So I have beaten both Starwars Force Unleashed 2 and Fable 3 within two days... I am tired yes but CoD : Black Ops will be coming out soon and I had to clear those 2 games off my list.
Unfortunately both games were anything close to being great games. Fable 3 I did enjoy for a short while, however I did enjoy Fable 2 a lot more. The game mechanics they had in that game that WORKED were removed from the latest... which is just amazingly fail. Story was a bit lackluster also.. for both Fable 3 and Unleashed 2. My god Unleashed 2 was so..... how can I say this..... like something they decided to throw together just so they could sell another star wars game. Story was anything but really basic... action was alright and the game was damned short..... 4 hours on hard mode? Oh well.
I play too much games... and now that I work part time in a video game store (which I enjoy a lot) I just feel like I should play everything I buy just so I can warn people if it's garbage. I used to do it anyways.
I am just rambling... so tired...

Though I did not write this, I found it on a board. However it does convey my feelings that I once had and may still be harboring. I also believe I have read this somewhere way before but I do not remember where.
EDIT: I also should have clarified that I don't agree with everything here. I know I did post it as a means to convey what I had felt at one point but I do not mean to point fingers towards all women.
Attention, femalia.
What happened to all the nice guys?
The answer is simple: you did.
See, if you think back, really hard, you might vaguely remember a Platonic guy pal who always seemed to want to spend time with you. He'd tag along with you when you went shopping, stop by your place for a movie when you were lonely but didn't feel like going out, or even sit there and hold you while you sobbed and told him about how horribly the (other) guy that you were fucking treated you.
At the time, you probably joked with your girlfriends about how he was a little puppy dog, always following you around, trying to do things to get you to pay attention to him. They probably teased you because they thought he had a crush on you. Given that his behavior was, admittedly, a little pathetic, you vehemently denied having any romantic feelings for him, and buttressed your position by claiming that you were "just friends." Besides, he totally wasn't your type. I mean, he was a little too short, or too bald, or too fat, or too poor, or didn't know how to dress himself, or basically be or do any of the things that your tall, good-looking, fit, rich, stylish boyfriend at the time pulled off with such ease.
Eventually, your Platonic buddy drifted away, as your relationship with the boyfriend got more serious and spending time with this other guy was, admittedly, a little weird, if you weren't dating him. More time passed, and the boyfriend eventually cheated on you, or became boring, or you realized that the things that attracted you to him weren't the kinds of things that make for a good, long-term relationship. You ignored the nice guy. You used him for emotional intimacy without reciprocating, in kind, with physical intimacy. You laughed at his consideration and resented his devotion. You valued the aloof boyfriend more than the attentive "just-a-" friend. Eventually, he took the hint and moved on with his life. He probably came to realize, one day, that women aren't really attracted to guys who hold doors open; or make dinners just because; or buy you a Christmas gift that you mentioned, in passing, that you really wanted five months ago; or listen when you're upset; or hold you when you cry. He came to realize that, if he wanted a woman like you, he'd have to act more like the boyfriend that you had. He probably cleaned up his look, started making some money, and generally acted like more of an asshole than he ever wanted to be.
Fact is, now, he's probably getting laid, and in a way, your ultimate rejection of him is to thank for that. And I'm sorry that it took the complete absence of "nice guys" in your life for you to realize that you missed them and wanted them. Most women will only have a handful of nice guys stumble into their lives, if that.I suppose the other possibility is that you STILL don't really want a nice guy, but you feel the social pressure to at least appear to have matured beyond your infantile taste in men. In which case, you might be in luck, because the nice guy you claim to want has, in reality, shed his nice guy mantle and is out there looking to unleash his cynicism and resentment onto someone just like you.
If you were five years younger.
So, please: either stop misrepresenting what you want, or own up to the fact that you've fucked yourself over. You're getting older, after all. It's time to excise the bullshit and deal with reality. You didn't want a nice guy then, and he certainly doesn't fucking want you, now.
Sincerely,
A Recovering Nice Guy

I have started back into my workout routine again and I am going with "Insanity" and let me tell you... it is INSANE... my god I am only two workouts in and I am dead dead dead tired and sore all over. It's a good thing though cause I need to get my energy back up there and shape up.
Other then that I can't think straight other then everyone should check out Lumo's
new set if you haven't already. This girl is just stunningly gorgeous. My number #1 fav girl right now on SG. Go check it out. Anyways I am tired as hell and need to get a protein shake in me before I pass out.
Hope everyone's doing excellent. Awesome face OUT!

I shot paper last night... man I never knew how fun a shooting range could be. So damned awesome! Sounds weird but it's sort of a date idea for me. But I wonder who would actually go on a date to a shooting range with me.
Lately I have gotten back to my workouts daily and the gym before work. Other then that I have beeen working forever. Oh and I did watch Iron Man 2.... it is damned awesome and I suggest you all go watch it.

I been so busy lately and tired.... tired as hell. So much to worry about and too much to do. I still have a feeling like this year is going to be amazing and something will happen. I don't know what but I feel it deep down. I been having a lot of weird movie like dreams lately and I keep forgetting them after a while. I think I am going to start writing these things down... never know what I can come up with.
Ever since new years eve my ex has been emailing me once a day. Basically she wants me back and all to herself. She has dated since we broke up 7 months ago but apparently still thinks only of me. You know the regular "I want you back" type of story. The thing is I don't think I can be in a relationship with her, I mean sure when things were good and we were alone, we were happy. But she was the insanely jealous type.. like she would call any other girl a whore/slut/bitch.... whatever, even if she didn't know the person at all. It was just straight up anger geared towards other girls. I lost a few friends the first time we started going out... then some more when I tried it again.
I mean yeah I got a few back but it's just not the same. She ruined my birthday horribly and embarrassed me in front of not only my friends and fellow workers.. but my parents most of all. I mean friends can look past certain things and such but my parents wont. My best bud even heard her hit me and wanted to burst down my room door. You would think that she hit me with reason... but no she was just angry and upset because of things..... I don't even want to go into. My dad said I shouldn't have to deal with that and I know he is right. I don't want to deal with that even if I love someone. I think it's abusive not only the physical but there were some mentally abusive things too.
I don't know why I'm writing this.. I think I just needed to get it out somewhere. I mean every email I get seems to get more and more crazy... to a point where she says she cant live without me and in the last one she just keeps asking me to love her and be with her.. nothing else.. just that for mostly the whole email. I just don't know what to do and I can't really talk to my friends or family about this... only because it is a bit crazy and I can't put them through more exposure to...this craziness.
