Chris Brown's Blog O' Everything

Some Current And Not-So-Current Events

2008-11-30T23:32:00.004-06:00

Well, since I haven't blogged in a good while, I've decided that I should fill in the people who read this on what I've been up to for the past few months.

First, I got a job at Wal-Mart, which is great. Currently I'm doing what is referred to as both "store set" and "day set". We're they people in charged of setting up the store. Once the Wal-Mart I work at is upgraded to a Super Center, I may stay in store set, or I might work in electronics. A picture of my "badge" is below.

I also went out with some buddies one night and got totally pissed. Long story short, I could've died of blood-alcohol poisoning and ruined my parents' camera, which I recently replaced.

The last thing on my laundry-list of stuff I've done is getting new contact lenses. They're great, seeing as I can wear them for an entire month before I have to take them out, although a once-a-week cleaning is recommended.

Anyway, that's what I've been up to. I'm not sure when I'll update again, but it'll hopefully be soon.

Be excellent to each other!

The Past Month

2008-10-06T20:54:00.003-06:00

It's been about a month since I last posted, so I decided to fill the few people who read this on what I've been up to. I went to my first official party this past saturday and it rocked and I've also filled out an application for Wal-Mart, so hopefully I'll actually have some money to spend. That's it, really.

What I've Been Up To

2008-09-09T21:32:00.005-06:00

Ya, although my readership has pretty much gone down the crapper, I'll stubbornly keep at it. Last week was the craziest week of my life. A childhood friend of mine came down for a week and I came away from the whole thing with very mixed feelings. The only terribly disappointing thing is that we have very little in common now. Anyway, I've decided to throw two pictures from the week up: one of her and one of the West Edmonton Mall's Apple Store. I love the Apple Store.

One Year Older

2008-08-04T21:40:00.002-06:00

I'm 19 and have been since August 2nd. Not much has changed since last year, except for the fact that I can now legally consume alcohol in all of the provinces. I've noticed that this past year has been full of nothing, which is great because I'm a slacker. I dig get to see The Dark Knight on my birthday, which was awesome. Anyway, that's about it for now.

Be excellent to each other.

On Blogging

2008-07-10T22:59:00.002-06:00

Well, I know that nobody is gonna read this, but that's okay. All I wanted to say is that the amount of spam comments I used to get was rather amusing. However, after revealing myself not to be the Chris Brown, nobody bothers to come on here. I've also discovered that, while I intended to post new and interesting things, I'm shit at describing what's on my mind. Oh well.

Just A Simple Post

2008-06-06T14:13:00.002-06:00

Well, it turns out that someone actually reads this blog. One person's added me on their friends list, but we haven't actually played anything together. We probably won't for a while, seeing as Ninja Gaiden II is out and owns my soul for the time being. Apart from playing Ninja Gaiden II and waiting for my import copy of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street to arrive, not much else has been going on.

Moved

2008-05-13T09:02:00.003-06:00

It's been a long time since I've posted, so I decided to just for the heck of it. Anyway, I've gotten moved in and only have a few boxes left to unpack, so that's good. Although I haven't gotten out too much yet, I am glad that there's an EB Games nearby, so I plan on dropping in tomorrow. I dunno what I'll do once my cash runs out, though...

Moving And LiveJournal

2008-03-26T15:47:00.003-06:00

Recently, I have started packing, seeing as how I'm moving next month. I've enjoyed Lanigan for 5 years, but it's time to head on. Anyway, in other news, I have started a LiveJournal account, mainly to read this one blog, but to write about non-personal things, such as video games and other nerdy stuff like that. You can check me out at . I'm not sure why you'd want to, though.

Outlook And Contacts

2008-02-24T19:26:00.003-06:00

Well, I'm back from Outlook and I now have contacts. However, since Blogger is a pain in the ass when it comes to posting large amounts of images, I'll just upload one from the end of the hockey game that I went to on friday. Try to find something odd about it, I dare you.

About The Victoria Pictures

2008-02-05T14:18:00.001-06:00

Man, my internet must be terrible. Let's just say that I don't know if I'm ever gonna post those Victoria pictures. Either way, anybody who has me on Facebook can see 'em there. Also, for anyone who wants to add me on Xbox Live, I've adopted a new policy of adding only people who I know personally or play Halo 3 and have a rank of Captain or higher. I just don't want to have too many people on my friends list.

Stuff I'm Up To

2008-01-14T19:21:00.000-06:00

Happy belated New Year everyone. Anyway, I haven't done much recently, but that'll all change soon enough. On Wednesday, I head to Victoria for one week for some semi-personal reasons. I hope it'll be fun and I'll post any pictures I take on my blog when I get back. Anyway, that's about it, so I'll see you all in about a week.

The One-Hundredth Post

2007-12-26T22:43:00.000-06:00

Well, I must say that I have been neglecting to update my blog lately. Anyway, I got a few things for Christmas, such as an HMV gift card, Astro Boy on DVD, and Xbox Live points card and two CDs. I've also been playing Halo 3 far less, as I don't do to well without people that I know. I'll probably just get my kill/death ratio at 200 more kills than deaths and "retire" to "social" matches. Either way, I'm doing good and I want to wish you all a merry Christmas. Oh, and if you add me on Xbox Live, please tell me that you found me by reading my blog. Thanks.

The Past Month

2007-11-30T17:41:00.000-06:00

Well, since I haven't posted in a month, I decided that now would be a good time to do so. Anyway, the past month has been great. Aside from making somebody hate me, everything has been going well. Anyway, I've been playing lots of Halo 3 multiplayer recently. Anyway, if anyone reading this has an Xbox 360, my gamer tag is "flashadams". I could use a few more "friends".

