Finding old hobbies

Wed Nov 5, 2008, 2:15 PM
So I was done studying for the day yesterday and decided to boot up the ole Xbox 360, and I put my Lost Odyssey disc in and within five minutes of playing I was hooked again, unfortunately I have lots of studying to do, even as I write this I'm watching videos for my english/pop culture class, but anyway I seriously love Turn-Based RPGs.

Anyway unfortunately my car still isn't done, it won't be done till around 4pm tomorrow, which means my parents have to give me a ride to and pick up from work tomorrow, god I thought I was done with that after I got my driver's license. My dad's all pissed saying that we may not be able to pick it up tomorrow, but if that's the case then I'm so calling off work on Friday because seeing as my family will all be at my sister's play when I get off of work, I'm not waiting around till they get done with that, so hopefully he gets over himself by tomorrow.

been thinking

Tue Nov 4, 2008, 7:46 PM
I've been thinking a lot lately about a certain issue that is of great importance to me and should be to you, the issue of grammar that is.

I don't claim to be grammatically correct more than about 89% of the time, grammar itself is not very important in most of my daily life, however there is a recent atrocity of the American English Grammatical structure that due to its utter deplorably and unforgivably brutal slaying of my beloved tongue I fear I must break my silence and address this most egregious sacrilege.

the thing I speak of being using verbs as nouns or adjectives

an example

"that picture is win!"

another example

"this outfit is made of sex and win"

granted one could easily interpret said sentences as

"that picture is a winner!"

or

"that outfit is a great example of sex appeal and winning design"

I don't know why but using verbs as not verbs just bugs me

Like I said don't usually care about stuff like this, but this time I do so for the sake of my sanity please STOP IT!!!!!

Also I voted today

That is all



no seriously that's all I have





Why are you still reading this?




Stop or I'll scream!





RRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
FFFFFFIIIIIIIIRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MXYZPTLK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KLTPZYM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

two journals in one day

Mon Nov 3, 2008, 8:36 PM
I've been posting a lot of journals recently, today's post was a bit dreary so I figures I'd post another that sounds a bit more like my usual self.

Since I'm posting it everywhere else let me start with politics

Election Day is tomorrow and unfortunately Barrack Obama will probably win. That being said I think that this election will show how stupid most Americans "especially certain social, ethnic, and economic level groups that despite the truth of my statement I cannot name directly cause apparently we're not allowed to make fun of them for being stupid solely because they aren't rich "and" white" anyway whether Obama wins or not all I can say is

Mr. Obama, and yes even if you win to me I shall always refer to you as either "mr." or some incentive slur that I happen to come up with but never as "president" I hate you for the shady, corrupt, and eerily mysterious politician you are, who got where you are thanks to some anonymous backer who undoubtedly is pulling your strings. By god sir you are possibly the only person who could be so openly radical, socialistic, and anti-american yet still not be tarred and feathered.

Sir I hope you get cancer, inoperable cancer that will slowly eat away at you. I wish you a horrifically painful death from natural causes, and yes cancer counts as natural causes because cancer is found in nature.

that being said happy voting everyone

And what's the deal with airline food?

So did you hear the one about the trick or treaters?

two kids walk up to a house and ring the doorbell, they say "trick or treat" the man at the door says "my, my, you two already have a lot of candy" and with that the man took half of the childrens' candy and gave it to the kids who were too lazy to go trick or treating, as the two boys walked away they procalimed "Damn Democrats!"

by the way I didn't create that, it was posted by someone as a comment on youtube.

So it's the start of November and I find myself once again going through clix withdrawl
sadly enough with the trouble with my car as of late I have missed the last two tournaments, I also missed the two before this two but in that instance Tim came over and we clixed then, sure I played clix last week, but it was just one match, I'm used to at least four matches a week, 3 on monday and atleast one other against Tim on some other day. hopefully my car will have no further issues after these ones are dealt with and I can return to my beloved hobby

wow I just called my hobby beloved...god I so need a girlfriend, though seeing as I shall be quite broke for awhile that may not be the best course of action to take, I'm not cheap just broke, well ok I can be kind of cheap, I openly admit that when it comes to spending money I would almost always spend it on myself than on any other person or charitable organization, to be honest I usually buy birthday or Holiday gifts out of a sense of obligation rather than good will. Though to me it seems rather odd that most of the friends...well lets say all of my friends save two *Tim/Tommy* who I buy birthday gifts for, have never sent me so much as a card on mine, well the post on my facebook wall yet that hardly counts. anyway I'm not saying that I'm offended in not receiving a gift, in fact I really don't expect or care to get one, it's just odd that many people I know actually plan a day of fun an frivolity around their B-day and by agreeing to go, I am agreeing to buy them something, I mean if I didn't I'd look like a bad friend, i guess I just don't get it seeing as I never really made a big deal about my birthday with friends. Wow I'm rambling. anyway I can be cheap sometimes, but then again it's not like I'm in a relationship with someone I care about nor have I ever been so it would be hard to know how I'd act in that situation.

Now it seems to me that all is not well within my beloved hobby *there I go again* it seems Wizkids games has taken to creating shoddy looking figures with Korean Paint-jobs that look like they were applied to the figures via Vietnamese blowjobs...to say the least the figures look like shit and Wizkids should fix this problem.

So I hear that this month a new superhero cartoon comes out on Cartoon Network, unfortunately it looks like it's going to be pretty campy.

