Well Hello There

I don't update this often. I rarely even think about it.
Nothing much has gone new.
Been to Atlanta a few times for IBM classes, and I am actually going back to Atlanta tomorrow afternoon. I've also been to the IBM center in Palisades, NY. I'm actually going back to that center in December. Last time I went, I visited NYC twice. I got to eat the best calzone I have ever had in my life. No joke. Little Italy > *
I also got to play some Third Strike at China Town Fair Arcade. Was a fun trip.

Today marks four years with the love face.
<3<3<3
She means the world to me.

Yesterday, some sort of big news.
Bought two things...
A 46" LCD HDTV and a PS3.
Well I suppose three things now that I think about it. I also ordered a HDMI cable from monoprice.com. Cost me seven dollars shipped. Take that overpriced electronic stores.


Four years.
That's a presidential term.
Hey, that's almost like a reference to current affairs.

Oh yes, November 8th. That would be the move in date to an apartment.


Four years.
The same number of blades on a certain razor.

Four years goes by quick.
But when I sit here and think about it, so much has happened within that four year time frame. All of it good. It's actually quite surprising how much has happened in four years.

Something Different

Life is good right now.
For the first time I can say that life is good.
I have a career starting. I'm making some money.
Life is good.

Hello You

Well, here we are again. Months after my last post. I'm pretty bad about updating this thing. But I also don't really care.

I am back in Texas. I'm looking for a job. Sending resumes everywhere.
I now own a photo printer.
And NS papercrafts. >.>

I have a crap load of photos from my trip.
I still have to go through them all.
I have sorted them by area, but that is about it.
Just the thought of going through 500~ photos makes me steer away from it.
I should just do one area at a time. I need to get on that.

After I eventually go through the photos, I will post some of the better ones online.

Theresa is still a cute face.
And her engrish is getting much better.

done for now

Finished editing my page.
Rearranged the bar to the right. I also updated some things. And made a new banner. Not a big fan of the font, but I can't remember the name of the font I wanted to use so I could download it. Oh well, good enough for me.

Also, new commenting system. Using bloggers commenting.

Well, well, well....

Working on editing the look of this blog. Why? Because I've wanted to for some time now and I have a lot of free time currently.
Will something actually come out of this? Possibly. I'm already working on editing the page, but if when it's all over and I don't like it, I'll just leave it as is. I'll change the banner though. Been wanting a new banner for a while now.

IT'S LIKE A GOAL!

HELLO

Well, I'll catch you later internets. I am tired from today and am going to bed. Long day of packing/moving crap/buying things tomorrow.

Keep it real.

QuakeCon and Projekt Revolution

QuakeCon is this weekend. A gang of us went to QuakeCon on
Thursday. Free stuff is great. Got about three shirts and played
on an awesome new mouse logitech is releasing. Logitech is also
releasing a new keyboard. Looks pretty awesome. Played a beta of

Left 4 Dead.
THIS GAME!
OHOHOHO, THIS GAME!
This game is the BEST zombie game I have ever played in my life.
Luis, Robert, Manny, and myself played it together. It was way too
much fun. I can not wait for this game to come out. The way
zombies swarm you in this game is INTENSE! Think, 28 Weeks
Later/New Dawn of The Dead type zombie. They SPRINT at you. And the
animations that they us for them is just PERFECT. I can't even
begin to explain to you how great this game is.

Go there.


