Double post. I just wanted to remark on the DDR remix on OCR. It's an interesting take on the original, but the sucky rap is still there. The added groove sounds nice, and I've always liked the little melody in the background. Bottom line, it gets a point for creativity and another for a well done mix, but I'm not impressed. There are better things on OCR to listen to.

Happy belated birthday to both Bryant, and Tony! Damn, yeah. Where has time gone anyway? Pretty soon we'll all end up as grumpy old men. Like the movie.

Guys? Herro?

First blog of the new year, gotta make it stupid.

Classes are as stupid as last year. No, amend that. I have stupid people again. This one chick in my Organizational Behavior exists just to piss everyone off. The first 5 minutes were hellish. "So 3 midterms and no final? *ponder* What about our final? DO WE HAVE A FINAL?" Straight from the horses mouth. She then proceeds to interrupt the professor with one of her stories about her friend. The class groans collectively. It's going to be a long semester.

You know, I really need to find a job that works regular hours. I'm getting sick of this no socom, no ffxi, no chill time schedule. The only thing that is keeping me going right now is the car. As long as I can stick it out for a year, I could get one. WRX? Maybe. I believe Jon said it best when he said "ValueBangs vs. GreedyBangs/CarpeDiemBangs. A clasic match-up." Can't say it any better than that man. But look what he did... He got the best of both worlds. Gah.

If you were wondering if I memorized that little line from him, I didn't. I was going through the blogs of early days, and found it amusing. All of it. Right down to the big video game debate and the poker trials and tribulations. One year and a couple months, still going energizer bunny style.

What does this New Year hold for all of us? New jobs? New lives? Anyone have anything interesting coming up this year? I want to get to Vegas this year. THIS YEAR. All the other years were just in preparation for this trip. We're going! Now if only I can get the time off from work. heh heh heh.

Oh yes. Life is good. I'm still playing with the gifts from Christmas, thank you all! Socom is slowly eating away my time, the Atari brings back memories, and the mag subscription is good reading. I couldn't have asked for a better way to end what was a crappy day at work :) And it was good to talk to you Steve... Missed those stay up til 6 am talking about everything and eat all your food :D Oh, and for all that have moved away from Yars' Revenge, I suggest playing Adventure. And after a through game, go to homestarrunner and click on homepage #13, and mouse over the e-mail option. My bro showed it to me and I got a good long laugh.

Jon reminded me that I once said, "The plan is to buy a cue stick with the winnings I make in Poker." I also said to Bryant, "If you buy such and such, I will buy my DefTechs for my television." But Jon makes a very valid point. Bryant just likes to watch me spend money! Haha! So I think I will finally set the new G5 aside for now and look for a cue stick. After all I have spent numerous hours in pool halls and too much money to not get my own, legit cue stick. Sure I have a cue stick (that black one), but I might just keep that at Jon's house since he is the only one that plays with it anyway. On the other hand my dad made me realize that the cue stick that I use...is well...his. He said he will pass it along to me when he dies. I will probably cremate it with him so he has something to do wherever the hell he goes after he dies. I just realized that I am not making sense in anything I have just written...to make a long story short, I think it is time to buy a cue stick. What does one look for in a cue stick? Well I got it narrowed down to two choices...

Balabushka or Szamboti.

Then I woke the fuck up and realized that until I make my first real blockbuster film...NONE OF US CAN AFFORD THESE CUES...shit we can't even put our money together and get one. These two cue sticks have fetched as much as...get this...250,000 dollars each. Truly works of art, but out of my price range by about 249,500 dollars. Oh well. So I have no clue why I blogged this other than to hint at Jon that maybe he can afford to put a Szamboti on layaway for the celebration of his new pool table that he will eventually get sooner or later. Peace.
