New Age, New Hope

What’s up everyone? I haven’t typed a blog in a while. Just recently last week on Saturday, I celecrated my twenty-first birthday. Now I am facing new hopes and other stuff that God had ahead for me. I am truly thankful for all the blessings that He brought upon me during the past years. I am not going to give up on life. I will continue to follow God and obey His laws. A few days ago, I went to the store. I told the store clerk that I am twenty-one. And he said that I am officially legal. What does the ages 18 and 21 have in common? Alright now, just because I am twenty-one doesn’t mean I should give up on video games. In fact, I bought a PlayStation 2 in February. "Puzzle Quest" is one of my favorite games on PlayStation 2. Days ago, I bought more games. I’m still on my ventures on collecting pennies and loose chage and I am still busy typing my book. Yes it will take longer than you expext, but not that long though. However, I still do think about the pastimes of what I been through after all these years. I think about the 90’s Pop Culture and my High School Times. Those are my missed memories. I began to ask this question in my head to myself, "Hey Vic, why do you cope with the past so much? Are you some kind of a pastime junkie or something?" And then I thought, "You can say that. It’s my anti-drug. It’s my motivation for my future." It’s just like when I look in my high school yearbook to reminisce. Speaking of pastimes, something that hit me across my mind. I was thinking about buying an old PlayStation game to play on my PlayStation 2 console. I was planning to by "Spyro the Dragon" from Amazon.com. I just used a gift card and used some of the money and bought the game online from Amazon.com. After I waited some days and guess what, right on my birthday, the video game was shipped to me in the mail. So I opened the mail and started playing the game. I haven’t played that game in a long time. I’m still moving on though. I was getting cheat codes and strategy guides to help get me through the whole thing. We know in video games, they only give you a few lives to live while playing your game and when you lose all, the game is over. I sought for strategy guides for 99 lives. A few days ago, I was playing to beat the whole game and all of the sudden, my brother accidentally unplugged the cord with his ankle. Boy, I was part angry at that time. So I started over. A couple of days ago, I stayed up all night to play the game to win it. until morning came. My sister was getting ready for school. I said to myself, "The only I can get through the whole thing is to win it. I am still on the loot for victory. If I beat "Spyro the Dragon", victory will be mine! "I was almost to the final level to confront Gnasty Gnorc, I paused the game to take care of some things. When I got back, guess what, I accidentally unplugged the cord. I was like, "Oh RATS! Now I have to start ALL OVER AGAIN!" When my friend came over, we played another game. When I finally got my time back at night, I start playing again to earn my victory. I stayed up all night to play it. And once again, I used cheat codes and strategy guides to get 99 lives. When I was playing "Spyro the Dragon", I went to complete each land. I went through the Artisan home, Peace Keepers World, Magic Crafter World, Beast Makers World, Dream Weavers World, and all of the lands in the dragon kingdom. I released the dragons, reclaimed and collected every last treasuse, and I recover those dragon eggs from those pesky blue thieves. Oh yeah, I had to toast those enemies to collect the treasuse too. Treasuse chests were there too. And there I was in Gnasty’s World. I had to toast every enemy, collect treasuse, and release some more dragons. After I done all that, there I am fighting the last boss which is Gnasty Gnorc. He runs like a chicken. After I defeated him, I had to pick up more treasuse and that’s it. I’m still looking forward to buy other games adn most important, worry about my future. I still miss my good friends I haven’t seen in a long time. I hope I get to see them as soon as possible (ASAP). Anyways, thanks for reading this blog. Good night.

Peace, Tranquility, and Serenity,
Your brother,
