Okay... wow.

So i'm sitting here in the UW computer/bookstore, checking out this 17" widescreen iMac... and wow...

this thing would be amazing for watching DVD's... damn you bradbury, cause i know this is the one you are planning to get...

geezus...

and i'm also trying out this new Jaguar... (OS X 10.2) and it really is faster... so far...

of course, its on a super machine... so who knows about my iBook... but still...

i just wanna watch movies on this thing...

who'd have thought... a widescreen on a computer... sweet... uber-sweet.

and i'm really thinking of getting OS X.2 just cause its like fast... and i can actually probably use it to get online at the new apartment complex that i'm living at...

address, for all those that care:

Jeff Paulino
2717 Western Ave #330
Seattle, Wa. 98121

--- now fair warning... i may not have that address right, and i will have to go home later and verify that... but i do believe that it is correct...

i believe so... that doesn't mean i'm a hundred percent sure...

the coolest parts of this new place:

1) 52" TV in a media room with leather couches and chairs... just imagine Smash Bros Melee on that... or any console game... beautiful...

i feel like playing old NES and SNES on it...

which reminds me--i havne't read all the posts lately... but i saw this blurb so i'll tell you: its Zelda: A Link to the Past. that game...godly...Rock the jOe godly!

2) about two blocks from the WaterFront...

james... remember when we came up here to meet BullRabbit... yeah, i was walking around the area that i live now... and i realized... i live really really close to the bar that he took us into before we all got kicked out...

my goal... find that bar... do you remember the name of said bar?

3) no more freshman.

4) okay... hmm...had a four... don't remember four...

Basculez le jOe!

the bad about new place of residence:

living with four other guys...

damnit. oh well... awesomes none the less...

and damnit, i just realized... i want an airport device... cause wireless internet rules all. all.

i have the FLU now. I'm never allowed to leave the house, but I managed to get sick..
ahh.. anyways, these posts got me thinking "oh well I can just play the nintento and playstation".
I decided to investigate what games we have, and we have NONE for nintendo, and only DDR, Final Fantasy 9, & 2 Tony Hawk games for Playstation. so much for that.

It is good to see everyone, yet again - back in the swing of things.

Aaron and Steven going at it again ( again with something I dont care much to jump into on - what is with that? why dont the two of you choose a god-damned topic that I know something about so I can show both of you up? ;b ) - and Jesse casually telling everying to shut up - Bradbury commenting from the sidelines and then out of nowhere Zacho says something that just makes me laugh like a no good :

" Last christmas I Was the board .... so fuck. "

that was great. I mean c'mon - to think the board was even here last christmas still trips me out - On one hand you have that this has stayed around for that long - and on the other hand you have the small thought that " a year or two still isnt that long of a time " - whooo.

Anywho - on to my post :


Football

here it is bitches - at work they play football games and here I was thinking to myself " you know what I want to play? I want to play TECMO FOOTBALL " - because that game was the shit. Anyone saying otherwise obviously never spent their entire summer drinking pepsi, eating doritos, and playing Tecmo with their pal who was lucky enough to own a NES. In fact, the more I think about the more Im going to go out and spend like 300$ on getting a NES and all the old-school games I grew up with. The FIRST final fantasy, the old-school hockey game where you could start fights, the CONTRA series, oh my jesus - and even the MeGa MAN series. NINJA GAIDEN. EXCITE-BIKE. DOUBLE-DRAGON. BLASTER MASTER. METAL-GEAR. BATTLE-TOADS. PAPERBOY. SUPER DODGE BALL. PRO WRESTLING. these are classics. Games that if hadn't been - I would probably remember most of my childhood and all the anal-probing and sex-play that my homoerotic foreign bus-driving next-door neighbor named Phil did to me. ... wait-a-minute.

but then there is the other thing I am almost tempted to spend my money on - and it isnt NES or NES games. But rather, a SNES ( OH MY JESUS HE ADDED AN +S ) - and when I got to thinking about all the awesome games on the SNES all I could think of was Mario Kart ... and I kept thinking. ... and I really didnt get anything else but Mario Kart because I really didnt enjoy the SNES and thought it sucked anyway. HAH. SO FUCK YOU SNES.

I love it when someone mixes a couple of shitty techno songs and suddenly they become a master of music.

Horseshit.

Try playing real music, say, with a symphony orchestra.


I've never met anyone to whom the term "poser" was attached so easily.

I am so sick of that phrase "the pot calling the kettle black"
Anytime someone uses it to close up an argument, it means they ran out of things to say and so they must
somehow make their weak argument seem valid.

I must disagree with one statement you made:
I also think you know jack shit about music
Steve happens to know a fucking lot about music. Hell, sometimes he upstages me with his knowledge.

Napster-- garcon is pronounced "gar-sawn"

I think I do remember that game.....

Ryan Adams. October 29-Tuesday. at the Moore.
I'm there. alone most likely. dammit. but i'm excited!!

In other "dammit" news, I found out that I am not five-feet tall.
I'm 4'11 9/10. bullocks.

