It's a Freakin' Party!

Last night was pretty awesome, I'm not gonna lie.

So at around eight Uri and Pete come in and complain that there's nothing to do around Fulton. It's true, most Fultonites were either home for the weekend or away at the LEAD retreat. So I suggested we play on my not-so-healthy XBox. Uri and Pete setteled down and we played Left 4 Dead.

Before we started playing, Uri brings in his amps and laptop and starts blasting techno/dance/etc... some crazy experimental stuff. We can't hear crap on the TV but we're having fun.

We finish up at around 9:30, when Lindsey and Lauren walk in. They start talking to me and we're having a nice time. When out of the blue Lindsey's all like: I want to play Rock Band! Let's play! So I "borrow" John's Rock Band 2 disk and plop it in. And I attach my drums and guitar... and find out the XBox LIVE mics work... limitedly.

We start up and Uri and John enter back in. John plugs in his guitar, and we're all set.

We all play for hours and hours, struggling through hard songs and easy songs alike. It was tons of trouble but load of fun. We play until visitation ends: 12:00... it's also the time Lindsay needs to do her final RA rounds. So she was done as well as Lauren.

So Uri, John, Pete and I finish up some more songs. We play until about 1:20, so none of us got to sleep until around 2. It was pretty crazy.

Oh ya! Uri hooked up his amps to my TV and my room was shaking with rock songs blasting our eardrums out. It was truly epic.

What a slick night, I want to do that more often on Fridays.

Toby is Weird

My poodle is stupid.

Earlier, I was playing ball in the driveway... it hit the tree... hit him in the nose.... hit the fence.... and then he caught it. It never hit the ground...

But then my mom found out that he's afraid of balloons!!! He's not just afraid of squirrels, but balloons too. So she chased him through the house with it... it was really funny.

Ultimate

It, was, EPIC!
So today was MY first game of Ultimate Frisbee... and I think I did great.
I played some good deense, but wasn't too good with throwing. I did score us one, or two points. And I blocked a LOT of throws. One guy was mad tall, and I denied him the disk as many times as I could. As Pete Yochim said: "Again, you are a defensive monster." It's true, thank you very much. But the rest of the team did fantastic as well. Oz and Carl owned on offense, Shaun played some sick d, Janelle and the girls played pretty well, and Pete and Uri seemed to be everywhere. We also had an epic offensive player Nick from Ferrin Hall. It was pretty cool. We lost 8-16 but we had it, until the end... when they score like 4 points in two minutes. Grrr.
Anyhow, I had fun and I'm really psyched about this play my friend Jasmine wrote. It's at ten, and I get chapel credit! Budda bing!!!!

Opening Day at Fenway!

SO my dad invited me to Boston to be in the Fenway area when the game started today against the Rays. I came of course. But when I got there, my dad had this idea that he could get tickets... without being charged ridiculous prices for them. So he went to the scalp-free zone... and found tickets for $24 each! We both got in, and sat through the WHOLE GAME! I mean, it was OPENING GAME!!! How sweet is that?! And the Red Sox won too! 5-3. Beckett had a great game, letting up 2 hits and 1 run... with around 10 K's.... It was epic.

Preliminaries 5

Round 5!
Today's Preliminaries:
Non-Human Monsters

Villains, allies, and what not! Top four of eight pass on.
- Godzilla (Godzilla)
- King-Kong (King-Kong)
- Alien (Alien)
- Pikachu (Pokemon)
- JAWS (JAWS)
- The Giant Squid (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea)
- Moby Dick (Moby Dick)
- Cookie Monster (Sesame Street)

This is a tough one... But I'm going to have to choose four...
Hmmm.... HMMM....
Today's winners are:
- Godzilla:
Nothing beats the classic monster-movie monster of Godzilla. Raging through many different countries and islands this monster has been around for so long and is still popular.
- Alien:
No villain can match the pure evil of Alien, well maybe a few can, but this Alien is focussed on killing... Killing... and did I mention killing? I mean, it has ACID for blood! And it's mouth ejects itself and its offspring literally spring out of its victims... totally a monster to contend with.
- Moby Dick:
One of the classics. Charles Dickens' Moby Dick is a mean and tough monster bent on teminating its archrivals. The only person as hot-headed as Moby Dick is the one one hunting it, Capt. Ahab.
- Cookie Monster:
Though some may argue Elmo is a much more popular monster from Sesame Street, this popular childrens show shall not go unforgotten or unrepresented. It's still around for goodness sake! Cookie Monster is just a classic example of children's television in the 80s and 90s, and that is why he remains on this list.

