Vidya Gaymes

For those of you that don't know, I am spending the summer in Seattle working for the Army Corps of Engineers. Yes, Yes, I know I am a big deal, but I have learned to accept it. Maybe you should too. I have been having lots of adventures both at work and at play and meeting many strange and interesting people and seeing fantastic things. I could write a little something about that, but since summer isn't over yet, I am going to wait on that and instead give you what I have got here. Plus, when it comes to stories about my various escapades around here, I would much rather talk about in person. I still feel the need to write, but I don't fee like trying to be serious or smart or try to put my experiences here into words or anything like that, so I have decided to make another of these little lists. I have been reading this humor writing website a lot lately (www.cracked.com) and a lot of their pieces have the title "The Top 10 Blankiest Blank" or something to that effect. This kind of makes me want to do one too. And since I am a fan of rambling on and on, I am not going to tie myself down with a solid number, I am just going to go until I feel like stopping.

I recently read someone else’s blog about their favorite video games of all time. One thing you should know about me, I am a gamer. Maybe not so much now than I used to be, but I can still appreciate a good play through a great game. As my brother said a couple days ago, we as humans need that competition with each other. Since I lack the coordination to actually provide competition at most sports, and the low IQ to get anything out of watching other people play sports (Ba-Zing, just kidding), I like to play video games. It is a nice break from the real world because you are in control but you can do things you normally can not do in real life. That being said, you won't find sports games on this list, or any simulation games for that matter. I think that last sports game I liked playing for extended periods of time was NBA Jam back when I was a little kid. Some people just don't understand video games, this post is not for you, but if you are bored or interested, by all means, please continue.

The criteria for making this list are pretty loose. Some of them are newer games that have recently came out, although I do not have a lot of exposure to the newer consoles (Wii, PS3, Xbox 360), although a few of those games will make the list. What you will find on here are a lot of RPG's (That means Role Playing Game you R-Tard) and adventure games. I really like a game that can suck you in with a great story, like a movie, except you can control what goes on, and for some of them control how the story plays out. Also, I have always been pro Nintendo and therefore have never had a Playstation, few of those games will make it on here, although a lot of them would have a place on here if I ever get the opportunity to experience them. But basically if I liked the game at one point and still sometimes feel the desire to play it again or have played it so much I know it front and back, or maybe I just really liked it at the time. There will be some sequels to games on here as well. I will put them on if I enjoyed them more than the first. I realize that the first on introduced the franchise and it deserves some credit, but if I like the second or third one better, that is just the way it is. As always, I welcome any comments or suggestions on anything you feel is missing from this list, or if you want to call me a giant dweebo or whatever you can be my guest, it had been awhile since I have told anyone to “fuck off” so it might be fun to get another opportunity. Also, these games are in no particular order, although the ones that are higher on the list, I thought up first, so that should tell you something, but generally the order is random, much like the way my mind works.

Final Fantasy VII (PC)
I can safely say this is one of my all time favorite games. Everything about it was implemented perfectly. Some people may not like all of the character designs, they are pretty blocky and cartoony, but they fit well for some reason. Plus they look really good when in combat. The story is top notch; it has lots of layers and twists, with lots of interesting characters and backgrounds for each character. I believe this game defined what a 3-D RPG should be like.
You are a mercenary hired by a rebel group trying to take down a evil corporation whose reactors are draining the world of its life force, polluting its environment, and keeping the citizens under its foot by controlling the price of the electricity they produce. This is only the beginning and eventually a new, worse villain rears his head and threatens the world more than the corporation possibly can. But I digress, for any fan of role playing games, this is a must play.

