Walking Woes

While walking home with Luke about an hour ago, the following conversations occurred --

-crossing the street-
Me: Alright, stay to my left as we cross the first half and then switch to my right for the second half.
Luke: Why?
Me: So you get run over by speeding vehicles before I do.
Luke: Oh, come on!

And, secondly, ...

Luke: ... so what was that song you used for your very first Green Vs. Yellow trailer?
Me: Born With Nothing, Die With Everything by Papa Roach.
Luke: Oh, right, right ... good song, good song ....
Me: -singing- Born with nothing, ... die with Luke's p3n!s ...
-pause-
Luke: Well, that must be one helluva large casket.
-laughing-

Yeahhh ... let these moments not rot from your mind. Tuck them away. Oh-so-very-deep-away ...

Amen, brotha.

Funeral Processions Are /Not/ My Kinda Thing

Yeah, just last night (well, two nights ago-since-midnight) I went to my dad's friend's funeral. His wife and two kids were there, not much older than I am. It was very saddening to see their father just left behind. But he fought the cancer well and lived his life out to the fullest extent and he helped others obscenely.

Not much to say, I guess. I'm just sorta still in mourning.

Day to Celebrate - Fantasy and Reality

F*ckin' awesome. That's all I've gotta say.

F*ckin' awesome.

Papa Roach finally released their new album, Paramour Sessions, 4 days ago. I'm totally going out tomorrow and picking that one up. I'm so unbelievably happy it's not even funny.

Well, [on another note] a few funny things happened today via guildchat on WoW today between Jade and me. Let's have a look, shall we?

Jade: Luke says hello.. for some reason or another.
Reaper: Mm, he can go f*ck himself. >>;
Jade: Now that's the attitude I like. :D
-pause-
Jade: He wants you.
Jade: To talk to you, that is.
Jade: In the ass.
Reaper: Talk to me in the ass? Wow.
Jade: It's Luke, he's fat, he can pull it off.
Jade: The tumor gives him magical power.
Reaper: xDD
Jade: Fo'shizzle.
Reaper: Fo'shizzle.

After that short conversation we encountered the following "War of the Faces", so-to-speak. Let's watch, shall we?

Jade: TO WINTERSPRING, AWAAAY! O:
Reaper: ... quite intriguing.
Jade: <--- Severely mentally retarded.
Reaper: =O
Jade: O:
Reaper: o.o!
Jade: o.O;
Reaper: :D
Jade: O:
Reaper: o.o!
Jade: O:
Reaper: :D
Jade: O:
Reaper: o.o!
Jade: O:
Reaper: :D
Jade: O:
Reaper: o.o!
Jade: O:
Reaper: o.o?
Jade: O:
Reaper: -.-
Jade: O:
Reaper: -_-'
Jade: O:
Reaper: -_-;
Jade: O:
Reaper: I should totally shoot you now.
Jade: xD
Jade: O:
Reaper: xD
Jade: I need a gun, I hate the sounds bows make..
Reaper: xD
Jade: Time to kill.. and kill.. and kill.. >>;'
Reaper: Fo'shizzle?
-pause-
Jade: Fo'shizzle.
Reaper: xD

And then the ever-classic two lines of the day ...

Jade: F*ck! Another elite!
Jade: Stop attacking meeeeeee! D:

xD And with that note I will prepare by previewing a few of the Papa Roach songs from their new album. The anticipation is killing me.

'Night, all -- godspeed.

Cancer Kills. Seriously.

As of, roughly enough, 4:30 PM yesterday evening one of my father's best friends, as well as my own, by the name of Gary passed away. It is very saddening and hard to cope with right now. We're all in a state of shock it took him so fast.

I suppose this is for more of an update rather than the facts concerning it.

Sorry, guys. I'm just not in the frame of mind to tackle the facts. It's still too hard.

Wish him to rest in peace. The timeframe for the funeral procession is still unknown.

God be with us.

R&R - Rants and Rants -- Edition 3

Rap ... is it an art? Of course it is.

Though, lately, I've been torn. I obviously respect the genre, and I don't refer to any genre of music as trash, especially not rap. It's comprised of a venting of feelings and expressions. One of my friends suggests that it's trash, the other's in love with it.

So where do I stand? In the middle? I think a quote could handle this pretty well:

"That's not true at all, I feel like I am an intelligent person and I like the song. I don't neccesarily agree with all the lyrics, but I love the instrumentals and I respect the art of the artists/rappers involved. And you know what? I respect you even though I don't agree with you and even though I'm sure this little note will make you pissed off, I respect your opinion anyway."

