Today's Song - Cake - Tougher Than It Is

I hope I spelled that right. But in any case, I finally did get to see the movie last night Peter. And I give it a 9 out of 10. I enjoyed it a lot but I think that others might see it differently than I. In any case, I liked it and that's all that matters.

Last Tuesday, I bought a game for the Gamecube called Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem and I have been playing it almost non - stop every day. I beat the storyline last Friday (and thus stayed up all night and went to sleep 11:30AM Saturday) and I'm starting again with sort of a new game plus kind of thing. You unfortunately don't start with all your items you had at the end of the first run through of the game. But instead, you get to go through for the other two artifacts (Let's just say that there are three different ways the game can play out). Once you beat the game with all three different versions, you're supposed to get a secret ending of sorts. So that's what I'm doing. It's funny though, the first time through I was just trying to explore and understand what the heck I was supposed to do. This took me a little over 16 hours of play. Well, I'm going through the second time and right now I have a little more than a third of that time and I'm more than half way through the story. So basically, I'm kicking ass. And even better, I found a magic that I hadn't the first time through (which is good since this magic has made going through so much easier).

As I said though, I didn't sleep until 11:30 on Saturday. And I didn't wake up until 2:30, giving me less than an hour before I had to go to work. It was a wasted day and I hated it. And at work wasn't any better. It was going fine until 11PM (when I was supposed to get off) when a tour bus full of people came into order. We hadn't locked the doors yet and thus, I had to stay until 11:30PM to help get all these orders out. This effectively put me in a bad mood. This has been the first time I contemplated the idea of just quitting on the spot. Luckily, my need of money has kept me in a strangle hold into keeping the job until something better comes along.

Yesterday was a whole lot nicer; Peter came over and we had some fun. Both my brother and myself effectively killed him in Halo 2. I'll admit, since he didn't know the maps he was at a disadvantage. But even so, I will not agree that the sniper rifle is a cheese weapon. In any case, I also showed him some of Eternal Darkness and we played some guitar (meaning he got to see my new one I got for my birthday). I've borrowed several chord sheets of Barenaked Ladies songs to learn so that's all good and spiffy.

One last thing before I go, I finally am back in my Hawaiian shirts. They don't work very well underneath sweatshirts and coats in the winter but since today seems to be shaping up as a sunny day, I am able to wear them again. There may be a 50% chance of rain (according to what my father looked up) but that's why I brought a coat just in case. Hey, this was a pretty long entry, huh? Haven't done that in a while but that's ok. I feel kind of I'm cheating when I post little things. In any case, I'll leave you with this week's quote. Later!

EDIT: (minutes later) I put the person who said this week's quote up there. But from now on, if you want to find out who said my quote of the week then check the source of my blog and look in the head section. I'll be putting the name there so that I have room for longer quotes. If you are really itching to know who it is, then ask me. For now though, you'll have to check the sources for past quotes.

the more the thing will bite and scratch.
It's best, I think, to leave its fur
and to listen to its silky purr.

Today's Song - Eminem - Just Lose It

First off, is anyone else scared that an Eminem song is my song of the day? I just happened to hear a weird polka version of this song used in an animation on Albino Blacksheep.com and it's been in my head. Anyways...

Also, what I meant by the levels of happiness is my mood each day. You know that content and happy mean the same thing. But when I say content, I mean it as in I'm doing ok but things aren't all that exciting. Where as happy means I'm in a good mood. Content is sort of neutral.

And finally, the point of this post. Someone on the RvB forums declared today to be "Don't Be A Jerk" Day. He got tired of seeing people flaming others so he declared the day to be as such. Go, be nice to people!

"Now I'm gonna make you dance.
It's your chance.
Yeah boy, shake that ass.
Oops! I mean girl... girl, girl, girl.
Now you know you're my world.
Alright, now lose it...
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah!
Just lose it...
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah!
Go crazy...
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah!
Oh baby!
Aah, aah...
Oh baby, baby, aah, aah!"

Mood - INCREDIBLY HAPPY!!!

Sorry Peter, you won't care for this, but...

THE LIFE OF RILEY RETURNS MARCH 4TH OF THIS YEAR!!! HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY...

Today's Song - one of the random songs on this disc a guy from Sac State gave me

...and I'm none too happy about it either. But whatever.

Yesterday I had an interesting encounter. You see, I have Sundays through Tuesdays off from work, which gives me the ability to eat a home - cooked meal with my family on Tuesdays (Sundays I'm usually gone from the house, Mondays are the same except my parents are the ones who are gone). Well, I totally forgot about eating with the family. So I went and bought some Chinese food from Sac State's food court yesterday. And then I suddenly remembered, MY MOTHER IS GOING TO BE MAKING FOOD FOR ME. I immediately curse to myself and wonder how I'm going to rectify this situation. But the only way to do that was to eat the food my mother made for me. And I gotta say, I was getting pretty stuffed. But I didn't want to make it seem like I had eaten already so I had to eat everything I had taken onto my plate. I was getting pretty full and almost didn't eat the rest of my mashed potatoes (I swear I sound like a little kid right now). I was able to finish it off but man if it wasn't the most food I've had in a while. Never again... just tonight? I should have said, "Not ok."

