Election Day Blues

I don't really know why I'm blogging, but for some reason listening to that new Muse album makes me want to blog.. either that or join the space marines.. and fuck some alien shit up.... speaking of that.. well.. ok... lets start from the begining.. the last couple of months have been fucking crazy.. like sTOOPid crazy. busy... anyway.. went a couple o' weeks ago to the Astrokitty halloween thing and started my trip off by taking the train.. yeah.. the train.. I live in Ks, and there is a fucking train.. go figure.. most people here only drive cars.. but if you.. get this.. drive a care to Newton.. (about 30 min north of our house).. you can hop a train (amtrak) and get a one way ticket to Lawrence for $26.. not too shabby.. seeing as it would cost me twice that in gas to drive "THE BEAST".. Anyway.. the train ride was uneventful.. 'cept for all the poop running through my mind.. for some reason it felt really cool to ride the train. I kinda felt free.. like I could keep riding.. go to Chicago.. hop another train and make my way east.. and just keep going.. granted.. I'd miss my Wife, and family and friends.. but how cool would that be to just take a month.. and ride the train to where ever the fuck it took you... granted that would be quite a bit easier in Europe, but it'd still be cool in the US.. theres plenty of cool shit to see here.. and most of them don't hate you just because you're American... they have many other reasons.. but still.. anyway.. keep in mind this all happend at about 4 in the morning.. after the train was an hour late.. so anyway..

Met this cool older couple who rode the train from LA to Lawrence.. (they were originally from Alaska.).. and yeah.. Met up with Joel and Erin.. although not after standing outside the Lawrence train station looking like a Gay hooker.. "hey buddy.. $20 for a blow.. ".. or would that be Man of the evening.. whatever..

Went to their abode.. crashed for a bit then went to a Comic Convention in KC.. in the worst fucking place in the world.. It was like a business park in the middle of a train yard.. shit you not... anyway.. Ed Brubaker was there along with a bunch of cool artists.. Chris Samnee was there, got a kick arse John Constantine from him.. for $5 less than he was asking for.. since I ran out of money buying cheap "Hawaiian Dick" trades and other shit.. I always seem to buy stuff from artist ally that I don't really want.. or that I don't really want after the fact.. I dunno.. I feel bad.. here these guys are working their arses off for our a piece of the comic pie.. and just because they don't draw superheros no one pay attention.. sad sad.. but whatever..

anyway.. I owe that Chris Samnee kid a drink the next time I see him..

Jesus.. I just referred to someone as a kid.. who is probably my age.. fuck me..

Anyway.. had a good time.. I really like coming up and visiting Erin and Joel... I know Joel and I can be bitchy with each other.. but we weren't too bad this weekend.. and sometimes.. even the bitchynes is nice. They are nice kids.. they'll be good together..

Annyways.. Went to the Halloween party afterwards.. had a good time.. Wished Em was with me.. but what you going to do.. I took an arse ton of pictures.. some turned out pretty cool.. some like ass.. but what you going to do.. I'm still getting used to that new camera.. and pine for a DSLR.. maybe someday.. when I stop buying fucking videogame systems...

I spent the next week formatting that shit for the Web.. Craziness..

Went to Zacheria's wedding the following day.. and it was good.. nice place.. finally got to meet his wife.. and shes pretty cool.. I've got an arse ton of photos from that also, but have yet to f with putting them up.... anyway.....

and to think.. I started off this post with the intention of talking about how bad I wanted to buy Gears of War today.. but was stopped at every corner by the man..

oh.. and I did vote.. but I was surly about it.. since I didn't have GoW to play when I got done.. so some of you f'ers on the ballot didn't get your fair shake.. but fuck ya.. you're politicians or judges anyway.. anyway..

First post.. and mii stuff

Ok, so I was one of the chromosomally challenged nerds that got up early on friday to score a Pre-order for the wii from the local gamestop (oh.. and i'm not going to fuck with grammer or spelling so you english nazis out there have a field day.. ).. and actually had a blast.. slowly but surely I'm discovering this side of my personality that is quite a bit like my mother.. Its a loong story.. for those of you who know me.. you know the score.. and actually you're prolly the only people reading this anyway.. but.. Mom is talkie.. friendly.. talks to random people while waiting in line anywhere.. she'd prolly make friends on her way to the electric chair.. dad.. is opposite.. and I'm kinda more like him in most ways.. hate going out in public.. try to do it, cause I don't really want to be all shut in.. and don't want it to stop me from having fun.. anyway.. .. where am I going with this.. oh yeah..

so a couple of weeks ago.. me n' Tiberius and Muff went to Lebowski Fest.. first time for all of us.. and we had a blast... and drank.. pretty much for 2 days straight.. I'm not a drinker normally.. I'm pretty straight laced.. but this time I just went fn' crazy.. not puking crazy.. but pretty crazy for me.. anyway.. and in doing so.. I became mr social butterfly man.. started talking to anyone and everyone.. in fact.. on the last night, I started to dance.. yeah.. all ###lbs of me dancing.. f'n crazy.. and you know.. I had a blast.. dancing with pretty much any one that would dance with me.. by the end of the evening.. I had all kinds of dancing friends.. in fact.. I think one may have been a hairy bear type.. .. which brings up another story for another post.. anyway.. back to the Wii thing..

So there there I was with Tiberius waiting in line to get a Pre-order for a Wii.. which is even nerdier than actually waiting in line for the Wii itself.. but whatever.. Me n' T were #s 6-7 in the Wii line.. with some QT kid we met being #8. Lucky for us there 8 preorders. So we got there around 8:45 or so (Gamestop..opened @ 10), and just basically shot the poop with our gaming bretheren.. I should say I shot the poop with them.. T was kinda quiet.. anyway.. so I'm all making friends in line for a wii pre-order.. friends is a strong word.. but you know.. friends of the moment... anyway.. most of the doofs in line were like me n' Tiberius.. playing hooky @ work.. and really too old to be waiting in line for a game system.. Then there was this mom and her 2 kids.. one a freshman in HS and the other a Senior.. and they both played stringed instruments.. Viola and Cello or some shit... to think.. there are people in Wichita that actually play instruments that aren't a piano.. or guitar.. who'da thunk... maybe there is some culture here after all.

anyway.. I ended up trading in a arseton of games, (which again is for another post..since trading games to GS or EB is Fucking Stupid.... but what the hell.. it's $50 I didn't have to pay.. and I bought most of the games from Gamefly.. and actually I think I got more for one of the games than I paid for it.. ), so my pre-order only cost me $1.74.. for a Wii and the new Zelda game... ..

and I'll be there on the Midnight of the 19th.. rockin.. then three day work week.. and thanksgiving.. WOO yay for me..

Now if my defective sperm would just get my wife preggers.. life would be good..
