The Devil Rays lost in game 5 tonight. It was the first time the Devil Rays reach the world series since the team was established in 1998. They had a hard time gettin there. Their pennant game was against the Red Sox where they won in Game 7. I was just about for sure the Red Sox had that game. The Devil Rays did this with some great players hopefully they keep this up next year.

The Philadelphia Phillies is a team that has been around since 1883 winning their first World Series in 1980. This year will be their 2nd World Series. The good thing is won in their field, they can have the celebration at the home town. When the Red Sox won in 2004, not having won since 1918 ended up winning in the St Louis home field. So they had to come back to celebrate the next day. I would of loved to be in Philly right now, I can only imagine the parties going on.

Todays game was with the Crew team on a nicely cold evening. I only had 6 players which left me with only one player to subsitiute. The cold and the fact that I really couldnt sub my players out really put preasure on us. Dani was feeling sick so he was asking to sit out basicaly most of the time. Taylor again was being just fierce on that field but for some reason he kept trippin over his own legs a couple of times. He came very close about 4 times to that goal. Fabrizio almost had the first goal but tried his power slide but missed the ball right in front of the goal. He managed to get the ball out of the crowd and went in for a very nice goal for our team. He tried it again a few more times but he was just to tired, he did not sit out the entire game. Dani stoped the ball a couple times, sent it out a few times but just complained about how his throut hurt so he didnt give it 100%. Lets just hope next week I wont be missing so many players.

Dead Space Xbox360

Dead Space a horror action game, a game that honestly playing in the dark will freak you out. I play my games on a 42in wide screen with surround sound. The back speakers will all of a sudden hear some sounds and whispers, it would cause me to turn around several times. The graphics of the game are amazing, even though everything is in the dark. You get aboard a mining ship that seems to be abandoned but once they get on it seems to full of some sort of monsters. The over the shoulder view is nice, I like the Hud display in front of you, it shows you the video logs and all your displays. You only have one rifle and all your other wepons are really tools used as guns. When your aiming your gun your man is kind of stiff and cant really move much, so theres no run and gun really. I like the slaping or the stompin of your monsters, gives you a really nice cut scenes. The only thing I didnt like about the levels are the running back and forth. Theres hit the switch here then go back and hit the switch there, of course monsters pop out in different places but damn I hate running through the same spots. As of this moment I am half way and yea I enjoy the game, its a change from the typical action game. Horror is good on a game. I keep hearing that this is too similar to Bioshock. Thats my next game to play after this.

Happy Birthday Daniel!!!

Daniel had his 6th Birthday this past saturday. Since its slow close to halloween we do a costume party. Daniel and Fabrizio were Ninjas, Me and Gorda were supose to be tattoo bikers but I only ended up doing it alone. The first guest to arrive were my friend Elkin and his wife and kids. My Dad as usual didnt feed the horses. I took Elkin and wife to show them the horses and the process of feeding. His wife was all dressed up and of course he was braggin about how hot his wife looks. I wasnt sure what mi Gorda was gonna wear but I was sure FINE as usual. She looked great! and of course my turn to brag.

All the kids showed up in the costumes, I started the games and prizes. We had plenty of kids to play the games more than once. We had different winners each time. The pinata didnt last long, Daniel had the first hit, then little Jaci, then fabrizio and I dont remember who ended up breaking it up. It ended up having a few dollar bills, so the kids were fighting for the money instead of the candy. Pizza and hotdogs for every one then back on the moon walk. We had of course we had our costume contest, the same kid that one last year one this year as well. This kids mother really knows how to dress up her kid.

We had a great time, lots of food and beer. Plenty of guest as usual, more than expected. I wish the adults would have dressed up like we did the past years. I always wanted to do the whole matching costumes with mi Gorda.

PeeWee Soccer Tie Game

Great game for the Hurricanes today as they tied thier most difficult oppnents. Fabrizio was gettin a habbit of staying back to protect the goal. I told him to move up and give me a goal and thats the first thing he does. Great kick with that strong left kick of his. When we brought Tyler in the game, he showed so much improvement from the last times he played. He was running hard charging into the other teams just dominating the other team with the ball. He came close several times from half field to hitting the goal post. I am really looking forward to seeing him next weeks game. Jose was doing some great defensive kicks from half court, once he took it all the way in for the goal. The Hurricanes were doing some great defensive kicks to keep the other team from the goal. Dani seemed a little slow today but still had some great plays and once got close to the goal. The Hurricanes are doing a wonderful job each game we have. We had the game 3-2 when the other team tied the game the last 2 min of the game. Great job guys.

