I can’t go into specifics about anything but obviously, there are some things that need clarification. For the stupid.

Hello, my name is Tyme White….

I don’t date around, don’t have casual sex, don’t really publicly link to my offline friends on social sites, and I don’t cheat. I have high morals and I think honesty, loyalty, etc. are important. I am not obsessed with sex or having a man in my life.

I’m not the chick a guy will meet at the club and get sex from. I’m not the chick that expects to have her way paid for all the time. I’m not the chick that dates multiple guys. I’m not the chick that is clingy and wants to spend all her time with a guy.

However, if I do enter into a relationship, I will do my best to make the guy happy. Not getting overly serious too quickly, but I will appreciate he is in my life and try not to take him for granted. Hopefully we will learn, share things and grow together.

I’m not the chick that, if a guy comes to me about something, will say whatever words necessary to get him to shut up, and will betray him later on by lying and doing whatever I want to do. I don’t like hurting people I care about. It’s like hurting myself…I feel bad when I accidentally hurt someone.

Let me introduce myself again. My name is Tyme White…

If you thought I was dating someone, you were wrong. If you thought I was attracted to someone, you were wrong. If you came up with these ideas because of something said on Twitter, you’re seriously a dumb ass. If you thought these things, came to conclusions without asking me – fuck you and thanks for knowing me so well. If you came to an ever stupider conclusion (that I can’t say) and especially didn’t ask me – go to hell, fuck you, and karma’s a bitch.

If I were dating someone, I would focus on that one guy because um…that’s what I do. If the guy isn’t good enough to just date him why date him in the first place? And since when have my relationships EVER started out that way? They ALWAYS start out from a CLOSE FRIENDSHIP that developed OVER TIME because…

…wait for it…

I’m not the woman that has casual sex, dates around, etc.

Obviously I need to clarify some more…

If I ask a guy if he wants to hang out with me while I’m on a short trip…does that sound like we’re dating? I mean seriously, that would be a complete diss. To make the plans for the trip, completely exclude him, then – after I’ve been there a couple of days – invite him for a day or two. WTF? What it does sound like is a friend who was going through a tough time that could use a distraction for a day or two. That doesn’t mean he’d be sleeping in my bed. Why?

Aaah…you remember??????

That’s not how I roll.

When I am in a relationship, do I broadcast it, especially in the beginning? No…why….

Oh yeah, I don’t link to offline people on my social profiles and I’ve been there, done that. Especially in the beginning, I’d want it to be just about us. Not me, him and the world watching coming up with stupid ass conclusions I’d have to explain.

As much as I’ve been traveling what kind of relationship would that be? Where I purposely leave him out? Just pick up and go. Without a second thought to the guy. There are so many things here that are totally against my personality it’s laughable.

Except I am pissed off royally.

Do you know what it is like to have to explain everything?

You know I had to have a script written to periodically replace commenter information (email, IP) because I have stupid asses in my life that like to hack into shit? If I say a guy has a nice chest, nice legs, sexy name that somehow translates to some sort of higher level relationship. Yes, I can’t give compliments anymore without it getting twisted. Do you know what it is like to be worried your friends, who might not even be that close to you and heaven help them if they are, might say the “wrong” thing, drawing too much attention to them publicly because I have stupid asses in my life that don’t talk to ME about situations yet jump to stupid ass conclusions?

That’s sad. It’s not normal. It’s definitely not healthy.

Seriously, get it together…

In life you will encounter toxic people. The type of person that knows they have faults, don’t resolve them, but are quick to point out faults in others. Willing to tear someone else apart to escape their own miserable life…they are too weak to fix. People who will drive wedges in good friendships because of their own insecurities. There are all types of toxic people with different sets of “symptoms”. In the end, they do not bring “good” into your life.

I try very had to bring “good” into the lives of those that are close to me. I try very hard to be loyal, honest, and dependable. For the most part, when my friends need me they know I will be there. Not only do we have fun with one another but we have a strong foundation. When the foundation begins to crumble and the “good” turns into bad (I’m dependable, loyal and honest – they aren’t. Not that I’m perfect but when I see something not working (or something outsides the boundaries I feel comfortable with), if I can’t resolve it, I’ll boucne), there is only one thing that can happen: the friendship, relationship, etc. crumbles.

If you keep toxic people in your life you become toxic yourself. If you’re one of those that want to be successful in life, your ability to achieve that success is directly dependent on you’re ability to remove toxic or “bad” situations out of your path. There are many paths to success but few ways to maintain it…the ability to make the right decisions the majority of the time over a long period of time.