In other news, I've been able to get involved in the RvB forums again. It had gotten to the point where I wasn't able to think of things to say or join conversations already going on. It was as bad as my Blog can get sometimes. But I finally got back into the swing of things. I R happy... for that anywho.

Another piece of interesting news is that I'm taking the test to become shift leader at CJ's. That's right, I'm stepping my job up a notch (small as it may be). But money increases and that's what I need. So stupid me, like any test I ever have I procrastinate my studying. So I spent until 5:30AM this morning studying for this damned thing. Not only did I cram for something (which I think I'm going to do good at anyhow), but I stayed up WAY TOO long. Thus, I couldn't get up this morning and missed my one and only class today. Bloody freakin' wonderful. GRRRRRR!!

EDIT: I forgot to change the quote of the week, didn't I? There you go. Sorry Peter, I forgot why I thought what you said was funny.

Mood - content (except for the idiots posting lyrics to Leolyrics.com)
Today's Song - Cake - Shadow Stabbing

Sorry but I just don't understand how people can even post lyrics from the song Comfort Eagle twice and it's not caught as the same song. IT'S NOT CALLED BUILDING A RELIGION!!! And I'm sure Glen will let us all know whether that's a word or not.

Anywho, I know I haven't been updating lately. But once again, nothing that came to mind to post. It kind of sucks but atleast I try my best, right? I really wish Glen would post again but he got complaints and hasn't done anything.

Well here's something of interest (atleast, it interested me). Early this morning (somewhere around 12AM), I was watching one of those crime scene investigation shows. Now I'm not usually one to watch those but whatever; this one happened to catch my interest. So one of the two cases being shown was about this guy whose body was found in a park and later they found where he had been hit by a car. The problem is is that this guy's body (Hey Glen, I did it right this time!) was found with a substantial blood loss and the car hit scene had no blood to be found. What was found out later is that the guy (The one who got hit; we'll call him Bill) flew straight into the windshield and just stuck there. The guy who hit Bill happened to have been drunk and tried to sober up before calling the police. But before he could call, HE FINDS OUT THAT BILL IS STILL ALIVE. So he leaves his car in his garage and lets Bill die. Now here's the catch; the hit and run guy would have been off the hook had he known that BILL WAS DELIBRATELY TRYING TO GET HIT. A suicide note had been found by Bill's wife notifying that he intended to commit suicide. Mister Hit & Run was now in contempt for something he could have been off the hook for in the first place. Tweak! o_O

Well, Glen was supposedly possibly going to come here today to Sac State but I haven't heard from him. So I guess not. Oh well. Later dudes!

he moves his words like a prize fighter.

The man on the street might just as well.
The man on the street might just as well be."

Mood - confuzzled but happy
Today's Song - Barenaked Ladies - Another Postcard

How many times do I talk about shirts I get? Oh well, that's my new Mario Kart shirt.

Yesterday was a good day even though the Eagles didn't win. I was rooting for them the entire time and it did feel bad that they lost. But they played their best (except for using too much time at the end) and the game was close, which is what I was expecting. And speaking of shirts, I need to get myself a McNabb jersey...

I finally got around to creating some MP3 CDs; I have a CD player that can read them but I've never taken the time 'til last night to actually do it. And that's what I'm listening to right now; this CD is Barenaked Ladies, Cake, Jimmy Eat World, and Smash Mouth. Put this thing on random repeat all and I'm a happy guy. Good songs, though it started to seem like Smash Mouth wanted to play more even though there are more Barenaked ladies songs on there.

BUT... because of this CD I realized that these are my top four bands. It's kind of a funny way to figure this kind of thing out but I like it. Between these four I could listen for years (if that made no sense, ask me later).

Anywho, I gotta go... I got a class in like 4 minutes. Luckily for me, it's in this building I sit in. Later!

PS - The new quote of the week is from one of our forefathers.

"If I had to guess, I'd say the monkey sender thinks it's great.
He's sending me, maybe she's sending me, just to see me get irate.
I'm losing sleep, and it's gonna be keeping me up all night.
I thought it was funny but now I've got money on a monkey fight.

Some chimps in hard hats, chimps a-working on a chain gang.
Some chimps who love cats, burning rubber in a Mustang.
A birthday-wishing chimp, a chimp in black like a goth.
A goin' fishin' chimp, a British chimp in the bath."

Mood - very happy
Today's Song - Smash Mouth - Whole Lotta Love

Peter was able to get all the pics from the Wintereenmas party last Sunday. So I went and created four different pictures to display randomly in place of the animation. I are happy.

