A duty call for ramblings!

So, those of you who haven't figured out that I am a gamer yet, you are behind on things and should catch up quickly.  Because honestly if you haven't picked up on the fact that I now own a PS3 (summer 2010 purchase) then you are living in the stone age, and you should just go back and hide under your rock.  Much like I have been doing for the past good month or so, because I haven't been on this doodle mc bober any time recently, which is my fault, sorta, well yeah. cause I've set my "free" time to be other places.

If your wondering what could have taken up all my time for the past month? here is your answer, its really simple and only one word.  College.  Yes, that is right I'm actually learning and doing stuff this year, the reason why you are getting a post right now is because I'm on thanksgiving break and I am unable to sleep, granted my reason for not sleeping is poor as I'm talking to another person who is totally awesome by the way. In my college experience all I have been doing lately is homework, food, glee, and sleep when possible, now if this sounds terrible to you. Try doing it, much worse.

Now what little free time I have procured has been spent on Glee, Movies, and Call of Duty: Black Ops. Now if you feel like I have wasted my time, then go ahead and tell me, but I will most likely call you biased or a video game/Glee hater.  Though this only maybe for tonight cause I are tired, but thats a whole different story. So, you can't be hatin', judgin', layin' on some disses or any other stuff like that, I am currently in a good mood bubble, and if you pop it, I might just throw kittens at you are something (PETA, do not attack me I am only kidding! I love kittens.)

So you have been caught up for the past month or so, except for when I get home. Then it snowed, like 7.5 inches on my back deck, so, if you don't know this about Seattle. THIS NEVER HAPPENS! we are lucky to get like an inch of snow all year, so it trapped me in my house for the past day or so (thank you stupid drivers and stupid hills yes, we applaud you, but not really.)


So if you couldn't guess it, the second part of my blog post is about Call of Duty: Black Ops.

For your information, this is the only game I've ever pre-ordered and gone to a midnight release for, so that was my confidence in this game, which came out to be right.  Though, I did have a blast at the pre release party, and tourney (though I did terrible at that, but thats a different story.)  This game is probably one of the best shooters I have ever played. I'll break up this review into 2 sections.  the campaign (don't worry, I won't give away to much story line) and Multi-player

Campaign:
This campaign rocked my socks, like the loading screens between the mission actually enhance the story line, so if you skip them you are missing a good section of the story. This isn't one of those straight foreward campaigns' where you can predict everything that is going to happen at the beginning of the game like you can call out who dies and what not.  Treyarch did a really good job of not letting that happen.  The story kept me engrossed till the very end, literally till like the last second of the final cinematic.  And then my mind exploded cause of what happened.

Multiplayer:
SO this is where the heart of the COD series shines, literally multi-player makes this game legit, and while I may not be that good at it. I still have one helluva good time playing it. Cause I mean, how fun would it be to run around with an RC car with C4 strapped to it, and then when you cruise by somebodies feet hit the detonate button and blow them sky high? I mean that would be COOL!  So as most of you who follow COD stuff, you know that Tactical Nuke is gone, which is a major benefit, but they did bring back the dogs.  Now, before you freak out and say "OMG OMG OMG IT'S WORLD AT WAR ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!!" stop and listen, while the attack dogs are back, they are extremely hard to get, as its a kill streak of 11, and your previous kill streak kills, do not count toward this total.  So getting 11 kills in a row is not an easy feat.  I've seen them call in a total of twice in multi-player.  So don't fret, they are not the end of the world.  Now on the other hand the RC car can be a major pain in the butt, its just this little nimble thing that comes around the corner and BOOM your gone. I'm not calling it cheap, just saying its a creepy, sneaky SOB that is out to kill ya.

Over all, multi-player is a blast and would almost be worth the price of the game for that alone, so this is all my tired brain can think of right now.. so this is where I shall end it.  I shall try to make posts more often that maybe don't have as much useless crap on them, maybe ones that are more concise and short and all that goodness.  Just let me know if you wanna see something change here. so tada!

Over and out, time to pass out!

I was lost but now I'm found (poem)

As I lay here and think, my hand uncontrollably shakes

Nothing on earth seems like it will be able to stop this quake

I can't get it to stop, I can only sit and stare and my hands shiver

Moving faster than any fast flowing river.

I look all around me to see whats within my sight

Nothing in the place is as it should be, this can't be right

The colors seem to be off, everything seems even more backwards

I look down at the floor, and all I can find is the cracks in the boards.

