A Toast to Friendship pt. 2

I would like to dedicate this song to my group of "friends" at school.

I can't find that in the dictionary.

What the fuck is going on with slang today? I've heard some stuff that's fucking retarded and I'm losing my fucking head listening to it. If you need to use any of the following words in the context I will describe, you need to read a mother fucking dictionary and expand your vocabulary so you sound like less of a stupid cunt.

Bunk: This has become popular over the past year or so, and it has gotten really fucking annoying. The first time I heard it near the beginning of the trend, my business teacher in grade 10 used it once and my class kinda laughed, but then people in the class started using it. Idunno where it started, but it needs to end. "Bunk," for people who srsly don't know, means crappy, not good, bad, etc etc. One way or another, it needs to stop, because it's retarded.

Sick: Isn't that a skateboarding term for "awesome"? Since when is it a regular term? I'm gonna let this one pass to some degree, because this was an actual slang for an actual sport (I guess I can call it a sport) IRL, but it sounds retarded when used out of context.

Dirty: This is a new one. It's a new word for "awesome" but it's dirty. The first time I heard this, I thought it was a bad thing. Shortly after, I heard it a few times, and I realized that it's not supposed to be, but it sounds fucking ridiculous. I have no idea who could have thought this was a good word to use to describe anything positive.

Tearin': This one is a little more understandable, but it still threw me off the first time I heard it. I can't remember when I first heard it, but I usually hear it when some jackass is talking about winning at a videogame or something. I honestly can't think of any other use, but there are others. I just can't remember them. The video game use is acceptable if you ask me, but if it's just replacing "pwning" then I probably won't be adapting to it anytime soon.

Chirps: This one is kinda old too. It seems to have replaced "burn", which was actually funny, especially when executed in That 70's Show. It kind of seems like a weak troll (which is an internet term that means to cause disturbance) and just to top it off, people usually do that finger flick thing that I was doing without trolling years before it became popular. That finger flick thing is just as retarded, or at least when executed along with "chirps."

Rat: Apparently there's a new meaning for the term "rat." Just another word to replace crappy, or bad, or bunk (but it doesn't always.) Now, to be completely honest, I don't know that it's actually the word rat, but if it's not, then it's probably "rah" because I can never clearly hear the last consonant to confirm, but there might just not be one.

Pow: Guess what? A word that used to be a sound effect is now slang for "awesome" (as in, "That's pow.") but just isn't awesome at all. The first time I heard this, I thought what was being said was "power" but then the same guy said it 6 more times in 3 minutes and I was like "That's getting rather annoying." It might actually be power, but the faggots who were saying it repeatedly might have been too lazy to finish the whole word.

Jokes: Yeah, this one is pretty popular too, and kind of makes you think of what a joke is. According to the slang, jokes are anything that's really pathetic or not serious at all. It's pretty straightforward, but that doesn't exactly make it classy.

I might update this later if I remember another word or something, I mean anything could happen. I heard someone in my math class say "phat" yesterday and I nearly flipped my shit. On a final note to any one who I might have a genuine conversation with in the near future, If you use one of these words in a sentence, I WILL call you on it and I WILL make you repeat the sentence like someone who doesn't have fucking downs syndrome.

Get your own taste in music!

I've got my own taste in music. It's nothing special and not everyone likes my taste in music, but I do. I don't have a lot of variety and I don't have very many artists, but if I like an artist, I get the discography. I torrent music, so I can get whatever I want rather easily. Most people use limewire or frostwire nowadays so they don't usually have trouble getting music either, but their choice in music shows how fucking creative and unique they are.

Too many Goddamn people listen to the same shitty music all the time just because it's "popular" or on the radio. If you like the music that's on the radio, bring a fucking pocket radio with you or something. That's what it's for, if you like music a radio station plays, listen to their station and support their ratings so they can stay up. You're benefitting yourself more than you think. Also, popular music isn't popular because lots of people listen to it, it's deemed popular so lots of people will listen to it. Then lots of people listen to it so they will fit in with the rest of the retards that can't tell what good music actually listens to.

