Nintendo WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Well I am officially freaking out over here about the Nintendo Wii.  I played my friends today and I have to say it is absolutely fucking awsome.  Yes FUCKING awsome.  I played Wii sports and Red Steel.  I can say that I had more fun playing those than I have with any other game ever.  I mean it was just so great and flawless and seamless.  It just works and I love it.  I cant wait to get one either.  Really i enjoyed playing the Wii a whole lot and highly recommend it.

Deja Vu

Critics are bashing this movie with no abandon.  They keep saying that they talk about a bunch of gibberish… which is in effect gibberish.  they talk about Theoretical physics and string theory.  They talk about scientific facts and theories that are very intresting.  They talk about Dimensional travel, not time travel.  Anyone who bashes this movie… I have less respect for you.  This movie is really good and really awsome.  My brother and I had a huge theorteical physics talk afterwards.  We were being really nerdy and it was really fun.  Haha go see this movie, it is really good but requires some knowledge.  If you wish to gain some knowledge about dimensional theories visit this web site here.  If you really get intrested all i can say is the wikipedia and the internet are you best firends for learning new things.  Go have fun and go see the movie Deja Vu.  Oh yes and the dance I am going to… my girlfriend got a dark red dress… i bet it is really cool.  My grandmother bought me a suit and it is really nice… anyways Deja Vu!!!!! go see it!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy thanksgiving all… my day was pretty sweet.  I saw The new 007, Casino Royale.  I think that some people are going to dislike this film.  I also think though that this movie is really really good.  After watching it i feel as if though i understand Bond better.  It, in my opinion, is an extremely good film everybody needs to see.  It explains how Bond became a double 0, but most of all it explains how he becomes the cold heartless killer we have all come to love.  Go see this movie, even if you havent seen any other Bond movies.  This movie has a really good story regardless of whether or not you are familiar with the series.  As for the updated blog that I have written about.  I don’t expect to have it finished till next year sometime.  I have to get some web design jobs done, I need to get a suit for a dance im going to with my lovely girlfriend, and I need to get her some stuff for christmas… basically I am going to be busy and I am not going to have a lot of time becuase I have school on top of all of that.  Anyways go see Casino Royale.

Blue man group

Well here I am in Chicago for the week visiting family over thanksgiving break.  We went and saw the Blue Man Group today.  I would have to say… you havent truly enjoyed life until you have seen them perform.  They do a great job at including the audience and the whole thing is just awsome/funny/beautiful at the same time.  I love how they focus on making art real, trying to release art from being restricted on a 2D surface.  I would have to express that they do this, and extremely well.  Anyways, the temperature over here wasn’t that bad today… whopping high 60 degrees.  Since I come from California though, that is pretty damn cold.  Anyways I love it over here, everything feels old and laid back.  More updates soon, hopefully I will be finishing up an actual blog layout.  I probably get my own domain and move my blog to whatever hosting solution i can find affordable.  When all that goes down I’ll send the links and all that.  Until then, I am off to go freeze.

Whitecave operation: Ninja Pirate

haha ok so Whalen had to go do this thing for an English class or something. It was at Glendale High in the cafeteria. Supposedly only kids from the classes were allowed to come back Whalen brought me anyways XD. Anyways so ya, we played it cool at first, i made sure not to attract any unecassary attention to myself, without seeming conspicuous. At one point we could see the teachers talking about me wondering who i was… they never said anything to me though. So we lined up at the doors, guys on one side girls on the other. Guys hold their arm out the girl lays hers on top of his haha. Too bad im bad with names but ya, i think her name was tracy, dont qoute me on that. We exchanged a few words and made some small talk. She wants to be a history teacher which i think totally rocks. So ya Whalen and I got seperated, so i was with Isaam and Tracy and some other people at my own table. There was food, which i hated becuase I am a picky eater. I juggled for a bit. Then we did a renaisance dance which basically just ended up being a huge clusterfuck as I like to call it. Anyways, it was a pretty good time. Whalen was pissed as fuck, not really suprising this kind of thing really isnt his bag of chips. Technically tonight I was the party crasher, so i was all excited. Teachers never said anything to me, and ya it was fun. Once again I leave the legacy of Nate behind for people to remember forever! MUAHAHHAHA. No really it was weird, basically everyone knew I was from Daily… but no one cared. Anyways it was great to finally be around some kids that dont think they are gangsters or are actually gang bangers. It was fun and real. One thing I wish though is that Emily could have come along, I am sure she would have had a blast.

