i have a list of my top five favorite video games of all time.

ChronoTrigger (snes)
Final Fantasy III (snes)
Legend of Zelda: A link to the past (snes)
Secret of Mana (snes)
Lufia II (snes)

i pretty much lost interest with most video games once the systems started moving away from cartridges. i cant stand the long load times, i dislike the emphasis on graphics rather than story. if i had my way, i would go back to all games being purely sprite based. there is a decent culture built around this same feeling. i know at least one friend who is in the process of writing and making his own pixel based RPG because he shares the same feelings.

So back story out of the way, a year or so ago, i bought the new release of Final Fantasy VI Advance. This is basically… Read the rest

i have no real statement to make here.

when i woke up this morning i received a text message from my kid sister. she is either eating frosting, egg whites, or ice cream, or at least i hope so.. the other possibilities are that she is in the middle of a very foamy epileptic fit, or she was a victim to drive by bukkake/money shots.

either way, the new haircut seems pretty nice…

this is a book review.. seriously…

this is a topic i never thought i would write about. i have never been one for reading on the toilet. i am an in and out man. run in, drop a deuce, flush, wash hands, run away before the smell melts your face off. there is a reason that people i am friends with have always referred to trips to the gas chamber as “fighting a brown demon” or a “holy war”. who ever comes out alive, is obviously in the good graces of their creator and not yet ready for the after life.

unfortunately, i have been sick for a couple days. i spent my whole weekend coughing, fighting off headaches, nausea, dizziness, cold sweats, hot sweats, acid stomach, sniffles, congestion, and poor judgment on movies to watch while ill… well, with the weekend gone and my work being direly short on… Read the rest

site maintenance

i realized how terribly small some of the text on the site has been

each computer i normally work on has no difficulty displaying those font sizes with out causing a headache.

This morning however, i came on here and realized that IT IS TOO SMALL

font has been reformatted to be a standard 14px as opposed to the 11px that you are used to seeing

if you are still experiencing the small text, please press the refresh button on your browser and you should get the new settings

I received the coolest card yesterday. roses, half eaten brain, blood, zombie, and a promise to end my life if i begin to “turn”…
how freakin’ cool is that??

The card was made and distributed through www.etsy.com by Tina SeaMonster
Etsy is a pretty kick ass website for buying & selling handmade items of all kinds.
i cant seem to get enough of the site, including cool things like everything from Super Mario knitted dolls to Nintendo logo hair barrettes

Back on the 4th of Feb, i was in a the washington square mall (gasp!) with Jenn.
we were killing some time wandering about before going over to see her friend summer’s new baby (cute, but evil)

We hit up the lego store and drooled. we stopped in a tea shop and drooled. we looked at some cool jewelry and some lame purses.. eventually our rambling mosey took us past some stuff we didnt expect. unfortunately, all i had with me that night was my cell phone so i apologize for the frustratingly low resolution and quality of the images…

i am no scholar, so please refrain from making an ass out of yourself in any correction you may choose to point out here. your douche baggery would be monumental

all about Valentine’s Day

i guess we should start here with a bit of information about paganism. pagan comes from the latin root paganus. this roughly translates to mean olden country dweller, and is often translated to rustic. from the modern theological perspective, it encompasses all spiritual and culture beliefs that can be easily defined as:
- folk religion
- belief in multiple gods or entities
- demonstrations of these religions or beliefs
based on these criteria, Catholicism (and other nonspecific Christian religions) are pagan, though they refuse to believe they fall into this category in the slightest. Christians have nearly always been caustic when it comes to religion differing from itself. originally, Valentine’s day was believed to be a Roman… Read the rest