Let me bring up an example. Why do people like rap so much? It's not fucking music. Some people, like my friend Peter, listen to rap because it has meaning, but then he also picks out his music very specifically. I can not think of any reason why any one else listens to rap. And I'm talking about the people who don't know what their listening to while they listen to it, and again, listen to it just because other people do.

Let me get a little more specific. Why do people listen to Akon? I can't fucking stand listening to his shit! But my sister always plays it in the car, and people at work always play it over their iPod docks, and it's just Goddamn awful! His voice is really Goddamn annoying, and isn't he a rapper? Why does he try to sing? He can't! But people eat that shit up like fucking candy. And again, most people just listen to his shit that is played on the radio and go around saying they're some kind of fucking superfan or something. I have 2 things to say to people like that. 1, you're a hypocrite. If you're a huge fan, you should at least have bought out his discography or something, and if you did you probably wouldn't be able to stand it for very long one way or another. 2, a superfan of Akon? Christ almighty, you're really showing how diverse you are from the rest of the world, and your pathetic taste in music. And that's just a general example cause there are a lot of other artists out there that have the same effect on people and I just don't know their names. That's just me though.

Losing interest?

I'm posting just cause it's been a while. It's likely that no one is reading this anymore since I haven't been posting, but whatever.

I beat Super Mario Bros Wii the other day with Peter's help. It was epic, in the literal sense. You would have to see it to get it, but that's saying too much as it is.

I'm also playing The World Ends With You on the DS. Borrowed it from Peter, and I'm having some good fun with it. This would make for my 2nd playthrough, cause I borrowed it from him before. I'm also getting some TWEWY merchandise from some website, specifically 2 T-shirts and 12 pins that are pins right from the game. It's likely I can just order them and get someone to give them to me for Christmas or something. Yeah, that sounds like a good plan.

I also have Christmas presents planned for all my friends. It's likely that, if you're reading this, you already know what they are, but I'll write it anyways. For a few (6) choice friends, I am ordering some T-shirts from sharkrobot.com. I'm also getting my own T-shirts from there, and the pins from an associated website. I let them pick their own T-shirt and I bookmarked it with their name and size. If I didn't confirm your choice, you aren't getting one, or anything else from me for that matter. If you want to know why, leave a comment in the blog entry or don't expect an answer.

I also decided I think I'm gonna buy a 360. I'm not thinking of asking for it for Christmas, I don't want to ask for any consoles that aren't Nintendo from my parents or anyone else for that matter. I might ask for a PSP though, since I need one of those for Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep which is confirmed for the PSP, but no NA release date is set yet. There's Dissidya or however the hell you spell it too, and if I get a modded PSP there's a lot of other stuff I could do too. That's all gonna depend on how I actually get the PSP though.

On a final note, I want some opinions on whether or not I should actually get a PS3 over a 360, because I want get get a PS3 for KH3 but not if it doesn't get confirmed for PS3 (anything could happen). I would prefer if that were in the comments too. If I decide to get a 360 before KH3's confirmation, I might end up having both in the long run.

New Super Mario Brothers, Weehee!

I got Super Mario Bros Wii yesterday, and me and my friends played through to halfway through world 5. We could have beaten it if we had the entire day, but we had a lot of filming progress too, I'm not talking about that though cause I'm talking about NSMBW.

I picked it up when EB Games open. First thing I notice is that it has a red case and the word "Wii" in the top right corner is holographic. That is awesome. But, that's not the game. Not to say the game isn't awesome, because it is. Me, Lance, Ryan, and Ryan's brother Zeb all played in awesome 4-player coop and we caused each other more deaths than the terrain or enemies. As is turns out, you can't just pass by each other. If you run into someone, you bump into them and stop. Very light impacts, but it causes a lot of problems when trying to stay mobile. Same with jumping, you can jump off each other's heads and send another player firing down and yourself up. But you can also hit someone horizontally and end both of your horizontal movements and end both of your lives.