It has gotten to the point where I don’t say anything about what is going on in my personal life anymore to anyone (but my crew) because of this. Stupid shit. This is why my Facebook profile is empty, MySpace is unused, comments are usually closed on my site and in a minute Twitter will go dark too. It’s not worth it. This is foreign to me because, at one time, I talked about personal things and my words touched people in different ways (didn’t really have toxic people in my life then). I miss that and I’ve become disinterested in many things because the thought of the drama turns me off.

The good news is…

Through World of Warcraft I’m meeting some really cool people and if I can force myself not to be dismal and trust a little bit, I think I can make some really cool friends. Of course, to not drag them into this craziness, I need to get rid of the toxic elements in my life once in for all. I went through crazy bullshit when I was trying to recuperate and I honestly wasn’t strong enough to recuperate and fight stupid shit at the same time. Unfortunately, that meant a lot of pain…some of it I still haven’t gotten over.

But I’m 100% healthy now and I’m done putting up with bullshit.

I’m not going to be the doormat. Not anymore.

And I’m tired of fixing shit that shouldn’t be broken in the first place.

To be triple clear….

This isn’t towards a guy I like that had things wrong (seriously, no guy on my mind at all – none). This is about people thinking weird shit that goes against my everything I believe in. That’s why I never wanted to be a celebrity – they go through this all the time. I’m focused on other things right now. A relationship isn’t a priority for me.

Basically…I want my life back. And I’m grabbing it.

I was doing so good not cursing too…and I know this isn’t going to make sense to many of you but I thought writing this rant would help me cool off. It didn’t.

It is hard to believe but most people you encounter are not meant to stay in your life. Unfortunately, determining who those people are can be tough. You know what I mean, right? You meet someone, the two of you seem to hit it off. Initially, it seems like you have everything (ok, enough) in common. You want to talk to the person all the time, the sex might be spectacular, you are happy when you are around this person…all is great right? Next thing you know instead of the passionate sex you once had the two of you lie in bed with a football field between you. What happened?

It was an illusion.

Filling the void…

Most people, whether they want to admit it or not, want someone special in their lives. One person to depend on, share things with, can let their guard down in front of…it’s a wonderful feeling having that type of person in your life. Someone that loves you for you including the good, the bad and everything in between.

It is also scary to be vulnerable to someone else. To achieve the nirvana above one has to open themselves up, take the armor off…wear their heart on their sleeve (for lack of another expression). In that vulnerable state, like a turtle without its shell, when the person you opened yourself up to hurts you, it is extremely painful. The problem: people tend to skip to that level much too soon, almost guaranteeing pain and failure in the relationship. Why? Because you’ve opened yourself up to someone you don’t really know to fill the void of that missing person in your life (or worse, using a person as an escape from your life not going the way you would like).

What’s the rush?

I’m not saying the relationship should proceed at a snail’s pace but honestly, you can’t love someone you don’t know. When love is real, there is no rush. Things naturally progress. Of course, there will be problems, but the two of you will jointly work through them. There will be pain but when the person you love knows of your pain, he or she will do everything in their power to fix it. That is how you know it is real and that is how relationships last long-term. Both people make each other the priority. When couples don’t make each other the priority, the foundation of the relationship collapses.

Great sex and laughs can’t fix that.

The One is….

• The one you will get rid of all your friends with benefits, flirts, crushes, etc. for. Right NOW, this moment.
• The one you can be intimate with, without having sex.
• The one you’re willing to put a ring on their finger – right now.
• The one you would give your last money to – right now.
• The one is the person you put before yourself.
• The one that will not purposely hurt, disrespect or break your trust.
• The one you will not lie to, cheat on, disrespect and put others before.
• The one you are willing to sacrifice for.
• The one that will always be there for you (because you aren’t taking advantage of their affections).
• Most important – The One is the person you love as is right now. No changes necessary.

Obviously there is more to love than this, but the traits above are minimum necessary traits for The One to have. No matter how nice, sweet, sexy, etc. a person is, if he or she has traits that are not compatible with you, instead of hurting the person by cheating, lying, breaking their trust, etc., do the right thing.

Let them go.

Yes, I have a very sexy Paladin wearing tangas and thigh highs. When I approach my enemies, you know to kill them, they aren’t shaking with fear. They are drooling over my uber sexy toon, perfectly willing to die by the hand of Ms. Sexy.

