My, What a Big Sword You Have.

, , ,

Have you ever known someone who, no matter what you have to say on a matter, will take the exact opposite stance? You could say that the sky is a lovely shade of blue, and they'd turn around and argue that the sky is actually a putrid shade of purple. Why are some people like this? That's not a rhetorical question. Does anybody have a theory as to why some people seem to get off on doing this? Is it that they lack a life to the point where they need to create something to argue about in order to be entertained? Or perhaps they simply like to debate & will do whatever it takes to create a debate where there would not normally be one? Anyone? confused


A while back...I dunno, maybe a year ago? Muh buddy, Dustin, introduced me to a band called El Ten Eleven. That's what I'm deafening myself with right now. It's not my usual type of music, but whatever. "Usual" matters, not. I dig this junk. You should check 'em out. I have a feeling it's the type of music that people either love or hate. *shrug* Whatever. Pretty sure I've mentioned them before, but don't care. p


Aww, shiz. I just remembered that I need to make Peanut Butter Cookies. Apparently Sunny told all of the kids on the block that I was planning on making some...and they all placed orders. bigeyes That's fine with me - I'd rather have the kids eat them than eat them, myself. I worry too much about getting fat. left I have a feeling they'll have to fight Jameson & Lonnie for them, though. They don't really enjoy watching the ol' baked goods go out the door. lol


I'm going to be creating my own website again. It won't be a personal thing this time, however. It's going to be gaming related. All games, all consoles...basically anything related to gaming. I might even go so far as to cover board games. When I say ALL games, I mean it. Hell, I might even feel the need to discuss Hop Scotch. Oh, yeah. I'm just THAT whacky. rolleyes Games like Pocket Pool and things of that nature will not be discussed, however. I'm not willing to go quite that far. I'm not sure what to call the site yet, so if you have any badass ideas, feel free to pass 'em by me!


Okay, nevermind the mellow music. I'm back to Metal now. headbang Can't help it. Without fail, I always wind up going back to it. Sadly, I missed the Slayer show on the 5th of August. I had a feeling I would. We just moved into the new place & all. Too much going on and not enough "spare" cash. Oh well. They'll come back through sooner or later, I'm sure. Lots of badass bands frequent Portland, and Slayer is one of them...thank goodness! o


I'm gonna be the big 3-8 at the end of September. bigsmile Nearly 40 is a horrible thing for some people, but c'mon. I'd rather be old than dead. Is aging really THAT big of a deal? I think not. I can tell you this much: I feel way more comfortable in my own skin than I did when I was younger. I know who I am way more than I did when I was younger. I don't let people walk all over me nearly as much as I used to. I could keep on listing the perks forever. Yeah, my hair requires dye to cover up all the icky greys. Yeah, I can see little crow's feet next to my eyes. So what? I'd much rather look a bit icky but feel way better mentally. The trade-off is completely worth it.


Ohmaigosh. I'm finding it more and more difficult to remain positive today. Seems like the more I try, the more negativity oozes from people around me. Can we go one freakin' day without complaining or criticizing? I'd think that people would simply be happy and thankful to have everything they have rather than concentrating on negative crap, but apparently I'm mistaken. How freakin' frustrating. irked


I was watching Lonnie do the whole XBox Kinect thing the other night. I suddenly tuned the XBox out completely and just sat there watching him boogying around. lol I love him to death...more than words can express. I will say, though, that watching him flailing around like an epileptic with Tourette's was freakin' hysterical! This is exactly why I refuse to play the stupid thing. I'm not about to open myself up for further mockery. left Not only that, but this stupid thing takes pictures of you acting a fool and then displays them at the end of the game so that you can see just how ridiculous you look. lol Uh, yeah...the last thing I'm wanting is visual proof of my lack of coordination. Nooo thankies!

I should video him. Oh yeah, he'd love that. devil

The first day my uncle-in-law bought the xbox back home, we played the Kinect for 3 hours, jumping up and down and you know, doing all kinds of awkward poses... And the next day, both of us couldn't get up and had pain all over the body. rolleyes
bigeyes

A similar situation to how I learned I danced like Ricky Martin in the late 90s. I've never danced since. sad

Mad Scientistqlue Wednesday, August 31, 2011 1:46:54 PM

I could probably handle looking like a fool in front of an XBox. But don't ask me to dance when I'm sober. faint.

I could have an entire brewery in my stomach & I'd still not dance. It simply does NOT happen. lol

MConor Wednesday, August 31, 2011 8:36:39 PM

I'd shake my pasty white ass for tips, but that's about it p

KarenNerak Wednesday, August 31, 2011 8:38:17 PM

Someone could offer me a million bucks to shake my pasty ass & it'd still not happen.

Moshing? Yeah...that's just kicking people's asses to music. headbang

No. Nobody does this. You're making this up.

The internet isn't a wise place to say stuff like that p All the guys are out looking for... 'entertainment'

Robert Hurleyrfhurley Friday, September 2, 2011 7:28:05 PM

'entertainment'

Is that an thirteen letter word for 'porn'?

Robert Hurleyrfhurley Friday, September 2, 2011 7:29:39 PM

btw...

it's really lice to log into Opera & see a bunch of OGs like there were yesterday...

No, it's a thirteen letter word for "anything slightly resembling the idea of femininity that they have instilled in themselves that they can make lewd sexual comments to and wonder why they aren't getting anywhere".

I know I guy exactly like that. He has some "interesting" ideas about economics and politics and seems to delight in making proclamations which are designed to start an argument.

Of course it does leave him wide open for mockery and teasing. devil

KarenNerak Monday, September 5, 2011 9:46:02 PM

The thing that gets me with these people is that they'll argue with you about something that you've got experience doing - yet, they've never done it before in their life. rolleyes Some people are an authority on everything, I guess.

Dark FurieFurie Tuesday, September 6, 2011 7:36:37 AM

I spent more time running bars than anything else. I've trained to be like that. wink

Uh, yeah, Conor. I've actually used Mac a lot - same with other browsers.
