There is nothing worse than the moodiness of teenagers. Especially the
moodiness of teenagers that know big words. It just bounces around and
around and around 'til someone buys a video game or something to that
effect and everyone forgets about it because they're too humilated to
look back and realize how dumb everything they said was in the first
place. Also, as I look back on past relationships, especially ones that
went relatively far, I don't have any feelings of joy or accomplishment
whatsoever - it's as if all the time I've spent on the people in my
life has been wasted simply because they were ticked off or
dissapointed, and often times for the most selfish and pointless
reasons. It's as if most kids forget that they are just that, and try
to rise above it when really they're just making themselves look like
that two year old that sat on the porch twelve or thirteen years ago
SCREAMING for ice cream like it was imperative to their survival.
And I won't say that I'm not guilty of that myself; I have those
moments where I'm wanting something or feeling something that doesn't
agree with me, and the only way I can seem to deal with it is to take
on an attitude until things change to my demands or I forget about it.
But I stopped doing that once I realized that it's not going to help
ANYTHING to be a little bitch about things and take things as they
come. Sometimes it's disguised as cynicism, other times it seems as
though I'm ranting (if you've been reading this you already know what
I'm talking about) and fuck all if it doesn't piss some people off.
Why? No idea. I'm hoping I'll come out of these situations and feel as
though I can look back upon them and take responsibility (without
humility) for them.
But who cares when you've got GTA: San Andreas, Half-Life 2, and Halo 2 all coming out before Christmas.
My mom mentioned moving AGAIN today, but now I know it's just a side
effect of her being cooped up in the house without her job to go to
everyday. That's changing this week, I think. Moving wouldn't bug me
that much, the only thing that gets to me is having to get used to a
new school and all of that. Plus, I'm really looking forward to this
year because I've got Journalism (instead of P.E., which is ultimately
a pain in the ass cause I'm just going to end up having to take it my
Junior year).
I was dissapointed at how terrible I was at Luke's house while we were
playing, but I think that's mainly because Mark was there and it was a
tiny bit uncomfortable playing with him because he made us sound like
monkeys with drumsticks and guitar picks in comparison. I hadn't hung
out with him, aside from the few conversations we had during the
standard tests last year in Shop class.
And, just an addition before I finish this off: Doom 3 is surprising
amazing. I wasn't that excited about it because it didn't sound like
anything new (which I'm still debating in my head) but the graphics and
the atmosphere in that game is awesome. I only
played a small fraction of the first level, but I was reminded of Blue
Shift by the way it starts out (check in for work, grab gun and armor,
watch scientists at work, then watch as all Hell breaks loose). And
from the last hour and a half of the game that I watched Cory play, I'm
pretty much convinced that I'd like to try it out on my new computer,
IF my parents decide to buy it. This one is falling apart at an
alarming rate.

| Nothing to write about lately so I haven't been. I'm just putting
something in here to let people know I'm still alive and well.
Underworld is pretty awesome, if you didn't already know that.

Very interesting. George Romero helping to make a game.. hopefully The Gonk is in it. : ) | | |
| HOLY SHIT. All right, while watching 28 Days Later for the zillionth
time, I decided to turn on commentary just for the hell of it. The main
reason I did this was to find out what the pilot is saying at the end
of the movie. Okay. So, I get to the end, and what do you know- they
subtitled what he was saying. And what is he saying? "Lads, get a
helicoptor in."
So now I can see where 28 Weeks Later might be going, if it's going
anywhere. The only problem I have with this is that if Europe was
basically wiped out from the virus, why's the guy saying "lads"?

| Heh, not much going on, as usual. I rented a couple of games,
Chronicles of Riddick and Psi Ops. Chronicles of Riddick is pretty
cool, I've completed it on Normal and I'm pretty far through on Hard.
Psi Ops.. it's all right. Pretty typical, but the ragdoll physics make
it entertaining. Besides that... I'm almost done with Day of Triffids,
which is good. VERY good. Almost a shame to have to stop reading it.
This CD is trippy. Peacefully trippy, though.
I'm hoping to have Cory over or something on Friday just because I
haven't done anything like that in a while. Does anyone know when the
remake of Dawn of the Dead is coming out on DVD? I've been dying to see
it, all of the reviews for it were good. AND DAMN ALL OF YOU NETFLIX
USERS THAT ARE HOGGING UP ALL OF THE ATHF GOODNESS.
That's pretty much all I've got to say for now.
