a nice discussion with a friend

12:26 PM Monday night I had a conversation with my friend Chris through AIM. He lives in Austin so it's easier to talk through internet. Well, we talked about our jobs. He thinks that I should leave my current job. I'm actually starting to consider that. Even though I've only been employed there for a year and that I'm still young when it comes to employment I feel as though I'm stuck at where I currently am. When I returned to work I found out that I didn't get the projectionist position that I was hoping for. I got a bit disapointed and then found out that management will be looking for new supervisors. The current rumor is that they're looking for 3 new supervisors. I highly doubt that I'll get that position, though my supervisor Josh told me that he believes that I could handle the position. I really don't mind leaving, even though it means leaving a few of my co-workers. I really don't care, and I doubt they'd care. Besides, it's a job. Relationships really have nothing to do with that world. Chris also said that he's been having some problems with his girlfriend. It's bad enough for him that she lives in Dallas, but she'll studying in China for a year so that makes things a bit worse for him. He then asked if I had a girlfriend yet. I told him that I'm still single and starting to believe that there's no point in me even attempting. I told him that women would have nothing to want with me. Unfortunately I easily get discouraged when it comes to women. He told me that I was wrong and mentioned that while at A-Kon there were a bunch of girls checking me out. He was probably just trying to cheer me up. I stongly believe that I'm not attractive. Chris believes that our problem is that we never realize if a girl is interested in us unless they flat out tell us. That's very true in my case. My low self esteem blinds me, always telling me "You'd never have a chance. Don't even bother. It'll all end in heartache." And by the time I find out, it's too late and the pain sucks. He asked me if I believe that my "dream girl" is out there. That one girl that understands me and acknowledges me for who I am. If anything I'd love for that to be a reality. It's a comforting thought, thinking that somewhere out there is the perfect person for you. But it's only a thought, nothing more. Chris strongly believes in that, the "girl of your dreams." I just find it comforting to think of every now and then whenever I feel down. Well, enough depressing shit for now.

Finally back...whoop de fukin' doo...right...

