There are few things that piss me off the world. I think this is stepping over the line a bit. Seeing how the business that someday I would like to control are being idiots, I feel it is my duty to speak as much shit as possible about the people who are controlling it now. Here is the news. Of course if you don't like DragonBall then you can disregard all this stuff. Well I guess you can imagine what I'm about to say. Now some of you may have heard about this Live Action DBZ movie a while ago. I just had it confirmed today.

So let me get this straight. How about we get the Matrix people to copy and paste the special effects engine they built for the Matrix. Except that instead of using "Whoa" Keanu Reeves of Dogstar fame or whatever the fuck his stupid band is called and we will replace him with none other than Freddie Prinze Jr. who seemed awefully "high" on Leno the other night. I can see it now. Freddie shouting out and turning blond just like it was Scooby Muta Fucka Doo. Since we already doomed this franchise by actually making it live action lets keep tossing shit in the toilet until it builds up so high that when we wipe we get shit on our hands. The green-olive kind that just doesn't look right, but smells even worse. How about we get some stupid fuck like Shane West to be Vegeta. Oh yeah...the new Mr. Bad Boy of Hollywood. I can see those two fucks going at it DBZ styles. As director I would obviously split the screen down the middle like Bandai games to add to the DBZ universe.

Ten bucks says that the producers did not even look at the Manga and just found out that "hey this can be good, I mean shiet we are doing Akira...lets keep taking it to those Nips for Pearl Harbor". Whatever. Now obviously some of you may not be DBZ fans, but I like it. I like the fast action, the stupid lines, the ever growing Genki Damas, but fuck. Maybe Jim Carrey can be Buu. He can wear a trashbag and be painted pink to add to the effect. I bet Dawson is going to be Trunks with Kirsten Dunst rounding out 17. Rejoice Hollywood. You just fucked up another otherwise cool series. Last I checked Street Fighter wasn't a good idea. I can't until I see Ranma 1/2 go live. Should be fun.

So here is the breakdown of some scripts I got.

Drug ridden Modesto with teens running around looking for shit to do. How does it end? Didn't even finish it.

A new recruit faces a decision of a lifetime. Stay with the boot camp or go home defeated by himself. Whee.

One that sounds actually cool. A girl recieves a letter after 40 years that never made it to her. It is a letter from her boyfriend telling her to meet her at 6:00...40 years ago. In the end it turns out the guy has been waiting at that spot for 40 years. Kinda remind me of that Days Go By song.

Three idiots are faced with the difficult decision of who is going to take one for the team. What kind of name is Larry anyways...and this one has way too much cussing in it to be effective. I liked it.

Alright that's all for now. Anyone got 3000 dollars you can loan me so I can buy my Mac? Oh yeah and I miss Girl's Club. Haha. Its not funny.

until i get a PS2...or a game for my comp...

no more video game talk. EVER. Heheh. jk.

UNLESS of course, you have accomplished a perfect game on pacman..and make a neighborhood..oopz i mean WORLD-WIDE known hot sauce. So world wide known that you have to go the fucking super markets and rearrange the bottles. Loser. Also, you have had to deal with the pacman groupies. Man that must be hard, loser. Also, you have had to have used the pick up line "Quarter??? I'm on the same MAN baby!!". Yeh i'm sure when you tell the ladies that you've gotten every energizer in one game of pacman..wow..the panties must be soaked. Good one, loser. Also, wear a mullet. Loser. And gay ass ties, loser. Also, talk about how ur gonna set this crazy video game record by playing a perfect game of defender or burger time. Loser. Oh, and while ur at it, you can set a world wide record for spending the most years as the biggest fucking loser in the world.

{this joke will be completely misunderstood unless you have watched BLuckz tape on the MTV real life "I'm a gamer"...look for the loser...oh wait that's all of them. okay..look for the loser who plays the pacman game. There's no loser like a cocky loser}

I love being an asshole. But only to those who deserve it.

BTW, i'm a big fucking loser too, so this is why i can talk shit about all the other losers out there.

Okay so everything is back to normal. Well not with some of my stupid family members. Whatever. I'm tired of it. I hope you guys don't think I was really stressing about it all. I know it came off harsh, but you know me. I only care for myself. So that whole thing was mainly there because I thought you guys might find it funny. In a certain way I hope some of my family members that were written about see it. This oughta be a lot of fun. Oh yeah. Restraining Order: DENIED. Thanks for the laughs you stupid bitches. Don't ever cross my eyeline. I don't really know how I'm going to ignore the fat herd when I get to Fresno...but I figure I can look at them and be thankful I'm not that stupid.

So back to normal. I got Zelda. Beat Zelda last Friday. Good game. Few complaints though. Our dear friend Andy had some words with me about Zelda as well. He doesn't mind the minor setbacks. I do.

Sailing around is overrated. If you are a hardcore Zelda fan you like dungeons. You like solving puzzles in those dungeons. Where the fuck are my dungeons in WindWaker. Well they are gone. Okay there are a few...but when I say few I mean like five. The first three just act as tutorials for the game. And the last dungeon...with the title Ganon's Tower I would have liked to see a Tower. With multiple enemies. Multiple rooms. Multiple puzzles. You should not be able to pass that final dungeon in less than an hour on your first try. Simple as that.

