Guitar Hero

There are some married couples that enjoy a little competition between themselves. Some may say it keeps things fun, as long as it's a "healthy" competition. Some play board games while others have handstand contests. In this house, its all about Guitar Hero. We compete for the honors of high score on any particular song (there are about 50 songs). Jason is really good at this particular game and I can't help but strive to be better than him. Sometimes it gets a little too competitive. Some may call this an "obsession" but what really makes something an obsession? Sure, Jake may sometimes have to get Jeffrey's and his own breakfasts and lunches that day, but I wouldn't call that neglect, it's more like "being a big helper while mom tries to cremate daddy's score". It must be said that on at least one, maybe even two songs, I do hold the high score. Jason has unsuccessfully tried to reclaim his position as the top rocker. Thank you, thank you, please hold your applause. For those of you that have played Guitar Hero, I am hoping you can understand how this game can quickly take over your life. If you are not yet familiar, just come on over you will shortly see. I wonder if they have GHA in the area. My name is Sarah and I am addicted to guitar Hero. I guess admitting you have a problem is the first step. I'm telling you people, I dream this game.
Here is a video clip of Jacob playing air guitar along with me. Yes, my children are a part of my sickness. Jake does know the words to Red Hot Chili Peppers "Suck My Kiss". I know, this is really that bad, I just can't stop. Honestly though, I have been trying to get a picture of the kids dancing to the game and it has proven to be quite difficult. This is a "hidden camera" clip. Jake didn't know I was filming him. I must add, when Jake "rocks" as he calls it, he runs upstairs to put spikes in his hair, and wears his wrist strap that he thinks is so cool. Oh, and the swinging of the arm in circles, his his rendition of a helicopter, which is the name of the song (his favorite).

In this one, Jake is trying to throw "battle power" at me by lifting the neck of his air guitar. It is really funny if you know the game. Again a hidden video.

Sweet moves Jake! He's a little bit country AND a little bit rock n' roll. I like that ... i think that's exactly what Avery's looking for in a young man. =) Wish I could see you all in "Guitar Hero Mode" live ... sounds like it's quite a sight. Maybe some day.