Ms. Dewey

Ok so i was checking out my blog stats and the such when i saw a refferer url “msdewey.com” So naturally i was all curious. Went to check it out… turns out it is a pretty cool search engine, it is actually quite funny. “Ms. Dewey” stands there and thinks about w/e you search for and then says osmething witty and stuff. HAHA it is quite fun actually, you can check it out here

*EDIT* i was bored and made 2 ytmnd’s on her

one where she is angry here 

and one where she talks backwards here 

Emergence Day

Gears of war. I received it on thursday but today is emergence day. They are supposedly giving away prizes and the such, but the scoreboards are so littered with cheaters and the such i didnt even try. The game is absolutely great. The graphics are totally bitchin. The gameplay isnt so innovative, nothing we havent seen before. But it is smooth and fun and works. Nothing is more satisfing than laying an opponent on the ground with the shotgun and stomping their head into the ground. Or maybe you prefer using the chain bayonet to cut someone in half, blood and gore going everywhere including your HUD. Or maybe you are just a straight forward kind of guy so you blow a person apart at close range with teh shotgun. OR maybe you snipe their head off causing a nice little spray effect. OR maybe youd like to run up real quick and stick a nade on them and run for dear life. THIS GAME is soooo addicting and fun. The single player alone has tons of replay value to find COG tags and to get all the acheivments. Once you get slightly bored with that, guess what just go online and have tons of fun blowing people up. The maps are fun, the guns are awsome, and the gameplay is great. I am having more fun with this game than i had with Halo 2, and that is saying a lot. Hopefully before christmas they will release some new maps… If you own a 360 you owe it to yourself to go buy this game, of you dont own a 360 go buy one right now cuz you are missing out on a GREAT gaming experience.

A Whitecave operation failure

Well today Phil, Whalen, and I were driving up to newcomes ranch in the crest. We were trying fast, pushing the cars a little bit. Well Whalen went around this one turn it went left. Phil and I are about 300 feet back. We come around the corner and see a big dust cloud and we were like w/e and then we went around the turn and there was a huge dust cloud… Whalen totaled his car. It was weird though because the road turns to the left and from the look of things his rear right tire hit some gravel. Instead of his car sliding into the mountain on the right though the car shot out across the oncoming lane and slammed into the mountain on that side. He was probably doing about 50-55 mph. He wasn’t hurt which is good but his car definately wont run again. We had 4 forest fire trucks there, a highway patrol truck, a sheriff truck, and a sheriff helicopter there. Man was i scared he got hurt but he wasn’t which is good, really good. Anyways now its all said and done, and everything is ok. Whalen’s life is basically crap now. He just got about $2000 worth of work done on his car and now its broken. Whalen wasn’t worried about the car though, or himself. He was just pissed that now his parents are going to tear him a new asshole and make his life shit. It was a big wake up call for me, I’m not going to stop doing stupid teenage stuff but i might tone it down a bit. I think of how lucky i was that Whalen told me to ride with Phil and not him. I could be hurt right now if he had let me ride with him. That is the only reason it is a wake up call, I didn’t really care at all about my well being until I had Emily in my life. Before she became my girlfriend I was being reckless on purpose because i hated everything but I don’t believe in suicide so ya. I called her up, I feel better now. She is the only reason I was scared. It is weird though cuz it was my life was in danger not hers, but I don’t know I guess I just got scared that I could so easily lose my life or that she could lose hers. I don’t want to have to go through all that. My family probably wonders why I don’t care about them in the same way, but I am not going to dignify that with an answer, if they just payed attention the truth would be obvious. You can see video of the damage here and you can see a picture of what happened here

