Well, it's been a while since I really posted anything here on GB. I guess it's where I've been through a few tragedies in the last couple of months. Too many to list really… Recently I had an uncle that passed away (next week he will be buried) and we are dealing with the estate, I've had several nervous breakdowns and anxiety problems due to stress, I've had a time trying to decide what I should do with my life (Still haven't decided yet. Don’t know whether to continue with college or get a job and take a break from college), and there has been stuff that has been going on with me and the family that I just don't talk about it with anyone. At times, I feel like I have lost the will to live, but something is keeping me here… 
 
As some may know, I'm taking an online class this summer, U.S. History. At times it's boring, and at times it's interesting. There are also times when I want to rip the pages out of the book cause there is a lot of work involved with online summer classes. The reports are really time consuming and frustrating.
 
In real life, I am friendless now. I’ve pretty much been forgot about with real life friends. I’ve tried to keep in contact with people, but they never do respond back.  

Internet life, I’m not friendless. YAY! However, I do feel that some rekindling does need to take place with a few online buds cause of my inactivity. Just remember that I do try to make a point of visiting GB briefly everyday to check messages and possibly look at blogs and forum stuff. I’m still here, but in a way I’m not. Look forward to hearing from anyone really, cause whether it is realized or not, it helps with my mentality. So anyone give me a holler!!

Now Playing: Earthbound

I've been playing Earthbound when I get free time. I have to say that it's a very unique and enjoyable modern-day RPG. At first it was difficult to really get into as it was easy to lose focus, but as time went on the game really got interesting and fun. The thing I enjoy most about the game is its humor and charm. Everything in the game is quirky, and I LOVE IT!! Game has some pretty good music, and I have the Apple Kid Theme as a ringtone on my iPhone. =-P It's easy to remember the characters, controls and mechanics of the game. The enemies that you fight are crazy and the moving backgrounds when fighting an enemy is really beautiful. The backgrounds really help put me into the moment!
 
The problem though is the game doesn't look as it should look. The graphics aren't up to par, and the game isn't well proportioned with its buildings. The game is not realistic in anyway. (Of course, they did hit the nail on the head considering the fact that there are certainly stupid people.) The towns are well laid out, then again they aren’t. It seems that each town has something missing (Especially Fourside since it’s a city). To me, cities are supposed to have pretty much almost everything and Fourside doesn't have what it should. There aren't even cars or trucks traveling in Fourside. There are taxi's that want to kill you, but seriously what about ones that don't want to kill you like in Onett and Twoson? There is only one library and one police building located in Onett? Only one graveyard located in Threed? Only one bus stop and bicycle shop in Twoson? Only one stupid and pointless club and eat in restaurant located in Summers? Why doesn’t Fourside have these things? Where are the gas stations, post offices, and banks? ATMs aren’t enough, sorry. Escargo Express may act like a post office, but who the hell comes up to you to say that you want to store something or pick up something? (Hilarious actually) 

Not quite finished with the game yet as Ness is trapped inside his thoughts, mind or whatever. The game is in no way realistic, but it is fun. All in all though, Earthbound is a great game! 

Wanting and Waiting For: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

I’ve been waiting for this game ever since there were hints of it in 2009. I’m impressed with the trailers of it, but I have a few doubts about the controls. But, time will tell if it’s going to be a successful and praised release from Nintendo. 

Wanting: Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc and Wave Race: Blue Storm

I have a couple dollars left on my Gamestop card, and I think that this will complete my GameCube collection of what I want to play. Now it’s the matter of Gamestop getting both games in stock! (BTW, my town has a new Gamestop, hopefully they won’t run out the privately owned game store.)

Music

Britney Spears is a bitch, but her new music video is funny (Especially at 1:23). The look on that kids face is just priceless. =-P I don’t like the music she does. It’s just not my tastes at all.

Final Fantasy: Chrystal Chronicles has a decent soundtrack. Here is one of my favorite songs from the game, Departure.

I’m a fan of Frank Sinatra. Here is a song I’ve been listening to lately, Under My Skin. 

Conclusion

·           Life sucks.

·           Earthbound is cool.

·           I cannot believe I never watched City of Angels until 2 weeks ago. Such a great movie.

·           True Grit and Narnia was worth watching.

·           Britney Spears gets underneath my skin, because I don't like her. =-P 

Until next time,

 Well, I'm taking an art class this semester, as some may already know. I would like to show my homework assignments that I have had to do for art class with you good people of Giantbomb!! First, here is an art blog that I have made last year. 
 
http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/off-topic/31/self-taught-drawings-clock-and-lantern-update/238205/

Through this new art class that I am taking, I believe that my skills in art have improved. I believe that it’s because of the nice stuff that I bought specifically for the class!! Or perhaps it’s because of a knowledgeable art professor. = - P It's mostly the professor telling me how to use the drawing instruments.

I mainly work with different types of graphite, charcoal, pastels, and colored pencils. The professor mainly wants everyone to draw household objects, and other miscellaneous decorative items, and so it’s what I do! I draw on a 18" X 24" (45.7 X 61 cm) drawing pad.

