It’s been a pretty exciting year so far here on the blog and show. I wanted to check in on my peeps to see how you guys and girls are. I had a pretty incredible reminder these past few days of just how amazing this community has grown to be. All of you checking in from Sweden, Italy, the Netherlands, Canada, US, Thailand, Spain, Japan, China, Ireland, Finland, Norway, Indonesia and all other parts of the world have been my motivation. I’m hoping to do some more exciting things to keep you all tuning in, commenting, participating and having fun.
It’s so common in the blogosphere to simply post away and keep hammering the community with news, articles and such with no real regard to how the community is doing but that’s never been what I’m about here. So how’s everything going out there? Family okay, school okay, pets okay, life okay?
Looking good...

April 10th, 2008 at 9:56 am
Doing pretty good all around I’d say. Lots of little projects in the works and enjoying the U360 Community.
April 10th, 2008 at 9:59 am
I think knowing that you care is what makes this site what it is…I haven’t come across a better community site and refuse to look now.
So far so good in Ardmore, OK. Family’s doing great, our dog is doing great, life is good man…we have been very, very blessed. How about you Deacon?
April 10th, 2008 at 10:07 am
no complaints here. you guys might be getting a basketball team eh caleb …what do ya think about that?
oh wait i do have one complaint…the stupid weather here in Dallas.
April 10th, 2008 at 10:09 am
OK is getting an NBA franchise? why not the Burgh? we are the city of champions afterall…
April 10th, 2008 at 10:11 am
Well I’m headlong into final exams and I’m impatiently awaiting the arrival of my new laptop other than that I’m just trying to put this school behind me so I can focus on the important stuff…like playing Rainbox Six Vegas 2
April 10th, 2008 at 10:13 am
I meant school stuff, not the school in general. At least not yet
April 10th, 2008 at 10:19 am
Pitt doesn’t need an NBA team! lol
@Intangible…getting closer though dood.
April 10th, 2008 at 10:21 am
“no complaints here. you guys might be getting a basketball team eh caleb …what do ya think about that?”
I am excited that Oklahoma is getting the opportunity for something like that, the state is hungry for it and I hope it succeeds and that our state can support it like it needs to be but to be honest man, I’m a MFFL…sorry Sonics, the only time they will have my attention is when they play Dallas.
Oh and the weather up here was insane last night. Sunny now though…thought we were going to have a ‘twister’.
April 10th, 2008 at 10:36 am
Life is great at the mo, got another year at college then I’m thinking about my future job or going to Uni, not too sure yet but apart from that it’s all good here.
April 10th, 2008 at 11:10 am
I’m doing well. I can’t really complain. I’m in good health and relaxing at the moment. I finally bought SSB Brawl, which has put me in a particularly good mood.
April 10th, 2008 at 11:12 am
I r good, I head out to Atlantic City tomm to go put myself in debt! Cant wait.
April 10th, 2008 at 11:15 am
Well I’m doing much better since last time you asked.. In a few days we will see if I’m totally wrong (I’m about to change job and it’s a bit.. stressing?)
But my dog is in good health lol.
April 10th, 2008 at 11:33 am
Myself, I could be doing better but I refuse to not be positive about life.
A picture I entered in a Canadian contest got put up on Inside Xbox and I also won the contest to boot.
April 10th, 2008 at 11:34 am
Well, the sky is falling, some kind of itchiness has befallen hordes, and someone told me Microsoft was turning into Nintendo. Other than that, its been peaches.
April 10th, 2008 at 11:37 am

Even if I don’t post a reply everyday, I do chck the site several times a day. U360 is far and away the BEST xbix 360 community site on the web. Thanks again for the hard work, Deacon. I’m looking forward to whats next for U360!
April 10th, 2008 at 12:47 pm

April 10th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Congrats Reaper!!! My wife and I have a daughter too . She’ll be 4 in June and she’s a handful!!
Can’t complain, I reserved a copy of GTA IV yesterday and I’m really excited to see what that’s like. Multiplayer sounds fun.
Looks to be a good year for games!!! Wooooooooooooooo!!!
April 10th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Life is great!! Grats Reaper!!I hope that you doing just as well Deacon!
April 10th, 2008 at 1:33 pm

April 10th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Started the new job in Jan. Could use a raise, I’m just thankful I found a room mate I knew from high school… otherwise the bills would be too much. But it’s a start.
Working in the IT department at a tax firm, 5 more days of everyone here being stressed to their wit’s end, then it should come down. This summer the IT department plans a huge upgrade to SAN & blade servers, will be geeky fun.
My own little WinBreak.com has been doing really well… I get impressive traffic, considering how sparsely I update. I want to dedicate more to that, but as tax season has come crashing down on me it’s been harder to want to look at a screen after I get out of work!
I’ve VERY recently started writing again (I’m an English major, contrary to my current career!) in my tiny bits of free time. It feels good.
No “special someone” in my life, but I’ve been setting a few long term goals, both career and personal, including talking a girl from home into possibly moving to Eastern PA with me… but really, the weather’s getting nice and I’m feeling alright - that’s all that matters to me.

See, this is why I enjoy this community. You really care.
Every day that I wake up is a great day! A few bumps in the road, but all things considered, I am doing great.
April 10th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
I love this community i am so glad i found it!!

April 10th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Thanks everyone! Its going to be a lot of work, but its definitely worth it!
April 10th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Reap gratz on the new addition you name Little Thump LOL.Hope everything going well for the whole community!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 10th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
First off my job sucks!! I have been trying to find a new job in computer repair but no luck. Im buging out on making plans on going to the DUB car show at Atlanta in May and P.A.X. this August. My car is acting up. Helping my mom fixing up the kicten. But like Young Jeezy says “besides the bull**** lifes great”
April 10th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Well turning 41 this week,alot of good things going on so I’m tickled to death and know why I love the community Deacon has created
April 10th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
@Pimp, keep the hustle going man…things will turn up.
April 10th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
I just found out I tore my rotator cup in my left shoulder. I guess that’s what happens when you get old. Things could be worse I could start going bald.
April 11th, 2008 at 4:52 am
you have no chance of going bald dude.
April 11th, 2008 at 7:12 am
I haven’t been doing much gaming the past couple of weeks, due to a hectic schedule, which is always a bummer. On top of that I leave for China next Saturday (4/19) for two weeks, which is always a bit of a chore. While it can be fun at times, it’s not the easiest to be away from my “normalcy”.
My wife and I celebrate 9 years of marriage next month and our cat is going to be 14 this summer. All in all, the shoedog-camp is doing A-Okay.
Speaking of “A-Okay,” how about this site? Kudos to Deacon!
April 11th, 2008 at 7:21 am
wow China? awesome! have a safe flight dude.
April 11th, 2008 at 11:59 am
I’ve been doing pretty well. I recently got the P90X DVD’s and must say it is the greatest workout program and well worth the price!
I also recently started posting over at Xbox.com again more. I haven’t been that active over the last two months as I’ve been practicing for MLG San Diego in June with my team for Halo 3.
Glad to see this site still going strong and hope everyone else is doing well too

everything’s cool. just remember:
“If you’re not wasted, then the day is!”
