Counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor...Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.

I don't know why I'm even bothering posting on this.  I'll end up posting for about a week then spend another 5 months not, but oh well.

So I'm getting an apartment next week, well, hopefully.  I applied and filled out all the paper work, now all they have to do is search for all my dark secret criminal records (there's alot of em).

I've also started working out...again.  Hopefully this will last longer than my month of swimming in the summer did...  .  Basically I have a 4 month running plan laid out and if I don't make it to the end something's gonna die.  So if any of you non-runners out there want to spend 17 weeks in hell with me, lemme know.

On a another note, I'm probably gonna join the marines in october but at the moment all of 3 people know it...basically it all depends on how easy it is to get into shape for it.

http://stupidevilbastard.com/ a person here said the following, something to which I agree, and have been hard pressed to bring my thoughts to words as true as these:

"It’s certainly been my experience that a lot of folks who try to convert me take the approach that my atheism is a result of my buying into the “lies of science” when the real reasons are largely philosophical. Science was never the catalyst for my disbelief and I don’t know of many atheists who feel that it was for them either. A lot of believers seem to have a hard time with the idea that someone else could take a philosophical look at their beliefs and come away with the conclusion that they’re hogwash and even when you tell them that’s the case many will still try to insist that science is to blame for our disbelief while others will then assume that there must have been something in our past that made us hate God.

I’m also interested to see how much the series goes into the American Founding Father’s beliefs. If you spend any amount of time reading the writings of many of our earliest leaders you can’t help but realize they’d be unelectable in a modern Presidential campaign. Jefferson would likely never had made it past the primaries and John Adams would have been flogged alive by the Christian Conservatives as being an intolerant anti-Christian bigot."

yeah, so I voted.  Wooo.  Too bad my candidate is gonna lose and we're all going to be doomed to a hell that I'm not entirely certain exists.  Go me.


ah, so, to my non existant readers, I have returned.  Some interesting things i have heard lately:

I wonder if when little kids are in class, and they're singing that song "Who Stole the Cookies From the Cookie Jar?" if everyone suspuciously looks at the black kid.

Sometimes when im eating pie im thinking maaan this is really good.  And sometimes when im having sex im thinking maaan this is really expensive

Sometimes I eat food while taking a shit. I don't think this is a bad thing but others have told me that it is. WTF? Why waste time sitting on the pot? Grab yourself a sandwich.

So I bought DOOM3 today.  Great game so far.

Spookiness 9/10 - Freaky game.  Its really intense.  Power goes off alot so there is alot of time spent in near pitch black area's

Graphics 10/10 -  Simply amazing.  On High Quality its almost beyond superb.  Haven't Tested the ULTRA quality yet, but it's gotta be better than high.

Plot 7/10 - Unlike doom and doom2, doom3 actually has a plot.  Its still a FPS but there is actually a story to go along with all the killing.

Content 9/10 - Weapons are sweet as hell.  Controls are just like all other fps.  Lacking in the jump-crouch that was my favorite from half-life.  The environments are amazing as well.  Beautifully crafted levels with great detail.  Ceiling tiles and floor tiles blown, panels blown off walls with circuits (sp?) sparking, impaled bodies on the ceiling, blood streaks.  When the player gets hit boy does it mess up your aim.  You're crosshair goes all over the place

Ai 10/10 - Part of this is content but meh.  When behind security glass the really tall monsters that crawl on walls and ceilings and floor will suddenly lung and cling to the windo in front of you then scury up the wall into the ceiling, or when you're down under the floor with grating above you monsters will jump onto the grating just above you and howl at you and then take off to try and find a way down.  The crawly monsters will do anything to dodge your shooting.  They'll crawl all over the place, they're VERY fast, when they crawl on the floor their profile is no more than a foot and a half tall.

Overall 9/10 - great game so far and i'm only an hour and a half into it.  At this point it is a little predictable, when the lights go completely off, there will be monsters coming, almost always from behind you and at least one other direction.  Still intense though.  (So I cheated for about 5 minutes to get the taste of the weapons and my favorite is the plasma rifle and your good old generic Torch Flashlight to smack shit over the head with.