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion (Xbox 360/PC)
This has to be one of the nerdiest games I have ever gotten into. Besides maybe it's predecessor Morrowind. This is a role-playing game that is probably one of the biggest I have ever played. You can pick the class, skills, race, and even the appearance of your character, down to the structure of their cheek bones. Once you have started, Captain Picard tells you about some sort of evil threatening the land... Hell on Earth, pretty standard adventure game stuff. The story is good but kind of inconsequential. Once that gets going you are able to walk around this world and pretty much do anything you want, plus the graphics are very good so with a huge world full of good scenery and plus another dimension called Oblivion, which is basically like hell that has its own architecture and vibe. It makes me feel all free and able to ride on horseback through a flowery meadow.... or something like that.

Super Mario World (Super Nintendo)
The previous Mario games are good, but this one is my favorite, in the 2-d world anyway. It brings everything that was good about the games for regular Nintendo and makes it better with more colorful worlds and characters. This is one of those old games I don't mind picking up and playing again just for shits sometimes. There are so many secret worlds and special levels that can keep you busy for a long time. This is truly a game for the ages.

Ninja Gaiden Black (Xbox)
Pronounced Gi - Den. This game is one of the greatest action games I have ever played. The graphics are great and the fights are intense and deep. You get to control several ninja weapons each with its own strengths while fighting monsters and people with guns while saving the world and a girl with large breasts and an even larger hammer from an ancient evil. There is no part of that last sentence I did not like. The game also features many unlockable costumes and challenges that will have you pulling your hair out long after you finish the main game. The difficulty of this game is also one of the high points. It is hard enough to give you a challenge, but it is still possible... if you have the stones necessary to keep going with it.

The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time (Nintendo 64)
I thought the previous 2-D Zelda games were fun, but this one really blew my mind when it came out. It brought a timeless adventure into the third dimension perfectly while still keeping the secrets and spooky dungeons found in the previous games intact. I really did get lost in this game when it first came out. You can travel through time in between a kid and a young adult in order to solve puzzles and eventually save the princess... again. It is an old story but they make it seem fresh every time.

Earthbound (Super Nintendo)
Man, what can I say about this game? The graphics for this role-playing game weren't all that great, even for the time it came out. But do they ever make up for it. The story is great and it is full of a strange kind of humor that I just don't see in other games. One of your main enemies throughout the game is your fat, annoying neighbor, I just find that hilarious for some reason.
It starts out with you, a kid, sleeping and being woken up by a meteor smashing outside your house. Then strange things start happening, monsters begin appearing and animals start acting all crazy and attacking everybody... and mushrooms start walking around. Of course throughout the game you get homesick and may have to call your mom and say hi or maybe call your dad and ask for some money. It is a long game and I can remember from when I was a kid, I got strep throat a few times and I would be out of commission for a few days, I would rent this game and it would keep me occupied until I got better.

Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem (Gamecube)
One of the more trippy/spooky games I have played. You start the game as a woman investigating the decapitation of your grandfather. Then you begin to find the history of what is going on, and you play through the history from about 2000 years ago to today of a great evil that has been working all that time to be released upon the world. As you play though the game your character sees some strange stuff, zombies, monsters, creatures bursting out of people’s bodies, etc... Seeing this affects your sanity and if you lose too much of it your character begins to hallucinate, they see blood dripping from the walls, their arms start falling off, or they are surrounded by bad guys with no weapons. The game also breaks the fourth wall on occasion when your sanity is low. It shows bugs crawling across the screen, or it will turn the volume all the way down, or it will make it look like you just deleted all of your saved data. The Blue Screen of Death also makes an appearance.

Grand Theft Auto 3 (Playstation 2)
This game really revolutionized gaming I think. It took an old game that select moms and congressman thought was evil and turned it into a 3-D world where you could do pretty much anything. Effectively making every parent and priest and government official scared of it. Of course, some morons went and did stupid stuff and then got caught and tried to blame it on the game. Take a car from anyone and drive it off a cliff. Or maybe just run around committing random acts of violence or worse. That kind of freedom makes me go a big rubbery one. I have got a chance to play a bit of the newest installation, Grand Theft Auto 4, while that is a stellar game that has amazing graphics and terrific physics, it just doesn't really wow me like GTA 3 did in its time.

