Iran. Iran so far away.
Lately I've been subjected to a heapin' helpin' of dumb concerning Iran. Now, I don't expect everyone to have my expertise on the subject (I read a whopping THREE books about modern Iran), but holy peanuts people have been spouting some grade A gibberish. People are talking about Iran like we have never ever ever never ever done anything nasty to them and they only hate us because of "Freedom", "Those Levis Jew Pants", and "That Hippity Hop Sex Music." So for those of you not in the know, we kinda destroyed their democratically elected government back in the 50's so we could install an oil-exporting monarch. This lead to the Islamic revolution (against our monarch) in the late 70's, which of course rolled into the Iran-Iraq war where we supported the country that attacked Iran AND SO ON. Anyway, here's something special from Saxby Chambliss, the esteemed senator from some fucking state that no doubt has awesome values (Georgia)... "Well, that election was, what, almost 60 years ago now. The world has changed dramatically since then. And I dare say that you go up to any of those people in Tehran who are protesting in the streets and say, Hey, what about the United States meddling in your election in the `50s, they would shake their heads, like, What in the world are you talking about?"Yeah. They probably don't remember that at all. Ancient fucking history. Iranians typically can't read books and don't tell their children about significant happenings. Dude said that on national TV, without a smile or irony. | | Tuesday, June 16th, 2009 | | 9:11 pm |
Behold.... the Lance Ito of Street Fighter!
As many of you know, I'm a real fighting game nerd. I started playing the damn things in high school with the release of Street Fighter 2, skipped class to fight at the local 7-11, stayed out 'till morning to play a location-test Mortal Kombat 2... that sorta crap. So now that I'm older and wiser, I'm no longer ditching my responsibilities to play stupid video-boxing games. Instead I'm flying to Vegas to attend Evo 2k9 (the biggest tournament in These Americas)... not merely attend, mind you, but to apply my seasoned legal mind to solve potential problems that may arise. That's right fuckers! I was selected to judge a totally inconsequential event and I think it's rad. I'm in my 30s... and this silly shit still gets me totally excited. Anyway, I need to get a robe, judicial wig, and a goddamn gavel if I'm gonna do this thing right. "Bailiff, please escort Mister Bison to the lockup, his constant use of the Psycho Crusher leaves me no choice but to hold him in contempt."

This Food Tent is Freakin' Stocked.
Okay, now I've turned all the people in my real-world life onto my new love, the t.v. show infoMania, time has come for me to force all of you in cybaaarland to watch it. Watch it! It's fucking funny. | | Friday, May 29th, 2009 | | 10:06 pm |
Set phasers to "rape"
So I went to a "Star Trek Themed Improv" tonight, presented by what claimed to be a semi-professional drama troupe. This event was not presented free of charge.How was it, you ask? Well, other than being miserably hot and uniquely lengthy, I believe my main man ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) windsagio said it best... "It wasn't so bad once the Stockholm Syndrome kicked in."yes. | | Saturday, February 21st, 2009 | | 2:16 pm |

Boring year-end nonsense!
A year, focused on ME, compressed: - Gave up on computer game, shoveled work into board game and novel. Board game is done and awaiting art completion and will be self published soonish. Novel will never be published because I'm not very talented. - Got better, for the most part. I can actually go and do stuff now, like, stuff other than going to physical therapy. - Went on a cruise to Alaska. Some laughs, surprisingly dull overall. I'm glad I don't live there. - Bowled a 300. - Enjoyed some politics. - Played / obtained some excellent board games. The collection is getting kinda obscene. I thought about trimming it, but I think about a lotta stuff. - Got into biking again. - Rekindled my fighting game passion, to the point that I'll be attending EVO next year. I plan on losing in a dramatic manner. - Hung out. Drank some good brews. Read some good books. Saw some good movies. Lied about some good bowling scores. Cooked a few good meals. - Life was pretty alright. | | Thursday, November 27th, 2008 | | 2:07 pm |
Giving Something, possibly Thanks.
I may be at work, busting by agates to forge a Thanksgiving dinner for the clients I work for before I leave at 3 (got here at 6:30) 'cause swing shift can't cook worth a fuck so I can't leave it for them, swaying a little because I'm tired as fuck... ...but I'm thankful I don't live in Mumbai. Christ, have you seen the crazy action-movie shit going down there? Among the other horrors, motherfuckers stole a police van and drove around, shooting at crowds! On anther note, don't you think world leaders condemning these attacks is pretty pointless? Both Obama and Bush did so... well guys... no fucking shit. Even your most insane political enemies wouldn't assume you were down with machinegun rampages if you didn't say otherwise. Gah. Well, shift ends soon, and then I'm going home, maybe play a little Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix (SSF2THDR!), watch some Heroes, space out, and getting some goddamn sleep. I hope I dream of machine-gun toting turkeys coming after me for revenge. (FYI, as a vegetarian, I still without irony state that my turkey is fucking incredible.) | | Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 | | 11:33 pm |

The World's Worst Vegetarian.
I'm currently mixing a roast beef martini for Matt. I might try to mix the leftover turkey gravy with something, but we'll see where we are after the au jus goes down. | | Saturday, October 25th, 2008 | | 1:05 am |

"My son, I was there when WaMu ate the dick."
So yeah, massive financial crisis ahoy. This might be huge, kids. Not like "whoah! Interesting news day!" huge, but like "change your life" huge. It all depends on how we decide to play it.... (FYI, I'm in favor of some sort of bailout. We can work out the details, but we need some form of market stabilization real goddamn fast.) | | Thursday, September 11th, 2008 | | 2:35 pm |

If only it was a title...

The Old Man and the Sea
I'm a'leavin for a week long cruise in a couple hours here, so I hope you all manage to enjoy the internet while I'm gone. I'll bring back souvenirs for everyone (that means you). Current Mood: Sea | | Thursday, July 10th, 2008 | | 12:29 am |
Like a goddamn seven-four-seven.
Dude, I know I'm constantly posting the goddamn youtubes, but you MUST WATCH THIS. It's the grooviest video ever. At around 1:45 it goes for the three and sinks the motherfucker. (ps: Earth, Wind and Fire is legitimately one of my favorite bands, so if this smacks of irony to you, I regret to inform that I'm not cool enough to like this by disliking it) Current Music: EWF Greatest Hits, vol 1 |
