See, my original idea with this blog was that I wouldn't say specific things about myself, and the readers (lol) would just get an idea of who I am through context and the stories I tell.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, being that I only post on this blog when I'm bored or being a mopey dick (see what I did there? "Mopey dick," "Moby Dick?"), I don't believe that that's happening. So, I figure that these little "Top Six" lists will be easy enough for me to post on a regular basis, and might be somewhat entertaining (unless I do "The Top 6(d): Reasons that my friends are total jerks," or "The Top 6(d): things I love about vegetarianism").</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrghtXWfVYM">Break Ya Neck- Busta Rhymes</a></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm a really big fan of this funk-crunk beat (ironically), as you'll see in the upcoming list. The toats groovy tunes mixed with Busta's ridiculously fast spitting make me love this. Also I love the video. Why the hell is he on a farm? Why is he red? What the shit is his hair doing?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmPJSbutHn4">Crazy Rap (Colt .45 and Two Zig-Zags)- Afroman</a></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The pure crassness of this song get me every time. I somehow have the censored version on my iPod, and it's hilarious because you just CAN'T HEAR THE SONG. The last part is taken out completely ("So you start to eat the pussy"). You can watch the video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bfk6zCfg1A&feature=related">here</a>, but the KKK line as well as the last part is censored.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HY9uZWCh4go">Teach Me How To Dougie- Cali Swag District</a></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is an unofficial video, the real one is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZglqkCRNt8">here</a>. This song was stuck in my head for like three months after M-Bone was killed earlier this year. Nuff said.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jov-R1FfoJs&ob=av3e">Lean Like a Cholo- Down AKA Kilo</a></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Maybe this song wasn't as popular nationally as it was in New Mexico... I actually grew up listening to the parody, "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlTRvY8V5Zo">Lean like a Chola</a>," and I only have the original because my sister downloaded the wrong one like eight years ago... Got dat crunk beat.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t41oSMD6vc">Go To Church- Ice Cube ft. Snoop Dogg and Lil Jon</a></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">DAT CRUNK</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Love this song. My favorite part is the giant, inflatable west-side hand. How the hell ass did they find something like that? But specifics aside, it's great because it's about the trashiest, blackest video in the history of anything (especially during Snoop Dogg's verse... that car...), and all of the guys are about 90 and Ice Cube is a child's movie actor.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jgrCKhxE1s&ob=av2e">Through the Fire and Flames- Dragonforce</a></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Asian guy's hair is too good. The reason this song is the best is because the only thing it has to its name is how fast it is (look at their fingers, haha) but it doesn't even sound good in the end. And their hair, and oh god the lyrics. What do they mean? What does "fighting hard, fighting on for the steel" mean? I wish I could count the amount of times I've declared myself DJ so I could have an excuse to play this song.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600926498586079591.post-70030141907461381122011-11-28T14:18:00.001-08:002011-11-28T14:18:30.297-08:00Haha fuck<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I think I already have a post with this title</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I don't even know what I am doing with this blog</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I've been playing League of Legends a lot lately. I think it really is just a fun, well-made game whose fan base is made up of elitist assholes. But still. Look at them scores. I'm not gonna show any scores from before like last week, because that was before I started using <a href="http://solomid.net/guides.php?g=151">Hyfe's guide</a>, and my scores suck. But look at them now! I'm awesome as Nasus, as long as my team lets me solo top. Even so, I think that once I save up to 6300 IP I'm gonna start maining as Renekton. The art spotlight for Renekton is was made me first hear of LoL, and I love his backstory, design, and playstyle so yeah.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Nothing much is happening. I got mostly "A"s as of midterms, so that was cool. The only "B" I got was in Drafting, and that's a pretty tough class. Um. Halloween is tomorrow. I'm going as Eddie Bull from Crashbox. No link because it's impossible to find an image of Eddie anywhere. But it's a cool costume. I'm gonna go trick-or-treating with Noah, and if Anson decides to stop BEING A LITTLE BITCH we'll all go together.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Basketball tryouts are probably pretty soon, and I'm still not good. So that sucks. Huh. Writing that, I just realized I'll probably never make the team. Oh well, there's always League of Legends.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600926498586079591.post-47686799588671500322011-10-08T13:43:00.000-07:002011-10-08T13:44:40.012-07:00Guys<a href="http://airstheriolu.deviantart.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">hahaha guys</span></a><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Oh man, lately all I've been doing is favoriting stuff ironically and making fun of people on Deviantart Oh my god, though, this is the best. I actually think this is too bad to be real; honestly it could be ironic, too, haha.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> So, the giveaway is still going on, I figure that once it goes past deadline I'll just give the product to the first request. After that, I'll release my Promo Code, which will let you get My Memories for 10% off.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> As for things in general, I feel like I haven't done an update here in like three years. I'm slowly growing more acclimated to school. Actually, I've been kind of enjoying it lately. I have a whole bunch of hour or two long breaks, so I kinda just get to chill or do homework. The classes that I'm actually taking at my school are really easy and kind of lame (like Environmental Science, haha), but the three college classes I'm taking are really interesting and cool, albeit pretty difficult.