Friday

Expect A Podcast by Saturday

I don't give a fuck. I'm going to put something on that feed. I've already started and I can work all Friday night just to get it done. Hopefully making the show will be the calmness that I haven't had lately. Wish me luck.

EDIT

Shame on you for thinking I would actually do it. I'm off to Mardi Gras. See y'all next week.

Wednesday

It's SF IV Day so Why Ain't I Celebrating?

I've just been having many moments of anger the last few days. I don't know what it is. Every little thing has been setting me off. I was picking up Andrea at the airport and the train took like 30 minutes to get there. I'm grumpy at work. I don't know.

I saw someone I knew on the train yesterday, but I didn't say hello. I was scared she wouldn't remember me and I didn't want to deal with the awkwardness. The way I handled that bugged me even more and I got really angry with myself. Then 7/11 didn't have Street Fighter and they were supposed to. I demanded a refund and vowed not to buy beer there anymore. I'll go to the hip but overpriced wine shop to buy beer from now on."Bullshit...bullshit," I said. I couldn't believe what I was saying that because even though I feel angry, I usually don't vocalize my anger so openly. I had to walk like a mile and half to Best Buy and they didn't have it either. I made a last ditch effort to look at Gamestop but I knew that they wouldn't give the game to me because I didn't pre-order. Why can't I walk into a game store and buy a game? Is that too much to ask?

Of course Gamestop had to prove me wrong. They had plenty of copies. The fact that they had it pissed me off too, like "You're Gamestop! You're supposed to be the facist juggernaut of the gaming industry. You're not supposed to have unreserved copies of a brand new game." I felt inconsolable, but as I waited for the bus a homeless man asked me if I was alright. You wouldn't be able to tell he was homeless unless he told you. His clothes were pretty clean and all he had was a backpack. He wanted directions to the nearest Jewel so I gave him directions. He told me about how difficult it's been for him and I felt embarrassed telling him about how I've been angry lately. He was very comforting and for the first time in years, I wanted to give a homeless person money. A couple of years ago a lady hoodwinked me out of 5 bucks and I vowed never to give a homeless person money after that. I stopped carrying change so that my pockets wouldn't jingle and I'd just ignore anyone who talked to me on the streets. I wouldn't even let them finish their question. One time I told someone to fuck off.

Anyway, I didn't give him money. He never even asked for it. He just wanted directions and I guess he wanted to talk to someone. So that was nice. Hopefully I'll feel better before Mardi Gras but I'm not that optimistic.

Before Mardi Gras

Finally, check out these amazing wallpapers. I put the Street Fighter one on my desktop, but those Sonic and Zelda ones are just beautiful.