Well, I'm currently drinking a Ramune so I'm doing pretty good. And now the events of the past week, as written in my journal, along with a little segment called "Da Fuck?!" in which I mention a few things that made me think to myself "Da fuck?!". Included are: -an enemy made of an A/C -the unknowing flashing to a waitress -a freaky ass dream -and A BUNNY Aug 6, 2005 Ok, it's 6:49 AM. Right now I'm alone in the van listening to Killswitch Engage. We've stopped at a rest area and everyone's using the restrooms. Not sure why though, it hasn't even been an hour since we left my Tia's cabin outside Dallas. You'd think that they'd go before we left considering that family always tells you to go before leaving when you're a child. I guess I was a good listener. I think we're heading to Gainesville, TX to get gas. We left really late yesterday. We were supposed to leave around 10:30 AM; we didn't leave till about 2:00 PM. The reason is a little Collie puppy that my Tia Molly encountered the previous night. The little got ran over by a truck, several times mind you (that driver is such an ASS). Tia Molley and her youngest step-son, Andres, took the puppy to an emergency vet. They had to amputate his right hind leg. Poor little guy. I think that my tia is going to take care of the puppy when she picks it up after this trip. Little Andres got attached to the pup. When my Tia Molly, my mother, and myself went to pick up my grandparents we had trouble fitting stuff in the van. My grandmother decided to pack a lot of food. I guess that was good of her, but I hardly eat, especially during trips. The company of my grandparents is a little weird, but I'm ok with it. I've lived with them for fifteen years of my life. That's one of the main reasons why I'm considered the "favorite grandson." I find it strange, I'm the blacksheep and yet favored grandson. I love my grandparents very much, even if I may not show it at times. Since I'm not very talkative it kinda gets to them. My grandfather would sometimes ask if I don't know how to say hello. Even though he's technically my step-grandfather he's my only grandfather. Both my biological grandfathers died when my parents were kids. I remember how sad and worried i was as a child when my grandfather had a heart attack; also the time when he had colon cancer. Not much happened yesterday, just a lot of driving. It was really late when we reached my Tia Mia's cabin, which is outside Dallas. While there I met "Gatita", her little cat. Not sure if "Gatita" is her name though. She's a curious and funny little neko. And the dog "Chulita" is still quite the diva. She's a pretty dog and loves it when she's petted. I think we're going to pass Oklahoma today. It's kind of a shame though. I was hoping that we could stop off at Louisiana for a little while. I've always wanted to visit there, especially since one of my favorite books takes place in New Orleans (Interview With the Vampire). Well, I think I'll stop for now. All my friends are still in my thoughts and my heart while I'm sitting here in my gloomy corner. I just wish it wasn't so damn cold. Curse you A/C! You're now my mortal enemy for a week! Aug 7, 2005 It's currently 1:03 PM. We stayed the night at St. Louis, MO and we just finished visiting the Our Lady of the Snows Shrine. Since I'm not Catholic, or any religion for that matter, I can't really say that it was a pleasant visit for me. I was dragged there against my heathen will. But I tortured my mother with sacriligious remarks galore. This morning started out pretty badly. As my Tia Molly was backing the van out of the hotel parking lot she complained about some stuff blocking her rear view and thought she hit a red truck. She then pulled over near a Motel 6 and my tia, my mother, and my grandfather checked the rear bumper. Sure enough there was a big dent and I overheard Molly pinning the blame on me. She said that I didn't listen becuase I had my headphones on and didn't move the stuff in the back. My grandfather offered to pay for the damage because he packed the stuff in the back. Before we een left he offered to stay outside and help guide my tia while pulling over. I got really pissed as I heard her blame me. I hate how it seems to always be my fault while near that woman. Gee, I wonder why I feel like I don't belong in this family? Well, the paint in the dent wasn't even red; it was white. So the most sensible scenario is a hit-and-run last night. I overheard that Molly was crying during a confessional earlier while we were at the church. My mother told me not to worry about being blamed. I didn't really care much becuase I'm used to being blamed about stuff. I just hate how I feel that I don't belong anywhere whether it's my family and even at times with my own friends. Well, I really don't feel like writing about my sacriligious thoughts and actions while at the shrine. I'm still a bit upset. Aug 8, 2005 Well we're finally leaving Missouri. It's 3:08 PM and we're now heading for Iowa. I'm feeling ok, still my quiet self, dressed in black, and listening to Dir en grey. Hell's yeah. We picked up my cousin Will in Illonis yesterday. I met some of his family members from his father's side. Nice people, though I didn't talk much. They probably think that I'm rude or arrogant, *sigh* that tends to happen to the quiet one. My cousin went on a tour of Missouri University while the rest of us waited. He said he enjoyed it and likes the campus. That's good for him I guess. Last night I watched Gothika on HBO. It was a good movie plus I like Halle Berry. She's one of those few actresses that I find really attractive. At times my mother would say, "Watch this, it's a scary part." She's seen the movie before and she told me it was pretty scary, but it's not. I told her "What the hell are you talking about? This isn't scary." I asked my cousin to turn off the lights during the movie but he wouldn't. He kept saying that it was scary. I don't know if he was serious or just being annoying; he's three months younger than I am. While packing the van I noticed that I had two voice mails. I got a bit excited, but wouldn't you know it: my phone was being retarded and wouldn't let me check them. I'm going to buy a new one sometime after I get back. Everyday I've been thinking of my friends and the memories I have of them. I fear the day that I may never see them again. I hate being lonely. Even though I've been used to it for years in my life I still loathe it and it is my greatest fear. Aug 9, 2005 10:34 AM. We just checked out of the Travelodge hotel in Iowa City and are heading out. My cousin is going to visit Iowa University while my mother, grandparents, and I do laundry. *unenthusiastic woot* Last night was really embarassing for me. Here's what happened: After checking into the hotel and unpacking our stuff we got hungry. My cousin wanted to eat at a nearby restaurant called Bob's Your Uncle (ironically we have an uncle named Bob). The restaurant was nice, it was a combination of a pizza parlor with a sports bar & grill. Well we all took our seats and the waitress Nicki came to our table. I thought she was attractive (I guess Iowa has some good stuff after all j/k) and she stood right over my left shoulder *key fact*. We all ate our food and drinks. I ate a cajun chicken sandwich with fries and an iced tea. The sandwich was very good and filling as well. Not to mention expensive; it cost about $8.95. It was right as we were about to leave when I realized it. MY FLY WAS OPEN THE ENTIRE TIME! And I was wearing my boxers too! That's like double the open fly! I was revealing my "manhood" to the waitress everytime she was standing next to me, which was also everytime she came to our table! Man I was really embarassed. When we returned to the hotel room I told my mother what happened. She replied with, "So what? You tipped her a little extra!"