Xbox 360 vs PS3

    The Xbox360 clearly has the better graphics then the PS3 because of the fact that the Xbox360 uses a custom ATI processor. The PS3 graphics add more details to the pictures but it still barely under the behind the Xbox360 in graphics. The PS3 uses custom NVIDA graphics processor. Microsoft’s Xbox360 was originally launched in 2005 and has now sold over 39 million units (as of January 6th 2010), which was more then the PS3 because it was release a year before the PS3 was. Sony’s PlayStation 3 originally launched in 2006 and has sold well over 27 million unites (as of September 2009). Since the Xbox360 had sales from 2005 to 2010 it had obviously would have had more sales then the PS3 which only had sales from 2006 to 2009. A common argument for the Xbox being better then the PS3 is that there are more people that play online on the Xbox360. It does not really matter because there are still ton of people that play on the PS3 and it not like you would be playing with every single person in one match so the number difference does not really matter in the first place as long as there are enough people for you to get a match started online which is mostly around 12 people.
    The Xbox360 has a build in DVD player which is pretty cool and convenient. You could also pay about 120 bucks to get eh HD DVD player attachment on the Xbox360 and you would be watching video in high definition which is even better. The PS3 would top that with the build in Blu-Ray player. You don't have to play for the extra attachment for a great movie experience, it just comes with it. The Blu-Ray is also in fact better then HD which makes it even a better deal on the PS3 side.
    For Internet connection I believe the PS3 win on this hands down for one reason. Unlike the Xbox360, the PS3 comes with a build in wireless system which can connect you to your modem with out any wires. The Xbox360 does not come with this but if you wanted to you could pay 100 bucks for a wireless thing that could could connect in to your Xbox360, but why would you want to spend another 100 bucks.
    What's even better is that the PS3 has build in Blue Tooth but the Xbox does not. In my opinion the like the PS3 controllers more because the Xbox360's is really big and Heavier then the PS3. For the Xbox360 controllers you have to buy batteries every time they run or you could spend 20 bucks more for a charger with a battery pack. Throwing the batteries away is bad for planet and that is bad. The PS3's controllers are charged by the console with out having to buy anything else.
    I have own both the Xbox and the PS3. The Xbox 360 broke down about 3 times on me and the last time it broke down the warranty wore out so they did not fix it for me and that is when i started to hate them. The PS3 on the other hand has not broke down on me and so far I don't find anything wrong with it.
   

story

Jerry was attending college and was going to major in business by the end of the school year. He was currently working at Safeway to pay off his bills because he did not want a crazy job that would take up alot of his time. His favorite thing to do was skateboarding and he was really good to, the only problem was he never filmed or made videos for the world to see, but his skate crew knew he was sponsorship type. He wanted to open up a skateboard brand or at least a shop to make some side money to help his family out a little bit but he did not have the money to start a company or even lease a place to make a store at. His best friend was really rich but he never wanted to ask him for money because that was just the way he was, but one day he decided that he should because his grandparents were sick and they need help. "Paul how have you been ?"
 "Eh, i am doing alite, what sup with chu, how you been Jerry"School is a pain in the ass and skating is great so i guess i am doing good to".
"Oh dude that hellla suck man". "Yeah, so like i was wondering if I could barrow money from you to start a company i will pay you back the full amount plus a 10% interest when I get it all set up and working as i planned it to be".
"I don't know bluh, starting a skating company is going cost alot of money you feel me?".
 "Yeah i do, but i am pretty sure i will be able to pull it off, you got faith in me right?". Jerry said with confidences.
 "I got your back on everything but loaning money for to start a company that might not be successfully is where i am trippin at yo". "Well i understand the fact that your worried about you money but i really need this, i need to help my family while i am still attending school".
 "I am not sure if it is a smart investment man, i don't wanna loss money, I didn't get here investing on people that were close to me, i invested on people I knew for sure were going to make money".
"So what your saying is that you don't believe in me?".
 "Nah i believe you, it just money....".
 "Well can't believe you value money more then me, your best friend from first grade, I always had your back through these years and kept you out of trouble".
"Well i thank you for that it just things change when u get older you know ? I don't wanna go bankrupt yo."
"Wow.... some times your so self centered."
"Okay and most the time you trip for no reason".
"I am tripping because my best friend don't trust me and he value money from then me...".
"Dude chill out, damn beggar". "So this is how you treat me". "Like i said things change man, i am sorry i can't help you".
 "Yeah things do change, like for example, you changed".
"Okay so ? I don't care I make money so it is like whatever your just mad you don't make money like i do."
 "I don't wanna be your friend no more don't talk to me no more or ask me for help".
"HA, me ask you for help ? your hella funny look whose talking, the one at his knees asking me for money, get the *#$% out of my house i don't care if you don't wanna be my friend I don't even need you."
 "Alright, remember what you said".
"Yeah, that is not to hard to remember".
Jerry leaves the house in disappointment. He decides to film a skate video to try to get sponsored and get money that way. and a couple weeks later he gets a call from ADIDAS SB telling him they want him to skate for them. They then agree to loan him money to start a company that is going to be a branch of ADIDAS SB. He smiles has his dreams are starting to come true slowly

