Feeling a little less active on here... and thats unfortunate. i blame work. however you should not suffer!

so the rest of Indiana was fun lots of drinking and excursions... West LaFayette is a cool place

i also went to my buddies place of work which i felt was kind of wasted on me since i am not a physicist or in any area of science. he worked for (he moved to SD which i will get into later.) his universities division of work for the hadron collider and the chilean telescope projects







yeah sometimes i had to question whether i should be in certain areas or not

and then towards the end of may i went to disneyland with a bunch of my cousins. they go quite regularly so they have funny little rituals such as screaming as loud as you can on every ride so you lose your voice and wearing birthday buttons so the park workers have to tell you happy bday hahah.

i dont have a ton of pics but...





Blue Bayou! filet mignon and guess which drink is mine hahah



best mickey ears ever.... unfortunately star tours hadnt reopened yet

and here some other random pics



so stoked my buddy got to take this dog with him after he moved back to CA... he was my bestest buddy during my visit... and a bit of a bedhog



i was at the cheesecake factory the other day and noticed the lights look like the eye of sauron!

ah college life (on the shower)



and lastly read this real fast



at any rate upcoming plans consist of me visiting San Diego next weekend! upon completion of college in Indiana my friend now lives in San Diego where he will attend grad school and he lives like 7 min. from the house of blues where we shall see POWERGLOVE and Dying Fetus... fuck the other newjack bands hahah

if you like videogames do yourself a favor and check this out



wish i could say i was going to SD this week but im thinking next year i shall finally attend a comic con

anyhow im taking the train up there but i have plenty of entertainment

if i didnt know better id say youre trying to take advantage of me with all this drinking and good food... liiike



mac n cheese burger with sweet potato fries with a 32 oz. scooner of regional beerrrr

also im sure youve all seen these

GIANT MICROBES!



from left to right: scum, flesh eating virus, and west nile

and that was just yesterday when i remembered to take photos for once... more of the same on the way for the next week!

"If i don't do it, I'll overflow."

This is important

After much deliberation i've decided no more SG

its becoming self destructive, its part of my every day life and it isn't healthy


so as of the end of this weekend i bid adieu to SG or "Sugary Goods."

NO MORE





"Salty Goods" too

i've got my grocery list all ready to go and sun. im off to the store

i know i have good discipline when it comes to diets. when i was 19 i lost atleast 85 pounds on atkins, which admittedly isnt the healthiest diet.

heres some pics when i was 19







one of my random hair styles from high school... sweet i know

so im thinking about doing a 365 project to track the progress also.

anyway this is another short faux blog #5, but i will end with this thought

you know in life sometimes people buy certain material possessions to affirm something like their masculinity or various faiths. well i made a purchase to cement my status as a geek



bam. r2d2 phone

hate me <3

Faux Blog Update #4

Ah, Albany. You were so lovely



obviously i didnt take this but dammit... how do you guys think to stop and take photos. is it a girl thing? like since you guys are more methodical and all?

anyway i finally got to just sit and drink and walk around... also it wasnt until later i learned you can walk around albany with an open contaitner... oh well. it was pretty much pizza and beer for me for those 2 days and lots of weed for my lads

the weather is just so perfect there i wish i could live in the bay area

actually if i would have gotten the dream job i applied for id be there. dream job i say? yes. awhile back destructoid.com was accepting video submissions to have a new video personality to do interviews for their website... how cool is that? i dont really consider myself telegenic but i mean what gamers really are. however i am pretty quick on my feet

so i present to you my never before seen audition video with some prenotes to get to understand it

- it had to be under a minute long
- the game read dead redemption was so expansive it had side games and even herb scavenging!
- thats my beloved brother behind the camera
- that beer was a random odouls in my fridge... no idea where it came from
- destructoid is randomly accused of bias against ps3

so without further ado... enjoy



yeah the mumbling is a problem too. im so weird talking through one side of the mouth and all... i think its because thats i smile too

next week my favoritest band is coming to CA and i think im gonna have to miss it because i dont wanna go alone and my brother started working again and im pretty sure hes the only one who would go see them with me