...>,>...*sigh*... Moving on. I talked to Mike last night. He told me that he and Seth dubbed this one guy in band Jebidiah. I started laughing. We then started saying "Damn it Jebidiah! Get out of my house!" and then a slow retarded "Wha?" I forgot to tell Mike that I found Chris' restaurant. While driving I saw a store called The Hungry Hobo. I laughed to myself and immediately thought of Chris. Last night I had the strangest dream. It was a bunch of people holding a parade for a red guy with horns. I quickly assume that would be the devil. But I doubt he'd look like that if Satan exists. Matt M was there too. He and I were just hanging around somewhere near the crowd. Well, then there was a bunch of panicking and people running away. Matt and I were both running upwards on a slope against the crowd running downwards. Matt was a bit further ahead though. I then saw Sam running towards me. I grabbed her arm and then kissed her (yes, on the lips...you curious people you...). I kissed her again but it felt as though she was not letting me. I then let go of her, looked at her as if it would be the last that I would see of her, and continued running against the massive panicking crowd. That was I could remember of that strange dream. I find it very confusing. Why was I running towards something everyone was fleeing from? Why was Matt there? And why was Sam there? Aug 10,2005 2:31 PM. I just finished visiting my grandmother, Elaine Shaffer, and my Aunt Wendy for the first time in my life. I also saw Oelwein High School where my father graduated from. It was an ackward experience. First off she lives in a nursing home, so lots of old people were there. Also becuase it was my first time meeting her. According to her nurse she was excited about me visiting her. She's a nice lady, my grandmother, however her hearing is a little off so it was a bit difficult talking to her since I'm quiet a lot. I found out that the Shaffer family is really huge. I always knew that my father is the 19th child out of 20 and I found out today that I have over 50 cousins in that side of my family. My eyes widened when my Aunt Wendy told us that my grandmother had over 50 grandchildren and over 40 great-grandchildren. After she said that I made a remark that it was in preparation for global conquest. My Aunt Wendy was saying that I resemble my father, I'm not sure how though. She also told us that she and my grandmother were trying to organize a Shaffer family reunion, but it's difficult since we're all spread out. And I finally found out where I get my quietness from. According to my grandmother all the Shaffers are a distant and quiet family. That we all tend to keep to ourselves most of the time. I guess I have that loner in my blood as well as the need to be helpful to those important to me. As I've told myself many times: there's no way I can escape my father. I have too much of him within me. Excluding the psychaotic side so far... My mother was telling me that Molly was annoying her becuase as my mother is trying to have a conversation with her ex-mother-in-law and ex-sister-in-law Molly would butt right in and start talking about her glorious fuck-up of a son that's my cousin. Will is not the brightest bulb out there and it's bad enough that Molley won't let him grow up. Changing subject. The weather up here is pretty nice, though I doubt that I'd ever live up here. I think my Aunt Wendy wants me to go to Iowa University. i will admit that Iowa City was a nice place, a lot better than Waterloo. Yesterday was the hottest day in Iowa since the 1980s. The record high is now 97 degrees; today is 86 degrees. Yesterday my tia was talking about how hot it was up here and I just laughed becuase it's nothing compared to the 100 degree heat back in San Antonio. We're finally heading back home and I'm really excited. Hopefully we'll be back Thursday night. P.S. I saw the cutest little bunny running around outside the nursing home while I was visiting my grandmother. Kawaii! Aug 11, 2005 2:44 PM. I just got finished taking a shower. I'm finally back home! I arrived sometime around 1:30 PM. The original plan was to drive to Kansas City, rent a hotel, and then head to San Antonio arriving later today. Thankfully my grandfather just said, "Let's just drive all the way." I was really glad that he came on this trip. Not only is he generous but he talks the most sense. Everytime Molly started complaining and over exaggerating about something my grandfather would set her staight. Around 2 in the morning my cousin Will started bitching about wanting to sit in the front of the van. Molly gave in to his whining and let him sit shotgun with my grandfather. Will needs to learn to grow up. He's 17 yet stiff whines like when he was 7. The problem about sitting shotgun is that it's your responsibility to help navigate and keep the driver awake. Instead Will starts falling asleep, that idiot. I then decided to keep myself awake incase Will decided to doze off, so I started randomly reading aloud street signs like "192 miles to Dallas!" Later on my grandfather started occupying Will with simple questions and riddles that stumped him. *Inside Fact: Will was my inspiration for Jebidiah* It seemed grandfather had things under control so I rested for a bit. When it was around 4 AM it was my turn to sit shotgun since I couldn't sleep in the van (quite uncomfortable). I had to accompany my Tia Molly though. As much as she annoys me it was my responsibility to keep her awake. I drank an Amp energy drink, which tastes nasty btw, while I talked to Molly about music and random/pointless things. I was so happy when we reached Texas at 6:20 AM. For the remainder of the return trip I sat in the back and watched Princess Blade, Hellsing, Escaflowne, and Naruto. I have to say that I've never seen so many corn fields and old people before until this trip. Not to mention a parked horse and carriage at a store. Also, I favor Iowa City over Columbus, MO. Later on I'll type this online and hopefully talk to some my friends. I'm also looking forward to the get-together/B-Day party at Diversions this Saturday, even though I feel that it's not going to be much of a turn-out. Hopefully I'm wrong. P.S. Many of my friends were constantly in my heart and mind throughout this trip. And now for! DA FUCK?! ok, here are three things that I encountered during this trip that made me say "Da Fuck?!": -A 3 Musketeers bar that said "May Contain Peanuts" -A "Big Texas" Cinnamon roll manufactured in Chicago,IL -A rest area in Missouri that will fine you and arrest you for a year for litering yet there's no easily sightable trash cans! ...and uh...that's it...eeyup...laters.

