I am 194 pounds

I honestly don't know how I did it.

I have been 200 and over since 2005. I have basically stayed the same weight, at one point I was 225. Those were the bad years.

Anyhow, I starting my walking program around sometime after the New Year. This had me walking home from school, walking to friend's houses. At one point I walking 9 miles, 4.5 both ways in one day.

none of this really had an effect on me, then I went to Europe. It's strange, I tried to change my diet on thatr trip but also ended up eating a lot of bad food (but delicious). Then when I returned home, some how I was 197. This was a holy-fucking- shit moment for me.

So then after that I decided, "shit. I need to keep this up." So for the past couple days I have jogged a couple miles every day and walked significantly in that same day. I have also varied my eating habits: I try to eat fruit, vegetables, and lots of them. Then I'll eat chicken for protein.

So this morning I got on the scale (before I took a dump) assuming I had gone from 197 to 196.

No, I have dropped down to 194 pounds.

Well, the results of this are great. Three people have commented so far, strongly, without me telling any of them about my exercise routine. Does this mean I am god's gift to women? No, but it really fucking helps my self esteem when people tell me I look like I have lost some weight.

So anyway, I'm going to jog everyday now and just keep it up. My goal is 185 pounds. My only worry is that my knees could suffer from jogging on concrete.


This is going to sound awful, but I by chance happened to listen to Annie Lennox on my dad's ipod, and I found it is REALLY good jogging music.

Sonic 2 OHOOGHOGOHOh

Why is this a big deal?

Two super characters on screen at the same time.

Technically IMMPOSSIBLE!!!!!

"Shake" The Gap Band

I forgot about this song.


Shake - The Gap Band

I garentee it will improve your mood, and make you feel like a balla ass nigga. And if it doesn't, fuck you.

Sonic 2HOLY SHIT OMHG


I've been playing a lot more Sonic 2 lately. Yesterday I came upon some breakthrough discoveries. As you notice above, Tails has a shield. To do this, you must first get a shield as Sonic, then use debug mode and hit a transfer box. This will switch the shield from Sonic to Tails. This does not affect Tails at all, although he keeps the shield until the end of the level. The same method works with invincibility and Super Sonic.

Holy shit we are unstoppable!






And if I go super, Tails' shield turns yellow. This is because Sonic shares his palette with the blue shield, and thus if he becomes yellow, the shield does too.


This also does not affect game play whatsoever, but it looks fucking savage.


I spent 3 hours playing around with this. 3 hours. Fuck me lol.

Everything after may 2> may 2 and prior

I know I am a douche. I re-read my old postings. I sound like a douche. I KNEW this would happen.

But anyway, I'm turning over a new leaf. College is coming, and with that will be less douche-y blog posts.

8 Bit Theatre Is Not Funny

I remember seeing the 8-bit Theatre comics around 2003 or so and thinking they were really unfunny. 6 years later, I'm thinking the exact same thing.


I don't know what it is about internet nerds and their lack of funny-ness, but it's rampant among them. Some web comics are pretty good, xkcd and Perry Bible being some of them, but you notice that those guys are actually artists, aka putting in more than half an hour into a single comic.





Look at the comic above. Considering I haven't seen any of these in many years, I am technically "out of the loop", but even if I have missed a lot of reoccurring jokes or themes, technically this comic should be funny on it's own without the reader knowing previous references. That's why in the newspaper, if a comic has a story about a cat running away (i don't know) on Monday, On Tuesday the continuation of that comic will have a small recap.



But going back to why these aren't funny. Look at this. Tell me if you understand what's going on. From what I can tell, it's a guy throwing people into the sky one by one. Okay, so I do understand it, but that doesn't mean it's not stupid. That's one reason why this is not funny: the author is using sprites to communicate something, but it doesn't work. There are no facial expressions, it's just slightly edited face in every panel. Going back to xkcd, that guy has minimalist artwork, but he makes details clear. He doesn't draw faces on his characters, but he can show emotions.


I don't think this is an issue of me "not getting it". I think the comic is stupid, and that's why I'm not reading it.
