Well, it's officially been more than a week since Christmas, and silly me I didn't even tell anyone about it on Vox. Man, I'm not living up to the Voxionary name this week. But granted it was the holidays, so I do have a bit of a good excuse right?
Well at any rate, the Snowball Family Christmas went off with a bang. It started with my birthday obviously and it didn't even stop. The biggest enjoyment I had was being able to spend Christmas Eve with my close friends and family. Our family had a "Christmas Eve Open House" Where we invited people over and they can come and go as they please. Normally our family tradition was to have Christmas Eve dinner, which always consisted of Meatball Subs. Trust me you have never really had a Christmas dinner without gorging yourself on Meatball Subs. We only really eat them one time as a family throughout the year and it is usually Christmas Eve. I don't know why that is, but trust me they are good, and great on the wallet too. We also usually after dinner would grab a whole bunch of snacks such as Chips, Cheese, Cabassa, Candy Cane Ice Cream, etc, and we would watch either "It's a Wonderfull Life" or "A Christmas Story(which happens to be my favorite Christmas movie, because I seriously look and feel like I'm Ralphie Parker)"
Now that is normally our family tradition, but for the past two years the Open House replaced that.
Which brings up a good story. Last year when we first tried this Open House concept, I had my friend Matt over and he really wanted to play Halo on my XBox in my room. Well for those of you who haven't been to my house, I literally live in the basement of the house. I have a Rec-Room(which is where the big Home Entertainment system is hehe) and I have a bathroom, and a laundry room. So I basically have a basement apartment except no kitchen, and no shower in the bathroom.
So anyway, the night wears on, and it starts to get late. The majority of the guests have left except for my brother's girlfriend and Matt. I go upstairs to the Living Room while Matt is still playing Halo. I'm sitting upstairs talking to my family for nor more than half an hour and all of a sudden the conversation stops for a second, and all you hear coming from the downstairs is this loud, "YESS!" My Dad then asks who that was, and I said it was Matt. My family laughed so hard because they forgot that Matt was still down there and didn't even realize it!!!
If that doesn't tickle your funny bone, well I guess you had to be there. It was funny okay!
Anyway, moving on with my Christmas recap....
So after everyone had gone, and all the guests were accounted for and left. We all went to bed and woke up around 9:30ish on Christmas morning. It was really weird for our family to be up at that time because we are up so early Christmas morning that it is usually still dark outside. This time, bright and sunny. "Wow, so that's what the sun is like in the morning," I thought.
So, after all the crinkling of wrapping paper and the obligatory, "How did you know's," "I love it's," and "You got what I wanted's," was said and done, Christmas was done. But now with the added bonus items we can now store in our rooms and play with for a long time.
My main gifts this year was:
- 30 GB Black Video iPod - Yes I finally replaced my now dead 3G iPod. Boo freakin ya! However, I can still use my old iPod as a 10GB Hard Drive. That is totally worth it.
-
Battlestar Galactica Season 2.0 (Upset that it is only half the season, but hey that's the Distributor's fault not my parents)
- A 12" Walking Robosapien
- A Superman Calender
- A Superman remote control Monster Truck
- Plus many more small little things that are too many to mention.
On a side note though, the gifts that my friends got me I definitely cannot go without mentioning.
- From Brian =
Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut - This has to be my now all time favourite movie. Plus one of the best gifts I have received this year
- From Shane -
Lewis Black's book called Nothing Sacred, and a book on how to be a Superhero(Which both Brian and I got because we are huge Superhero fans)
So all in all Christmas and a fun New Years Eve with my friends really put a good ending period to a great year. I will never forget 2006. That will be the year I will look back on and after telling my Life Story, I can conclude by saying "...and that's when it all started." I love those kinds of years.
Well, I hope you all had a good Christmas and a great New Years, and now let's move forward into 2007.
Toodles!

Hello everyone!
It's about time I post another video blog after like so many months. So what I decided to do is since it is Halloween, I would do a video blog about a recent Halloween party I went to. Anyway, sorry for the lack of witt that usually follows any kind of post I have, however it is late at night and I need me so freakin' sleep.
Anyway, here you go. You can watch the movie on the side, or download the movie here. Either way everyone wins. By the way I wasn't so happy with the way the editing was done. I tried to do it within a few hours to hit the Halloween day so I apologize if the editing isn't quite as good.
Anyway, enjoy!

P.S. Here are some photos from that night:
So I thought I would try video blogging on Vox to see how it will work. As of right now I haven't figured out if there is a way to put the video into an enclosure for an RSS Reader, but still a Video Blog is still a Video blog even without enclosures.
So anyway, this video was something I originally made for SteveSaylor.net, which I am more and more
convinced to just move over to Vox, because well it's Vox. LOL. This video was made back at the beginning
of June when Pixar's Cars first released. My friends Shane,
Joanne, Jaime, Margarie, and Kim went to see the movie at a drive-in theatre. Which I have to
say is the best way to see Cars, just because you’re in a Car watching
Cars. Hence, the title.
Anyway, I took like 39 minutes of footage of the night, that when trying to cut down to around 7 minutes, I had to cut a lot of footage out, so you won’t see Margarie, or Kim, but they are there, and they had a blast.
So without further ado, I present to you Vox bloggers, my first Vox video Blog.