Quite a Naruto day

8:36PM Yeah, today was pretty much a Naruto day. I went to Matt's this morning and we played some of the Naruto fighting game. He had to get some practice with Itachi though since he hasn't used him in a long time. We then did 2Player Arcade. It was pretty funny becuase one time Matt and I used our specials at the same time (I was Gaara) his took effect first, so after our opponent was tortured there I was in my ball of sand. When my special was over I pretended that Gaara said "What did I miss?!" Also Matt and I came to the conclusion that while inside his ball of sand, Gaara is busy watching TiVo. I then had to help Matt weed out the flower bed. It didn't take very long, but it was tedious and not to mention it was hot outside. I asked "Why the hell did I wear black today?!" and Matt simply responded "Becuase you always wear black."...>,> I tore up my left pinky a bit...damn weeds...so I put on a Band-Aid when we were done. Also I kept accidently ripping off the weird purple plant thingys that look like they came from another planet. They make this weird funky noise when you move them around though. Afterwards Matt and I headed out for Robert's house. He has a big house with a nice pool, but pool's aren't really my thing. Matt then attempted to unlock a stage for him in Smash but later he stopped playing. Then Robert looked up some of the Ninth Edition Magic cards while I played against Matt. I was using my Black/Green spirit deck and he was using one of Robert's decks. I beat his deck twice in a row, finishing off with Devouring Greed MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Well, afterwards we headed downstairs and started watching the Naruto anime since Robert hasn't seen it. While watching Matt and I got hungry and we couldn't raid Robert's fridge. So we ordered Chinese from Kwik Wok. At first Matt didn't want to becuase he thinks they suck, but I told him that it was better than nothing. They messed up my order though, I asked for an extra eggroll and didn't get it >,< Well, Matt said the food was pretty good. Robert got Lemon Chicken and Matt and I split an order of General Tso's Chicken. When Matt and I were done eating we kept telling Robert to hurry up becuase we were eyeing his food, especially his eggroll. When were done eating we continued watching more Naruto. We weren't able to watch all of the 16 episodes that I have, so Matt and I just showed him the cools key parts. Then we played some Naruto. I wasn't doing to well with my Sasuke against Matt's Itachi since so I used my Gaara. Robert wasn't much of a threat becuase his Zabuza's not that great. He then started asking why he was having to fight Matt instead of the computer like I was. Matt told him becuase if he and I switched then I would start winning. Well Robert and I did switch and sure enough my Gaara started kicking some ass! Hell yeah! Matt and Robert then started teaming up on me. At times I won, but some times Matt's combos would get the better of me. heh, my Gaara is really cheap, but it's fun =) Well, I have 1 day left till I have to leave. I don't wanna go! T,T but they're forcing me to.. Ja ne

