My brother called and woke me up. He was in the area and wanted to know if he could come over. I replied “Sure”. I went to the living room and slept by the door until he came knocking.

After BS’ing for a while, he shows me the new car that he just purchased. Man … This thing was nice. I think he said he spent $23,000 on it.

We went over to CompUSA and looked around. I found a pack of 10 DVD’s with slimline cases and picked them up for under $6.00.

He wants a DVD burner, but he is picky about the color. He wants silver, but the only thing that comes in silver is from SONY. Krozy doesn’t trust Sony because they have a vested interest with media or something.

I personally don’t have a problem with Sony. Actually, I think of quality when I hear the name. I just purchased an external Double Layer DVD burner (DRX-720UL) from them just this past week. Man, that thing is faster them my old DVD burner.

We went over to the HDTVs and were impressed with the most expensive ones. I looked at some projectors that supported HDTV. The price was really low compared to the regular TV’s. Krozy pointed out that the lumens are pretty low and that the eyes can’t adjust to the projector as well as a regular TV. So we passed them up and continued looking around.

We headed on over to Burger King and then went on over to the movies afterwards. We watched Robots. There were hardly any sexual innuendos that most children’s movies have these days. It was actually a cute and innocent movie for a change. I had fun watching it.

My brother came back to the house and for the next few hours, we played Grand Theft Auto San Andreas and ate spaghetti. I found a pimp mobile at a mansion next to the VINEWOOD letters. These huge letters appear on the top of a hill and remind me of Hollywood.

Pimping is really cool. You start to rack up some big money when you pick up the girls from there customers. We ran into a problem with the fourth pickup in that a customer didn’t want to pay up. We were able to chase him down and kill him and collect some cash, but a police officer busted us before we could pick up the girl. It was horrible. This girl would run after us with the police officer, so we couldn’t pick her up without getting into trouble.

Krozy tells me that San Andreas isn’t available for XBOX and won’t be until the beginning of June. That seems to be a long ways away. I want it for the PC because I prefer the higher resolutions. It’s hard to see markers on the map when looking at a television. He also mentioned that the XBOX2 is going to be revealed at E3 this year. That’s great news. I hear that the PS3 will also be revealed at E3. If XBOX2 is going to be released this Christmas, then I hope that the PS3 will be released close to that time as well.
