The Georealm

Here’s a little info about this place.
No website (but I offered to build them one lol)
1104 W Parker Suite 600
Plano Tx 75075
Tel: 972-312-1841
They have been around for 6 months. This is the only one around from what she told me.

Alright and about my experience lets start with the food. I ordered the burrito meal and my wife ordered her usual Mexican plate, the enchiladas. I tried both of them and neither of them had what I would consider “flavor”. They were both very plain. I think the enchiladas at Taco Bueno have better flavor.

Next lets talk about the service. The gentleman that was taking care of us was very nice, and he kept us happy. I didn’t run into an empty cup, and the food was out very quickly.

Finally the price. The food was pretty expensive. We got out of there the two of us about 20% more than I would expect at that “quality” of restaurant.

More or less this isn’t somewhere I will be returning to. It took us a while to break away and finally go after seeing it up, but I am unimpressed. When we were there, there was a man sleeping in a booth across the restaurant from us. It was quite funny. I give the overall experience a 2 out of 5. Go if you want, but I have better recommendations (hopefully my honesty doesn’t cost me the website deal, but I don’t think she liked what I was gonna charge for it anyway…).

I think the cop deserved it for laughing at how drunk this guy was!

Just hit play.

Here’s a link to play on your PC.
Drunk Guy

I just recently finished the the XBox 360 version of Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom. It was pretty good, but honestly not nearly as good as the XBox version was. The XBox Kingdom Under Fire and Lineage were very similar in this “realm” of video games. I would call this “realm” massive hack & slash. This new one is still a massive hack and slash but here are some big differences.

First off the maps and “flow” of the game are much different. In the old one you would do quests, where you would go to very large maps and run around it until you finish what you needed to do. On the new one you simply run from area to area in different “regions” to get to the end of the game. The quests and skills actually lead you back and forth between regions needlessly, but as a game it wasn’t horrible.

Next the characters and controls. Same characters of course, as with every KUF lol. I did just 1 this time as I am so far behind on my games I cannot play the same maps OVER and OVER much like Diablo 2 just using different characters. The controls are much different than the XBox as well. In the old one you would be able to do series attacks and special moves by collecting some points from dead folk, but now you run off SP. The SP controls everything, so the more you have the more you can do attack wise, but no impressive special moves or combos. In a hack and slash that is a bad thing… I beat the game fully unimpressed.

Finally the skills. I dont recall any skills in the XBox version, but this one allows you to learn skills as you go. You pick your skill then you have to go kill specific things to get it. Then you can use it. Also extremely unimpressive. I used dash so I could get through the maps faster, and heal cause you had a limit to the number of pots you could carry. The attack skills sucked and used so much SP you could use em for about .25 second. Not very handy.

As I said it was worth playing, and it has a nice co-op feature for 360 to 360 play (no hotseat sorry). I got it clearance at Target for about $19 if I remember correctly. I give it a 2 out of 5.

If you got a few minutes and some head phones then listen to this. Its funny as hell to. Another file sent directly to me, so no props to be given…

Friend of mine at work sent me this. Sorry no refference point except from him so no clue where this came from, but its AWESOME!

Or here is a text link that you can watch it on your PC: python

After owning a few pythons myself I think anything this size would straight up gracefully allow me to shit myself.

So as you may or may not know I play poker as often as I can. Home games, Okalhoma casinos, and most frequently online (pokerstars.com). Home games I’m up, Casino I’m down, and online I started with 0.00 and I’m up over a hundred, so its free fun.

I wanted to write a blurb about the difference in good playing, bad playing, and when luck is actually involved.

Good playing and bad playing are actually better covered by a good friend of mine over at the bonesnap.com blog so check it out there.

Now I do want to talk about luck being involved here. I will say that poker (Texas Hold’em) is about 30% luck. No doubt about it, but all these folks swearing up and down its all luck, but luck doens’t make the guy in front of you fold his better hand.

