Woooo!
Accomplishment is sitting in the full lotus position until you master your pain. :D

...only took me 15 minutes.... O_o

For those lannies out there.. I'm still hyperactively promoting and working on the production.

My LAN will most likely fall on the 10th of april, that a monday night, it'll go well into tuesday, and that whole week is spring break.

If this conflicts with you let me know.

Gotta go, I'm gonna play a quickie before I go to bed and get up tomarrow at 6.

Linkology

I'm going to link, and relink a bunch of people..

Some are new, some have been on here before.

I'll filter out the bad-apples, but for the time being, this is the fold.

~Added: If you want to stay linked, these are things I ask,
Post regularly, once every two weeks minimum, but those better be damn good posts.. I understand everyone has their writer's block, but if you dont write anything, then you obviously dont have anything you want anyone to read right? so that probably means you dont want anyone to read your site, and I wouldnt want to trouble you with posting regularly, so I'll just unlink you.

Keep your site up, Content is good, a clean site is good.. I dont want to unlink someone for using tons of GIF's or something....

Thats all.. I'm not a tight-wad or a jerk.. I just run a tight ship :D

Lan! Lan! Lan! LAAANNDD! WOOOOO
And then.

I'm planning another one of those LAN get-togethers, but I need to figure out what normal humans beings celebrate, so that I can plan it in coordination with some holiday that everyone will have school off for.

As usual, the party will probably run from 6PM-3PM the next day.

Good times.

Hopefully we'll have a wide selection of games that everyone will like, by everyone I mean the picky people, and those with computer who cannot handle more recent games, both of those qualities we find in joshie.

The line-up: Tribes2, Counter-strike, The Specialists, Half-life, Battle-field 1942, BF1942: Desert Combat and anything anyone else can conjur (or request)

The peoples: If you read this site, know me, and you're in southern california, then you're probably invited.. these are people I specifically need to contact.. (this list is more for me than for you, because I forget) : Ryan, Christian, Steve, Miki, Sho, Randy and Cody.

This is some basic information:
1)Bring your own equipment; keyboard, mouse, power cables, monitor, tower, headphones* and network cables(if you have them).... If you cant bring something, or forget something, We *MAY* be able to lend you a spare. I have plenty of CAT-5 networking cable cut, so networking cables this shouldnt be an issue.. if you can bring yours, all the better.

*Speaker systems will not be allowed! sorry guys, noise from one game bleeds into someone elses, and then everyone can hear your gunshots. We all have nice systems we want to listen to our games on, but headphones will have to do.

2)Fees. This is still up in the air, but I may need to ask for some donations to go towards food and (good)drinks.

3)Order. I know I dont have to say this, but keep your hands to yourself, your gear in a relatively small area, and dont break anything that doesnt belong with you.

4)Time and place. probably 6pm 'til the next day whenever everyone leaves.. the only real rules are that you stay up all night, and that we all have a good time :D. Sleeping arrangements will be provided.. so will a nice big dinner if my mom is game.

Place is my house, located off of mile-square park, but you'll have to get directions from me, because I'm not about to post those online.

That should be everything, contact me to RSVP and for updates.
My Number is 839-4804
My Email is tastysnax@yahoo.com
My AIM is manormouseman
My YIM is tastysnax

Here's the information from last time

Shiggah bang!

ooga booga..

shmmeeee-bop!

beep.

Anyways, sitting on the toilet tonight, I laughed at the sex appeal in all things being sold: half-naked women wearing clothing from a brand of paintball gun, but do hot representatives REALLY effect how WELL the gun performs? probably not..

I personally like the girl for the WDP Angel, the tattoos on her back are cool... er.. yeah.

Point being: the image, prospect or appeal of sex, in any form, is being far too over-played in all things.. honestly, look at apparrel, we all know that a good looking dress can effect how a woman looks, But honestly, wearing the right shoes, socks, pantyhose or even using the right TAMPON has been credited with making you gals out there look better...

It is ridiculous. Silly silly silly media, pitching everything in one box.. and sillier consumers, because they love it like candy.

Other than that, I woke up with a wicked stiff neck today, and money on my mind... I have all of the big-boy wants, with none of the big-boy tools... no license, no insurance, no car and no job, all I have is a picture i.d. and the big gorgeous brain in my head to work with..