They didn’t create this gear for women. They did it for men. So men would stay glued to their computers playing their sexy Blood Elves. The horrible thing: I like it. /hangs head

I love my sexy toons. I wish I could make a Shaman a Blood Elf. I wish my Druid was a Blood Elf. I wish I could change my Undead to a Blood Elf. If I could give my toons a slightly darker skin tone I would be in gaming heaven. Interesting that the male Blood Elf is anything but sexy. He’s feminine with hair styles that would look better on women.

Unfortunately in real life, most women don’t come close to being this visually appealing. A large percentage of women are very insecure about their looks, being judged by males that don’t come close to looking as good as the expectation they have for females. From what I am told by males, a good portion of the “pretty ones” have messed up personalities. Just like there is more to my toon than looks (is she an efficient killing machine?) there is more to a person than their looks. Sometimes we forget that.

You didn’t laugh or smirk reading that, did you? Tsk, tsk….

What caught me at first was the brightness of her room. It’s pink on steroids. I, personally, couldn’t stand looking at that every day but I also realized how that color would not do well where I live. In the summer it would be fine but during fall and winter it wouldn’t look bright. It would have a dingy look to it (if one opened their windows). Artificial light would be needed to ensure the walls did not look dingy.

The second thing that fascinated me is that she seems genuinely happy…like she is a sweet girl. Then somewhere along the way I realized what “really” fascinated me.

She doesn’t have a website.

Note how many followers she has on YouTube. Can you imagine the interactions she could have if she had her own site? She has a contact email for business related emails so it isn’t as though she hasn’t thought of business opportunities. I wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t receive tons of makeup samples. She’s probably interacting with people of all ages. Males will love her because she’s a cutie and women of all ages wear makeup. She even has a healthy following on Twitter.

But what really impresses me is that she handles herself with more maturity than many adults I know. She’s still having fun but she’s taking care of business. Getting good grades in school. Keeping her room clean. Handling her responsibilities. Making a VERY nice name for herself online…her parents should be proud.

Kudos to Blair. I hope she’ll be an inspiration to some to get off your butt and do something fun! Your passion to do something fun will show and, as you can see in Blair’s case, many times can turn into business opportunities.

Except that there were grumblings that the leaked copy had some sort of copy protection on it. If you purchase the download copy of the Sims 3, it DOES have Securom. The discs have “something” but until recently, it was unknown what it was. Dave B. from EA clears the air on what copy protection is on the game discs:

Hi

Thanks for your patience.

Until today I was unable to release the following, as the game had not yet been released. The game will still contain a program designed by Securom, however it will not be an installed DRM as it was in games like Spore and Red Alert 3. The game will perform a disc check every time you launch, so you will be required to insert your game disc before you can launch the game. This, of course, means no file will be installed on your computer.

Again I apologize I was unable to be more clear until now, however as the game had not released this information was not publicly available until now.

Regards

Why they didn’t tell their community this upfront is beyond me. I’m all for protecting digital rights but be honest, especially when there is discord with users due to previous privacy invasion. Let’s be clear here: EA needs Sims 3 to do well. The Sims franchise is their cash cow. EA had a $641 million dollar loss last year. They have the delicate balance of protecting their digital rights and keeping their users happy. If their users are displeased with the deception, it could hinder the growth of Sims 3. Players can happily go back to playing Sims 2…which many prefer anyway. Sims 3 still has to evolve to be as content rich as Sims 2 plus expansion packs.

Shame honesty didn’t enter the picture.

That said, I have a copy of the game and next up will be some tips and tricks to help you play the game.

Mean What You Say. Say What You Mean

If you spend any time with children, you know they have to be taught what they can and cannot do. They have to be taught the difference between right and wrong. However, children do many things that aren’t “wrong”…the parent or guardian simply does not want the child to do it. For example, when a toddler figures out the remote control changes the TV channels most parents will tell the toddler not to touch the remote to ensure the toddler does not break it, but using the remote control is not “wrong”. See my point?

However, when the parent or guardian says, “Don’t touch the remote” the child should not touch the remote. He or she is going to and that is the learning process. The child has to respect the boundaries the parent puts in place until he/she moves out on their own.

The same thing happens in friendships, romantic relationships, and even online interactions except as adults we know the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, what will make someone happy or devastate them. There are boundaries we make clear not to cross or there is a price. That price can be very high. However, just like the child will push the boundaries so will people…if you allow them to. If you say “Don’t do something” there has to be a price if the person continues to do it, otherwise you will end up a doormat.

