ZOMBIES Theyre back and they're SHOPPING


ZOMBIES !!!!!!!!!! They’re back people and I’m not taking it anymore, and I’m not talking about the ones who hang out in the food court of your local mall. WAIT I AM!!!!. Some nice people asked me if I would write about their new game called Dead Rising and after looking into it I thought, ‘sure, this looks cool’. I'm impressed. Oh and yes I'm jumping the Shark here.

This game, like other cool zombie games, involves you RUNNING FOR YOUR LIFE, but the big difference is, YOUR IN A MALL!!!. ZOMBIES IN A MALL!!! That's almost as cool as SNAKES ON A PLANE.

Ok I’m getting a little over excited here but I’m actually impressed with this one. Zombies in the Food Court. Zombies in The Gap, Zombies feeling melons in the supermarket. “Mmmmm Goood Melon”.



This game looks so good that I’m considering getting an Xbox 360. The graphics are great and where else can you fight zombies in a mall.

I think everyone should at least take a peek at it.

One is a genius, the other's insane.

I never posted last night. It wasn’t my fault. It was of these 2 lab mice that are trying to take over the world. Their names are Pinky and The Brain.

The first box set DVD came out yesterday and I just had to own it. I even forgot that Steven Spielberg was the shows Executive Producer, (not to mention Animiacs and Tiny Toons). Needless to say, there’s a Pinky and The Brain Film Festival taking place at my apartment this weekend.

The thing with that show is that its was suppose to be a kids cartoon but everyone could get into it. Parents, single people, clergy, sex fiends, perverts and politicians could all come together and enjoy these 2 lab mice as they tried to take over the world.

My favorite part was the one specific piece of banter that would occur in every episode. Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering? And we would get these crazy answers like I think so Brain but how are we going to teach the whales to floss.

So in honor of the first Pinky and the Brain box set, I will give you my top 10 favorite “Are you pondering, what I’m pondering bits”

10) Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?

I think so, Brain, but if they called them "Sad Meals", kids wouldn't buy them!

9) Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?

Well, I think so, Brain, but I can't memorize a whole opera in Yiddish.

8) Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?

I think so, Brain, but me and Pippi Longstocking -- I mean, what would the children look like?

7) Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?

I think so, Brain, but pants with horizontal stripes make me look chubby.

6) Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?

I think so, Brain, but "Snowball for Windows"?

5) Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?

Umm, I think so, Brain, but what if the chicken won't wear the nylons?

4) Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?

I think so, Brain, but we're already naked.

3) Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?

Well, I think so, Brain, but if Jimmy cracks corn, and no one cares, why does he keep doing it?

2) Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?

I think so, Brain, but calling it pu-pu platter? Huh, what were they thinking?

1) Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?

I think so, Brain, but what kind of rides do they have in Fabioland?

IPods and Assholes

I’m defiantly more entertaining when I’m pissed off. Once again, I was looking at my older post back when I had my “edge”, and I do need to be pissed off when I’m writing. Oh and now I think I know they way to get that venom going.

My office (shared, I don’t have my own office, yet) is right by the lunch room and latety this one guy who happens be (insert polite ethnic group here). He has his IPod Nano, which is fine, but he has these shitty 410 speakers hooked up to it and he’s forcing everyone to listen to his shitty music. PUT THE DAMN EARBUDS ONE!!!

Oh speaking of IPod’s. There’s this company in the U.S. that gave Video IPod’s to all of its employees but when they laid 30 people off in one plant, they demanded the IPods back. TALK ABOUT BEING A CHEAP BASTARD!! Now this is a company that I would NEVER work for, no matter how much they would pay me. Why? Because they’re more concerned about their bottom line than their staff. There’s a term for those type of managers. ASSHOLES!!!!

Despite the bullshit that any manager will spit out; people are a company’s greatest asset. It’s the people who stay behind to give you that extra hour to make sure that everything is ok for your customer. It’s the dedication of the people who put my computer together that make me come back to the same store over and over again, for upgrades.

As well, think about the people who weren’t laid off. You see the company asking for “the gift” back. It would tell me that this company wasn’t worth my time. I would return my IPod and start looking for another job because it appears that company considers you an asset and not an individual. So not to self; NEVER accept a job from National Semiconductor because they will treat you like shit.

