Superchick - Get Up

ign.com sucks... just like any other gaming place... period... check this out, and don't tell me this only applies to die-hard virtua fighter ppl...

http://virtuafighter.com/versuscity/showflat.php?Board=media&Number=73705

hecka pisses me off... so if you're not sounding like crap, you have to take other ppl's work w/o credit to make it look like you're good? bull!

uh, nm... heh heh... :) they just didn't make it very clear that they credited Srider...

series is 1-1... it was still a close game though; if stephen jackson had drained that clutch 3... although what probably cost the spurs the game was duncan's poor free throw shooting...

i see mutumbo still has life in him! so why the hell byron scott did you not decide to let him play earlier in the season?

damnit... stupid construction workers outside with their machinery... hecka pissing me off... i can't get any work done... i'm almost tempted to go to the MU to buy some earplugs...

head... so... friggin... HUUUUUURTS!

this is what i get for staying up late as hell... i'm going to sleep early today... no excuses... no wasting of time... whadda waste of a day; no studying done... me and my lazy ass...

weird new info i got while browsing through the nba.com bios of the various players:
-kobe was named by his parents by some steak(kobe's the name of the steak)... wow, such love... calling your son "steak"
-a lot of the nba ballers like italian food; tmac likes spaghetti and meatballs, ai likes lasagna
-paul pierce likes tennis next to bball, and is single; imagine that... heh... tennis is a byron sport, but it's all good; i mean, i like tennis myself
-tmac is the cousin of vince carter
-i'm surprised a lotta ballers actually majored in something in college(i'm talking about the non-tim duncan-esque guys, like the real olang ppl; like paul pierce majored in crime; tmac took a couple of college classes even though he never went to college(and actually did consider applying to college))
-duncan was a top US olympic-potential swimmer for the 400 freestyle(that's 8 laps for you non-swimmers), until hurricane hugo destroyed his training swimming pool; heh; also, duncan is a video game freak, and has a large knife collection

haha... southwest commercial where burger joint guys are working on ice is hecka funny

after watching game 1, some comments of mine:
-first and foremost, dikembe mutumbo looks hecka funny with his bandaid on his upper lip. it makes him look like he cut him shaving. and since byron scott has lately been not wanting mutumbo to get in along the action, i made a crack remark to jon how after seeing him cut from shaving, byron scott put him on the injured list :) imagine that...
-spurs won; i'm happy; series is 1-0
-on the nets' part, i'd have to say jason kidd and kenyon martin weren't doing their work today; well, martin was doing a decent job, but it wasn't enough and he fouled out; kidd never came on fire though; i'd though he'd abuse parker, but it was the other way around; don't worry; nets will at least win two i believe
-maybe the officiating during the game was whacked; there were a couple bad calls in favor of the spurs; would this have changed the entire output of the game? dunno
-parker had an excellant night; good shooting; one point he drives in, spin move to right and lays in
-duncan; DUDE! guy was a threat, period... he blocked kenyon martin... twice+! crazy... 30+ pts, 20 rebounds, 7 blocks... he was pulling "cwebbs" all over the place with good perimeter shooting over 2 ppl... this guy IS the MVP... good job man!
-"hey kobe and shaq; need tickets?" "jack nicholson watching the finals at home: priceless" these spurs signs cracked me up during the game

hey bob, if you like the sound of downhere - better than life, try this download from mp3.com: back from nowhere - grow; the vocalist reminds me of the lead vocalists from downhere, and this song sounds very similar to better than life, only somewhat heavier... you also get a nice concert string backup... so consider listening to it bob; and don't worry; it's FREE ON MP3.COM, thus it's LEGAL :)

jerm: stupid refs hehe
jerm: did u see mutombo's first fou,l?
me: no
jerm: spedy claxton ran right into his arm head first and fell
me: oh
jerm: they called foul on mutombo it was hilarious
me: !!!
jerm: cuz mutombo was just standing there
me: i didn't see most of the 1st half
jerm: and then bam
jerm: tooottooot foul!
me: haha

me: haha... jon's not waking up to his alarm clock :-)
joe: kick him then
me: ewww... touch that flab?
me: he's 80% naked
joe: cross
joe: then touch the 20% that's not
me: haha
joe: unless it's round the crotch
me: that's the boxer part
me: :-)
joe: then that'll just be gross
joe: haha

me: ykno, if you really wanted to try that security idea, why not go all the way?
me: why don't we just have everybody be naked all the time?
joe: that might be alil too much
me: oh yea i forgot... IT'S SICK!
joe: seeing nasty bodies all the time
me: "good evening ladies and gentlemen... this is your captain speaking... i'm currently commando in the cockpit, as FAA regulations require me to strip and fly naked in order to prevent terrorist activities..." :-D
joe: of coure the captain dun need to!!!
joe: pssh...what r u thinking?!?!?
joe: :-P
me: haha
joe: haha
me: but see that's discrimination
joe: that's saftey
joe: captains n hide anything they want
joe: scares off potential jackers
joe: haha
me: what if the captain's a redneck, and all the passengers are ghetto black ppl?
me: but if the captain's naked, he'll scare off potential jackers too :-)
me: with his biiiigg, flabbbbby, **#@()*@)*#)(*
joe: haha
joe: yes...you're rite
me: of course i am; aggie education :-)
me: the way of the hick