And that’s where my problems began. I became the doormat.

Yeah, I Said Earlier You Do It Too…

Here is a relationship example (and I know how much you guys love relationship stuff). I normally don’t read AskMen.com but I knew I’d find an example of what I’m talking about. This guy (Shawn) has a girlfriend of four years (he calls the relationship “great”). He’s interested in a co-worker who has a long-term boyfriend. He thinks he’s falling in love with the co-worker. Doc Love gives this advice:

What should you do about this whole thing? First of all, stop flirting with Shakira. Then go home and make a list of all the great things you have with Venus and start thinking about the idea of LOYALTY. If you can’t be loyal, guy, then get rid of your girl. You should be getting rid of your girl because you don’t like her anymore or you’re completely bored with her, not because you found somebody who appears to be better. And you can’t even compare them because your girlfriend has four years in with you and this new girl only has a couple of hours in. Duh.

Remember, guys: Loyalty is numero uno.

That’s the root problem: honesty and loyalty. Most relationships tank because of the loss of those two things. If a person is dishonest or not loyal, trying to forgive and patch up the situation isn’t the solution. It does aide the person to continue being dishonest and disloyal. What Venus doesn’t know is that she should be telling Shawn to go to Shakira when he has a problem, when he needs support, when he needs to talk, etc. At the time of that writing she didn’t know one of the people she trusted and loved the most was stabbing her in the back and consciously screwing her over, creating a painful situation no one should have to endure. One of the main reasons most relationships (of any type) fail: someone is being disloyal and dishonest. Look at the definitions of disloyal and dishonest:

disloyal –adjective
false to one’s obligations or allegiances; not loyal; faithless; treacherous.

dishonest –adjective
1. not honest; disposed to lie, cheat, or steal; not worthy of trust or belief: a dishonest person.
2. proceeding from or exhibiting lack of honesty; fraudulent: a dishonest advertisement.

Why would anyone want a person like that in their life? Most people would advise Venus to dump Shawn because he knows he is being disloyal and dishonest (he calls it being weak). Shawn will not turn strong, honorable, honest and loyal over night and he won’t whip into the complete opposite of who he is for another person either. He has to be that other person PRIOR to the relationship for it to work. The bottom line: When you have someone in your life that you care about and respect, the default action is to avoid hurting the person, not do the things you know will hurt/annoy/irritate/anger/etc. the person. When I mention an example like Shawn and Venus it is very clear Venus should dump Shawn. What about things like:

• Ever had the roommate you told not to touch your clothes and he/she did it anyway?
• Ever had the co-worker who eats your food when you told them not to?
• Ever had the boyfriend/girlfriend where you asked to call if he/she is going to be late and he/she never does yet will call their friends to tell them they are running late?
• Your girl/boyfriend promises to not cheat again yet…she/he does it again?
• Your friend says she/he will be honest with you but tells lies to manipulate you?
• Ever thought you resolved an issue with someone, was even proud of the compromise/sacrifice you made, only to find out the person betrayed you again?

See what I mean? The signs are always there. When a person continues to mistreat you (put their feelings over yours) there is only one option: leave them alone…not pray he or she will change. Trust cannot exist without loyalty and honesty. No type of relationship can exist without trust.

But let’s keep it real: If you allow someone to lie to you, be disloyal to you, hurt you, and mistreat you…there is something wrong with you. I refuse to be that person.

How Do You Stop The Bad Behavior?

For the longest time I would question things trying to make sense of why people did the things they did? What I didn’t want to admit: I misread some people in my life and I hoped they would change. I hoped they respected the things I’d done, the loyalty, trust and honesty I built on my side not to throw it away. I completely wasted my time because I was dealing with disloyal, dishonest and untrustworthy people.

And I accept it. If you have disloyal, dishonest and untrustworthy people in your life, you should accept it too.

People become friends (or greater) because you can trust them. Are couples happy when they can’t put their guard down because they can’t trust their spouse? No. Do you like going to work and your boss watches your every move because he/she doesn’t trust you? No.

Trying to make people fit into roles in which they don’t belong (and in my case they were trying to live up to roles they weren’t ready or possibly meant to have) just makes everyone involved miserable. Now that I see these types of situations like the playground fights we all have as kids, you either let someone walk all over you and become a doormat or you stand up for yourself, no matter how much it hurts.

I have no more questions. I no longer seek answers. I realized my mistake the other day and this weekend, I owned it (took responsibility for it). For those in the past that got away with it, I hope they enjoyed it.