wow, I actually spent time with co-workers

1:21AM Well, I ended up going to Aaron's apartment earlier..lesse..yesterday, considering the time. It was pretty fun. Not a lot of people showed up unfortunately. When I first arrived Aaron, Roger, and Becka were there. I think they were playing Worms on the Gamecube. It was pretty funny, but I also thought it was very weird. We then played Smash. I did pretty good. It usually ended up with me and Aaron left against each other. It was weird that Roger chose Mr. Game & Watch, it was pretty funny as well. Becka chose Yoshi and she did pretty good. I didn't have to worry about becoming amorous though becuase she didn't own me with Yoshi. Usually she was the first eliminated. I felt bad though everytime I killed her...>,> but it was fun beating up Roger and Aaron. Then we played Naruto. I was doing ok with my Sasuke, but I was kicking ass with my Gaara. I was mostly fighting against Becka though due to the default targeting. It was her first time playing and she used Itachi. She did pretty good for a beginner, even though she had no idea what she was doing X)Later Roger used Akamaru, the dog. That character is extremely annoying becuase he's hard to hit. I had to use Temari and as I'm trying to kill Roger, Becka is attacking me, wtf? Also Roger's Shino is even more annoying than Noel's Shino. I was being pretty annoying with my Gaara. I would do my Down+X special which surrounds Gaara in Sand and attacks with a giant fist. Well, when I'd get surrounded by the sand I would target Roger or Aaron who are fighting each other on the other side of the arena XP . I was pretty much going easy on Becka so that I would'nt feel bad. But it was funny hearing their surprised reactions. Aaron was like "Woah! That thing was aiming at me! WTF?!" Later Musoke and Stephanie came over. Not my supervisor Stephanie (we have 3 that work there). She's cool too. She was wearing a shirt that said "I eat pussy!" it was hilarious, and yeah she's a lesbian but she's really cool. Musoke then started playing Naruto in Becka's place. He's pretty good, but he can sometimes be extremely cheap. Especially when I'm using my Gaara, who's cheap as well. Then Roger left after a while. Then we played some more Smash. It was Aaron, Musoke, and myself. Steph played off and on. It was funny when she was using Pikachu! Becka didn't play this time, but she was back-seat gaming most of the time. She was mostly yelling out for someone to kill me. I was like "WTF?! Why does everyone always target me?!" I wonder why she wanted me dead? Musoke's Sheik is pretty good, but Matt is better. Aaron's Mario and Ness are also pretty good. I think us three were pretty even in those games. But it was fun. Later Steph and Becka left. I really didn't say Good-bye 'cause...hmmm it's kinda hard for me to say. I can't really say that it's my thing or that's the way I am. I'm just not good at saying Good-bye I guess. I felt Becka kinda run her hand through my hair though. It felt pretty good, but I didn't say anything. After the girls left, we played Guilty Gear. It's been a long time since I played so I sucked pretty badly. Also I'm used to the XBox version so it took some getting used to. Then Musoke left, so Aaron and I played against each other. Later Spam showed up. He doesn't work at the theatre anymore though. He now works at USAA. It was great seeing him again though. Then later at 11:30 I had to leave 'cause my mother was waiting for me somewhere. It was great being able to have spent that time with my co-workers. Especially since I won't see them for a while. I think Becka sounded shocked (unless my mind was messing with me) when I told them that I wouldn't see them for about 2 weeks. Well, I'm gonna go hang out with Matt and some of the others tomorrow...ok well..actually today. 1 DAY TILL THEY TAKE ME AWAY!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!

Boredom! RAWG!