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> There is a downside to this great schedule, though. My mom can't pick me up from school every day, so usually my dad does. And that's fine and everything, I don't really care who picks me up and who doesn't. However, I don't have a basketball hoop at my dad's house, so I'm really not getting to practice as much as I would like to. I would just use the court at my school, cuz we have really nice facilities, but they have this gay policy where you can't use the gym unless you're taking a physical education class. Otherwise, it costs six bucks a day to use it. Six goddamn bucks a day!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> So I stepped up my basketball routine when I can do it. I do more cardio and conditioning stuff, along with flexibility. I still do the same shooting routine that I talked about before, but I'm doing extra free throws as well as about 15 minutes per workout of the Mikan Drill. I also dribble. A lot. Pete Maravich, one of my favorite basketball players of all time, used to dribble a basketball everywhere he went, or so goes the tale. Speaking of Pete Maravich, he has a great series of basketball "homework" videos, which I have started putting into a Youtube playlist <a href="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFEEF63B98D610648&feature=mh_lolz">here</a>. They aren't quite in order, but the shooting series is and that's what really matters.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> In addition to actual playing skills, I've been lifting and trying to build actual muscle. I just think that that's a good idea, since unlike what I was doing in the summer, my drills themselves won't help in that area. I also want a new pair of shoes. I have some pretty decent ones right now that I do like and will continue to wear, but if I do end up making the basketball team I want a pair of real basketball shoes. It's too bad that a nice pair of Air Jordans will run you a good $150-200 bucks, and that's for the "retro" re-releases. But whatever, I'm fairly certain I can't make the team anyway.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> So, just a solid update to keep on, I dunno. Updating. And trying to avoid homework.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Fuck</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600926498586079591.post-22767047086280369252011-09-28T17:30:00.000-07:002011-09-28T17:30:08.458-07:00Giveawaaaaaaay<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">WHATUP</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. Be mundane</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. Do something stupid</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. Be a loser and blog about it</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. Be a bigger loser and make fun of yourself for being a loser</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. Be mundane</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lather, rinse, repeat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I mentioned a while back that I wanted to find a focus of this blog. I thought I'd just show an example of what I mean. A favorite blog of mine is </span><a href="http://www.theandroidscloset.com/"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Android's Closet</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. It focuses on video games; video game culture, news, etc. Most things related to video games can be found on The Android's Closet. This common theme, in tandem with great writing by Mr. Adequate and Pike (of </span><a href="http://www.aspectofthehare.net/"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Aspect of the Hare</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> fame) makes it a truly enjoyable blog to read, especially since it's updated regularly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This is the standard that I want to get to. A regularly updated blog with interesting, related content, that also has a devoted fanbase and good writing. The problem is, I'm not sure how to get there. My life is equal parts Pokemon, basketball, art, and internet, but I don't feel that I'm interested in (or knowledgable about) any of those subjects enough to consistently write about them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"> Was this a good post? In depth, simple, no humor but also no feeling-sorry-for-yourself-suckiness?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">EDIT: Hey guys, I am removing all uses of the word "fag" on this blog; I recently received a promotional offer, and though they have said nothing on this subject, I feel that I should try to appear a bit more professional. So I thought this would be the right move, especially because I actually condone gay rights.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600926498586079591.post-67727471630505581362011-09-10T14:24:00.000-07:002011-09-10T14:24:50.312-07:00SO<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I left Pokebeach. Maybe I've talked about Pokebeach...? Anyway, it's a Pokemon news/TCG fansite, with a massive forum. For the last two years Pokebeach has been a pretty big part of my life, as lame as that sounds. I've amassed almost 3,000 posts and over a month online. Me, Anson and Noah originally joined when we were just getting into the TCG, and needed advice.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> But in the last few months, Pokebeach has detiorated. Much of the staff is inactive and or unknowledgable about the forums they're moderating, and the members have gotten exponentially less intelligent compared to when we joined.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Noah got banned like a month back and the staff has refused to lift his ban (despite him being an active poster with a few spam warnings). And about a week ago, a favorite member of ours, Bacon, made the desicion to leave the forums. All I ever did was look at Bacon's posts. The TCG section of the site is horrible nowadays, and the VG section isn't much better. So, my leaving basically comes down to that I don't feel like I can learn any more from Pokebeach, and I really hate a lot of people there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> So, I've decided I'm gonna start focusing more on other things. I'll do more art, play more basketball. Now that I'm gone, I've kinda put it into perspective and seen how much time I was wasting on a Pokemon forum. I started playing AdventureQuest again, even though that's not much better.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> But I'm not on some emo shit right now or anything, haha. But the truth is that the Pokebeach community has been pretty important to me the past two years, and it kind of is like the end of an era. I'm still gonna play Pokemon. It's fun, the TCG (to an extent, the format sucks ass right now), and competitive VG. And I'll still keep in touch with a few members through my DeviantART. But I got rid of Pokebeach on my favorites bar and haven't touched it all day, and honestly I feel better.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> It's just kind of odd.