Spore Cometh

I feel a bit noobish. It's not like I haven't be salavating with anticipation over this game or anything. I can't believe that I didn't order it as soon as it came out. But it's finally on it's way! Hopefully my computer gets here before the game does. Can you imagine the frustration of having one of the most highly anticipated games ever and no computer? I would be reduced to a childlike state in no time. You could probably find me in a dark corner playing with the box, making little creature sounds, taping on evolutionary advances when I think I've earned enough dna points.

IT'S ALIVE!!1!

I just called HP to check the status on my laptop. The very same laptop that I spent nearly $2000 bucks not 6 months ago. For some mysterious reason, one of the hard drives died on me. So after parting with a month and a half worth of my hard earned wages, waiting two months for it to be built and shipped to Frankfurt, and being without it for nearly two months for the repairs, I've just been informed that it should be shipped back to me by next Monday. Just another two weeks after that and I'll be back online! Assuming of course that the internet at the house gets fixed. As I understand it, it's going to take some serious voodoo to make that work. But we'll see. If there is one thing that Marines are good at, it's getting around problems. I'm not sure how I'd get around simply not having a connection, but I'm sure it's nothing a credit card and some orange juice can't fix. ;)

What to post?

I started this thing with loads of stuff to say. Which aparently peatered out in 5 posts... At the recomendation of my girlfriend, I find myself required to post something or suffer the pain of knowing that people wont read my work when I actually have something to say. The only problem is, I don't have anything to say. I suppose if I were the type that could just talk and talk with nothing to actually contribute, I'd be a politician. But seeing as how I'm not a politician and the fate of my blog hangs in the balance, I had better come up with something. Any ideas?

Red Belt

Red Belt is about a struggleing Ju Jitsu instructor that happens to have the worst possible luck EVER. Hung high with impecible morals and a warrior code that is nothing short of the real deal. He's the type of guy that does everything for the right reasons all of the time. Even when he's getting jumped by two dudes in a bar fight, he finds the time to think clearly and not lose his cool.

I love a good martial arts movie. Watching people defy gravity and keep emergency rooms the center of inner city night life with their bare hands is awesome. That's where this one fell short. From the first scene, you know this guy is a bad ass. But through the whole thing there is only really one good scene. I use the term "good" loosly. The camera was more often than not, too close in and focusing on the faces of the fighters. So as a martial arts movie, great message, but it needs more moves.

Back to the horrible luck. Right after the first scene is when it starts to go down hill. It's one thing after another with this guy and he doesn't seem to get a break. He literaly has to fight his way out of the rut just to pay the bills. The whole thing comes to climax and then conclusion seemingly back to back. "Oh shit, it can't get any worse" *FIGHT SCENE* "Oh shit, it doesn't get better than this"

It could have been a bit longer. Maybe throw in scene of the school doing really well right at the end with the teacher instructing a couple dozen students at once. People like that stuff right? I guess that's what you get when the biggest named actor you have on staff is Tim "the tool man" Taylor.
