A New Teenagers Celebration With Gaming
The time of year had come to celebrate my son’s birthday. After a little thought we came up with what we hoped would be a great way to celebrate the occasion. It was time to bring out the video games. The theme of the party was going to be go big or go home, and we decided we would go big.
The first thing we would need was going to be some video game platforms, and it was not going to be good enough to only have one, we would have to get a Nintendo Wii, an Xbox 360 Kinect and a Playstation move along with a variety of games for the kids to play and some televisions for them to play on.
There was no need for me to worry about how we would get the platforms for gaming and the televisions to play them on. Or so I thought it would be simple. Our home was already equipped with the Wii gaming console. I contacted a video game store and asked them if they had the systems to rent and found out they did not have the Xbox Kinect because it was to new and since the Xbox 360 Kinect release date had just passed it would be a while for them to start renting them but they did have titles available for all three of the platforms and it would just be a matter of finding a store that had the titles that I wanted. We did not let that stop us from getting all three platforms. Through friends and families we were able to find the consoles that we did not have and were able to use them for the party.
The other part of the gaming equation was getting the monitors to enjoy the games on. Fortunately our home was already equipped with a big lat panel TV and we also had a decent size TV available for another console. But the theme was to go big and we would need more. We were able to lease a television that was bigger than I ever imagined, seventy-three inches, and it was delivered before the party. They did not let you rent it for a couple of days, so it stayed in our home for a month. This meant we had to suffer with the big television in our home for three whole weeks. My wife hated the idea, but it had to be done.
As the party approached we got everything set up. The local video store was one of the places that we found some games that the kids would enjoy. The kids who came to the party brought their own gaming supplies with them. When we were digging through the closets we found some handheld gaming systems and some plug and play systems. We set up everything that we had that had anything to do with video games. We did not have a shortage of things for a kid to do.
As the kids arrived I was amazed at the variety of thing that they brought with them. The number of accessories that these kids had for the games was amazing. It was hard to believe that you had sporting good equipment and racing wheels for the different games. The kids also had no shortage of different titles that they gathered from their own collections. It was a good thing the party was a sleepover so the kids would have enough time to enjoy everything they had.
I gave up at some point in the party. That was not the case of the teenagers in my home. I do not think the televisions ever got turned off. As I cooked some food, they were still playing. I do not know how happy the other parents were about the lack of sleep for their children. But we succeeded in going big.

Alamo Heights High School Alumni: Marisol Deluna $9.8 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Marisol Patricia Luna (born June 20, 1967, in San Antonio, Texas), also known as Marisol Deluna, is an American fashion designer who specializes in couture apparel yet is most noted for her custom designed silk scarves and ties that target an unorthodox customer base in the fashion industry: non-profit organizations. In the first grade, her own "House of Deluna" specialized in the creation of multi tier ballgowns for a royal smart set of pretty princesses. While in middle school, she paid a fellow classmate five dollars to sew a skirt of her own design for a homemaking class assignment. This would later be known as her first time to rely on production outsourcing. During her high school years, a special art class was offered just for Marisol to work on school projects. These tasks included drama productions, fundraising and advertising to promote school spirit. She was elected by her peers to the Student Council, helped lead her school's National Art Honor Society, received the "Most Artistic Senior" Academic Award and was voted "Most Iconoclastic" by her classmates upon graduation. One of five children, she grew up in a house of her father's design in the San Antonio, Texas suburb of Alamo Heights. Her upbringing was typically suburban in all aspects of her early teen years. Babysitting was her main source of employment. She spent her free time shopping at a local mall, playing video games at 7-Eleven, watching MTV with friends and playing tennis. Always admiring her mother's Mikimoto pearls, she lived by the writings of the 1980 Lisa Birnbach's Official Preppy Handbook by dressing the part to prepdom perfection and attending Cotillion. This was until her grandfather gifted her a random pair of military issued combat boots which began a sh... More: |