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600926498586079591.post-55267502144570919512011-09-09T11:39:00.000-07:002011-09-09T11:40:14.083-07:00crap<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">shit i have a blog</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I'm sick today. Huh. That's how this blog started. That was like half a year ago. Shit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Okay, so. I've never mentioned this here (or really anywhere), but I am a huuuuuuuuuge sucker for a few types of plots. Or plot themes. Or whatever. I really like closure, which is why the whole "full circle" thing is kinda cool to me. That's partially why I'm such a huge fan of <u>The Alchemist</u>, the ending comes full circle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The other one is time travel plotlines. Especially when the characters do something that has an unexpected effect on the present, or when they end up meeting themselves. Even though that's kinda (read: really) overdone, I dunno. I just really like it. The passage of time is something that is hugely fascinating to me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> In relation to that, I really, really, hate the feeling of nostalgia. Looking through old photos or my drawings gets me every time. For Christ's sake, I'm starting to get sad just thinking about nostalgia. That's why I write letters to myself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Oh, I've never mentioned that, either? Well, it's a pretty common thing, often done at small schools to remind students that they change over the course of the year. My freshman English teacher, Mr. Boatman, also had us do it. He said that he writes a new letter to himself every year. I think that's pretty cool. Someday, when I grow up, I'd love to have a collection of letters that very clearly show my evolution over time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> That, of course, reconnects to the fact that the passage of time is very interesting to me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I should do posts like this more often. I don't lead a very exciting life, but my mind is weird as fuck.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600926498586079591.post-52328038880784268962011-08-18T20:31:00.000-07:002011-09-13T16:40:20.899-07:00School is for Kids with a Future<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I can tell because I am in school and do not like it. Honestly, switching may have been the wrong idea, but I'm pretty sure that I'm just forgetting how truly awful Santa Fe High was. I look at my classmates, and I'm like, "That kid's an idiot," but then I remember that I knew someone just like him at Santa Fe High.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I think the good thing is that even though my new school does have morons and douches and thugs, it's different from Santa Fe High in that they aren't worshipped like gods here. Here, they're just stupid kids. Not the ones that really own the school.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Did I ever mention Gabe?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Funny story behind Gabe, but one for another time. The overarching idea is that the kid is an annoying shit head, but for whatever reason I've been in school with him for the last three years, and this is the fourth. But Noah came up with a plan. We're all just going to call him Josh. Not like in an annoying way, just in a, "Isn't your name Josh?" kinda way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> That is, if we ever talk to him at all. Right now he's a loner, and honestly I'd prefer to keep it that way, unless we can shove my friend Sam off on him. Sam... well, I was told by Danny to not let him become a reject, but I'm hpoing I can do that, well, without being around him much.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Really, him and Gabe would make a great duo, the "funny" (read: not funny) fat one, and the "smart" (read: not smart) little one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> But I guess I'm liking it overall. We have to do a set amount of community service every year, so I'm kinda like "fuck that," and the organization could be better (that said, it's better than Santa Fe High's), but I think that in the end, making the switch was the right idea.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Ugh, basketball. I haven't gotten to play in like five days, and I'm desperate just to hold a basketball at this point. I'm still considering trying out for the team, but honestly it might be better for me to take another year to improve, actually try. But on the other hand, if I punk out this year I probably will next year, too. But whatever.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Just a update on my life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Oh yeah. Today I talked to Leyla over Facebook. I don't think I've ever talked about Leyla on this blog, but she went to elementary school with me, and last year we got to be pretty good friends. I've kinda missed her, because she was the only girl I've like ever talked to on a regular basis. Our conversation went something like this:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "Hey Leyla, have you started school yet?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "Yes"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "Are you taking an engineering class?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "No"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "But everything's going well?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "Yes"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> No, really, guys. Girls like me.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600926498586079591.post-14990655136214713082011-08-16T12:03:00.000-07:002011-08-16T12:03:40.076-07:00Hurgh <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hey guys, I have a Deviantart. It's right </span><a href="http://sicksdee.deviantart.com/"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. I really just draw thug gorillas and Pokemon but if that's your cup of tea feel free to check it out, I guess. School starts tomorrow. Well, orientation. So... fuck. I know Santa Fe High started on Monday, so I texted Miguel. I wanted to know when basketball tryouts are. I tried to play it kinda cool, you know, I wasn't gonna be like, "Man, I'm gonna make the basketball team against all odds, so tell me when I can!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> So my text went something like, "Hey man, do you know when basketball tryouts are at your school?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> His response:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I don't think Miguel has faith in my basketball playing abilities. I'm trying to do some more art recently, cuz in the past month or so I've done barely any. As such, I went and drew like a dozen things over the weekend, and I have at least 10 more planned. I just need to find the time and motivation to actually finish pieces that I start.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> All that I've been listening to is mainstream rap, and I'm not really sure why. I worry that I'm starting to like Drake. I like Big Sean. "I Do It" certainly has its moments. I've also been listening to Sahtyre's live version of "Miss Communication" on Knocksteady Live.