Hello my name is: Retard  
So, I was getting ready for the gym today and couldn't find my combination lock. I got tired of looking for it and didn't want to miss my bus so I just left. I've gone to the gym and not locked my locker plenty of times of the last 10 years and nothing has happened, so I didn't really think about it too much. Sooo...you can probably see where this is leading, right?

That's right! My phone and wallet got stolen out of my locker today! So I feel like a complete retard. Now I have no debit card, no bus pass, no driver's license, 2 stolen credit cards, no phone, no wallet, and no one's phone numbers that were in my phone list. So, this is kind of my fault, but you can still leave me comments that say how it's totally society's fault and maybe even President Bush's fault just to make me feel better. Trust me, I don't really want any more truth today. Thanks!

Weekend de la fiesta!  
Hey, so I had a pretty good weekend this week. Last night was a house party/house warming party at my new place. There were about 50 people that showed up. There was plenty of food and drinks and fun! Though my friends that showed up laughed because they realized that everyone there was white except for them. It's true there were like 50 white granola Seattlites at the party. So, when it came time to dance...they all hid in the kitchen. Oh white straight people...so predictable.

Anyway I was DJing and it was pretty fun. This same girl kept coming over and requesting stuff and I was getting tired of her. She even brought over her ipod so I could play some of her music. I mean I'm all for diverse music and all, but bitch please, back up off my grill.

There was some dancing to be had, and I found it hilarious that I got the most people dancing to Mariah Carey and Beyonce. Straight white people love their divas apparently! Anyway, it was good times and I drank WAY too much and then today I went and purchased Mario Kart Wii! Yay! So it was a good weekend and I'm sad that it's over, I really don't want to go back to the reality that is work. Oh well, the weekend is only 5 days away.

Happy Post #1  
So, I said I was gonna do a happy post each week, and I meant it! So since the week is almost over here it is. So, yeah the week wasn't that exciting or anything, but I did have a little more free time than usual. I got to get in some quality time with friends and made it to the gym 4 times this week, which is good considering I have to take the bus to get there now!


So my shenanigans this week consisted of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates (long title and awesome game) with Bryce and Zombie card games with a group of heterosexual friends and acquaintances. The zombie game is kinda hard to explain, but by the end I was having fun...and not just because of the wine and ice cream! Oh and I also found time to watch some 'Flight of the Conchords' that I had gotten in the mail like a week ago from Netflix. It's a funny show if you are a nerdy/quirky geek who happens to like music and New Zealand.

It's past my bedtime...again.  
Once again I'm up just barely finishing my homework on time. All this week I've been up late doing homework and just not getting anything done. I've been doing some horrible, HORRIBLE time management. The only thing I can even remember doing this week is work and Gay Island Dailies in WoW. I really need to be more productive. So, I'm taking the weekend off from WoW to get my head straight and figure out the best way to make my days more effective. Cuz, right now I'm just being much to comfortable doing nothing. I've barely even eaten this week I've been so fracking lazy! I cooked once! I'm a shameful human being.

Anyway I'm going to bed and hope that I wake up on time tomorrow.

PS: Are ALL of my posts about how I keep fucking things up?


(answer: yes)

Hey kiddies  
I'm moving tomorrow. Yes, I'm finally moving out of my crackhead building in downtown. Part of me will miss the crackheads, but a bigger part of me will like not getting poisoned by their vile crack fumes every day. So, I'm moving up to Greenlake/Maple Leaf/Ravenna/Northgate/Wedgwood? I dunno, I can't keep track of those god damn North Seattle neighborhoods, they all look the same and everyone who lives in them likes to pretend that they live in one of the other North Seattle neighborhoods anyway. For all I know I could be in Lake City.


Anyway, I'm moving into a house with 4 other people and a cat. It's also a vegetarian household. Am I vegetarian? Um...I am now! I figured a change was good, so I'm changing the way I do things. I'm becoming more social by living with other people again and trying new things by switching to a vegetarian diet. I've done vegetarian before, so it's not like I'm doing it JUST for this living situation, I'm just not hardcore about it or anything. Oh and I'll be riding my bike to work every day too, that'll be kinda fun.



Oh yeah, and I haven't packed yet.

Have you SEEN this??  



This is not fake, it was officially announced today and it will be released this summer. I'm not really sure what to say. I mean, I sort of hate it and I sort of love it. On one hand it feels that Guitar Hero is about to 'jump the shark'. On the other hand, I pretty much love crazy ass DS peripherals. Oh, and it comes with a pick stylus. For reals.

Art type stuff  
I don't know if this is even gonna work, as I alway shave issues with this thing and photos. But I'm just posting a rough draft of an assignment I'm working on for class. Not for any real reason, just cuz.