Resident Evil 4 (Gamecube)
This was a new entry into an old classic franchise. And I must say that it blew me away. There are no more zombies, and instead of an American city, you are in a European city and the villain looks like some sort of tiny soldier from the Revolutionary War. It brings an improved control scheme and an old favorite character back. A great play if you are looking for a weird, spooky game to play through. There is even some propaganda in there to piss off all you right wing types.

Fallout 2 (PC)
This game takes place in southern California after a nuclear war over the worlds last known oil reserves with China. Society has crumbled and radioactive mutants roam the land. You are sent out by your dying village to find a Garden of Eden Creation Kit in order to save it. As you wander around the wasteland you encounter many good and bad people, who you can choose to help or harm. The game has a very strange sense of humor, lots of swearing and violence, and the animations look like they were taken from a "duck and cover" movie from the fifties, which I find hilarious. Also the intro has a song by Louis Armstrong

Half Life 2 (Xbox)
This is probably one of my favorite first person shooters ever. The graphics are amazing, the story is epic and pays homage to a lot of classic sci-fi movies, and the enemies are smart. This game also introduces the gravity gun, which is a weapon that allows you to pick up objects like paint cans, saws, or lawn gnomes and hurl them at enemies or really anything that tickles your fancy. One of my favorite parts is towards the end of the game when the gravity guns starts wigging out and becomes super powerful, allowing you to pick up people and throw them around. If you like first person shooters, you gotta check this one out.

Space Quest 2: Vohaul’s Revenge (PC)
This is an old game, where you control a man and you can type things for him to do into the keyboard, such as: "Look around" "pick up the gem" or "get fucked" or whatever you want. The story is that you are a janitor on a space station who gets kidnapped by aliens who then crash land on a strange world. You must escape this world and stop your nemesis Sludge Vohaul before he releases his army of insurance salesman on an unsuspecting universe, which will surely cause its destruction.

Conker’s Bad Fur Day (Nintendo 64)
This is probably the funniest game I have played. You play a squirrel that gets too drunk one night, and wakes up hungover and not knowing where he is. Your task is to help him find his way home while collecting all the money and causing all the shenanigans you can. It is a cartoon world that looks like it is for kids, but it is a very adult game. Most of the inanimate objects you see in real life are alive in this game and have their own personalities... most of them negative. Hey if you were a paintbrush living a barn, wouldn't you get bored and help the can of paint convince the pitchfork to hang himself from the rafters even though it hasn't got a neck? The money you collect tells you to "Pick me up, ya greedy bastard", or a cog tells you to "Fuck off" repeatedly. Also you can get drunk at times and pee on your enemies. Like I said it is a game for “mature” audiences who can handle this sort of stuff.

Banjo-Kazooie (Nintendo 64)
Here you take control of a banjo playing bear named Banjo and his best friend that lives in his backpack named Kazooie, who strangely enough, plays the kazoo... who thinks this stuff up? Anyway your sister gets kidnapped or something by a witch and you have to rescue her by going through a bunch of differently themed levels and collect puzzle pieces in order to find her. It sound strange and kiddie and it is, but dammit, it is fun. You get transformed into several different creatures throughout the game and the level design is great. My favorite level was one in a forest that had a giant tree with a bunch of woodland creatures living by it. The cool thing about this was that you could play the level in the four different seasons, each with its own puzzles and behaviors for the various forest critters. For example, you couldn't talk to the beaver during winter because he was hibernating. Anyhow, it was a fun game and had some pretty stellar graphics for its time, plus a neat musical intro with a banjo and a kazoo.

Goldeneye: 007 (Nintendo 64)
This game really defined first person shooters to this day. The single player game was fun to play through and featured many different locations and scenarios to play though, but the real fun was the multiplayer that came with the game. Even today I can still have fun playing this mode with my roommate and any other poor sucker she brings over who wants to be dominated by yours truly. You can even be Oddjob and it won't matter, so long as I get to be Boris.