Carnival Sunday

Started off a little lazy, was actually starting to think I was gonna spend the Sunday alone. Mi Gorda surprised me by coming over spending the Sunday together. We started off by eating some tamales here at the house, mine was to spicy but Mi Gorda and she dont like spice at all, then took off to the blessed trinity carnival. On the last day Sunday they have the $20 wristband. Everybody in Ocala was present, lines were long but the rides were so short that well so was the wait. Fabrizio and Dani had a great time, some of the rides they rode more than once. It felt good havin Mi Gorda and Fabrizio around, its the closest feeling to a family. Thanks Gorda. Since we have Daniel birthday costume party, we went shopping for costumes, both Fabrizio and Dani want to be Ninjas with swords. Yo y Mi Gorda are gonna dress up as tattoo bikers I guess. I wanted her to dress up as Pocahontas, my mother use to refer to her as that. And I just thought, that would be the funniest shit ever. Eventually she will dress up as that one of these years, or nights LOL. We see how it turns out, the nephew turns 6.

After the shopping my friend Elkin had tickets to the Bucs game in Tampa. I lived 2 years and Tampa, I have drove by the stadium during a game and this was my first time at the Bucs stadium. Stadium was fairly packed, ticket scalpers were selling tickets at $40, diffenently worth taking Mi Gorda and Fabrizio. By half time the Bucs were in the lead by 14. The Devil Rays were playin in Boston at the same time and they had the score bored up during the game and TVs out in the stands of the game, so most people felt the Buc game was int he bag and they were out watchin the Devil Rays. Devil Rays ended with a win taking them to the World Series. I wouldnt mind getting my hands on some tickets to that.

PeeWee soccer game 5 for the Hurricanes. We Havn’t won a game yet, but the kids sure as hell are learning how to play harder and smarter. My nephew Dani is getting much quicker with his foot moving. The only thing he needs to work on is his running speed. Fabrizio has a much stronger defense kick, he likes to stay back and guard the goal. It saved our ass several times, I just wish he would move up and try to use that kick on the goal. The rest of the players are learning so much, they dont crowd the ball as much and they seem to pass it more often. I am really enjoying myself, we havnt won a game yet but we sure as hell having much fun. We will eventually win a game I’m sure. My players just need to get a feel for the game. Every Wednesday is our games at the Sportscomplex behind the airport.

Sunday afternoon, they day of my mothers birthday but her and my father took off to Orlando, so we decided to go into town. We started off at Golden Corral. Sundays seems to be packed with people  coming out of church to stuff themselves. I had me every kind of meat they served, I only forgot the crabed meat. I saw it on the way out. Next stop was the local Best Buy so Gorda can by my  mother a gift. I gave her a digital camera and she got her the memory stick and a very stylish carryin case. The new Guitar Hero and Rock Band 2 was on display so Fabrizio, Dani and me played for a while. Rock Band 2 has a new set of drums out, better kick pedal and softer drum pads. The guitar seemed better also, the last one didnt have the click on the strum bar. It felt like you werent really hittin the note. I seen a very nice drum kit online that you can buy seprate from the game. It had the symbals and the drum pads set up like a real drum kit. I might just end up buy the game and gettin the drum kit seprate. Anyways, we headed towards EasyStreet for some Go-Karts and Mini Golf. Family pack of 10 rides for $50 and about $20 worth of tokens took up the entire day. Fabrizio seemed to really enjoyed the air hockey, only rode twice on the Go-Karts. He bumped his mouth on the side of the Kart and well starts cryin of course. They played a round of mini golf, they both seemed to enjoy the game. Dani seems to really get a hang of the game. He wants to take it more serious. It was a great sunday, parents came home around 9 showing off the pictures. She enjoyed the trip, I guess she wanted to be alone with my pops.

Battlefield Bad Company Xbox360

Lately I been playing plenty of Bad Company. I haven’t finished the single player campaign, since Battlefield is not about single player I played about an hour of single player just to get a hold of the controls. The controls are ok, the knife button is way off. Its really hard sometimes to come up to a person and knife him, which by the say is awesome, you knife kill a player and you take his dog tags, they are kept on your stats window of all the players dog tags. I got this game for my birthday a month ago from mi Gorda, I just really havnt gotten around to play it much, well mainly cause she also got me GTAIV and tell that just takes up alot of time. Bad company is a great game, it doesnt come close to COD4 but since I have played that game so much time for a new multi. Xbox360 keeps gettin these games that really only the PC was capable of playing. Games like this and COD4 is only keeping the Xbox alive for more years to come. Its been around since 2005 and still the top gaming system. The original Xbox was around Four years before the 360 came out. Well 4 years coming up around the corner and no word about a new system. But honestly this new system will have to include some amazing things. What do you guys think it should have? I think it should have the fallowing,