I went to the Projekt Revolution concert today in Dallas.
Projekt Revolution is some tour that Linkin Park does with a bunch
of other bands. I don't actually like Linkin Park and had no plans
on attending this thing, BUT, Placebo and MSI were going to play
it. So for this fact alone, I bought a ticket some time ago.
MSI was ending the acts on the second stage so I didn't show up to
the concert until around 2:30 or so. I really don't care about the
other bands, because they suck. Bunch of emo suck bands.
Anyways, I worked my way through the parking lot and to the
entrance. Before the entrance, Subaru had a black WRX parked there
looking sexy. Went in, found the way to the second stage and
walked around the vendors area.
After walking around for a bit, I started working my way for the
second stage to see MSI. Got pretty close to the stage and stood
there waiting.
When the drummer came out, the crowd went nuts.
MSI live is too good. I really, really, really enjoyed watching
them. Jimmy feeds off the crowd and just explodes on stage. He
also mocks people, which is great.He made fun of emo bands and Hot
Topic. He also made fun of Warped Tour. That made me laugh pretty
hard.
After one song, he demanded a sacrifice for the gods. The
sacrifice that he wanted was a cigarette. After he said that, a
million(yes, literally a million,I counted) packs of cigarettes
were thrown on stage. He caught a box of Newports and took one
out. He then said, "Well, Zeus isn't going to light this thing for
me..." and then a million lighters were thrown on stage.
At another point, Jimmy stated, "I want to be the audience...I
NEVER get to be the audience...Not this time though. I called it
this morning. Like, six in the morning, you guys weren't even here
yet!" Jimmy then jumped into the crowd and started cheering and
jumping up and down. After a little bit of messing around he said,
"...I don't know what you guys are looking at, I'm one of you guys
now." and then started singing the next song while in the crowd.
It was greatness.
During the end of one song, the bassist took off her bass and
jumped into the crowd and started crowd surfing. It was intense.
After their amazing set, they started signing autographs.
Literally right after they finished playing. The drummer and the
bassist left the stage for a bit and Jimmy and the guitarist
started posing for pictures and signing autographs/talking to the
fans. I started to work my way towards him through the weeds that
were people, and then the security guards started asking him to
move away from the stage so they could tear it down. So they moved
to the right of the stage towards a tent while signing autographs
and taking pictures with all their fans. Nothing beats a band that
gives as much as they can back to the fans.
When I eventually got to Jimmy, I was going to have him sign my
ticket. As soon as he noticed my shirt he said, "Woah! I love that
shirt!" The shirt I was wearing is my The Return of The Living
Dead movie cover shirt. So instead, I asked him to sign my shirt
instead. He crossed out Dead with his sharpie and wrote "Urine"
under it. It was epic. After he did that, he said "It's perfect!"
After getting my shirt signed, I worked my way towards the
concession stands. It was DAMN hot and I needed something cold so
I didn't die. Standing within a group of people in 100 degree
weather with no shade = death. I ended up paying eight bucks for a
slush. =(
It wasn't even that good of a slush.
After getting my $lu$h, I headed towards a merch vendor to buy a
Placebo shirt. I missed out on getting a shirt last concert and I
didn't want that to happen again. I ended up getting a Placebo
North America tour shirt and their newest CD which has three live
tracks on it.
After buying my stuff, I worked my ways toward the mainstage.
Julien K had just finished their set after I bought my slush.
Julien K has the guitarist and some other member of Orgy in it.
It's like the new Orgy I guess. They are supposed to be leaning
more towards dance music with this band. Anyways, I got to my seat
just as Placebo was about to go on.
Placebo is greatness.
Their set list was:
Pure Morning
Because I Want You
Meds
Every You Every Me - while singing the "Best lay I ever had" line,
he pointed to Stefan. That amused me.
Nancy Boy
Special K - which they dedicated to Julien K =p
Taste In Men
Bitter End

As I stated above, it was greatness.

After their set, they were going to do a signing. So after they
finished, I rushed over to the Virgin tent and go in the mass of
people that had accumulated so far.
Got some Placebo stickers and a poster. Got them to sign the
poster and the cover of the CD I had just bought.
After getting my stuff signed, I left.
Walked to my car, turned on the AC and blasted it at my face. The
temperature in my car when I started it was 110. That's
ONE-HUNDRED AND TEN DEGREES. After sitting for a while, I left.
Got a little bit out of downtown Dallas and stopped at a gas
station. Bought a liter of water and commenced to pleasing my
soul.
Drove home. Took a nap. Wrote this post.

I love concerts.
I love Aesa.
I love going to concerts with Aesa.
Wish she could have gone to this one with me.
<3<3<3

S.H.F.T.

So I neglect this blog. Oh well. Nothing I can do about.
...
well, besides that...

Lots of random stuff has happened since my last post.

Manny moved back up here, so it should be more interesting again.

I'll be trying my best to go to Evolution 2007 this year with my fighting game friends.

My love visited me for about a month and then we flew back to Buffalo together.
It was great.
That's it.
Great.
I love her.
There are so many things I wish I could do. So many things I want to do. And all of those revolve around her. I can't stop thinking about her. How stupid do I sound saying corny stuff like this? Who cares, It's how I feel. I can't help but smile when I'm around her. I can't help but smile when I think of her. Anytime something interesting happens to me, I want to tell her. Too bad when I talk to her on the phone I usually forget what I wanted to tell her. =p

Last semester of school. It's looking to be tough. I'll attempt to try my best though. And even when I graduate, I still have to get a job. But with that job, good stuff will follow.