If I can do it, you can do it. Stop being a doormat.

To Wolfe: Thank you.

Completed; finished; through: Our work is done.

That’s my definition. I was surprised how many people use the word “done” when they want to be done with something or someone but really aren’t.

A friend of mine was working on a project and he told me he was done with it; yet he was still working on it. Mentally, he had one definition of “done”. He was “detached” but he wasn’t “done” until he stopped working on it and the project was finished. That’s done.

I am told all the time by guys they are “done” with their ex-girlfriends. Yet, the women still have active roles in their lives. The guys are the ones initiating contact. They aren’t “done”. On the flip side, I’m honest. When I say I’m done with my exes I’m done. I have zero residual feelings, I’m cool with them all, I rarely initiate contact and if I do, you can be damn sure there isn’t any lovey dovey talk going on. Rog and I are friends, our relationship is done but our friendship is not. I don’t pine after him, I can go weeks or months without talking to him…no sweat. If him and his family are okay, I’m cool with that. If I get in a relationship my new guy and Rog would probably interact in some form or another.

Want to piss me off royally? A guy saying or implying he’s “done” with a woman and I find out he’s not. Oh man, that’s when I become “done” with him. He’s either lying or insulting my intelligence – two things I can’t stand. And because I detest it, I get it…a lot. It’s Murphy’s Law.

I realized this weekend that people and their inability to be “done” with situations is what messes them up. Takes them away from their goals. How can a person find love if their attention is focused on someone they know won’t work out?

How can the person who claims to want success and is “done” making bad choices have success if he/she is surrounded my non-ambitious, mentally inferior (but so much fun!) people who have different goals and lack will-power to do better for themselves?

How can the overweight person claim they are “done” being overweight when they make the conscious choice, everyday, to take in more calories than they burn off?

How can the person who claims it is time to straighten out their life (”done” with their life not being the way they want) do that if, every week, he/she is getting drunk with the same people, in the same place, doing the same things…not improving anything?

To a degree, we all say we’re done when we aren’t. I said many times I was “done” doing something and was going to make a change when, in truth, I knew I wasn’t “done”. I wanted to be “done” but I wasn’t “done”. That only led to false promises and false hopes. Thankfully it wasn’t in areas that involved other people.

I mentioned that when Sims 3 is released I’ll end up looking some things in the face. Things I pushed aside and didn’t want to deal with. This happens every Sims release. I tend to play RPGs like I live my life (twisted, I know) and especially with The Sims 3 being a life role-playing game…it just opens the door for all kinds of truth to come out. Eventually I’ll make a house with random people in it but I always start out as my life is currently and it evolves into what I want my life to become at that time (considering the limits of the game).

I already know I’ll find the answer to why nothing appeals to me real estate wise. I already know the answer…I simply can’t believe it to wrap my brain around it (no, it’s not that I don’t want to move). Once I face it, I can’t say I’m “done” with one mode of thinking when I’m really not.

This week I’ll be looking at the things and people I said I’m “done” with to see if I’m really “done”. If not…it’s time to make it happen.

Be careful when you say you’re “done”. Don’t lie to others or worse, lie to yourself.

I play the game like the life I live
I like to help, I like to give
My toons, they have what they need, they thrive
They have what it takes to survive

I’m used to doing things alone
I knock out goals with stones
It is messed up that I’m grown
And letting people in, to me, is unknown

I’m going to be fair
I tried to share my thoughts/dreams with flair
Unfortunately, I shared it with those that were scared
Alone, I learned how to be prepared

Put a goal in the game where I have to work with a team
How else could that feel but foreign to me?
It made me mad, I wanted to scream
I don’t need anyone to accomplish my dreams

I don’t mind working hard
And I’m always on guard
I didn’t realize in that regard
How much I’d been scarred

Let’s face it, it’s not my thing…trust
When I tried, things went bust
Pissed me off, left me feeling disgust
Instead, I’ll do it alone, eat my dust

It’s not healthy to go through life single
I have to learn how to let people in and mingle
Take small steps, when I’m scared sing a jingle
The first time I do it, I bet I’ll feel a tingle

I have a new task, a new goal
One that scares me to my soul
It’s time to get back what was stole
And learn how to live in my new role

Let me be clear: I’m not about to start running a bunch of raids because honestly, grouping with strangers to maybe get gear I want isn’t my thing. However, I do enjoy grouping with friends to accomplish a goal and since I’m in a huge guild, I will put an effort to making new friends, PvP more and run instances when I feel like it.

