I don't know about you, but every year, I have to come up with a Christmas gift list. The last several years have been a struggle. I don't really need the latest gizmo, cell phone, or whatever, so my family get's impatient if they draw my name for Christmas, because I don't get my list together until late.

One of the things I asked for this year, just to fill out the list, was the new video game, Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2. It has some great trailers, and great graphics, but I rented it from Blockbuster yesterday, and it is not as fun as you would think. I am not particularly stupid, in general, but I can't get past the second mission.

If these games are supposed to be fun, the people who make them should work on that part, because if you were to have walked past my house yesterday as I was trying to jump my cool virtual snowmobile over the realistic virtual gorge, so I could take out the well entrenched virtual terrorists on the other side, you would have been wondering what all the cussing coming from my living room was about. It isn't fun, but kind of addicting, maybe that's the way they want it?

Just saying, off topic, Happy Holidays all!