Luck gets involved when you have your opponent crushed and he gets his 1 of 3 outs on the river. And that does happen, but not very much.

With that said smart playing can land you some big bucks. I can tell the difference in my nights, when I play smart I make a bit of money. When I play not so smart some times I bank big, but more often than not I leave empty handed. It’s all a matter of preference and how you feel bout the game. Me personally… nothing better than maximizing your winnings when you get dealt the nuts…

You guys take care, and if you want to discuss poker by all means we can do so here or better recommended over at bonesnap.com as Ironspike there is pretty damn good at it.

Peace….

I would be the bastard to put the video right here so you don’t have to go to their site, but trust me you guys. You need to know this site, because about 80% of the time the shit they put up each day is very much worth watching. I have put a current list of really good ones here for your linking pleasure, but check them out. The home site ishttp://www.todaysbigthing.com. Enjoy!

Warning… This is a long one….
I have to start this by saying that I love this place. It has great food, and the first time I went I got great service, so please do not let this story deter you from going there. Also I want to mention that I have contacted the owner about the happenings of this story, so hopefully by time you get there the major problems are already resolved. I highly recommend this place so please take this as a story.
So I go in to get me some yummy ass pizza and some Chicago style hot dogs (even though I am not convinced it’s the same Vienna I had in Chicago). We get there shortly before 7. Let’s just say 6:55pm to give a time line. We sit down and within a few minutes have the waitress at our table taking the order.
We order a few waters and since we do not know exactly what we are getting on the pizza (or size for that matter) she goes to get our water. A few minutes later she comes over sits our water down and starts to take the order. Now when she set the water down I must admit I did hear something, but due to the nail salon fumes from next door my brain didn’t put 2 and 2 together properly. I tell her the order (the Couple of Chicago dogs, and a 12″ pepperoni and sausage pizza), and I reach over to pick up my water for a drink and the bottom ring of this quart mason jar stays on the table. The whole glass of freezing water pours all over the table and my lap. Someone decided to take the glass out of the hot ass washer and pour freezing water into it. It was a nice trick to get it to wait to crack AFTER she put it down. (I would have had to laugh my ass off if it blew up in her hand) That’s the first step. At this point I am still calm cool and collect, just getting very hungry (I don’t do well with a low blood sugar).
The next thing is she gets it cleaned up and brings me a new glass that just so happens to have a huge crack down the side of it. Finally I bestow my knowledge of “quit putting freezing water in hot ass cups” to her and she goes back and spreads the word. I get my 3rd glass of water, 100% crack free. (She checked she said)
Time rolls by and waiting for pizza is not a short wait, but we are still cool. A guy walks in and it’s pretty clear he has no intention of buying a pizza. He walks over to the enclosed area at the bathrooms to meet with the waitress. I’m not going to make risky accusations here, but if you saw this situation (and the ones further in this post) then you could probably put 2 and 2 together for that… Another guy walks in to meet up, they take care of business and the 2 gents leave…
Times still going and I run out of water (my biggest pet peeve at a restaurant). Waitress disappears for 15 minutes. When she returns is about 7:30pm and she has the pizza only. I’m cool w/ that it’s hot, she’s holding plates, and no hands for my dogs. She takes note of my water, and leaves. Takes the order of another table and goes to the back. Gone for another 10 minutes. Comes back and I’m like.. My hotdogs? She passes on an apology and goes to put in the order. This is where my anger starts to rise. It just grows at a constant rate until I finally get my dogs.
While waiting I ask for water, and ranch so I can partake in Pizza (despite my desire to eat the dogs first to enjoy the Chicagoy goodness). About this time another gent and his lady walk in and at least this time the guy goes to buy a soda while the lady hits the “private” area by the bathrooms. The waitress just so happens to be in the area so, use your imagination. The couple leaves and another guy walks in and takes a seat over in the corner with solid recognition to the waitress. He sits there for a while.
After about 5 more minutes I get my water and ranch and gorge down a slice of the yummy pizza. At 7:47pm I finally get my dogs and partake in the deliciousness. At this point the guy who walked in and sat down goes over to the private area and actually stands at the door to the kitchen. After a brief “run-in” with the waitress they go their separate ways with hands in pockets and get back to their respective duties. By this time I am furious and I laugh and make fun of the whole situation with my wife with dire sarcasm.
At 8:00 we request a box for the last 2 slices of pizza. She brings me the check about 5 minutes later, and about 5 minutes AFTER THAT my pissed off wife goes to get the box so we can leave. 8:10 we depart.
Some side notes… After all this fiasco the waitress did take $2 cash out of her pocket (I guess) and put it towards our bill. The best thing she could have done I guess, as I would not have accepted a meal on the house. I like this place and would expect to pay. Take what you will from the story, but again the food is absolutely delish and I still recommend them. It was the high level of disruptions that made me want to write this, as it makes a good story, but I am in no way trying to bring bad press to them.
I hope you enjoy, and maybe I will see you there.

