Joke's on you, fools!

What a bunch of goofs...

Bastards! BASTARDS!!
I just read that Penny Arcade has seized total rights to writing webcomics about the electronic entertainment industry. I am so fucking pissed off, I feel like I could explode. In fact, there have been very few times when I quite literally feel like I want to take a baseball bat to someone's stomach, but this is definitely one of those times. I posted a thread about it here.

Spaghetti is good.

I am no longer jealous of my sister.
And knowest ye why? Because I won a contest on the radio. It was a qualification for a chance to win a trip to a town you've probably never heard of -- Mexico City, or something -- to see a band you're probably not in the least familiar with -- they call themselves Modest Mouse, and everyone in the world has heard of them.

No, I'm fucking seriously not joking. I won the contest thingie last night, but I don't want to explain the contest anymore than I already have (67,230,422,498 times so far). I'll just tell you that six is my new lucky number.

I'm not sure what the overall odds are of me winning the tickets, but they can't be more than 1/6 or so. Nevertheless, even that kind of a chance is something to get excited about.

Strangely enough, I couldn't find any tour dates for anywhere out of the US on their website. Odd, but I wouldn't think that this is a prank. Too elaborate for said radio station, and I don't think they're that sadistic.

I'll find out Thursday morning who wins, and if it isn't me, I will track the winner down and steal his identity. Whoever helps me gets the extra ticket(s).

Gah!
I just found out that my sister is going to Cornerstone, the biggest Christian music festival in the known universe, and that I'm not able to come because it's a "girl trip".

That's not the part that pisses me off, though, - I wouldn't want to ride in a car all the way to Illinois with my sister and her friends, anyway - it's simply the fact that she's going and I'm not.

However, if she gets her job as a reporter for a music magazine (she probably will. She's done it before) she'll undoubtedly be able to score tons of interviews while she's there, and, consequently, get John loads of free, autographed merchandise! Hell yeah!

And even if she doesn't get the job by then, I'll still be sending some money with her so she can buy some stuff for me.

So, no, I'm not mad at her. I'm mad at the way the dice fell. And now I'm gone to go check out who's playing.

Resistance is useless
About a week or so ago, I gave a speech for Speech class (go figure, eh?) wherein we had to demonstrate how to do something. You know the one, you've all done it at some point. These are easily my favorite speeches, because... I don't know. Maybe the hands-on-ness? But anyway, they're very enjoyable both to do and watch.

My speech was on how to turn a disposable camera into a taser, as shown here. Unfortunately - and despite the working identical prototype made a few days before - Operation Taser Speech produced naught but a dud.

However, that same day (two blocks later, in fact) I was pulled by my Speech teacher into his room. Apparently, someone had been zapping people with a taser made from a disposable camera. (DUN DUN DUNNN!!) I told him I had no knowledge of this incident, and he let me be. Obviously, the culprit either got my camera out of the trash and working, or he or one of his friends just happened to have a camera on them. Either way, it's pretty damn funny. He's in in-school suspension now.

A few things to say:
1) Bloody Pingu Throw is the most addicting internet game I've played in a very long time. It's much better than it's original version, Pingu Throw, if only because of the landmines, which ensure that no matter how many times you swing for the same distance, the end result could vary greatly. (You'll see what I mean if you play it.) My top score to beat: 1017.9

2) I just talked to my brother, and I may mail him some of my drawings so he can scan them on his shiny new scanner. This means you all get to finally see some of my craptastic art. :)

3) On that note, I sorely wish I could draw well, especially on the computer (not a possibility for a lefty), and that I knew how to use flash. Because I'd make an awesome web cartoon series out of a drawing I did last night. It would be called Korporate Ninja, and I've actually fleshed out a lot of the main character's persona already.

I guess I ended that last post kind of abruptly, but I was kicked off the computer, and wasn't able to conclude it. Not that I would've done so very gracefully anyway, lol.

In other news, I've started writing my super-in-depth plans for an as-of-yet unnamed (suggestions?) country that I have decided I will establish on an artificial island in the Pacific. This country will be specifically purposed as a haven from the stupidity of the rest of the world, and the purity of that haven will be ensured through such means as detailed interviews upon entrance to the island. More on that in times to come as I get it all typed up and fleshed out. Geez, I hope I don't get bored and wimp out on this before it's done. Ah, well. Time will tell.

Quotes
And I probably but may not visit many sites today.


Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him to fish, and he'll sit in a boat drinking beer all day.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

Always remember you're unique - just like everyone else.

If a pretty poster and a cute saying are all it takes to motivate you, you probably have a very easy job. The kind robots will be doing soon.

Light a man a fire, and he will be warm for a night. Light a man ON fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life.

The less intelligent people think you are, the more surprised they will be when you kill them.

Friends help you move. Real friends help you move bodies.

Give me ambiguity or give me something else.

Some people are only alive because it is illegal to shoot them.

Life in a vacuum sucks.
