YouTube - Air (SMB1 Hack) NES in 09:12
wow...
(read the description)
i've got to find this hacked version of the game and find out how to do those glitches...

i've got to find this hacked version of the game and find out how to do those glitches...
according to the book i am reading, 1st john 5:7,8 is the STRONGEST argument for the trinity in the king james bible. it states clearly that there are 3 that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. john has also stated in the gospel that he wrote, that the word became flesh.
it has been changed in ALL other bible versions.
(Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe the trinity, or the Godhead exists, and don't believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God; without this verse, it is much more difficult to convince them that the trinity does exist)
there haven't been many greek manuscripts which contain 1st john 5:7,
HOWEVER, the evidence for it is still very strong: there have been numerous manuscripts in other languages which contain it, and many church fathers back then quoted it; it was just not found in a lot of manuscipts; what gives?
two possible reasons:
1)scribal error: the three that bear witness in verse 7 was confused to be that of verse 8, hence the accidental skipping of a line
2)numerous cults believed that God was all-inclusive(or something like that where the entire world make up God)
i'd post more, but library's going to close; this should give you something to chew on for a bit.

YouTube - Batman snickers ad
if you ever, EVER, find the snickers commercial where then nba player gheorghe muresan is in it trying to repeatedly make a half-court shot facing away saying "and score one for the kids", then breaks down sobbing at the end, please give it to me... i can't find it at all.

sometimes, i seriously wonder why i don't like jason kidd and the new jersey nets
i mean, almost every basketball fan i know likes jason kidd...
and i ask myself, why don't you?
casual fans like him because he seems to find people out of nowhere...
devoted fans like him because he's not only a very unselfish player, as a passer rather than a scorer, but he's also a very good defender; this past season he was on the 1st all-nba defensive team.
first of all, i don't HATE kidd... i merely have a LOT more teams i like compared to the nets. but lemme give some possible reasons why i don't like the nets more...
-nets have never really been a team with bigs that i really liked. used to like kenyon martin, but then he left. i tend to like bigs who are either good all-around, or monsters on the defensive end.
-in some strange way, the more i think about it, i like players who can score more than those who can pass. yea, i was surprised when i initially thought about it, but the more i think about it, i think it rings true. it's not that i don't like players being unselfish; no, otherwise, i'd be a laker fan by now. i like players who can pass AND create shots by themselves. i think i can sum it up this way:
when it comes to offensively-efficient players with the ball, i like:
the scorer who can pass rather than the passer who can score; the 1st would be like billups, the 2nd would be like kidd.
of course, a good passer needs to have court vision, but i just feel in more ways than not, that when you are a scorer more than a passer, the passing oppurtunities tend to create themselves. if you have a reputation for being virtually unguardable 1 on 1 in the waning seconds of the 4th quarter, the help defenders know they can't simply just stick out an arm in order to throw you off; they must actually come over and commit. that means someone is going to be WIDE open.
(it's also a more inspiring story when you hear of a scorer becoming more and more selfless trying to find others rather than a passer trying to become more of a clutch player)
put it this way; hypothetically, suppose you are a power forward defending against a pick-n-roll situation at the end of the game; the power forward on the other team is robert horry; classic example of a role player who can't create his own shots, but leave him wide open at the end of games, and you just buried yourself.
his teammate is either jason kidd or chauncey billups, and has the ball. your point guard teammate is a decent defender, not a lockdown defender, not like nash. all of your other teammates are guarding well, not intending to double.
i personally would rather face the kidd/horry combo than billups/horry. just because i would have a little more faith in letting my teammate guard kidd one-on-one. if i do need to double, i wouldn't necessarily need to run all the way over with my hands up, just stick my hand in there.

so, does this now make chicago a powerhouse in the east again?
heh, i wish the pistons' starting 5 stayed together(i like the defensive combo of ben and tayshaun way too much), but i DID like the new-look bulls even before wallace came over. i like noccioni and tyson a lot.
so, the team that pretty much led the league in fg % now just got that much sicker.
but in some ways, you were expecting this; if they did not fire flip(drastic measure but hey), there would be a pretty good chance they were going to keep trying to become better offensively. they're still good defensively, but this is a MAJOR LOSS, especially considering if they continue to keep an offensive-minded coach.