I was thinking about girls....

I’ve determined that my VOIP box from CIA.com is the reason why I’m having all these problems. They don’t know it yet, but I’m going to kill the phone because it’s not worth it. I’m going to switch to Vonage. I’ll let everyone know how that goes.

First thing, I can’t take this heat much longer. It’s too hot to play City of Heroes unless I take a shower between missions and when I get back my chair is WARM!!!

I was surfing and I saw this banner advertising ‘Study Buddies’ with this picture. Now if this person was my study buddy, I’d only want to study anatomy and sex education. Who are these people trying to kid. If it looks like a dating service and smells like a dating service, then it’s a dating service. Who are these people trying to kid here? At least the banner that said they wanted to introduce me to people who wanted to have sex with me was honest, but this. You bunch of liars.

Actually if you’re a geek or a nerd, you might just want to study.

Oh I found this on “Best of Craig’s List” Why Women should have a Geek or a Nerd for a Boyfriend.

In the wide world of dating, there are many options. Do you go for the flashy guy with the smooth smile, or the dude in the corner typing away on his laptop? The following are reasons why I think my fellow females should pay more attention to the quiet geeks and nerds, and less attention to the flashy boys.

1.) While geeks and nerds may be awkward, they’re well-meaning 9 out of 10 times. That smooth dude with the sly grin and the spider hands? Wonder what HIS intentions are... plus, I’ve never had a geek guy not call me when he said he would. Score major points THERE.

2.) They’re useful. In this tech-savvy world, it’s great to have a b/f who can make your laptop, desktop, and just about anything else that plugs into a wall behave itself.

3.) They’re more romantic than they’re given credit for. Ok true, their idea of romance might be to make up a spiffy web-page with all the reasons why they love you, with links to pics of you and sonnets and such... but hey. It lasts longer than flowers, plus you can show your friends.

4.) Due to their neglected status, there are plenty to choose from. You like ‘em tall and slender? There are plenty of geeks/nerds who are. You like ‘em smaller with more meat on their bones? Got that too.

5.) They’ve got brains. Come on now, how can intelligence be a bad thing?

6.) Most are quite good at remembering dates. Like birthdates and such, especially if they know it’ll make you happy. Due again to their neglected status, they’re more attentive than guys who “have more options”. Plus, with all that down time without a steady girlfriend, they’ll likely have mental lists of all the things they’d love to do once they GOT a girlfriend.

7.) Sex. Yep. Sex. I’m not really familiar with this myself, but I’ve friends who’ve been intimate with geek guys and it’s raves all around. They say a virgin wrote the Kama Sutra... all that time thinking about sex, imagining sex, dreaming about sex, (they are male after all) coupled with a desire to make you happy? Use your imagination.

8.) They’re relatively low-maintenance. Most can be fueled on pizza, Twinkies and Mt Dew. No complicated dinners needed here, so if you’re not the best cook, eh. Can you order a pizza?

9.) Most frequent bars as often as slugs frequent salt mines. You won’t have to worry much about your geek guy getting his “groove” on with club hotties because, frankly, he’ll be too busy rooting around under his computer wondering where that spare cable went. You won’t have to worry about him flirting with other women because, 9 out of 10 times, he’ll zip right by them in a perfect b-line towards the nearest electronics store. I’ve seen this happen.
Me: “Eww. Victoria Secret’s Models... They’re so skinny. How is that feminine? You can see her ribs!”
Geek Guy: “ooooooo...”
Me: “Hey!” *notices he is staring lustfully towards the computer store*
Geek Guy: “What?”
Me: “Never mind...”

10.) Although he may not want to go to every outing with you, you can arrange swaps, as in, you’ll go to his Gamer Con dressed as an elf princess if he’ll take you to the ballet. Plus, if he doesn’t want to go someplace with you, you won’t have to worry much about what he’s up to. You’ll probably come home to find him asleep on his keyboard in a sea of Mt. Dew cans with code blinking from the screen. It’s ok. He’s used to this. Just toss a blanket over him and turn out the light.