--taken from the "Drop It Like It's Hot" video page on YouTube

Obviously, I don't believe most of these lyrics should try to be imitated. Hell, most of the stuff in here involves gangs, guns, women, or breaking the law. Does that mean I shouldn't listen to it? Does that mean I should feel prejudice against it? Of course not. I can listen to it without imitating it. How could anyone absolutely loathe an art like this? Whether you like it or not, this genre is just like any other genre and requires the same, if not more, work then any other genres in the music business.

To anyone who absolutely loves the genre, don't go overboard with it. It's a wonderful genre, I personally listen to it, and I overly respect it. Does that mean I condone what's said? Maybe not, but it would vary on the music. Don't be ignorant and denounce the genre based on the lyrics of one song. If you would actually sit down and listen to it, maybe you'd get a different outlook on things. If you can't respect the music then don't put it down, -- just shut the hell up about it and move on.

And that concludes our third edition of Rants and Rants. Hope you enjoyed.

First Attempt at GvY Recording = Failure

Yeah.

It happened. I went there.

I tried to get Chris to co-operate in getting on XBOX Live to at least experiment what we could do for various parts of the trailer. I send him an invite and make the server, naturally. I'm even talking to him over MSN about it. But how long does it take him to join something that should probably be something he would drop everything for, seeing as how we've been trying to get it off the ground for years and if I don't get these tests out of the way we won't be doing sh*t?

10 minutes. 10 f*cking minutes.

But that wasn't all. Like hell it wasn't.

As soon as he comes he hijacks a Warthog, then a Banshee, then goes to a sniper spot and tries to shoot out my tires. So, ... I kill him. He claims he was only shooting the tires and leaves the server.

Thanks a lot, Christian. Great team effort. Go team!

Where's the love for the team?

Nowhere.

Christian took it into the woods, molested it, and shot it dead. At least that's how the story went.

So Johnny Dumbf**k here thinks it even a better idea after I tell him I'll just film the stuff myself ... "Uh..sorry? 0.o" Yeah. Exactly. The reaction I was praying all my life for. Oh, wait, no it's not ... just lost as always.

Jesus Christ, people. Can we not just get something done or will I have to abandon all of you and find some internet guys with XBOX Live and give it a shot with them?

That's right.

I'll go there.

--"Reaper"

Reaper Vs. Passwords

It turns out that somebody didn't want us on the server that Christian let us come to in the first place. After a short while, somebody placed a password on the server. The first one wasn't so hard, and I guessed "chaos" first try and got in. But now, a week after discovering the first one, it has been changed again and, the server name being "Remnants of Chaos", I guessed "remnants" but to no avail.

I have no given in to it, though.

I'll keep you posted. Peace out.

The World's Lost Its Mind ...

Jesus, I haven't felt like this in awhile. My friends are awesome, even though I may beg to differ below, and the world is a wonderful place to be (well, sometimes) but its honestly and completely gone to hell. I hate to know what my future and, for that fact, how the future of my entire generation are going to survive, people f*cking up the environment and all.

The world's just going to hell. The last time I can imagine something of this magnitude would have to be back during The Great Depression ... ice caps melting, oil lines busting, Mideast Crises, North Korean menace, and just rampant violence and warfare everywhere. And the world isn't the only place people are going crazy.

My friends are, too, I'm afraid to say.

Jade's pretty awesome. Honestly. He may defend himself to the point of insulting others to his own expense, and he may pass off his facade to keep up his pride, but he's actually pretty weak. Not in a bad way, but just not as badass as he may try to pass off. One minute he may be extremely useful and helpful (like he usually is), though there're sometimes when he's just so annoying, be it insult or ... I don't think there's a word for it. He drives me (and others) so insane that we completely block / mute / ignore him.

Larry's been really helpful. Aside from the fact that we aren't going to the same school together ... we miss you Larry. =(

Chris's been ... well, his usual self. We may crack jokes over him as if he were just some sort of toy to us, but in the end (whether he gets pissed off or just passes over it like it were nothing) I don't think any of us mean any harm over it. I've actually begun to confront people (such as Jade and others) who've been passing derogatory comments about me my way. I won't put up with that sh*t anymore. I have no reason to. Even though Chris threw a little temper tantrum today and completely ignored his friends (Larry, Jade, Luke, and I) and his own girlfriend ... TWICE ... I assume there has to be some good reason behind it. I doubt it was just a retarded ploy for attention.

And now, fairly recently, he's been using an "I-get-the-last-word-before-we-move-on-to-the-next-subject" kind of ploy to get out of arguments that are in his favor. Christian, if you're actually reading this -- realize that that doesn't even work on anybody near you and won't be working on anybody in the future. Don't start the argument or back out of it, don't speak like your word's the constant truth and then delve off-subject. It's annoying, ignorant, and childish.

