Writers block pt 1

Whoa. Three days in a row maybe? Sure. Why not. Let’s see how long we can keep updating until one of us loses interest~

Ergh…. Not really sure what to do… I mean, I could do the smurfs movie, but I’d need another week just to consider even watching that trailer again.

Yeah. Not again. And I need to ask this: what does a blue sphinx even have to do with smurfs?


Now. What the hell should I do?

Oh. That’s right. Video games. Those exist right?

Well. It’s been a rather good year for video games, with each system receiving a lot of love, which is pretty cool. No matter which console you had, there was always something to play this year. Unlike a year ago.

Coincidentally. I love E3.

Right well, moving on.

Yknow what, fuck it. Can’t think of a decent segue. Donkey kong country returns. It’s… fun.

fun

Yeah. It’s pretty fun.

Ok yknow what, I’m not being paid to do this. Maybe next week

back to my sweet love.

My new job: McDonald's

When people ask me what I do, I tell them I kill people for a living. When they ask what I mean, I simply say "I work at McDonald's." Seriously, people truly push the limits of how unhealthy they can make a trip to McDonald's. It's always fun to watch a large person buy a huge bag of food and wondering how many meals belong to them.

My favorite part of this, though, is the portion of people who order large, unhealthy meals with diet drinks. Large diet drinks, of course. What the fuck is that shit?

There's not much else to say about that. McDonald's is all you would expect it to be as a job, if you haven't worked there before. In the end, I just work so I can smoke weed so I can sleep so I can work. So fuck it.

Not an entirely successful first week

I'm glad that The HelpeR's post was good enough to make up for a few missed days. It seems as though this wasn't the best week to start off. Let's hope the next few weeks will allow us to get adjusted to the schedule and work out our own personal posting styles.

But enough about that.

Apologies to not posting yesterday, but I figure that since Ballister went home for Thanksgiving and doesn't have internet access, that I can go ahead and use that to post today instead. So how is everyone?

...Please, one at a time.

Right.

So it's been a busy and fun couple of months here at college. I've met a few good people, and a few dumbasses, but overall it's been great. I've learned a few things and begun perfecting things I already knew how to do.

Sadly enough I've started playing mind-numbing MMORPGs again. Yeah, World of Warcraft is the main one. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm excited about Cataclysm. I also finally got a character to the level cap (80 for now), so I can experience end-game events now. However, I get this feeling that soon enough, I'll be bored with it, yet continue playing due to pure addiction.

Now why would I ever feel that? People don't get addicted to MMOs! NEVER!

Feel free to shoot me now.

I dunno, I'll figure it out. Sorry for the partially unprepared, half-ass post. I'll work on figuring out my personal style of posting soon enough. Until then, enjoy the other posts!

This post is going to be turrible, just turrible(out of my ass).

Let's cover some topics!

Caffeine+alcohol drinks getting banned: Seems like a pretty good idea, because we don't need hyped up idiots drunk out of their mind doing extreme sports or whatever kids use caffeine for these days. However, banning things because they're bad for people is dumb. I don't see them banning other alcohols, or cigarettes, or cheeseburgers, or anything else remotely unhealthy.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is coming out soon! Gonna punch so many things in the face you guys won't even know how to DEAL with it.

That school I go to: Done with all of my labs for this degree. This is good because I don't have to wake up stupid early and rip my face open by shaving for a majority of the week. This is bad because I don't get to have good times and make foods.

I'll probably have a legit post next week about the Pack to Power progress that I mentioned a little while back, instead of this.

Hollywood fucking sucks. pt 2

So... last time I spoke about the adaptation of cartoons.

Well, that was quite a while ago, so I guess let's get started at what I promised last time: Scooby Doo.

Well... to be quite honestly, scooby doo hasnt been that bad lately. Scooby has actually been quite nice, with that new cartoon series recently having come out, it's actually tried some new things. so i'll give them a pass for now.

...

At least till they fuck up

...

Which, with the direction hannah barbera is going... will likely be soon. OR right now.

YOGI FUCKING BEAR.

So who walked into a producer's office, said: 'ok, we need more money. What old IP can we use for a new movie for all the little kids?'

'Eh.. I dunno... The jetsons?'

'Nah, let's save that for a few years down the line'

'Oh! I know, how about yogi bear. Yeah.. let’s do a CGI yogi bear. The kids will eat it up, I mean, it’s yogi!’

‘Yeah. That sounds good, and the adults will come for the nostalgia’

‘….’

‘Alright, sorry. Stupid idea.’

‘it’s fine, but yknow who would be perfect for the part of ranger smith? That guy from scrubs.’