Can this be an image of what my life is like?

Everything is fine from a distance, but up close it looses its might

This isn't who I grew up to be, what has happened to me

Is this some kind of messed up reality?

I try my best to get to the bathroom

I can't stand up, so I scoot across the floor like a broom

I grip the counter with my last ounce of strength

It almost seems as though my arms don't have the length.

I drag myself up, to peek into the mirror

What I see could be true, it isn't me what-so-ever.

I can't do it anymore, I lose my grip and slide to the ground

All I can do is lay there, in the shape of a human mound.

I hear the key in the lock, I feel that key turn and click

I see everything happening in slow motion, like a cigarette flick

And all I can do is lay there helpless, and just stare in your direction

Will you see me and help me is all I can question.

I feel the slap of your shoes on the floor, as you run

And the next thing I know you have me and saying "hun."

I soon notice that in my arm the quake you have stopped

You were the drug that I needed free this lock.

The feel of your hands in mine is a new sensation each time

Something much better than any rhyme

The smell of you is oh so sweet

Better than any flower that you could find on each street.

I slowly start to feel my strength come back

Lifting me up off the ground, like a car is lifted by a jack

I can feel the love in every work you speak

Holding all of it in, trying so hard not to let any leak.

This is the moment that I know your the one

You've are the girl who made my mind go round and round it spun

Everything in life is going back to the way its supposed to be

And from there I know and you were meant to be with me.

I pick my self up off the floor because now I can stand

I got the nerve to stand up and be a man

Take the courage I need, to be there for the woman I love

And not just be there for a second, like a dove.

The lean in, the slow approach, the soft and gentle kiss

This is all it takes to show that you've brought me bliss

Wraping arms around her, and slowly lead her to the door

Onto the porch we go, cause to show her there is more.

Out there we find the bench swing

Right then and there I know the times right, I kneel and pull out the ring

The look on her face is one of shock

But the sound of her gasp I know her socks I have just rocked.

As the light rain begins to fall, she nods and says yes

For there we sit for a bit, and my lips to hers I do press

Nothing could make either of us more excited, nothing at all

And there we sit, cuddled together just watching the rain fall.

Another Poem, Why not?

So.. Since I haven't really accomplished much in life recently I'd figure I'd write you another poem, its not as happy as the last post, in fact some might find it down right depressing, but hey.  We can't be happy all the damn time, myself included.

Watching the beautiful colors in life fade
Removing all that effort I so strongly made
Losing all that I worked for
Like heat escaping out an open door

I race to stop it from going down the drain
But no idea works that comes to my brain
All I can do is sit and watch
As all my hard work turns out to botch

So behind the locked door I sit
With a feeling that no key will ever fit
To unlock the secrets behind lock and key
The only thing between you and the real me

Oh how I hope you find the device to open the magic lock
To rid me of this ever ticking clock
The sound that reminds me of many things I lack
Ever reminding me that I'm not on track

So please rescue me from the dark and dreary place
To let my mind rest from its endless thought race
Removing the ball and chain from my heart and soul
So that my heart no longer beats after you like a fool

Because no matter what I seem to do
To notice me it never seems to be enough for you
I could just be doing everything, even jump in the air
But I would still be less interesting than the fair

So hand over the key to a girl who wants my heart
Who won't throw it in a blender from the very start
A certain somebody who will lay out in the sun
And together we can have lots of fun

So for now I cast out my line
Wait and see if my bait a girl it will find
All I can do now is hope and pray
That my love will soon come my way.


By the way, you can share these if you feel.  Or share my blog in general, I don't care.  IF you think somebody would like any part of anything, just show it to em.

Ignored for so long, but not any longer!

I know that I have neglected this blog over the past while, especially the summer.  And for that I am sorry blog and fellow blog readers.  So since I can't really think of a good topic to write on, I'm just going to write a poem. Its not going to be anything of ridiculously good quality, but its what I've got.  You can give you feed back if you want, or sit in silence. your choice.  Just don't be hatin' (okay a little hate is okay, just not like a whale portion of hate.)