Well, I made some tough choices today but I think we're all in for some more excitement soon!
Our next preliminary:
- Scientific Experiments

- Alex

Carman

Carman, one of the greatest Christian Musicians ever has been a source of serious inspiration for me. His music has helped me through tough times and has given me the resolve to move on and act upon my faith. Now, I'm not trying to preach... who am I kidding... I am preaching. Listen, if you want to hear some wonderful, mostly 90s music from a multi-talented artist I suggest Carman. From Rock to Rap to Techno this guy has it all... even classic worship songs.

Go there, and let the word of God revive you.

Preliminaries 4

Today's Preliminaries:
Dudes with Super Powers

As is typical, the top four of eight advance.
- Superman (Superman)
- Spiderman (Spiderman)
- Magneto (X-Men)
- Wonder Woman (Wonder Woman)
- Human Torch (Fantastic Four)
- Green Lantern (Green Lantern)
- Flash (Flash)
- Jean Grey (X-Men)

Alright, this has been a topic of some serious controversy... but I'm picking MY top 4...
The winners today are:
- Superman:
I know he doesn't TRULY have super powers, it's just some mix match of suns that change something and so on and ya, but he's Superman, one of the greatest superheroes of all time.
- Spiderman:
A true super power. He's got those spider senses and can climb walls. It doesn't hurt to shoot webs and swing from building too. This makes Spiderman a contender.
- Flash:
Fast and dangerous, Flash's super speed places him in today's top 4.
- Jean Grey:
The first woman contender, whoot! Her looks, her ability to use telekinesis, and her entire storyline makes her an indeal candidate for the Ultimate Showdown.

Well, that's it for today folks. Tune in next time!
Upcoming prelims:
- Non-Human Monsters
- Scientific Experiments
- The Young: Famous Teens and Kids
- Hollywood Celebrities (Round 1)

- Alex

Preliminaries 3

Today's Prelims:
Politicians

We're mixing it up today: TEN Politicians, but still only four advance.
(Beware, I am a Conservative Republican)

5 Modern Politicians:
- Ronald Reagan
- Newt Gingrich
- Barack Obama
- Hillary Clinton
- Richard Nixon

5 Historic Politicians:
- FDR
- Abe Lincoln
- George Washington
- Chief Justice Marshall
- Grover Cleveland

The winners are...
- Ronald Reagan:
Who doesn't love this actor-turned-politician? The GREAT COMMUNICATOR lives on as one of the most favored Presidents of all time, and the initiator of the "star wars" program. Helped end the Cold War.
- Richard Nixon:
Not all Presidents were nice people, and some were even shrewd or seen as evil. However, none were as controversial as Richard Nixon. The Watergate Scandal plagued this President and led to the first resignation, and the only one to date.
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt:
Preobably one of the greatest Presidents of all time. He led the USA through the Great Depression and through WWII. Fireside chats and a seriously public image have helped shape how the President is viewed today. He also started a strong alliance and Democratic party in hte US.
- George Washington:
The First President of America. He helped shape the Presidency in many many ways. He helped free our land from England, and didn't let the power he received get to his head. Congrats on being absolutely amazing Mr. Washington.

Well, those are the four that will move on. I hope that the next preliminaries will be even more rivetting!
- People With Super Powers

- Tony Montana:
How many movie quotes are as famous as "Say Hello To My Little Friend?" Not many. And the gang he's got goin could prove useful in this contest.
- Robin:
Who hasn't picked on the boy wonder? Who hasn't made a HOLY _____, PERSON'S NAME HERE? I think that deserves some respect. And he's Robin, I think he can hold his own in this contest.
- Jeff Probst:
One of those infamous TV quotes that has been around for years: "The Tribe Has Spoken" has been heard by millions and millions. The only person who even comes close to this infamous line is Donald Trump's "You're Fired."

