30 days until I become a Millionaire

ESPN.com-2K Sports announced out of the blue this morning that not only will “MLB 2K13” be published this year for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but the company’s million dollar perfect game challenge will also return, giving baseball fans the chance to live out their dream of getting rich playing video games. 
According to the press release, “MLB 2K13” will be available March 5, and Tampa Bay Rays’ ace David Price will appear on the cover.
Nearly 1 million attempts were made to win the perfect game challenge last year, with more than 1,000 perfect games recorded, before 21-year-old Christopher Gilmore finally won an eight-player tournament against the top 2K players in the world to capture the $1 million grand prize.

Hey Chris Gilmore I'm coming for that ass (that sounded gay didn't it?)! Last year I threw three perfect games out of the 1,000 that were thrown. Finished in the top 100. 80 spots away from a million dollars. I repeat, I'm coming for that ass. That's how I get my first million, I know it and so do you. I will put my heart, sweat, self-worth, and dignity into this game to win a million dollars. I WILL make a million dollars playing video games.

PS- Just hope T Boon Pickens doesn't hear about this, wouldn't want him stunting on me heavy like he did Drake...


First day back at work was excruciating

My first day back at work on the worst day ever. The day after the Super Bowl is unequivocally the worst day of all time. Factor in that it was my first day at a new job, and my first day after sleeping until 3 PM for a week and a half. I almost passed out after an hour. Yea it was good to "interact" with people and all but after an hour all I wanted to was go back to bed and fire up the xbox. Terribly long, had a headache all day and like four coffees. No more football for over 200 days, lost a million dollars on the worst no pass interference/holding (and the coin toss) call I've ever seen, new job, ten hour day after not working for a week and a half, all around longest day ever. Can't say I didn't enjoy it while it lasted though, that vacation will go down as my greatest performance of all time. Probably make an ESPN classic out of it. The Immaculate Vacation, I can see it now