The sound of the rain as it pours from the sky
Glimmering as it reflects off her eye
Making her face look so soft and pure
Softer than even rabbits fur

The gentle look on her face
Is one that I'll never be able to erase
I just wish she'd turn to look at me
for then my mind would be set free

I'd tell her all the things I've wanted say
To make her world more blue than grey
To show her how I really feel
But my love for her inside me behind a seal

So here I stand looking deep into her eyes
Wanting to say these things so bad I could cry
But here I stand in silence just looking
As the rain down the pane keeps rolling

Just when I had about given up
Into my my eyes she does look
A connection so simple, but so strong
Is one that I wish could last all night long

And almost like a summers dream
or somebodies cruel evil scheme
Into me she learns and wraps her arms around tight
So gripped on so she doesn't lose the life fight

For in this moment I could stay forever
Stay in the dream like an endless river
But I wake up just in time
So as not to end this ride

I reach around and hold her close
So that we are almost nose to nose
A moment so surreal
I can't believe that this is for real.

Almost as if she was trying to make my heart burst
In this moment she has me so immersed
A simple lean in and our lips touch
There is no way this is happening, its all to much

She takes a moment and smiles
A smile so great I would have walked a million miles
From there we take a seat at the window
and spend the rest of the day snuggled up as a duo

A little Mix of Everything.

Since I have no posted on this thingy in awhile I thought I'd just give a little recap of a lot of stuff (no, not everything, you don't get to know about all the intimate details about my life... Creepers...)

So.... since I can't remember past the last week (yes sad I know, but it happens with massive amounts of homework) I shall start there.  So since from Sunday when I woke up till Friday night, I had accumulated 18 hours of sleep total, and it made me very tired, in fact I am still kind of tired.  But my life had been consumed by homework and what not, and guess what kind it was?
...
...
...
...
If you haven't guessed by now... I've just  revoked your guessing rights...
If you guessed drawing, your wrong.  If you guessed eating, your wrong.  If you guessed com 101, your wrong. If you guessed dating, your wrong.  If you guessed programming, your right.  Because that is what takes up most of my life anyways, no matter how unfortunate that is.  But oh well, I shall live with it.  I shall get to draw, eat, comm 101, date all at a later time that isn't occupied by programming. (yeah.. that sounds really sad... I should fix that...)  So in short... Homework sucks.  And in long.... Homework sucks a lot and should be banned from the face of the earth because its most unfortunate and evil and not nice in any way shape or form.
As much as I'd like to annihilate/assassinate/bludgeon homework, I can't because I'm still required to do it for class so that I can pass and become a super duper awesome working dude that gets money, because I don't want to be a hobo when I grow up (kids, if you are thinking about being a hobo when you grow up... I suggest you change your mind, its not fun.  Pick a new profession, one that is fun, like..... uh... PILOT!)



So... now. Onto Monday, actually... I don't remember Monday, I just know I have 4 classes that day, other than that... I'm drawing a blank on what happened.. darn you lack of sleep.... so I'll just say I ate food, and did homework and ate cookies, or something like that.  Just imagine its Monday for you and it should be close enough. (unless you like Mondays in which then you should think the opposite, because Mondays + me = not good.  Also, if you like Mondays, I officially hate you, but only if you consistently like Mondays)

Tuesday = same as Monday, except I DIDN'T SLEEP! AT ALL! Stupid programming.. if you haven't realized it by now, when I program, I don't sleep much...

Wednesday:  Wednesday was not bad, just that I didn't get to turn my program in cause it didn't work, so that was unfortunate... oh well, other than that, I liked Wednesday it was nice.  I stayed up late playing video games with poosh, we played battlefield (that will be my next blog post, the review of the actual game.) it was cool, because then it was legit and awesome.

Thursday: I don't remember what really happened... all i know is that I did a TON of sleeping, other than that... I got nothing.

Friday: YAIY! it was Friday, and it was epicly nice.  Like I spent almost all day out in the sun, it was awesome.  Played some beach volleyball and both teams sucked, but we all had fun as it was a big group of us and none of us were pro skills.  Also, Friday was the start of Mom's weekend, my mommy came to visit me, it was nice. We did all sorts of mother/son bonding stuff, well kinda. But we had fun.

Since my brain hurts from the INTENSE white background in my darkroom and its to hot to have lights on I shall call it quits on this post, and that fact its super long, so if you got this far, I give you kudos. If you did it in one sitting with out breaks.. please, get up now and do something and get a life, cause I didn't even write this in one sitting...


This post was brought you by....

The Churger: the chicken beef burger that filled my tum tum this night and made it possible for me to focus on the last little bit of this post.
Cell Phone:  It kept lighting up keeping me entertained for some odd reason and giving me the giggles, nuff said for its awesomeness.
Surround Sound:  It made my music awesomer, nothing more needs to be said about awesome music being made awesomer.



