Check out torment with the mulcher

This is for all the transplanted new yorkers
 

I am a New Yorker

=





I am a New Yorker
I do not live in the five boroughs or on the Island or Upstate
I may live hundreds or thousands of miles away
Or I may live just over the GW Bridge
But I am a New Yorker

I am a New Yorker
Whatever took me out of New York:
Business, family or hating the cold
did not take New York out of me.
My accent may have faded and my pace may have slowed
But I am a New Yorker

=





I am a New Yorker
I was raised on Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and Rockefeller Plaza,
The Yankees or the Met's (Giants or Dodgers)
Jones Beach, Rye Beach, Orchard Beach or one of the beaches on the sound

I know that 'THE END' means Montauk.
Because I am a New Yorker

=





I am a New Yorker
When I go on vacation, I never look up
Skyscrapers are something I take for granted
The Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty are part of me
Taxis and noise and subways and 'get outa heah' don't rattle me
Because I am a New Yorker

=





I am a New Yorker
I was raised on cultural diversity before it was politically correct
I eat Greek food and Italian food,
Jewish and Middle Eastern food and Chinese food
Because they are all American food to me.
I don't get mad when people speak other languages in my presence
Because my relatives got to this country via Ellis Island and chose to
stay 

They were New Yorkers

=





People who have never been to New York have misunderstood me   
My friends and family work in the industries, professions and businesses
that benefit all Americans
My firefighters died trying to save New Yorkers and non-New Yorkers   
They died trying to save Americans and non-American   
Because they were New Yorkers.

I am a New Yorker
I feel the pain of my fellow New Yorkers
I mourn the loss of my beautiful city
I feel and dread that New York will never be the same But then I
remember:
I am a New Yorker

=





And New Yorkers have:
Tenacity, strength and courage way above the norm
Compassion and caring for our fellow citizens
Love and pride in our city, in our state, in our country
Intelligence, experience and education par excellence
Ability, dedication and energy above and beyond
Faith--no matter what religion we practice
Terrorists hit America in its heart
But America's heart still beats strong
Demolish the steel in our buildings,
but it doesn't touch the steel in our souls
Hit us in the pocketbook;
but we'll parlay what we have left into a fortune
End innocent lives leaving widows and orphans,
but we'll take care of them
Because they are New Yorkers

=





Wherever we live, whatever we do, whoever we are   
There are New Yorkers in every state and every city of this nation   
We will not abandon our city   
We will not abandon our brothers and sisters   
We will not abandon the beauty,
creativity and diversity that New York represents   
Because we are New Yorkers   
And we are proud to be New Yorkers

=

REMEMBER THE WTC

Thank you Vincent for allowing us to share this with
our fellow New Yorkers all around the world.

 

 

Only those that grew up or lived in NYC can understand the meaning of
this:
 
THERE IS NO NORTH AND SOUTH. IT'S 'UPTOWN' OR 'DOWNTOWN.' IF YOU'RE
REALLY FROM NEW YORK, YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CONCEPT OF WHERE NORTH AND
SOUTH ARE...AND EAST OR WEST IS 'CROSS-TOWN.'

        

        YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE AN EGG CREAM.
        
        YOU RIDE IN A SUBWAY CAR WITH NO AIR CONDITIONING JUST BECAUSE
THERE ARE SEATS AVAILABLE.
        
        YOU TAKE THE TRAIN HOME AND YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE ON THE
PLATFORM THE DOORS WILL OPEN THAT WILL LEAVE YOU RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE
EXIT STAIRWAY.
        
        YOU KNOW WHAT A 'REGULAR' COFFEE IS.
        
        IT'S NOT MANHATTAN...IT'S THE 'CITY.'
        
        YOU CROSS THE STREET ANY WHERE BUT ON THE CORNERS AND YOU YELL
AT CARS FOR NOT RESPECTING YOUR RIGHT TO DO IT.
        
        YOU MOVE 3,000 MILES AWAY, SPEND 10 YEARS LEARNING THE LOCAL
LANGUAGE AND PEOPLE STILL KNOW YOU'RE FROM BROOKLYN, LONG ISLAND OR THE
BRONX, THE MINUTE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH.
        
        YOU RETURN AFTER 10 YEARS AND THE FIRST FOODS YOU WANT ARE A
'REAL' PIZZA AND A 'REAL' BAGEL.
        
        A 500 SQUARE FOOT APARTMENT IS LARGE.
        
       
        YOU ARE NOT UNDER THE MISTAKEN IMPRESSION THAT ANY HUMAN BEING
WOULD BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND A P.A. ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE SUBWAY.
        
        YOU WOULDN'T BOTHER ORDERING PIZZA IN ANY OTHER CITY.
        
        YOU GET READY TO ORDER DINNER EVERY NIGHT AND MUST CHOOSE FROM
THE MAJOR FOOD GROUPS WHICH ARE: CHINESE, ITALIAN, MEXICAN OR INDIAN.
        
        YOU'RE NOT THE LEAST BIT INTERESTED IN GOING TO TIMES SQUARE ON
NEW YEAR'S EVE.
        
        YOUR INTERNAL CLOCK IS PERMANENTLY SET TO KNOW WHEN ALTERNATE
SIDE OF THE STREET PARKING REGULATIONS IS IN EFFECT.
        
        YOU KNOW WHAT A BODEGA IS.
        
        SOMEONE BUMPS INTO YOU AND YOU CHECK FOR YOUR WALLET.
        
