And my creative juices have run dry for the day. I will be back tomorrow (hopefully) with more like these. Hope you liked them.
Yeah.
I was playin L4D2 with some people the other night and someone kept going on about how they just found their old Magic: The Gathering cards. It's no secret that I used to play a lot back in the day, but looking back, I wouldn't ever play again. The cards are too expensive and each set they come out with makes the previous ones obsolete. So, I've decided to make my own set of magic cards. Here is a little taste of what you can expect from my revamped version of Magic, called... (actually, I don't have a name. I was trying to think of something witty, but I'm starting to get the shakes from the coffee I just had. So if you fine people have any ideas, feel free to let me know.) Each day this week, I will try to make new cards. We'll see how long this lasts. If I can keep making them until Friday... I'd be... fuckin surprised.
And my creative juices have run dry for the day. I will be back tomorrow (hopefully) with more like these. Hope you liked them.

Minor Annoyances

4) Letting a bunch of food expire in the fridge.
5) Tony singing 3Oh!3's "Don't Trust Me" or Miley Cyrus's "Party in the USA" EVERY NIGHT.
6) None of my amazingly well thought out schemes ever come to fruition.
7) Twilight.
8) It's not the future yet.
9) Rolling 1's and 3's. Consistently.
10) The Pirate Bay is no more.
11) Sometimes when you post something on facebook, the time stamp claims that you have miraculously traveled into the future to post it.

24) Those Sonic commercials with the two people sitting in their car.
25) People who tell me "You can do better than her" or "You're too good for her."
26) Facebook's chat feature. Shit doesn't even work half the time.
27) The incongruence I feel because I realize that I hate emo kids, but I'm strangely attracted to women that dress the part.
28) Noticing things that aren't really there.
29) The Game, in relation to dating/finding women. The book was awesome. Highly recommended.

31) Smokers. Both in the L4D sense as well as those of the nicotine variety.
32) Navi.
33) Dance clubs.
34) Constant feelings of anomie.
35) How I tend to become very violent when intoxicated.*
36) Blue turtle shells.

41) How I can never really keep up a blog.
42) My original "Everything Goes Numb" CD is scratched.
43) Valentine's Day.
44) Chronic halitosis.
45) The sheer number of Mario Party games. Give it a rest.

48) People who celebrate being in relationships after only one month.
49) Having a credit card with an insanely high limit that I could never ever pay off.

Women and Slutty Clothing
I was browsing on the forums the other day, and someone had asked a legitimate question that I couldn't really find reasonable answer to. He asked why it's inappropriate to look at a woman who is wearing revealing clothing. For instance, picture a woman wearing a really short skirt or a low cut v-neck (or both) and you stare at them. (It's hard not to, amirite?) But the worst part is if/when they catch you, they give you the "OMG what a creeper" look and walk off. I'm unsure how to feel about that, because I was always under the impression that only attention needing whores wear this kind of thing. They want to be noticed and stared at by these same people they're giving looks to.
And honestly, women who are in relationships don't dress this way too often. There's simply no need to. They already have someone and don't need anyone else checking them out. More than likely the guy she's with has already seen what she has to offer under all the clothing anyway, so the point in wearing revealing clothing becomes moot. Unless said woman is a promiscuous slut, you can usually tell the taken women from the available ones.
We were at trivia last week and a friend of mine told me I should go to Athens for halloween this year because of all the slutty girls who will be there. Great. (I'm still debating whether or not I want to go. I'm not a big fan of the city, and more than likely we'll end up at a dance club. So I might have to veto.) I mean, I enjoy looking at women wearing revealing clothing as much as the next guy, but it's more than likely that these are not the women I'm looking to take home.
Along these same lines, there was a top ten list on Kotaku earlier today that's somewhat related to this. It's the top ten women in video games that don't use sex to sell games. I found it intriguing because I guess I've grown out of the whole: OMG IT'Z BEWBEEZ phase of life. Yeah, women have boobs. I get it. I just wanna play some fucking games. I don't give a damn about how awesome the jiggle mechanics are. It's like saying, "hey the game may suck, but AT LEAST EACH TIT HAS IT'S OWN PHYSICS!" Please. Here's the list with pictures and some amendments.
10) Zoey (Left 4 Dead)
9) Faith (Mirror's Edge)
8) Zelda (Legend of Zelda series)
7) Peach (any mario game)
6) GLaDOS (Portal)
5) Agrias Oaks (Final Fantasy Tactics)
4) Lucca (Chrono Trigger)
3) Jade (Beyond Good and Evil)
2) Elaine Marley (Monkey Island series)
1) Alyx Vance (Half Life series)