‘you mean zach braff?’

‘No! not zach braff… the guy who played his brother in the series’

‘You mean Tom cavanagh?’

‘Yeah.’

‘I gotta admit…. HE’S PERFECT!’

Perfect.

Okay, okay, maybe that isn’t such a realistic situation, and yknow, ranger smith is a rather important role, and maybe tom cavanagh will do something good with it. He’s not a bad actor, it’s just that out of all the actors… I’m not really sure I would have cast him for the role. But okay, it’s fine, maybe the CGI will be top notch, and it’ll be like they are really in the woods or something.

…Ok… scratch that. Not the ugliest CGI I guess… but look at those eyes.

God… boo boo’s eyes just look absolutely soulless.

Okay, yknow what? I can totally ignore the fact that boo boo looks like he just witnessed a murder, and he’s trying to hide it in his little bear soul. Well… maybe the voice actors will be good. You can usually completely ignore a lot of faults in a production if the actors can completely sell it. Afterall, a really good actor can always bring a production up and help it succeed. Yeah! Maybe the actors for this movie will be really awesome and

…. Yeah… I’m done.

Put your good foot forward!

Yeah so it's me! It's Ballister.
Since I am the one who is entrusted with being the inaugural entry for our blogspace fun times, I will make it as the kids like to say: "A Goodie". 

Well, I really could only think of one good thing to blog about today while I was at work. 
It seems there is a persona that I just can't quite escape.
It doesn't matter where I might go, or what I might particularly be doing at the time: I always just happen to assume the position as... "The Dunce" at times.
Using my current job as a recent example: I get joked upon by... everyone! Even the freaking new hires that just started like two days ago, I get joked on.
I can understand it, given my current position as "The Intern", as this being part of my role, but it's gotten to the point where my Chef and his two stooges treat me like a fucking idiot for no damn reason at all.
I really want to change this pathology that follows me.  I want to be the type of person who has the answers, who can actually argue with the higher ups, and the Chef's and they take them seriously. 
All I hear at work are stories of all the past interns and workers who were there before me, about their "legacy" if you would, and how amazing they happened to be

I don't even think my coworkers even take me seriously over half the time, and it bothers the fuck out of me!

I get treated like I'm one of the regulars who just doesn't give a fuck.  I'm so damn stressed out by caring about this damn job, that I'm counting down the days until I'm no longer forced to work there, just so I can sleep an entire night soundly.  Ever since I woke up late for work a few weeks back. I was supposed to cover a breakfast with one of my sous chefs at 6:30 in the morning, I woke up at 6:20, and there is no way I could make it anywhere near my work in time.  I ended up getting to work at 7, and caught so much grief and hell for being late that one time; it caused me to almost develop a complex of sorts.  Now when I go to sleep, and I know I have to be awake at a particular time, I will wake up... 15, 16, 20 times a night.  Be it hour, twenty minute, 5 minute, or even like thirty second intervals.... it drives me fucking crazy.  I wake up in the morning almost as tired as I was before I even got into my bed.  Only a few days left, I really hope things will turn around for the better.  I can finally work on a social life, I get to go to labs again, and maybe; just maybe, find one of those attractive females that I've been attempting to talk to recently then create a little magic.

New Topic!
- WoW Progress -
Just recently, I moved my Rogue to Burning Blade so I can now hang out in game with 2 of my fellow posters, and possibly gank on a regular basis, a poster who shall remain un-named's noob ass. Yeah, I mean you Lobo!
Druid on Drak'thul is sitting at a decent 32, my priest is DoA when I moved to Drak'thul, such a low population server, it's almost impossible to do anything fun.
I took a recently look at some of the starting zone content that they are adding to WoW when Cataclysm goes live: They are adding some pretty epic aspects to the questing world. 
Fellow NPC's that follow you around, moving at your speed, and fighting along side you (Being useful!!!)
One new quest: You kill mother raptors, gather up their babies, and the babies will jump out of no where and help you kill these mobs that are alot higher level than you, for a quest.
Alot of crazy new things

Next topic!
-Katsucon Plans-
So yeah, We are all going to Katsucon this year, I don't give a fuck what it requires us doing: a hundred beer runs each; rebuilding people's computers, I don't care! We will get the money, we will construct some pretty Badass cosplay outfits, and we will go! End of Story!

I may add a 2ndary part to this post, as I am going to Ren Faire today with Jordan, and a few others! Looks to be fun; I hope to stumble upon a gorgeous red head eating a turkey leg. -shwing-
Hope you enjoyed reading, I intend to have a very interesting blog to follow.