Also today, I got my hair cut and re - did the blonding. Always good to have less hair up there; it gets really annoying when I work, start getting too hot, and have more hair. It gets bad.

My brothers cat is getting REALLY talkative right now. Shmitty's running around and really wanting Andrew to play with him.

I really hate leaving because I feel like I've said absolutely dill. But the thing is, I can't think of stuff to say. Really, the purpose of this post was to point out the last of the new appearance. But oh well.

Later!

"For you I’d take off my shoes and my socks, baby.
And watch you laugh as I walked across burnin rocks.
But then I couldn’t chase you everywhere you go
and it’s all about the chase everybody knows.

I’d like to think that you would never make me do this.
But you know I’d do it if I had to prove it
I’d do it again and again.
You know I’d dummy up,
'cuz i got nothin but a whole lotta love."

Mood - entertained

Can't stop laughing.

Mood - intrigued
Today's Song - Smash Mouth - Always Gets Her Way

I have the tendency to look back on posts I made a year ago on my blog. And on February 4th last year, I posted about a dream I had about a laptop computer. Then I mentioned that I needed one of those like I needed a celluar phone. BADA - BING, BADA - BOOM, guess what I have? A cel - phone! So I guess one thing was solved! Too bad though since I have no way at getting a laptop for quite a long time. DAMN THEM!!!

BTW Peter, you still have yet to send me the pictures from Wintereenmas.

Damn it, I've got nothing else to say. Well, later.

EDIT (two seconds later): For some strange reason, blogger posted this and then a blank post containing no title, only my mood, song, and song lyrics. WTF?!

"I know she likes her magazines
and what they’re wearing down in Hollywood.
I know she wants green tea ice cream
and just for fun melting in the sun.
She likes her jokes as long as they’re bad
and I’ll laugh anyway.

But I’ll never really know her.
She told me all I really need to know
is that she’ll always get her way.
She knows that she will always get away with it."

Mood - happy
Today's Song - Smash Mouth - You Are My Number One (Radio Remix)

This is something I've been meaning to get around to and now it's my Red vs. Blue forums avatar:



I am a very disturbing person. Yes?

"'Cause you can tell me lies, you know that I'd still believe you. (Say what?!)
Stay right here, don't leave from that spot. (Come right back here my girl!)
I can't go, you know I'm afraid to leave you.
Don't you know, you're all that I've got?

I'm afread if you go you might disappear behind a mist.
And I'd rather be hung from a tree or shot by a gun.
And of all of these things that matter here upon my list.
You are my number one. Yes, you are my number one."

No song or mood for today. I thought I'd share a story I remember reading online during sophomore year of high - school. Enjoy!

I like monkeys.

The pet store was selling them for 5 cents apiece. I thought this was unusual since they were normally a few thousand dollars. I decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth so I bought two hundred of them. I like monkeys.

I took my two hundred monkeys home. I have a big car. I let one of them drive. His name was Sigmund. He was retarded. In fact none of them were very bright. They kept punching themselves in the genitals. I laughed. They punched me in the genitals. I stopped laughing.

I herded them into my room. They didn't adapt too well to their new environment. They would screech and hurl themselves off the couch at high speeds and slam into the wall. Although humorous at first, the spectacle lost its novelty halfway into its third hour.

Two hours later I found out why all the monkeys were so inexpensive; they all died. No apparent reason. They all just dropped dead. Kinda like when you buy a goldfish and five hours later it dies. God damn cheap monkeys.

I didn't know what to do. There were two hundred dead monkeys lying all over my room, on the bed, in the dresser, hanging from my bookcase. It looked like I had 200 throw rugs. I tried to flush one down the toilet. It didn't work. It got stuck. Then I had one dead, wet monkey and one hundred ninety-nine dead, dry monkeys.

I tried to pretend that they were just stuffed animals. That worked for awhile, that is until they began to decompose. It started to smell really bad.

I had to pee but there was a dead monkey in my toilet and I didn't want to call a plumber. I was embarrassed.

I tried to slow down the decomposition by freezing them. Unfortunately there was only enough room for two at a time, so I had to change them out every 30 seconds. I also had to eat all the food so it didn't go bad.

I tried to burn them, but I didn't know that my bed was flammable. I had to extinguish the flames.

Then I had one dead, wet monkey in my toilet, two dead, frozen monkeys in my freezer, and one hundred ninety-seven dead, charred monkeys in a pile on my bed. The odor wasn't improving.

I became agitated at my inability to dispose of the dead monkeys and I really had to use the bathroom. So I went and severely beat one of the monkeys. I felt better.

I tried throwing them away but the garbage man said that the city was not allowed to dispose of charred primates. I told him I had a wet one. He couldn't take it either. I didn't bother asking about the frozen ones.

I finally arrived at a solution. I gave them out as Christmas presents. My friends pretended to like them, but I could tell they were lying. Ingrates. So I punched them in the genitals.

I like monkeys.