EDIT:
This happened to my room awhile ago. I just let him write it cause I was too lazy too..

Spring Break Baby!

     You probably thought that I was leaving on spring break, well... not so much. I'm already back, so you thought wrong. BAM FOOL! So here I am, sitting on my, well, not chair is a stool/nightstand in my dorm room actually, I'm not sure how this happened.. and I'm not sure how the chairs multiplied from 2 to 3 in my room and how I managed to not be in one as well. It's quiet confusing and is most unfortunate.
     Now, back to being on topic or something like that... SO, last week was my spring break, and I returned to the WONDERFUL Seattle area where my home resides.  It was nice to go home, I hung out with my friends and it was quiet awesome.  But there were 2 events that really stood out the most to me.  Seeing "She's Outta My League" and my escapade down to the mall, which kind failed, but was still fun.


     First off, we shall discuss "She's Outta My League" just one on one, actually I lied. there are probably many of you who read my blog, or I could just be fooling myself and only I read my own blog, which would make me sad, but its a possibility.  Oh well, I shall talk to my self about this movie.  Dear Self, did you liek the move? Self, yes I did, it was quiet entertaining to myself, but I also happen to be a slight fan of crude humor.  So Self, your saying that people who don't like a little dirty humor should avoid this movie, or think about watching it carefully? Why yes indeed self, thought to those who dislike slightly dirty humor might miss some of the jokes that are implied cause they don't hear it often enough.
     Okay, I"m just going to stop that cause I sound stupid, but over all I liked the movie quiet well, but like I said, if your not a fan of slightly crude humor this movie is NOT for you, I repeat NOT FOR YOU! Do you hear me? cause I'm not going to take the blame for you watching a movie you thought would be hilarious because I thought it was and you just find it repulsive or disgusting or something like that, I repeat I'm not taking that blame!  Anything I review and you go see is at your own risk... I should probably put that in big letters and with some really big word before it like disclaimer.....

*DISCLAIMER!!! I am not responsible for you not liking something I liked, even if you seem similar to me, because its just not how I roll.*


Alright, everybody got it? Good. Now, onto topic 2, the mall... and its epic fail.



     So... I have lived in the same area for a vast majority of my life, like 12 years, give or take, and I've been to this mall probably like 100 times since I was 12 for various reasons, and a decent amount of those I have driven to (okay, maybe not a decent chunk, but like at least 5 times.)  But on this epic day, I was escapading down there with my friend code named Liquid Lemon, and I decided that I was going to take directions from her, this was indeed a poor life choice as we ended up driving around for an hour trying to find this stupid mall, and I ended up on the free way thats on the other side of the freaking city, so I managed to get ALL the way through the town and NOT find the mall, it was fail.  At this point we decided to give up and return back home to give it another shot from scratch, but I took a wrong exit that put is back in town....
     I thought as we approached the end of the exit ramp that I knew where I was and decided that I was going to be the savior and get us to the mall with out a stupid GPS or having to go all the way back home, as you have probably guessed at this point that this is not how the story ends, in fact I probably ended up the furthest from the mall as I had been all day...  I was next to a freaking air strip.  Yes, I was looking for a mall and found the GYNORMUS Boeing Field... Yes, I couldn't find a mall with a bunch of people but I was able to located a airstrip with like no people but flipping huge planes, go figure right?
     Okay, so skip ahead to us ACTUALLY getting to the mall, now what on earth would a boy do there?  sit outside the shops and watch a girl shop? Oh hecks no, I dive right in and do some shopping myself.  there were 2 stores that stick out in my mind.  JCPenny, and PINK (yes the Victoria's secret one, I am manly enough to enter that store.)
     So, at JCPenny I managed to score myself some new shorts, since idaho summers are blazing hot and it feels like I'M ON THE SURFACE OF THE FREAKING SUN! It's just uncool to be that hot, hahah get it? Wow, that was bad, I need to not try to be funny... cause that just turned out bad.  But seriously, when I came here, moving into my dorm room, the sun was trying to cook me like its breakfast, the small little people on the street and I was like the sausage link or something. I was ordered to well done and cooked all the way through with an internal temperature of a KATRILLION degrees, almost as hot as a Hot Pocket.  I also got some cool sunglasses, they are just for everywhere, cause the sun trying to fry my retina's is just uncool.

