LJ mood: VERY ANGRY WHY AM I SO ANGRY WTF IS GOING ON WITH THE ANGER?!?!?!?

There are many reasons why i'm doing this name thing i got from devoidofnoise instead of writing about how i feel. I wrote about a hundred words in Oral Tradition about how education is just a giant blowjob to faculty members who waste their time thinking that their knowledge of ANYTHING will benefit us, the students. I am completely enraged. I blame Tyler Durden.

There is no cow limit

I don't know what the title means, but i said it anyway.
It's frikkin freezing mister bigglesworth, i'm wearin my frikkin sobe beanie and i'm STILL freezing my frikkin buns off. Shark and I are going to the Devendra Banhart concert tomorrow night and i'm eagerly anticipating the event due to my excited preparededness. wee!

I watched Samurai 7 vol. 2 on DVD last night and it was amazing. I want more...now...give it to me. I've also played Shadow of the Colossus and it's jawdroppingly beautiful. I read a review today that says the hardware holds it back, and i couldn't agree more. PS2: sucks donkey balls. XBox: better than ps2.

I got a new cell phone...again. I shall represent my "new phone" transition with links.
LG9100 that i got on Oct. 8th

Nokia 6102 that came out Oct. 10th

THE STORY!
So i went in on Oct. 8th and got a new fone because my samsung P.O.S. was giving me a lot of crap that.... i wanted a new phone. So mom and dad said go and get a new one and consider it a birthday present. (point of interest, mom and dad never know what to get me for b-day/xmas because they consider video games to be the downfall of pibbilization... so them allowing me to buy my own gift is HOPEFULLY something that they will recognize as their best bet at giving me presents that i want) Anyway, last week i went to a cingular store with Kendra on her birthday to help her choose a phone and a phone plan. In the store, i saw a Nokia flip phone (see above) that was just ...err... perfect? In any case, i liked it more than my sliding LG. So i asked the dude when it had come out and he was like "yeah we JUST got those.. and we're sold out". So yarg! That was friday. On sunday, shark and i went to cracker barrel like a couple of old farts and after dinner i was showing off and my LG flew OUT of my pocket (wtf) and slid across the parking lot. It became instantly scratched to hell. THIS EVENT SPURRED DECISION TO GO BACK AND SAY "EFF YOU" to the LG and trade it out for the nokia... this is a long and boring and pointless story but oh well. The lady at cingular made a big deal out of the scratches but it REALLY didn't matter because i was within the 30 day trial period thing and they HAD to take it back... otherwise i'd burn down the building and pee on their graves after raping their pets. So i got a new fone and have used www.freeringers.net to convert MP3 songs into ringtones. It's $8 for an unlimited number of rings/images/anythings. So i think that it is well worth it because if i hadn't spent it there, then i would have spent close to $20 buying ringtones that SUCK off of the stupid MediaMall on my phone. I'm ending this story now.

Go look at my new phone and be envious. *gloats giggles plays with phone and then notices he should be studying*

I saw Doom this weekend too. I liked it. I am almost ashamed to say that i REALLY liked it. It was a good time to see a scary movie and Doom was that and more. The First-Person scene was amazing and i had to blink to understand that i was in a theater and NOT moving my hands over aswd + mouse controls. It was cool. The guy OTHER than the rock was the dude who played Eomer in LOTR... so that was weird because he had short dark hair instead of long, middle-earthy hair... and he was horseless. But anyway, if you love FPshooters, then go check it out, it's not bad.

I love shark. She makes me feel like sunshine. She is also really really pretty.

OMFG QUIZZES!

The Boy Next Door
Random Gentle Love Dreamer (RGLDm)

Kind, yearning, playful, you are The Boy Next Door. You're looking for real Love, a lot like girls do. It might not be manly, but it's sweet.

We think the next three years will be very exciting and fruitful ones for you. Your spontaneous, creative side makes you a charming date, and we think you have a horny side just waiting to shine. Or glisten, rather. You enter new relationships unusually hopeful, and the first moments are especially glorious. If you've had some things not work out before, so what.