My point in this rhyme is that I play WoW like I live my life and I need to let more people into my life.

Weird yet so perfect.

Happily Ever After? Not For Them…

The first couple had problems, personality conflict problems. The girl was very insecure, very clingy and has this tenancy of blowing up when she doesn’t get her way. The groom was told once they got married it would stop – she was just insecure about their relationship and being married would resolve that. I suppose standing there, in front of everyone, looking into her eyes he realized he was signing on to a life of her emotional tantrums. He couldn’t say his vows. She was too emotional, he was too laid back. He was the source of the emotions and that would never change as long as she was with him.

Very few people weren’t relieved as we watched him freeze and apologize. There were actually sighs of relief because we all knew it was a train wreck but you can’t stop someone from making their own mistakes, right? They are both “good” people, just not meant for each other.

Grab the Brass Ring…

As we all sat there wondering if a wedding was going to take place a friend of mine, sitting next to me, said he wanted to talk to me privately. We went outside and he explained his plight. Looking at the fiasco that just happened he realized the woman he’s semi-privately loved for years is the one he should be with. The problem was their families. Their families are very old school and would not approve of their union. That didn’t make his love go away. He asked me if I thought he was crazy? I said no – relocate and be happy.

It is really that simple.

Sure, their moms will cry, their fathers will get pissed off. If it doesn’t blow over, and the two have such different views than their family, it is conflict to keep them in their lives anyway. There is a difference between cordial and close.

My friend finds the girl (she’s at the wedding), I suppose told her his feelings, she agreed because shortly after, he sent me a text message saying they were going to the courthouse. Normally, I would advise against getting married on a whim but this couple truly are perfect for each other. Their friendship blossomed into a love with one of the strongest foundations I’ve seen in a long time. I told him if they got married, and it wasn’t too inconvenient, I’d like to be there. He said that would work out good…since they might need a witness.

Instead of getting married at the courthouse they got married the next day a very quick ceremony, in the same church, same pastor without the gown, the elegant wedding, and large reception. They said their vows in front of their friends, who supported their union. They want to have a more formal wedding later, in their new location, with their old and new friends…and hopefully family.

The other couple? The groom realized he dodged one hell of a bullet and talking to the ex-bride later, she agreed (unwillingly). She wasn’t really happy in the relationship because she was insecure and frustrated. Being together would not have resolved the problem, it would have made it worse. What she really wanted for was him to change but if he changed, he wouldn’t be “him”, would he? His laid back nature makes him excellent at what he does for a living – he doesn’t crumble under pressure and eventually everything that needs to get done gets done…”right”. He is just excellent at bringing things together, with quality and class, at the very last minute.

What Did I Learn?

I learned a lot. I heard just about every love song known to man this weekend celebrating, learning and exploring the many faucets of love. Talking to a ridiculously smart, witty and cute guy this weekend about the turn of events (and life in general) I was able to finally put some pieces together that have been irking me for the longest time. Thankfully I was able to have the same impact on him. Talking to strangers can do that.

We sat on the pier and life made sense. You know that odd clarity one receives every once in a while. I understood my WoW issues, I understood why I can’t decide where to move, I understood relationship issues and the freaky thing…I know when Sims 3 drops June 2nd all the little questions I had will be answered. The irony the game was pushed back to June 2nd, giving me a couple of days to play (and put the final puzzle pieces together) just in time to celebrate…then begin to make things happen.

Why Sims 3? Because I’ll pattern the game after my life…it’s what I do with RPGs. I’ll start it off the way my life is now, and I’ll tweak the things I don’t like and make them the way I want. It will be as easy (and possibly shocking) as doing it and sitting back looking at the final result.

Not like I haven’t done this before and haven’t been stunned by what I discovered. Every Sims release results in a life change – and success.

It’s all about gaming tournaments. Counter Strike 1.6, Virtua Fighter and Guitar Hero: World Tour. Rob (Prodigy) is going to attempt to receive a Guinness World Record with Rock Band 2.

And Mark will be presented with his $100,000 WCG Ultimate Gamer check for being the winner in the series.

Sunday May 17th:

More tournaments: Gears of War 2, Warcraft 3, Starcraft: Broodwar and FIFA 09.

Sorry for the short notice but if you are going to be in the area check it out. If you are a gamer and you enjoy/play any of the above games – definitely check it out if you can.

Thanks Swoozie for your help!
