Wii??

God damn it. Everything starts out all badass like, "Revolution, backwards compatable, huge library of games to download" and what do they do? They gay that shit up by replacing the Revolution with Wii. This is almost as bad as replacing Dolphin with Gamecube. No, you know what? It's worse. It's worse on so many levels. So what's the silver lining here? Xbox 360 is a stupid name and so is Playstation, which means that apparently, people are just too stupid to care.

Has it really been that long?

Been thinking a bit about the last great summer. Probably because of this new PC and having spent some time with the fellas recently. Takes me all the way back to playing Starcraft and Rainbow Six every day at work. Having LANs every other friday in the high bay. It's somewhat disheartening to think days like that are gone for good. The crew is splitting, the resources are no longer available, and without someone to watch the dog everything generally gets put off until a more suitable time. A more suitable time almost always being 'when everything calms down', which is really just a nice way of saying when we're all dead.

In some ways it doesn't help that this blog is now nearly two years old and started right in the prime of those days. I go back and read that garbage now and even though it only hints at certain things, I know from the memories that everything was far too self-centered to have actually been worth jotting down. This is why even though I remember a lot of the best things that happened, they don't show up anywhere. So now here I am, wanting to run through Battlefield Vietnam and Unreal Tournament 2k4 just to try and relive those times gone by. I know it won't be the same and that I'm better off sticking to WoW, where I can chat with Joe for a bit, F.E.A.R., Dawn of War and Quake 4, but the idea still lingers.

So what do we have in store for this summer? A trip to the cabin. Hopefully a few LANs and other such get togethers with those of us that remain. I've already blown my one cosmic twist for this year which can only mean I'll spend far too much time working and not nearly enough time doing anything that I'd really like to be doing. Maybe I'll buckle down and dip my feet back into the ocean that is programming for fun and enjoyment (something I haven't done for an amount of time that only serves to further depress things). Only have 80 or so more years of this crap to look forward to.

Friday, May 5th at the Ha'Penny. Clear your shit.

Misanthropic

You really don't get any truer than that.

Trash in the Storm Drain

Wierdest thing just happened. Couple of ladies came by the storm drain here, put some pre-trashed trash on it, polished off the "Don't dump yer trash here cuz it drains to the river and kills fish" medalion on the street, and then took pictures of it. I'm betting I'll see this in the Boise Weekly next week.

A Generation

Some songs I grew up on that I think have brought about a few personality quirks:

Alice in Chains - I Stay Away, No Excuses
Stone Temple Pilots - Vasoline
Nine Inch Nails - March of the Pigs, Closer
Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box
Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge, Give it Away
Jane's Addiction - Been Caught Stealing
Pearl Jam - Jeremy
Smashing Pumpkins - Today, Disarm, Rocket
Beasty Boys - Sabotage
Snoop Dogg - Murder Was the Case, Who Am I (What's My Name)?, Gin and Juice
Coolio - Fantastic Voyage
Warren G and Nate Dogg - Regulate
Dr. Dre - Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang

I can still remember staying up late at night to watch Kennedy on Alternative Nation any time I was at a place that had cable. I can't imagine what the kids do these days. Stay up and watch the real world? Anime on adult swim? Surf the net for porn? Whatever it is, it's a damn shame. A damn, dirty shame.

Living on the Edge

Fucking Aerosmith. How can you always make me feel better, so?

An Amazon Order Like No Other

You can't do better than this, I promise:

Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced
Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland
Jimi Hendrix - Live at Woodstock (2 DVD set)
Pulp Fiction
Resevoir Dogs

And it only cost me $13. God bless Message Labs.

What the shit??

David Hasselhoff is the man.

Insensitive Insensitivity

I was thinking today that it might be a little bit insensitive of me to fall asleep during our sensitivity training. I'm sure I'll learn a few very worthwile things here, so best tune in later for the results.

Also, where's my lunch??

Nerd rap

That's actually pretty damn funny.

Uh oh

The Red Green Show's final episode airs tonight on CBC (that's in Canada for those not keeping score).