Well those are the four from this category! Coming up next time: Politicians

Mwah ha ha!!!

An Attack On My Person

How did I get talked into playing Settlers of Catan? I hate that game so much!!! I hate it with an unnaturally firey passion. I always swear and get upset when I play, so why did I play it!? WHY!?

I'm so pissed off right now! I will never play Settlers of Catan at Gordon College again! If they ask me to, even kindly, I will refuse with the most adament hate. I will never play with these 'tards again!!!

If you are one of the 'tards who I play with (minus Uri or maybe Pete or Shaun) you're idiotic. Just because I'm the best, doesn't mean you should always tag-team me at every corner. The reason YOU always win (you now who you are, dumbass) doesn't mean you are any good. You pull stupid and shady trades at all times, and screw everyone and pay them off to get their resources. You also lead the tag-team against me and do everything in your power to attack. Hence the reason I say I hate you, dumbass. I will never play with 'tards like you again.

For all of my readers, I rarely get this passionate about stupid board games. Games like RISK and Monopoly and Apples to Apples are much more fun. Luck of the role plays a huge part in RISK, and I usually get pretty good roles. Tag-teaming is natural in RISK, so it's ok. Monopoly, it's a stupid game everyone hates and never plays... so I like it. And Apples to Apples is a fine and funny game where it's solely luck that someone picks your card. There is no deliberate teaming.

So bug off you dumbasses who think you're all that by making someone mad, congrats you win. You made me mad, but I'll never let you do it again. Let this victory be a lesson for you in the future: I'll be on top because I can ACTUALLY win, and you'll lose because you're gonna piss off your boss and never hold an ACTUAL job... dumbasses.

Please don't mind the minor language, I've been known to use much worse words... and am really trying not to type anything too profane. I don't think my choice of words is at all that bad, but it is minorly vulgar and I apologize to my readers for that. With that asside, I must say that if you enjoy a GOOD game of Settlers of Catan (like my parents for example) I'll be happy to join you. Please note that I AM competitive and retaliate to all attacks, but I'll be nice to people who are nice to me and so forth. If you don't blatantly attack me for the fun or joy of making me mad, then it'll be a fun game for everyone, even if you beat me fairly. Thank you kind people (People like Uri, who plays the game for fun and not to hurt only me).

I appreciate any concern or prayers regarding my quick temper and anger issues. But I will never play Settlers here again, and that's final.

Preliminaries 1

Today's Preliminaries:
Bad Guys with Cool Swords

Out of eight, four will be chosen.
- Darth Vader (Star Wars)
- Zabuza (Naruto)
- Sephiroth (Final Fantasy)
- Nightmare (Soul Calibur)
- The Black Knight (Fire Emblem)
- Ganondorf (The Legend of Zelda)
- Protoman (MegaMan)
- Darth Maul (Star Wars)

Alright... Star Wars has two representatives in this category solely because ligthsabers are rockin' swords. Who doesn't like a sword made out of light that can slice you easily in half? Alright, time for the results:

On to the actual showdown are-
Darth Vader: Nothing compares to Vader when it comes to epic swordfighting with an awesome sword.
Sephiroth: The fact he can move so fast with such a long and bulky sword is just proof that he rocks.
Nightmare: Soul Edge has to be one of the slickest evil swords in existence.
And last but not least...
Darth Maul: He can move fast, jump in crazy directions, and weild a dual-blade... and fight off two Jedi at once!!! Talk about Epic!

Ladies and gentlemen, those four will move on to the actual competition. Will those other four find a way to make it? Or are their fates sealed?

Coming up:
- People with strange phrases
- Politicians
- Heroes with super powers
- And much much more.

The Ultimate Showdown

Well, I'm going to think of a list of 64 people... real and fake... movies, videogames, politics, books, etc.... human and nonhuman... and so on... and pit them against each other in an epic battle to determine WHO is the greatest of all time!!! Any readers can send me ideas of participants, but if not.... There will be try-outs. Mwah ha ha ha!!!

Ok, BEGIN!!!
