Wal-Mart and Nintedo's Wii

Yesterday I went to the Kewanee [Illinois] Wal-Mart. I arrived at 5:15pm and was number 19 according to how many people in line. (This is the most important part of why I am so pissed.) Ok, I was told by other Wal-Mart's you can only buy ONE Nintendo Wii per household. I was also told, due to curfew issues, people under the age of 16 had to be accompanied by an adult. Then, I was told those people were one person and could ONLY get one. I was even told that they WILL NOT sell the system to anyone who leaves the line for more than 10 minutes per 90 mintues. First off, I thought the rules were REALLY fucked up... I was not even in line yet. I decided to get in line any ways.

Again I arrived at 5:15pm. AT NO POINT DID WAL-MART MANAGEMENT COME OUT AND ADDRESS THE CROWD!!! People were leaving the line ALL THE FUCKIN TIME!!! Here is what REALLY pisses me off. A group of people, who were not even there all the time, bought 8 Wii's. Huh, they left together and their kids EACH bought a Wii. I would say something about this group, but then people would think I am racist. Hmmm... Where was Wal-Mart's management team then? It seems to me that Wal-Mart just doesn't give a fuck about there customer's.

I know I wrote a paper on why Wal-Mart is the devil in college. I should actually try to get it published now. I can even add in the part about how Wal-Mart's management team thinks EVERYONE is below them. I just cannot type these words right now... I will update with an audio post later...

***UPDATE***
I wanted to let everyone know that my brother DID get a Wii at Walmart. I am VERY happy he, at least, was able to purchase a system. I was only 3 behind him...

A very pissed off,
Andrew

Talk about a Game

I started watching the Bears game tonight and was pissed. The Bears were losing 20-0. I turned the game off because I was mad about the performance. I think the Bears were overlooking the Cardinals...

I started playing NHL 07 for the XBox 360. I needed to keep my mind off of the game. I will never watch a Bears game in Galesburg. You see, I usually watch ALL Bears games with my brother and father. Tonight I wanted to stay in Galesburg... I guess I should start watching all the games in Kewanee. I cannot take the stress of watching games by myself.

I know the whole thing about where I watch the games does not matter, but I guess as a fan, I need to support my team with my family. Well the next Chicago Bears game is not until October 29th. I hope I can get some people over for the game!

Friday the 13th

I swear this entire week has been the 13th. Not only have we had a bad week, but we have to replace 3 engines in vehicles and 1 transmission. When it rains, it pours... I am getting REALLY pissed off about this... It is weird... I got 6 people approved for car loans and they do not want the car now... They do not even give me a reason... Ironically, this has been happening more and more.
Oh well, my closing ratio is still high and I still tell my customers the truth. I really like selling cars and helping people who had credit problems.

What has been going on?

This last week has been really weird. I had something come out of me... My father and I were talking and a name was sad that pissed me off... I seriously do not like this kid's name. You see, i made a mistake a long time ago by hiring a couple of people. Everything was going smoothly and then I started to make mistakes. I ended up making a mistake that hurt 9 lives. I nk about it very much, but sometimes I hope and sometimes know they are doing great.

I have been doing a tell all type of book over the last 2 years. I hope I can finish the book in the next year or so. I can then tell my side of the story. I just need some time to go by...

I am just glad I have not made the same mistake. I know I never will...

Modding your XBox

Over the last few days I have been installing a modchip into my XBox. I had some issues with shipping, but that is not a big deal. I installed the chip with ease and should of had the entire project done in 25 minutes... TOPS! I cannot wait to do another one. Around 11:30am on Monday, I spent the next 8 hours trying to get the fuckin bios to work... Around 8:45pm, I found out the bios I downloaded was not good. I had to go do the ole IRC bullshit. I got the file and BAM!; ROX my BOX.

So why am I talking about this? I was VERY upset and no one could help me. I spent the better part of the day doing nothing. If any one has questions, I will answer some of them.

Now, I can play Halo 2, Madden 07, and more on the fly. PLUS, I can run DVD's. I can also stream movies (divx, xvid, avi, etc..) and music without a media center pc. Even when I do get a media center pc, I can then stream content from my XBox 360 and my XBox. One up stairs and one down stairs.

Can I play on XBox Live? Yes. I am using another one of my names and played Halo 2 for an hour. I am able to completely disable the mod chip. I just wish I could play the games from the hard drive on XBox Live.

I hope that you have a better time modding your XBox. I had some trouble, but I was able to use some of my smarts to work through the issues.

What were you doing five years ago?

I can remember it like it was yesterday.

It was a Tuesday... I smoked a little the night before...
I woke up to Mancow and some of them where crying and yelling. I thought it was an act...
I looked at the TV and saw
Called Heather...
The day was just really weird...
I had to goto Bloomington, IL to drop off and pickup a film in the Daytona...
I talked to a friend of mine, who is in the service, just was getting pissed...
I got gas in Earlville, IL and I waited 30 minutes in line...
I sat there wondering what I can do to help out...

There is more to the story, but you can probably fill the rest in. The one thing that got me going was on Thursday. WWE Smackdown! was live. Vince came out and did his thing. At that point, I knew this country could get through anything. I just wish Austin, I do not care for him too much, could have stunned Bin Laden 10 times.

This is going to be a weird day tomorrow...

Hog Days [SUCKS!] and more

What is going on peeps?

This weekend is Hog Days... Yeah... Hog Days...

LAME!!!

Why do I dislike Hog Days? Well, I see people I never wanted to see again. Don't get me wrong, there are 15-20 people like seeing. I always run into Jacob and we drink some beers. I do like hanging out with him though. Good old friend; we can talk to each other like we hang out all the time.

But I always see that person who was "popular" in High School and they try to be nice to me. FUCK YOU!!! Just because you have 2 friends now does not mean you have to be nicey nice to me... AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Like I said there are lots people I like running into, but I think one year off is good.

So What am I doing tonight? Heather and I are going to relax for a while. Later in the evening, my best friend Brian is coming over so we can mod my XBox. Yes; we are modding an XBox. I will have to take pictures tonight.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
