The Cynic Says……

I’ve been posting all those articles I found amusing, but not much of anything pertaining to myself… I suppose it’s just the simple fact that we’ve been so damn busy at work, I haven’t had much time for anything else. Nothing interesting has really happened at all lately aside from taking my drug test for work and whatnot. I know I passed it as I simply don’t do any drugs. I also got some good news in that my income taxes are not going to be withheld this year… I had originally gotten a letter that the Department of Education was going to withhold my income tax refund this year because I have a defaulted student loan. However, they just sent me another one that said they’ve decided that they’re not going to but did not list a reason. Needless to say, I’m not complaining at all… I’ve been playing a lot of Call of Duty lately, and oddly enough not multiplayer, but single player. The single-player missions are lots of fun, actually, and follow along with many of the historically significant events of WWII (for the Allies, of course). Strangely enough, they don’t re-enact landing on the beaches of Normandy or the Battle of the Bulge or anything like that. It’s almost like they’ve thrown in their own scenarios that could have happened on the side during those same major events. I think the only one I’ve run across so far that I know to be at least mostly historically accurate is the Russians taking back Red Square in Stalingrad and eventually pushing the Germans back through Poland into Germany. I have to say driving a tank and blowing shit up was tons of fun, and as of right now I’m on a mission where I have to blow up a couple of V2 launch pads. Needless to say, it’s a wonderful game and anyone with a decent system who enjoys first person shooters should go out and buy the game. It’s worth your money, no doubt. Next game I buy will be Splinter Cell, I’m sure. They have a multiplayer expansion coming out that is supposed to kick mucho ass, so I’ll be curious to see that when it comes out. Nothing else worthwhile to post at the moment.. Today’s payday, so I’m happy about that… gotta pay rent, though, so there goes $240 of the unspecified amount of money I have after cashing my checks and all. I also owe First Tennessee Bank $140 that I need to pay off so I can open another checking account somewhere (or another one there, whatever). Anyway, I’m done catching up for now… read me later
