life for, there is a giant cactus you can battle and if you win it will join

you. But it is nearly impossible (well, so far TOTALLY impossible) to beat.

I've tried it alone, and I have tried it together, trading off the

controller, and has tried it alone several times.

TO *KEEP* GOING BACK UNTIL HE BEATS IT!

QUITTER. He quits EVERYTHING. If he doesn't suceed in his first or second

anything, ever. We refuse to back down; we refuse to walk away.

that's is awesome!

one cool thing and one really nice thing.

COOL THING:

for, there is a giant cactus you can battle and if you win it will join you.

But it is nearly impossible (well, so far TOTALLY impossible) to beat. I've

tried it alone, and I have tried it together, trading off the controller,

And then it hit me: HE KEEPS GOING BACK! HE KEEPS TRYING! HE IS GOING TO

*KEEP* GOING BACK UNTIL HE BEATS IT!

Those of you who haven't known very long, know this: is a QUITTER.

And now, HE'S NOT BACKING DOWN! He's determined!

I can't tell you how totally exciting this is. It's like he's turned a corner

of character and spirit!

I told you this ps2 seems to be the ultimate therapy.

REALLY NICE THING:

When we arrived at school, a little girl crossed in front of the car and waved

makes me think of Charlie Brown's little red-haired girl. He'll beat

the cactus, eventually.