Well, here’s my artwork! Please note that on two of the drawings, I’ve blotched out my real name. Everyone should know that “Tyler York” is just an alias that I respond to. Also, there was one experiment that I've done just to test out and mix the pastel colors, and it's the landscape picture.

Hope you all liked and see the improvement in the way I draw. Please leave comments and such. Until next time Giantbomb!!

So ya’ll know that I pretty much love video game music, and we all know that I've really posted enough video game music blogs; however, I haven’t really posted many blogs on what kind of “normal” music that I like. I think that I posted like only two blogs on the subject matter! So, I think that it’s fair to share what my current tastes are in “normal” music. I believe that the video game music and the normal music that I listen to are polar opposites, so that is pretty much the reason why I was motivated to create this blog.

This is a list of 30 songs that I love, and have listened to for a long while now. Every so often I post a random song for people here to listen to, so some people who may see this blog shouldn’t be too shocked on some of the familiar song choices that I’ve posted. Like always, I want recommendations, comments, and rants (Conflict can be healthy! Also I want recommendations because I really want something new to listen to.) Take care, and enjoy the music everyone!!........ If ya’ll can. = - P

Well, I have to say that today was a pretty interesting and scary day. My mother could of been killed by a maniac. 
 
Here's the story. Very close family friends are moving into their brand new home this week. My family has offered to help them move. The women would stay home and take care of the unpacking, and the men are responsible for moving the heavy furniture and such from the old home to the new one. I'm very sore moving furniture right now, but I'm glad that I could help in their time of need. 
 
Anyways, I received a phone call from my mother and I could hear her yell "Go away, you're not welcome here." She told me stay on the line, and so I did. I let everyone around me hear what was going on as crook was still there, and we all made a mad dash to get to her from the old home once we knew what was going on. (20 minutes away) The law was immediately contacted after that call. 
 
What actually on the other side of the phone was pretty interesting. According to mom, she was using the bathroom in the downstairs area, and she heard someone come in. She at first thought it was my dad by the sound of his voice, because he responded to her question by grunting like my dad does when he answers. Once she stepped out of the bathroom, she saw the crook inside the house in front of the door looking around.
 
Mom - "What are you doing here?" 
Crook - "Oh, uh, I just need to get something." 
Mom - "You are not welcome here, people are moving in to this home and you have no business being here."  Then she got her phone out, "I'm calling the police."  
Crook steps outside. 
Mom runs and slams the door behind him, and he realizes it's a bluff. He yells, "I'm going to get in!" 
Mom ran upstairs and locked the front door before he could get to it, then she remembers that the kitchen door is unlocked. Then she ran to the kitchen, grabbed the closest thing that was near her, which was a metal cake server, and while he was opening up the door, she runs to the door and slammed the door with her full body weight on his hand. He was able to get loose, and she was able to lock the door. He pounded on the door to intimidate her, and then she called me while he was pounding. Once he realized that my mother wasn't playing any games, he ran and disappeared into the creek and onto the four lane. (Good thing he wasn't armed.)
 
Everyone was too late getting to the house, including the police, As the crook wasn't able to be caught. But they asked my mom questions and she was able to describe the man in detail, and the police searched the house. Nothing was stolen thankfully. 
 
Right now, I'm glad and extremely thankful that no one important got hurt or killed today. The locks were changed today, so no one should get in now. Hopefully it'll give my family friends a peace of mind. What happened will not be on the news or local news, so that is good.
 
Take care Giantbombers, and everyone stay safe. I need sleep as today was pretty weird.

So recently I got an iPhone 3GS 8GB, and it's by far the best phone I've ever had! Got it from AT&T for $49. Didn't get the iPhone 4 because the 3GS is more affordable. Didn't go with Verison, because they didn't want to honor the work discount that my dad could get. Shame because they could of had our business, but AT&T is the best thing to have in this location (Plus they honored the discount) besides the prepaid phones that are available through Wal-Mart now. (I know because I've had one.)  
 
I've been browsing around the app store, and I've downloaded a lot of nice free apps. I was able to find one app for free, and the price changed today. (Will mention in my upcoming list) So, I'm looking for apps that I haven't discovered yet that other people know about. Best place to get information from people? GIANT BOMB, OF COURSE! So, good people of Giant Bomb, recommend me some apps please! Perhaps my list, or other peoples recommendations will help you discover new apps too (if you got an iPhone and blah blah blah)!
 
What I got for free: 

Skype 
Netflix (Awesome)
Giantbomb 
Wikipedia  
Google Mobile 
EBay Mobile 
AOL Radio 
DirecTV (Wanting to know this works. Guess I got to contact DirecTV sometime. -_- )

Scrabble Free

What I'm wanting to buy in the future:

Other than the good news that I got a new cell phone that happens to be great, my personal life otherwise has sucked big time. I've not been talking about it, and I probably won't talk about it either. Not really fun being 22 now.
 
Well, I'm done for now. See ya'll later!