Chris's girlfriend, Lorin, is crazy. Psychotic. I dunno what she's had in her past, and she actually seems quite ... nice? Well, that is if you answer all her questions right. I dunno how Chris handles her. She's way too insane for me. She's crazy. Period. Stone-cold.f*cking.nuts. She'd probably handle that as a compliment, and Chris won't listen to reason when we warn him she's crazy. It's about 7 people versus his word. He must think he's Jesus, 'cause he's shooting our ideas down and claiming himself to be a savior. If he won't heed our word, I guess he'll just have to wake up next to a psycho someday and think "Damn, why didn't I listen to those guys?"

I owe a personal apology to two of the following people --

Luke -- I know we all make fun of you, and although you act like it doesn't tear you down, you usually glide over ALL comments thrown your way (much like Christian does over the jokes we throw his way) I know it's a bad thing to do and I do it anyway. I'm gonna try to stop acting like a total jackass to you and anybody else I know. 'Try's a very strong term, but I advise all of you guys who're doing what I do think twice about insulting him and try a new strategy much like I am. I mean it.

"Theheretic" AKA "Guntith" AKA "Rotithan" (WoW) -- I know I took your Searing Blade as that 20 gold payment you owed me, and Luke and I had a blast doing it, but in the end I feel awful bad about it ... I'll try to make it up somehow, trust me. I just ... work in mysterious ways. Yeah, that's it. Mysterious.

Well, back to the world -- Israel and Hezbollah *have* been back at it again ... launching rockets, marching troops ... can you believe they're killing many people, blowing up many buildings, and invading many towns ... over two kidnapped soldiers? People I know suggest we just draw the Hezbollah leaders out to some area and then, city or not, nuke the place. But where's the humanity in that? Yeah, of course we'd kill Israel's target (assuming the U.S. has to intervene), but is it worth the radioactive fallout flooding all the nearby towns?

Hah, you might think I'm "goth" or "emo" because of the attitude I have towards many things. Of course I'm not. I've never actually acted out or even contemplated suicide. I don't mutilate my body, cut myself, or anything of the sort. I like the color black, but I don't wear makeup and act "goth". Of course I don't. Maybe dark, but certainly not "goth". You people who make assumptions make wrong ones and need to consult them more than once.

Mm ... and now my dad's even been pestering me about stupid, various little things I've forgotten to do and such ... and it's really starting to piss me off.

The world's becoming insane and retarded ... locally and globally ... and it's really making me angry; I dunno how to vent it -- it's been awhile since I've seethed like this.

Scary.

Can You Feel It Coming In The Air Tonight?

Not only is 'In The Air Tonight' the title of today's / tonight's blog entry, but it's a kickass song made back in the late-80's by Phil Collins but has just recently been remade for the new movie Miami Vice featuring Colin Farrell as Detective Crockett and Jamie Foxx as Detective Tubbs by a group called Nonpoint.

Check out their video here and post your impressions in my comments. I think their remake did Phil Collins / Genesis justice. Good songs happen to be remade for a new generation and this happened to be one of them.

Keep up the good work, everyone-who-worked-on-it.

... For the Matinee Price!!

Haha! I'm leaving for Vegas this Monday, the 27th, at 5 AM, staying there the entire week. Expecting to see the Star Trek - Experience, the different casinos and shops up and down the strip, maybe even drive over to the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon, maybe bump into Leonard Nimoy, Patrick Stewart, William Shatner, or (hopefully) maybe even Criss Angel.

Anywho.

Yeah, well, the title makes no sense. But, let me assure you with some quotes and jokes that struck my fancy --

"White man makes guns, no problem. Black rapper evens says guns, -- congressional hearing."

"We are all lucky to be in America ... even us black people. Now, the black people have a different view in the mirror ... America is like the uncle that paid for your college tuition ... but molested you."

Those were quoted from Chris Rock's performance a few nights ago on HBO-Comedy.

"So, my girlfriend said to me 'Jimmy, we've reached a crossroads in this relationship. Down one path are some troubleships that eventually lead to ultimate happiness. The other road is a dead end.' Naturally, I responded with 'Then it's not a crossroads ... it's a T-junction.'

-chorus of laughter-

Well, I'm glad you found it funny. She went f***ing mental."

"-points at a man in the audience- I read in a magazine that men go bald because they have too many male hormones in their system. My suggestion to you is to stop swallowing."

"My girlfriend used to angry because of the old nagging fact that I used to leave the toilet seat up. So I resolved it -- ... but there's no pleasing her. Now she's angry that the toilet seat is covered with piss."