On second though.. No no I don’t… I think he’s a prick :-D.  I hate McCain too though so I guess its no vote or Independent for me this year… Can’t possibly vote for someone that will change our world media name to Obamanation, that’s a pun on abomination for any of you slower geniuses out there. Please review Here: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=abomination

So yea… really bad election choices this year, but I could vote for Palin if she’d just shut her mouth… jeeze… So out of curiosity for any of you other conspiracy thinkers… It dawn on anyone that we are being FORCED to vote a minority into office here?  Odd huh… So much for choice LOL.  I’m not against a minority in office, but damn they could have made the “guided hand” move a bit more subtle LOL.  Piece…

This will be an interesting post…

So a little background, I started smoking when I was about 14.  A cig here and there and even a few cigars down at the local park.  As I grew older I became more and more avid about it.  Now I don’t expect any of you to believe me but I don’t really care either.  As you read this you might understand this next statement a little better.  I do not HAVE to smoke.  I have never been addicted, I simply CHOOSE to because I enjoy it.  Now at the time of writing this I have quit twice before, and I have not smoked for 2 weeks now.  The 2 times before was once for my now wife (friend at the time), and I quit to spend my breaks at work with her instead of outside.  The 2nd time I quit for her again, and made about 9 month.  I was quitting for the wrong reasons.  This time I know it’s for her again, but I am trying to do a life change as opposed to “what she wants”.  I truly enjoy smoking but I can quit cold turkey at any time.  As a matter of fact, while smoking I would do so at work only from 7-4 M-F, so no smoking on nights or wkends (YAY Free Cell Phone Hours).

Now here is my situation.  I have experience in both realms, and I hear both realms bitching about the other all the time.  Let me lay out what I think.

Smoking Pros:

Enjoyable, relaxing, ownership, time consuming, excuse

Smoking Cons:

Smells, Possibly dangerous to your health, feedback

Not Smoking Pros:

Opposite of Smoking Cons and Smoking Pros

Not Smoking Cons:

Now when you step outside to take a break and all the smokers come out, you get screwed because you no longer have to be outside, so you can go back in to cover the shift… YIPPY.

End Result:  Both sides can STFU and just deal with it… Non Smokers have no right to tell smokers what to do and if they don’t like smoke then they can get the hell away from it… Simple as that :-D. The government has now stepped in and taken the right to smoke in most cases already, so smokers don’t need your personal lip in their face or they might get the urge to have to boot your chest.  Government took the side of non smokers so live it up… Simple as that :-D.

I am now facing the Non Smoking cons, and I smell fine, I get no feedback as a matter of fact a lot of people think they need to congratulate me in my decision… I don’t know why. It’s my choice, and if you’re too weak minded to make the same choice, then you need to be congratulated for being a lesser being..  I am not knocking smokers I still love smoking, I am not supporting non smokers, because most of them are assholes, but I am laying out what I think… Enjoy.