My New Job

2007-10-29T23:24:00.000-06:00

Well, I have a new job. I now work at Blair's Agriculture just outside my town. It's not bad, and I can by more things, such as a wireless network adapter for my Xbox 360 or a computer. Anyway, I just started today, so I don't know what will await me in the future, but it's not bad. In other news, I shall be shaving my beard down to a goatee tomorrow so that I can be the Anti-Chris for Halloween. See, I'll attempt to be smooth and suave, which is the opposite of what I am now. Oh, and my Xbox Live gamertag is "flashadams" if anyone out there wants to play me.

Halo 3 Online

2007-10-24T23:48:00.000-06:00

Well, since I haven't done too much in reality recently except sprain my ankle, this post is dedicated to my most recent fixation: Halo 3. I've beaten the campaign mode, so now I just take on chumps on Xbox Live. If anyone wants to challenge me, my gamertag is "flashadams". Anyway, here are some screenshots of my best moments. The "official" names are listened below the pictures. I'm the red guy that is in the center all of the shots.

"Airborne Antics"

"Jump for Joy"

"Flippin' Good"

My New TV

2007-10-03T23:51:00.000-06:00

Well, this post is about what I've been doing lately. First off, I started volunteering at the breakfast program at the high school. Also, I've purchased an awesome 1080p TV which is only 19 inches wide. It's HD and space saving. Here's a picture of the new setup in my bedroom, which includes the TV, as well as my PS3 and Xbox 360.

Jump In

2007-09-18T00:20:00.000-06:00

Well, I finally purchased an Xbox 360. It's been pretty fun. Except for the fact that I don't have any games for it, that is. Also, I must point out that the PS3 is a superiour home entertainment system, so my 360 is kinda stuck with demos at the moment, since I can use my PS3 for anything entertainment related. But it's still great and I can use MSN on it.

What Would Have Been The Biggest Post Yet

2007-08-17T00:13:00.000-06:00

Well, this post didn't go too well. I uploaded all my photos when I was at my grandmother's house. As she lives in Calgary, her internet is way faster than mine. Anyway, after I finally got all my pics posted, I get home and realize that every picture I had uploaded for this post was gone. Now that I'm home, it'll take forever to upload everything again, so I won't bother. As they say "shit happens".

My Birthday

2007-08-02T09:12:00.000-06:00

Well, today is my eighteenth birthday. Not much is different, though. I still plan on being as immature as usual. At the moment, I am in Calgary so that I can attend my cousin's wedding on the fifth. Once that's over and done with, I will be posting not only the pictures of my first trip to Alberta, but pictures from the Weird Al concert that I went to; pictures from my birthday; pictures from my cousin's wedding; and pictures from the second trip to Alberta which I am on right now. So I will have many pictures to upload and post in the next few days.

Pics From My Life

2007-07-16T13:07:00.000-06:00

Well, it's about time for another post. Today, I'm posting some pictures of things that I've purchased recently. I bought Ninja Gaiden Sigma, which is an awesome video game and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest on Blu-Ray. Below, you will find pictures of everything, including a Blu-Ray/DVD box size comparison. Chris out.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

That Canada Day Stuff

2007-07-02T14:22:00.000-06:00

I'm too lazy to post any videos on YouTube, so I'm just posting my pics from Canada Day. Here they are.

Jansen's "Skydome".

Josh White trying to look cool.

Tiffany Anderson taking a picture of me.

From right to left: Rachelle Bushman, Chantel Fick, Josh White, Trevor German and "Too Tall" Robert Bushman.

Canada Day

2007-07-01T23:48:00.000-06:00

Well, it's Canada Day. My folks and I went to Jansen to see the fireworks. I also annoyed people. Anyway, I best be going. The next post will have tons of pics (and maybe a movie or two) from Canada Day. Talk to all of you later.

Graduation

2007-06-17T01:13:00.000-06:00

Sorry, people, but this is going to be a post that is going all over the place, so bear with me:

I graduated, as of last Friday. I really had a good time, although it left me with a big feeling of "now what?" inside. I'm unsure about what I'm going to do after high school, but I'll figure it out. Besides, I have three more days of school next week. Anyway, my escort for grad was the beautiful and charming Tamara Levesque. I didn't really hang out too much with her during the "dry grad" party afterwards, sadly enough. I got a ride to the party from one Dryden Block and his girlfriend, Stefanie White. I was going to head home when they did, but I never bothered to mention this because I felt that they may have wanted some "alone time" if you catch my drift. Besides, they were probably too busy making out to tell me that they were leaving, so I was there longer than I planned. Not that that's a bad thing, of course. I also was able to call Kim Knause a dirty girl, because she dove into the mud pit and got "attacked from behind". Tee-hee. There was also an astro jump, which was fun. If you wish to know what an astro jump is, do a Google search, 'cause I'm far to lazy to tell you. I also had the chance to play the Nintendo Wii, which was okay. I also one a sweet DVD player in a draw. The food was also good. Oh, and Mrs. Weins was the guest speaker at our grad. She read a Dr. Seuss book to us, which kicked ass and was full of rhymes, huzzah! Anyway, I shall now leave you will some pictures and captions indicating exactly what they're of.

Tamara and I standing on the stage.

Tamara and I strikin' a pose.

That crazy Mrs. Weins.

Josh White and his escort, Chantel Fick.

All the grads on the stage at the school before the supper and ceremonies had occured.

The DVD player that I won at the dry grad.

My Videos

2007-06-11T22:42:00.000-06:00

In the not-too-distant past, I made a music video. It was a three Killzone-related videos edited together and set to a shorter version of the Iron Maiden song "Be Quick or Be Dead". You can find the Google Video and YouTube versions here and here, respectively. Anyway, I just finished another video, set to a shortened version of the Iron Maiden song "The Longest Day". I used the footage from the first 25-or-so minutes of Saving Private Ryan. Both the movie and song are about WWII, so I thought that they'd be the perfect match. Anyway, you should be able to find it on Google Video and YouTube soon. When I get them uploaded, I'll post the links in another blog entry. And that's it for now.