"it's 2 o clock your time, midnight mine, and i could die to have you here" -Ace Troubleshooter

(think of it this way; a thousand years for God are like a couple minutes, and what you THINK should occur doesn't have to; it's God's own timing; also, though we're so far away, i could sacrifice it all to see you again)

nite/good morning everyone...

nba final predictions: spurs > nets in 6; if nets > spurs(which is much less likely to happen), that's in 7, and one of the wins that the nets get over the spurs will be like the typical spurs screw up; they're up 20 in the 1st half, blow it all in the 2nd half

biggest chain in puzzle fighter: 4(damnit, i can't hit that number consistently, although this one i did KO'd the opponent)
things to keep in mind the next time i play this awesome puzzle game:
-KEEP MY BIG GEMS OPEN SO THAT I CAN DROP A CRASH GEM ON THEM AT ANY TIME, INSTEAD OF BURYING THEM
-LEARN TO CHAIN BETTER INTO THE 4+ RANGES INSTEAD OF THE 2-3 HITTERS; MAYBE HAVE 2-3 GEM REACTIONS SITTING NEXT TO A LARGE GEM ATTACK, AND BUILD ON THE LARGE GEM ATTACK AS THE "FUSE" OF THE WHOLE THING?
-DON'T PANIC AS MUCH, AND LEARN TO DROP/POSITION FASTER
-LOOK AT OPPONENT'S GEMS MORE TO SEE IF THEY'RE GONNA ATTACK
-AND MOST IMPORTANTLY AS KEN; DO NOT ATTACK AS OFTEN

spirit west coast looks really intriguing this year to me... now that i've become a lot more aware of the christian music scene and realize that there ARE bands who aren't just contemporary worship, but punk rock, even freestylers(i'm looking at the list though; still no abundance of modern rock or 12 stones, but it's all good)... here's the list of ones i like OFF of the official list at the website

relient k, paul coleman trio, david crowder band, jeremy camp, chris tomlin, lincoln brewster, superchic, kj-52(! too good!), sanctus real(!), ace troubleshooter(2:00 your time is a great song)... however, relient k+sanctus real+kj-52?!? that's already too good by that!

thank God for AirOne... no really... thank God...

yesterday, i stuffed my face with too much mint chocolate chip ice cream @dinner... it was part of the cafeteria exclusive food that day...

sf2 guile is too good... c.jabx3, s.jabx3 dizzies(s.jab has WAAAAY too much range)... then just do j.fierce,s.fierce->sonic boom,s.fierce(redizzies), do that combo again, you won... if they block your jabs, throw them with strong, then hold forward and keep tapping jab to get your free sonic boom, follow it in again... or after the jabs, go for the magic throw into handcuff, magic throw again... how do they even THINK dhalsim is top tier up there with sf2 guile?

ssf2t akuma is just cheap... air fireball just SHUTS EVERYTHING OUT... it's all about geometry f00...

electric guitar, vocalist, freestyler, editing software...

If a small thing has the power to make you angry, does that not indicate something about your size?
- Sydney J. Harris

hmm... makes me wonder... that IS kinda true... i mean, i tend to get pissed off at very small things... hmm... adds that one to my spritual goals to do over the summer... AND KEEP...

ah yea, i remember these:

AFI- Totalimmortal(i could never figure out the name of this song, only that i heard it a lot during the good ol 98.5 KOME days; it's only watching a CVS2 guile combo exhibition video that i heard the song again; it's a lotta screaming, but the intro's nice)
Lit- Over My Head(right off of the Titan AE soundtrack; one of the more different american anime films; one which actually isn't a stupid disney song-and-dance; it was good; had no idea Drew Barrymore's voice could pass off as a azn tough-girl; psylocke anyone?)

nothing beats the REAL ol skool though... joe satriani KILLS in skill... van halen, eric clapton, jimi hendrix... all these are also wideknown... and much better in talent than anything else you hear today... the closest thing i can think of today has to be creed and 12 stones, but that's about it, more or less.

crunch time for all skoolers, more or less(except for those UCB ppl... damn mandy)... gluck everyone... study hard... forget better luck tomorrow, your actions NOW determine tomorrow... and forget your past... you can't change it now...

some visual learner i am... i can't create drum loops to use for my works of music... basically, i can see what the drummer is doing in my mind, but i can't see the notes appearing on sheet music, which is what the drum loop software more or less uses to get down the sounds... but i'll figure it out... i just was never good with sheet music and timing, esp when i was learning the violin... THAT was what was my main weakness playing the violin... guitar? haha... who NEEDS sheet music? (ok, ok, the better ppl)

my fave quote yesterday on comedy central regarding whether black ppl should fly now, cause there's the terrorist scares and stuff, by a black female comedian:
"you believe in jesus? THEN GET YO ASS ON THAT PLANE!"

sometimes, the only reason i'm dark is cause i feel like i'm gonna explode with anger... meaningless, pissed-off anger... this has a lot to do with my impatience at times... i just don't show it... you only see that i don't smile often, and either have a feelingless face, or a furrowed one...

i'm going to bed before the feeling goes away...

laura: see.. define right away
laura: hahah
me: heh
laura: right back means many diferent things