Those were quoted from Jimmy Carr's performance just last night on HBO-Comedy, as well.

"See, the government has already profiled us black people ... they even let us on planes early, now, which is nice. See, they already know what we'll do -- we'll rob you, we'll shoot you, we'll jack you, and we'll cut you -- but we will not blow you up. You have to be on time to f*** with bombs."

That was quoted from Bill Belamy's performance just last night, as well, on HBO-Comedy.

Now, for some quotes in World of Warcraft that I happened to jot down or take a screenshot of in a moment's notice. =P (Me, Jade, Me, Jade, Me, Jade.)

"I got in a fight with a guy in BG. ><>>;"
"Guess not."
"All of my clothing is dying."
"xD"
"xD"
"I imagine that to be something Chris would say."
"But more like -- "
"WFT MY CLOTHS R DIING!"

A discussion on trying to make it through the cave that links Felwood to Winterspring at too low of a level to attempt it properly. (Jade, Me, Jade, Me, Jade, Me, Jade.)

" .. Stealth?"
"Oh."
"xD"
"xD I thought you actually meant mountain."
"Stealth+Vanish+ Blind+Evasion+Sprint"
"My combo -- Strip Naked+Defensive Stance+Blood Rage+Retaliation+Die+Die+Die."
"xD!"

And Jade and I miscellaneously bashing Christian. =P (Me, Jade, Me, Jade, Jade, Me, Jade.)

"I can still sell it for 15 silver to a vendor!! xD"
"Ooohh."
"I'd be /rich/, man!"
"And you could buy it back for 1g 69 silver."
"xD"
"xD Now /that/ sounds like something Christian would do and say, 'That was an /awesome/ deal!'"
"xD"

Jaeden getting pissed off that I'm not co-operating with him in the Wetlands (and offering pretty whack advice). =P (Me, Jade, Jade, Me, Me, Jade, Jade.)

"xD I wish /I/ had a mount."
"I miss mine. ><;"
"And I never even named it."
"xDD" "Call it Sparky."
" .."
"I hate you."

At a much lower level, Jade and I heading through Rageclaw's Den to finish a quest of mine ... an interesting conversation arises. (Me, Jade, Me, Jade, Me, Jade, Me, Jade.)

"Why do you /always/ get to loot Rageclaw?!? xD"
"I'm black. xD"
"But I am, too! >>;"
"On the inside, maybe."
"And the outside, I just dyed it."
"It's because this character has boobies. o_O;;"
"I can't argue with that."
"xD!"

Another rendition of "Give Me A Name to Name My Gnome!". (Me, Jade, Me, Jade, Me, Jade, Me.)

"Smallspark!! xD"
" ... "
"Sparkresister!"
" ... "
"Thermaspark!"
"I think I'll kill you tonight."
"Sparky!"

And you can go here to see a small sample of what role-playing in the Caverns of Time was like. But, no, Blizzard -- you won't be able to figure out who we are so, no, you won't be able to bust us. I censored the names.

Take that!! xD

And, the funniest quote from Gaia in Kaiyan Akurian's profile --

Alex: you know samantha is sexy >_> ... Admit it
Jade: Good sir. Dare I ask, what the f*** are you smoking?

xD Well, I'm tired, finished, and ... well, tired. =P Peace out, peoples.

Did I Mention I Have a Semi-Retarded Brother?

Of course I don't. But, hey -- that attracted you here, no? Alrighty. First off ... for my birthday I basically got a nice Bass Guitar & Amplifier, along with an XBOX 360, Hitman - Blood Money, Burnout - Revenge, Perfect Dark Zero, & Full Auto. I probably posted half of that before but, y'know, I thought it would be cool to post it again.

Anyways ... now for something completely unrelated.





Yes, well ... Stewie's Sexy Party I found (at least on my part) to be f*cking hilarious (at least to those of you who watch Family Guy ... but, seriously -- ... who doesn't? xD) ... if you have an XBOX 360 and actually bother to read this, then look me up on XBOX Live ... the name's 'Shadow191'. I'm in the Underground zone with almost 400 for my Gamerscore (I believe).

And I enjoy long walks on the beach. =P

And, boy-oh-boy, I'd really appreciate any kind words or tips anybody could offer me on my upcoming video game that I'm working on ... and, hell, I may even open up a mailbag that I'll answer on here if enough people email me over it. I love to hear from people. If it's just a friendly 'hello', I'll send one right back ever-so-politely. If it's a question, I'll post it here. If it's well versed hate mail, I'll simply trash it. If it's not well versed, I'll post it up here for everyone to laugh at you over. So if I were you, I'd be careful what you wish for, because-- ...

