Hello from San Francisco

Its been a wild week thus far... Lotsa babies and beer and Jager shots in NC for hive (pictures pending) and then a shitty plane ride we almost missed to San Fran. Yesterday was a LONG day drinking tons of wine of the Napa Valley. Today: Alcatraz. more to come

Day 8: VACATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet... last day of work for 10 long days. Ill see some of you out in NC and over on the west side. I can't WAIT for wine time in Napa and seafood in SF. And of course guitar hero at pumpkin's... the Source mod is on hold since after me and Jones couldn't get shit working the other night, it looks like im gonna have to go in and make my own models for the mod after all. AND the stupid server plugin source code aint working either... so much for expectations... Boobies...

for those that care

i am on the fast track to creating the new robogibs mod for our server... testing begins tonight and i have nothing but high expectations of this. if it works well, porting it to a server plugin will be trivial. all that leaves is packaging of said plugin and releasing it to the world.

Day 6: Speechless

going over to digg today, i saw this little tidbit about countries that HAVEN'T adopted the metric system yet... wow... and I thought I was being open-minded on the fact. Yet here we are... on the outside looking out some more. But then again, how ironic is it that I live in one of those countries, but herald from another (goddammit Burma!)

Day 5: Anticipation

only 4 more days till sweet sweet vacation time. Heading to North Carolina this weekend for Hive, then its off to California and wine country along with a long drive down PCH to LA to meet up with Ariel and Pumpkin... tough times ahead it seems

Day 3: Regret

ugh... don't ever forget to drink at least SOMETHING non alcoholic when drinking 2 bottles of wine. It definiately bites you in the ass the next morning at 4am. The headaches begin... the mouth dryness begins... and the zombie nightmares begin... plus, Abbie is a fat, hot cat that has no business taking up space on my bed

HL2 Episode 2 gets a date!!!

about fucking time!

Day 2: Common sense

There seems to be a trend lately about blaming media and such for the miscreant acts of kids and those that commit heinous deeds. So and so killed 32 people in VT, there must be some connection to the video games he played or the movies he watched. This kid killed his friend because the songs he listens to told him it was ok. Jack Thompson even tried to thwart Microsoft's attempt at terrorism by trying to stop the release of Flight Simulator X since its a realistic flight trainer that a terrorist or misguided youth can use to fly planes into buildings. WTF is wrong with people? What happened to personal responsibility for their actions? What happened to kids being taught right from wrong by their PARENTS?
I've played video games since i could prolly walk (thanks to my brother and my parents for buying him his first commodore). I've watched hundreds of violent movies and just plain wrong cartoons (i'm sure some of you remember those Tom and Jerry cartoons and the "Big black mama" character running about), and you know what? Amazingly i have never killed a single person. I dont plan on shooting my co-workers for being disgruntled with my job. I wonder why this is? Oh wait i do know... BECAUSE I WAS RAISED BY MY PARENTS TO BE A GOOD PERSON. Sure im an asshole in general, but only to a point. Sure i want to shoot everyone on the fucking roads for being shitty drivers, BUT I DONT. Why? because i freaking know better. So when i get to read these great stories about Jack Thompson suing every violent video game out there or articles on parents taking their fucking 4 year old children to freaking Hostel 2 or see another goddamn idiot parent walk into Gamestop and buy their 8 year old GTA San Andreas, i get perturbed... Raise your kids right and let them take responsibility for their actions. If some kid shoots up a school, maybe it wasn't the video games or the hippity hop, maybe their parents did try to raise them right... maybe they were just fucking psycho so let them deal with the consequences.

Day 1: Conception

just like many of the fads out there, i have once again caved in and joined another. more to come...
