my sub ran out today, so i go to use it and it goes to update profile and well it's unavailable at this time. so no i can't play xbox 360 games unless i wanna start a new offline game, and i'm like **** that, i don't work tomorrow so i am gonna keep inputting my gamertag and email until it works. i got 1 liter left of my code red to keep me, once that is gone, it's game time whether the xbox is working or not, someone is gonna get hurt. (probably me)
fixed the problem:
disconnect ethernet cable going from xbox to router and plug it directly to the cable modem. worked almost instantaneously. i feel all geeky now cause i fixed it without having to contact xbox's 1800 number. 
Battle is a pure form of expression. It is heart and discipline, reduced to movement and motion. In battle, the words are swept away, giving way to actions-- mercy, sacrifice, anger, fear. These are pure moments of expression.

Alright, so in a fit of sheer nothing else to do I decided to get back into Halo 3 ranked matches. I got from rank 33 in lone wolves to 42. And then ran headfirst into a brick f***ing wall. It took about 2 and a half hours to get from 33 to 42, and then the next 2 hours were filled with nothing but sheer balls to the wall bulls***tery. In the myriads of matches that occured within those 2 hours, I didn't place better than third at all. Some were even 4th or 5th place.
God. F***ing. Damnit.

Okay, so tonight I just was having a bad night and I was playing with my swiss army knife. Then I tried to close the end after I had two attachments open, and one of them was a knife. The knife closed on my finger. Needless to say, it bled quite a bit, but I don't need stitches thankfully. Big, clunky bandage on my index finger though.

I hit 2 cars yesterday at 40mph at around 3:45pm. T-boned a SUV and hit an old Monte Carlo headon. I was in my sister's Ford Focus. I crumpled the front up. My head hit the airbag and my hands hit the dashboard. My knuckles are bruised up and it hurts to type right now. Left clavical is bruised from the seatbelt, my forehead is cut up a little bit, and my rubs are killing me. It hurts to breathe and talk. I got checked out at the hospital and they said nothing is broken. I still have a pounding headache from yesterday.
It's a crummy picture from my cellphone but this is whats left if it.

Yea the same with you Seph. Terrible business car crashes are. My brother told his girlfriend about it and she told her mom. Well her mom miss heard her and thought I died in the crash. She had flowers sent to my mom and brother. My immediate family was at the hospital waiting for me to get there.

Well, it was giving me a red light in the bottom right corner, which means there is an error of some sort, but it's not the red ring. But, I got it to work, so it's fine for the moment being.

Holy cow, Jebs, I hope you're feeling better.
I broke a tooth a few months back. I didn't think much of it at the time and just figured that I'd have it fixed the next time I went to the dentist.
Unbeknownst to me was that when I broke the tooth it cut my gum badly. I'm cruising along a few months later, feeling relatively fine when I start to get some pretty bad mouth pain so first thing that Monday morning I call the dentist and schedule an appointment for as soon as he could get me in - two weeks later. No big deal. I figured I could just take some pain killers and hold out a couple weeks.
If my life was game show, here's where you would be hearing the, "YOU LOSE", sad horn sound.
By that Friday I was taking over 1000mg of pain killers every three hours and could still barely stand. I can only liken the sensations running through my body at that point to being strung up by my big toes and beaten with wooden dowels wielded by small Mexican children running in circles around my withered body; hoping that if they hit me just right, I would crack open and surrender unto them my sweet sweet sugar candies.
Saturday morning I somehow managed to drive six hours to Iowa for an emergency doctors visit. Yes, I had to drive myself because my brother and his wife wanted to go out on Friday. Thanks guys. When I get there I finally get some epic amounts of penicillin into me and I'm reigned back in from the brink of outer darkness. As it turns out, I had gotten a bacterial flesh infection through my gum that had spread all the way down to the tops of my legs. As added bonuses, the stress on my system had caused my adrenals to completely shut down, I had developed a mild addiction to prescription pain killers and, oh yes, as it turns out I'm also allergic to penicillin so I was able to enjoy a zesty bout of hives through the recovery process.
This was about a month ago and I've since pretty much recovered completely.

Oooh. Well, me and 19 other people rented a limo for St Patty's. Its going all well and good until we get to a night club called Pub St George. A: Its as crowded as Hell after the Crusades and B: I can't find anyone once we get inside. That is, of course, until our friend (a girl, mind you) comes up to us crying. Apparently, her bro-in-law stepped on someone's shoe, apologized, and got beaten for it. She turned into that drunken dumb girl that hops into the fray with people twice her size and gets hit in the face. Me, I'm hammered. Making it worse: I have whiskey running through my veins. The fight is on. The only problem is that the police have been rolling around, not that that stops me from screaming at the guy. That is until someone from our group grabs me by the throat and drags me away. Then I get into his face and the next thing I remember is being dragged back to the limo by 10 people. So now, my throat is still sore. But aside from that, people think I'm now a really stand-up guy. So thats good.

Oh my god, I just heard that a high school buddy of mine passed away this weekend. His son found him and couldn't wake him up. Christ, he was only 20 and his kid found him. I can't believe this... The obituary

Bump.
My grandfather is dying. Him and the rest of my Mother's family live about 5~6 hours away in Southern Indiana. We're leaving now. It's going to be a rough week/weekend. . . .
Please, I ask for all your prayers if that's your sort of thing as we deal with this. We have a very large family. My mother is one of eleven children, so it gets to be a very emotional time when something like this happens.
Wish us for the best.
I'll try to get online while I'm gone to keep you all updated.

Thanks for the concern, everyone.
We got here and got to see him. It was very reminscent of when my grandmother passed away. He is totally unresponsive and hasn't moved for over 30 hours. His breathing is really labored and sporadically he'll go about 20 seconds without taking a breath.
Everyone else in the room holds their breath, too.
The doctors gave him 24 hours to live at some point yesterday afternoon, but they said the same about my grandmother and she held on for over a week, so we will see what happens.
Thankfully it's just old age. He's 94. He's never been sick a day in his life. He had no medical records until he was 92. He had never even been in a hospital. He was the epitomy of perfect health and fitness, so I guess it's just his time, you know?
My family is taking it kind of hard, though.
And totally, Bongo. I don't know if my aunt's wireless is fast enough for Skype. This is southern Indiana, after all. But we'll see.

Never thought I'd say this, but...
I appreciate it M@rs. Really, I do.
But, while I'm at it, I should point out that not just Christians pray. Nor was my request religion/faith-specific.
