Conola!

So I have been spending the last couple of days playing The Sims 3 on Cory's Macbook. The past few days Cory, Ricky and I have gathered and played it together. Even though there are Sim haters out there, I think it's an amazing game. I mean there's no way to beat it so I can genuinely want to play it rather than play it just to get it over with.

Even though its a game and all that, it does inspire me to do things. Its kind of sad when your Sim accomplishes more in a few days than I have in my whole life. It really makes me want to go out there and do more with my existence. And not for any materialistic reasons but because I know I'm meant for something greater. Its kind of weird that a video game can give you this kind of realization. I mean I'm aware that doing stuff in the Sims is a lot easier than in real life but really it just shows me how lazy I am. Maybe I should stop playing the Sims haha.

The best band ever (in my opinion)

So I was hanging out with a few friends a couple of days ago and we started quizzing each other on ourselves. I asked them what my favorite band was. No one had the answer. So I'm going to take the next few minutes to school you on them.

For those of you who don't know who my favorite band is, they are a power metal/hard rock band from Germany by the name of Edguy [not Viking metal from Norway cough cough :)]. So anyways I'm going to compose a top 5 list of what I love about this band:

1. Tobias Sammet: Definitely my favorite singer of all time. This guy can pretty much hit any note he wants. Not only that but he is the most hilarious human in existence and incorporates it into their music and live shows. Plus he is super creative.
2. Diversity: Whatever mood I'm in Edguy has got me covered. If I want to laugh, they have humor. If I am feeling down they have songs that I can relate to on a personal level. Their music comes in all shapes and sizes: funny, happy, sad, angry pretty much any mood that can be portrayed.
3. Guitars: They have some pretty awesome guitar work. By no means is it shredtastic(the spellcheck claims thats an actual word) like Children of Bodom but that doesn't stop them from writing fantastic stuff.
4. Live Show: They put on one of the best shows on the planet. Not only are their stage presence nearly unmatched but the songs are nearly dead on. I love going to a show and getting to laugh through most of it.
5. Avantasia: Okay this isn't really a part of Edguy but I'm counting it. What Avantasia is is Tobias Sammet's side project in which he makes concept albums with multiple power metal singers and musicians. Each singer sings a different character in the story and speaking of which, the stories are pretty deep. Plus the album The Scarecrow is my favorite album of all time.

So now you know. I mean don't expect to go listen to them and like them because they are a very selective taste. Some might find his vocals not to their liking (by means of how they sound not how well he sings). But if you do find them to your liking be sure to let me know and maybe I'll be nice and give you some of their cds. I have a few of their songs on my music player below. I also have some Avantasia which some of it is a little more mellow than the Edguy I have up.

I love that people enjoy my blog

So I am going to turn the volume up to 11. But not really. I cut my hair today and I'm looking puuurty goood. Most importantly I will now use less shampoo and it won't annoy me as much (like when I'm eating).

So yesterday I went to Disneyland with my friends Alex and Celia. It was a lot of fun. Except I got really hungry and got extreme back pains. Then we went to Chris' apartment and we all went hot tubbin' and did Weeds trivia (I got two right even though I don't watch the show). We were all there until about 4 in the morning and I went to sleep around 5:30. Sucky thing was, my body was so fixated on waking up at 9 for some reason. But somehow I fell back asleep and woke up at 11ish. Nice.

Today I went to Disneyland AGAIN with Alex and Celia with the (awesome) addition of my friend Rachel. We didn't go on anything and left within like 30-60 minutes. So now I'm home. My back still hurts and so does a many other things. It sucks. But it s'okay.


SHRED CHRISTOPHER LEE!!! SHRREEEEEEEEED! With a hint of sea salt ice cream

Are you there?

So tonight I was feeling a little down. Heck it's been like that a lot lately. It didn't help that I was sort of struggling in my relationship with God. Then tonight a good friend made me promise to do one thing. Pray. So I fulfilled my promise. I prayed in a way I have never prayed before. I felt connected. What seemed like 5 minutes ended up being 20-30. By the time I finished praying I felt more calm and level headed. God has been here looking over my shoulder the entire time and for some reason I failed to take notice. In my dire need of him he came through. And I hope he comes through for everyone else as well. I prayed for aforementioned friend and the struggle in said persons heart. Hopefully God will help them in their need as well. I guess its always in our hour of utmost need that he appears to us and brings balance in our hearts. Thank you Jesus for speaking to me through my friend to bring me ever closer.

A brand new CAAAR!

Went to Price Is Right yesterday with all my friends for Casey Jones birthday. Twas a lot of fun. A ton of waiting and having to pee but my friends made it a grand ol' time. Being in Hollywood really makes me want to live my dream as a film maker. But alas, I have no idea where to start that will realistically give me a chance. Well I guess if that's what God wants me to do it will happen for me some way or another. Saturday I'm going to Ren Faire with my brother and mother. Funny thing is I'm going to be wearing a pirate outfit (even though I think vikings are way better). The viking costume I have would be embarassing to wear so I'd rather have a real viking outfit. But one thing is for sure, I look damn good in the pirate outfit haha. I lack boots though :(
By the way this is my brothers costume so don't go thinking I'm a weirdo who owns a full on pirate costume haha

Oh so very excited!