5:42PM Yeah, I'm bored. Not to mention that my cousin is bugging me on AIM. I couldn't go to Matt's house today 'cause I might go to my supervisor's apartment tonight and my mother said "One or the other". So since I have two days off after today I figured go to Aaron's tonight and go to Matt's or whoever tomorrow. I'm looking forward to playing against everyone from work in Smash Melee. Though I'm hoping that none of my female co-workers will own me. Why you ask? Becuase I have this thing that when women completly own me and kick my ass in a fighting game that I'm good at, I become quite amorous. In other words, I'd quickly fall in love with her and all that shit....>,>...yeah....I'm a geek that way...and that's why I hesitate to play against a girl in a fighting game... I'm hoping that I don't go up against my Supervisor Stephanie. I hear she's really good with Marth and it's bad enough that I think she's attractive. I was just thinking of how my friends and I have gotten better in Smash throughout this summer. Especially myself. I used to suck hardcore. That is until my friend Noel trained me in a night. In one night I became so much better than I used to be! And I'm still slowly improving. I remember when I couldn't even touch Matt and Mike, and now I've gotten really close to defeating Mike. Though I'm still second weakest in our Smash Gang right in front of Joey. But even Joey has gotten better as well. He's moved on past C Sticking and uses Link like Mike does. Well, I'm done for now I guess. To all those that actually read this: What's up! Thanks for spending your time here, hope it wasn't wasted! ...and if no one is here, then....*crickets chirping* Ja ne! 2 DAYS TILL I LEAVE!! T,T

Not as pissed.....>,>

1:36AM Well in retrospect I think of Saturday's events as this. At least it took two people to take down Mike and I! Also that I could take down any one of those pansies one on one! I was talking to some of my co-workers about the tourny and they thought that the "four player free for all" was a very crappy idea. And that Foxes and Falcos can be really cheap. Oh yeah, Mike mentioned yet another girl that I should attempt to ask out. Some girl that works at the GameCrazy. I don't even know her! It gets really tiring having those guys push me into getting a girlfriend. When the time comes, it'll come. Until then I'll just continue my years of solitude. Well, I worked quite a bit today. I was originally scheduled for 2-10, but they were going to send me home early and I wanted some extra hours, so I took the rest of this guy's closing shift. During the evening we got hungy, so we had a food run for Subway. Well, Jarred came back with the food and asked if I wanted to eat before Eddie. I knew that Eddie was hungry before me, so I let Eddie eat first. Then I asked if Jarred was hungry and he replied that he was starving, so I let him eat before me as well. Then I realized as Jarred went to eat: I HAVN'T EATEN ANYTHING ALL DAY!! Well, it didn't matter 'cause I finally got to eat my Turkey sandwich on wheat bread w/lettuce, tomato, cheese, and mayo. mmmhmm! Plus I ate with Becka!...even though it was just mostly silence...and the sounds of Buffy on the TV...yeeeeaaaah... When I got home around after midnight I had to take out the trash! *unenthusiastic yay!* All I can say is "Thank You GLAD!" 'cause the bag didn't rip very much with all that crap and whatnot. Also my mother was telling me more about some high school girl that she works with that is somewhat interested in me. Problem is: she can't get my name right. First it's Jacob, and now it's Joseph. A few months ago that same girl wanted to go with me to my school's prom. I told my mother "I don't even know her!" and I didn't go anyways. *shrugs* eh, it's not really that big a deal to me. Hmm,...another way I'm similar to Sasuke. If a girl has an interest in me I really don't care about it...(that and the fact that I'm oblivious at times >,> but..the majority is the latter. that is when i take an interest in them. certain people may know what I mean) Oh yeah, my stoner friend called today! I was at work though, so I might try to call him tomorrow...which is today...wtf? Also Ryan called as well. He called twice asking if I was home and my step-father answered both times. He was half-asleep, so in the second call he told Ryan "No fool! He's at work!" and went back to bed. I kinda laughed when I found out, but also felt bad becuase he's my friend. I'm gonna try to contact him as well. Well, oyasumi. FOUR MORE DAYS TILL THEY TAKE ME AWAY!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!! DOSHITE?!?!?!?!

Today's Lesson: Pansies are cheap assholes!!

