This is quite possibly the most beautiful song in the world...



I can just listen to this all day long and not tire from it. To my pleasant surprise, these are the men from one of my favorite late 80's and early 90's group, "The Boys."

Back in high school, I was heavily into hip-hop dancing. I have recorded every dance music videos from M.C. Hammer, Bobby Brown, New Edition, and even New Kids On The Block. But "The Boys" put all of those wannabe dancers to shame. Also, you can stomp all you want, bring it on, and even keep serving... but nothing can touch the awesomeness of The Boys.

The news of Jonah Hill being in "Transformers 2" got me back from donning my super-defensive fanboy outfit.  As much as I loved seeing the robots in all their CG glory in "Transformers," I was left cold by the immature script and its so-called humor.

You see, I'm a child of the '70s where I was spoiled with a few robot anime that are literally superior than the film "Transformers."  Even with the choppy animation, what brought them to vivid life were good stories and characters you really cared about.  The violence was brutal and unapologetic and something you won't definitely see playing today on Saturday morning television -- instead, they'll be dumped on [adult swim] or something like that.

Anyway, here are just 3 of my favorite robots. Voltes V being my all-time favorite (fuck you, Voltron, you two-bit copycatting bitch!).

Revel in the ultra-robo-violence and catchy Japanese theme tunes...

So I bought the game at Wal-Mart (had to as much as I don't support it) at midnight and I was disappointed at them not having the Special Edition for the PS3.  Oh well, fuck it, I wanted the game.  So, was the wait and hype worth it?

Hells, fucking yeahs!  I've played through about 15 missions so far, and spent some time just exploring Liberty City.  These are my thoughts:

THE GOODS:

- Fantastic story, acting, and best of all, fantastic drama and comedy!  Who would have thunk that?
- The graphics was definitely not your grandpa's GTAIII.  Love every detail that's on-screen.
- Holy shit, GPS-navigation systems!  Welcome to the 21st Century GTA!  And the cell phone?  Wow, it just made the game so much fun.
- An actual fighting system with defense and counter moves!  It may be overly-simplified, but it works amazingly.  Some punk had a knife on him and with a properly-timed press on the X button, I stole it from him and quickly turned the tables around.
- The shooting system?  This was what I was worried about the most, and Rockstar solved the problem!  It's not exactly Gears-Of-Wars-like, but it's pretty close!  LOVE!
- I LOVE ROMAN BELLIC.
- Being chased by the cops has finally improved.  Taking a cue from stealth games like Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell, there's a field of vision that vehicular officials have while chasing you down.  A minor detail that provides a major experience in gameplay.  Escaping the coppers has never been this fun and exciting.

Ah, there's lots more, but I have to take a break in the action ... 'cause I have to go to work.  Lol.

Oh yeah, THE BADS:

- Played with the "SIXAXIS" controller feature on and I had a hell of a hard time with the helicopter.  Furthermore, since I play with the controller at weird angles, I have to force myself to sit properly just so I could maneuver the heli and the motorboat.  In fact, I failed the SIXAXIS tutorial about three times and I played the helicopter level for a total of 40 minutes!  Lol.
- Cops seem to be freaking everywhere.  It's probably just bad timing on my part.
- I would always accidentally hit the hotdog vendor.  The vendor would then won't allow me to buy the necessary dogs to refill my health.

Well, these are more annoying really than "bad."  I just need to turn off the SIXAXIS, but there's something fun about it.

... and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due.

A good friend of mine who I used to work with finally got a hold of me after not having any contact with him for four months.  I had such a big crush on him and he had no idea about it.  Well, that was true a few minutes ago, since I let him know about it now via email.  (Lol, friendship suicide.)  I figured that I start being honest to people and if I alienate them, then c'est la vie, I guess.

Anyway, I am just in happy joyous mode right now and I'll just be glowing at the moment.

I tend to listen to the original Little River Band every chance I get. I just love Glenn Shorrock's voice. This song in particular hits me pretty hard every time I hear it.  Driving home from work at 2:30 am in the desolate I-15 of Vegas somewhat hit me a little bit harder.  It's odd, as I was only involved in 1 longtime heterosexual relationship and 0 actual homosexual relationship.  But the very theme of "lonesome loser" fits me just fine.  I just don't try.  In that sense, I am a "loser."  But, what's in a label, you know?
Anyway, I think about the "lonesome losers" of the past.  People from the times when I had yet to be conceived, the times when I was a child, and now, during the times of the here and now.  I am fascinated by the human condition and how we have archived our eras of emotions through various works of art.  The styles and presentations vastly differ but the tales and stories are unmistakeably ours and ours alone.  When I leave this world, there will be other "lonesome losers" who will eventually populate our world.  Others would overcome that label while others continue to live by such a label.  Am I judging these people?  Of course not.  We are all captains of our own ships.  Though we may not predict the weather, the one thing we do know is that we have a ship to steer and sail.  And like all travels, there is a beginning and end.  It's the journey that matters.

Mike Paterson is a sexy cute chubby bear who I found out about from the awesome guys of Chubarama.  I then posted about him as well as an animated gif of his nipple being played on by a lady.  Next thing I know, that gif is being linked by other sites.  This one in particular, I personally loved:

L O V E !

It seems like I'm entering "coughing" stage now.  I was at work today doing janitorial I.T. work (i.e., setting up/tearing down loaner computer equipment for various events) and I never should have over-exerted myself.  Took a nice hot shower when I got home and it did wonders on my lower back.  Well, I just gotta weather through the sickness.  To pick me up, here's a Chad Brock music video...

I'm sick for the third time this year.  It really sucks.  Plus, my lower back is killing me.  That's my reward for helping my best friend move to a new house.  It's all worth it, I guess.  Nothing compares to seeing a great friend finally move from an apartment to a house suitable for his wife and two beautiful daughters.
 

My first post.  I really have nothing to say yet as I'm unfamiliar with LiveJournal.

Anyway, FIRST!!!
