I just had a great weekend with some old friends I just met. This was the greatest group of people I have met in many years. Who says on line gaming is not constructive. About four years ago I met this group of Irish guys Paul and Dave evo on xbox live. Despite small communication issues (a thick accent) I befriended them, as they did me. This lead me to meet other Irish guys by association, namely, Danny, doogie, Owen, ray, gerry, chriswalker, lol this list goes on and on, We created a xbox live clan and have played xbox with on a nearly daily basis.

A few months ago I heard that doogie, and Dave were planning holidays for themselves, Allison, Elane, and chriswalker, (their respective families)and that they were planning to take a trip to the states. They were debating if they were going to visit Vegas, or Disney world. I convinced them to come to Disney World. Well at least I think I in fluinced the decision a little, Regardless, I am so happy they made the choice to visit Florida. As soon as I could get free at work, me and the wife (another avid gamer) jumped in the truck and headed down to see my Irish friends.

We had allot of fun over the two days we were able to spend together, it was like seeing old family. Like a cousin you only get to see every once in a while. We made some great memories, of swimming, go-cart racing, and time spent at a shooting range that will stay with us forever.

[bold] TLDR VERSION: [/bold]

What I wanted to convey is that great friendships can be created through on line interaction. Whether it be Xbox live, PSN, MSN, or acidmods. Turns out there are allot of great People in the world, and without a small bit of tolerance, you could never meet some great people from across the world. LOL remember, you sound funny to them also. So next time your in a room with some people who speak slightly different then you, give them a chance. There are allot of great people in the world. 

Here are a few pictures:

That's really cool. I always enjoy meeting in person with the people I meet and become friends with online. I am currently working on my list of AMers lol. So far I can check off Cyber and KingMike. Lol both really good guys. Any other AMers in TX (Houston, San Antonio, and Austin areas) wanna meet up let me know, I always like a good road trip! Well soon as I get my license back anyway lol