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> But fuck, I'm so not ready for school. Ugh, I really don't want to have to start dealing with other human beings again. Ugh. I mentioned a while back the Hawaiian phrase "futless," which is kinda how I feel now, except just kinda not looking forward to anything at all. But whatever. As soon as I digitalize all my data for the summer (in terms of basketball), I'll post it here, so my readers (lol) can see how little I improved despite my efforts.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600926498586079591.post-28048842915102816892011-08-12T12:37:00.000-07:002011-08-12T12:37:26.362-07:00I Live for LoL<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> It's all I've been doing for like three days. Unfortunately, at my mom's house the computer is pretty slow, and I lag a lot. But whatever. If there is one flaw with the game, it's the people who play it. Seriously, how come every single League of Legends player who isn't a noob is a total douche?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Just now, I was playing on Summoner's Rift, I spent all early game grinding in the bottom lane with a guy playing Wukong (who was even more of a noob than me). By midgame, the Wukong guy had quit, but I had a ton of levels and gold on everyone, so I just kept pushing the bottom lane. I was at the Inhibitor tower and retreating, and I got ganked by the three strongest of the other team's players.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Suddenly, this dude playing Kassadin goes, "dude what the fuck are you doing pushing by yourself?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I said, "I didn't see the other team, I thought you guys were dealing with them, so I thought I could push by myself." That's reasonable, because I'm playing a DPS Nasus, and obviously I can clear the lane easily. But the dude keeps being a douche, so I decide to group in mid and push with the rest of the team (minus Wukong). We all died.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> So the dude goes, "wtf r u gys doing we were winning?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> And I'm kinda thinking, "Oh, you mean when I was pushing bot successfully and about to start spawning super minions?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> We ended up winning. Now, I'm not great at LoL. Of course, I'm just a noob myself. Still, I ended up going like 3/13/7, with almost 200 minion kills and four tower destroys. But I never understood why someone can't be good at a video game and still be a good person. You damn straight I reported that bitch for flaming, and the Wukong guy for leaving.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I mean, I guess I would feel the same way if I were a really good player, but I mean, why didn't he just tell me what to do instead of being a dick? And it's not like we're playing ranked matches or anything. The only reason I didn't flame his ass back is to avoid being reported.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600926498586079591.post-70309436719768245072011-08-09T22:41:00.000-07:002011-08-09T22:41:15.459-07:00Fuck LoL Another day with no song because I thought it might be interesting to go back and see what songs I had stuck in my head but it turns out it was a really dumb idea that I don't care about. So I guess no more Song of the Day.<br />
So, I have like 100 GB of free space on this computer, so I was like, "Hey, I'm gonna install League of Legends." I've seen some of the art work on YouTube and I really like it, and I watched a video by TheAcousticKind and I thought the gameplay looked fun. The way I figured it, I had nothing to lose.<br />
Except time. I've been waiting like five hours for this goddamn gae to install and update patches. The worst part is that the time remaining keeps going up while I'm not looking, so I'm like, "Oh, well I can afford to stay up another 15 minutes for the install to finish." But then a half hour later it says "15 minutes remaining." But whatever. I've been looking for something to do to fill up my time in these last few weeks before school starts, and I figure getting into a new game will do just fine.<br />
IF I FINISH FUCKING INSTALLING IT<br />
Seriously, what the shit is wrong with these programmers that they couldn't put the patches into the installation? I mean, really, what the fuck? Huh.<br />
I need to do some art. But lately I've been very uninspired (another thing I think LoL will kinda help with, since the art direction is so great), so meh. I'm not one of those guys who can just sit and draw.<br />
For the upcoming year, I plan on doing a character list. Like for my life. So that that way, I don't need to explain every person I ever talk about in my stories. I dunno. I think it could be interesting at the least. Ugh. I dunno. In Hawaiian pidgin, there's a phrase, "futless." It's a feeling between bored and frustrated and "meh." That's kinda just how I've been the past few days. Mostly bored though.<br />
I've stepped up my basketball routine, in the hopes that in the next few weeks my skills will improve exponentially and I can make the team. Maybe that's why I've been futless. 'Cause I've been working all summer at playing basketball, and honestly I'm not that much better than I was at the end of the school year. Meh.<br />
I'm only writing this because I'm bored. Waiting for League of Legends to patch. Only 53:56 and 489 MB remaining...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600926498586079591.post-30524911626265357752011-08-06T11:27:00.000-07:002011-08-06T11:27:19.310-07:00Urgh<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> No song of the day because I am lazy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Sometimes I have to update this blog. I keep thinking I'm gonna write movie reviews, then I get lazy and think I'll do it later. Then I don't because I'm lazy. By the time I actually want to do it, the movie is like a month old and I feel like there's no point. WHATEVER MAN</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Um. I hhhhierrrregfnho</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Oh! School starts in like two weeks. That really sucks, because I am definitely not as good at basketball as I hoped to be by the end of summer, and most definitely not good enough to make the team.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">prfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffehkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkki</span><br />

Android and Bobby Bloodbath)- Wax and EOM</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This is a post about basketball. It is a post involving how I am preparing to make the Junior Varsity. Ok. </span><a href="http://flexcourtofcleveland.com/42x50flexcourtb.gif"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is the key.</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I shoot lots of shots around the key every day. My process:</span><br />