I'll make due.

~As a side-note, I need to get out of the habit of writing where I had the idea, its just one of those silly little things I start all of my prayer journal entries with, I describe my atmosphere, and then I describe the thought.. I kind of loath form.. but thats just fine.

Lately I've been working out and taking my vitamins(and bone/joint supplements), and I'm feeling good.. ready to go paintballing! (I'll try to only mention paintballing once per post)

doo.... weep.. beep

shnork.

Heads up

This is a quicky list of things you can do to make your blogging cleaner, crisper, and hopefully, a more enjoyable experience for your readers.

First off, people dont mind hearing about your day, but its usually best to decieve them into enjoying it by putting a humourous slant on things.. generally, if you dont make fun of your day, people will laugh at your boring posts, which is quite a similar thrill.. however, you want to be the one doing the joking, so that you're in control of who comes back to read your blog again.

Second, when you're posting- even I do this -try not to run your thoughts together, otherwise people will tend to get lost, and they wont get what you were trying to get acrossed as easily... remember people, EVERYONE IS STUPID, so at some point they'll lose interest in reading your page at the sheer size of a paragraph.

Third, While exact spelling may not make so much of a difference, going back over a rant and organizing all of the sentences and cleaning the grammar can make a world of difference... if even one word is off you can leave someone confused with what you're trying to say.. it all goes back to rule #1, people are stupid.

Fourth, Aside from spoon-feeding humourous grammarically and punctuatively correct statements for your readers to eat up like puppies eating bolognia, you'll want to include plenty of content.. people like things they can interact with; link to other sites, message boards for feedback, images and galleries of what you're talking about in a post and even sound-bytes will enhance your reader's experience, and thus, they come back and read more.

Thats all I can muster.. other than that, post regularly.. it doesnt matter how hollow or boring a post is, just stay regular and people will know that you're going to post again, thus, they check for new posts weekly, or even daily, waiting for you to post again.

Current Music : Linkin Park - With you

Rant-- boooom

Overlooked youth.
so very underappreciated,
Misused by bad leadership,
Sent in the wrong direction.

A leader searches for talent,
But only the kind he can control,
Brilliance is held down constantly,
For fear he may lose control of it.

Subordination is easy, but undesired.
The leaders send us off hither and thither,
With no real application of our talents,
On paper I'm junk, but in practice I can do it.

They don't want me because of my age,
Everything I do is overlooked because I'm-
Too smart, or too young... we can't have that.
Those kids are out of control!

That's just my leaders, think of the rest of the cattle-
Who, disrespect me and don't even try to coexist.
Make love not war was the slogans of their era,
But they've lost their love for their very own--

Flesh and blood, falling down to cry,
We can't do this on our own,
They don't care, but that's not our fault..
Just another road-block on the path of life.

You're not allowed there until you've been-
Crusted over and callous, by the same system that you become.

In these odd years, youth is stronger than ever,
And ever misguided by themselves because they don't stand up.

It makes me sad to not only be overlooked by my leaders,
but also by my peers: they don't care,
All of the 'normal' ones too, they look at me like I just killed someone.
Like I just snapped and broke off from the whole game of life...

This blood isn't on my hands, my generation is united in its pain,
But divided by its differences so easily.
Its so agonizing to be overlooked in the crowd,
To know you can, but to be labeled.

Fortunately for us, we've been seen and heard by the only One who matters.
The only one who knows what we can really do, given the motivation.

We can do all thing through Christ who strengthens us,
In this generation, talent and ability flow to all flesh,
Young and old alike are empowered, but do nothing
Who'll stand up? Will you?

Theres a first time for everything

This is the first time anything has gone from my composition book into my blog... enjoy~
~
Advancement
Earth decays around roads and buildings,
Technology advances and consumes nature,
Development is base, and improvement is expected.

Empires burn, and new ones rise from the ashes,
3,000 years on this young earth,
And every nation has had its chance to shine:
...Its chance to dominate the world.

Its America's turn now, and we will.
And when we gain international subjugation,
The world will come to an end.
~

Its 1:15am... I'm not proud... or tired.