... Santa Claus is coming to town. (but it's only June!!)

R&R - Rants and Rants -- Edition 2

Alright. Bottomline? I'm not prejudice. And I'm sick and tired of people saying I'm prejudice against black people. Common lines when a conversation goes bad? "Man, your ancestors were my ancestors' slaveholders!" And how would you f*cking know that? Did you rent a time machine and go back in time to watch a past version of me whip your ancestors across the back? I didn't think so. All I ask is you know what you're talking about before you start blabbing sh*t that you honestly have no clue whatsover about.

There were three different kinds of white folk back in the day. The slaveholders of the South, the slaveholders of the North, and the anti-slavery activists. How do know my family was for slavery? Mine could've been one of the people standing around in protest against it. Hell, my family's from Ohio (unfortunately ... I don't really like the place, personally) and during that period of time ... you guessed it, Ohio was with the Northern states.

And the whole discrimination thing where people believe my ancestors before, even then, were Nazis?!? Just because I'm white doesn't make instantly make me a f*cking Nazi, or even f*cking German. People who make the assumptions that I encourage racism, prejudice, and hatred couldn't be more wrong. I'm open-minded, and am equally for every race being treated the same. I don't even want to be associated with Nazis, and never said so. If I speak German to somebody and they reply back with, "Quit with the Nazi-speak!" me and my friends around me instantly have the assumption that they're ignorant and (possibly) retarded.

Now, before you contradict me and say "But, Reaper! I thought you said people who use 'retarded' in an insulting way are-- ..." But I'm not saying it in an insulting way. I don't say things that aren't true. If I believe they're retarded and so do my friends? That doesn't mean they belong in a Special Education class, it just means that they could've been dropped on their head as child or never been diagnosed with some sort of mental illness.

Either way, it's a win-win situation.

For me, at least.

--"Reaper"

R&R - Rants and Rants -- Edition 1

Welcome to the first session of R&R that I will attempt to incorporate in future posts ... this one will consist of my interpretation of the Catholic Church via The Da Vinci Code and Gay Pride. I'm not gay myself, but I have some friends who are, and I don't like the discrimination that modern day society is putting them through.

First off. Da Vinci. The Da Vinci Code, to be exact. Obviously, the movie is fiction. But most of the stuff is true / highly believable, despite what any of my Catholic friends say (Quote -- "It's pure blasphemy!"). Obviously the only reason they would be sticking up so strongly for their religion instead of letting the movie pass off as fiction is because some of the facts within the movie could possibly threaten to destroy the foundation of their churches and (*gasp*) even their entire religion? The world may never know, for Catholicism will continue on and Da Vinci box office tickets will continue to be sold.

I, personally, do believe that most of the movie is highly factual / loosely factual, based on the point of the story. Obviously Langdon and Neveu are not real life characters. Neither is Fache or the rest of the Interpol. But most of the story (Holy Grail being Mary Magdalene's womb ... Opus Dei ... the Priory of Sion ... et cetera) seems to make high sense. Hell, wouldn't you get pissed if your saviour (Jesus Christ) was beginning to have a different view, claiming that your immortal being of high holiness was being lowered to a mortal status, and even possibly carrying a bloodline? Yikes.

It's just a point of view. Stop trying to tell everyone the movie is fiction. People have brains so they can make up their minds for themselves. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but I've had enough religious bullsh*t to last me eternity. I honestly have nothing against any religion ... no matter Catholicism, Buddhism, Hinduism, even Paganism (witchcraft) ... I believe all are perfectly acceptable views. So stop trying to push your views (hence "convert") everyone else to your religion. If they happen to find ... let's say for the sake of argument, Buddhism a better religion than Christianity? That's perfectly fine. Stop criticizing them over it.

Amen.

And on to the so-called 'gay pride'. I happen to know a guy who is my mother's friend (or, for lack of a better term, 'co-worker') who is, lo-and-behold, gay. Is that a crime? No. And it pisses me off everytime somebody uses the term offensively. It doesn't offend me directly (seeing as how I am not gay) but offends me to the point that I think of him and it makes me want to strangle the person who said it. Wouldn't it make you want to hit the person if they were calling one of your friends retarded (in an offensive manner) and your friend was actually in Special Education? Boy, wouldn't you want to intervene.

But, most of the time, people stand idly by. They do nothing. All it takes for evil to occur is for good people to do absolutely nothing. (Thank you, Mrs. Rowley.)

And he's a good guy. So what he believes in Paganism? He sure as hell knows what incense to burn, what Bast statues to place where and why, and different 'potions' (though, I'm not going there) to brew to ward off certain illnesses / bad happenings. That makes him interesting. That's what makes all of us-- ... well, unique. Hell, I'm not a scientist and can't figure out whether you just develop a taste for the same sex or whether it's a chemical imbalance from birth. But is it wrong? No.