Today is my birthday. So far, it's been fair. Although I've been forgetful of where I put things all day, didn't get a game I wanted, can't remember anything about the 80s song I listened to yesterday which has been eating me up today because I can't find it, having the thoughts and dreading next week because college starts, the fact that my dad isn't here with me to enjoy the day, and the fact that I've just been alone today with the female adult that I call mom that brought me into this world 22 years ago, I have to a point enjoyed myself. Went to a burger joint today to eat, Watched Ghostbusters 1 and 2, and went to the Wal-Mart to take a brief look around. (Yeah, I said brief time at Wal-Mart because it was crowded, and I didn't like hearing perverts...... erm..... people talk about things I don't want to hear. Kinda ruins the looking around experience when you're trying not to forget what you're looking for. - That may have not made since.) 
 
I did get two presents today...... $20 and a pasta boat for cooking pasta and steaming vegetables.
 
So there you all have it, I'm 22 today, and I'm able to remain moderately happy with life.

Well this year I'm taking 4 classes. Business Math, Health, Marketing, and an Access class. I don't really care to show the books this time around. Plus, I don't have a camera on my phone, and I can't find my camera because it's buried somewhere. 
 
This year is going to stink. Why you ask? Because my first day of college stunk, and it's all in just 1 stinking class, Business Math. There was absolutely no one I knew in my class, and my instructor wasn't very welcoming. She required the class to get a TI - 84 calculator. So family had to fork over $94 that is incredibly hard to spare (probably couldn't spare, but got it anyway) to get it. It was a TI 84 Plus is what I ended up getting. Calculators are way too expensive. Professor is smart though, so I do plan to learn something from her. 
 
I also think I'm going to hate Health this year. I don't really care about my health, and I honestly do not know why I have to live for; but, I am here for some odd reason, so I ain't going anywhere. Teacher is going to have a fit or a lot of advice once she finds out what I'm eating, what I'm doing sexually (which is nothing because I can't get it to work when I want it to and I don't really care about sex anyways anymore), and some other things involved that is for my "well being." She wants everyone to do a journal for what reason I don't know. Health is the online class I'm taking, so hooray.
 
.......No students I knew at all. It's sad. Glad that they moved on and graduated, but I very much feel left behind. I've met some great people, but i can't see them anymore. There was a student that literally gave me Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate for free. She used it on 3 computers, but it went a 4th time when it wasn't really supposed to! I miss her a lot because she would tell me stories about her kids and stuff that she get's involved in. I had an accounting buddy that I liked a lot. She was cute and very smart. She and I would help each other in accounting. I like the way she liked her boyfriend, which made me envy her because I think she wants to marry him someday. There were many more friends I had grown attached to within a short period of time, but they have moved on, and I'm so proud of them. Just so sad I couldn't have seen them go off and wish them luck or something so maybe I might not of felt so bad being left behind.
 
Girl I know that can do those terrific drawings I showed in a blog a year ago or so is still there at the college going on her 3rd year of college. She contacted me today, and wants to meet up with me sometime. I hope she isn't trying to hook up with me because she is honestly psychotic and too weird. Weirder than I am!! I like her though. At least I'll see her annoying yet entertaining self sometime. 
  
I hope that Wednesday goes well for me because that is when I have the 2 inconvenient night classes that I have to go to. At least I know the instructor for both classes. He teaches both of them (Marketing, Access)

Other than all of that, I don't plan on making friends this semester. It's just going to be deja vu. I'M SO ANGRY, AND I GOT TO PASS EVEN THOUGH I JUST HATE EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW!! I'M LITERALLY GOING TO FORCE MYSELF TO LIKE PEOPLE, CLASSES, AND NOT BE ANGRY! HOW ON EARTH IS THAT GOING TO WORK?!?
 
So I'm done with my rant blog and life story about what I'm going though currently in college. See you all later, and perhaps you all never should of read this. If any of ya'll did, don't feel pity for me. I just need encouragement maybe, or perhaps a miracle.
  
Until next time my fellow online friends, 

-Tyler York 
 
PS: Listen to this podcast I was on if you haven't already. It's when I was happy and talking about games,which might not happen for a while now because of COLLEGE. =-|

 Friendships often die, and perhaps they often die too much when they do not need to. It really does feel that it wasn’t but 2 to 3 decades ago people actually have had more close friends more than they do today. As a matter of fact, I think that there is a bigger percentage of people today that live lonelier lives then they did long ago. I, for one, am one of those lonely people who do not have any genuine real-life friends, and it can actually be said that I don't have any real friends at all. I do have friends online, and the same principal of a dying relationship can apply; perhaps maybe in a different context.

There are a lot of older people that I have come across that have had more friends than any other person I have known that is around my age of 21. There are many factors to name as to why a friendship dies; factors such as lack of or too much communication, something stupid that has happened that caused the situation, moving away, getting entirely bored of one another, and a lot more.

The only thing I could think of is that if a friend feels the same way as I do about a dying friendship, then they would want to work things out and try to start over. Sometimes I think its not enough, so there has to be more options than this one fact to revive a friendship. It’s not too often that friendships can be revived. So, there are questions that have come to my mind. In what ways can one revive a friendship? How do you keep a friendship from going “downhill”? I would like a little help here good people of Giantbomb. Anything would be helpful right now.

Thanks, and until my next episode of exile and sadness,

Tyler York (Tireyo643)