so the nba finals were over 2 weeks ago. i will just make this thought on the nba short, b/c it's over for this season, and i have no reason to go too indepth on the subject, i will just make 5 statements about the nba that if you wish, i can elaborate on the next journal entry.
1)heat won this year not b/c of their offseason aquisitions(jason williams > damon jones, but james posey = eddie jones, and walker didn't do crap), but because riley was the head coach and dwyane wade and shaq were healthy; most importantly for the players' part, dwyane wade was better and healthier.
2)i would actually like the heat if they did not have... walker(yes, that's right, not shaq, walker; you see, what comes out of shaq's mouth can be obnoxious sometimes, but at least he has the skills to back it up; walker can't do anything without the ball, but everytime he gets an and1, he feels obligated to do that ugly waggle butt dance that he does)
3)funny how when the spurs and pistons win the championship, espn.com's all like "they have all the pieces to repeat next season" but when the heat win, they are a bit more skeptical, b/c of age; well, at least it shows espn guys aren't drones.
4)i actually like dwade out of the 3 "phenoms", ykno, lebron, melo... i like his offense better and his defense seems to be better than either of the two. and he banks :D
5)i was kinda hoping this year that the pistons would meet the spurs again in the finals, seeing how hungry for revenge the pistons seemed during this season. unfortunately, it couldn't happen, but i will say that an occasional change of scenery during the nba finals really never hurt anybody.
---
in reflection, i actually liked reading a lot; it's just that i never liked reading on other people's terms; ie for a class, before this week is over so the library books i have can be returned w/o being overdue. so i present to you the list of books i have as of right now in my room that i would like to get done with by the end of this summer:
an understandable history of the bible - dr. samuel gipp *done*
new age (bible) versions - g.a. riplinger(i hoped i spelled that name right)
the art of war - sun tzu(translated by john minford)
the case for a creator - lee strobel(given to me by my msm counselor)
i would also like to get "mythic past" from barnes and noble; it's a book debating the validity of the bible; you see, as i'm still trying to increase my collection of books arguing for the validity of the kjv bible, i would also like to look into books that debate the kjv vs other bible versions, but i haven't looked at a book that says the bible is not truth based on EXTERNAL factors; would be interesting to read it just to see what type of arguments the author makes(and whether those arguments have any counter arguments; they always do)
---
lucky enough to find bible software for the niv at fry's; you see, i want to be able to compare the niv up against the kjv at home, it's easier to do if you have search software to use, and i have the kjv for free on my cpu, but the niv is copyrighted, so you actually need to purchase it. still wasn't too expensive; 9.99

i wear SO MUCH stuff when i play basketball now. it used to be just "to look cool" which was why i originally wore the green headband, but now, my body's just like screaming after every day i play if i'm not wearing stuff. i wear wwjd and a rubber bracelet everytime i play, but then, i always wear that, so it's kinda moot.
-white headband(it's a special fiber, so it feels lighter and sucks water away; very, very, good); used to wear it b/c it looked cool, but now i'm getting used to it actually working quite well especially on a hot day, as it keeps the sweat from running down my face, and it can be used to slightly tuck my glasses in so they won't fall out as easily
-starting to wear those things that tuck your glasses in now as well, btw
-fingersleeve(wear it on my left ring; never got sprained, but sometimes when i played it would hurt, so i do this not to get that feeling anymore)
-gels that i wear to cushion my balls-of-my-feet; i get these nasty calluses on my balls of my foot if i don't wear them, and since they slide around all the time, i'm going to get tape now as well
-jumper's knee strap(i dunno if this is a recent occurance, but sometimes my left knee aches after games now)
and that's excluding the fact that during winter and fall, i like using the nike elbow band and nba shooter's sleeve to help me keep warm.

whoa, too much typing; i just wanna say one more thing:
if you like watching cartoons on youtube.com, try searching with these words:
jlu secret origins
very nice; should bring up a 1 hr cartoon about the justice league; i enjoy it greatly, because it shows how the justice league(superman, batman, wonder woman, hawkgirl, green lantern, and the flash) came to be; for some reason, i'm a really big sucker for the very 1st episode, and maybe the last episode of cartoons; shows how things were set up, and how the heroes came to don their responsibilities, as well as how they closed things off.

closure...
and yet, it's not...
b/c i don't have a good feeling about one of my classes...
like i said before, i really hope i don't have to come back this fall...
that being said, even if i didn't have to come back, i still really don't know what the hell i'm going to do...
whatever God's will is, God's will is

burned my last cd today... that's it... all my data on my cpu is now on a ton of cds. funny how it came down to this... i came into this college with nothing on my laptop, and i will leave with nothing on my laptop(as i'm finally going to defragment that slow ass cpu tonight). now, i won't ever have to worry about being sidetracked when using my laptop, b/c all the data will be somewhere else; available for me to use, but not within easy reach.