Your exact opposite:
The 5-Night Stand

Deliberate Brutal Sex Master
On paper, most girls would name the Boy Next Door as their ideal mate. In the real world, however, you're often passed over for more dangerous or masculine men. You're the typical "nice guy:" without just a touch of cockiness, you're doomed with girls. A shoulder to cry on? Okay, sure. But never a penis to hold.

More than any other type, Boys Next Door evolve as they get older. As we said, many find true love, but some fail miserably in the search. These tarnished few grow up to be The Men Next Door, who are creepy as hell, offering backrubs to kids and what not.

autumnal octumbre

I swear, every single leaf changed colors in one night last night. Friday? meh... a little change... Saturday? hardly noticeable....um... ok, so i slept through Sunday, but anyway my point:

ALL THE LEAVES ARE CHANGING COLORS

And it looks gorgeous. It's like somebody is doing a portrait of my campus with new colors and paints and um... paint. And the leaves from the tree in front of my place fell off at the same time and it's incredible to see the tree that was a vibrant dark green just a week ago turn into the yellow and morose skeleton that is losing so many leaves so quickly that it looks like it's exploding into the wind. WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It's pertty.

Shark and I saw "Waiting..." starring ryan reynolds and dane cook. It was rated R. It was rated R for a reason. There are some substatially disgusting and disturbing images in this movie. But it is also one of the crudest and most hilarious movies in that respect.

Thursday - Girls vs. UT girls - TIED
Friday - Big 12 relays - MEN = 1st-UT 2nd-Mizzou 3rd-A&M
WOMEN = UT,A&M,Mizzou,Kansas,Nebraska,Iowa State
Saturday - Mizzou vs. A&M and A&M vs. Kansas - Mizzou men defeated a ranked texas A&M. A&M women beat both kansas and mizzou.

We pwned those bitches....PWNNNEDDDDDDDDDDZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. They won ONE EVENT, the 50-free, and only by 4 hundreths. In diving, I won both boards, and Boyko got 3rd on 3 meter and 2nd on 1 meter. We seriously pwned them. There were a variety of other pwnishings like getting 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in some swimming events but i don't know exactly which ones. I am so proud of my team, we have never beaten A&M since I can even remember in the history of the program. This is something that the team has been talking about for years and now it has finally been achieved. We are determined to beat A&M again at conference and I KNOW we can do it because we just did. They had better be ready for the PAINNNNNNNNNN BITCHESSSZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzomargz

Ok i have go to read Gilgamesh and the Odyssey for ORAL.

Eem Goona Kilju

I was sitting in Oral Tradition and my mind wandered. I started blogging it, then deleted it thinking "this is stupid". Now i sit here thinking... nothing at all.

Peter Jackson is producing the Halo movie. This is cray cray. The special effects crew that made LotR is now doing the effects/enviros/characters for the most-anticipated-videogame, movie.

Do you ever feel your creative juices flowing... then like a light rainfall they stop flowing and the skies clear up to boring blue+clouds? It's like my IQ is dropping after every word i type here. NURRRRRRRR

Advance Wars 2 is still amazing. And yeah that sentence sucked so i'm ending this post.

sorta....

DAMMIT!
I'M SO A.D.D.! I had to return my gamefly games today, so i'm sad about that.

Reevaluated Abilities

My words with Illiana: ceased.

My arrogance was masked by my "duty" to stand up for my home boy Omar. It ain't be like dat. His family is all he's got, knowwhatimsayin'?

Every family has it's hardships and blessings. Each family is unique in those respects, and those be damned who try to discern right from wrong within a family outside of his/her own.

ceased.

I got a new phone *beams*. It's got a slide-out qwerty keypad in it, assuming the owner of the phone uses text messages emphatically, occasionally, and prolifically? Anyways, it's bigger, newer and louder than the old phone, so CHEERS! The number is still 573-999-PIBB. So don't freak out or even ask me if it's different because i just told you.