11.) His friends aren’t jerks. I can’t stress this enough. You’ll more likely get “Omg! A GIRL!! Can I see?!” than “Hey hot stuff back that ass up here and let me get some grub on...” They’re awkward geeks too and will, 9 times out of 10, treat you with the utmost respect and, more than likely, a note of awe. A cute girl picked one of their clan to date? It could happen to them! Hope! Drag some of your single girlfriends over, open up a pack of Mt. Dew, crack open the DnD set and get working. Nothing impresses geek guys more than a girl who can hack-n-slash (well ok maybe if she can code... a geek can dream).

12.) They’re rarely if ever possessive. They trust you, so you can be yourself around them. You like to walk around the house in a ratty t-shirt for comfort? He won’t care. He does too! They won’t get pissy if you don’t wear make-up or don’t want to bother primping your hair. If you gain a few pounds, they won’t try their best to make you feel like crap.

13.) They’re usually very well educated. Physics majors and the like. See #5. You won’t have to listen to him blathering on about his car (ok maybe a little), he’ll have loads of other interesting things to talk about. Politics, world events, how much the chicken burgers down at the local place rock, so long as you douse them in hot sauce...

14.) You’ll almost never have to hear, “Yaw dawg whazzap!!” plop out of their mouths. Unless it’s in jest. They spell properly, use correct punctuation, and are able to tell the difference between the toilet and the floor. They almost never get “wasted”, so you won’t have to worry about coming home to find him and his friends passed out on the floor amidst a pile of beer bottles. Mt. Dew cans, perhaps...

15.) And the final reason why geeks and nerds make great boyfriends: They actually give a damn about you. Not how you look (though that’s a plus), not how skinny you are, not how much make-up you primp yourself up with, but they like you for you. That kind of thing lasts longer than “DaMN baby you got a fine ass!!!” Believe me.

At last, I find salvation.

My ISP is pissing me off.

My net access went down again last night and I'm getting more and more annoyed. Funny this all thated when i started using thier VOIP service. Even since I put that fucking VOIP box on my connection, nothing has worked right.

The worst part of dealing with those bastardfs that it take almost a half hour of waiting to get through. Then they give you nothing but excuses. Well if my net access isn't back by the time I get home. I'm dumping the VOIP from CIA.com and going with Vonage.

More at 11:00pm if I can get online.

Yadda Yadda

I’m not sure what to write about. I have some ideas but I can’t decide what should be Monday’s topic. As 1 or 2 people know, I’m not all that great at posting on Monday. I either have too many ideas or no ideas at all. Therefore this is the return of the Yadda Yadda.

On the weekend I finally watched a couple of episodes of AskaNinja. Now I’ve head about the hype of Ask a Ninja but I’m the type of person who needs to see it for themselves. So on the weekend, I watched Ask a Ninja. The episodes are about 5 minutes long so there’s no long term commitment but I do recommend checking it out. Oh the ninja’s review of Pirates of the Caribbean is great.

Politics in the U.S. is getting uglier and uglier. Now we have people stuffing envelops with Dog Shit and leaving them at people’s offices. Someone then stuffed the envelop into the mail slot of a Republican Congresswoman, and despite their attempts to hide the address on the envelope, they found who it belonged to. All I can say is, WHAT HAPPENED TO ARGUING ABOUT THE ISSUES. IF ALL YOUR GOING TO DO IS THROW DOG SHIT AT EACH OTHER, THEN YOU CAN ALL GO TO HELL.

Oh for the record. I HATE MySpace. Why does everyone think MySpace is so great? So people can create crap like this and this or how about this? MySpace sucks people.

Oh yeah, once again I find proof that someone has been peeing in the Gene Pool. A woman calls 911 after the police left her residence to the them to send the ‘cutie boy’ cop back because he was so cute. Well guess what? They sent him back and after determining that there wasn’t an emergency, they charged her with misuse of the 911 system. We need to see some ‘natural selection’ here people. What we should do is have everyone write an IQ test and the ones who fail get to become ‘the Hunted’ and the ones who pass should be able to buy a license to hunt the stupid people.

My 6 Month Google Geek Talk.