Paintball and Risk

2007-05-31T18:56:00.000-06:00

In the past few days, I've done a good bit of stuff. I went paintballing last friday and we had a Risk club wrap-up and potluck. The following pictures are from paintballing, except for the last one, which is from the Risk potluck. And Jill (you know who you are) had the audacity to join an Ultimate Frisbee League thingy and was not able to be with us. The goof.

School Blogging

2007-05-23T10:13:00.000-06:00

I'm blogging in school once again. A while ago, I was feeling blue, but the wonderful ladies at the Highway Confectionary gave me the Best Ice Cream Ever. Here's a pic that I took of the ice cream that made my year.

Kidnapping

2007-04-17T22:55:00.000-06:00

He he. I was "kidnapped" today. I was walking down the street when about a block away, a white van stopped at an angle by the curb. I walked out onto the street and they intentionally missed me. One Dominic Perry lept out of the van and told me to get in the van because I was being kidnapped. Anyway, the driver, Cameron Green, and Dom dropped me off at my house. It turns out that yesterday, a girl from school, who's name I choose to mention as I cannot spell it, suggested to "kidnap" one Jessica Stewart. It certainly was exciting, as I was pretty much sedated throughout the day up until that point.

Folding@Home, Work and Borat

2007-04-02T21:19:00.000-06:00

Well, it's April again. It's nice that classes run 1-2-3-4-5 again, but it's also my month to work. It's Holy Week, so it means that I have a lot of stuff on my plate. I've joined the Folding@Home project on my PS3 as well, so I'm yet another person who is in on this zany cancer research. Oh, and while I haven't finished it yet, Borat: Cultural Learning For Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is one of the most tense movies that I've ever seen. At any moment all Hell might break loose, but I'm not sure when. Anyway, I better finish up this movie so that my mother can watch it.

Recent News

2007-03-26T18:53:00.000-06:00

I haven't really updated recently so I decided to, well, update. I've purchased MotorStorm and Tony Hawk's Project 8, which are both great games. I'm figuring out what I'm going to do for grad, as well. Maybe a comment from Mrs. Weins could help me out.

PS3!

2007-03-04T22:55:00.000-06:00

I finally got a PS3! I didn't know that I had $800 dollars, though, so I don't have any games for it at the moment. Oh, well. And here's a picture of me with my treasure. I look nerdy, but whatever.

Twelve Minutes of Pure Hell

2007-02-22T17:59:00.000-06:00

In PE, we have a twelve minute run. It blows. And yes, I don't have much to talk about. The days just whisk by, except when I'm at home. I'm also almost done work for this month, so I'll finally be getting a PS3, which will totally own all.

Another Break

2007-02-11T15:32:00.000-06:00

BOOYAH! We're out of school again! This next week will probably consist of working, playing Majora's Mask and trying not to be inimidated by Final Cut Express HD. It's very frightening. I'm also planning on sending a e-mail to Guerrilla Games soon as well as sell my copy of the GBA version of THPS4. One thing that I noticed recently, though, is the fact that I'm finally getting socially comfortable around my peers. It's annoying because I've been with them for four years now and I may be leaving soon. I'm a weird one, all right.

February's Here

2007-02-06T20:35:00.000-06:00

It's February now, so I decided to post again. Second semester is going good so far. It's my month to work again, so a PS3's just around the corner, as well. I've also put the three Legend of Zelda games that I'm playing on hold for now in order to devote time to finishing Phoenix Wright. Oh, and my GBA SP isn't holding a charge so I'm going to send it back soon. At least I can play Castlevania on my DS. I'm also doing more excercise now so that I can be "buff", so to speak.

New Stuff

2007-01-22T17:28:00.000-06:00

Well, I finished my History final today and it was very easy. Tommorrow is my English B final. I'm hoping that it's going to be just as easy since I've actually studied. I really gotta get off of this lazy ass of mine and play some more games. I'm working on six at the moment, but I don't have very much motivation. I'm also going to start writing in my physical journal more, as I need to finish it at least. So yeah, most of my life is on hold for no good reason.

Stagnant

2007-01-17T16:10:00.000-06:00

I haven't done too much recently. I'm planning on selling three of my PS2 games that I never play, and we have finals coming up. I'm also trying to get myself to ask a girl out. And that's about it.

Text Messaging

2007-01-11T20:23:00.000-06:00

Text messaging on cell phones is so cool! And if you were wondering, I haven't done much recently, so this is all that I could think of typing.

Happy New Year

2007-01-02T12:29:00.000-06:00

Ya, I was a bit late getting this post up. Since Christmas, I have purchased a GameBoy Advance SP and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. My main presents were Tony Hawk's Project 8, Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. Oh, and just a few minutes ago, another present arrived: all three seasons of the '60s Batman TV series. I am so stoked now. I can't wait to watch every episode. I suppose it counts as "grey market", though, because FOX owns the TV series, while Warner Bros. owns everything else related to Batman (including DC Comics). Anyway, we got the DVDs of the internet, and somebody poured lots of time into making the DVDs, so I better go watch them.

Merry Christmas

2006-12-25T13:42:00.000-06:00

I'd just like to wish everybody a merry Christmas. I've gotten lots of neat stuff, mainly video games. And since I have two weeks until school starts again, I'll have lots of fun over the break. Hope you have as much fun I am having!

December 21st, 1999

2006-12-21T23:43:00.000-06:00

Ahhh, yes. The day I'll never forget. December 21st, 1999 was the day I was the most sick in my entire life. I'm pretty sure I got food poisoning from the sausage casserole we got as a welcome gift when my family and I moved to Medicine Hat. I was so sick that I couldn't move. Had bowel control, but that was about it. I was a vegetable. And the next day I was perfectly fine! I was not pleased. Anyway, I'm posting this because it's the fifth anniversary of the sickest time of my life. Oh, and my mom's sick today. How bizarre.

