life...
man it's like this thing is a fossil. where did all the cool kids go? myspace is the devil. i xposted this from there, i used to think here first, but man barely anyone still reads these. i forget to read them myself, but then again, there's not a lot of posts. *EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ ALL THIS OTHER CRAP, PLEASE READ THE LAST PARAGRAPH*
ok well here's a quick recap. my job is awesome when it's not being fucked up by random dipshit retards. we get a lot of them, so most of the time, it's hell. i'm probably going to buy 4 new games by the end of the month, and then i'll probably blow more cash on a new cue. then in september, i'll be buying halo and a one of the new PSPs. man, at this rate i'm never going to get out of debt. i still might make some sacrifices to do so, then again i may not have to. with making more money per hour, and with the insane amount of hours we'll be getting for the holidays, i may still be able to blow a bunch of cash and pay off my bills by the end of the year like i planned.
then some random stuff has been going on socially. i get in to a harmless discussion that turns into a big argument for one person and still to me is a harmless discussion. anyways she says something to the effect of i never liked you, you never liked me stuff. now that was news to me. when i don't like someone i stay away from them. and if they persist, i tell them that i'm not enjoying their company and i remove myself to avoid unecessary conflict and drama. i'm a pretty honest guy. now incidentally this discussion was about women and men lying. i was trying to say that men lie out of convience, but i couldn't really get a word in edge wise. most of what i was saying was bouncing off of a brick wall. i never actually disagreed with what she was saying. i, in fact, pointed that out. now i think her point was that men lie all the time. she barely made a coherent point, you know one that involves support and application. but let's go with that. now i actually agreed with that. she said 50% of everything we said was a lie. now i actually said that i would go as far to say that 75% of everything we say is a lie, to women. and let's be frank, the only relationship with how and what men say to other people, that she has experience with, is the man to woman relationship. now myself being a man, i have experience with man to woman, and man to man. and frankly in the case of man to woman, i would say about 75% of the thing we say are lies. now that's not necessarily something you can convict a man on. my point was men lie out of convience. a man will lie to a woman about something, to avoid conflict. especially if that women is of little importance to him. now say there's some girls talking to me and they ask me what i do for a living. i tell them i work in retail. if they ask where, i might say, where i actually work, but i'll most likely tell them that i work at a location different from where i actually do, unless i am truly interested in one of them. this is to avoid being bothered. if they knew where i actually worked, they could come by and bother me at work, a place where i am hanging on to my sanity by a thread as it is. also what if by some chance one of them is a crazy stalker bitch? you know the ones who call you non-stop and will slash your tires. if i'm not really feeling one of them, why bother? it's all convience. there are countless other examples. like a false phone number or saying the right things to get into a chicks pants. the bottom line is that most men don't lie with the intention of hurting other people. they lie to further convience their own lives. when a men lies to get into a chicks pants, nine times out of ten it's to get himself laid, and not to go bragging that to his bros that he hit it and quit it. guys who do that are assholes. but most of the time, that's not what a man is thinking about while lying to a girl to impress her. he's thinking about having sex. that in itself can be considered a compliment. most guys will not just sleep with any chick that walks up to them. some men have low standards, but most guys have some standards. a man trying to get you to sleep with him is actually him telling you that you are hot enough that he would have sex with you, without even knowing anything about your personality. most women would go nuts for that kind of attention and acknowledgement of their physical appearance. now when men talk to other men, there isn't a whole lot of lying at all. most women don't know this. and who could blame them. we would never know if women weren't gossips, but holy shit women lie all the time when they talk to other women. they'll say some total bullshit right to another girl's face without flinching, and then come tell one of us guys that she hates that bitch. but see, men don't do that so most women don't know how man to man talk usually goes. basically it works like this. hey do you like football? hell yeah i like football! cheers! comence beer drinking... hey do you like rap music? no, i only listen to metal. oh well, disagreements will happen. cheers! comence beer drinking... and that's about it. sure sometimes we lie to each other. like, when you have sex with a girl you like, and she wasn't interested in more than that one night, and you tell your boys it wasn't very good because your hurt and vunerable, and as a man you cannot express that in any other way. that stuff happens. look at the way a woman lies. make up. push up bras. high heels. plastic surgery. and that's just visual. think about all the times a girl has told you as man when she lied to another chick. i never denied the fact that men lie. but why does that make men scum and women the paragons of virtue? it doesn't. the bottom line is everyone lies. just don't be so fast to judge people for their actions when you have no clue what their intent is, ESPECIALLY if you don't want to listen to a perspective about someone one who has no qualms or quarrels with you and is perfectly willing to listen to what you have to say. just know that if someone disagrees with you it doesn't mean they don't like you. and if you don't like someone, it's a pretty shitty way of lying to keep talking to, and hanging around that person. that's why i don't hang around with, nor talk to people i do not like, and/or have problems with. and the thing is that i don't really behave like most men do. i am certainly not on a mission to get laid every night i go to the bar. and if i have already decided that i am probably not going to sleep with a girl, i have no problems telling her 100% truth. and if it's apparent that she has no interest in me, i again have no problems telling her the 100% truth. the thing is that i'm a man, and i lie out of convience. i don't go out of my way to hurt people's feeling and make then feel inferior, just for the sake of telling the truth. i lie to avoid unnecessary conflict and drama, and because i'm truly don't see a point in pissing someone off and ruining their night when they aren't asking for it. well i'm sure i'll never get to actually get that point across in dialogue, but there it is in case anyone was wondering what i was trying to say and couldn't because i am a lying scumbag for having a Y chromosome. hey i have plenty of generalization about people with two X chromosomes. i am a huge fan of generalizations. they save tons of time, and if they are educated, are mostly correct. just remember that key word. Educated. when you generalize with little or no knowledge and experience about the topic that's when they become stereotypes, and that's also where they become wrong. and if you are spouting bullshit, eventually someone's going to say something, or everyone will stop listening.