It’s been awhile since I’ve talked about how much I love Google. How I’ve been thinking of getting a ‘Property of Google’ stamp, tattooed to my ass. It’s been awhile and to be honest, Google has been floundering around lately. I’ve even a little disappointed with how Google caved in to demands from the Chinese government about the Chinese Google, but now Google has become a Phoenix in my mind. It’s regained its former glory with this new strategy. SUE THE BASTARDS!!!

This has to do with all the Net Neutrality crap that has been circling Washington lately. Basically, the IPSs feel that Google should be paying them for allowing Google onto their own network. Google disagrees, and rightly so. Google runs its own servers and pays for its connections already so why should it have to pay AGAIN? The answer is simple, they shouldn’t. The IPS’s (the telephone and cable companies) are just being greedy bastards.

What this means is that if I want to go to Google, but the ISP gets money from Search Engine X, and they end up sending me to Search Engine X instead for Google, or makes Google run incredibly slow. The ISP is deciding where I want to go. This supposedly already happened in the U.S. a little while ago, with people who were using Bell South as their ISP couldn’t get to My Space.

So if Google finds a ISP is doing this with, they’re going to sick the lawyers after them, something about Anti-Trust laws. Now it’s nice to see Google using lawyers for good, after all Google isn’t supposed to do evil.

Personally these guys should be worried about Google putting them out of business in a different way. There are signs that Google is planning to become a major ISP and a free one at that. They’re bought a lot of ‘dark’/unused fiber optic cable. They’ve been buying a lot of IP’s for the next generation Internet and they’re ready to start pushing out free Wi-Fi in certain cities

Now I’m not sure if this is the plan but Google could offer free wireless with Google ads, just enough for checking web pages and e-mail. If you want to use it for downloading, stuff, you would then pay Google for better bandwidth. Now I can hear some of the ISP’s screaming that it’s a two tiered internet, but when the two tiers are free and paid, it’s a big difference JACKASS.

Either way, I’m still in Google’s corner and I hope they continue on their road to success, I also hope they become an ISP here in Canada, because I’m sick of Shaw’s packet shaping.

Looking back.

Recently some reminded me of some things I wrote about around Christmas. Now last Christmas I was really bummed out because I was alone. No family, just me in my empty apartment. The person who reminded me was Sigil, the author, who is now working on his second book. So now I have a published author reading through my blog and the first thing I said was “please forgive the spelling mistakes”.

What I ended up doing was reading through some of my old posts. I’ve written about some strange things. I’ve written about Mott’s Clamato Juice, Gilbert Godfrey and Boxed Thoughts. I remember talking about publishing my blog with Lulu. I remember talking about the post I read from the Mommy Vet. How she had to put down a puppy that was less than a week old. How it reminded me of my own dog Charlie and when we had to put him down. (I’m starting to well up with tears again). I even found links to a really old Podcast that I did. Oh and I sound horrible.

I remember reading my old posts and I look at last week’s post about how hot it was. At first I thought, I’ve gone downhill, and then I took another look and decided. YES, THAT POST SUCKED. I remember writing about the marketing people for sex toys and the sex toys testers. How do we know if the artificial vagina feels exactly like that porn star anyway?

I also remembered how I said I wanted this URL on my tombstone when I died so people can get an idea of how I lived. I still want that to happen. Every post is a snapshot of my life; even the Photo Fridays and the Clips of the Week.  They are things that I wanted to share with the world.

As I was looking into my past, I was reminded of the rage I felt over not doing what I wanted to do. Now I look and I’ve realized that I’ve come pretty far since those posts which are less than a year old, but I still have a ways to go. At least I’m on a path now.

I remember the movie quote game, which is coming back. I remember looking at the perverted search strings that people used to get here. Stuff like ‘Cartoon boobs that may explode’.

What I remember most are the people who visited. The virtual friend who came by and stayed while other moved on. Vics, Brandie, April, Hugh, Jay and Erin to name a few. Some I still chat with via GTalk, E-mail or even phone calls.

Lastly I remember Jessica Carr; the ‘Big Ole Dead Titties’ girl from Bad Boys II. Give it time Jessica. That Skank Paris Hilton can’t be popular forever.

My 2 bytes.