So I've heard good things about Fallout 3, wish I had the dough to try it out, I've never played a Fallout game before but this one was made by Bethesda who made Oblivion which is probly my fav game o'all-time

I was also disappointed to see that Spiderman Web of Shadows got such bad reviews, they creators seemed so confident that it was going to be the best Spider-man game ever yet apparently it just fizzled under the weight of it's own hype

DC vs Mortal Kombat comes out soon and while everyone's been dogging this game idea after seeing the character line-up I have to say that once I get some disposable income I'll be getting a copy, I've always wanted to know what it would feel like to have Captain Marvel kick the shit out of Scorpion, He'd be all like "Get Over Here!!!" and CM would be all like "Ok...*PUNCH*" haha good times

so Simpson's was dissapointing last night, two shoddy shorts followed by a robot chicken rip-off, come on Groening you can do better than that

Anyway that's all I can think of to talk about, so till next time, *which will probably be a few days* see ya!!! ;)

all's well that doesn't end

Mon Nov 3, 2008, 11:40 AM
Well crap, unfortunately the boys at Ted's Marathon, found more shit wrong with my car, so it'll be in the shop till Wednesday meaning I have to miss my tournament yet again. I guess it wouldn't be so bad except for my hobby is all that keeps me going these days and without it I pretty much don't even want to get out of bed in the morning. And hey guess what, I'm grounded...figure that one out, I'm 20 years old and grounded, I hate living at home and I hate my family. All they've ever done is make me feel like a giant disappointment. They say it's completely in my power to change my life for the better, that to enjoy life and stop being miserable is as easy as simply "wanting to do so" well I don't know what fairy land they live in but my misery is very real and not something simply overcome in an afternoon or by studying harder.

I guess the real reason I have such trouble focusing, studying, and putting effort into my schoolwork is that the simple reality is, the entire world bores me. I mean I simply have no interest in the world or the lives of the people in it, if anything I'd say there are far too many people walking around this planet than I am comfortable with. See the way I learn, remember, or retain anything is by forming a connection with it, that's why it's always been so easy for me to memorize complex storylines from tv, movies, and especially comic books. Reality however offers me nothing which I can connect with, nothing to hold my interest and make me want to stay longer. I actually would have no problem were a plane to suddenly fall from the sky killing me this very instant. I guess it's actually true that I'm tired of living, don't take this to mean that I am suicidal, being a Christian I believe suicide to be a mortal sin and the only thing I can think of that would be worse than hanging around this godforsaken rock for another 50 to 60 years would be to spend an eternity in hell, basically I just want to die, I just don't want to be the one who kills me.

I've been thinking alot about what I could possibly do to make my time left on this living asteroid more bearable, less boring, and I've actually considered following in my friend Tommy's footsteps and joining some Military operation. I think killing enemy combatants would be a very exciting life, sure it may not be a very long life but at this point I fail to see how that would be a downside.

Heck maybe I'm not even all that miserable, I'm just bored. I'm sick and tired of being interested in absolutely nothing of consequence here on earth, my only escape being the fictional universes of comic books, video games, heroclix, and other forms of entertainment. I just want something to happen, World War 3 or the Apocalypse, just something to make life less dull and drudgering.

School doesn't interest me, people don't interest me, life in general just seems moot and pointless at this point.

Well I guess since I'm grounded I'll get back to studying, but by God I'm just so fucking pissed off at this point, I just don't know what's what anymore.

November...OH NOs!!!!

Sun Nov 2, 2008, 7:05 PM
so I got up this morning at 5 "fucking" 30 to make sure I was at work by 7, this may seem normal to you but it had me a bit confused, see I specifically remember when I submitted my availability to work I recall that put down that on Saturday and Sunday I couldn't be in before 10, while it's not like I would be doing anything during those 3 hours other than sleeping or eating, I think what I do with the time is not as important as the fact that when I submitted said availability and the Giant Eagle Corporation agreed to said availability, we entered into a contract where I agreed to show up at work at certain times and they agreed to expect me to show up to work at those and only those times specified. SO FUCKING FUCK MUCKLE FUCKERS apparently don't see it the way I do and rather see it as a sort of cheery suggestion that they may or may not take into consideration...god I hate my job.

So I handed out candy this year dressed as Dr. Frankenstein, and after the tricks and treats were finished I had a few friends over for candy and scary movies, upon which time I ditched my mad scientist glasses, donned a cane and a pill bottle full of Jelly Bellys and TA-Dah "Dr. Gregory House". All in all I'd say it was a good party though we did come dangerously close to a political debate. We watched 2 films, Urban Legend and Freddy vs. Jason,

Freddy vs Jason is not a great film but it gets the job done, there is violence, boobies, and two horror titans slashing at each other's gibbly-bits.

Urban Legend on the other hand is a great film, for those of you who haven't seen it I strongly suggest that you do. It is a great film from the 90s before the era of grisly gore horror based on Japanese knock-offs and instead uses suspense, drama, and actual writing and planning to all in all create a movie that will leave you guessing right up until the twist near the end. Honestly I was sitting in a room with people who watch almost as many movies as I do and not one of them was able to figure out who the murder was. I tell you I miss films like that.

Anyway, Been dealing with issues surrounding the bad tires and shoddy breaks on my car, took it in to get serviced tonight, hopefully the repairs will be done in time for me to make it to my tournament tomorrow, if not I'm gonna be really pissed seeing as it will have been a full month since I last went to a tournament, granted two of the weeks I opted not to go by choice, but I'm still pissed about missing last week's due to my crappy crappy car.

Anyway, I'm not really super psyched about anything at the moment, Fallout 3 is out but I has no money to buy it, new clix set is out but also I have no money to buy any, Hulk was released on DVD yet sadly I can't buy it, wow it appears that a lack of money really effects my mood, I guess you really can buy happiness, or at least a wave runner.

Night yall
