Wow, it’s been a while. Yes I’m still alive, I just have been very busy lately and this is really the first night of the school year that I have a ton of down time and I have a lot on my mind, so I thought I’d share. I’m doubting anyone’s going to read this on account of me not reading theirs, but whatever.
Music: So last weekend I bought my first CD since probably LinkinPark’s Minutes to Midnight. I don’t normally buy CD’s considering I can just get them off itunes, but I do buy them when I really like the band. Anyway I bough the new Rise Against CD, Appeal To Reason. So far I am really liking it. It is a lot softer than prior albums, but it still has some great songs with meaningful messages. Heck you even get a free PETA sticker with it, lol. But yeah so far I am enjoying it a lot.
Games: Since I have been so busy, I haven’t had a lot of time to play games, but I still manage to squeeze in about an hour of Gears of War a night, I know sad right. But something awesome happened today. An earth shattering event for my life. Secret of Mana for the SNES, was released on the VC. In my opinion it is the greatest game of all time, and it is by far my favorite. This game has nostalgia all over it for me, and I hold a special place in my heart for the game. It’s just one of those things that reminds you of child hood and how good life was back then. Not to say that lifes not good right now, but yeah you get the point. So I downloaded that today and I spent the rest of my night playing it. I never owned the game, I only rented it about a thousand times. I never beat it either, but I have played it for close to 25 hours back in the day I would say (ooo rhyme). So yeah life is pretty much complete for me. Also about 2 weeks ago, Super Mario RPG was release which is another one of my favorite games. So now I have a reason to dust off my Wii for once. I sort of want my school to blow up, which would allow me to sit at my house playing those games none stop. I just don’t have the time is my problem. So I have been playing those. Things to look forward to that I am either going to buy or rent: GH:WT, Prince of Persia, Shawn White Snowboarding, Dead Space, Fallout 3, Fable 2, Silent Hill: Homecoming, Mirror’s edge, and a bunch more that I can’t think of. Damn I need a job, lol. I think I might have to subscribe to gamefly.
Hey guys, sorry I have been sort of inactive lately. School takes up quite a bit of time and any free time goes to Rock Band 2 basically. Anyway I am trying to be more active and talk on the forums and such so hopefully I can.
Life: So my fight with my friend is still going on, sort of, I guess? Yeah we haven’t spoken since, and I guess I am fine with it. It’s one of the most awkward situations ever. We seriously have all the same friends, go to the same places, and have the same classes. So we are always around each other, we just have this unspoken thing that we aren’t going to talk to each other. I sit at the same table as him, and we enter the same conversations with out actually directly talking to each other. Yes, it is very weird and I wish it wouldn’t be this stupid, but I have no reason to make up because I am not the one being a douche bag.
So two banks have tanked in one week and lucky me, my dad’s bank who he works for, is supposedly the next one to die or be bought out. That bank is Washington Mutual. It really sucks because my dad is a very hard worker and it’s a terrible circumstance that he is involved with that might get him laid off. This would probably mean that I would have to GET a job, and Christmas would suck. My house is very tense right now and my Mom is just constantly blaming the economy on Bush. I tend to stay away from politics, but I am sort of leaning towards Obama. I don’t want another “Bush” in the office and a change would be nice. Plus if McCain dies I do NOT want Pailan to be our President. She is very stupid and inexperienced. She dances around every question and isn’t very articulate. How do you even become considered to be a Vice President when you don’t know what the Bush Doctrine is? Enough of my politic bullshit.
Games: Rock Band 2 came out and I am in heaven. I loved Rock Band 1 and the second iteration is no different. I have probably already played about 15 hours and it is so fun. The set list is awesome. It has a bunch of songs that I don’t know by name, but when I hear the song, I’m like “Oh I Know This Song!!!!” It keeps happening and its really cool. All the new features are appreciated and fun. I still haven’t scratched the surface of the playability, so I am excited to unlock all the songs and get better. Side Note: I am ranked around 40th in the world for this Panic at the Disco Song at the moment. I don’t like the song, but I have found a great path and I can still improve. So basically that’s all I have played. I have been playing a little Gears of War (as I always do), but Rock Band 2 is sucking up my time.
Giantbomb: The site got a redesign (V.3) and I am loving it. The guides section is awesome considering since it seems like everyone wants to contribute including me.
Hey guys, I know I haven’t been on a lot, I have just started school and it’s taking up most of my time. I am now into my second week of school and I am really enjoying my senior year. I have late arrival first period so I get to sleep in an extra hour which is a huge bonus for me, and my classes are really cool.