     So the second store called PINK, is indeed quiet awesome, why guys don't go in there all the time confuses me, I mean is the color really going to like kill you or something? IT IS IN YOUR BENEFIT TO GO IN!  Hell, if your single and your friend wants to go in, go in with her! there are some hot girls in there, and if your any decent at doing anything with clothes then they may WANT you to HELP THEM pick out bra's and underwear and what not, I mean is that a bad thing?  In all honesty that gives you the PERFECT CHANCE TO STARE AT A HOT GIRL!!!!!  Take this opportunity men, take it and seize what you can, you may not get another chance like it.  Plus, if your lucky you may get to do more than just stare at that hot girl, you may even snag a number and possibly get a date. My fellow guys, you have nothing to lose by going into stores like that.  Know your crap about bra's and underwear and your chances instantly multiply.
     Ladies, this advice doesn't have its reversal, guys who walk into PINK got some pretty big kahuna's, and have some self confidence. USE THIS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE!  if he know's anything (which if he has read my blog he will take the time to figure it out, guys, your mom is a good source, for bra's sorta, or get that GOOD friend that is a girl to educate you) he can help you pick out the cute/sexy bra's and underwear to impress other guys, or if your playing him, get him all riled up and think your all hot and steamy and sexy and all that jazz.  Plus, if you got a rockin' body and you want him to see it, perfect opportunity.
    Although we entered the store, we did not exit with anything, as nothing Liquid Lemon deemed was cute was in her size, and nothing in her size was deemed cute, its a classic conundrum that girls run into, they never have your size in stock, no matter what size that maybe.  And I'm sorry for you ladies about that.



     So other than that my spring break was uneventful, just fixed my computer, designed a computer for a friend, walked around some outside, and blew up some houses, ate some cookies, wrecked a couple cares, ate more cookies, etc etc.  I bet I had you aghast and blowing up houses and wrecking cares, I didn't really do those, but I did the rest.  And then I came back to moscow and went to class. Now here I am.  So nothing exciting happened since then...  So.. Tada?

Creating, Doing, Solving the Impossible

So as you know (or possibly don't know) I am in fact a CS (Computer Science, not Criminal Superstar, or Creative Star, or anything like that) Major and there for am by default a nerd(yes, I get a round of applause for figuring this out myself and not thinking i was cool, cause lets be serious, I'm not cool.) and spent ALL of today that I wasn't in class and awake (which I woke up around noon, which was very nice) working on programming, none of which was mine until about 8 at night. So I helped Prince with his C++ for an ungodly amount of time, and disliked it because even with my advanced(okay, not quiet so advanced, but better than a rocks) programming skills I still couldn't get his stupid program to run properly.... that is until I finished with mine for the night at about 10, and decided to give google one more try, and would you know that the least likely looking link would solve the problem? *now imagine this next part me talking in valley girl style* I know right? its like totally unexpected and like unbelievable and like OH MY GOD gag me with a spoon! :D *end valley girl*

So these were essentially impossible tasks, yes, I completed the impossible, do you love me yet? No? well, thats okay I guess.... *sniffle* I'll be okay I suppose... *sniffle*, no really, I'll be fine I'll just go sit in this corner over here and look into the corner and cry *sniffle*, don't mind the hysterics, I'm really fine I promise.

Now onto better topics than me crying in a corner (not really, but I had you fooled for a minute!) I have been watching mr prince man play boarderlands for the last.. well, while, I haven't kept track, but its been awhile. I unfortunately missed my time to play guitar as its not quiet hours and its now that I am doing nothing, but oh well, thats what for later in the week for, but we are headed for a weekend! A chance to finally relax and just chill out and be rested up for the next dreaded week... then.. SPRING BREAK! I are excited, can't you tell? If you wanted a paint drawn picture of me.. I'm sorry I don't have one of those right now, but I will make an emoticon version, maybe input a picture later. :D-|-<

Anyways.. I am to tired to continue on with this post, so I am going to sleep now. Good night bloggy, good night anybody who is reading this, and good night the crazy people that I hear walking down the road.

This post as been brought to you by:

HL2 cinematic mod and its flipping ridiculous download size.

Boarderlands, even though I didn't get to play it. sad face inserted here.

and Nilla Wafers, as they are just plain delicious.

P.S. I promise to review SOMETHING in my next post. and no, not a Life review, but a legit item review.

Amp, Late Night, Video Games, And The Rest Of My Weekend.

So my weekend was quiet interesting, it was filled with many a thing, and now whether or not you wanna hear about it, your gonna so.... SUCKS TO BE YOU! and if you don't wanna hear it just plug your ears and scream "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA" at the top of your lungs much like a young child and all will be fine. I promise, I'm a legit source.