Besides the fact that it's dangerous being too close to each other sometimes, having more players is a lot easier. When you die, if there's any one else still alive, you'll spawn in a bubble on the right side of the screen and float around until you're saved by someone popping your bubble, like Yoshi's island. Which reminds me, there's yoshis and they act the exact same as they do in Super Mario world.

Something else hilarious: in coop, every time you hit a ? Block with items, there's a 1:1 ratio for items to active players. So, if you have 4 players out and not in a bubble and with at least 1 life, 4 (let's say) mushrooms will come flying out of the ? block. And then it's a race to get one before someone else accidentally grabs more than their fair share.

I'm gonna play some more today, but by myself. I read some reviews for it and apparently some people think that it's better in single player, and I expect it's going to be a lot easier, especially since I would be able to move at a faster pace than while I was playing with my other friends who aren't huge Nintendo fiends like I am.

Late Night of Loneliness

Hey guys, glad you could take a few minutes to read this. This has never actually affected anyone else, my loneliness has been hurling me through torrents of sleepless nights and tornadoes of misunderstanding. At the same time, I have also learned of the hypocrisy of the people all around me. I'm gonna start by saying that I know my personality flaws. I know what kinds of things make me the bad person that I am, but I have no reason to believe otherwise. The only people I know really believe in me are my parents, and just because I've been getting good marks in school. And Spencer. The rest either don't care or don't really know what to believe in.

In February, I broke up with my girlfriend, Natasha, because I felt distant from her. This was not a mistake, however I wish I didn't feel the way I did. Now, I feel distant from everyone. I'm having a difficult time holding on to some of my friends while they seem to be blowing the way in the winds of change, and I'm sitting here like a stone, unable to do anything with my life, because I'm afraid I'll get thrown out of the next pond I skip across, despite such a pond not truly existing.

I'm not going to lie, I started looking for a new girlfriend immediately after I broke up with Natasha, because I'm always happier when I have a girlfriend than when I'm single. Srs bsns, I can't think of any way I could prove myself wrong, I've tried. When I have a girlfriend, I'm more social, I go out more, I hang out with my friends more when I have a girlfriend. Yeah, it doesn't make that much sense, but it's just because I'm happy that it happens to be that way. None of my friends could never be successful in making me happy enough to enter that state without a girlfriend. No friend, except for the potential of my very best friend Colin who died last April, may he rest in peace.

As I was saying, I started looking for a new girlfriend rather quickly. My main reason for this, besides just being happy when I have a girlfriend, is the fact that I have really mother Fucking bad luck when it comes to girls, so getting an early start would be vital. However, it didn't make a fucking difference because I've been single ever since. I haven't genuinely liked anyone since Natasha either, so there's nothing pulling me towards any one person in particular, and all other attempts at any other girl has failed in several categories, ending in different states such as depression, rage, apathy, etc. I'm leaning towards apathy nowadays because I rarely expect any attempts to work and I've lost any hope in myself, and most will for self release, with or without motivation.

I'm going under, and I need something more than a friend or two. In fact, I would trade in a few friends right now for one night with one of the girls I've tried for over the past while. And I don't mean a friendly night of gaming, obviously. I'm just losing it, I barely know what I would need a relationship for anymore, but if I keep going like this, my future is going to mean nothing because I won't have anyone to share it with.

For most of you reading this, I appreciate any potential concern, but don't bother expressing it, because I won't believe you. Besides a choice few that I might point this post out to, or one or two that I can guarantee will read this, I don't expect anyone to care enough to help, or at least even try to cheer me up, as feeble attempts they may be otherwise.

I'm pretty raged at you guys.

You, the readers, have to comment to my posts more. I know you're out there, but I don't have any proof and I'm not getting any feedback or responses to what I have to say. You ever try to have a conversation with someone? Don't you like when they have something to say about what you have to say?

