...death becomes clear through bloodshot eyes...

Song of the Day: "Say Hello" - Die Symphony

A big fat merry Saturday to you all.

Since the Fantasy Shop on Gravois is closing today, Dave and myself are going to make a second and final run up there today to get some last minute items we might have overlooked on our Thursday afternoon run. Everything is 20% - 60% off, and the other day I dropped over $200 on varied items. The discounts might be bigger today, considering it's the last day.

While there, I picked up "Zombies 4: The End..." (Hiz, I'm sure you remember "Zombies", which is a lot more fun with more than two people playing), some extra zombies (seeing as we ran totally short last time we played), as well as a couple other card games and deck protectors.

As of plans for the night, I don't know of anything happening. I was thinking of having something of a "game night", but I don't know who would be in. Anyway, most people have taken a liking to O'Learys. Plus most games suck when only two people are playing.

Ta.

Song of the Day: "Patient Mental" - Mudvayne

Goddamn, bitches. How's it going?

I'm home from my "wonderful" stint in Texas and what was looking like a decent trip is spiraling towards a bad one, seeing as most orders are cancelling or are turning up bad credit.

Whatever.

Anyway, I'm home for the week, which is nice. Some shit happening at the office and a lack of leads have lead to my time off, which I always accept with a smile.

The PSP is my new god of the handheld games. Lumines is the most addictive game I've played since Tetris, and I was really addicted to Tetris.

I've also started laying down vocals to a track that Nix, Dave, Beav and I worked on a while ago. It was meant to be another collaboration track, but all of us got distracted that night. So I took a solo effort spin on it, and hopefully it will turn out alright.

I told my dad about the NIN concert, and he's trying to get me more tickets. I'm really not sure why, but I'm not gonna tell him no.

At any rate, I hope that your day is a good one.

Song of the Day: "Swinging The Dead" - Devildriver

Greetings from Tyler, TX. This is the first day on the whole trip I've been able to get internet access, but this will be a somewhat short post.

Things have been average on this trip. Nothing to really write home about. Fortunately, I'll be home on Monday.

I picked up a new cd, a few more books as well as a few movies too.

And there's the bare bones of it. I'll talk to you all later.

Song of the Day: "Genius" - The Exies

I haven't felt this good all day.

Happy belated birthday to me.

I leave for Texas today. I've got a flight out at 5 p.m., and Dave was gracious enough to give me a ride. Jeff is already there, and I'm just gonna catch a ride home with him.

I finally broke down and got a PSP. I haven't messed with it too much, but I am completely happy with my purchase.

I know I should be tired, but I'm really not. I've got a headache and I should be packed, but I should have enough time to get it done before I head to the airport.

I also posted a link to the "Manos" song in the Brainshift thread on the forum board.

That's all I've got, boys and girls. Enjoy.

Song of the Day: "Only In Dreams" - Weezer

I am tired. I ended up not sleeping last night. I was gonna finish Viewtiful Joe, but got frustrated and moved on to Psychonauts. It's quite a fun little game.

I also completed a new song. Nothing neat, unless you've seen the movie. Titled:

"Manos: The Hands of Spawn"

Horrible movie, and a horrible soundtrack to go with it. It consists of horrible dialogue and 2 songs for the duration of the film. So, I made something of a techno mix of it.

When I have free time, I really do abuse it.

Song of the Day: "Gnawing At My Hands And Feet" - Brainshift

I got my camera today. I am so happy that I have a new toy, and this camera actually works. For being as old as 1998, it looks and feels like it's brand new. Even so, I'm glad to have it. It even came with a carrying case, an added bonus. So now I'm sitting at my window like some perverted old man, giving it a test run.

As you can see, by the title, I have finally finished another song. It's been a while since I've actually finished one, and it felt good to do it. Plus, I think it's the most aggressive tune I've done yet. If you'd like to grace me with your ears, you can listen to it here.

I leave for Texas on Saturday. I was supposed to leave on Thursday, but since my birthday is on Friday my dad is going to have me flown out instead of leaving with Jeff. He can drive the 20 hours on his own. I've had to do it before, and if I can do it that means it's possible.

I've beaten Resident Evil 4 yet again, and I have now moved on (or back) to Viewtiful Joe.

That's about all I have for my faithful readers today.

Song of the Day: "Spawn" - Silverchair & Vitro

Ahh, yes... Another late night.

I'm tired and about ready to go to bed, so I guess this will be short.

I have won the camera, so I'm now anxious to get it and play around with it. The Hellraiser DVD's I got were cheap VHS to DVD transfers, which are the same ones I had before. I gave them to Nix, as I had no use for them.

I leave tomorrow for Springfield, MO. I'll be gone until Saturday night, but I don't think we'll be getting back in until later. I hope things go well. I could use it.

The 4th was fun, drinking and blowing stuff up. I'm just glad something came together, even if it was last minute (like things used to be).

Got some cleaning done earlier this afternoon as well. Yay me. Cleaning. Again.

Sarah has begun to call me again. I wish she'd just leave me alone, and despite my repeated "requests" for her to leave me be, she just doesn't seem to get it.

I haven't worked on my story for a few days, and I haven't messed with Acid for quite a while. Corey has renewed my interest in gaming, and I've been playing Resident Evil 4 again. Great fucking game.

And with my soda gone and another cigarette smoked, I bid you farewell.

Song of the Day: "Superman's Dead" - Our Lady Peace

I'm sitting here eating cheese and crackers for breakfast. How sick is that? I've made a meal out of an appetizer, and I don't know if it's the cheese, cracker, or pepperoni that's the most filling. Either way, it's still a tasty and easy snack.

@Quill: Unless I'm uber-outbid at the last minute, the camera should be mine. T-minus 11 hours...

I've been thinking about last night a little bit, and the situation that transpired with the Hizz, and here's all I have to say: Any other problems that you might have going on right now, I'm sorry for you and I hope that they are soon resolved. With the Beaver situation, I completely hold you responsible. You spoke out of turn, regardless of your intent or action, and when confronted about it began to cry and tried to confuse the issue with other things happening in your life. It's not your job to make everyone else happy. It's your job to make you happy. Maybe you haven't heard the rest of us clearly enough:

We don't care to be friends with Erich; we don't want to be friends with Erich.

I'm tired of being told we're the ones to fault here. Anyone with half a brain can see otherwise. All we did was not like his girlfriend/fiancee/very-soon-to-be-wife. Because of this, we're boring and not worth hanging out with. Then we're the assholes because he doesn't want to come around anymore. We don't spend enough of our parents money, I guess. After we've been defecated on so many times, we began to re-act, no longer just responding, to his asinine behavior.

Now, you're crying and beating a bar table because no one want anything to do with your "friends". You thought Sarah was your friend at one point too.

If you want to make us happy, leave the issue alone. We don't really care, or at least I don't.

Song of the Day: "Phoenix" - The Hunger

I thought I was gonna sleep, but apparently that's not the case.

I went to lay down some time after Dave had called, and I started thinking about the story I'm writing.

@Nix: I think you were right about the 3rd person thing. I'm gonna go that route, as it's easier to convey things. If I'm gonna spend the time doing this, I might as well do it in the way that makes most sense.

And now that I'm doing a 3rd person perspective, I've come up with even more ideas. Great, more shit for me to think about.

BTW, I posted this in response to the last post of Beavers blog. Just in case you don't check there again for a while.

Steve told me not to be Erichs best man, so of course (being under Steves mind control powers) I had to obey. It has nothing to do with my own opinions. So Dan, you can blame Steve for this horrendous position you're in.
