Sync is slightly off. Sue me.

Working Man is basically my favorite Rush song, so I put this together a couple of nights ago out of boredom. The Vault Edition is freaking awesome, and everyone ever should download it.

Poor man's picture in picture achieved by recording myself with one camera, and the screen with another. I dont have my VCR in my new room, and didn't feel like hooking it up, so you'll just have to deal with the less than stellar audio and visual.

Edit: Gamespot's quality is eh. If you want slightly better quality you can watch it here.

Go see it. Right now.

And it only made me more bored. Glad I only rented it.

Also, I find it extremely amusing that the best song in an Aerosmith game is Ted Nugent's Cat Scratch Fever.

Guess I'm gonna go back to being out of shape, again.

Its a '95 ford escort. Bought it for $1500, and I must say I am damn pleased with my purchase (Much better than my last car). On the plus side, it's manual transmission. On the down side, I suck at driving a stick. But, once I actually start to not suck, I will save more gas!

But yeah, despite loving not having to pay for insurance, and gas for the past two or 3 months, I needed to do this. Colorado winters are harsh, and I definitely don't want to be stuck riding a bike in the snow.

And for a second it felt like it was 1979.

They barely damaged the mailbox, but the post we had it on is snapped at the bottom (it was wood). It's almost like someone hit it with their car, rather than a baseball bat.... But there is a dent in the side of the box, which was definitely left by a blunt, bat-like object.

It's probably just karma. While I've never baseball bat'd any mailboxes... I have done many other things involving a car and friends that resulted in inconveniencing people. Things I'm sure a lot of people here have done, such as knocking over every (still-full) trash can on a block, and tipping over every porta-potty in town that we could find. (Pro Tip for people with frigid winters: Do it in the winter. The ground is usually too frozen for them to steak down the porta-potties, to prevent people from tipping them over)

Funny story about the porta-potties... We hit this one construction site like, 5 nights in a row, and from then on they had a cop stationed at that construction site every night, for the next 2 months.

Ah, misguided youth, how I miss you.

Yesterday I met Slunks (Slunks), James (jimb0), and Tyler (Kenshin836). It was my first time meeting anyone from the magical land of the internet, so I didn't know what to expect, exactly.

Turns out it was a lot of fun

We got made fun of at a Renaissance Festival (Pro Tip: Tie Dye, and Plaid shirts make you an easy target).

We played Rock Band.

And Tyler is officially destined to have a bad back, due to sleeping on a water bed.

It 'twas a lot of fun. Too bad I had to leave so early, otherwise this post would probably be a lot longer.

And we are the dreamers of dreams.

Yup.

He's getting ink done.

He asked for a 13, but they drew a 31.

Bigger pictures, with less redness and sheen.

So, I was going to buy an 8800gt today...

But I bought that, instead.

http://booguns.blogspot.com/ - music stuff of mine is now there... Except I just made it, so there's nothing actually on it, yet.

Was getting this.

Since you can't read the picture (and I don't feel like taking a better one) the base says, "Statue of Happiness" and the ledger that she's holding says, "GTA IV MMV III".

Probably the best little freebie I've ever gotten. The best part is, I was the only one in my line to get one.

I guess I should actually explain this one.

The last video I posted was ultimately supposed to be a joke. But, it somehow impressed a lot of people. For those who didn't get it (and judging from the comments, only like, 2 or 3 people did get it) it was just kind of a visual pun on TTFATF (Through the Fire and The Flames) on Guitar Hero 3. The very first section of that song is titled, "They're Hammer-On's". So that's basically what that was all about.

So that leads to this video. This is the result of most of my videos; Boredom. But, my last blog/video had a big play into it.

It started off simply enough, I just bascialy wanted to attempt another joke video like the last one... But have this one actually be somewhat impressive (more-so than the last one), and maybe by some off-chance nail that humor thing.

By the end of it all, I realized that while a somewhat impressive display, the, "humor" I added would only be actually funny to musicians. And even then it might not be that funny because everything I said is kinda true. Plus, I'm sort of taking a shot at the majority of the people who will watch the video.

Nevertheless, I uploaded it anyway because 1.Letting that last video be a representation of my skills on a guitar is embarassing. and 2. I worked on it for a good half an hour, and I don't want to feel like it was a waste.

RIP Brad Delp.

Edit: God this video makes me look like a big jerk.

Yup. They totally are.

And got his new CD, with a handy dandy autograph on it.

(As usual, click for larger image)

He's a pretty damn cool guy. But a lot shorter than I thought.

Who needs a car?

Well, seems like everything of importance, and pretty much all that I could cram into frame is finally here.

Basically, after I got paid last week, I bought a bunch of stuff. The easiest way for me to do this would just be to list it all.

(Pictured)

1. Seasons 5-9 of The Simpsons

2. 500GB HDD

3. Strong Bad Overkill Pack (Strong Bad email DVD's 1-5, and the Strong Bad Sings CD)

4. Rush R30 DVD CD set

5. Lego Starwars 2 (It was $5 at Target on clearance and I haven't even opened it yet)

(Not Pictured)

1. Mega Pedal for the Rock Band drum set. (I got the one in the middle) Also, this thing works great, I highly recommend it.

2. Rush in Rio DVD (It hasn't arrived in the mail from amazon yet)

3. A DVD player I got for $10 from my job

All in all, I'd say it was a pretty good haul. I've still got $40 left over, too.

But I will partake anyway.

1. Most of you should already know that I play guitar, but I decided to elaborate on it. I have done so for the past 4 or 5 years of my life. I've never had a lesson, and don't know how to read sheet music, or really have any knowledge of musical theory.

2. I'm really tall and really skinny. Currently, Last time I checked I stood at 6'2", and I currently weigh 145lbs. But since the last time I checked how tall I was dates back to around a year ago, I probably am around 6'3" now.

3. Despite skateboarding religiously for 2-3 years (as in 3-5 hours a day, every day), I have never broken a bone. I popped all the ligaments in my right ankle one time, but that's the worst injury I have sustained.

4. I used to be pretty damn obsessed with DDR. I even bought a metal dance pad. But, I haven't used it for months, which is a shame.

5. I walk 2 miles to work every day, because my car broke down, and I don't care about fixing it, or getting a new one yet.

I won't tag anyone else.

ARE GO!

I finally got around to ordering another VGA to DVI adapter, and now I have me a good ol' fashioned dual display setup.

It is oh so nice. I've felt like my screen space (or lack of) was constricting of what I do on my computer for the past year or so. I'm glad to have me some more desktop room, finally.

Now all I need to do is get bigger monitors

Also, here is a little person from the fabulous land of Mexico, dressed as Hillary Clinton.