Guess why I'm writing a blog. Come on, guess.

I tried multiple times to try and get a forum running and they all went under very quickly for the same reason I'm raged at my readers. No one fucking posted. Know why? No one fucking registered. Know why? No one fucking cared. And that's what it feels like now. It feels like no one fucking cares. You, the readers, are being a bunch of dick holes. And if you're reading this and thinking that it's just the readers in general, I'm telling you right now, I know who you are, readers, because there aren't a lot of you, and I'm calling on you guys specifically. You're all a bunch of dicks. If you even have anything to say about my blog or anything like that, say something in a comment or something. Serious business, I check this shit every day whether I have something to write about or not, because I'm genuinely interested in what other people have to say about what I have to say. That's why you read my posts right? You're interestd in what I have to say. And I appreciate that. But I can't tell that you're genuinely interested if I don't get any feedback. And there's nothing I can do about that. Only you.

P.S. For all you jews that are saying you can't comment cause it doesn't work, you're probably at school, and that entirely explains it. Comment at home, obviously. That means you too, Chris.

Nintendo Tiem!

Forget the rant for now, I'm writing what I want when I want so you can shove any expectations you have up your ass.

I've preordered Super Mario Bros. Wii today, and I'm pickin it up Sunday. I'm gonna jump right into the 4 player coop with Ryan, his brother, and probably Peter. It's gonna be sweet.

Also, new Zelda game coming out December 9th.

http://nintendo.ca/cgi-bin/usersite/display_info.cgi?id=8525135&lang=en&pageNum=5

That is going to be so hardcore. I mean, you control a phantom that follows you around. It's gonna be sweet, and I'll probably preorder it if it's not too busy when I pick up New Super Mario Bros Wii.

Also, while I'm on the topic of Nintendo games, I downloaded Final Fantasy from the Wii Shop channel the other day, and it's pretty sweet. I would say that it's exactly what I was looking for in terms of the RPG I was craving. The only issue I have with it is leveling up takes FOREVER, but it's helped by the fact that you don't have to level very much I don't think, since your stats skyrocket with levels. Also, everyone misses a lot. Everyone. I don't mean just your own characters, I mean your characters, enemies, bosses, whatever. Everyone misses all the time. It's kind of annoying. But you get over it.

Also the black mage. Yeah he kinda sucks, I mean all he can hold is a knife. I mean, his magic is good, but your magic has so limited uses that I rarely use magic because I'm afraid I'm gonna need it more later. And he does so little damage with his knife it's ridiculous. My white mage does more just cause he holds a hammer. And even that's getting severely outdated. I bought the black mage a new knife and I couldn't buy the white mage a new weapon at all and the hammer was still better. Also, Ryan thinks there's a blue mage. He's mistaken, and I think he was thinking of the black mage who is actually labelled as "Bl. Mage" and he wears a blue cloak. Despite his black face and yellow eyes and no other face, I can understand his mistake.

I'm letting you all down

No rant today, I changed my mind. Instead, I'm going to talk about my last/first rant, because some shit came up that I decided to change, and rather than editing the post and no one rereading it cause no one realizes it, I'm just going to change some of that up in a new post. Any logic that I state here overrides anything I said before.

First off, there are more than 2 people that I don't hate. I forgot about the existence of a few people, and they fit the bill on not being hated by me. What an honor.

Also, I changed my mind on the people-in-the-group logic itself. When it comes down to it, I hate the group, not the people. There are some people that I genuinely dislike in that group one way or another, but for the most part it's just the group. So I don't mind most of the people there in an outside situation, but I often forget about that because those situations are incredibly rare. Incredibly. Also, like I said before, I'm not naming any names. I mentioned Ryan's name before, but that was for a separate story to some degree. Still, I'm leaving everyone else to be anonymous. Unlike myself.

Another day of hard work

It's been a few days since my last post. Expect another rant in my next post, but not this one.