Friday:

So Friday I did the whole normal routine thing; wake up, eat food that may or may not kill me, brush teeth, attempt to be awake for class, go to class half awake, finish 3 classes, eat lunch, fight off a zombie invasion, go to another class and then I'm free! well, sorta, I still have to face the wrath of homework, but we push that till Sunday, when I hope more zombies will invade before then and eat the mere existence of homework. But.. since homework is evil in its nature, would an undead eat it? cause they tend to feed on brains, and homework doesn't contain those, and its evil as well.. hmmm debate for the ages.

So.. back on topic.. After awhile I decided to consume some food (this food has the plausibility to kill me as well, like it will just stand up on my plate and be like "RAWRGHDGHSGHHAGDSH" and then attempt to eat my left arm first.) Then like the party animal I am (seriously, I'm not, I promise. Remember, I'm a legit source) I turned on some dance music, and then preceded to dance like a lunatic sorta, and Prince and Cinderella can be witnesses, so I'm a spazz, 'nuff said.

Then after awhile of jamming to music, me and prince got the bright idea to start playing boarder lands, and we figured we would stay up late to play for awhile. No biggie right? I decided to look at the clock while playing (for future reference this is a poor life choice and should never been attempted by any gamer, or anybody playing video games, ever. Its just better to be naive and just keep going) and I see is like 5:30, and I'm like "Holy crap! its like 5:30." That was kinda anti climactic wasn't it? you were expecting some spazztic freak out where I like started whithering on the floor making unidentifiable sounds that resembled a lizard and a hamster making a baby, but I didn't, sorry to all of those who are disappointed by my lack of spazztic movements at the time. I then proceeded to crawl into my bed at about 6 am, even less epic.

Saturday:

I was awakened about mid day by my lovely suite mate with a slight shake, which to my unconscious brain was something more like... "HOLY CRAP!!! This is worse than an L.A. earthquake the world is going to end. BUT.... I'm just going to ignore it and turn back off." that worked until the "earthquake" repeated and I was forced to awaken. Awesome news when I woke up "We're leaving." and in my sleep deprived state, I totally put more thought into it than I should have, and was thinking "what, they are leaving me? my totally awesome suite mate and his lady friend are going to leave me? Now I'm going to be totally alone in my dorm room and crawl into the fetal position on the floor and become a hermit and possibly magically conduct rabies and become crazy and make funny noises at people when i see them."

Which as soon as my brain had finished this statement, he decided to speak up "My friends in my home town and were going to see him, we just found out" and that totally eased me and I was much relieve to know that I was not going to start hissing at people or something. So I was bailed on for the weekend, so exciting. So I then had to entertain myself for the rest of the day, which if you think about it is not an easy task at all. I managed to create my level of trouble required for entertainment by listening to some music, and laying on my floor staring at the ceiling trying to find animal shapes (I got a lot of snakes... my ceiling is full of lots of squigilies). Other than that.. my day was very unproductive. Oh, and I watched FAME with some of my buddies, it was legit, we all had a good time. (my stereo is totally kick butt and makes movies like a katrillion times cooler to watch. You FEEL the movies instead of just hearing them!)

Sunday:

As always, Sunday to college kids is recover day and get homework done day, so that is what I did. Recover and do Homework dot dot dot, and now I'm having issues remembering my Sunday, which is quite fail, because it wasn't that long ago.. I think I may have accomplished some guitar playing and some video games on my laptop, but I can't remember... Yes, I was sober I promise. Well Anyways.... that's about all I have for the weekend.

So those of you confused by the title I chose, its kind of a mixed topic post. Its my Valentine's Day review, and Battlefield Bad Company 2 review. not related I know, but hey, what can i say, its all in a day. First topic... Valentine's Day!

Ready, GO!

So first off, those who complain about Valentine's Day being an evil day for singles, I beg to differ, and I have grounds to differ. I have spent all the V-Day's of my life (though, in reality, its not that long thinking about it...) as a single guy (yes, I Ladiesman is single) and the ones that have sucked the most, where I had nobody else to chill with.

