Hope everyone got lots of cool stuff!!

If you don't vote for Obama, you're a racist.

There. I said it.

Because there is NO OTHER GODDAMN REASON to vote for McCain.

Ok, so Ave and I were in K-Mart today and happened upon the Electronics aisle. We found Virtua Fighter 5 for the PS3 for $20, so we figured we'd get it.

Well, we get home, and the system won't even read the disc, which was odd, but we noticed a scratch on it, so we assumed that was the issue, we went back to K-Mart and showed the customer service lady the scratch and she gave us a refund. Upon handing her the disc, I noticed that the disc label looked sort of fuzzy, almost fake. Ave later commented that the underpart of the disc was purple, like a DVD-R, but I just assumed that's what Blu-Ray DVD's look like (as I've never bothered to take notice what my PS3 games look like).

We go to GameStop to rebuy the game and then notice how crisp the game image looks, as it should. We also notice that the game is SILVER and not the purple color!! So, being the insane basketcase I am , we rushed back to K-Mart to look at the game we returned and low and behold, it was bootleg game!

A factory sealed, brand new PS3 game, was a bootleg DVD-R!! How did that happen!?!?

This will drive me insane forever!

Well, I went for an interview at the Palisades Resort. I liked pretty much everything I heard, and I start the 10th. I'm losing $1.10 an hour, but my drive is shorter and I'll (hopefully) be making tips. SO, I should break even or maybe get a little more.

I'm basically the bellhop. That may sound like a step down from LP Detective, but I won't have any district managers breathing down my neck, and I won't have quotas or fear of making bad stops and dealing with crying 12 year old girls with knives and condoms in their purse...

Fuck yeah

This may be the highest production value I've ever put in a comic lol

Found a cool Sonic character creator on DA, so I made all my friends into Sonic-esque characters :)

We started off slow...


Then we showed our dominance...even though my camera took the picture all blurry >__<




But Ave kicked all our asses in golf...

A book is written with my name on it and it looks like a masturbation how-to guide

Does anyone else wish Sonic Team would just quit the 3D crap and focus on the 2D they did for the GBA and 2.5D they've been doing for DS and PSP?

Sonic Advance, Sonic Rush, and Sonic Rivals are the best game series to happen to Sonic since Sonic 3K. It just seems like all the 3D games are getting less and less playable while anything side scrolling is still just as good as it was back in the day.

Hell, if Sonic Team took the engine from Sonic Rivals and made a Sonic game for the PS3 and 360 but ignored the racing aspect, then we'd have the best Sonic to ever grace a console.

Sonic the Hedgehog had some absolutely gorgeous cutscenes and all the 3D games have had really awesome stories (Though I hate the city aspect with all the friggin people), but getting to those cutscenes is a painful experience with enough camera glitches, that death comes when you aren't around anything that can kill you. I can barely watch someone play the game without getting frustrated, let alone play it.

But, I've played through each character's game on Sonic Rivals 1 & 2 and even after playing a level 25 times already, its still a blast to run through. They just don't get old. Even trying to unlock a costime by beating a character in a race 20 times, its still fun to do.

Sonic Rush Adventure is easily the best Sonic game since the Genesis games, and if they make a 3rd game, it'll probably be the best game ever.

It just seems like Sonic isn't suited for 3D platforms but will always be shit loads of fun when you're just running to the right and busting item boxes and robots and collecting rings.

First there was...


Then there was...


AND NOW! 2008 SUPER BOWL XLII CHAMPIONS!!

NFC CHAMPIONS!! SUPER BOWL 42 HERE WE FUCKING COME!!!

You ever think long and hard about a decision you just felt you knew you had to make? Something that you knew was going to hurt someone very close to you, but you just knew you had to do it.

Then, a seemlingly insignificant event happens that completely makes you rethink that difficult decision, and in the end, you wish you didn't make it at all.

Then, you realize you missed out on a huge opportunity because of this decision, something you would've remembered for the rest of your life. Something you'll probably never be able to do again, and you figure out it was all a huge mistake, and you wish you could take it back.