Today Ryan and his bro came over for some more filming, and my God, was the weather amazing. I have never lucked out so much when it came to a project. Although, that might not be necessarily true. Anyways, we got a lot of progress, I won't bore you with the details though.

Also, I decided to play some more Paper Mario 2, mostly cause I showed Ryan cause he'd never seen it in action before.

I'm also getting kinda bored of writing on the blog. Maybe there's just not enough to write about anymore. Some comments would be nice, you faggots, if I got a comment or two with a new post it might make me want to actually write. But whatever, you do your thing, I'll do mine.

A Toast to Friendship

OK guys, my original plan was to actually rant about stuff on this blog, so I'm going to put that plan into effect today. I can't usually show a lot of rage while I'm writing unless I'm actually talking to someone over msn or something, so bear with me. I've gotta say, I hate most of the people I hang around with at school. Srs bsns, I can't stand 'em. Today, we were standing in our group, and a few of them were talking about tits (that's all they talk about, they think their hilarious) and I turned to my good friend Ryan, one out of the only two people I can stand in that group, and I said "I fucking hate these people." Now... I don't think he believed me, cause he kinda laughed and said "yeah..." A few minutes later, I turned to him again and I said "I was fucking serious." Then he got really, really Goddamn nervous. I don't really know why, but he did. He also reacted about the same way as before, but a lot more nervous. I left it be at that.

I need Spencer to hurry up and transfer to Lockerby so I can fucking leave that group and do something else that doesn't make me hate my life. Maybe Ryan will come with us. I actually can't stand any of the other people I hang around at school. All they do is talk about tits, but jokingly as if they think their fucking funny, and if they talk about anything else, anything I might be interested in talking about, I'll try to get a word in. Do you think I ever do? Fucking no I don't. Even if I do, It's often completely disregarded. Last year there was this stupid friendly conflict moving through the group about charmander or squirtle being a better choice of start pokemon. They were taking a vote one day about it, and I was saying charmander was better, and that bitch said that my vote didn't count just because she disagreed with me and I so rarely get a word in i guess. I nearly flipped my shit. I played more Pokemon Red and Blue than all the pokemon she's ever played in her entire life. When I was a kid, I played that game well beyond it's time, and I beat it over and over and over again. What the Fuck kind of horse shit is it that I, with more experience with those games than any of those other fuckers have, am not allowed a word in. This was more than just some stupid fucking conflict about a video game, it was about the blatantly ignorant Fucking Cunts that pull this kind of horse shit ever Goddamn day. This kind of bullshit has never stopped, and I used to be friends with those Goddamn people. So Fuck it. I'll find some other shit to do otherwise.

It's-a Mario Time!

I've decided I'm gonna start up Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and make a new save file. Although, as fun as I find this game whenever I play it (this will make my third playthrough if I actually play through all the way) it's just a temporary fix, as I'm actually just waiting for...

NEW SUPER MARIO BROS. WII

which comes out November 15th. I'm gonna preorder it when I get the chance. It's gonna be awesome.

I was gonna rant and rave today, but I'm not in a raged enough mood, so I'll leave this nice and short. Not much to talk about anyway.

The Tower of Guidance (Spoiler Alert)

Yay, I beat Fire Emblem.
Again.

I'm gonna talk about the Tower of Guidance, the endgame of FERD. First off, you have to spend some time deciding who to take with you and then outfit them accordingly. First thing I did was take all the equipment and abilities off everyone that I wasn't going to take with me and put it all in the convoy. Then I did a bunch of other stuff. Getting into detail would be boring to write and boring to read, I'm not making a strategy guide >_>. So anyways I spent a few hours doing that. I had to leave a few units out that I wanted to take with me, but from who I could choose, I did not make a single mistake. My weakest unit was Oscar, who was absolutely necessary for the triangle attack performed by Rolf, Boyd and Oscar. I executed that attack thrice in the final battle, by the way. And Oscar wasn't exactly a turd for strength, he still packed a punch. But my God, the dragons, oh Gawd the dragons.