I am currently super duper excited. Here are the two reasons why...:
Concept art for the new Zelda. Notice he is not holding the master sword. Speculation is that the girl is the master sword in "human" form. The game will use WiiMotion Plus giving the sword fighting and archery more of a real feeling. Also if you notice Link is much older. NEXT order of business:

The Clash of the Titans remake! The only thing that bothers me so far is the fact that Sam Worthington has short and buzzed hair. Yeah I'm sure they weren't able to cut hair like that in Ancient Greece. Especially that perfectly cut. Would it have killed them just to put a wig on him? He would look effin' epic with long hair. Just imagine him having long hair in those pictures and you will see what I mean.

Who will be the future Mrs. Burnell?

So we were all talking to Casey Jones tonight and she explained such things as how she came to marry good ol' Nate. So it got me thinking very deeply. Who am I eventually going to tie the knot with? Just like any person interested in doing so, I have wondered this from childhood. And I will admit in my younger days I believed I had encountered said person (or course that was not the case). So who is it going to be? Is it going to be someone I know? Is it going to be someone I will meet in the near future? What about this girl will make me want to get married to her? (hopefully not pity or foolishness). Its quite pointless to ponder such questions since I won't know until I meet said female but I wonder nonetheless. And I can tell ya, I'm really excited to find out. All I know is that I will love this girl with all my heart and soul and have only eyes for her. I just hope my recent curse for dating crazies will end soon. My last ex girlfriend was looking at wedding rings a month after we started dating saying things as "we should get married next month" or "wow you should buy me this engagement ring". Long story short, it wasn't an awesome situation. I just hope I don't get married to a girl like this. Anywho I saw a palm reader at Balboa about a year ago (and I'm not saying that I believe the stuff I'm just stating what happened) and she told me I would meet my future wife (whos first or last name starts with a B) when I'm 23 and marry her when I'm 28. And for a little while after this I started becoming paranoid saying "whos name starts with a B?" of course ruling out everyone who's name started with a B that I knew saying "oh it can't be them...". But I just can't wait to meet this woman. Who this woman will end up being is up to God so I'm putting my faith into him that I will get a good one. I'm going to do my best to be the best damn husband Midgard has ever seen. And seeing as the past few girls I dated have kinda stalked me, I must be doing a pretty damn good job as a boyfriend hahaha. Sorry if this was random or maybe even a bit creepy, but I thought it was worthy of bloggitry. If you don't like it, suckit.

Now the victory is ours! Let us dance, the dance of immortals!

I am officially done with the semester. H yeah! Might not be able to return next semester due to no job or money but that Medieval Times job seems a little more likely.

This is how I feel. Accompanied by the 16-bit voice over that says "YEAAH!"

(spoiler) Our party was beyond amazing

So on the 18th as I previously stated, I went to Disneyland. I went initially with Brittany and Alex. We went on that Toy Story ride and ended up giving me a headache because I got all worked up pulling that stupid string. And for the first time I went on the swinging cars on the Ferris wheel and it wasn't as bad as I would have imagined. After a few rides and drawing BS pictures of Donald Duck, Alex left us and we were later joined by Kevin and then Tim. It was a lot of fun but by the end of the night my skull felt like it was going to cave it. The next day I went out to eat with my parents. Dave and Busters has awesome food.

Yesterday was Cory and I's party. Honestly I was so worried about how it was going to go down because I have never thrown a party before. Lucky for me I have awesome friends that God has blessed me with that helped with the party. Celia Z let us use her house and decorated it, Truman made a cake and also "magic potion" (he added dry ice to make it steam and bubble), and my mother made awesome food. One of the thing I worried about was having games and stuff to do but everyone was content just sitting around and talking. Afterward I felt really good because maybe I'm stupid but sometimes I am blind and don't feel like people appreciate my company. But tons of people showed up yesterday and proved that they indeed appreciate not only my company but my overall existence. I feel so loved.
That one is for Kevin. I call it "Captured...by Goombas!"

SHRRREEEEED!!!

So tomorrow marks 21 years since I spawned into the world. And I must say, these will be the longest years of my life. I bet when I turn 42 I'm going to say "Wow those past 21 years sure flew by". And its so sad that a lot of my early childhood I can barely remember. Almost as if it were only a dream. I kind of wish I could relive those memories. It would be cool to see my perception of things and what events occurred in general. It sucks only remembering bits and pieces

Anyways I'm going to Disneyland tomorrow to take advantage of some birthday thing in which I get a gift card that's worth the price of a ticket (I have a year pass). I'm going to use that ticket to help my friend buy a pass. The way I see it, God is giving me this opportunity to bless someone else's life instead of using said gift card on myself. If I have to for some reason spend that gift card that day or within too short a period of time, I'm using it towards other people for my birthday party. Don't know how but I shall see what happens.

Speaking of said party, it's going to be such a blast. It's a party for both Cory and I so we are inviting mutual friends. I'm super stoked for it. I don't want it to be so much for us, but for the people there who have blessed our lives. That's who I want to celebrate.

And a shout out goes to Alex Soto the boo-kiest mother effer this world has ever seen.