On Facebook Commenting And Other Things You Care About So Much
Found this on Digg earlier today, and thought it was a handy little flow chart:
It's not as good as XKCD's little flowchart to making an AIM profile, but it's still lol-worthy to me.
Took my counseling midterm yesterday. Needless to say, it kinda sucked. I really didn't expect it to be that hard. Oh well. So long as I make higher than a C in that class I'm good.
Trivia was hilarious. If only because we came in third and we pissed Starkey off. It was an IRL rage quit. I'm still laughing about that. Team "I'm Too Slow and Linkin Park Sucks" FTW.
We also decided that I should buy some chucks to go specifically for my suit, so I'm gonna do that tonight since I kinda have a bit of money now. The only question is whether or not to buy high tops...
I was sent an email from my college requesting that any counseling students interested in a job doing Family Case Management apply. The only requirement is that we have a bachelor's in psychology. They also added a note at the bottom saying "MALES STRONGLY ENCOURAGED." I did a bit of research into how much family case managers make. Median is 50k/year. YES PLEASE. And since I'm the only male in the counseling program, those fuckers better send something my way.
Oh yeah, I didn't have a Top 5 thing yesterday. So here are my top 5 final fantasy cut scenes.
5) The ending to final fantasy X
You might think I'm a bitch for posting this, but let me explain. I laughed so hard when I saw this. Skip to about 2:15 and you'll know I'm talkin about.
4) The intro to FF12
Sure it looks ripped straight from star wars. But that's what makes it AWESOME.
3) The intro to FF8
Sure Squall's a whiny emo bitch, but which main character in the series isn't? The music and the fight itself were awesome. This may be my favorite intro for the entire series.
2) Advent Children (Yeah, the entire thing. I consider it the real ending cutscene to 7.)
1) Sephi killin ur gf lawlz
I don't need to really explain this one. Does it really surprise anyone that my favorite cutscene is the one where someone gets killed while they're praying? I find it ironically hilarious.

I'll Just Leave This Here
I really couldn't sleep last night. I hate those nights. You know, the ones where you just lie there in the dark and just stare at the ceiling for hours on end. It's the worst. And for some reason, whenever this happens, I can never bring myself to think about how awesome my life is. In fact, it's the polar opposite of that. I won't go into much detail about it, but this picture sums it up. And that's what I'm leaving you with today.
So yeah, I'm tired at work and I've got a midterm to study for. Otherwise, I'm doin freakin great.
PS - It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia last night was crazy good.

So I don't update that often, deal with it.
I was originally gonna do a blog post about Arachibutyrophobia (fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth). Unlike last weeks' phobia, this one is actually outlined in the DSM-IV (aka a book on psychological disorders). But since I haven't had a real blog post in awhile, I'm gonna skip that for now.
Class had been good so far. It started off a bit slow, but it's picking up now that we've gotten into more interesting stuff like diversity and racism. (Note: if you want to be a therapist, DO NOT BE A RACIST. Also, don't have sex with your clients. It's why Phil is no longer a doctor and his show is a terrible misnomer. Though, no one wants to watch a show only titled "Phil.") My only complaint is that we had to do a stupid paper on why we're in the program. I mean, it was an easy paper to write, but I already did it for my personal statement.
My class runs tues/thurs from 6-9, meaning I can't go to trivia at mello mushroom anymore. :(. Though, Mollie did find a place that's closer to us called the Royal Oak Pub doing trivia on monday nights. It's owned by the same people who own Ship and Anchor, and honestly, I like it better. Too bad the they don't have a large hawaiian guy doing trivia. I'd like to go again since it's a pretty cool place and the food is quite good. Mollie and I did well for just two people and we guessed at a bunch of them.
I also finished Dexter season 2. The finale was totally worth staying up to watch. It was phenomenal. I'm kinda mad that I didn't start watching this show sooner. On the good side, at least I can watch all the episodes at once. I'd get started on season 3, but netflix doesn't have it up for streaming yet.
My friend Nick is in town for the weekend. I dunno what we'll be doing, but I'm sure there are at least a few shenanigans to be had during his stay. I'm not even sure what's goin down tonight. I might hang out with him, or watch a movie with Alex and Mollie. So we'll see. I'm down for watching Extract or The Informant! actually. Don't really wanna go out to a bar, which is what will probably happen with Nick and Big Rig. Either way, I can't stay out too late since I have work in the morning.
Tomorrow night is a different story. Since I have nothing going on (after 8), it's really up in the air. I could call the guys to play dnd, or we could all just go out somewhere. Man I love not (really) working.
Speaking of work, I might be working for Georgia School of Professional Psychology doing something through a federal work-study program. I dunno what that actually means for me as far as pay/tuition cuts, but it'll be some money at least.
That's enough for one post. Laters!
PS - I know it's already getting old but....
Sorry.

Top 5 Tuesday: Top 5 DnD Jokes
Oh crap. It's been a whole week. I'd like to say I've been busy, but then I'd be lying. Well, I'll write something meaningful tomorrow. But for now, this week's top 5 list is my top 5 DnD jokes:
5 - Anytime someone rolls a 1.
4 - Remember: anytime you try anything, there is a 1 in 20 chance you will critically FAIL.
3 - "I'm gonna spend an action point here..." ~I think it was either Rob or Kendall
"I'm not saying you should do that, but... you shouldn't do that." ~Ashton
2 - Chaotic Evil means never having to say you're sorry.
1- Jesus saves! The rest of you take damage. (or takes half damage)
Later boners!