Some religions seem to think so, though. And I believe that, as well, is utter bullsh*t. People can do as they choose as long as they don't harm me, my friends, or my family. They should be able to pursue their own happiness, right? And if they can't, what has America --- and even the world --- come to?

Dedications to a New Year and a New Life

'Ehya, again, everyone. Yes, school graduation is finally tomorrow ... and my birthday's the day after that. How awesome, eh? I'm gonna be wearing a black suit jacket ... a white dress shirt ... black dress pants ... black dress shoes ... a red striped tie ... newly-fixed glasses ... and a clean & cut ... well, haircut (shocking to those of you who actually know me) ... yeah, this graduation's gonna be kickass.

xD

Well, I saw Jade post his dedications up on his Gaia journal yesterday, so it made me feel laggy and left-behind.

So, here I go.

*ahem*

Jaeden Braselton -- Yeah, man ... it's a been a rough & wild (though I can't say it hasn't been fun) ride all the way up the past 3 years. I remember the first few days we had just become friends that your hair was very, very long (ponytail to be exact) and, looking at it now, it could not really be much shorter unless you completely shaved your head. We've gone through some major changes, good and bad I suppose ... and you're definitely one of the best friends a guy could have-- ... but we'll get to continue our friendship next year, so what's with the long goodbyes, eh?

Quotes -- "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but you'll always be f*cking retarded."
"What did I do? Why is it always my fault!"

Predicted Quote of the Future -- "No, I did not murder and mutilate the hooker in my trunk, honest! ... how long will I be put away with this? At least let me keep my rap book! ... aw, man!! You're taking those, too? Damn it! ... that's not evidence! ... -- no, that blood's mine!"

Christian Thomas -- Mm ... only two years I've had to put up with you and your retarded antics, but, to tell you the truth, I've enjoyed every second of it. xD Even if I insulted you, even if we've pissed each other off beyond compare, I believe we've only done it because when you stop acting retarded things get boring ... and we don't know what each other's limits are, so we push it. It's always an accident, and we talk it out like big boys by the end, but you're also one of the best friends a guy could have. -nods- =P

Quotes -- "I completely owned a guy on XBOX Live for yelling 'n***er'.
"Nice comeback, now wipe it off your chin."

Predicted Quote of the Future -- "Wait, she was a guy?!? Aw, damn, I think I'm gonna be sick ... especially after all the things we ... OH MY GOD!"

Zheqi 'Larry' Tan - You've been a great friend I've had for a whopping 4 years. Yikes, that's been awhile. And, as expected, you've become successful just as predicted. Congratulations to your future endeavors, Larry. Sometime in the future you'll probably be able to get me a wonderful job somewhere if my plans don't turn out the way I'm hoping. So we'd better stay in touch ... and, no, it's not just to use you ... ... ... I think ... ... ... -ninja- xDD

Quotes -- "You're teh suxx0rz."
"For the win!!"

Predicted Quote of the Future -- "-- ... and there you have it -- the cure for cancer. Any questions?"

Aranya Lutz - Yes, yes ... cannot forget you ... although I'm not really leaving you and rather joining you once again ... oh, boy ... well, this is an awkward moment ... I don't really have anything to quote you because of the long absense in talking to each other ... and nothing from 3 years ago doesn't apply anymore. Well, I s'pose this was pointless. Sorry! ^^;;

Yes, I've suddenly grown lazy and may add some more later on. 'Love you all.

Peace out.

*thwak* It Wasn't Me!!

Sam: -runs over to hit me very hard-

And that's how most of the day went. Most of it. At least afterschool yesterday I was able to run over to EB and pick up Hitman 2: Silent Assassin for the PS2 and Hitman: Contracts for the XBOX, along with Robot Chicken: Season 1, the DVD Box Set from Target.

Oh, yeah. And they all pretty much kick total ass so far.

I already had Hitman: Codename 47 for the PC and I think that GameSpot should cut it a lil' slack -- that was awhile back, so the game wasn't quite up to par with modern day versions. The game had a very good premise and very good gameplay ... there were a few occasional glitches, but later patches ... well, patched (no pun intended) up the problems.

Robot Chicken, on the other hand, rocks completely. The show is awesome and can be seen on Cartoon Network's (channel 54, for me) [adult swim] block of programming later on into the night. Fated Souls, my Gaia role-play, is still moving along quite nicely ...

... aside from the odd fact that for my poll there only 7 cast members (including myself) ... but there are 8 votes. O.O;; Obviously, some people are poll whores even if the poll doesn't pertain to them whatsoever.

