Yes Wii CAN! (ok that was kinda lame...)

Ok my next addiction...SMH, I cannot even keep u all guessing. The title of this blog gave it away. Sooooo, yes. I was given a Wii (the last one available in Montreal that weekend) as a late Xmas gift. See, I never thought I'd become addicted to a video game...Don't get me wrong. I was born in the 80's and my parents got us everything from Atari, Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Sega CD, Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo, Game Boy, and Playstation...So yeah I played with those as a youngin and had a lot of fun doing so...Fast forward to now. I heard about the Wii so many times on the news and its benefits, and my curious nature got the best of me. I did my own research and decided I wanted to get one. Then I heard about it even more, so I decided I needed one badly... For months I have been tracking it on various websites in order to get one, and for months they have been sold out. Every store but Ebay Stores ran out...and the prices on Ebay were damn near hilarious...Ranging from 600-800 bucks...Yeah, that's a car payment and 3/4 of a mortgage payment...No thanks. So I finally got my Wii...didn't get to play with it until the next day cause I had to work late...but when I finally hooked it up...My oh my. There were no words to describe how happy and excited I was...I was having too much fun! Way too much. I tried the Wii Sports and played around for 30 mins and I was amazed at how much fun I was having. Suddenly I didn't feel as bad about skipping the gym all week long. I worked out (played) in the comfort of my home and I felt so good. The boxing is my favorite. After every K.O, I raise my hands in the air and do a lil "victory" dance...And my Mii (my Wii avatar) mimics my moves...She's baaaaaad! Bad as in good! Just like me...She just be killing 'em on the ring! The other day I (well SHE) K.O'd 5 dudes in a row...so I was like "Somebody, anybody, please gimme some ears to chew off cause I'm feeling so Mike Tyson'ish right now!!!" I am also loving the tennis game...I get my Serena Williams on and it's a wrap! No one on the tennis court got presidence like me ( presidence = new term replacing "SWAGGER" in 09 )... I am a BEAST on the court! No for real...I kill em. Bowling is fun too...I suck so hard @ baseball and golf...but what is funny is that I used to play softball and took golfing classes a few years ago. Go figure :-/ The golfing game is soooo funny cause there is an audience "Ooooh'ing and Awwww'ing" outta nowhere. I get a lot of "Awww" cause I clearly need to step my game up on the golf course. Baseball, I won't even discuss. So yes, I am officially addicted to :

Wii (smh)

I dunno if I can ever thank him enough for this beautiful gift...it was well worth the wait. I cannot wait to get home just to play with it...Oh by the way, it is a brutally honest game...My Wii fitness age was assessed

(http://http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2006/11/12/wii-sports-training-and-fitness-modes-documented/) and I was kinda disappointed...I thought I was doing so good LMAO! But anyways, I know that I need to decrease that number and bring it closer to my REAL age...Doesn't matter though, I still had fun trying the various games...My next purchase will be the whole Wii Fit bundle. Hopefully I will have as much fun with it... I'm @ work now and cannot wait to be reunited with it...Until then, I shall be dreaming about it. I hope.

Ok gotta go! :o)

What are YOU doing?!

Ok so it's a new year...New pic. Jacked from Shepard Fairey's theme for his Obama "Hope" and "Change" posters...Surprising? No. As u can tell from my previous entry, Barack Obama is my *obsession* ...ok sorry he's my current hero. He's so inspiring...His inauguration moved me to tears, something like 50-11 times...I felt beyond proud and honored to witness such a GREAT historical moment...I've witnessed 9/11, and it was such a devastating time...I've witnessed a black HAITIAN woman here in Canada being elected as Governor General of Canada and it made me feel proud! Witnessing Barack Obama though...wow. I can't even find the words to properly describe how I felt...Oh and it didn't help that I was on full PMS-mode. So the tears...yeah, they were ridiculous! Outta control...But I'm so glad...So proud! So inspired. So moved! I loved it! I cannot wait til he comes to Canada...I will make it an obligation to be present. Obama shirt and all...

Umm, this post wasn't supposed to be Obama related...but I just couldn't help it. I woke up in the middle of the night from tuesday-wednesday so I could catch some highlights of his inauguration on the news...And I couldnt fall back to sleep...the moment was so magical...Obama, Mr. (black) President....u owe me some much needed sleep! TY in advance...

My holiday season was...it was ok. I was with my Dad, spent good times with him. He's the bestest dad...ever. Period! Made me laugh so hard, I was in tears. The rest of the time I was alone. I worked. Nothing special. Santa was good to me...I hope everyone had good times! I wish you all a wonderful, healthy, lovely, prosperous, successful 2009...

A few posts ago, I mentionned my addiction to my Blackberry...It's still pretty serious. The night my BB was out of order, I chatted with a close friend of mine in the middle of the night, and he told me about this cool website he just couldn't seem to get enough of. He sent me the link...and since I was bored outta my mind and in full BB panic/crisis/hysteria mode, I decided to check it out...At first I checked it out in hopes that I would find a beautiful soul who could help me revive my precious BB, but alas, I didn't find anyone to help with that tragedy. So I decided to browse around the website, came accross pages dedicated to or managed by artists, celebrities, models, politicians (BARACK OBAMA too!!!) and the website become more and more intriguing and interesting...I created an account for myself...and since then, I think I am slowly, but SURELY developping an addiction to..... :

*~TWITTER~*

(bows head in shame...)

I constantly check it out for updates, or to get my Twittering-On, add new folks, follow folks around...I couldn't get enough of it, so I downloaded the TwitterBerry application for my precious BB. It's such a cool website...it's great for nosey folks...To use Twitter, one just has to answer one simple question : "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" in a maximum of 140 characters...Sounds simple...It is. It's also potentially addictive. I have been trying to change my profile picture for the past hour, and I keep getting a message telling me that Twitter is over-capacity and to try again in a few...Every second, someone updates their Twitter page by answering the simple question "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I just checked the public timeline and I counted 20 ppl who had updated their page less than 5 seconds prior to the time I checked it out...And I stopped at 20 but there were many many more...So thanks to my friend DirtyLove, I have a new, completely crazy, funny, cool addiction and it looks like it's just getting better!!! OK gotta go...Gotta make sure I can upload this new picture and read the lastest updates available...! Gotta love it! I feel so dirty inside...lmaooo!

Twit-y'all later!