This year, not to bad at all, quiet enjoyable actually. This year I decided to be proactive and I got some friends(Cinderella, Prince, and this girl down the hall whom I haven't given a totally new code name yet) and we all chilled in my room and watched movies. We actually watched TWO movies, I know that's a lot of movies in one night, especially since we started at 11... AT NIGHT! SCARY! but we lived, thankfully. I know right? We watched P.S. I love you followed by 27 Dresses. Everybody crashed at one point, including myself during 27 Dresses, it was sad state of affairs. Though, towards the end woke up, then we chatted after the movie ended for like 2 hours, crazy long in boy hours trust me (usually a conversation with a boy lasts like 10 minutes tops, ask any girl that has a man friend.)

Can anybody out there guess what we talked about? any takers? you in the back! No, I'm sorry, we didn't talk about a pirate ninja epic space battle, we talked about cool foods! It was awesome, cause by the time we finished, I was hungry, I mean really really hungry. I was tempted to start gnawing off my arm, much like NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM *huge breath* NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM! Now, that sounds more epic if you imagine me talking and spazzing much like the cookie monster.

Now, from here I transfer to my review of Battlefield: Bad Company 2...

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 review initiated:

When I first picked up the controller to play this demo (yes, still in demo stages) I was thinking to myself "how on earth am I going to play a flippin' shooter on a PS3 controller, its unheard of for a Play Station to be good at a shooter, the controller just isn't right for it." I was very soon proved wrong. Not only is the Play Station 3 set up well for it, but it works and the game is good!

At first go, Prince just handed me the controller and said "here, play it," with a confused look on my face, I proceeded to press a few buttons, attempted to do something totally bad ass and failed miserably. In stead I managed to run full sprint into a wall and then managed to keep magically sprinting with my face pressed so far into the wall that even the wall was like "Hey, I can see your eyeball." From there my awesome streak continued and I managed to throw a grenade into the wall which then managed to bounce THROUGH me and blow up at my feet and kill me. Not only is the humiliation of blowing yourself up not bad enough, but the game taunted me with big letters that said EPIC FAIL, and at that point I wanted to rage quit life.

But I endeared my own torture, killed myself a few more times, and by the other players. Then a miracle happened.. I capped a hoe and claimed victory! I proceeded to jump up and dance like an idiot, making a further fool of my self, but enjoyed it. I then changed magically into a sniper, don't ask me how I suddenly learned how to use a sniper rifle, but I did! Then I used this magical sniper and zoomed in an centered the reticule on a guys head and fired, I was about to scream victory, then it didn't kill them and I then was caught with a stupefied look on my face that begged to say "but.. but... but.. the thingy, it was on his face, and then I did the fire thing and it was supposed to go WHOOOOSH! and knock that stuff up... but but..." and to my avail, I was then sniped in the head. Try number 2, I aimed a little higher and I thought, maybe I had to account for gravity, BINGO! VICTORY IS MINE! capped another hoe.

Slowly and surely you soon start to develop a a nac for the, at least this game doesn't have a learning curve like your trying to climb up the side of a cliff made of ice with only a toothpick as an aide, cause that my friends, sucks. Over all the game is fantastic so far, the graphics are superb, the physics mimic real life, and everything seems to flow really well. The only thing that I see as needing adjustment is the voice over system... its spotty and have no idea how it works at all. So there you have it, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is a good game that expanded on the battlefield series with out trying to hard with all these pretty unrealistic gadgets that make the game so unbalanced because you have nukes and laser beams flying everywhere creating a path of destruction. But instead an even balance of teamwork, weaponry, and cool stuff to make it an enjoyable game, not one that you'd rather being rolling around in a pit of spikes than playing the game.

Today's post has been brought to you by: Ben and Jerry's peanut butter cup ice cream, and the movie High School Musical, and possibly by caffeine....

P.S. This post took me for freaking ever to write, that is why this is long after Valentine's Day, stupid college work...

Code Monkey:

Okay, so I lied in my last post. My bad, it took me longer than I intended for me to. so here I go!....

BLOG BLOG BLOG BLOG BLOG! all done. Just kidding.

So my topic of today's post is Code Monkeys.

First off, who makes up a word Code Monkey? Oh wait.. that would be us Computer Science people who think we are so witty all the time, but aren't really. ( I lied, we are always witty and you know it, you just don't always get it.) But in all reality, we are totally awesome and make up acronyms and all sorts of other made up words; like GUI, OOP, Code Monkey,UX, and a ton of other totally useless to non CS people words, but we don't really care.