Second gripe is that it is too easy. Hey you touch lava you lose a quarter heart. You fall off a cliff you lose a quarter heart. You drown you lose a quarter heart. Thanks I got like 16 full hearts. I think I can manage a little more damage. Shit even if I took massive damage...every enemy gives me full health after they die anyways. Oh yeah and Ironknuckles are pussies in this game. I guess all the water got to their brains.

Side quests. Andy is a sidequest whore. He past GTA:Vice City again. Shit I'll give him respect. That's a huge game and he completed 100 percent of it. Props to that. But Zelda is not about sidequests. Andy tried to argue that the old Zelda's had sidequests. Hardly. If you take all the sidequests in all Zelda affiliated games and times them by two, you are still not near what Windwaker offers you. So why do I not like sidequests...AHA I never said that. What I'm saying is that Zelda is not about sidequests. Don't screw with a series. If you do you might as well make Mario a simulator about dressing Mario up in different clothing stores. It could work. Shigeru...you had your fun with sailing...but get back to what Zelda is. A solid action RPG...don't add time to a game by making us sail everywhere and bog us down with collecting heart pieces we don't need.

I don't care what Andy thinks. He has to concede that Zelda has been Final Fantasized. This means (and you have to have at least played more than a couple of Final Fantasy games to believe me on this one) that the sidequests take away from the overall story of the game and make the game way too easy. Don't believe me. In the Final Fantasy games where I got Ultimate Weapons and Ultimate Summons: Game easier than fuck. Zelda same way. Now of course so I don't get blindsided by some arguments I will say that the sidequests are cool. Yet one of the sidequests is just like Pokemon Snap for the N64. The other requires finding heart pieces that you will not need. A lot of them don't add to the story and aren't a puzzle to get. They are just there for you to find. I got bored with it.

So Zelda is dope. I will give you that. I am a very dedicated Zelda fan. I might be called a "fanboy" when it comes to this cherished series...all I'm saying is that the Zelda universe is heading in the right direction...I just think that it took an exit to early. Smash all the little pussy islands together and you get the size of the map in the original Zelda. Either way, the end is dope. The last boss is dope. The graphics are dope. Running errands instead of Zelda-esque game play is bullshit.

Evanescense. I told Bryant that if LP threw out talent and replaced Chester with Enya you got Escense. It'll grow on me though. Of course LP isn't the first to define this genre of music but everytime I hear it...it just sounds like a rip of LP with subtle nuances. They got a track on their album called "October"...I told B that they should just change it to "My October". Who the fuck are they kidding.

As to Jon's question: You always settle. I don't care who you are. If I was dating Kristin Kreuk right now and she was all over me...I bet my ass that I would still think that there is something out there rather than a Canuck. But that is me. I hope I don't "settle" in the most negative definition. But I think everyone settles for something. Posing a question like that is impossible to answer. Of course Jon the logical one will think otherwise. Remember not everyone is like you or anyone else for that matter. My definition for settle still involves being happy. Yet it is human nature to always wish for more. If you never settle then you will never reach any goals and you will feel like a complete failure in life. Makes sense? I doubt it. Then again you are not me. See I told you. Different shit for all of us. BTW Bryant will be married soon. T-Bola has her clutches around him too much. Have fun buddy. Let's drink till our hearts stop!

So this whole conversation that Jon and I had about actresses got me thinking a little bit. Everyone knows the usual girls that we believe are cute. Kristin/Olivia for me. Halle Berry for Jon. TBola for Bryant...BUZZ incorrect. She is not an actress...get her ass outta here now. Bryant likes Kristin/Katie that girl from 10 Things. Well whatever. So we all know the popular choices. I thought it would be cool to think of famous people that don't qualify as the "of course you think she's fine" description. I know we all have some people in the back of our heads. I dunno. I thought this might be fun.

I can speak for Kevin and I when I say that we like Maura Tierney. Not really sure. Definetely not Brendan's standard type but I like her. Yeah blah blah blah she's older. That's good. She can pay the bills. ER must be paying her some decent money. Well whatever. I got some more somewhere in the back of my head. Maybe I should create a list of who we cannot say: Olivia, Kristin, Alyssa, Katie, Halle, Josie, Jessica etc. We know who the main people are. Have fun...it'll be cool to see who you always thought was cute. Especially when we all say that she is ugly. Hehe.

Whatever happened to Mental Abstraction? Bitch just stopped updating. Damn straight. Oh yeah congrats to Bryant on the one month with his ball and chain. It takes a lot of effort to lug that shit around all the time...but you did it. Here is to many more. LET'S DRINK TILL OUR HEARTS STOP OR WE ALL DIE OF THE EBOLA VIRUS...WHICHEVER COMES FIRST...

*plops down dead*

With his last dying breath Brendan softly whispers, "No you can't have my Wega. A killer like T-Bola doesn't deserve it cause she would take that shit away as quickly as your freedom to not drive everywhere. Haha. Ugh...there is no God...I knew it..."

