RSS feed for the bookmark challenged

Sun, 27 Jul 08 00:15:34 -0500

I finally realized today that it is 2008 and my blog did not have an RSS feed. So I mustered up some motivation (it was rough but the right amounts of caffeine and metal were applied and magic happened) and got to work. Now those avid readers of you out there (hahah avid readers that's a funny term to be applied here) and don't have my blog bookmarked (what a terrible thought! ...Then again I don't have it bookmarked either) can subscribe. There is a fancy icon up there in the upper right corner just above the Shoutbox. Click it and look at the wondrous feed in awe.

Team Fortress 2: The Heavy Apocalypse

Wed, 16 Jul 08 12:01:13 -0500

I like Team Fortress 2. This is no mystery. However at times I like to play in a silly manner. So, last night I played as a Heavy on 2fort, running around punching people. Some epic moments occurred, but one moment in particular shined above the rest.

I had just finished a punching rampage, which ended in my death (this happens a lot). The clock ticks as the respawn timer counts down to 0. I'm finally back in the game, and I exit the resupply zone and head out towards the sniper balcony doing practice punches on my teammates. As I make my way out to the balcony with plans to jump down below to the covered bridge which leads to the enemy base, an enemy scout is running atop the bridge preparing to leap onto our balcony. With lightning speed (for a heavy), my muscles prepare for the ultimate battle of the ages. A sniper behind me fires a shot. He just barely nicks the Scout's leg. The scout continues and prepares to make his jump just as I'm approaching the edge of our balcony to drop down below. He jumps, I jump ... and then like a scene out of "The Best Moments on Earth" (movie slated for release at the end of time) my fist connects with his pathetic soul in midair. He successfully dies, while I land on the ground (picture this in all slow motion) feeling like a true champion. The teammates which had the pleasure of viewing this most miraculous event cheered and applauded, and I ran on my way across the bridge to head into the enemy base, my morale boosted higher than ever.

Unfortunately due to all the commotion no one noticed the freakin' spy. How could this happen?!

Adventures

Sun, 13 Jul 08 14:59:13 -0500

You know what the world needs? More adventures.

When I go to work in the morning, it's boring. I get out of bed, sometimes shower (as in if I don't shower in the morning I'll shower at night, not "meh i haven't showered in a few days, haven't felt like it"), munch on some readily available food from my fridge, and then wander out the door to drive to the office. Nothing exciting there. Here's a better and way more exciting scenario:

My alarm goes off. It's 5:30AM, sweat drips down my forehead as my eyes dart around the room. I grab my ectoplasma raygun and carefully open my bedroom door. If the coast is clear, dart for the bathroom and quickly dequeue any pending bodily functions and shower. I shave my manly beard to lessen wind resistance (damn thing grows like a chia pet with miracle grow) and grab a stalk of broccoli from the fridge and munch away. I then check all the surveillance cameras on the premises before venturing to my car. On my way there a ferocious beast, half lion, half bear, all badass, attacks me from behind. I do a triple somersault backflip and take the beast on with my barehands. The brawl ends in my victorious victory, although I don't leave unscathed. I head to my car to drive to work, only to be greeted with swarms of evil ninjas (i'm a good ninja) equipped with laser shurikens. I set the car on autopilot and hop onto the roof of it and do one of those sweet "on-top-of-moving-vehicle-fight-scene" things that action movies like to do. Except this one is way more badass and has no special effects. It's all real. Unfortunately I forgot to set the car to adjust speed accordingly and I get pulled over for speeding. I call a timeout while I explain to the officer that these evil ninjas are trying to kill me, but they decide to be complete jerks and whistle innocently, claiming to have no idea what I'm talking about (grr). I take the ticket and grumble and my rage creates a fury of stormclouds to form, with lightning and thunder erupting loudly in the sky. The evil ninjas sense my rage and flee in terror. Finally I get to the office and begin my day of work.

I could totally use a sidekick, though. Volunteers? .

O is awesome

After the comments surrounding the preposterousness of MoiphML, I have decided to being work on MoiphQL.

You might ask yourself, MoiphQL? Why? Wtf is wrong with you man? Instead you should ask yourself, "that is a sweet idea." Here's a sample of the syntax used:


\m/(>_<)\m/ * NINJAS `table` RUSH `column1` = 'value' 
HEADBANG `column2` GUITAR HERO

MoiphQL is still in development and slated for release on

Lack of updates

For those of you who always wanted to be a ninja

Fri, 04 Apr 08 02:26:11 -0500

Sonic 2

was an awesome game.

If you're confused, go to index.html you freakin slacker. IT IS APRIL 1.

It has come to my attention...

that searching for "MoiphML" yields no results. MoiphML is a lightweight, easy to use, terrible way to exchange data. Simply put, MoiphML will take your data, ignore it, and insult you.