6:56PM Ok, to start off: today was the day of the Smash tournament at GameCrazy. Well, I'm gonna skip the details of this morning to straight to the tourny. First off, it wasn't "one on one" instead it was "four player free for all". We had to each draw a number from a hat. Matt and Joey got a 3, Mike a 1, and I got a 5. Here's a quick run-down on the chars we use: Matt-Sheik Mike-Link, used Peach though in the first match Joey-Link myself-Marth I also met this one guy who I thought was pretty cool. He went to A-Kon16, but his friends were annoying as hell! First Round: Mike was first up against a bunch of kids. Since two of them used Link he decided to use his Peach. Well, he won easily. Later it was Matt and Joey's turn. Matt beat all the other three players and won. By the time the fourth match started I got worried becuase I found out that this one guy (who I thought was really good) was in the final match along with myself. The reason why Matt and I thought he was good was becuase he said that he went up against the US Champ and didn't win. So my turn came up. I was up against a Link, and two Foxes. I was the only Marth in the whole thing. Well, it turned out that the guy who I thought was good really sucked. The Link was eliminated and it was just myself and the Foxes (which one of them was that guy). Well, I was doing really good. Better than I thought I would, though my heart was pounding throughout the whole time. One ass was really annoying and all he did was stay out the fray and shoot with his damn laser. Then the two foxes were like "Hey, how 'bout we team up against that Marth?" and the guy who I thought was good said "Sounds like a good idea to me!" SO THEN THEY TEAMED UP AGAINST ME!!! THE DAMN PANSY KEPT "LASER SPAMMING" ME WHILE THE OTHER FOUGHT ME! So constantly I'm taking damage. I then eliminate the crappy guy and I'm left with the pansy. Well, I'm really weak so he easily kills me after he loses one of his lives. THOSE ASSHOLES!!! Second Round: Matt advances, also whooping the ass of the bastard that cheaply eliminated me (he used the same strategy again yelling "Don't attack me!"...ASS >,>..). Oh, and get this, during Matt's match Mike overheard the crappy guy say that he was going to grab his Wavebird and attempt to interfere with Matt's controller (he was using a Wavebird as well). So he leaves and heads for his car getting his Wavebird and puts it in his pocket. THE NERVE OF THAT BASTARD!! THAT'S REALLY LOW!! But Matt won before he came back. Then Mike is up against a Fox and Falco. The Falco was really annoying becuase he just stayed out of the fray and fired his laser, which makes you flinch by the way. So Mike is having trouble with his combos and is eliminated. Final Round: It's Matt versus the guy that went to A-Kon. Sheik Vs. Fox. Mike warns Matt of the crappy guy's plan, so during the match Mike and I are keeping our eyes set on him to make sure he doesn't attempt to cheat Matt out. Well, the guy was pretty good, but not as good as Noel's Fox. Unfortunately, Matt wasn't focused very well and lost. He was kicking ass at first, but then lost it. Mike and I were really pissed during the tourny because we both got eliminated by team attacks. It's really sad when you have to gang up on someone to get a win. Well, as we were about to leave that guy who won ran up to us and asked about where we lived. He said that he wants to play against us again. I'd like to go up against him as well, but Mike and I want nothing to do with his other friends. Matt gave him his address and we're hoping on meeting him again. While walking back home, Mike and I were ranting quite a bit. And we all agreed that it would've been better if it was "one on one". Even though it would've been more time consuming, it would be more fairer competition wise. Well, that's all for my ranting today. Sorry if I may have bored you with it...that is if anyone reads this anyways. Ja ne.

I sold movie tickets to Funaki!!

7:27PM Ok I'll admit. I'm a bit of a wrestling fan. And for those of you familiar with the WWE you'll probably know who Funaki is from Smackdown! Well, while at work this Asian lady came up with her two kids to order movie tickets for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. She was having some trouble with her English so I helped her as much as I could. She seemed to appreciate it cause she was smiling. Anyways, as I glanced behind her I saw this strangly familiar guy with a red Hulkamania T-shirt on. A co-worker and I were like "That person seems very familiar." I had an idea who he was but I forgot his name. It wasn't until he went inside that I realized "Holy Shit!! That was Funaki!!" I started freaking out! Another co-worker, who's also a wrestling fan, was following him for a while. Her supervisor was wondering what the hell she was doing and she told him "That's Funaki!" Then she and I talked about how freaked out we were about seeing Funaki "Smackdown!'s Number One Announcer!" and some other co-workers were like "Da Fuck?!" But I would've been more freaked out if was the Undertaker!! I'd be like "Please make me your apprentice!" ....yeah....I'm weird that way.....well laters. THE POWER OF BOREDOM COMPELS YOU!!!.......well it does me....