Ech, I'm back off to level more warrior in WoW to 18-and-beyond and play the next to levels Contracts.

Ola.

Christian's Albino Babies ...

Alright, I have a large rant for everyone right now. Christian, Larry -- feel free to use my facts against your parents if it helps you get even one step closer to Marina before it's too late to register. Christian, you ask me why I don't switch to Marina? Simple. In comparison, Seaside sucks compared to Marina. Look at it this way -- you have the International Bachelorean Program coming up that will make the school globally (note -- not locally, like Seaside) recognized, and we will be representatives of our school around the entire world. The first day Livermore has told us of a 'huge celebration'. Dunno what that's about, but some people won't be there to see it, eh?

The IB-Program is wonderful in itself, seeing as how that looks wonderful for colleges. Now I have to address Christian: you said that you prefer Seaside over Marina because of the sports? If you can't wait a damn year to go to an actual educationally focused school and get the surveys in to join back onto a sports team that you'll get to help create, then I dunno what the point would be. And, Larry, I'm assuming your problem is over the advanced Math that you're taking. At Marina, you could probably take Pre-Calculus at MPC over the summer and Calculus during the school year back at MPC all over again during the school year, scrapping your Math period for PE. You'll get to keep music, have all your regular classes, and still be taking an activity outside of school (what you'd have to do for PE if you aren't taking it zero-period or seventh-period).

And then, Christian, you claim you're being forced to go to Seaside, but you'd go to Marina if you could. Doesn't seem like it when you run around the school yelling, 'SEA-SIDE!"

>>;

So come on, guys. Get your act together. This is a new school we have all been waiting for over the past 7 years. And now that's here you're just gonna let it slip through? New technology, wonderful education-- ... we'd be pioneers, yet you refuse to do some convincing?

To shame.

Well ... I'm all outta steam. I'll post some actual relevant stuff later that applies to people who actually don't know me.

>.<

Many Men Wish Death Upon Me ...

Today was funny, stupid, fun again, and then touching.

Allow me to explain.

Mr. Wright (our music teacher) made a kid cry second period today. I know, it doesn't sound like a funny thing. But the timing and context? You'd've had to've been there to've understood it. Anywho, here we go:

Mr. Wright: -tosses baton at stand- -yelling- Gabriel? Do you want to suck at the concert? -gets up and walks over to him- -uses his pen from his pocket to tap Gabriel's bow- UP BOW! NOT DOWN BOW! -pockets pen and walks back to his chair-
Gabriel: Don't touch my bow.
Mr. Wright: Well, I wouldn't have to if you're doing what you're supposed to. -exasperated breath- Measure 68. One, two ... -sighs- -yells again- ... GABRIEL! GET YOUR ELBOW OFF YOUR KNEE, BONEHEAD! ... AND GET YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND, DON'T HAVE THEM ON YOUR CHAIR-- ..."
Gabriel: -on verge of tears- F*ck this, I quit. -begins to put violin in case-
Mr. Wright: Fine. -taps baton on stand as if nothing happened- Alright, Measure 68. One, two, three & ...
-plays as Gabriel leaves the room and walks up to the office-

xD Alright. And then the stupid. I was in line and our idiotic counseler, Mr. Cortez, randomly pulled some people out of the lunchline to send to the back.

Me: -standing there-
Jade: -in front of me- -Zack bumps into him- Dude, what're you doing
Zack: Sorry ... -scoots back-
Cortez: -walks over- Alright. I've had enough. From you ... -points to Jaeden- ... to you ... -points to Christian, right behind me- ... I'm giving you 5 minutes to get to the back of the line. I don't want to hear excuses. Just go.

Oh, we left alright. After cursing him out as we passed him. >>; The fun portion was that I got to skip PE again for Music.

Hoo-rah.

And then the touching moment was that afterschool I stopped back by Ione Olson, my old Elementary School to meet my old 1st grade teacher whose name (ironically) is Mrs. Glenn. We chatted it up for awhile, blah-blah-blah, nothin' you're interested in ...

... and-- ...

... ---disconnection--- ... xDD

TAPS -- That's About [As] Pointless As ...