<?moiphml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-ERROR"?>
<data>
  <string>HAHAH STOP USING MOIPHML</string>
  <string>Your data was here but it was removed.</string>
  <string>I'd rather quit IRC than store YOUR data.</string>
</data>

One of the (extremely) few benefits of MoiphML is its compactness. No matter how much data you have, none of it will actually be used, so you'll always wind up with very little MoiphML.

Rock Band

Thu, 06 Mar 08 00:16:07 -0600

I love Guitar Hero. I think I've mentioned that here before, probably cursing out my roommates for getting me hooked. Anyway, this past Saturday I played Rock Band for the first time. Naturally I went for the guitar first, and went straight for expert. Of course, given my natural talent, I did just fine for most of the songs we played (I was a notably a failure when we played Rush's Working Man...), at least on guitar. Obviously we switched it around a bit and I went for the drums. Let me quickly summarize before going into more detail: OUCH.

After switching instruments, we picked an easier song and I was like "pssh how bad could this be...I'll go for medium." One of my friends (it was either joey or jon underscore, I don't recall who) strongly suggested I not be so bold. Needless to say, they were right. Even on easy, my face mostly looked like this: O_O. I started to get the hang of it after a few songs, but holy crap drums are hard. ALSO THEY ARE FUN.

I will finish this post by saying: DAMN YOU JOEY AND JON NOW I HAVE TO SPEND MONEY TO BUY ROCK BAND AND THEN WASTE AWAY PORTIONS OF MY LIFE TO PLAY IT FOR ENDLESS HOURS INSTEAD OF DOING SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE. But I can't wait :D

YAY

My car can fly

Tue, 29 Jan 08 21:45:02 -0600

So last week I went back down to campus just for fun. Just sort of hung out, ate places I hadn't been to before, played a bit of guitar hero (had to show off the new skills obtained over the last month and a half), etc. Anyway, I suppose I could go on about the week's events but I'll skip to the end. So I'm packing up my car and roommate Gary is helping me out, and somehow the fact that my car is the best ever and can fly comes into the conversation (we have conversations like this a lot). So in an attempt to prove that it can fly, I was going to say that my tires were actually wings. That's not what I managed to say though.

"Yeah well, see those tires? They're wheels".

If there's one thing I've learned from Wii bowling...

Sat, 05 Jan 08 00:41:03 -0600

...It's that real bowling sucks. I went bowling today and I didn't even break 100. IN MY DEFENSE, I have not bowled in several years. Speaking of recent events and happenings, yesterday I drove out to visit my girlfriend Karen (holy crap yes a girlfriend, I haven't mentioned that here yet). Anyway, I drove out there (in my new car of course ) and we went to Portillo's, stopped by a friend's place for some games, went to the movies -- and this is where I break for the meat of the entry.

So, we had already gone to the movies twice. The first time was to see 'Enchanted'. Clearly, she picked the movie. Now, ladies, for added bonus points for me, not only did I go see that, but to start off the day, I agreed to go with her to Macy's...for purse shopping. Talk about a dash of boring with a hint of boring (she's gonna smack me now for that one but oh well). Anyway, I went, BECAUSE I AM NICE AND ENJOY SPENDING TIME WITH HER (bonus points for that line right there), and I tried to be helpful (I failed at actually helping, hell if I know anything about purses). OH AND SHE DIDN'T EVEN BUY ONE. But that's okay. I didn't even complain. Damn I am an awesome boyfriend.

Okay, so to continue, the second movie we saw was the Chipmunks movie. Again, she got to pick that one. Now, I liked watching the cartoons as a kid...but the movie...booooo. So being the stellar boyfriend I am, I let her pick two movies, accompany her on purse shopping...and GET THIS: SHE EVEN CHANGES THE RADIO STATION IN MY CAR. Obviously this doesn't happen without complaints from me...but I let it slide...BUT THAT'S WHERE THE THIRD MOVIE COMES IN.

So I declared it was time for me to steer this relationship a bit myself and I decided we were going to see Golden Compass. I could have picked Alien vs Predator: Requiem, but I decided not to go quite that far (...this time). I also controlled the music this time around -- bringing along some Dream Theater CD's to make her accustomed to the awesomeness known as metal (some readers may dismiss Dream Theater as nothing more than garbage followed by solos followed by garbage, but I like them.)

I guess there's really not much more to tell, other than I had the victory yesterday -- and to unbreak from my original break, after the movies, we drove around for a while to find a place for ice cream, but at that hour not much was open, so we settled for McFlurry's at McDonald's. We had a nice time and I think she enjoyed the day too :) And soon she will become a Dream Theater fan. BWHAHAHAHHAHA \m/(>_<)\m/
