Into The Wild

Over the weekend I went camping in San Bernadino with my church family. It was a great experience. Reminds me of camping with my parents when I was younger but with people I actually get along with. Even though much of the forest around us was burnt down, it still showed me how beautiful God's creation is. Not only in the nature surrounding me but also in the people surrounding me. I couldn't ask for better friends.

We went squirrel hunting (don't judge me I didn't attempt any kills) and got to see a lot of nature. Off in the distance there was this rock formation on this mountainside that looked like a temple. We were going to go there but didn't really have the time too. It would have required us to miss a meal and other things. We also saw a rock that looked like Pride Rock (and Matt and Wred sat on it and scared the bejesus outta me seeing as it was propped up against a smaller rock) and a rock that looked very dirty. Living in a cabin in the wilderness would be so awesome but at the same time, probably uncomfortable. Little to no resources except from nature itself. But in that uncomfortableness I know I would be closer to God which would be awesome.

I got back yesterday and went to Disneyland with Brittany and her friend Elizabeth. She told me about Tokyo Disney and how they hire white people to play the characters and pay for their flight, living, and food. Plus a hefty amount per week. I think I want to do it in the near future. I tried looking it up but all I could find was audition dates at certain places. Auditions are scary. Especially Disney auditions. But who knows, we'll see what the future holds.

Ocarina of Rhyme

So a few days ago I started to break out my Nintendo 64 and play not only my favorite game but what I (and most gamers) consider the greatest game ever created. Of course I am talking about Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The game is groundbreaking in every sense of the word changing everything we knew about video games and blowing us away. I didn't get into the whole Zelda fad until I was younger and bought Link's Awakening on the Game Boy. My friend had Ocarina and I played it on my Nintendo 64 (which I actually won in that Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut "Defeat the Darkside" contest from when Star Wars Episode 1 came out). That game changed my life. Lets just say I would like the things I like (vikings, medieval, swords, anything else epic) if it weren't for that game. I wouldn't want to be an archaeologist if it werent for that game. I would still be listening to shitty American metal if it weren't for that game. And years and many Zelda games later it still holds the title of being the best (regardless of what Cory thinks). Link (the protagonist) is my all time favorite hero of...well...all time. So much that I dressed up as him at Anime Expo.


Ignore the boots. Moving on. I'd have to say my favorite thing about the game...is....well...its so amazing I can't pick anything out in specific. It's so perfect. The only thing that irks me is that the Water Temple is a pain in the ass to get through. Mother fu--....but yeah the tunes are catchy, its very adventurous, the hero is a badass (you play him as both a 9 year old kid and a 16 year old...man). You can get different weapons and tools and use them to solve puzzles and be epic. I like taking the hookshot and jumping from roof to roof in Kakariko Village. I feel like Spiderman. But much less gay. I plan on getting another costume soon (Frank lost mine) and making it much more elaborate. What can I say, I love that game that much. I might get a tattoo from it and it will be the only tattoo I would ever get that might be irrelevent in years to come. But then again it could be still. I just wish I was a top hollywood director because I would buy the rights and make the best effing Zelda movie that anyone could imagine. More epic than Lord of the Rings. Yes that epic. This picture shows just how epic this game is.

Update? Indeed.

So it's been a few weeks since my last post. Now you will get an update. Though I doubt you actually care haha. I started work at Target finally and last night was my first shift. I trained with a cash register doing these weird training exercises with it. Kinda tedious and unexciting but whatever. I guess I'm going to be ghosting a cashier tomorrow and working in the electronics area for the rest of the week. Woo!

Anyways I'm really stoked for next month. So much is going down. For one I have two concerts. One of which is Edguy and the other being Sonata Arctica. Then Ensiferum's new cd is coming up. Also at the end of the month I'm going to be taking Danish lessons (though on the website it looks like the calendar was for last year so its pending). If that goes through I'm excited because I've been meaning to somehow get lessons. They have em at a Danish Lutheran Church in Yorba Linda. Next month is going to be bomb!