<ol><li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I warm up by just shooting around inside the paint. Back towards the hoop, I just turn and shoot. At least 20 times, just for warm up.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I do dribbling exercises. Looking straight foward, I pass the ball from hand to hand in a figure eight around my legs, or I dribble in a figure eight around my legs.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I stretch.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I do my form shooting. I shoot at five spots around the key: The block and the line behind the line behind the block (on both sides), and the free throw line. I have to make at least 10 at each spot, and shoot at least 20. In between each place, I sprint a 25-foot distance back and forth 12 times. I record all my makes and misses in a nootebook.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I do 20 layups on the right. I have to make at least 18.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I shoot 10 times from the top of the arc. I don't have a minimum make level, because I don't want to overwork myself shooting distance (the further away from the basket you are, the more there is a breakdown of fundamental technique).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I do 20 layups on the left. I have to make at least 18.</span></li>
</ol><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I should also be concerned with stuff like nutrition and diet and lifting, but I figure, eh, I'm trying to make the junior varsity at a school with a failing athletics program. I don't need to worry that much.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This post was extra boring and unfunny. I just thought you might have been curious.</span><br />

Android and Bobby Bloodbath- Wax and EOM</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Gather round, children, and let me tell you a story.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Actually, wait. Let's do some updates. I am doing a wonderful </span><a href="http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/thread-6d-s-soulsilver-nuzlocke"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Soulsilver Nuzlocke</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> over on Pokebeach, which btw, has a beautiful layout that will force to spend even more time there. I'm back on my shooting regimen, after skipping a couple days at my dad's house. Still praying for that JV. Still praying.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Ok, those are all the updates. I don't lead a very exciting life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Gather round children, and let me tell you a story. It's a story about how I became who I am today. The event that impacted how I live my life today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_MTV_Video_Music_Awards"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. Bear with me. See, as everybody knows, that was the year that Kanye West jumped up on the stage to announce that Beyonce's "Single Ladies" was "one of the best videos of all time." Here's a hint: that's not true. But of course, it caused a huge backlash, controversy, blah, blah, blah. The most important part is that Kanye was, for a short while, an internet meme. Some were funny, some weren't and some I genuinely didn't understand. </span><a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/1253039091605.jpg"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Like this one.</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I was thinking, "What is this weird-ass image with Kanye West and what appears to be a retarded black boy?" So I googled Tay Zonday, having no idea what to expect. I then discovered the Chocolate Rain phenomenon. For some reason, I couldn't stop listening to the crazy teenager (Tay Zonday is actually 27) going off in his ridiculous voice about "racism." I wanted to find more out about him, so I clicked on his YouTube channel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Now here's the thick of the plot, because the video that started playing upon clicking on Tay's username was </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLkjxePttcY"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">this</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> It's a Tay Zonday song, whatever. But the part of the creepy white guy towards the end of the video was stuck in my head forever. This story, dear children, is that of how I became a rap fan. At this point in my life, I had no real interest in music. My favorite band was the Gorillaz, but I only owned one CD of theirs, and I didn't listen to it often. I was in that state where I thought rap was dumb.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> All I had heard of rap was... I dunno. But I was under the impression that all rap was about sex, drugs, money, and alcohol. And back then I wasn't into stuff like that. But the man that Tay called "waxandherbalt" was a revelation. I had to go to his channel, too. </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNWXddj_DDk"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bam</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Holy shit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Holy fucking shit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> HOLY FUCKING SHIT.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This was rap. And it was beautiful. Meaningful. Interesting. I didn't want to admit I liked it. What would people think when I said I was a rap fan? But I couldn't stop listening. I listened to it over and over, spent hours relistening until I could memorize the lyrics. Until yesterday, I hadn't listened to it in like two months. I still knew the words, they come natural to me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This duo was fantastic. I made a YouTube account so I could subscribe to both the white guy (who I had figured out by this point was Wax, one half of "Wax and Herbal T") and the Korean guy. A few days later, the Korean, whose name I got as "Dumbfoundead" posted </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3Y9vkeAiqE"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">my favorite song ever. Ever</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> And from there, I was a rap fan. When I got an iPod for Christmas this past year, "Wax and DFD are Clockwise" was the first album I purchased. Since then, I've gotten acclimated with </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucg44WDGkaE"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">other</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9NDyLhtxoE"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">underground</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KF77C8Z5iA"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">rappers</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">, and some </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7tOAGY59uQ"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">mainstream</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrghtXWfVYM"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">artists</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">, too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> So, I'm a rap fan. And people think I'm a douche.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600926498586079591.post-4893249896257955482011-07-06T06:40:00.000-07:002011-07-06T06:40:33.953-07:00Shit dawg, whatchu tryna pull?<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Song of the Day: </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ6zr6kCPj8"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Party Rock Anthem (LMFAO)</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> God, I hate that song. So, sorry for the lack of quality posts here for awhile. Not really though, they were funny. Things that have happened to me since my last real update to this blog:</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I turned 15</span></li>
