We Were Meant To Live [For So Much More] ...

Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bid for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly.

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere -- live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside.

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin' with our eyes half-open
Maybe we're bent and broken.

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere -- live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside.

We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live

*pft* I hope you guys didn't think I wrote this poem by myself. No way. Instead, these are the direct lyrics to Switchfoot's "Meant To Live [For So Much More]". Funny, eh? =P

Green Vs. Yellow = Red Vs. Blue's Parody ...

... wait ... it's already a parody ... ! ... ? ... ! ... on Halo???

... yeah. Mm-hm. Well, a few friends and I are working on a parody on the hit-parody based on the Halo franchise called Red Vs. Blue. Anybody has a point to stop me, though?

... didn't think so.

Short post, short subject.

If I get updates, I'll get back to you.

If not ...

... well, ... I guess that's up to you, now, isn't it?!?!?

Half-Life 2 = 100% In My Book!!!

I just finished Half-Life 2, and, so I won't spoil the ending for those people out there who haven't finished the game yet, (shame on you!) I'll just state that at the end the G-Man has a friendly talk with you and then walks off. Time stops for some reason. It's actually pretty f**king interesting. *nods head* Exactly. You see where I'm going with this? Since I'm in a [fairly] eager mood, having finished the game exactly about ... *looks at watch* ... about 5 minutes ago, I want to write a slight article about it ... slightly a review, of sorts ... well, here I go ... *sigh* ...

Gameplay: Um ... not much to put for this one; it's pretty straightforward. The gameplay ROCKS, and for further details, read the title [duh!]. The textures look great, the weapon-design is superb, the voice-acting was great-above-all, the level-design was brilliant, and the ending was ... well ... not shabby, but feels kinda leading into something else ... Half-Life 3, anyone?

Voice-Acting: Great.

Video: Wonderful.

Controls: Beautiful.

Overall: Is there really anything to describe this game? Pretty much a 100%, eh, give-or-take a few points on the fact that ... hey, who am I kidding? Valve produces great games, and what do you expect from them? MORE GREAT GAMES! Two thumbs-up. Great. Whoo!!

Now to try it on hard ... ... ... ^_^

Clocks Go Down And They Can't Be Heard ...

Wow. Double-wow. So long. So hard. I could update with pictures. I could update with a lengthy page about something I like. Or I could babble. You always love the babbling. You know you like the babbling. You couldn't live w/o the babbling ... ah, whoops ... there I go babbling again ... ^_^

Then I turn around and think, WTF, mate? But then I figure out that I'm talking to myself. Recapping what happened at my friend, Victor's birthday party, the funniest highlights went as follows:

*friend talks to Victor since he can't go to sleep, and is on computer chatting to friends*
Friend 1: Oh my god, I have such a headache ... god, what was in that apple cider?
*silence*
Friend 1: Can I have some aspirin?
Victor: Ah ... lemme see ... *walks to medicine cabinet, removes bottle of pills, and returns to desk* ... uh, do you have any health problems? Like asthma, ulcers, or the like?
Friend 1: *blank stare* I have asthma.
Victor: Ah, okay. *shakes pill bottle nervously and fumbles for notepad* I just need you to sign these release forms stating that if you die on this premises it had absolutely nothing to do with me, okay?
*silence*
Friend 1: *stone-cold stare* Just give me the f**king pills.

And, then, to follow up later that same night, we had been playing hide-and-seek indoors, when it was nearly pitch-black. Friend 1 was the person who was "it". "Grim" is me:

*Grim runs upstairs to Victor's bedroom, pulls sofa out from wall, and sinks behind it and the wall, beneath windowsill, slight light casting light on me from above. Friend 1 runs into the room, jumps onto the back-top of the sofa and looks at of the window, down the roof, to the left & the right, and then doubles back and runs back through the doorway he entered from. Grim looked up seeing him right above him, and, as Friend 1 leaves, gives slight chuckle behind sofa, seeing as how stupid Friend 1 was. After finding the rest of the people, Friend 1 and the other friends search the house, and come back to Vic's room. After searching, Friend 1 starts back out the doorway*
Friend 1: Where is that dumb***?
*Grim sits up from behind sofa and points at Friend 1*
Grim: You're the dumb***, *insert name here, yet disclosed from legal puposes*.
*laughs occur*

Hmm ... what else was there, you say? Hm ... homemade strawberry cake ... Truth-or-Dare ... Halo 2 System Link / CTF & Team Slayer ... Truth-or-Truth (odd variation of the former) ... apple cider ... root beer ... and many slices of pizza, be it sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, or combo ... eh, that's pretty much it ...
...
... what? You wanted more?
...
... TOO BAD!!! ^_^