Lemmings (PC)
A great puzzle game. In this game you take control of some sort of God or sadistic motherfucker, I am never sure which, and guide Lemmings through various stages giving them various occupations to perform. The lemmings don't seem too smart and just walk in the same direction until acted on by some kind of outside force. This means they will walk right off a cliff or into an incinerator or whatever else the game puts there to kill them. It is a fun game that has a lot of tricky puzzles to solve and has occupied a good amount of my childhood playing it on an old Mac.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (Xbox)
Yet another role-playing game. Damn I am kind of a nerd when it comes to this. Oh well, at least I get a piece (not really). This game takes place around 4000 years before the original trilogy and you take the role of a Jedi who must save the galaxy from some major asshole that seems so common in this galaxy from a long time ago that is far, far away. The fun part is that throughout the game you can make choices that determine your path to the light side or the dark side of the force. As you fall to the dark side or walk on the light side, your appearance changes to reflect that. For example, when you get evil you get all pale and veiny and your eyes turn yellow. The story is top notch as well; with a twist that rivals that whole "Luke, I am your father" bit. Plus you get a Wookie side-kick.

Earthworm Jim (Super Nintendo)
One of the first truly funny games I have played. You play a worm who finds a power suit from outer space that makes him an action hero, forcing you to battle your way through junkyards and several other videogame cliches in order to rescue some chick or something like that from a cat named Eek! the Cat... I think, I am going from memory here. The game play was good enough, but the turn on for me was the humor and the squishy sound effects. I cannot stress enough just how much I like games that don't take themselves too seriously and can just be funny for the sake of being funny.

Super Mario All-Stars (Super Nintendo)
I got this game with my Super Nintendo. It has Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, and 3, along with some bonus levels and updated graphics and sounds, 'nuff said.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 (Nintendo)
This game was one of my favorites because it had the turtles in it of course. Shredder took the city of Manhattan hostage, but more importantly, he kidnapped April, what a dick. Anyway, you could play by yourself or with a friend as any of the four turtles through many different stages fighting all of your favorite baddies along the way. Each turtle also had their own special attacks and strengths that made them awesome. My favorite one to play with was Michaelangelo of course.

Armada (PC)
An old Ass strategy game. You took control of a race of beings and set about colonizing all of the stars around your home planet. Then you would build up a fleet of ships and go and conquer the rest of the galaxy either enslaving or exterminating the other races that stood before you. Or if you were feeling especially heinous, you could drop a neutron bomb on their planet and blow the whole fucker up. The research allowed you to advance the science of your civilization in order to find better ways to kill and/or conquer your opponent, just like real life.

DOOM II (PC)
This was an old shooter I got for Christmas and was one of the most violent games I had played back then. You control a marine who must battle the demons of Hell that have broken loose on Earth. It is a good thing my dad didn't know how gruesome this game was or else he would not have bought it for me. The weapons were cool and the monsters and their eventual deaths were hideous and scary. A great thing to keep a 12 year old occupied. You might think this may have been damaging to me, and you may be right, but I don't think so. Try spending a day around my house on chicken butchering day and see what you think then. With 30 some levels it was also a very long game. Also about half way through the game I found a secret portal that I am not sure I had found, but it took me to this game from the same developer called Castle Wolfenstein, which was about killing Nazis. You ran around killing Nazis and then the demons from the Doom game you were in began to show up and try to kill the Nazis and you as well. At least demons are equal opportunity killers.

Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (Super Nintendo)
This game took one of my favorite genres of games (RPG) and put in the Mario universe with all the old favorite friends and baddies. The story starts out with you as Mario going to rescue the Princess from the king of the Koopas, Bowser, yet again, but something goes horrible wrong and a new enemy surfaces that is worse than Bowser. As you make your way through the various worlds, you make new friends as well as some old ones. You even team up with Bowser later on. This really was a great game that had a great story but still retained all the fun, humor and great gameplay we have come to expect from Mario games.