School's Almost Out

2006-12-20T16:07:00.000-06:00

School's almost out for winter! Two weeks of laziness and playing video games! There's only two days until school is out, but it starts to grate when you know it's coming so soon. I can't wait!

Why Does Stuff Like This Happen On Friday?

2006-12-15T15:42:00.000-06:00

Man, I hate how stuff that should be resolved within two days of it's occurence happen on Friday. I said "chick" when referring to Canada's lame-ass ex-Prime Minister, Kim Campbell. Anyway, I pissed some girls off, and I would apologize and explain myself if it were not that tommorrow is Saturday. I won't see them 'til Monday, so I don't what to do. I do have an explanation for why I said "chick", however. "Chick" is an informal term for a young woman. Kim Campbell isn't young, but she's a woman. A random one at that. I'd use her name if I could remember it, but since she's notable for being Canada's only female Prime Minister, I can say "that chick", because she's the only one. If we had thirty female Prime Ministers, I'd say "that chick that was only in power for three months". It's like if I killed a person's dog, you would say "Chris Brown killed somebody's dog". If I were a black man in a predominantly white community, and I killed someone's dog, wouldn't you say "that black man killed somebody's dog", instead of "Chris Brown killed somebody's dog"? It's easy to say "that chick" because she's the only female Prime Minister, and I don't like her. If a woman's a "chick", I don't think it's derogatory, unless I am referring to Kim Campbell, because her party sucked and she didn't have time to do anything. I know it's not very fair, but I refer to most men in the same way. Would you prefer "that chick," or would you prefer "that asshat female Prime Minister who didn't get the opportunity to do anything"? Long story short, I'm not being sexist, I just think Kim Campbell was pointless. I wouldn't mind Belinda Stronach as Prime Minister, but she slept with Tie Domi, and I'm unsure that a person who goes on having affairs with people can be a successful, respectable politican. Then again, Jerry Springer did it, and 99% of politicians aren't respectable anyway. Just some food for thought. Speaking of food, I'm going to have to buy some chocolates for the pissed-off girls. Or something of that nature. I don't like being on people's bad sides, because I don't like making people angry, unless I don't like them in the first place.

Stuff That's Been Happening

2006-12-04T20:49:00.000-06:00

It's been a while since my last post, so I may as well say that I got my stitches removed, and that my wound's been healing up well. I actually got the church to myself, so I finally got to clean it. Oh, and since I've been blowing my currently non-existant paychecks, I got a Nintendo DS Lite (my list said GameBoy Advance SP, but I didn't have a proper writing surface, so my dad couldn't read it properly), and Killzone: Liberation. I'm right at the end of it, too. I'm fighting General Metrac as I type. Tuesday's are very busy for me now. My friend's parent's restaraunt is closed Tuesdays now, so I have to find somebody to have lunch with, and bowling and Risk Club are also Tuesdays. Life's been going good, but I'm awfully busy.

Mole Removal

2006-11-22T09:08:00.000-06:00

Since I posted last, I got a mole and five skin tags removed. Where my mole was feels kind of odd since the freezing wore off. I must say, I was pretty brave getting it removed since some of the freezing didn't work the first time, so it hurt getting cut with a scalpel, but I told them just to keep going because I wanted to mole gone. So anyway, I'm going to the city on the twenty-fourth so I will probably get Killzone: Liberation if I haven't metioned it already.

Colds Still Suck

2006-11-16T17:21:00.000-06:00

I won't be able to get a PS3 tommorrow. I have a pesky cold which prevents me from doing so. However, my family and I are going to the city on the 24th, so I may be able to purchase one then.

I Invented A Phrase

2006-11-13T00:57:00.000-06:00

I recently submitted a phrase to Urban Dictionary. Although it isn't up yet, it will be soon. The term is "Fender Ketchup". In other news, I haven't been doing much lately, due to my five-day weekend, but I'm going to a nearby small city for a doctor's appointment, and hopefully will rent Saving Private Ryan again. I've also been playing lots of Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis recently as well.

Lots of Work

2006-11-08T20:10:00.000-06:00

Wow, now I've got lots of stuff to do. I've started two seperate novel studies in English class, so I've put a bunch of other stuff on hold. However, I have a five-day weekend, so that's a good thing. Also, PlayStation 3 comes out on the 17th, so I'm going to the city then to buy one. And that's all I've done recently.

Happy Halloween!

2006-10-31T17:54:00.000-06:00

Halloween is here! Killzone: Liberation is out today, as well, but I won't be getting it for a while. It's currently on my Christmas list, but that is subject to change, given the fact that I have a job now. I don't work in November, however, because I'm sharing duty with another person. I'm going to see if I can convince my parents to buy me a PS3 on November 17th, and then pay them back for most of it in December. The remainder of the cost will be paid back in Febuary, if I can convince my parents to buy me a PS3 right off the bat. I'm also planning ahead, so I'm thinking about my grad hoody colours and who I want as my escort for grad, which will be right before the next semester.

Excellent Evening

2006-10-28T01:28:00.000-06:00

Last evening was awesome. I went to five-pin bowling in a town that's twenty minutes from here. I planned on joining in on a Killzone farewell game that was being set up by a group of people, but I knew that I had to go bowling, and decided that I wouldn't be able to play. However, I got home early and got to play with everyone. I had an excellent time, and I am so happy that I didn't have to miss either bowling or the send-off game.

What I've Been Doing Recently

2006-10-25T16:44:00.000-06:00

Life's been going good recently. I've gotten a job at my church as janitor, which I share with another person; started a piece of fanfiction; and am doing a sequel to a completely insane story that I wrote a while ago now for fun. I'm going to upload my fanfiction to fanfiction.net when I finish typing chapter 1, and upload my completely insane story to fictionpress.com after chapter 1 of my fanfic is uploaded. Anyway, I've been working on a number of things at the moment, and am still having a great time with school. And that's what I've been doing recently.