the four day weekend

  Thursday was a pretty chill skate day that involved lots of walking. We went to Saint Joes to talk to a friend, when we got there we got kicked out from the school and they won't even let us get food from the taco truck. I pissed the shit out of me because they were talking to us like we are not even humans just because we where skaters. It started to rain and we where standing under the roof of the outer buildings and they won't even let us wait till it stop raining. We walked to the parking garage and met this one white guy that was pretty good, he did a 360-kick flip-foot-plant, which was the cleanest thing i have seen in person.
    Saturday we hit up Webster street, hitting the Bank's 3 stair till we got kicked out because customers were complaining about how the banks was not doing anything at first. Then we went to Washington school for a while and we met this Asian guy that was tail sliding a 3-4 foot ledge which was crazy. We then went to Wal-Greens and skated there till me and my friend got picked up.
    On Sunday I boosted from my house on Bay-farm all the way to Lincoln park, and when i got there i was in pain. I played this guy in skate and won. Then we went to Lincoln school but i was to tired to skate. On the way home i got Pizza from La Vals and it was hella good
    Monday was the stay home day and rest. I basically went to visit my grandma's grave and went back home. Through the whole weekend i was playing COD MW2 each night for hella long and almost all day on Monday. It was a good relaxing weekend for me and I can't wait for Spring break

skateboarding is a...... crime?

    The way that people treat skateboarders are ridiculous. Some people fear us, and others hate us. We're lucky if we ever run in to someone that don't mind us skating around and stuff. Our worst enemy though are the security guards. Their always on our asses and asking like they could do hella shit that they really can't do take attempting to take our boards and assaulting us. That hasn't happen to our crew yet, but i am sure that that kind of stuff happens everyday, and sometimes it gets posted on youtube exposing the true colors of the people that "are keeping us safe". Another thing i hate is the fact that lots of people talk to us like we are lower in life and that they are better then us, giving us no respect at all, talk to us like we are killers or violators of the law which makes me wonder what is wrong with people now a days.

    Last weekend we ran in to some asshole security guards at south shore that threaten to arrest us which is a load of crap because they don't even have the right has the security. Then they were saying how they were "filming us" and sending it to the alameda police so they can come to our house and take us to jail under his request which is stupid. I asked him that is the reason that we couldn't skate and he said because we were "trespassing" private property, then i replied saying that there was NO cars around that we could have hit or get it by and instead of talking it out like mature adults, he called the police instead. It pisses me off that they don't even have a legit reason for kicking us out, nor talking things out. All we doing is having fun and yet they are acting like we are a gang.

Bipolar on skating

About a month ago, i was in love with skateboarding. It was one of those things you thought you could not live anymore if you were not able to do it anymore. I was putting skating on the top of my list, it was the most important thing to be and i couldn't stop not matter how badly I got hurt or how crappy the weather was. I even put it before school to the point were my grade started to drop quickly, but i wasn't tripping since skating was the only thing i thought about. The only word you could use to express this was that i was obsessed with skating and that accomplishments i had while dong the sport.
. Lately this feeling had died down, I don't really feel the energy that i used to. It could be that fact that i am addicted to Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 or the fact that I skated a bit to much. One thing i am sure of, Alameda is not really much of a skating city, you get kicked out of everywhere. We even get kicked from the naval base, which is stupid since there is no one out there that could get hurt by us, the public just hates us. Also the fact that i am trying to do better in AP physics. I am hoping that this changes because i don't want to get fat again from playing video games all day and eating. Skating was the only exercise that I got, but it was 7-8 hours a day on non-school days. Maybe I just need a break from skating and things will get back to normal, whatever the reason it, i am glad to know that it is not because i broke a leg.

Fitzgerald's dialogue—mini-analysis Pat Hobby

Pat Hobby Says that he is a writer for pictures. When he said " Would you be able to pay in advance?" it shows that he is smart at cheating people out of their money, because if he gets caught that he is not a tour guide, he would still have some of the money. Pat and Fitzgerald are alike in that they are both writers and they used to be famous but now they are some what like has-beens. While he is talking to Gus, it showed that Pat was a really good liar and could come up with random bs on the spot, " they might be working in the studios.", and when he says " well, you see we're on strike,". He is also a really selfish person, in a way were if people are in trouble because of him, then he rather help himself then the others. This is shown when he is in the last house, when he sees the car pulling up, he runs away with out warning his cilents, just hopes that the people forget his name and the owner of the house, Ronald Colman, doesn't remember his last name, proving that he is really only looking out for himself.