OK fine, so I just wanted to find an excuse to use my new Catwoman icon.


OK I'm goin to the gym now, and then back to homework. Have a fun weekend losers.

LOLZ for Leap Year Day, or whatever the fuck you call it  
This cartoon which I hadn't seen in years randomly climbed out of my brain today while I was at work. (My job sucks so I tend to drift off) So, the first thing I did when I got home was check to see if it was on youtube, and thank god it was.


Please enjoy!






Stop ignoring me! I have a grapefruit!

Every fucking day with these kids...  
I kind of had a break down...oh about 10 minutes ago. Not going into details, just stating that I'm a fucking mess and I need to get my shit together. I've been on a pretty fucking steady decline for like 2 years now. It's really sad that I know all of my choices have sucked for that long and I'm just not getting any better. So, I suppose the only thing to do is get drastic.

Bask in the glory that is: Swan.  
I've been busy with homework this week, and one of my few joys this week was finding videos of Ms. Swan on youtube. So, I thought that I would share a couple of my faves on here. Please be allowing Swan to brighten your day.

Because I don't have ENOUGH to do all ready  
I work 40 hours a week, not to mention commuting time. I go to school full-time and now I'm training for the Seattle to Portland bike ride! I've joined up with 'Team in Training' to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I've got about 5 months to come up with $2800, so if you or anyone you know wants to donate, please go to:

http://www.active.com/donate/tntwaak/tntwaakKLooney

If you refer anyone, please make sure they go to that site or it won't count toward the money that I'm raising. Anyway, I'm not here to beg for money, but I AM a shameless whore. This is just an update post to tell what I'm up to. My OTHER project...besides finding a bike for said bike ride (shut up) is that I'm designing a line of stuffed toys that I'm planning to produce with a friend of mine. We had some ideas a couple months back, and now I have some new ideas. I'll post some pics once I get some good mock ups done. Anyway they will be adorable and there is a website (yes, another one) where you can sell your craftiness:

http://www.etsy.com

So if anyone else out there wants to sell (or buy) fun crafts you should go check it out. Anyway, that's about it for today. I'm going to go shower and get to bed. Because tomorrow I have to work all day and then go to a Team in Training party after work...and then do homework. Yeah, I'm a busy kid.

JEM IS EXCITEMENT!  
My draenei shaman has finally reached 70! And to celebrate, here is a new icon! I will have to get some pics of Jemsweater (my shaman) and Beatdazzler (Bryce's shaman) doing shenanigans on here sometime soon. But for now, I don't have any cool pics of her in action. She needs to get more epics before she is fit to be seen in her full glory of level 70. So, these videos of Jem related love will have to suffice until then.

Depressing  
Well, I think this just about sums up Iraq these days.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/01/01/iraq.main/index.html

It's just really depressing when this is the only news that ever comes out of Iraq. I'd like to think that at least SOMEONE over there is having a slightly improved way of life, but all I ever hear is stuff like this. So...yeah...uh, thanks America?

Let's put a smile on that face...  
So, in case you don't know: I loved 'Batman Begins'. Sure, it had some random things in it that weren't from the comics, but that's how movie adaptations work. And I thought that the director and actors all did great jobs. So, I've been looking forward to the sequel for a while now.


When I first heard who was playing the Joker in the sequel, I was a little confused. But, I was willing to give the director the benefit of the doubt. Well, I got my first peak at the movie on Sunday, as they were showing the first 6 minutes of the sequel (The Dark Knight) before 'I Am Legend'. The preview didn't show that much in way of characters, but in terms of look and feel: wow. It's got a pretty intense feel to it. Now you can track down that preview in crappy shaky cam on the intarwebs, but I have a much better idea...


You see, there is ANOTHER trailer that just came out too! I don't even know if it's in the theater yet actually. But I tracked it down online and if you are even slightly curious about this movie...watch it. It's un-fafreakin-beleivable. It's quite a change of pace from the Tim Burton 'Joker' or really any Joker that's been on movies or cartoons. This Joker...well, he's not fuckin around. The Joker is done being funny. That's all I'm gonna say. Now for the love of god watch it before they take it offline.

I couldn't let 'em off that easy  
If you're anything like me you love Christmas music! That is as long as the song is full of revenge, murder and serial killing Santas. Wait, is that right? Yeah, that sounds right. Christmas is all about killing people . . . oh and don't forget that Christmas is all about presents and how great getting presents is!

And bunnies.

That give you chocolate.




Oh and in other news, I just finished my first quarter back in school. I'm going for the Game Art and Design degree at the Art Institute. I have a lot to learn still, but at least I have begun the process.

Do any of us actually exist? There's something for you to ponder.

Anyhoo, this post is for those who whined about not having a good group image from the party. So there, I created one.