Brian, I'm glad you bought Evanescence, I think it's a great CD, glad you like it too. I would've felt bad if you would've bought it and hated it hehe. Zelda is awesome, the GBA SP does enhance it a little, I'm still looking forward to going to that special island on Animal Crossing. School shmool...Videogames should always take first priority in life hehe. Puzzle fighter is awesome, I can't wait to kick ass at it! Megaman's are tough, but I'll keep at it.

Friends after a breakup - it is a tad of a cruel joke, depending on if you still like the person or not. In my experience it hasn't worked out all too well. Kellene, we talk every so often, but it's minimal at best, just to catch up. Irene - Zilch, which is good, Natalie - pretty much nil, e-mail here and there, Kat - every so often online. I think she's one of the few ex's that I would want to keep in touch with and actually care about how she's doing. It's always nice to try, but for some reason things get too weird. I think it's because I was never really "best friends" with my gfs, they never knew everything about me, like a Brendan or an Andy. I think in general, I'm really bad in keeping in touch with people and if I don't see long-term friendship involved then I don't waste my time. I say only try and become friends if you are willing to make the effort and you do see this person as someone who you will be friends w/ for a long time. I'm not sure if you were implying on getting back together with her also, and I've never gotten back together with an old flame so I don't know how those work out. If she feels the same way of giving it a go again, give it a whirl, but don't expect things to be the same. Also you may disregard everything I am saying since I know little, to zero about Lori, but I decided to chime in my 2 cents in case anyone cared hehe.

School - only a little time left. It seems that these years have gone by so fast. I can't believe it! We're all are almost about to graduate which could be our final years in school ever, grad school is still a possibility but it's not the same. I would like to visit everyone before they leave their schools, so Steve if you have a good weekend for me to come down, I would love to visit SD one more time, Brian I've never been to Sonoma so I would like to see what it's like...since you'll be there next year I guess I have more time, Derek you're too close to visit, Jonathan...I don't want to visit your home anymore hehe j/k, Brendan SF State has too many foreigners. So pretty much I would like to visit Steve and Brian. So let me know of a good weekend and I'm there. If any of you want to visit me, any weekend is pretty good, I don't have class MWF, so feel free to visit anytime.

Relationships - Tiff and I are doing well, just past the month mark...woo hoo! I'm going to try and beat my 3 month mark! haha. She's a cool girl and kick back, I hope all of you get a chance to meet her. And Brendan, we'll find the monkey soon...What are these marks are my arms and legs?!?!

Interesting Question - Jonathan posed me a question while I was in town that got me thinking a little bit...if I wasn't in a relationship would I start approaching girls and become more proactive in making the first move. This could be friends that I might've liked or just some random person. His logic made perfect sense, how most of us just sit back and wait for someone to like us and that in turn, leads us to dating someone. We never really get to choose and it can almost seem like we're settling. I never thought of it as settling, but it could seem that way. I always saw it as a sign to take a chance and that this person could be the 'one' or there is a reason that we're supposed to meet a certain someone. Whether it's to teach us something or if it's because this person is truly special. Who knows, for someone to believe in my theory has to believe in fate in some way or another. But I think my thinking could change once I get out of school because opportunities to meet girls will decrease as I start working and not being in a total social environment, so a person like me might have to learn to take some initiative in meeting someone. For now, I won't worry about it since I'm in a relationship soon, but ask me again when/if I become single in the near future, I thought it was an excellent question to think about.

Woo hoo, I just got Dark Cloud 2, so I already have a game to beat after I beat Zelda! I can't wait until I work, so many games to buy, so little time.

As of now, top 10 videogames that I've played (consoles only)...only because Andy brought up the topic of Halo are...no particular order:

Techmo Super Bowl - my first love of sports games
Super Mario 3 - when I saw it on the Wizard, I crapped my pants and made my parents get it for me for X-mas. Graphics blew me away.
Madden - the series that has never disappointed me, graphics and game play are as good as ever
Zelda - Wind Waker - only zelda I've played besides GBA one now, but graphics and cartoony look make me love this game
Super Puzzle Fighter - endless hours of fun in multi-player action.
Metal Gear Solid - first movie like game that I've played. Soundtrack and voices blew me away, missions got me in suspense.
Metal Gear Solid 2 - Raiden was a little panzy, but this game is still as good as the original w/ updated graphics, once again soundtrack is awesome!
Kingdom Hearts - One of few games where I was in touch w/ the character. Disney characters increased the appeal and the graphics were stunning!
Halo - Everything a person could want in a first person shooter. Levels were exciting and multi-player action increases the fun factor.
Golden Eye tie w/ Perfect Dark - Similar games, Golden eye being the original and first first person shooter that I ever played. Spent hours and hours playing both w/ friends.

These are the ones that come to mind, I'm sure if I looked at my old games I would be able to think of more.
Honorable mentions - Harvest Moon 64, Rogue Squadron, Super Mario Bros., Megaman 2, NHL 94, Socom (only because of multiplayer action)
I'm sure we've had a list like this before, but I just wanted to write these down again.

Anyway, I'm done babbling, back to the books and already playing catch up heheh! Peace out, take care and I'll see you all soon.