I've started watching Beck monday I believe it was. Why? Because it's been on my computer and I've yet to watch...along with tons of other stuff.
So far, it's been great. I've actually been glued to the show. It's 26 episodes long and I'm on episode 20 already. I started watching it and I just couldn't stop. I'm a sucker for good "love" stories, what can I say? Sure, there is more to it than the love story, there is the whole "I'm a band trying to make it" thing, and that's good too.
Well, minor update. I finished beck before I ended up posting this. lawlz?
Good stuff.


"The greatest thing you'll ever learn...Is just to Love, and be Loved in return."

God I miss her.I missed her when I looked away.

EdgeFest Pictures

Edgefest was great. And by Edgefest, I mean Placebo and Muse.
And of course, all pictures in this post are klikz farz mekz bigz0r.!?

So I left the house around 12:45. Drove out to Frisco and stopped for gas because I was very low.
I got to the venue and started looking for parking. Looked for parking.....Looked for parking....
There were two empty lots, but you needed a "platinum" "pass" and a "gold" "pass" to park there AND $15. So I kept driving and found nothing. I actually ended up parking about a mile or so away. It kind of sucked, but I didn't really care because I was pretty damn excited to see Placebo.
After I finally reached the gates, I was really surprised about the lack of security. At the start of the line, there was a table and about four ladies that were checking bags if you brought them. I didn't have one, so I just walked past them. Twenty or so feet past them, were the actual gates and ticket scanning staff. So I walked up, got my ticket scanned and they let me in. That's it. No metal detectors, no police in sight, nothing. After I walked in, I chuckled to myself over the security and then proceeded to push past TONS of people to get to the second stage to see Placebo as they were playing at 2:30 and it was currently about 2:00.
I got to the second stage and there was a band finishing their set on the third stage.
As it turns out, the second and third stage were right next to each other. So while one band played on one stage, the other band had their equipment set up.
So work my up to the second stage and there wasn't too many people yet to wait for placebo. Just a good chunk near the front.
I saw the drum set with Placebo written on it and I got pretty excited.
Around 2:20, I see a tour bus pull up behind the stage. I knew it had to be them. I stand on my tip-toes and try and spot them and then BAM! I see Steph because he is a giant. They then proceed to go in their trailor and wait for their concert time. Steph went out once to check the venue.
Then the background track started playing and the crowd went nuts. It was great.
Placebo stepped out and then proceeded to amaze my face. It was great.









After the set, I stuck around for a bit and then went to find a drink because I was dying of thirst. The prices were outrageous and I refused to play 3.75 for a soda. =/
Found a smoothie shop that was pretty packed. I waited in line for about 15 minutes and finally got my $8 strawberry-banana smoothie. It was pretty damn good and the size of the smoothie was pretty damn big too. $8 was a little much, but the best deal on any refreshment that I could find.
So I took my smoothie and started walking around a bit. Apparently, DeVry had a booth out there with Gamestop. I found that to be pretty random. One of my co-workers was out there so I talked to him for a bit. I also snagged a chapstick and a CD cleaner thing.
Then I walked around some more and found a place to sit in the shade.
Right next to where I was sitting, there was a booth selling merchandise. Bought a Placebo shirt for my love and I would have bought myself one but they were out of sizes. All they had left of the male counterpart was small, medium, and XXL. =(
Sat around some more and then Placebo started a signing session.
I had no idea they were going to do that but next to the merchandise booth, about 10 feet away, there was a Virgin Records booth were some bands were going to do signings.
It was awesome.
I got in line, pretty damn near the front and snapped a couple of pictures of the band. Which turned out to be funny because apparently, we were not allowed to take pictures of the band. =D
I got my ticket signed by the band and was pretty damn speechless while getting my signatures. =X
Either way, it was crazy awesome. All I really said was I had waited a damn long time to see them in concert and Brian said, "Well then I hope you enjoyed it." Too which I replied, "Every minute of it!" Which made him chuckle.
So I took my signed ticket and then walked around a bit more.










Passed the time for about one and a half hours and then headed towards the main stage for Muse.

Muse was crazy good. That's all I have to say. Crazy good.
They opened the set with Stockholm Syndrome and closed it with Nights of Cydonia.
Click Here to See Muse At EdgeFest!!!
It's a youtube account of somebody that went to the concert and got some GREAT footage.
Be amazed.







After Muse, I left. Took the HUGE walk back to my car.
Didn't bother me at all though, I was still pretty excited about the whole thing.
Drove home and stopped at a gas station to buy a drink on the way home.

It was a pretty awesome day.