Lots of Zany Misadventures

2006-10-16T16:59:00.000-06:00

I had many zany misadventures this weekend. I went to an all-nighter in a nearby city and played In The Groove for hours (In The Groove is a dancing game similar to Dance Dance Revolution). There was a very annoying song that I was forced to play over and over, but it was all good. Then I got a Killzone: Liberation demo UMD and when we finally got home, I slept for the rest of saturday, waking up every few hours, only to lay my head back down and go to sleep. Anyway, I had a great weekend and am hoping to get back all of my lost sleep this week.

High-Definition Rocks!

2006-10-10T21:51:00.000-06:00

Today my parents and I purchased a high-definition television. While it's awesome, we don't have any high-definition channels yet, and I don't have the correct cords to display my games in progressive scan. I can't wait until I get my PlayStation 3 so that I can play high-definition games.

The Holy Grail

2006-10-01T00:00:00.000-06:00

After a number of years, I've finally found it. Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis. I spent the entire day travelling around, and at one point I went into a used-game store that I visit every once in a while. I was going there in order to get a lid for my PSP, so that I would have one when my PSP came back from repairs. Anyway, I decided to ask about Operation Genesis, which I thought I would never get, because few copies were made, and it's very hard to find. Anyway, they had it! It made my entire year, aside from King Kong which made my entire year of 2005 as well as 2006 because it came out pretty late in '05.
Anyway, I found it, bought it, and am extremely happy now. The day has taken it's toll on me, so I need some sleep. I'll post again soon.

Feeling Queezy

2006-09-29T19:21:00.000-06:00

I'm feeling very queezy at the moment. I just got new glasses today, so I now see everything in HD. Anyway, these are taking some getting used to, so everything is "swimming" at the moment. It's not very pleasant, but if I can see again, then it's well worth it.

I Like School

2006-09-25T09:35:00.000-06:00

I've really started enjoying school. I've been writing a story that I may submit for Creative Writing, and I'm on my fifth page so far. It's great, since it's just coming off of the top of my head. I wish I had more to write about, but all I've really being doing recently is playing video games, going to school, and lifting weights. That's about it for now, but I'll post a new picture of me and a friend's baby nephew once my scanner starts working properly.

Creative Writing

2006-09-12T17:14:00.000-06:00

So far, Creative Writing is my favorite subject. School hasn't been moving too quickly, which I am happy about. Our Risk Club is starting up again this thursday, so that's something that I can look forward to.

School Isn't Too Bad

2006-09-06T16:35:00.000-06:00

School's been going pretty good recently. I've finished projects on time, and haven't had to worry too much about anything. It's been going very smoothly, and I'm glad that the year is off to a good start.

First Week Of School

2006-09-02T01:20:00.000-06:00

I had a short week this week. It went by way too fast, but whatever. I finished my first week of grade 12, and I've gotten rid of my cold (for the most part). So pretty much everything is going good at the moment.

Colds Suck

2006-08-25T16:07:00.000-06:00

I've had a cold for a good number of days now, but it was fairly mild until only about two to three days ago. At least it gives me lots of time to play my games. I usually have about three game systems going at once, and use the switch box on the top of my TV to cycle through them. The only thing that's really bad is that school is starting next monday. It's unfortunate, really.

Wacky Misadventures

2006-08-16T13:52:00.000-06:00

I'm in Winnipeg, Manitoba at the moment for a youth convention. I'm really excited about it, and I'm pretty sure that I'll have a good time. We had a very eventful day yesterday, but I'll talk more about that later.

My Theme Song Is Back!

2006-08-13T00:22:00.000-06:00

"The Trooper", my blogs official theme song is back! I found another file of it that was hosted on the internet, so it is back for your listening pleasure. Enjoy.

I'm Back!

2006-08-08T21:45:00.000-06:00

I got home around ten o'clock last night, and I've been playing lots of games since then. Sorry that my post is so short, but I don't have much to talk about at the moment. No evil clown list yet, either. Sorry.

I'm Seventeen!

2006-08-02T21:37:00.000-06:00

Yay! Today's my birthday! I got lots of food, a GameCube, Ratchet: Deadlocked, and Jak X: Combat Racing. Yes, every time I get older, I type "younger". The evil clown list will be put up soon.

My Birthday's Tomorrow!

2006-08-01T22:42:00.000-06:00

As of tomorrow, I will be officially seventeen years old. I can't wait to see what my presents will be. And I will be posting the evil clown list soon.

About The Evil Clown List

2006-07-30T16:38:00.000-06:00

I completely forgot to post my evil clown list because of my birthday coming up, but I promise that it'll be up soon. Oh, and since the website that I found my blog's "theme song" on is no longer in commision, I decided that I'll just put on Terrance and Phillip's "Uncle Fucka" on as a placeholder for the time being. And yes, I do know that the song repeats itself a couple of times in the same play-through, but that's just the way the person who recorded it set it up, so you'll just have to deal with it.

WAHOO! MY BIRTHDAY'S RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!

2006-07-30T16:29:00.000-06:00

YAY! As soon as the second of August, which is this coming wednesday, I will be seventeen years old! Now I'll be able to buy "M" rated video games without my parents' help! I'm so stoked about it. I'll be able to get a GameCube with my birthday money! This is great!

Who The Hell Is Benjamin Breeg?

2006-07-28T03:16:00.000-06:00

I want to know who the Hell Benjamin Breeg is. Iron Maiden is releasing a song titled "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg", and a website set up by an "A. Breeg" is asking for information on his/her lost cousin, Benjamin Breeg. It's really freaking me out. Anyway, I really have to get to bed, but I promise that I'll post the Evil Clown List the next time I blog.

