World of Warcrap!

When I heard about World of Warcraft (WOW) online game then I decided that I start played World of Warcraft back to 2005 for several months then quit playing it due to the personal life situation right before the release of Burning Crusader expansion.  That game was very enjoyable and lots of stories which happened right after Warcraft III.  Until recently, as soon as the release of Wrath of the Lich King expansion, I want to go back to playing to see how I feel about that.  Yes, it’s kinda of addicting but I had to be careful not to being heavily addicted to that since I have a better life to do than sitting there and playing all day and night which I used to playing Ultimate Online and Diablo II (with Lord of Destruction expansion) back to the college years.  Unforunately, I start noticed that Ventrilo (the voice chat software) is getting more popular for Massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG).  So, that means lots of players are now depending on Ventrilo for voice communicating with each other during the big raids.  Since I’m not capable to hearing anything due to my deafness, therefore, the Ventrilo is worthless and useless to me and lots of the raid guilds don’t want me to be in their guild due to my inability of hearing over the Ventrilo then I decided to bring it up to GameMaster (GM) about that issue and had a talk with GM over that.  Found out that they aren’t doing any crap about that.  World of Warcraft is pretty fun and enjoyable but unforunately, it won’t be enjoyable at all if you are deaf in the raid party with hearing players on Ventrilo unless you have a full raid party of deaf players then it would be wonderful.  I don’t mind to start my own guild which have deaf players, children of Deaf adult (CODA), and any hearing people who understand about Deaf Culture and Deaf World but sadly, I decided not to playing WOW anymore for good even if there’s new expansion in future date because of WOW’s poor policy.  That means I am going back to playing video games such as PlayStation2, PlayStation3, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable to catch up with several games which I missed out in last several months.

Blizzard Tech/GM/Whoever you are, if you are reading this weblog, then I advise you to do something with Deaf players out there who continue playing WOW since your policy for WOW is pretty poor for the Deaf players.  I betcha that you will lose several players over that and even $14.99 a month for each player.  And once again, I decided not to go to BlizzCon 2009 either because you won’t have my hundred dollars for that crap!

Hillside Self-Heating Hot Cocoa

The Self-Heating Rich Cocoa

While I was shopping for food at some grocery store, this drink caught my attention and bring my curiosity feeling out. It show some strange interest to me because I never seen anything related to “self-heating” without any application to cooking at all. After reading its instruction about how to use, my imagination show me that I don’t have to worry about working so hard to made a hot cocoa with a kitchen pot, microwave, or any kitchen application at all. The good benefit is you can bring it anywhere especially on a long road trip. In case if you are curious about how it works, let me tell you how to use it. All you do is turn this drink upside-down (yes, I am not joking about that), take the cap off, strongly press the button from bottom down, and wait for 5 to 8 minutes or the pink dot on the drink will becomes into a white dot. The drink cup will feel hot inside (it won’t burn your hand only if you don’t tear the drink down. Otherwise, if you did, then you are an idiot. :-) ) and turn it back to normal from upside-down, shake it for 10 seconds and pop the lid (be careful that the hot cocoa may pop out just like the pop soda did from too much fizzle). And enjoy the self-heating cocoa. Even if it sound so weird.

Uncle for Fourth Time

The birth of Nolan Kendrick

Yup, you read the title correctly that I am an uncle for FOURTH TIME.  However, the word “uncle” is getting old to me but when it comes to the babies, I will never get tired of being an uncle. My youngest sister gave a birth of the baby boy at 2:41 pm. And the name of the baby boy is Nolan Kendrick Bryant. His weight is 8 pounds and 10 ounces and size is 21 inches. Whoa, he’s slightly bigger than my first nephew Easton. About his health, he’s very healthy and will possible become bigger than me and even my dad.  Unfortunately, I didn’t make it to the birth of my second nephew like the birth of my nieces and nephew which I did went there.  I feel regret about that but I will spend my time with Nolan as much as possible.  Hopefully, they won’t cry on me like other kids did to me.  (Skeptical)

Hit & Run

A funny thing happened to me this morning but little bits shocking.  Otherwise, I am fine and kinda of laughing in my mind.  Why?  Because my roommate woke me up this morning and told me that I have a police department business card from my car and someone hit and run on my car.  I was puzzled and asked him “how damaged it is.”  He told me that it’s pretty bad.  We walked out of our place and saw my neighbor stood there.  He told me that he heard a noise and saw a lady in a car doing “hit and run” on my car last night around 9 to 10 o’clock.  After that, while I was approached to the right side of my car parked on the side of the street and it appears fine to me until I walked around the other side.  It’s pretty bad but can be drivable (I thank God for that).  All I see is a broken rear mirror, back left blink shield got cracked, somewhat ajar trunk and a long scratch.  Even I saw a tire skid on the road near my car and went back to the apartment after I told my neighbor that I am going to report that to the police department.  After that, I had to wait for few minutes for a policeman show up and filled out the report paper and stuffs like that.   They already had a person took some pictures of my car as well as I took the pictures myself in case if I need to.  Also, the policeman found some piece of a car whose hit and run on my car and told me that it’s a possible green Honda car.   From what I have check the tire skid on the road, it look like someone drive from west to east and hit on my car.   For odd reasons, my roommate’s car got parked in front of my car didn’t get any “new” damages since it already have “old” damages in the past.

I pray for a policeman trying to do their best to catch a female suspect in a green automobile (a possible green Honda car).  Here what my car look like:

Catch Up With News

Okay, I have finally post the up-to-date news due to the hectic time lately in past few months. Let me see that what I did done since then. Oh yea…here it is:

1. Most of people don’t know that I already moved to another state on low profile without anyone know about that except for family and close friends because I got hired for a new job in another state. But now lots of people know that I moved here because of my friend’s big mouth. Oh well…
2. Like previous message, I currently lives with a new roommate which I knew of for few years.
3. I joined into the Texas Hold ‘Em Poker with my roommate and have been playing there for most of the nights except for Wednesdays and Fridays. And no, it’s not involved with money at all. That’s one of the main reasons why I becomes very hectic lately.
4. Two months ago, I turned 28 on December 27th in case if you don’t know that but I don’t feel like 28 at all. At least I had several people who wished me Happy Birthday but already growled at people for forget about my birthday. That’s okay and it happened to people.
5. When I had a 17-inch standard television for a decade and got tired of it but I feel like I need a new better television and decided to go bought a 32-inch high definition television from Samsung on New Years Sale. I feel like lots better because of a better quality on television.
6. Now I feel like not very happy with a current job because of unexpected overtime especially Saturday which I had a hard time to keep myself on balance schedule of night sleep. I decide to look for a new job but the main problem is I haven’t had a time for looking for a job and working on the new resume.
7. I have been became a co-host of Deaf Happy Hour in Dallas-Forth Worth with a host Ron Smith. Check it out on Deaf Happy Hour in Dallas-Fort Worth. It look like I may get little more busy from that.
8. Other few minor updates.

I will get right back with you readers for more update if I have a time for post a blog more often.
