"It came as no surprise; you brought me back to life"

I miss getting rid of my PS2.

I really really miss playing Guitar Hero, to be more specific. While I'll readily admit, it was nowhere near as fun playing it if I didn't get f*ing stoned off my ass first, I still enjoyed putting on a couple of songs and just goin' nuts. GH3 re-introduced me to Weezer... My Name is Jonas is probably the only song I've ever gotten a near-perfect score on in the entire album of Guitar Hero songs.

While I'm not trying to condone smoking pot at all, I am telling you something right now... it is fucking SWEET to play video games while you're stoned.

But I got rid of my PS2 back in November. I just got sick of it at the time... I'm thinking that when I start making some money again (I plan on getting a p/t job when I start up at MUN), I just may save up for a PS3. I'll do that for a number of reasons... I want to get some Guitar Hero stuff again. It's fun, man. When friends come over, everyone loves that shit.
There's also the case of the new Ghostbusters game.
Yes, I'm willing to spend hundreds of dollars on a system just so I can play one game.
I am a little nuts.

But man, it's Ghostbusters. Come on now. From what I've gathered, this is the closest thing I'll get to seeing a new Ghostbusters movie, and it's been twenty years since GBII. So I mean, the choice is logical.

And yes, I have a screwey sense of logic. If you haven't figured that out by now, then you're not paying attention to anything I've ever said.

Still thinking about the Jesus Claus idea. I've been doing some more research, and there's more to this idea that I had originally thought. I really think I could do well with this.
Also, if anyone ends up stealing my idea, I'm gonna choke 'em with my bare hands. I think this idea has merit.... And like I said, I don't know if it's gonna be funny, or have serious overtones. But I do plan on writing a book about it. I will.
I'm gonna set a goal, too. You heard it first. Watch out for it within five years. Jesus Claus. You heard it here first.

No, I'm not high. It's been nearly a month since I touched pot.


Y'know what I haven't done in awhile?

Posted some random thoughts.

The only thing that keeps popping in my head at random intervals, however, is that I think it's weird to see people writing with their right hands. I've always been left-handed, so I guess that just seems normal to me.
Us left-handed people are a rare bunch.

Just think about all the left-handers you know, and look at how they roll. Pay attention to the kinds of things they say, and how they deal with people in general. We're just different. We really are.


What now... I'm listening to Green Day again. It's my understanding they're coming out with a new album in May. I am very very very excited about this... obviously. They've been my favorite band since the very first time I saw "Basket Case" on Much Music. I don't know if there's ever been a group that's impacted me as deeply as they have. Sure, you may think I'm a retard for making such a statement, because I know Green Day doesn't exactly get a lot of respect.
But I happen to think they're a fucking awesome band. They've influenced me more than I could possibly put into words, and one of my goals is to see them in concert before they give it up for good. Watching clips on YouTube isn't good enough.
I'd give my nuts to see them in concert, man. I really would. I'd give up my ability to procreate to see Green Day in concert.
Umm... .well, I don't think I'd go that far... But maybe you get the idea.


Speaking of procreation, I got some fan-goddam-tastic news yesterday. My sister is having a baby girl! Her and Mark haven't picked out any names yet, because she only had the ultrasound yesterday. Heidi's about 21 weeks along, and as far as they can tell, everything is comin' up roses.
To say I'm excited would be the understatement of the year. The little princess will be born in late July... I can't remember the exact birthdate, but it's about two or three weeks away from my birthday. So that means she'll be a little Leo.
When I say my heart jumps a little bit at the fact that my little sister is going to have a little girl of her own, I do not exaggerate. I look forward to holding the little girl, moreso than I've ever looked forward to any event in my entire life. The moment I found out Heidi was preggo in the first place was a defining moment in my life. That's pretty much what brought me to the decision to change my life for the better.

It's been a slow process, as I've said a million times before in these blogs, but man, the journey thus far has been well worth it.

2009 is MY year. I'm gonna shine brighter than any star you've ever seen in the night sky.