Adding Lists

2006-07-27T20:05:00.000-06:00

I was thinking of adding lists of things from popular culture, just to spice up things a little. My first list I'm going to have will be about evil clowns *insert popular Bart Simpson quote here*. It will debut later this week or next week, whenever I have the most time.

He's Here! The Phantom of the Opera!

2006-07-27T00:04:00.000-06:00

I got back from The Phantom of the Opera half an hour ago, and it rocked! It kicked so much ass, that it made even more of my entire year (apart from King Kong, of course). It was well worth the $106.00 that it cost for a single ticket! I know that this is such a short blog post, but it ruled so much, that I can't come up with enough words to describe how awesome it was. Now that it's over, though, my family and I have no schedule, so we can do whatever we feel like for the next near-two weeks! Boo-yah!

Hello, Calgary!

2006-07-25T22:43:00.000-06:00

Hoorah! I am finally in Calgary. It took all day, but my parents and I finally made it. We are going to see Phantom of the Opera tomorrow, so I can't wait. It's good to be back.

Dave's Back!

2006-07-22T14:04:00.000-06:00

YAY! DAVE JAFFE'S BLOGGING AGAIN!!! If you didn't know, Dave Jaffe created the awesome PS2 game, God of War. He stopped blogging a few months ago, but he's back! I'm so happy! Today kicks serious ass!

Next Week

2006-07-18T15:02:00.000-06:00

I'm not sure how much I'll be able to blog next week, because I'm going to Calgary to see relatives, friends, and Phantom of the Opera. My parent's saw it a few years ago in London, England, so when they heard that it was going to be in Calgary, they knew that they had to show me it. Otherwise, nothing much is happening until next week. I think it's going to be pretty cool.

About Summer

2006-07-13T15:39:00.001-06:00

Boy, do I love summer. It's great to get to see all my friends from across the country, as well as travelling all over the place. The only problem is that, when summer comes, clothes magically seem to disappear. Not that it's a bad thing, it's just that I start making less I contact with people of the "fairer" sex. It's like, "Hey, I hadn't noticed those before!" Hey, I needed something to talk about!

The EyeToy: Kinetic Workout

2006-07-11T14:22:00.000-06:00

Wow, is the EyeToy crazy. I purchased EyeToy: Kinetic while I was gone so that, when I got back, I could get in shape. It's one hardcore "game". I mean, they have a warning about not playing if you're pregnant or wacky medical conditions. Anyway, it's a really awesome thing (but you need good light and lots of room, which I have plenty of) and it showed me that I am not fit. I was dying during the warm-up, and I have to follow this zany twelve-week training schedule. Still, it's pretty cool and kicks the pants off of those stupid fitness videos.

Here's Johnny!

2006-07-09T20:50:00.000-06:00

I just got home about twenty minutes ago, and boy am I exhausted. I had a great time chilling at the camp, and going to the Synod Convention (in an undisclosed location, of course). Anyway I'm back, and I'm so happy about it too, because that took what felt like two years to get home (although it was only about one week). Thank God I'm home though, since I missed the Highway Confectionary people so much. I met a whole bunch of great people while I was away, so I came out with something special in the end (special in special ways, and to quote "Recoil", "Are you implying that I'm retarded?"). One of the most memorable things, though, was meeting a girl with the most heavenly singing voice that I've ever heard, as well as hanging out with a bunch of girls all night. Anyway, that's all I have to say, but I'll probably make a new post tommorow, so you don't have to worry.

Grad Is Tonight

2006-06-30T16:21:00.000-06:00

Yes! Grad is finally here! Now I don't have to worry about working at all after tonight. I was in the city yesterday, and I got a badass new Gillette Fusion Power razor. It's crazy how many times razor companies try to one-up each other. Gillette's like "We have a razor with three blades! Suck it, Schick!", then Schick's like "Ya? Well we have three blades, too!". Gillette gets all indignant and says, "Well, we have three blades with power! It's also waterproof and can be used even without batteries!", then Schick's like "Ya? Well we have four blades!", so Gillette goes and says "Ya, well look at our new Fusion! It has five blades, as well as a single precision blade for those hard-to-reach places! Even better, it comes in power and non-power varieties! Oh, and look at how next-gen it looks! We are so much better that you!" I also got an awesome new pen/pencil which is a mechanical pencil, red pen, and black pen all in one. It's really neat. Ya, that's about it for now.

Still More Work To Do

2006-06-28T11:59:00.000-06:00

Hooray! I finished my (final) final exam today! Unfortunately, the grade elevens have to help out with grad on friday. My mom wants me to attend the actual ceremony, but I'm not sure. I'm not going to go anywhere afterwords. The dry grad party is going to be out of town, and my parents aren't supposed to be driving anyone there. Hell, I don't even have a driver's license to go out to where it is even if I wanted to. Most people are probably going to their own party to get hammered, anyway. Even though I know the people there, it's not like I'm really good friends with them or anything, either. I have a lot of thinking to do about grad, all right.

(Final) Final Exam Tomorrow

2006-06-27T02:35:00.000-06:00

Tomorrow is the day that I had my final final exam. It's the Information Processing 20 exam, so I can't wait to get done. I'm not very pleased with the possibility of having to help out with grad, though.

School's Out For Summer (And Has Been For A While)

2006-06-24T15:49:00.000-06:00

School's been out for a while since I last posted. I finished my first final exam (my Computer Science 20 final), and my Information Processing 20 final exam is this coming Wednesday. Yesterday I went to the city, and bought the wicked-awesome Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX for my PSP. I've generally been playing video games and watching movies since school is over for the next two months, approximately. I'm going to be doing loads this summer, as well, but I'll tell you more about that later.

