scary movie 4 wasn't THAT great... funny, but wasn't THAT great. it's weird, cause all the commercials hyped up the whole dr. phil and shaq thing, and they end up using all those jokes in the 1st 10 min or so. the movie's overall very funny, but it seemed to lose its edge from when the series 1st started, and ykno, the wayan brothers were involved(the movies done by them were rated R, not pg-13).
then again, you go to this type of movie not to watch for substance, but just to laugh.
we had a choice between watching scary movie 4 and american dreams for tonight. i think we all wanted to watch american dreams more, but we have to be by church by SIX AM(yes, that's right) for tomorrow for picnic day. unreal. and this type of movie is usually very short.
anyways, i bet a lotta 24 freaks want to watch The Sentinel.
and i bet flight 93's going to be very good.
but i'm not a movies guy, so chances are i'm either going to watch it on dvd, or do the opposite, but more common thing, which is end up forgetting it altogether.

for those of you who want to dl from youtube
if pistons get anything other than a championship after this year, i think they'll consider this season a failure. and why not. besides having home court all postseason, their flawless starting 5 has been healthy all year, their bench is better than last year, miami 2k6 seems like a watered down version compared to last year, spurs' timmah has not been as quick as last year, and mavs if they do make it will be so tired from facing the spurs.
they just have to not beat themselves up getting there or underestimate the darkhorses in the east.
ykno, the year that the pistons won the championship, they completely changed how most bball organizations viewed trying to build a team, for the better. i think if they win this year, they'll completely change how some organizations try to approach the regular season. b/c while everybody was taking it easy, pistons came out hot right from the get go, and piled up a TON of easy wins. if it comes down to game 7 vs spurs and the pistons DO win thanks to their raucous home crowd, i think it may change a couple of things again. ppl may actually try to play hard before the all-star break.

i now have the official "uc davis cowtipping team" t-shirt. got it on sale.
cause you know how i like playing sports, rofl.
fyi, if you did not know, if you actually DO tip a cow over @ucd, you get expelled. no joke. so much about all those high school jokes of smelling manure and tipping cows over at ucd.
and we have fisculated cows @ davis; in the name of science, we have cows which have holes going from the outside into the stomach. no it does not hurt them, and yes they still live. one of the things i would like to do b4 i graduate is stick my hand into a fisculated cow; they allow you to; i've just never found out who to get in contact at the university to do it.
Cow with hole-ie in it

struggling over myself over how much man has control over himself vs how much God exerts his will over the world is one of the biggest things that has racked, RACKED my mind as of late. this is really deep if you think about it. i know the Bible states about how there's NO ONE righteous, none have sought after God, and how God predestined us. but then, why would God tell us to work hard? by working hard, does God predestinate us to receive good things? how bout the mindset to work hard; was that predestinated by God, or originated by our own minds(if you think that just because we thought about working hard, means we chose our own destiny, you're ruling out the possibility of God putting that thought there in the 1st place)? then of course, we have the thing that God will always look after his children regardless of how much they slip up. so if that's predestinated, why work? maybe i'll fall, maybe i'll succeed, but either way God will bring me to what he wants me to do. if God wanted me to become a preacher, would it matter whether I got a 4.0 in genetics courses or not? even if he wanted me to be a geneticist, would it matter again? with God there's always a way. sooo...
not saying you shouldn't work, but this is one of those really tough to answer questions. and i can't say that God doesn't predestinate my life, so i shouldn't work, because that would be contradicting what the Bible said. but yet, we know that not everything in life is going to be given to you on a silver platter, so again, i ask, what's what?
this is one of those questions where i truly don't believe anything i hear from anyone could really satisfy my longing for an answer to this question. i WOULD like God to tell me myself, but i bet if he really tried to tell me the whole specifics and detail, my head might explode from trying to comprehend what he just told me.

strange as this sounds, i STILL don't know how to study well.
yes, i know, i had 3+ years to perfect this art, but i still believe in what i'm saying.
b/c i was getting used to college 1st year and had a loose load(3 classes, took a lotta non-science-related classes), so i got good grades not necessarily b/c i studied well. 2nd year i pretty much blew it off, so nothing gained there. tried the whole tapes thing 3rd year, which was kinda good, but took a LOTTA time, and 4th year i'm trying to actually use the practice problems and tests online, but i still haven't mastered knowing how far ahead a test is and when i should stop slacking around. i've tried other things, but they're kinda minor. and i can simply NOT study at home on my cpu in my room. or with the cpu running in my room. period. it's like a curse, an inevitable curse which i can't avoid.
it's probably one of the most frustrating things i've gone through; never "having enough time" to study.

the bible research books i ordered SOOO long time ago should be at my apt in any day now. looking forward to using my weekends a bit more wisely.

tmnt:tf for the snes is actually a very good fighting game, competetive-wise. a lot like super turbo. raph is easily the best turtle, top 3 in the game. probably my favorite character in the game due to his very effective rushdown and rediculous ability to keep-away, despite the fact that leo's more or less my favorite ninja turtle(he's probably one of the worst characters in this game).
-spam his jamboree projectile; it's rediculously fast in recovery. decent startup too. that stuff will cover so much of the screen it will make him look like o.sagat. abuse it if you corner-trap the opponent. if you're doing this out of charging down/back for the chest buster, tap forward before you do it, or you'll do power drill instead. and if longrange try to keep them coming and mix up the speeds; remember that if they jump...
-use crouching heavy punch as an anti-air; it beats a whole lotta crap from jumpers, or should at least trade.
-backflip's good; it can get him outta lotsa traps.
-standing light kick and standing heavy punch are both very good pokes, as is crouching light kick and crouching light punch; you mainly want to use c.lk up-close, s.hp for midrange beating and c.lp as a counter-poke and s.lk for about the same reasons as c.lp. jumping heavy kick is your best crossup.
-chest buster's rediculously good as long as you don't get it blocked up-close; opponent can usually get a free combo or throw you. c.lk x4, cancel into light kick-chest buster should leave you safe, and allow you to continue pressure. it can be used to get closer through projectiles, or you can try to bait the opponent by whiffing it so you land just short of the opponent. fyi, optional cross-up heavy kick into c.lk x4, cancel into heavy kick-chest buster is your main combo. that combo leaves your opponent almost dizzy.
-and of course, he can do ol skool m.bison cheese with his long range-blocked power drill into throw. but i never use that exclusively, mainly not b/c it's ineffective, but rather boring; besides, all his other tools are way too good enough.
-his super's not that great, but since he builds up meter so fast, you will end up using it quite a bit; it's not bad, but usually you'll only be able to use it for block damage. do it after you knock the opponent down.
i wish i had kept a hard copy of the cached page of the forum detailing how to play this game; now i only have the 1st page of the forum(cached) which broke the game down way deep. so i basically only know how to play the top tiers hah. which are btw, raph, chrome dome(this guy's dhalsim and gief), and arm(the shark)(bs flash kick anti-air). aska and shredder and upper-mid i believe though. supers couldn't be combo'd into, but i believe mike's super was unblockable; that automatically gave him the best super; aska's is also up there. war had the best pokes, but still is the worst character in the game. that leaves the two other turtles hovering around "mid," with don ahead of leo. i forget who, but i remember don being able to beat one character pretty badly. maybe aska. and ratking and kurai should be banned from any competitive tournament. you could do cps1 chains in this game, but only 1 character could actually combo them together.