That ever happen to you?

I go to my buddy Scott's comic shop, and he's hosting a DDR tournament.

While I'm there, someone asks me if I'd like to enter a sushi eating contest. The fastest to eat 12 pieces wins.

Then I baffled them all when I finished in 46 seconds, destroying the competition. Only Tony came even close to me.

Twas a good afternoon

Long story short...honeymoon good...photos many...here be few.

We got back from Orlando Comic-Con today, and we got photographed about 10 times lol

Some chicks had some big guns they wanted us to pose with hehe

So, Ave, Tony and I just got back from 7-11 (we were thirsty, and had no soda).

As we left, we saw this absolutely moronic teenager "dancing" to what sounded like a broken, over-used bass system. He had on what looked to be women's sunglasses...at midnight...and had this look on his face like he was the hottest shit in town.

--Now, when I saw this kid, a few thoughts popped into my mind:
--Your clothes don't fit, you need a smaller size.
--That's not music, it's fucking noise!
--Why aren't you at home? It's midnight and you're at 7-11 for crying out loud!
--What the hell are you doing smoking? You're clearly not old enough!
--Do your parents know you're out this late?
--Please Please PLEASE pick a fight with me!

Ok, so that last one doesn't show my age, I just wanted to kick the shit out of him and be able to say that he started it >_>

My point is, that I must not be "cool" or "hip" or "down with it"...or whatever the way these fucking scrawny-ass little fuckers are. I wear clothes that fit, I'm not 75 LBS underweight, and the music I listen to has words in it.

Also, I was completely unaware that the "cool people" no longer say "Dude!". I was under the impression that "dude" was a universal term, and when I say it and get looks from these testosterone-challenged fucks, I really wanna start yelling at them...to get off my lawn...or get a job...or something...

Is 23 years old really that old nowadays that I am COMPLETELY cut off to what society's youth is into today? Of course, if this is what the youth of today is like, then I'm glad that my job involves getting these shit stains arrested.

Fucking. Kids.

Fuck Waldo, we're talking about me here...

Well, I figure it's been a long-ass time since I made a blog post, and stuff has of course happened since my last one.

Obviously Ave arrived safe and sound in March, and we've been married since April 30th. This is probably the first time in my life where the joy outweighs the sorrow. It's an interesting feeling having things in my life finally feel like they're coming together. There's still much that needs to be done, but the process of immigration moves along more and more each day, and sooner than later, my wife will be a resident and not a visitor. Makes me wonder if Superman would need a green card if his foster parents didn't cover shit up so well...

Work goes well, aside from the fact that I can't spot a shoplifter if they held a sign in front of my camera that said "CHECK OUT THE SHIT I'M PILFERING!". I know I can apprehend them well enough, as I have made two stops alone that both resulted in me not being wrong. I actually got the chance to be involved in a chase that resulted in the shoplifter being tazed by local police...which was so fucking cool I almost laughed out loud at him hehe...

It's just frustrating that I'm so bad at my job that it seems like the store would be better off if I wasn't actually there and a sophisticated chimp took my place and apprehended shoplifters with some manor of fecal-based assault. That may be an exaggeration, but it does feel remarkably accurate sometimes when I'm sitting in that hot closet of an office for 9 hours on a Saturday alone wondering why a crowded department store seems to be devoid of dishonesty...

Ave and I have been working tirelessly to turn my former "bachelor pad" into a make-shift one bedroom apartment built for two. Fortunately, my amazing wife enjoys shelves full of action figures just as much...or more...that I do. We've got more little men in our room than a midget whore house. We've really turned this room into a home for now. Though, every day we wish to God that we had some way of getting our own place. Not that living with Mom and Dad...with Dad is a bad thing mind you, it's just that we'd love to be able to have our own place and not have to wonder when people will be getting home or if someone will come in our room at 6 AM to get keys when we could very likely be in a bed in little more than the covers over our ass...