</ul><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I don't lead a very exciting life. But in seriousness, I got back from Hawai'i on the 27th of June, to come home to the most wonderful Albuquerque International Airport. Except it wasn't wonderful, because it was 93 degrees. See, in Hawai'i, it's ok when it's hot, cuz it's also wet. Here it's dry. And the WHOLE GODDAMN STATE IS ON FIRE.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I only spent one day back here in New Mexico before it's off to Ohio. Now, I was glad to get away from the heat, but you have to understand that Ohio is not a good place, no matter how much Ohioans deny that. Especially Columbus. Columbus is made of Catholic schools, churches, and strip malls. And rain. And I was going to Ohio to go to my grandma's wedding. The woman is 77.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> It was kinda cool to see my family again though. My mom's side of the family (in Hawai'i) is very small, as opposed to my dad's side. My dad has seven brothers and sisters, and all but one has at least two kids. I have a really, really hard time remembering all my cousins' names. But I got to see a few who I haven't seen in years. My cousin Connor is going to be a sophomore in college, and he's playing wide reciever for the University of Wisconsin. That's cool. My cousin Rory plays college basketball. So he's basically just my idol.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The wedding itself was horribly awkward. My whole family is pretty Catholic, so as they were reciting prayers n' shit, I was like, "Who the fuck is Jesus?" Just kidding, I really like Jesus as a historical figure. But whatever. It was ok.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Now, I am back in New Mexico, and my summer is rolling. I really, really, really, ant to try out for Santa Fe High's basketball team. I've definitely already mentioned this, but I'm going to a new school this upcoming year, and it has no sports program. However, I can still play sports at other high schools. I'm not very good at basketball. But my goal is to be good enough by the end of the summer to make the Junior Varsity.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> To acheive that, I've been reading </span><a href="http://www.abebooks.com/Wooden-Sharman-Method-Guide-Winning-Basketball-Wooden/529446059/bd"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">a book</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. My uncle gave it to me in Hawai'i, because he used to coach. It's old, and very campy, but it's truthfully a pretty useful book. I've also been watching </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ShotScience?blend=3&ob=5"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ShotScience</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. I'm shooting upwards of 150 shots a day, so I hope that at the very least, I can be a few quick points on the team when the team needs it (which is often, I believe I mentioned in an old post that Santa Fe High is awful at every sport ever).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> In other news, I read <u>The Alchemist</u>. By Paulo Coelho. Holy shit. Fan-fucking-tastic. All I'll say is that I've read it three times. So, end of this long-ass post, too bad it wasn't interesting.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600926498586079591.post-7472506958016129432011-06-26T23:15:00.001-07:002011-06-26T23:15:54.363-07:00Sometimes People Don't Get Things<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WORK LIKE THIS</span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Round One: vs. ReshiBoar</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was a sick game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I knew he was playing ReshiBoar because he was playing the same thing yesterday and I saw his cards as he was shuffling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was pretty worried, because I have a bad match-up against basically any Fire deck, due to Jumpluff’s weakness and the effect of Dragon Steam.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I played pretty bad, kinda fuckin’ around early game to mess with his set-up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That ended up as a bad move, because he got set-up nonetheless.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We traded a couple prizes until it was 3-2, his lead.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At this point, we ran out of time and were forced into Plus Three.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had nothing to do and passed, so it would go me, him, me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had some damaged Reshirams out (one belted), an Emboar, and a Nintales.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, I played really, really, well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used Froslass to drag up the belted Reshiram on his bench that had no energy, and then retreated out to Roserade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I timed my Poison Binds so that he died after his turn and I could take the last prize and win 2-0.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He turned out to be a cool kid, and we talked a bit after the match.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wish I could remember his name…</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>1-0</strong></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Round Two: vs. BlazeGar</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now I was playing Pill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was running this pretty slick Blaziken FB/Gengar SF build that Anson had built him, and he used it to beat Anson in Round One.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our match was kinda uneventful, we were tied at three prizes after he hit a Fainting Spell on a belted Jumpluff.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that, though, he couldn’t get much out, and I used a good Poison Bind to avoid a second Fainting Spell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I lock up a Crobat with Roserade for the last prize and win, 2-0.