according to the wiki, dwyane wade is a christian, b/c he's tithed to his church back in illinois. christians are so hard to follow in the nba nowadays; nobody's as outspoken as david robinson and avery johnson. that being said, here i who i THINK is christian:
ben wallace(wears a wwjd bracelet)
chauncey billups(said "God is good" when he received the 2k4 finals mvp)
antonio mcdyess(wears a wwjd bracelet, i think)
jason richardson(prays before every game)
dwyane wade
dwight howard(obvious reasons)
alonzo mourning(points his finger to the sky during games a LOT)
michael redd(gave his dad a CHURCH)
jermaine o neal(sketchy on this one; i've heard he prayed before, but then it's hard to say you're a christian when your track record has you rush-punching a pistons fan)
richard jefferson(parents were missionaries)
antoine jamaison
michael finley
allen iverson(? not too sure; wears wwjd)
help me add to the list; who else? or did i get anybody wrong?
fyi, stuart scott asked avery johnson if he'd ever tell his players that he loved them(coach brown did it in game 6 vs spurs, and the pistons responded with a win)... i loved avery's response, it was along the lines of "no, i don't need to do that, because i tell them every moment off the court that i love them. they know it, and i always allow jerry stackhouse's kids to come and stay over and eat all my food." (sounds very asian christian parent-like, doesn't it?)
---
in retrospect, i look back at college, and i have to admit, i learned stuff... but it was never in class. you see, while i may have picked up random things about modern biology, i believe in the end all that knowledge was superficial, and i probably couldn't recall it in a heartbeat. times flies... regardless of whether you're having fun, or trudging along.
i also learned that the internet and cpu in general is my krytonite in using time wisely... those years in jr high and high school were i was all goody-goody studying? bs... high school never prepared me for dealing with cable and high-speed internet. the good part is that is now over, and should i ever have to go back to college for grad school, i believe i'll have a much better plan of attack in studying better and stuff and not slacking. after all, life is one giant experiment... try stuff out, if it doesn't work, try something else out. just don't lose focus.
i believe the real, life-changing stuff for me though, lay in my junior year; God gave me a second chance near the end of fall quarter, and then it was in my winter quarter, that my eyes came across the humongous eBook i read during junior year that would change my mentality about how i viewed the Bible and my beliefs in christianity forever.
i don't want to go back through my entire journal and pick out stuff in detail that occurred during my college period right now... i'm kinda tired, and intend to take a quick nap before i bring a buncha stuff back to the bay area, then come back early tomorrow for graduation(mom's too afraid to drive herself)... maybe later.
i will say this though... nothing occurs on this earth with it being in some minute way a perfect step in God's eyes of his perfect plan. we may not see the fruits of our labor right now even when it appears all for naught, but i believe somewhere in the distant future when we are spiritually mature enough to take it, that we'll see and understand it.
til then, keep reading the word of God each day. preferably, the KJV.
and test and retest and think about each and every aspect of your life from all angles, so that you'll always arrive at the best conclusion.
i'm out(not my blogging, you silly, i'll keep posting). i'll see you CTCC boyz back after retreat, as i'm not going. when you come back, you'll finally have tayshaun's "asian arms of D" to contend with.
and yet, it's not...

Ben Wallace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"Like other big men in the NBA, namely Shaquille O'Neal and Wilt Chamberlain, Wallace is a poor free throw shooter. In fact, he is the worst free throw shooter in NBA history out of any player with more than 1000 attempts. As of October 2005, his NBA career average is 42.0%. This ineptitude at the free throw line results in his sometimes becoming a target of the so-called 'Hack-a-Shaq' defense (A tactic that has drawn the ire of teammate Rasheed Wallace). The reason for this drawback is that his right wrist has some ligaments that were cut off due to a surgery that was needed because his hand had some carpal tunnel issues. This causes his hand to go 'dead' whenever he dunks, falls to the ground, or when he shoots a free throw, resulting in him being unable to make them on a consistent basis."
we finally know why he can't shoot free throws...

game 4, not THREE, IMO, will be the game that decides the outcome of the nba finals.
i've noticed that it's ALWAYS too early to call a series even if the team w/home advantage gets the 1st two. securing your home court wins is always good, and then it'll put pressure on the opponent, but it's not bulletproof. case in point, detroit and spurs last year. so spurs won the 1st 2 by huge margins. and they won the series. but a LOT of people weren't thinking that way after the outcome of games 3 and 4.
it's probably a given that the heat will win game 3. i BELIEVE it. no way the crowd will allow another loss, and no way will the duo allow it. but if they don't absolutely trash the mavs in that win, and only win by a hair, miami's in trouble.
like i said, you'll need to see how mavs respond in game 4, after losing, to see whether they'll get this.

Incredible...
Nadal is clearly Federer's thorn in the side... this kid's incredible. i think the french open clearly favors fast, scrambling players, the type that nadal is. if you can outrun your opponent, you'll shine on the clay.

US soccer better live up to its expectations this year... they start tomorrow.

note: i have never seen shaq so agile compared to this year... it's been a LOOONG time since i've seen him this fast. i don't think he's a defensive liability at all this season.
another note: like shaq, you can improve your chances of getting a good post-up near the basket, not just by backing down before demanding the ball, but shifting from one side of the court, to the other. trust me. they said something like this on espn.com, and i wholeheartedly agree.

some Justice League Unlimited videos for you to enjoy; i love how DC comics likes mashing all their superheroes that they create together...
JLU - Epilogue
they never got around to putting a "final episode" on Batman Beyond(which i used to watch everytime it showed on channel 20); incidentally, the "final episode" comes during this JLU episode; you finally find out all the kinks about terry's past. very nice.
Once And Future Thing
this one's during the future... so apparently static shock and batman beyond make up part of the future JLU huh? nice... so where's gear?(static's sidekick)
aaaand, not to leave out x-men... this stuff's good...
one man's worth
oh schnap! someone save xavier!
beyond good and evil
cable, apocalypse, the whole sche-bang...
(i always tended to like DC and marvel comics more than japanese anime)
---
but for an extra surprise, these are the japanese introductions to x-men; notice the BIG contrast... much more like japanese animation... ie a buncha robots are coming at the x-men, not magneto... weird...
intro 1
intro 2
good ol american fox x-men intro