  • the obvious better graphics and processor
  • wireless controllers of course
  • HDTV cause honestly if you dont have HD by now, your no gamer
  • built in wireless networking
  • backwards camb with the xbox360
  • the abilty to plug into two TVs to not have to play split screen
  • able to play large matches, up to 64 players online
  • video streamin webcam during all games in co op
  • you know now that I think about it, the xbox360 is gonna be around for a while, 3 years min more

Watchin Midnight Meat Train

I dont really remember this movie ever going to theaters. Turns out only was released in 100 theaters nation wide. This movie would of done great in a world wide opening. This movie would done what Saw did. Saw was a low budget movie, as this was; Released by Liosgate, as this was. As you can see in the pic Vinnie Jones is the butcher in this train. Vinnie seem to not talk much in any of his movies, I guess he is all face, but in the movies where he talked and did great acting were in both Lock Stock and two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. He played the hit man Bullet Tooth Tony. Which in Lock Stock it was his first film done on screen. The famous Guy Ritchie brought him to the big screen.

This movie has a great feel, some Jap director did some amazing job with the camera angles, I really enjoyed with they are fighting on the train, the camera keeps spining around. Bradley Cooper, you remember him as the Jack ass boyfriend from Wedding Crashers, is the photographer that catchs some images that brings him to this meat train. The movie has a crasy twist at the end, not a happy ending. Very recommend movie, like I said since it didnt make it to theaters the only way your even gonna find out about this movie is seeing on the shelves of Blockbuster or Netflix.

This weeks movie is Shia LaBeouf’s Eagle Eye. It starts off very strong with Shia getting threaten to do many things. The very cute Michelle Monaghan is also involved in these threats being done by the phone. She was wonderful and just made me fall for her in Made of Honor movie. I remember her for the first time in the Mission Impossible 3, but she didnt really catch my eye. Now she looked great in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, but in MOH she just made me fall for how she was the guys best friend then realized they were ment for each other. It just brings back so much of memories. Weeeell, back to Eagle eye, this movie has some great action car scenes. Shia is turning into a great actor, he is very easily going to become the new Tom Hanks or Tom Cruise. So far this guy is just making blockbuster after blockbuster. I really enjoyed the high tech gadgets the show up throughout the movie. They showed all the Sprint phones in the movie, mostly the HTC Touch, even a Nextel phone. Great movie, must see.

El Taxco Mexican Restuarant

Tonight we had a family dinner out to the mexican restuarant El Taxco. We didnt catch the Marachi group as they are only on thursday. Friday seems to be Karaoke night. So basicly drunk white people singing rock songs. I might have to say this will be my most favorite mexican restuarant in town. This place has a huge list of combinations to chose from. I have only been to this place with Mi Gorda and tonight I didnt have her company. Didnt feel right, I know for sure that I would’nt be able to bring another girl here LOL.

Thursday Marachi nights are worth attending. These guys put on a great show. They seem to know many songs that we asked for, of course the white folks dont know any so they were just basicly singing the most reconized marachi songs. We some times sing along on the songs we call our songs to sing when we are drunk. These songs really just make me want to burst out crying.

Pee Wee Soccer games started off with a 3-2 lost against the Ocala Storm. The other team started off strong with there surprisingly small player scored 3 goals in the first 5 min of the game. The other team didnt have enough players to substitud players, so we had to take breaks because their players were getting too tired. Game was getting good, they kept the ball mostly on the other teams side. The hurricanes just had some bad aim trouble or they would get to excited and lose control of the ball. My nephew Dani managed to score 2 goals the last 5 min of the game. He is getting much more confident the more he plays. Fabrizio was absent from the game, we really needed his defense and his strong goal kicks. Since I am coaching the game I dont really have a chance to take any pictures. I will try to get my mother or mi Gorda to take some pictures the next game.

Road Trip to Mexico

As you all have notice that I have been absent for the past 2 weeks. I just took off with my uncle that exports cars to Juarez. I haven’t taken a road trip since last year when I went off to Oklahoma City. It was a lonely trip even thou my uncle was there with me. The road trip was a good alone time to think about so many things in my life. I wanted my Gorda to be with me so bad, but yet I had to be away from so many things.

My route was I-75 from Ocala, FL north to I-10 heading west all the way to El Paso. Day One was all the way to Beaumont Tx. Our first stop to by diesel was just outside of Pensacola at a Pilot truck stop. We prepaid $80 but the pump stopped at $45. We went inside to bitch and turns out they ran out of diesel. No problem for us we will just head to next stop but the long ass line of Semi Trucks out to almost the Interstate. Somebody is gonna lose their job for not ordering enough, or the delievery guy is late. We wanted to drive at least till midnight but we spent hours finding a Hotel, every Hotel that was stopped was no vacancy. All Hotels full of hurricane relief workers. We were about 40 miles from Galveston Tx where most of the damage was done. From Lake Charles to Houston most of the street signs were knocked over, most gas stations were running off Generators.