I'm buckling down on schoolwork as hard as I can, which is weird because i'm the one pushing myself right now instead of somebody else saying "YOU HAVE GOT TO STUDY THIS BEFORE THIS DATE AND COVER THIS MATERIAL AND READ THIS AND GO TO CLASS AND THEN BE ON TIME AND BRING THIS BOOK TO BLAHBLAHBLAH" so yeah, it's time to beef up the GPA.

The diving meet this weekend was ROUGH. I dove like shit, i felt like shit, but at least i didn't LOOK like shit! Our new team warmups are so soft and smooth and comfortable that i wore them all weekend around my apartment (which has somehow resumed it's "victimized" look) with shark. I've got to return Psychonauts and Darkwatch soon unless i want to be charged with the full price. I can't say enough about Psychonauts: it's an amazing game. Darkwatch is just a good shooter, but the controls really REALLY deterred me from even WANTING to continue playing. The vampire skills weren't as outrageously advantageous as I had hoped, and some of the graphics hit my eye with the subtlety of a line-drive foul ball. Psychonauts really really really gets it right. Darkwatch gets a poop award for C minus-dom.

That's all I can really say about video games for now, and for a while... because I really can't spend my time playing too many games. Even Advance Wars 2, which I have been punching through day by day, has not accumulated much playtime. School is on the front 3 burners, while games are on the heatlamp in the corner (diving is on the little burner in the back, boiling fanatically). This is sad for me, because I love video game culture and everything about it.... or.... i love everything about video games and video game culture surrounding it.... and games.... and the webcomics.... and the message boards.... and kitty ears.

Finally, i'mma get down to the people that matter. My family.
My parents came to the meet this weekend, and my uncle Jim was there too, which was cool because he hasn't seen me dive since high school HAHA! But just having them there and waving to them and hearing them cheer me on even though my legs were dead, my back was tightening like fishing wire, my neck pounding on my skull like a subtle firecracker and my shit of a foot about to explode... it's nice to know that they enjoy seeing you try your hardest, and will be there to congratulate you even if you don't get 2nd place.

Hooray feel good
hooray Monday
hooray anticipation of Friday's meet (not... my body needs rest)
hooray learning about sunspots, greek pots, oral traditions, and dionysian festivals
hooray October and it's solemn cracking and decaying
hoo - ray Samurai 7 dvd #2 on the 18th! SHINY DAN, WEEL: ASSEMBLE!

Post number CD, or CCCC

Roman numerals are fun

I HAVE WRITTEN 400 BLOG POSTS IN THE PAST 3 YEARS.
FOUR HUNDRED!!!

Though it's not technically 3 years, it's close. I started blogging on my 19th birthday in 2002, and have been posting daily/weekly/monthily ever since. I could do a schematic of which posts were the shortest ("I farted.") which posts were the longest (favorite song by your favorite band, when you first heard it, and who you heard it with: OMFG JINGLE BELLS AT GRANDMA'S LAST YEAR). I'm not going there, and that's not what I want to post about.

I have two hands.

If these hands can defeat Alma , Gannondorf, Bowzer, Sebulba, Master hand (and polygon team), and General Sturm and the entire black hole army, then they can take notes for a 50-minute class. These hands have done wall-flips, impossible back quadruples, stuck an elite from 200 yards, and aced a game-set-match point against Mario. If scribbling inisignificant words on a page seems rather seems dull, then excuse my overactive imagination.

I can no longer excuse my inaction while in class. I have done rather poorly on this first wave of tests, and am taking steps to do exponentially better. It sucks. But at least there's a goal more rewarding than saving some fruit-named princess. I have a life, but right now it's on the back burner. Celebrate post #400 for me while I suffocate under the weight of soon-to-be tutors and study hall hours.

My sister turned 17 last week too.
One day, she will rule us all.... except Alma.