Oregon Trail (PC)
This might be considered a simulation game, but it is still great. You and a few of your friends could pick an occupation and buy supplies and then take off across the country in wagons in hopes of reaching the Promised Land. If you were tough enough to endure the hardships along the way, and you were a good enough hunter. And if you didn't have someone named Courtney traveling with you who would stop to rest for a week if she caught a cold, you would make it to Oregon and live a life of freedom and tolerance, or whatever reason you went over there for.

River City Ransom (Nintendo)
This game was a fighter where you and a friend took control of two dudes whose girlfriends were kidnapped. The boys must rescue them so they can go and finish their shopping. You have to fight your way through the mean streets of River City. This doesn't seem like a very good place to live since pretty much every street is infested with gangs who want to kick your ass for no reason. But you could steal their money and weapons once you beat them up, allowing you to buy powerups from some local shopkeepers where they service was good and smiles were always free. One of the funny parts was when you beat a guy up; they would yell something as they vanished... My favorite was "BARF!!" Apparently you could beat someone bad enough to make them vomit loudly. Ah those were simpler and happier times.

X-COM: UFO Defense (PC)
I like this game because you must defend Earth from alien invasion by setting up bases around the globe and then going out and attacking the various UFO's then killing or capturing the aliens and taking them back to study them and their technology. Then learning their weaknesses and then using their own technology against them. This was a strategy game where every move you made affected the outcome of the battle, plus it had a pretty cool sci-fi story and lots of cool pictures of aliens and spaceships and whatnot.

Wii Sports (Wii)
You can always count on Nintendo to put game play before anything else. In the world full of hi def hoopla, Nintendo released the Wii, with a weaker graphics processor than the competition, but with the stellar controller, this put game play before graphics and it really paid off for them. The first game to show off the new controller, which was also included with the console, which is unheard of these days, was Wii Sports. This let you try your hand at around five sports and you would actually move instead of just sitting there pushing buttons. My favorite is boxing, probably followed by bowling, since you can make into a drinking game. Ok so I guess there was a sports game on here. Oh well.
Well that is it.... God damn I am a nerd.
Peace out

I put this up because it made me laugh, plus I haven't put anything up here lately, but I don't really think anyone reads this thing so it doesn't really make a difference. I think if you watch CSI, or any show like it for that matter, it will at least make you chuckle. They always have to say something really outrageous before the opening credits play and this comic.
Still in Seattle for a few more weeks... perhaps I would like a visitor.

Padre Juan

My last day of pizza delivery was on Sunday. After doing it for nearly three years I found it to be somewhat of an anticlimactic day. I expected to feel some kind of feelings as I walked out the door for what could be the last time, but I just felt the same urge to leave as any other Sunday working there. I am considering going back, but I am not sure, they are respectful of my busy school schedule, but on the other hand it is slowly destroying my car. Not to mention the soaring cost of gasoline. We are starting to become even with the rest of the world, as far as gas prices go anyway. What the hell are we accomplishing in Iraq anyway? I thought this was why we went there in the first place.
So I am moving to Seattle for the summer for a engineering internship type thing. I was Googling my route today and one possible route takes me around Glacier National Park. That is the halfway point of my drive about, so I am considering spending the night there, maybe even camping. From the pics I have seen in National Geo. lately, I don't think I will have much more time to see Glacier National Park. I wonder what it will be called once the glaciers recede all the way. Just National Park? Sasquatch is still at large out there so maybe Sasafrass National Park. I sure hope Sass doesn't get randy the night I am there and decide to have his way with me.
On that note I am gonna cut this one off,

What?