School's (Almost) Out For Summer

2006-06-19T11:19:00.000-06:00

Yes! School's almost out for summer! Today, we started watching the movie version of "To Kill A Mockingbird" in english class. It's been really good so far. The movie is pretty much all that we are doing for the rest of the semester. We only have around two days left, since we are halfway through today almost, and will be playing slow-pitch after lunch on the last day of school. I can't wait 'til school is out, because my parents and I are going to Calgary to see The Phantom of the Opera (and relatives, of course), visiting friends in Medicine Hat, having a friend from the Maritimes visit, and going to the National Youth Convention that is taking place in Winnipeg this year. Boy, is it ever going to be a busy summer!

A Short Post

2006-06-17T16:28:00.000-06:00

I went through Hell this morning trying to set something up. I finally got it working, and then went to bed at 4:10 in the morning. I woke up at 1:10 in the afternoon, and have being playing games, watching TV, and surfing the internet ever since I woke up. I know, this is a fairly useless post, but I needed something to type about, you know?

Fun With Animals

2006-06-15T13:36:00.000-06:00

Today is Formal Day at our school, and I'm fully decked out. Today I thought that it would be fun to post some pictures of animals, so here they are (an explanation will be included under each picture):

This one is a hamster that was supposed to be a meal for the snake, but they became friends instead.

This is one of a cat that scared a bear up two different trees before its owners came and prevented the cat from scaring the bear even more.

This is a picture of "Boomer", a lavender skunk. It's really cool, and it's actually somebody's pet.

The turtle is the surrogate mother and inseperable friend to the hippo, despite approximately 134 years between their ages. The zoo is planning on moving the hippo in with a lady-hippo (wink wink), and they're moving the turtle in with them (the hippo and lady-hippo). I think that the turtle might actually be a tortoise, however.

This is my cat Callie "Cal" Brown, she is a Calico and we bought her in the September of 1994.

This is my other cat, FouFou Oreo "Meowface" Brown (pronounced Foo-Foo). She is a tuxedo cat, and we got her from the SPCA after one of our other cat, Fluffy "Fluff" Brown (a long-haired tabby) died when he was hit by a car. You should note that we generally refer to the cats by their first names or their nicknames.

Boy, What A Day

2006-06-15T00:30:00.000-06:00

Today we had a spirit day at school, because of all the rain that we had this past week, known as "Rainy Day". The problem was, there was no rain today, so that was a few problem. Also, some people (including me), said that we shouldn't dress up like it was going to rain, because the nice weather might take a turn for the worse. It's pouring outside. But I like the rain, so it doesn't make too much of a difference to me. Oh, I just got off one of my favorite new games (which I borrowed off of a friend of mine), EyeToy: Antigrav, or as I like to call it, "The Defaterizer". It's a pretty typical "futuristic" hoverboard game, because it has "extreme" coming out the wazoo. The main difference is that you control the game with your body. The PS2's EyeToy motion tracks your hands and face. It's pretty much like standing on a skateboard, really. You wave your arms to do most tricks, although you jump in mid-jump to do a kickflip and crouch in mid-jump to do a grab. It wears you down, but is still really fun, so I've added as a vital part of my daily exercise (the other part being walking). Yep, a video game can give me more excercise than walking (but you are flailing around like a luntic, leaning, and leaping most of the time, anyway). There, this is my post for the day, and if you're fat and have a PS2, you can get Antigrav with the EyeToy in a bundled package or a stand-alone copy of the game. Here's the box art for it :

Fun With The Punisher

2006-06-13T01:51:00.000-06:00

Wow, it's just like me to blog at almost two in the morning. Anyway, this is one of the funniest pages in a comic book that I have ever seen. It's from the Punisher/Archie crossover that occured in 1994, which I happen to been reading as I type this. Anyway, here's the page:

Batman Rules

2006-06-11T02:06:00.000-06:00

Yet another comic. To keep it short, the comic frame you are about to see can only be summed up into one word: Badass. Here's it is:

That's Quite The Comic

2006-06-11T00:49:00.000-06:00

This comic had me laughing my ass off for more than half an hour. Sorry for me not posting about anything good, but nothing has been going on recently. Anyway, here it is:

My favorite lines are "Miss Gay! Miss Gay! Straighten up, Miss Gay!", and "Your posture is the worst in the entire class, Miss Gay... except BUTCH DYKEMAN'S! Straighten up, Dykeman!" Wow, with all the lines about how the characters should "straighten up", and with names like "Toni Gay", and "Butch Dykeman", there's no way that the homosexual references were unitentional. And the teacher even slaps Butch on the ass, as if all the panels before it weren't successful in displaying the subtle homo-erotic message effectively. What I am saying? It's blatantly obvious. Anyway, that's all I'm posting today.

Even More Comic Fun

2006-06-08T20:48:00.000-06:00

Hahaha! More boners are headed your way! And if all you people who are reading this don't find it somehow funny it a some sort of twisted way, then you're a pretty "stiff" crowd. Here's the pic:

Odd Comic Frame

2006-06-08T02:51:00.000-06:00

I'm busy goofing off on the internet and looking for pictures for a mini-report that I have to do for yearbook class, and I find this comic. I'm must be very tired, 'cause I'm laughing at everything (but it's so much fun!), so I'm going to post the crazy comic panel now:

I know that someone already pointed out that the cakes are clearly pies, but I noticed something else. Lex Luthor in this comic (or wherever it's from) looks more like Vincent Price, if you ask me.
And that's terrible.

