oh how i love thee...

contrary to what the title might imply, this post is not about love. or thee. or perhaps it is, and i'm just trying to sidestep the topic at hand.

there're are a few points i want to make, you can read that as, 'a few things i want to ramble about'...

first, for the none of you that care, i am taking some vacation time for the first time in years. yes, you read that correctly, years. apart from the lag between jobs, lasting perhaps two to four days on a budget consisting of waiting for a final paycheck, and waiting for a first paycheck, i have not had any real time off. you might ask yourself, or, i might ask for you, as you aren't really reading this anyway: what are you going to do with this time off? i'll answer that one simply: nothing. i don't have any real concrete plans. i hope to spend some time with my children, and friends, and apart from that, however, i am not doing anything at all, except cooling off from work. i'm pretty burnt out, and it's definitely beginning to show (ask my superiors who i've been yelling at, or my colleagues, who i've been yelling at, or my customers, who don't exist, because i've been yelling at them). the bottom line is that i am going to try and relax a little. i deserve it. fuckers.

next, wow, i love the show heroes. now, if you know me, and none of you do, all 0 of my readers are fairly unfamiliar with me, but, if you know me, i'm a big comic book nerd. i have thousands of dollars (wasted in some eyes) worth of comic books. i haven't collected in several years, but, the bottom line is that, i love comics. i love reading them, writing them, pretending like i can draw them, colouring them... love love love love. heroes, therefore, is a natural body for me to gravitate towards. the story pops, the characters are intriguing, they are doing a phenominal job at keeping the pace without revealing too much. you have fun, you have thrills, you've got it all. if you haven't watched it yet, do yourself a favor, and get 'er done! if you never give it a chance, you might not ever know the depths to which you'd sink for it! ;)

you can see the last episode online at nbc.com or else, find a good invite only bit torrent site, and download all of the episodes so far (i call it my selective tivo... but shh... don't tell anyone, bittorrent is bad, mmkay?)

deftones released a new album??? omfgbbq!!!, why did noone tell me about it... i'm glad they didn't as i would have been waiting like a lunatic for it, which is bad, because i suck at anticipation (has my vacation started yet???). well, i have it, it makes me happy, and that's all i care about. it's good, not as great as their old stuff, but far better than their last album, even if the production value's not quite the same level. there's a really vile track called pink cellphone, which is just awful, i encourage you to check that out, in all its horrible glory (have i mentioned bittorrent?), also, there's a track called u, u, d, d, l, r, l, r, a, b, select, start, which, has had a hand in my nostolgic video game phase i recently found myself in... more about that in a moment... if you aren't familiar, this would be the infamaous konomi code (remember gradius, maybe?), it would be up up down down left right left right b a select start. there are many various konami slipped into various games, like the teenage mutant ninja turtles 2, which was, iirc, up up down down left right left right b a start... super gradius for the snes was up up down dwon left right l r b a start, and there were a couple variants on that. however, remembering that i haven't played these games since i the snes was popular, i might be a bit off base there.

i love super mario bros. there's nothing like playing the classic 8 bit beauty like this, and, being one of the few people you know that is a aware of not only the minus world, but how to get there. and duckhunt, omg, i just wanted to cap the shit out of that stupid dog when he laughs at you. so what if i missed a duck you fuckface, i'm holding the grey (or bright orange) plastic gun! i'm excited for the wii... nintendo should be recognized as my first real love. i had a subscription to nintendo power for christ's sakes. i still find myself humming the theme to the legend of zelda, or whistling the mario theme... worst part about mario, is that i change from world 1-1 to 2-1 almost in real time, as is used to sound when i got there, sometimes i throw in the sound of the pipes too... ba ba ba babababa ba da ba bada ba ba bababum, do do dodo doot doot... wtf?

battlefield 2142 dropped... wow, i'm not spending money on that. but i'll get around to it. looks great, but waaay more involved than i can be on a multi-player game. i wish i had the time to devote to the old 10 hour straight gaming sessions. seriously, i thought i was making real friends. i wonder what happened to folks like hudson, and shibby, and sadistic, and thundercatt, and all the other retarded as handles people i knew used, of course, i still keep in touch with a lot of people from my 'video game days', and i still play enough video games to keep myself pasified, but, i don't play online much anymore. i'm wondering how long 'til i've reverted myself back to full fledged z00b? i can just be an npc, does that count???

so, it occurs to me, that i will soon officially roll over to 26, which means, i'm on the slippery slope to 30... fuck. that just sucks. i'm gonna be officially old soon, and i can already feel myself losing touch with so many of the youngens... dammit. i wanna be a hip dad, not the dad who wants to be hip, but the one that actually is. shitcockballs! oh well, i figure, i'm getting too old to care though, right?

ever notice that fuck is truly the most versatile word, i can't get over it. well, it's not a word so much as a mis-used acronym; forbiddden unlawful carnal knowledge... but still. it's awesome.

enough about that. why do i feel the way i do. why am i so indecisive. why am i such a chicken? i'm not really... but i am. i wanna just say this is what i want, let's do it. but whatever. i suck at life. forgive my rambling...

i'm going to answer my bed, she's been calling, and i need to get back to her.

goodnight fuckers! ;)