The dragons suck.

You get two dragons, and they are both very weak units, and you can't leave them behind because they're plot relevant in the tower. They do such little damage it's not even worth pitting them against anyone, and transforming them is only worth it to give them some defense so they don't get killed by enemy units. I blew through that tower though, and you get two more dragons a level before the final boss, and they are both far better than the other two. Only one is worth using though, as after that fight the only enemies you face use magic, and one of the dragons has terrible resistance.

No one died through the entire game. And I can't remember exactly, but I think I beat the final boss in 4 turns. It was pretty hardcore. I had a little trouble near the end of the fight where the last boss attacks everyone all at once for decent damage, cause my Heron got killed twice and Boyd got ganged by some other faggots and got killed once. But I was victorious on my 4th go, and then I did some awesome stuff and won.

But get this. Ike wasn't my main man in this game. He was 3rd. Can you guess who was 1st?

It wasn't Boyd. He was 2nd.

It was Haar. I never saw it coming. But I didn't really expect Ike to be first, I didn't use him as much as I wanted to. Still, it was a pretty hardcore run, and I know I'm gonna do another run in the future. It's just way too awesome.

But what the hell is with the dragons!? Why do they suck!? It's the only thing that baffles me. I mean, in one of the CGI cutscenes, Kurthnaga or whatever his name is flies towards a castle and scares the living shit out of everyone, including Tibarn and Ike and everybody else who could take that retard dragon rather easily, and then he breaths a huge blast that destroys one of the castle's towers and sends it down, killing hundreds.

Then he goes into the tower of guidance and blasts icey fire and a small halberdier and the guy flinches and proceeds to do double the damage to Kurth, and then does it again.

Well whatever, it's still awesome. I'm done now, of course, and I'm gonna move onto something else. Maybe I'll get tales of symphonia from brandon again or play paper mario 2 again or something. I'm thinkin I want to play and turn based RPG that isn't a JRPG, or tales of symphonia, which doesn't fit either of those requirements. But I'll come up with something.

Pinky and the Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain!

It was an interesting few days since my last post. I'll try to go in chronological order.

First off, Halloween party was pretty bitchin'. I got to Ryan's at 12:30pm, and I pretty much played Fire Emblem and helped them clean shit up and prepare for the party in between. During the party, I was playing Fire emblem, and on enemy phases I was in the party. But I was even in the party while I was playing FE most of the time so the party had more time than FE did. I just had to finish the one match anyways. My friend Spencer told me a story about him and his friend getting drunk one time. Apparently his friend, who's name I can't remember which makes me pretty angry cause I was gonna ask some other friends to see who knew him, took his pants off while he was drunk. All Spencer saw was two HUGE balls (like, elephant balls) and a tiiiiiiiiiny little prick. Laughter erupted when we heard about this. Also, Spencer was hitting on Ryan's 20 year old sister. I lol'd at that too. And there were some air-hockey accidents. And Bleskie showed up as a Priest.

After the party was over, me and my friend Lance stayed the night at Ryan's place, cause we were all gonna go back to my place the next day. Ryan couldn't get any sleep cause during the party, his baby sister, who was upstairs, started up a fever and her parents took her to the hospital. No one was happy about that. She's getting better now, but she's still in the hospital. I'm just waiting for the good news that she's fine myself but Ryan's entire family is worried sick. And I don't blame them, the baby is 1.

When we got to my place, awesome ensued. Me and Ryan took our Keyblades to a nearby park and we started filming for our video. The Kingdom Key D looks amazing on camera. We spent about an hour and a half out there, and then went back to my place because it was getting dark, and we needed good light for the video realistically. Also it was cold. Oh, and Lance was the camera man. Wouldn't want to leave him out.

When we got home we just kinda hung out, then my dad drove them home. When me and him got home, I played some Fire Emblem. Then after school today I played some more. I'll fill you in those details tomorrow though, I gotta cut this thing off somewhere.