Me: "I was getting so f*cking pissed off at Whitson today during PE. She forgot to put my name on her list for any court of basketball, so she wanted me to fill in for any absent person she could find. There were 4 half-courts and 2 full-courts. I got assigned to a, you guessed it; half-court, with 3 other 7th/6th graders."
Larry: "Who?"
Me: "Steven, the Special Ed. 7th grader, Brian, the sixth grader, and Isiah, some new kid who's in some grade. -waves hand- I dunno-- ... it's not important, anyways ..."
Larry: "Okayyy ..."
Me: "Anyway ... alright, so everytime I would score a basket? Her head was turned. Everytime she looked my way I was standing idly at the side, waiting for the ball. The other 3/4 of the time, the three of them had the ball and were standing behind the basketball pole talking about some sh*t that wasn't relevant at all. I watched her as she marked our 'F's for the day on her clipboard. Everytime she did look and I had the ball? I missed the shot ..."
Larry: "But you were still dressed out! And participating!"
Me: "I know, but missing 200 shots during the 45 minute period doesn't leave much of an impression ..."
Larry: "True."
Me: "... --so, ... I ended up having the ball at the end and passed her to put it in the gym cart, right? As I walk by, she calls my name. I almost wince, turning around to her. Then she comes out with, 'Next time I'll look at placing you in a more productive team. By the looks of it, it seems that you would've done something had you had the opportunity to work with a functional team.' I nodded with a smile, put the ball in the basket, and ran off to the locker room to change, again. -- ... but in the end, it was all good."
Larry: "-shocked- What the hell? That was absolutely freakin' pointless. If it's 'all good' by the end, what was the point in telling me all of that?"
Me: "-laughing- I dunno ..."
Larry: "Look, ... that's about the same as you telling me that you were walking along and you got arrested for something you didn't do. The cops throw you in jail, but 10 hours later they come to your cell, unlock your door and tell you your crime was that you stole a balloon. But it was a mistake on their part because they forgot today was 'National Free Balloon Day' ... 'so it was all good in the end' ..."
Me: "-still laughing- ..."

... and then ...

Timmy: "Can I get $2 from either of you guys?"
Me: "Do you have a 5, Larry?"
Larry: "Yeah."
Me: "-gets out wallet- I'll give you 5 ones and you can give me the five so you can give two of the ones to Timmy."
Timmy: "What the f*ck? Why don't you just give the money?"
Me: "Because then I won't be the one to give you money; it'll be Larry who's losing out."

... shortly after the transaction, whilst Larry and I wait outside Jack in the Box for Timmy to return ...

Me: "So why are we waiting?"
Larry: "I dunno ... it's not like he's magically gonna pay me back right now."
Me: "How do you know?"
Larry: "Look, he went in with my money. Where is he gonna get the money to pay me back right now? He's not ... well, it's not like he's going to summon some magical rainbow and run along it to the end where he'll find a pot of gold, A.K.A. his 'bank account', within the time period he runs inside and back out."
Me: "True, true."

... and, also ...

-in San Filippo's class-
Daniel: "Alright ... -enthusiastic, hearing the office called for him- ..."
-heads for the door, San Filippo's back turned to him-
-blows a kiss to the class, waves, ducks out, ducks back in, and flips off San Filippo, jogging out the door-
-class starts to laugh-
San Filippo: -wheels around- What's so funny? -serious-

xDD

And, in other news ...

• Here's the link to Shadow's, Maine's, and Kaiser's profiles to our role-play, Fated Souls on Gaia. Check them out, and make sure to thank Maricia for them. ;-)
• I'll be uploading a video of me getting stuck and lagging on a Wind Rider (Horde) on WoW to YouTube sometime soon. Be on the lookout. I'll post it here as soon as. xDD

Peace out.

YCS - You Can't Spell

Me: Wonderful. Now I have to explain to her why you were acting like a jackass on her comment page!
Luke: Why would you tell her I'm a jackass? I was just ... slow!
Me: Alright. Dumbass then. We'll combine what we both said: 'slow' is dumb, and 'ass' is ass.
Luke: C'mon ... I don't want to get into an on-line argument.
Me: Oh, it wouldn't be much of an argument. You'd say something and I'd say something to completely own you. You can't beat that.
Luke: Bitch.
Me: *pft* I'm not offended by that. You probably can't spell it, anyway.
Luke: Damn it!

xD I found that funny afterschool today.

Sa-thoo-la-hoo! xD

Everything You Wanted To Know About Chuck Norris ...

I have more than these, and a lot more to say, but for now, heed these wise words of wisdom:

"Chuck Norris doesn't go hunting, he goes killing. Hunting leaves a chance of survival."

... and, the ever-popular ...

"Chuck Norris doesn't consider it sex if the woman is still alive."

... including ...

"Chuck Norris doesn't breathe; he orders the air in and out, and it complies."

Wrong, I know, but I fear it's true. Or so the General chat in WoW says so. =P

... and they wouldn't lie, would they? xD

Note: While you're at it, check out the movie "Sidekicks" because ... you guessed it ... it's a Chuck Norris movie! -gasp-

xDD
