I hate you...

Woe...oh woe is me...

Suzie lied to me like the lying liar that she is. She took advantage of my blind, irrational phone-faith.

This means war, V.

Them's the Rules...

2005-08-10T20:28:21Z

1. Reply with your name and I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you in.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I'll tell you my first memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal.

Do it. I dare you.

BOOM! HEADSHOT!

Just watch the clip of the FPS Doug episode. It's beautiful.

I got some money and a tasty cake for birthday number 21. I was told the money had to be used for something fun, so right now I'm kind of torn...it's been between a playstation 2 and a classical guitar (nylon strings feel so perdy) that would hopefully be acoustic electric. Input? Any new nominations?

I'm pretty sure what I want to do with my life now. I'd like to be a TV personality for either g4tv or ESPN...or anything, or I'd like to be a rock star of some sort, or a type of psychologist, or something....

Ok, well, one thing I am sure about is the Nightwish CD "Once" is completely fucking awesome. They have a full orchestra behind them (not just some synth with violin and chorus effects). The guitar work is pretty simple, but it just sounds so damn good when it all comes together. This is without a doubt the best power-fantasy-chick metal I've heard. Lacuna Coil, you suck. Arch Enemy, you kind of scare me. Nightwish, welcome to the top of the hill. If you've got money to spare, and enjoy occasional metal (and I don't mean the cookie-monster growling type), then I highly recommend this CD. It almost makes up for the horribly subpar Atreyu and Avenged Sevenfold CDs I bought. Almost....

I also got a pretty good hardcore compilation CD. Why is it pretty good, you ask? Well, it has at least 4 decent songs on it, and it only cost me FOUR DOLLARS! Hot Topic proves itself useful.

Well, I'm tired of being awake.

In approximately 24 hours...

2005-06-30T23:00:31Z

I will be nearing the Boston airport. Finally.

Work has been decent. Guitar has been decent. Weather has been decent. Ipswich will be badass...and boss...and wicked radical...and so forth.

I have the citizens' support to march on Rome. Now to find the right time...

2005-05-18T03:56:04Z

Egypt is being pushed inland, and Britain isn't big enough to be a real threat. The empire grows...yay.

I saw Kung Fu Hustle a couple days ago, and it was really damn good. Though, I think it was better when I saw Zatoichi alone. On account of that being a more serious movie, it was better not to see it with loud, joking-friends. Kung Fu Hustle, though, is a group movie. If anyone has not seen it yet, I recommend fixing that, and seeing it as soon as possible. At points it was live cartoons brought to live-action. At other points, it was really badass fighting. A very good all-around movie. This along with Shaolin Soccer, Steven Chow is definitely gaining some points.

Next...I kind of want to see Crash. Maybe tomorrow evening will be a good time for it.

3-Iron also looks kind of good, but also potentially creepy and stupid. The preview was music-only, and people wakling around looking a mix of stoic and upset. But still...it could be cool.

I WANT A JOB. I e-mailed about six people today, so hopefully someone will respond. Until then, I'll just focus my energy on fucking up Egypt and Britain, and planning a proper attack against Rome.

One more battle, and Gaul is gone

2005-05-16T03:33:15Z

I feel so powerful.

I think I went to the driving range four or five times just this week. I'm gonna get real poor real quick if I keep that up.

Potty-mouth time:

So there I was, trying to sleep in my bed, like I usually do, and Tara (the older of the two greyhounds) comes in and lays down next to the bed. So I figure, ok, I can deal with her laying in here. It won't kill me. Oh, how foolish I was.

Tara, being the farter of the two dogs, farts, and it smells bad...real bad. I turn around and hide toward the wall in my room. I turn around about 20 seconds later, and the bitch is gone. So, in conclusion, she comes in, farts, and leaves. That's class.

Grades are taking forever to come out, and it's annoying. The job hunt is also a bit annoying. Best-case scenario, I will have a job at Brunswick Zone tomorrow. Here's hoping.

OH MY GOD IT'S FRIDAY THE 13TH

2005-05-13T04:17:15Z

OH MY GOSH.

So there I was, killing 1100 people from Gaul (with only 600 brave Romans to my name), and then the game crashes.

I was beautiful. The archers and onagers routed the oncoming infantry in just enough time. The cavalry tore through their flanking units. It was wonderful. Then the game crashed....

Oh well, I guess that just means I'll get to do it again. Fucking Gaul.

Once the Britons and the remnants of Gaul are destroyed, I'll have all of Western Europe. Snazzy!

One day, I will have real things to talk about. One day...but not today.

Full of cow, corn, and cookies.

2005-05-09T04:03:15Z

I went a whole day without eating a hamburger for the first time in several months. It's nice to be home, see the family and have relatively good food to eat. My mom REALLY liked the bag that Suz (with some assistance from me) made for her, and PLUS she got her darling son (me) to come home for an entire four months.

Not sure how I did with classes this semester. For the most part, I feel I did well, but not well enough to feel secure through finals. My final Travel Lit paper and my Psych test were both a bit iffy, and anything short of really good would make for a disappointing semester. I got 67 dollars for books, though.

It became more apparent this semester more than ever that people do change, and they change quickly. Either that, or they were just really good at hiding who they were.

I just can't wait for July 31-August 7.

I think that I had more to say, but I lost it.

Owned, Owned, and Owned

~~Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker~~
~~Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door~~

What's next?

Lost reruns are disappointing.

I have a whole lot of bad, bad metal. Why don't we ever get good promo CDs?

...To dance, or not to dance?

Today, I shed a tear for Boone.

John Locke is a good man. If you say differently, I will crush you with an airplane.

Just so I could hold off on "Boxcar Bertha" for three more minutes...

2005-02-16T05:42:25Z

Free CDs are pretty damn cool. Let's see...today, I got Samael, Soilwork, the "Alone in the Dark" soundtrack, and then a bunch of other heavy-ass bands I haven't heard of. Chances are, this is mostly stuff I wouldn't buy on my own or play too much on the air, but hell, it's free. I'll take it. I do believe the best CD I've gotten so far is the Gwar one. I have since donated it to my workstudy boss' collection to play for everyone in his office.

LONG LIVE THE POWER HOUR.

Oh, and a kid finally got back to me about jamming/playing in a band, so perhaps we'll be the next hardcore metal punk screamo emo folk eurotrance fusion sensation. We are the next Finntroll....

14. Where did most of your money go? Real money: Movies to watch when bored with Suzie, Flex cash: Cubes of soda as Christmas presents

That's it.

I'm gonna punch tommy.

I wanna be the person that breathes really heavy in the new Destiny's Child song

2004-12-17T07:57:18Z

Haaa, haaa

I usually use livejournal-light (xanga). Even there, I don't post much any more.

I wish people were on to play games more. Last year, aside from seeing my family, the highlight of being home was playing Counterstrike and Warcraft 3 until 4-5am with all my clanmates/friends. (There are few things more fun than playing a World War 3 game when you're half asleep [y'know...when everything seems about 17 times funnier].)

Playing online games isn't very fun when playing with strangers. So, in conclusion, to hell with those who are strangers, and to hell to those who aren't on any more.

Anybody wanna jam? I've been playing the same five songs on guitar since August. It's a bitch trying to think of new/fun things to play when not playing with anyone else. Damned SU soft-rock bastards.

Give me power metal. Give me wizards. Give me castles. GIVE ME FUCKING DRAGONS.

I'm the 3-minute Speed-Scrabble champion of the world.