any way, enough of that, my point is made. with support and application. man i can't fall asleep and i have a long day tomorrow. the over/under on retard customers is 14. and i will probably have to deal with at least 6 of them, a ceiling of probably 12. taking all bets. i tend to just zone out now when someone is bitching up a storm. if you ever want some fucking laughs about how dumb people are and how they blame us for them being retarded, just ask me. i've only been working in geek squad for two months and i already have about thirty stories of total DEE DEE DEEs.
ok so one to the sweet part, video games. video games don't bitch. video games aren't ever too lazy to go out, nor are they ever broke and can't scrape together a few bucks to do something. that's why i'll probably be playing video games for the rest of my life. so let's talk a little bit about the latest games that are coming up. ok so obviously everyone is going to buy halo 3. no further discussion necessary. now i'm picking up the collector's edition of jonh woo's stranglehold if i can get one. i've been wait for this game since it was supposed to come out in january, and even still after it got pushed back FOUR seperate times. and the demo shows us why. chow yun fat, old school hong kong gun-fu style, with bomb controls and sweet special moves. i can't wait. i'm also going to buy bioshock. now from the trailers i wasn't interested at all. the graphics looked shotty and there was no hint of a story or why these crazy looking drones and bubble crab look alike mechs were running around. then the demo comes out and puts the trailers to shame. ok they tell you that you are in an underwater city, atlantis style. that right there sparked my interest. then they also are cool enough to show you how you end up there in the demo. which is also sweet. then you find out cool stuff about it while you are getting there, almost a mirror of the beginning of the original half-life, which was the shiznit. it takes place in 1960, which is awesome. from the trailers i was thinking 2200s or some futuristic type shit, this is a sweet twist, and a nice refreshing set of material like old school advertisments, and 1960s type landscape inside the aquadomes. it's like watching Mad Men which is the best new show on tv by the way. then the show you the games gimmick, because your fps games have to have one to be set apart from games like bulletwitch *sigh* and they are these things called plasmids. their just special abilities. or are they? you have to inject yourself with this power juice type chemical that fuels them, and each one you find alters your genetic structure so that you can control things, like lightning, fire, or use telekenesis. highly cool. oh and there are over SEVENTY different ones. yeah that's a lot. everyone's character will be different depending on what powers they like. also all the weapons are customizable, like knights of the old republic style. sign me up. no multiplayer is kind of shitty, but the game looks like it is more rpg than shooter, and looks to boast a long gameplay life. perhaps even replay value. also it's very dark and scary to play, like doom 3 and condemned. you never know where shit is going to jump out at you from. i wasn't even going to rent it before, but now i'm buying after playing the demo. and this just speaks brilliance about xbox, and the online system. free demos for games is great for gamers. and it probably sells more games that it loses. most people wait two weeks for it to be available to rent before they buy, and most of the time they can beat it before they bring it back. mircosoft is doing almost everything right with xbox. and it shows. then there's blue dragon. finally a traditional rpg that everyone can play. *sigh* @ enchanted arms. a couple things i don't like about it but they are trival. and the job system is one of the best systems ever. you can play the characters how you want to play them. it boasts over 60 hours of play. so for the rpg elite like myself, that's probably only 40 or so, but with the job system, i'll probably spend at least 40 more screwing with all the leet combos and maxxing out all my favorite characters. then comes the biggest wild card, in two worlds. without a demo, i'm not sure it i'm going to buy it. it's supposed to be like oblivion, but up to 8 person multiplayer. we'll see if it gets the same type of expansion support and how the systems work. my biggest fear is that it's the same type of fps style of play, which means terrible controls especially for spell casters. the jury is still out on that one. i might be holding off on it. i was going to buy it for sure, but now with bioshock being a definate buy, i might not have the funds to roll the dice on two worlds. especially when i have to save money for all of the rediculously good stuff on the way, like mass effect, assassin's creed, sabetour, etc.
ren fest on saturday, and maybe again next saturday. but i'd rather see tub ring in ohio on either friday the 24th in toledo, or saturday the 25th in columbus or both. i'd be willing to drive/pay for gas to go to either show or both. drop me a line if you are interested. no spell checks, grammer checks, or capitalization on non-emphasized words.