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>2-0</strong></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Round Three: vs. LuxChomp</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yay, now I get to play Noah.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Playing two friends in a row, it’s just the best.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, I rarely play against LuxChomp, usually I’m not doing well enough in the tournament to play the higher-tiered decks, and I hate playing SP so I don’t usually test against it.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I win this, I get Top Cut.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If not, Top Cut will be Noah and Anson.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I got a terrible lone Hoppip start, but I go first and set-up pretty well (despite a five card Set-Up being Sprayed) to avoid the donk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He sets up too, and we trade a couple prizes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, I slowed him with Mesprit’s Psychic Bind, and I used that to avoid some Bright Looks and Healing Breathes that would have been crucial.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t remember much of the game, we both made pretty standard plays.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We did well, but I got the 2-0 win.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>3-0</strong></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Top Cut: Game One</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nice, 3-0.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This leaves me as the only undefeated dude in the tourney, so I obviously make Top.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, now me and Noah play in Top.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was kinda lame that we had to play three games in a row, but whatever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was pretty similar to the Swiss game, neither of us had particularly great starts, but we nonetheless got a decent set up going by T2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did, however, get<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>rolling better than he did in the early game, due to some good Mesprit use (and him not getting any Power Sprays).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We traded a few prizes, but I was able to make a good late game play to bring up Crobat G and Poison Bind it for the last prize.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>4-0</strong></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Top Cut: Game Two</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately, this game wasn’t too much fun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were both kind of bored by this point, and the game wasn’t particularly close.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t even remember that much of it, just “Mass Attack for KO.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe I pulled out the game 3-0 as I gazed in anticipation at the Victory Medal.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>5-0</strong></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, yeah, I had a good day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not great, but who the hell cares when you win?</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh yeah, I'm in Hawaii now. So if updates come slower, that's why.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600926498586079591.post-22791447863752110132011-06-05T18:10:00.000-07:002011-06-05T18:10:57.982-07:00How Will Smith got Even Better<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Around yesterday, Will Smith was chosen. He woke up one day in his Miami Beach/Los Angeles/Stockholm mansion to a familiar face: that of Morgan Freeman. It took but a second for him to realize it was not Freeman himself, but God in Freeman's guise.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "What up, God?" asked Will casually. "Why you lookin' like Morgan Freeman, just 'cuz I'm black?" He laughed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Morgan Freeman's always-soothing voice sounded, "Actually, Will, that's why I'm here. It has been decided that you no longer are."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Will looked at Freeman, who was still smiling. "What... what do you mean, God?" he stammered. "What... I just... what? I've been black my whole life... how can something like that just change?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Freeman chuckled and patted Will on the shoulder, reassuring him. "Don't misunderstand, Will. This is a good thing! No longer are you bound by the limits of race. Though it may take humans awhile to understand, you have transcended blackness. It was decided."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "By who?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "The Council." God snapped his fingers and three more figures materialized in Will's bedroom: Shaquille O'Neal, Pokemon player Joshua Henry, and Malcom the Burger King employee. They took turns speaking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "Hey, Will, I know you must be busy," started Shaq, "but maybe if you're free one day you can come down to Peralta and we can play a game of one-on-one. Not that I expect to win or anything."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Joshua was next. "And hey, while you're there, you may as well trot over to Albuquerque so we can playtest. I dunno if you heard, but the next format is HGSS-on. The Chandelure from Red Collection is the nect BDIF."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Malcom coughed before his turn. "Hey Will," he began, "I'm sorry we got rid of the Buck Double, I know you liked it. We're bringing it back just for you, and here's a coupon that will let yu get them free. All day, Erryday."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "Thanks for the offers," said Will, "but I'm already working on my next film. And also album." He continued, "Actually, my kids'll be up soon and I gotta start the strenuous workout that I do everyday."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> But as the foursome of great black men started to leave, Will stopped them. "Am... I the only one?" he asked God.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> God smiled and Freeman's wonderful voice boomed, "Oh, no. Bill Cosby, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Stevie Wonder, the list goes on. We're considering Li'l Wayne for next year, but we don't want him to stop using 'nigga' in his songs."</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600926498586079591.post-4091328891263059422011-05-27T13:32:00.000-07:002011-05-27T13:32:29.953-07:00It Ain't No Thing <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Song of the Day: </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odLERTf16GQ"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Demon Days (Gorillaz)</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Just a boring ol' update. School is out. We technically have it today, but I finished all my finals on Wednesday so I was like, "Fuck it." Even if I wanted to, I probably couldn't have. I sprained my wrist on Wednesday, and it hurt. It's not bad anymore, but I still couldn't go out and play basketball.