My "Sister" Serena

2006-06-07T20:53:00.000-06:00

The picture included in this post is of my "sister" Serena. Obviously she's isn't a "real" sister, because if she was, I wouldn't have quotation marks around the word "sister". Still, she may as well be. When I moved a few years back (not to where I live now, though), and she lived right across the street. Anyway, she was the one who got me in to bowling, went with me for walks to the 7-Eleven for slushes in the summer, and has snowball fights with me in the winter. I also always hogged the PlayStation, and the last time I have seen her, she had boughten an Xbox. She loves The Sims, as well as Stubbs The Zombie: Rebel Without A Pulse. Anyway, I'm hopefully going to see her this summer, and inform her of my blog's existance (she doesn't know about it yet). Anyway, here's the picture of her (sorry for the poor quality, but it was taken with a webcam, after all):

Feeling Better Today

2006-06-06T07:24:00.000-06:00

Aside from another nosebleed, I'm feeling pretty good today. Whatever I had yesterday has passed (even my sore throat that I've had for about a week). I even got up at 6:30 this morning, and went to the local confectionery to get some teriyaki beef jerky and an energy drink to wake me up. Now that I'm bright-eyed and bushy-tailed (or whatever), I'm all ready for the day. Oh, and here's a 100% authentic scan of an old Batman comic (from the Golden Age, I believe). The boners go on for many different panels, and I thought that it was absolutely hilarious, so I just had to post it. Note that "boner" means a blunder or mistake, usually having an amusing effect (no, it's not that kind of boner, you sick monkeys). More or less, the Joker gets a scheme foiled (courtesy of Batman and Robin) and everyone laughs at his mistake, (his "boner"). He then decides to purposely make poor schemes in order to catch Batman in a "boner", in an attempt to make an fool out of him (I could've said "ass", but that'd be too much, with all the "boners" flying about ("too much", get it?). Anyway, after that long, drawn-out explanation, which was packed with phallic (or just plain) inuendo slapping you in the face wherever you turned ("long", "too much", "slapping you in the face" and "boner" for those who just got here), here's the comic, and I hope that you get a good laugh out of it, you warped people:

Ughhh, I Feel Ill

2006-06-05T14:14:00.000-06:00

Ughh, the name says it all. After I woke up, this morning, I've been ill all day. Gee, I wish I could feel better. Well, at least I can get more time to work on homework (if I actually missed any).

I'VE BEEN FOUND OUT!

2006-06-05T10:46:00.001-06:00

OH NO! Now my teachers are commenting on my posts! AGGGH!!! Now they know what I do! This is TERRIBLE!!! Not really. Actually, I knew that they would, so I'm not too worried about it at the moment.

OH SHIT!

2006-06-05T09:16:00.000-06:00

OH SHIT! My parents left last night to do a pastoral installation in Kindersley, so I had to stay home. And what happens? I WAKE UP AT EIGHT TO NINE!!! ARRGGGH!!! This is terrible! I knew that even if I did get dressed and headed out, I wouldn't make it in time. I'm thinking of doing my homework 'til lunch or something, 'cause I don't know what to do.

Fun With Infrared Light

2006-06-04T01:22:00.000-06:00

It's official, the Eyetoy camera for the PS2 has no IR filter built-in. I knew that cheap digital cameras and camera-phones could see IR light because they don't have proper filters. Anyway, it's pretty cool. If you are wondering, IR light looks like white light with a blue "aura" around it, if you will. Really cool.

What I Look Like

2006-06-03T00:47:00.000-06:00

Okay, people. After many posts, you finally get to see what I look like now. Here is the picture of me:

Just kidding. Actually heres what I really look like (sure, I'm making a complete ass out of myself in this picture, but I don't care. It's the only really recent picture of myself that I have, so it'll just have to do.):

I HAD ABS AT ONE TIME!!!

2006-06-01T00:46:00.001-06:00

This is a very sad picture. It brings back many good memories, but I noticed something interesting with it. A little backstory, first. On May 2nd, 1998, my family and I went on a three-week trip to Australia. This picture was taken before we left for home. Just earlier this year, I took a look at these pictures again, and I saw something that I hadn't seen before: abs. It's so sad, 'cause if I had noticed them way back when, then I would have worked on them. I can't attribute my recent discovery to maturing any, though, since I haven't really matured since 1998 (not counting physically). The fact that I just have a keg now is what makes it a sad picture. Anyway, here's the pic, and under it you will find a description of the people from left to right:

From Left To Right: Tall Guy Who's Name I Don't Remember, Jeremy (my older brother), my good ol' tape recorder, Johnathan, Tall Guy's Then-Girlfriend (they got married, I believe), and Me. (Will you get a load of those abs? The chicks could've been all over me like a puck on ice! I could have been quite the ladykiller. Or mabye I'm just jealous of my keg-lessness. Look at me, admiring and eight-year-old! Ah well, I guess that just gives me motivation to excercise more!)

Another Old Picture Already

2006-05-31T16:24:00.000-06:00

Since I'm feeling like such an attention whore today, I'm gonna post another picture of me. This one was taken after I ran in to the South-Pacific Ocean (full clothed except for my shoes and socks, no less). Anyway, the water was wicked salty, and I was itching like mad by the time we got back home (it's technically the place we were staying, but I'll call it home if I want to, okay?). Anywho, here's the picture (it reminds me of the old running guy from Monty Python's Flying Circus, actually):

An Old Picture of Me

2006-05-31T16:17:00.000-06:00

I don't have much to talk about today, so I'm posting a picture. It's from May 1998, when we were at the Planet Hollywood in Sydney, Australia. The suit in the case is the one used by one of the workers in Jurassic Park at the start of the movie. I sure hope it was the one used by the guy who was eaten by the velociraptor (that would be awesome). Anyway, here it is:

A Little Warped Humor

2006-05-31T02:30:00.000-06:00

Some more warped humor that came from Jay Pinkerton's website:

To Quote A Popular Machinima Series...

2006-05-31T01:47:00.000-06:00

..."Bow Chicka Bow Wow."

Charge of the Light Brigade

2006-05-30T23:29:00.000-06:00

If you check the bottom of the sidebar, under the last counter (that shows the total page views), you'll see a little music player. If you click on the music player, you can hear "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden. It's a slick song, so I suggest you listen to it at least once. If you were wondering, yes, it is about the Crimean War (Galipoli and all that). Enjoy.
