I want to dedicate this blog post to my lovely wife, who every holiday season puts up with an event that only a nerd could love. Â I’m talking about the long standing KP Bandit tradition of the Christmas LAN party. Â From it’s humble beginnings with 3 computers daisy chained with serial cables to play the original Star Craft, it has grown and evolved over the years into an 8 player affair with consoles. Â Here is a shot from the wee hours of Sunday morning:
We also took a group shot on Monday with the last few standing:
When you have two young children, it’s not easy to deal with half your house being taken over by a group of guys who basically just eat, drink and play video games for three days straight, especially when I’m one of them and neglecting most of usual parental duties. Â But bless her heart, she never complains, and lets us have our fun and get it out of our systems (until the following year).
So with that said, I dedicate to her this great song that I found. Â It’s a collaboration between Shaggy and a bunch of other dudes I have never heard of. Â It’s not really a reggae song, but it does have Shaggy in it, it’s pretty catchy, and the other dudes can sing. Â I’m guessing the other artists are probably some guys that are well known internationally in their respective genres. Â I’m a little surprised that I haven’t heard this song on the radio before, although, truth be told I don’t listen to the radio very much. Â In terms of the reggae world, Shaggy is one of the few successful cross over artists, so you would think a song like this would get some airplay. Â In any case, the song is fun and light-hearted, just like the woman I’m dedicating it to 🙂