Reading is not my anti-drug

I am addicted to reading… since school has started i have read 17 books.  In less than one month I have read 14 books, by the end of next week I shall have finished 3 more.  No they aren’t just short crappy books you noob!  Ive read a ton of forgotten realms books, lighting by some dood i dont remember his name, World War Z same guy who wrote the zombie survival guide, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and Maus I and II.  I cannot believe how much I am reading but i cant seem to stop.  I am about to start reading some Anne Rice… after this i need to read 1984 by Orwell.  Then I have to absorb the Dune series like a sponge, then from their I will probably read Wicked.  My book list is like freaking long, I wonder what the world record is for most pages read in a day or how many books in a year… maybe i could break something.  I am supposed to write the books I am reading down for some GUSD thing but i keep forgetting.  All my teachers want me to join breakfast club.  I think that is dumb though cuz not only will I be asleep as they do stuff but they are going to force me to read some stupid book.  So instead I shall continue my book absorbing ways, for no other reason than there is nothing else to do… Gears of War comes to the Xbox 360 in 6 days… im not that excited but ya when i get it, thats all im gonna spend my time doing.  Until then… im feeling quite bored.

non-essay

Well I have been assigned, in my senior english class, to write a descriptive essay. Feeling horrible with a sinus headache and the such, i almost didnt write it. I figured though, why slack off… its harder not to write it HAHA. Anyways enjoy this… clever essay.

 

I Do Not Know

 

A descriptive essay of beautiful language, scrawled across a crisp white paper. An assignment I would most like not to expend energy on. No vivid thoughts or ideas come to my mind. My bulging brain is most unruly blank. So here I sit, most uncomfortably. Pondering what I should write my essay about. The sinus headache making my head throb, my mind refuses to comply. In a most clever fashion I decide to write about what is on my mind or more clearly what is not.

Nothing. Almost absolute blankness like a snowy white out storm. Why should I write this essay, it means nothing to me. Why should I, Nate, sit and spend time tapping away at my keyboard, attempting to construct a descriptive essay? The rules of a descriptive essay are binding. The rules restricting me in the same fashion as clipping a birds most delicate wings. My most amazing skill of procrastination quickly seizes my mind. Off I run to my television. Plopping down onto the smooth worn leather couch, I turn the television on, along with my sleek white video game console. Within minutes the sounds of screeching tires and the deep roar of an engine reverberate off of my shabby white walls.

I press the small rubber start button, causing the game to pause suddenly. I turn on some music, fast paced with deep beats, my morale boosts like a rocket into space. Rapidly my fingers navigate the controller, small clicking noises accompanying the crash and grinding of cars colliding. My focus goes intently to the television; the sounds of the dinner cooking on the stove slowly fade away. I feel “in the zone” every move and action feeling absolutely perfect, as if being perfectly attuned with the rest of the universe. My pride swells, my moves become more dangerous. I fall out of attunement with the universe, my virtual car making a fatal move.

I quickly and with force shut down the game console and the television. My insides slowly seething, berating myself for being too cocky. I sit down into the uncomfortable chair in front of my computer. I stare at the vibrant screen, my mind blank, and my face throbbing from my headache. Suddenly I feel overwhelmed by rationalization. Why am I slacking off, refusing to write an essay? I slowly move the cheap mouse over the rough mouse pad, I click once and Word appears on my screen. I quickly dismiss the annoying paperclip and stare at my screen blankly. No interesting topics of adventure or wonder come to mind. What should I write about?

In the end, instead of wording a most “lame” excuse of why I did not diligently type my essay… I used what I couldn’t think of as the topic of this most verbose essay. If no ideas of grandeur could enter my mind then where did the words come from? How in a state of feeling overwhelmed and sick did I come to write such an essay? Simply by manipulating my feelings and non-thought against myself, I quickly and effectively completed my assignment. I turned absolutely nothing, into something…