So last night I was playing Gears of War with two of my friends, one being a really good friend, and the other more of an acquaintance. Anyway it was nearing 12:30 and it was my last game. We played a pretty cocky team that we could have beat, but one of our guys quit so it was 3 vs. 4. Anyway long story short, I sort of got into a fight with my really good friend. We usually switch off on sniper (we were playing a fuel depot), but as the match was nearing the end I said let me get sniper. He said no, that’s not a very good idea. I thought it was his usual jokes, but this one touched a little bit of a nerve. I replied with what do you mean. He basically told me I suck and couldn’t snipe for shit. This is very surprising to me because the previous night I had 5 headshots with the sniper in one match which is as good as he usually does. So I let it go for a while but then he starts talking mad trash again. See I had already muted another player on the opposing team for being loud and obnoxious. He was so loud I could hear him from other people’s microphones after I had muted him. So at the time I was in last place and not having the best game ever but I still had 10 kills and Casey had 14. The guy on the other team was talking to Casey and talking shit for no reason even though we were down a player. The usual you guys are trash, you suck, get raped, etc. were spewed out as expected. But then he says “your person in last place is trash”. Obviously he would attack the person with the least amount of kills on the team even though I had ten and had more than 2 players on the other team. Casey responds, I would have to agree with you there. He thought that I couldn’t hear him because of the muting, but I heard it loud and clear.
So after the round was over I said “Casey for the record, I could hear everything you just and I would appreciate it if you would stop talking so much trash about me.” He replies “no I will not.” Probably in the most annoying and condescending voice ever. So I explode on him. “Casey, why do you talk so much trash man?” He replies again in a condescending snotty voice “because I can”. By that time I have just lost it. “Casey why do you act like your so fucking good at sniper, you obviously aren’t” “I’m better than you with it” “Yeah I don’t play this game every day for 5 hours fag” (because he does). “Whatever” “You talk all this trash like you are the leader of the team and you are the best, but your just a cocky little bitch” “I’m better than you” “That’s why you got last place the game before (he had 6 kills on a gridlock)” “I don’t have to try, I don’t have to try (wtf does that mean haha)” “okay so stop being so cocky then if you can’t back it up” “call it what you will but I’m still better than you”
The match ends and I turn off the Xbox and go to bed. I was literally steaming. I was fucking angry as shit. So angry in fact I went down stairs and wrote him a long message on myspace about how he was a terrible friend and person altogether. I ask him what his problem with me is and why he talks so much trash? I could post the message if you want, but it’s something that won’t make a lot of sense since you don’t know him in person. Anyway he sends me back a poorly written message that basically says that he is not sorry for being mean to me, and he said he acts like that to everyone (which is a lie). I could also post this if you want. So I send him another messages diffusing all his statements and further concluding why he is an asshole to me for no reason. So now I’m just pissed off. It’s so awkward because I have classes with him and I see him all the time. I hope we can be friends and maybe he could hint at an apology for being so mean for no reason. I doubt that because it seems like he never changes. Sorry for such the long read I am just really angry. Tell me what you think or advice you can give me. Thanks for reading.
So I just got back from a Shinedown Concert and it was Fucking Amazing. They really put on a good show and I hope they come back. They played with a band called Lucid and another called Jet Black Stare. I had never heard of them, but they were decent. The singer is cool. His voice is the same as it is on the CD’s so none of that fake sounding bullshit. They are really good instrumentally and their drummer is awesome. He has hella long dreads. I was in the mosh pit and did my fair share of moshing so now I’m tired and I’m not going to right a lot. This is my second concert of the summer/year my first being bullet for my valentine which was also awesome. On my way back home I tried to switch lanes, but this rogue car somehow got right behind me and I had to swerve, speed up, get in his lane, and all before I came to the light. Well I did so, but as luck would have it the light turned red while I had my head turned around. So I slammed on my breaks and went like 20% of the way into the intersection. Lol people honked at me and I felt a little stupid, but nothing happened. I also saw a police man talking to a prostitute and he probably eventually busted her. It was pretty funny. Now my ears are ringing and all I can think about is my last of summer tomorrow. Great way to end my summer. Well leave me some comments and thanks for reading. AlexB
I know two blogs in one day that's kind of a cardinal sin, but I just had to share. Btw this doesn't mean you shouldn't still comment on my other blog lol. Anyway...
So I’m sitting playing some rock band and getting in the top 500 for a couple of songs on guitar, in my basement when my brother comes out of his room and says to me that some kids just rang the doorbell and ran away. He goes to college here so he just lives with us for now. Knowing how stupid little 12 year old kids are he says let's go out and wait for them to come back because they always come back to check on their work. So we go out the back door and wait around the house. Not a minute after we get outside they come back (idiots). We were in the shadows so we were basically invisible. There was like six of them walking down the street. They had the nerve, the audacity to do it again. Very big mistake. My brother and I come running out screaming and swearing and literally scared the shit out of them. They all were so startled it took them about 3 seconds to start running. By that time we were like 10 feet away. As we came out of the backyard this kid who was knocking on the window makes a B line for the street and collides with my brother unknowingly. My brother saw him though and pushed his faggot ass, almost making him fall to the pavement, but he regained composure after almost falling. We chased them for about 2 blocks (not intending to harm them...sort of) and we were always like 10 feet behind them and if we were trying to catch them we surely could have. But we stopped after 2 blocks just enough to scare them. So needless to say I just had to share because it was way fucking funny. Stupid little 12 years olds. Now I’m just afraid of them egging my car. lol