        YOU DON'T EVEN NOTICE THE LADY WALKING DOWN THE ROAD HAVING A
PERFECTLY NORMAL CONVERSATION WITH HERSELF.
        
        YOU PAY 'ONLY' $230 A MONTH TO PARK YOUR CAR.
        
        YOU CRINGE AT HEARING PEOPLE PRONOUNCE HOUSTON ST. LIKE THE CITY
IN TEXAS.
        
        THE PRESIDENTIAL VISIT IS A MAJOR TRAFFIC JAM, NOT AN HONOR.
        
        YOU CAN NAP ON THE SUBWAY AND NEVER MISS YOUR STOP.
        
        THE DELI GUY GIVES YOU A STRAW WITH ANY BEVERAGE YOU BUY, EVEN
IF IT'S A BEER.
        
        THAT'S NEW YORK, BABY!      YA GOTTA LOVE IT

Here is bush checking out the ass of a women volleyball player.  Just replace that water bottle with a bottle of Jager and some white marks on his nose and its a flashback to 20 years ago.  What a loser.

I am not a conspiracy theorist but i have seen some crazy shit about 911 that is hard to deny and i am a scientific person and the fact that no buildings in the history of the world have ever collapsed due to fire unlike WTC bulidings 1,2 and 7 did on 911 it leads me to not believe the "official story" so here is a picture that shows the bbc reporting the collapse of tower 7 on 911 20 minutes before the tower collapsed with a live feed in the background and in the picture you can clearly see tower 7 still standing.  Mysterilously the satelite feed was interupted 5 minutes before the actual time of the collapse so when the BBC were asked for there video tapes of the day they claim they were lost.  How can a worldwide news organization lose tapes from one of the craziest news days in the history of the world.  All the factual evidence from that day proves that the towers, all three buildings, were taken dwon by controlled demolition.  Who is responsible? I dont know but i do know that scientific facts regarding the collapeses and the prior knowledge of the event by the news media and government shows that what appears to have happened that day is not what really happened.  Look at the photo and decide for yourself.

Jusr thought i would do a quick update.  I got some cool pics of Maximus and our new Addition Roxy the pug who i recently purchased for my daughter.  Enjoy the pics.

This game is gonna be all kinds of scary bloody zombie killing fun.

This movie is looking great u gotta check out the trailer.

Hori has done it again they have made an incredible flight stick for the 360 and i think this is a peripheral that i will buy.  It looks like it is well made and it will really immerse the player in the battles.  Check it out.

Check this out.  what would you rather have the 360 and all that fosters or a measly ps3 and one beer.  do the math.

I love it.  CHECK THIS LINK OUT THIS IS A FIGHT I THOUGHT I WPOULD NEVER SEE.

 

Yes finally, this is why i didnt buy pacman cause the better of the two, Ms pacman is out tommorrow and i cant wait to play.

As promised the first gears of war downloadable content will be arriving on the market place on wednesday, thats right two days from now.   The content is free and includes two new multiplayer maps. Check them out at www.teamxbox.com and get geared up for some multiplayer on wednesday night. 

Last night I met up with three guys from the east coast and we played ranked games of Gears of War until 230 in the morning mst.  It was so much fun we were owning people.  Out of the 50 matches or so we only lost 3.  This is what im talking about with multiple hour sessions.  I miss the days of playing halo 2 until 2 or 3 in the morning and last night brought me back to how much fun that can be when you have a game that is superior to halo in many ways.  With only three teamates it is easy to stay together, communicate and and dominate even if we are not the best because believe me there are alot of people out there better than us at this game.  So thanks to Twipp, Jediknight and steadyeddie three cool laid back guys that have now been added to my friends list.  Making a ranked game and getting three of your friends to join is quite easy and I am hoping my other friends will be up for some ranked games with four of us challangeing random players.  Lets get back to our roots and have some sweet gameing sessions in 2007.

Happy New Year to all.  I am putting some new pics of max up as I finally got a new camera (canon powershot a540) after losing the one i bought 7 months ago.  I will definitely not lose this one it is a lot better than the other  one i had. I will probobly have some more posts up now that i have a camera.  Max is about 135 right now and his head is huge.  For the two or three people who see this i hope you enjoyed it.

The games that we have all been waiting for are soon going to be on the store shelves.  You know what im talking about, GOW, COD3. RBSV, DOAX2.  I am also looking forward to the wireless headset no more loss of communication due to cord removal by the fat rolls.  For anyone who is wondering Maximus is about to hit the 130 pound marker.  I just watched some vids on team xbox of a few guys that played the GOW multiplayer and they say it is more amazing looking then they had even imagined before Playing it.  These four games are all gonna look incredible and finally show off the real powerhouse that the 360 is.  PS3 launch games will all suck in comparison to the big 4. Any way enjoy the GOW video and i cant wait to play with you all next week.

Electronic Arts just announced that Burnout 5 is in development for the Xbox 360. Burnout 5 gives players license to wreak havoc in Paradise City, the ultimate seamless racing battleground, with a massive infrastructure of traffic-heavy roads to abuse. Gone is the need to jump in and out of menus and aimlessly search for fun like many open world games; in Burnout 5, every inch of the world is built to deliver heart-stopping Burnout-style gameplay. Every intersection is a potential crash junction and every alleyway is an opportunity to rack up moving violations.     Not doing much updating lately but i had to post this as burnout 4 revenge was a lot of fun on the xbox and we will finally have a next gen burnout to play with on the 360 instead of the lame port of revenge that EA spit out.

Max has passed the 130 pound marker here are some pics