I found one of those plastic ring six pack can holders on the ground today. I didn't even know those were still made, and I also thought people would have some brains to not throw them away having seen all the pictures of birds and shit caught in these rings. But I guess I give people too much credit. I also reminds me of the people I see in school who throw their plastic bottles away with a loud, almost deliberate thud in the garbage when the recycling bin is not two feet away. It seems to me like they do it just to spite people that actually give a shit about the future of this planet, that is quickly running out of room for all our shit. Just needed to get that out, have a great night!

Bitches

OK, here goes. I am going to let my dear readers in on a little secret. Some of you may know this already about me, but for those of you that don't, be prepared not for something shocking, I guess just be prepared to know something else about me. But something I have realized about myself increasingly in the past couple years. I really do love women, and before you start snickering, let me tell you I have always sought out relationships of the romantic sorts with women and have never really considered the alternative... just not my thing. When I see the body of a girl I am attracted to, I see curves, and other goodness I probably don't need to get into now. Guys are just guys, kind of like Christmas tree with only one ornament, if you need a visual.
Anyway, enough of that. What I am talking about is the friendships I have developed with the fairer sex over the years. Now I know a lot of you guys out there have friends that are girls, but it seems to me you depend more on your friends of the same sex. I am not trying to preach or try to tell you how you live your lives. As always I am just saying what I see.
It is not that I am saying I don't like my guy friends, because I have a lot of valuable male friends. It is just that I feel I can say more to my lady friends. I can connect on more levels with women than I can with men. For example, when I am telling a story (I like telling stories), girls seem to focus on the story as it happened; rather than guys who seem to focus on what they think should have happened (how I should have touched her butt, or they suggest what they would have done). As you know I am not trying to say this is the case with everyone I know… I am just generalizing because I like to; there are always exceptions to rules.

I think that there are several reasons for this, some which may be discovered by my therapist years from now… But I think that the main one that comes to my mind comes from when I was a little kid. I grew up in the same house without ever really moving around to a new house, and since it was out in the country, I didn’t have a lot of neighbors my age. There was one however that was close by. This neighbor happened to be a lady by the name of Courtney O. Perhaps you have heard of her, she is only the best cowgirl in the tri-state area. So don’t try to impress her with your belt buckle, believe me, I have tried. Anyway, she lived right across the bridge and we were always hanging out together playing little pretend kiddy games. The favorite was “Be Anything You Wanna Be.” I am not sure if you have ever played it but it can go on forever.

Well years went on and I always found it easy to be friends with girls. It got a little awkward once I started going through that weird teenage time when things begin growing and descending, but I got over it eventually and once I got a little older and my hormones leveled out I was ready to continue the friendships.

So I think that is about all I wanted to get out in this little spiel. For my girly friends reading this, I hope you realize that this is a joke title. I just thought it would be funny. I am not saying bitches in a derogatory sense, it is more like when you walk into a party and people start cheering… you almost have to yell “What’s up bitches!?” That is getting off the subject, it is just the fact that I think I am hilarious and that title is just an example of that fact.

For the guys reading this, I hope you can understand what I am talking about. This goes double for the boyfriends; sometimes they can get the wrong idea about what I am about. But I do assure you I am too boring to do anything bad like that. Plus I am usually friends with them as well and I am not a jackass and don’t do things like that.

So to close out this little piece I would like to give some of the favorite women in my life a little shout out, so to speak. I will make a list and say a little bit about why they are important to me. I think listing them in chronological order of me meeting them is the best way to do it (Note: I met the third, fourth and fifth at pretty much the same time so I listed them alphabetically.) Also, I only included girls on this list I have had any recent dealings and meetings with, if you are upset that I am leaving you out, which I sure I am leaving some of you out, you should maybe try to get a hold of me more and stop depending on me to do it and you may just get yourself up on the list.

---Seth

Laureen: Who’s got the greatest mom in the world? I dooo. My mom is number one in my heart; it’s truuuue. My mom’s the best mom, better than your mom, let’s sing it together in harmonyyy. A little reference from a show I like there, but seriously, I think my mom is one of the greatest women in my life. She came from a great family and she raised three kick ass boys to think for themselves and not be taken in by other peoples shit.