I'm still being spectrally sodomized by the ghost of Sallie Mae when it comes to my student loan repayment "plan" that I've been forced into. When I was told that payments would be low, I assumed they meant low for the average human being who has a less than 20K a year job. Foolish me for thinking so logically. I should have known that "low" was a clever way of foreshadowing how deep I would be in debt for the next decade. It wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't still making car payments, which thankfully I was able to re-finance to make lower...

Speaking of money, I've discovered that health insurance is a scam perpetrated by an evil pharmaceutical corporation hellbent of bringing forth pain and misery to the poor, misguided fools who dare partake of their "benefits". I dare say few people, short of those who have AIDS and need CONSTANT medical care could truly meet a $3000 deductible every friggin year before I'm given any form of help with the very expensive medicine I'm requited to take so that I may live past 40 without having a massive heart attack. I would actually need to have said heart attack every year in order to meet the deductible in order to be able to afford the medicine required to avoid me having a heart attack. Irony is usually so entertaining when it happens to anyone else besides myself or those whom I associate myself with...

Though, I suppose I'm painting a bleaker picture out of my life than is truly intended. Things are the best they have been in my life since...um...well, ever really. I'm beyond happy that this beautiful woman who seems to have such poor taste in men is constantly at my side. I just pray to God that she never realizes what a louse I truly am ^_-

Well, I don't really think there's much more in my life that merits that much space on this blog, be it Live Journal or MySpace, depending on which you read, so I'll summarize any other events that have happened in a point-by-point report.

--Took Ave to her first Yankees game, and we kicked the shit out of Tampa.
--Saw the Salvador Dali museum, which was awesome, but too small for the money spent.
--One of the few people from high school whom I wouldn't avoid if I ran into him died of cancer, which was rather depressing.
--My inability to handle heat has become far worse.
--I got back into Pokemon, thanks to wife and brother. Damn you DS!
--The Wii is awesome. Period.
--I bought some books on the occult to see what that was like, and it's awesome stuff, but no, I'm not going to be worshipping any deities anytime soon.
--I'll be cosplaying once again at MegaCon, this time as a Ghostbuster, alongside my wife who will be the new Mary Marvel.
--Final Crisis sounds like DC needs to abandon ever using that word again...and I fear for the lives of anyone named "Flash".
--Peach Girl was made into an anime apparently...now if only MARS could be made into one.
--HE-MAN may or may not be returning to toy shelves and may or may not have a new series made...which isn't so much news as it is wild speculation. Though, a new live action movie is in pre-production.
--Day after day, the battle for control of Castle Grayskull and the Crystal Castle wages on on our desk. With each passing day, the armies of good and evil grow larger...depending on the speed of the mail.
--Ave and I have become addicted to buying ANYTHING that we can put in a kitchen if it's on sale at...well...anywhere. We've got everything but pots and pans.
--Bravestarr: The Legend is fucking awesome. I've always loved the series, but I've never seen the movie. Fucking. Awesome.
--This month marks the first time in my life that I've seen more than one movie in a cinema. Transformers owns your soul, and Simpsons is exactly what you'd expect from it.
--I still don't give a shit about Harry Potter, but wife says good things.
--She's staring at me right now...perhaps I shouldn't refer to her as "wife".
--....ow, my nuts >___<
--Ave can make people laugh just by saying stereotypical Aussie sayings.
--Savers is a random treasure trove.
--Though we're master decorators now, we are running out of white on the walls.
--Mortal Kombat: Armageddon has let me see what a truly bloody battle between HE-MAN and Skeletor would look like. I just gotta stop letting Ave be Skeletor. She's really screwing up the fate of Eternia >_>
--McDonalds Iced Coffee is a constant surprise of delight or shit.
--NFL action starts soon, and I for one couldn't be more...worried that my team will suck -__-
--Our honeymoon will be coming only 6 months later than it should be, which is better than we anticipated.
--CoN, Jen, Meg, Spy, and Canadian wedding-skipping bastard need to get back down here for more mayhem and insanity.
--Bitch move, Chance.


So, until my next post...which I'll pencil in for another 5 or 6 months from now.

I leave you with these words of wisdom:
"Punch life in the balls. Make it know who's boss."