So basically, I was a code monkey not to long ago my self. For the better part of 4 days I was holed up in my room living off mountain dew and pizza taking time to sleep only when my body yelled at me like " go to sleep now, or I will make your right foot fall off!" and didn't shower for those 4 days. I bet you all think I did that, but no, I have this wonderful skill called personal hygiene. In reality what happened was something like this... For the better part of 4 days I was holed up in my room (yes, its all the same so far, but hold with me here for the difference) living off CAFFINE (OH! LOOK A DIFFERENCE) and other assorted food items, but left my room to eat those (curse the dinning hall not having a direct tube to my room.) But had a fairly normal sleep schedule, but spent all my time programing and staring at my computer screen looking at all my errors..

The last night (the night before the program was due) I neglected to find any time to sleep, which was most unfortunate, because the rest of the day I was easily confused with a zombie, I only lacked the desire for human flesh, torn clothes, and blood stains. and then I discovered the most wonderful thing at 2:30 that afternoon... ready for it... NAP TIME! I felt like I was in heaven, I laid down and was out cold in under 2 minutes. Which soon after which, maybe 3 hours later I was promptly woken by Cinderella and her man friend prince charming to consume more food.

Okay, so that was a tangent that I really don't want to continue on, so I shall now return to the subject of code monkey, and how some points in my life I am one. As one of my stunning discoveries at some ridiculously late hour while being a code monkey I discovered that Code Monkey's across the world need their own theme song, cause currently, there is none, and they put in tons of effort. SO here is my best effort at making my own, I'll soon think of real world song. but here is mine.

Bum BUM DIDDIE LEE BUM BUM! bu bu bumdidibum bum da da do do di da do grra rawr!

I know, you all probably wanna steal it and turn it into sony.. BUT DON'T IT'S MINE!

Back to Code Monkey's again... so since I am still a CS major, I will probably transform into Code Monkey again once more soon (yes, its an epic transformation,) so give me the benefit of the doubt and don't think I'm the stereo typical nerd who doesn't understand the intricacies of life, don't believe me? ask Cinderella.

Okay, that is all I have for now, I'll probably end up going uber nerd and doing my review of Battlfield: Bad Company 2 next time (yes, I've been playing that "stupid" demo for a couple days now.) So count on that, until next time..... Sleep well?

Long nights and longer days

The days that I am working on my work seem to be getting longer and longer, leading into the nights and depriving me of the sleep that I love so much, but currently don't get enough of. Like currently I will be waking in 6 hours, and yet, here I am writing this blog McJigger to ya. Oh curse the life of college.

Today has been an interesting day (well, technically it was yesterday because I wrote this at 1 a.m... for those who want a early update time, I'm sorry, maybe I can make your day brighter by you reading it in the morning! :D ) I was lucky enough to get to sleep in til about 10 a.m. which was more fortunate, but was slightly depressed to know that lunch indeed didn't start until 11, but I was hungry at the time, so I went back to my room to eat a cookie, it was delicious. From there I preceded to play Prince Charming and Cinderella's PS3 (which currently lives in my room, I am tempted to name the PS3 Shelia after the tank lady in Red vs. Blue, because they are both beastly machines.) Which that ended about 11:20, which I then went to go eat lunch, which I saw my friend exit as I entered. I then ate, as soon as I finished I was informed by a friend they wanted to eat with me. failure timing on my part.

Then for the next 5 hours of my life I was a nerd and was doing coding, yeah, fun stuff i know. so intriguing. then came my comm class, that was interesting. We were doing group speeches today, which we only got to prep at the beginning of class, suckage. My group of all guys got to support the notion of Octomom in a bikini, we didn't do to bad.

Also I have recently re-discovered the awesomeness of my headphones and how well they reproduce sound in my music, its epic. like my ears are happy to have them on. (for more than one reason, but I will not touch there)

I just preceded to look at the clock, its now 1:11, I am up way to late.. but I feel a strong desire to finish this post...

So, pretty much. I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to write in this thingy, and I'm not particularly fond of this being like an online journal for all to read, I want this to be epic... So if there is a particular thing that you think I could use this for that I would enjoy, leave a comment or something, or how ever this thing works... Like Idea's that I have so far are:

My adventures as a gamer.

Ridiculous shenanigans I find.

A far out review/view of topics that ya'll give me. (so like an example would be "What do you think of the new twilight movie, or how would you describe what watching paint dry is like, pretty much just a topic with a general direction to let me brain just go on ridiculous, but funny direction)

I'm pretty much looking for any help here. email works too (I think you have access to finding out what mine is... well.. if not I'll fix that later...) and i'll be posting a entry about me soonish (not like a month from now, I promise!) to see if that gives you any ideas.