Courtney: Well, I know you wanted a shout-out, and it sort of turned into this little thing here, so thanks for that I guess. I have known you all my life and now I think we have come around full circle what with the roommates in another city. It seems to be working out well.


Erin: Oh Erin, you are a great woman, we had a decent relationship in grade and high school, but I think we really connected afterwards. We are both geniuses and we have some more stuff in common.

Jenny: Ah, I miss you Jenny, ever since you moved to Kapmando (heh) GF hasn’t been the same without you here. We didn’t talk to much in high school, but I remember that first night I was ever in GF. The rest of my family was at the bar so I began to wander around campus looking for something interesting, and I have to say you were the last person I expected to run into, but I did and you took me out for a night. The months and years that followed I am pretty sure I learned you were one of my favorite people ever. I think the P Roach concert is what sealed the deal for me.

Susan: Susan, Susan, Susan, my longhaired friend, I don’t know why but we party so well together and out of everyone from back home, I probably miss you the most. Plus you sometimes actually come to see me too. So I think it is your turn to come to GF so we can party and perhaps get some Rhombus pizza.

Alisha: How could I forget about my lady neighbor on the other side? I didn't so that was a pointless question. I am glad you decided to come to GF to hang with me, I didn't really know what to think at first to see you in this different atmosphere out of the Projects, but I really enjoy having you around here and look forward to more days of bugging you at the student union to come.

Amanda: I have known and been good friends with you for quite some time. You have always been there with an open ear for me and sometimes that is all I needed. We may not really see each much now for some reasons or others, but I still miss you and still value our friendship.

Ellie: When I met you I could tell we had a lot in common, but once we started hanging out I found out just how much so. I find that if I have some sort of gripe about people or society I can always bring it to you and even if you don’t agree with it (you usually do it seems) you will at least understand and have some words to calm me down.

Heather: I am not sure if engineering school would be the same without you. I always enjoy seeing you in the halls and study rooms. One of my favorite things to do is to lock you into a conversation about something unimportant while you slowly become late for class. I also really enjoy hanging out with you outside of school as well, I haven’t really been seeing you outside much lately, I am sure there are reasons, also a few theories about why that my mind has come up with, but I think those are not to be discussed here. They are best discussed over Caesars and a cracker pizza at the Frog.

Whitney: I guess I have known you for less than two years but I really enjoy your company. A good night is usually had partying with you and RB. I think we really bonded that night of your 21st birthday… bars are fun.

KELLY: I tried to save the baby, but I let you down babe.

King James


I am not sure exactly what is going on in this picture here, but I saw that someone put this King Kong pic next to it and I am seeing some striking similarities here, and I feel the need to share it with those of you that come to this little website.

So are the good people at Vogue comparing LeBron to King Kong? Maybe they are a little racist and they feel that black guys are going after poor defenseless white women... much in the same way a giant gorilla would go after them.

That might not be the case since Gisele doesn't look to frightened about that fact there is a large screaming gor *cough* black guy next to her. Although the power of his voice seems to be blowing her hair back and pushing her dress against her body in a very aesthetically pleasing way. Thats it, just a little query for the day.

Here it is

Well, below lies all my Facebook junk. I did read through most of them again when I put them up here. I added some things where I think I needed to, be it to make them more offensive, to make my point a little better, fix typos, or just to make the words flow a little better. So I think you should read through them if you ever have some time. I bet it would take about 45 minutes to an hour to get through them all. Hell, it might take you a shorter amount of time... since you seem to think you are so smart.


But from now on I guess it will be all original updates. I haven't really figured out how often I will be updating, it is a pretty busy time of year for me. But check back on me from time to time, I'm sure you will find something to stimulate both your left and right brain.