I really hate when i'm wrong about things...

well this means i can post "Attaque des Kangourous Tueurs!" -- when i finish it up for French class. I have to email it, or give it to the professor, tomorrow.

What's up with blogger... 5 to 1 it won't post this.

I'm not sure about the terms "waiter" and "waitress", but more than likely that is the case...

it certainly is the case in France... where it used to be the thing to call the waiter "garçon"...

now you will probably get punched or something by the waiter... instead it is now "serveur"...

--i think it is because of the fact that "garçon" is translated to the word "boy"... and means just that... so when you are in a restaurant, and you ask for the waiter...its bad to call him "garçon"...

a useful tidbit to know if you ever go to France, or eat in a French restaurant--there or here...

--hehe, now to go to a restaurant and call for the garçon...

hey, just because i have that knowledge--doesn't mean they all need to be aware that i know it...

Ask -Bradbury- was a valiant attempt that kicked ass for exactly four days.

They have this new waitress at the Chinese restaurant we often eat at. She's from the Czech Republic. Man.....I need to move to eastern Europe. Seriously.

And the term "Waitress." Is that now un-PC? I can never keep on top of what the puritanical assholes that come up with this shit deem to be improper. Should it now be all "Server" instead of "Waiter" and "Waitress?"

Did you just say Rush?

I imagine that jimmy checks this from time to time...

so for jimmy...

hey, sorry i missed your last couple of calls--i'm not used to listening for my cell phone's ring, so if you call and i'm not there, it could be just that i didn't hear it... try waiting for like ten to twenty minutes and trying again.

that will probably work...

also--i'm in class from 2:20 (4:40 for you, i think) to 5:40 (7:40) for you, i think...
so i don't answer the phone, typically.

after this week, that will probably change, but not sure entirely yet of how it will change...

anyway, that's all.

later...

oh, and if anyone wants to help me move on friday night, or can get boxes from james for friday night, that'd be awesome.

laters.

Yeah.....so the only thing I had heard about this was what Napster posted.

and then what James posted.

You know what? That's all I'm going to know, because I really don't care. I'm sure someone will try make it so that I know more.....but I don't care to either way.

You know why I don't care? Bands like Drowning Pool are shit. Plain and simple.

For every Hendrix, you have a dozen Steely Dans. With a Genesis, you get plenty of Boy George. Free with every Cobain, a fair helping of Courtney Love. Guess which of the two categories Drowning Pool falls into.


Onward:

Went to Costco today. They were doing demos like crazy. Discovered the "International Cheeses" booth. Man, is that dangerous. I must have eaten half a pound of various cheeses I can't even pronounce, all in little bitty cubes. Of course, no Costco lunch is complete without rounding things out by going through the various food departments.

Nothing beats a free lunch, one bite-sized serving at a time.


Steven, sorry to bitch out on poker, but I'm going to be a little broke until the first of the month. We're trying to get the Civic put together (with the new motor) by the last import drags of the season, which happens to be two weeks from today, and it isn't exactly a cheap venture. So I'm going to need that 20 bucks for gas and whatnot. Hopefully I'll be able to win a little cash there, but I may be going up against the Civic.....maybe I'll be more consistent....

Its a hoax - this " drowning pool singer dead " thing.
its just a ploy to advertise their tour :

" death by bull sperm " - they're going to prop up his " supposed " corpse on stage and play " bodies "
people will be WOWED when the dead lead-singer actually begins to move and sing :

" ONE - NOTHINGS WRONG WITH ME -
TWO - NOTHINGS WRONG WITH ME -
THREE - NOTHINGS WRONG WITH ME "

and a great time will be had by all.
then again.

if he is dead - I hope they play BODIES at his funeral.
I'd laugh.
so hard, would I laugh.

Yes we need more suicide pacts among shitty fringe-rock group lead singers.

When I was in Cali, I heard about this *PUNK* concert on KROQ...
It has the Distillers, the Sex Pistols, Offspring, Vandals, Social Distortion, Bad Religion, Buzzcocks, Circle Jerks...
etc and so forth..
and Blink182 & New Found Glory.
what the fuck are they doing there? this isn't Warped Tour.
Well, Blink182 can be excused, just barely, but New Found Glory?? oh please. does anyone actually like NFG?

So get this - I have figured out my problem.
I hate people. Just people in general. People I dont know. Hell - sometimes even people I do know.
I hate people who drive slow on the road.
I hate people who are lazy and dont do things that even a half-sentient rock could do if it grew arms and could speak spanish.

and so it goes-

now I have a 1500 ( +? ) computer and it is so sweet Im creaming my pants even while typing this sentence.
this sentence as well.

Sorry for not posting as much lately -
life ( or rather, work ) - just has been catching up to me.

oh my jesus - and jimmoi posts.
and zach posts.

hmmm.
now where is jeff?


there are times in one's life where they have to re-evalutate where they are and where they are going.
their future and past and present all in one big comglamoration ( ? ) of thinking-ness

....

im still waiting for mine to hit.

Chris Isaak :D
I ditched Jimmoi & Zach once so I could watch his show.

So I made a few decisions, and they aren't good decisions. but at least they're mine.