oh well... ufc 119 comin up

go manly stuff... thats right thats how im ending this blog

Faux Blog Update #3

*hic* mmmmm

heres a letter

Dear Boobs,

You know, as much as i declare myself a man of the ass, i dont express enough of my gratitude for your existence. And why shouldnt i? my favorites alone are like veritable tits all stars. theres nothing quite like you. such sexual desires generate from a part of the anatomy that is completely unrelated to 'the act' and yet we cannot control ourselves. i shall continue to appreciate you even though i am not in the group that does as such. god bless you

love,

Alecks

while im on the subject, it dawned on me the other day that i cant remember the last time i had a kiss. its odd my previous girlfriend wasnt really into it. we slept together before we even kissed! i mean do i even like it? i dont even remember hahah... its been sometime. just a random thought

so onto social networking news. who has an android phone? lets play some wordfeud! also i want to start a twitter with daily random thoughts but i want atleast 20 followers before i start spitting out gold

i shall be here waiting on my new spiffy laptop



it does everything

sometimes you just gotta spoil yourself ya know? hell i might not remember my last kiss but my paycheck definitely all goes to a very single me

Faux Update #2

quoted from my phone:

Me: you guys bringing drugs into my car? they have dogs in the parking lot and they pulled me aside... i passed though

Mother: What ! that is so wierd did anyone get caught having some drug problems over there

Mother: They must have choose your cause it pippIn

Me: That's what i said hahah


hahaha i love my mom... that last sentence was butchered as she doesnt text that often but i knew what she meant

but i do love my car, and it is 'pippin'



*not pictured: me weeping

in case you are wondering... it might have been the powder from my road flares that got the dogs attention

on a different note i often wonder why i have no interest in watching popular tv? why why why? instead i opt for shows that have way shorter seasons and with limited showtimes

it seems IFC knows whats up as they air two of my favorite shows now...

The Whitest Kids U Know:



and The IT Crowd:



but man if i were into CSI or something id be set... wouldnt even netflix id be good for like 2 years straight

Faux Blog Update #1:

i still have yet to complete the blog i can be happy with that will sit for months like the others do so until then you get these short mini blogs. because i apparently need to update due to a face (among other things) i cannot say no to

SO! right now im sitting here drinking mountain dew having just finished a churro with strawberry inside, which... oh my god since when did they start putting things in churros? i mean plain churros by themselves already blew my mind

at any rate i am about to compile a playlist and then burn it to a cd. So the playlist will be comprised of some of the toughest breakdowns in metal and when i mean toughest i mean like one that compliments the song

here are some hearing aids to get my point across

this is a breakdown 'composed' simply to get the listener or concert go-er to dance or shake it (because hardcore and hiphop are super similar you just dont know it... break beat... breakdown... same shit you dorks)



thats what i like to call a "this is your last chance (for the 5th time) let me see some fists swinging." type break down

now then what im looking for is...



UGGGGH SON! anyway i refer to that simply as the 'fuck you' breakdown... said in a southern accent for full effect

so heres what i got:

Machine Head - Davidian
Pantera - This Love
Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face
Origin - The Aftermath
Suffocation - Funeral Inception
Cryptopsy - Slit Your Guts
Slayer - Angel of Death
Opeth - Deliverance
Dying Fetus - Vengeance Unleashed
Decrepit Birth - Prelude to the Apocalypse
Necrophagist - Diminished to B
Dimmu Borgir - Indoctrination
Nile - Cast Down the Heretic

and lastly i cannot decide which Nevermore song... The Final Product, I Voyager, or The River Dragon has Come

so there you have it my manly breakdown playlist

anything to contribute?

well well... this lack of update is utterly pathetic is it not? well heres a short one

it is not that often that i get weekends off at my new job so this particular weekend was semi manly

friday i went to a shooting range with a friend and then we barbecued and drank beer. we shot a 9 mm and he shot a 308 that i was a bit intimidated by, but i fell in love with his ar15







so what didnt make this weekend into a total manfest is that fishing got cancelled on satuday... boo! so no pic



and then we capped it off sunday when me and my bro hit the casino while his gf and her friend were off seeing rick springfield and loverboy



ok so i obviously didnt take that one but you get the idea

in case youre wondering i broke even... we were lighitng up the 2 cent slots... yeah thats right, double the penny slots. we like to live dangerously



Jeah!

PS. next blog will be an intricately woven tale of how i came to be beardless. its taking me awhile to surmise exactly how i want to express this delicate matter. but yeah im thinking short story with animations

till next time <2