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Wanna hear how it happened? Well, we went to play ball like usual on Wednesday, but there were some other kids there. They seemed a bit younger, but they were a full team. They were running through plays with their coach. After awhile, the coach asked us if we wanted to play a quick 5-on-5 game. We agreed. They smashed us. Like, bad. None of us could score, and we don't know at all how to play defense, having never really been on a team.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> But I hurt my wrist getting a block. My final stats for the game: two rebounds, two turnovers, and a block. But it was a beautiful block. It went straight to Miguel and ended up as a couple of points. But yeah.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> You, know, I never really gave credit to people who hurt their non-dominant hand. When my friends broke their arms in the past, I'd be like, "Well, at least you didn't hurt the one you write with!" But I've found it shockingly hard the past couple of days to do things one-handed. Like opening bottles. I have to hold it awkwardly in my elbow while I open it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> In other news, good ol' Blizzard has sent me a free trial of Cataclysm. I'm sitting at 79 right now, and I'm not sure if I wanna do some more Lich King content or jump right into Cata. I'm thinking the latter. I'd like to start doing the end-game content that other people are doing.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600926498586079591.post-15032041528134687572011-05-16T17:44:00.000-07:002011-05-16T17:44:24.981-07:006D Goes to the NMSA Performance<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A.K.A: I had a really good idea for a blog post but then I waited too long to write it and now I feel like it's irrelevant.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Song of the day: </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7kgHRlUlHc"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Teach Me how to Dougie (Cali Swag District)</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Updating blogs is hard. So, school gets out in nine days. You'd think the year would be winding down, but I've had more work this week than I have all year. My school is a terrible public school, and the whole year I've kinda been like, "Am I ever going to have to do any work at all here?" I guess so. Three projects are due this week, and I have a few finals,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I've been trying to work more on music. I keep telling Miguel I'm the next Dr. Dre, because I'm making beats. The truth is that I have one failed beat from when me and Noah </span><a href="http://lazyseventeens.blogspot.com/2011/04/dont-do-that.html"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">wrote a rap about Diglett.</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I've also been trying to write lyrics. I'm SOOOOOOOOOO bad at it. Every day in Spanish, I try to write a new song. And I kinda get in a groove, and start liking it. Then a few days later I readit back and think, "What the fuck?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I'm hoping to eventually get this blog more centered, ya dig? Like, one of my favorite blogs is </span><a href="http://ondaradar.wordpress.com/"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On da Radar.</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> It's all about reviews. El Radar reviews movies, mostly. I would love to get this blog more focused on one subject, because I feel like that will get me more views. With ads running (I should put those up, too), more views is usually more money. I'm saving said money for Photoshop CS5. Possible topics include art, Pokemon, WoW (WoW blogs actually have a pretty big fanbase, for filling such an odd niche) and... oh, wait. Those are the only things I know. Good.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600926498586079591.post-54580196041926066192011-05-05T12:34:00.000-07:002011-05-16T17:45:03.762-07:00Untiled<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Song of the Day: </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6acwjOSlTg"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Charlie Sheen (Dumbfoundead, Traphik, and Jin)</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I'm home from school today. Yestersay when we were playing basketball in P.E., this kid fouled me really bad. He just kinda rammed into my arm, and it caused some pain. Today, just putting on my shirt was hell because I had to move my arm.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> So, I've been playing WoW. I've hit 78, which means it's probably time for me to leave Sholazar Basin. Which sucks, because I really like that zone. Way better than that frozen piece of shit, Dragonblight. Seriously, I have no idea why I went there instead of Grizzly Hills.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> But I figure I'll stick around until I get a group for A Hero's Burden. I want </span><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=44109"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the helm</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">, dammit! I'm also so close to Revered with the Kalu'ak. Which is cool, because I can get </span><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=44053"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">this.</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> IDK.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Ok, so. Here I am to talk about </span><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/games/impossiblecreatures/"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Impossible Creatures</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. Now, this was a 2002 Microsoft RTS game. It received great praise from critics, but sold very poorly. It revolved around the creative idea of combining animals to make an army of genetic monsters. It was always overshadowed by fellow Microsoft RTS Age of Mythology.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This game is fantastic. I reinstalled it the other day, and have barely stopped playing. for being nine years old, the graphics and sound are great. The campaign is terrible, but the simple Player vs. Computer mode offers enough game by itself. It's a shame Microsoft no longer supports the online servers, as I never got the chance to play online as a kid.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I was never very good, and I'm still not, but hey. This game is still fucking god-awesome. Can't get enough. My favorite unit is a Chimp/Elephant. Late-game artillery is totally beast, and I'm a sucker for the Pack Hunter/Herding combo. It has bad eyesight, but bitch, who needs good eyesight when you're a rock-throwing elephant?</span><br />
