i guess i'll open with lyrics.
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you...
I can read your mind
I am the maker
of rules
Dealing with foolsI can cheat you blind
And I dont need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind
what can i say about me? about my life? why am i blogging?
because i like to write down my feelings and my thoughts and my random complaints. maybe it will make someone else laugh.. or maybe someone can learn something.. or maybe nobody will care. any way you take it, i dont really care.
i used to blog constantly @ pitas.. and then lost it for xanga.. then myspace.. so now i think i'll go back to just having a random blog that people probably wont read, but i know i can go back and read it and think about all the crazy stupid thoughts i had. its all good in this hood. [=
anyway. back to nothing.
i have just finished a 3 day video game binge. lovingly dubbed "throwback days" by my fiance, Daniel. yes. for three days i have played [not non-stop, i have a job.] Super Mario RPG. did i beat it? yes. was it easier than i remember it being when i was a kid? yes.
especially the axem rangers. hello. i know that anyone that remembers that game knows exactly what i'm talking about. those 5 stupid power ranger knockoffs were much harder when i was 10. maybe its because at 23 i have learned that your ultimate SMRPG party is : Mario, Princess, & Bowser.. not Mario, Geno, & Bowser plus 5000 pick me ups and mushrooms.
sorry 10 year old me, this is one game you lose for sure.
23 year old me was able to stay up all night to beat it.. AND drink hawaiian punch & eat reece's cups. [= best 3 nights ever.
to finish off, because i have been full of rage for like, 2 weeks, i decided to try my hand at some Wii Boxing. at 500 in the morning. after staying up the ENTIRE NIGHT sitting on my ass playing super mario RPG eating the aforementioned reece's and drinking HP.
i now have a hurt elbow.. however, i did kick ryans ass.
Wii Sports is not fun for me. Why? [WHAT WII SPORTS IS SO AWESOME AND IT COMES WITH THE WII SO YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO BUY IT?! -- see? i know what you're thinking.]
there are MANY reasons wii sports is not fun. lets go down the list.
Everyone I know is hyper competitive [including me. and especially my mom.] we're not happy people to be around when we're losing. especially if we're swinging "wii-motes" all over the place. one of them MIGHT end up across your face. [totally by accident.....] Do we take the fun out of the game? no. because people that are not competitive are lame. [sorry. lol] its no fun to sit around and hope everyone wins. everyone can't win. its a fact of life. that being said. i hate how competitive everyone i know is, because i NEVER WIN. i hate losing, with a passion. honestly, anyone who has seen me lose has seen me throw something [hello, what did i say about the "wii-mote" danger?] or say "you know what? fine i dont even want to play anymore." [or even more epic "its just a game, calm down guys stop acting so competitive."] uh huh. nice cover by me.
I dont think that wii sports is a game meant to be played by yourself [me, specifically.] i am not an athlete. at all. period. and thanks to wii sports, i know that i am not a wii-athlete either. how many "spares" did i pick up? 4. i didnt even get a medal. did i do well at tennis? yeah.. after a HALF AN HOUR of trying to return balls from my stupid AI that was not serving properly. can i hit a target? no. how many home runs did i hit? 2. how many strikeouts did i get? too many. how well did i do at golf? apparently that ball i can homerun no prob. [hit it on the green? no. out of the park? yeah.]
i did the "find out your wii-fitness age" and i am FIFTY-FOUR. note: i am TWENTY-THREE. so now my wii thinks that i am lying about what my Mii looks like, AND that i am a terrible athlete.
all of this playing wii sports alone left me muttering to myself [yes, i was. and no, im not embarassed by it.] everytime i would miss the ball or eff up somehow i would just stand there and go "its okay mindy, you'll get it the next time. you will"
and then came Wii Boxing. i asked my mom earlier if she has ever played it.. she said "no, i dont like it." and i said "its really nice if you're angry at something." now, i have been full of rage for like.. two weeks, so i figured Wii Boxing would be great. i began with training. [note: "training" does not explain how to actually play.] so first up was bag punching. i annihilated like 9 bags, and found out that wasnt even enough for a medal. then i tried "hitting the target" or whatever and ended up beating the crap out of my trainer.. since you cant get a NEGATIVE SCORE [which i would have had..] i ended up with solid 0s across the board on this one .. i did this for maybe 5 minutes before saying "he deserved it." and ohhhhh did he take it out on me. round three. trainer pelts Mii with balls... i have to dodge and move around and crap.. i tried punching them, moving the controllers.. finally i had to dance around my living room like Rocky. [MUMBLING TO MYSELF. "you got this mindy, you got it. you can do it. dodge them. you got it." etc.]
finally i decided, fuck it im going to just battle the random AI in wii boxing.
Round One: Ryan
DING DING
the wii explains how to play [note: this is after my trainer beat down session, and i have no idea how to bob and weave..]
i beat the crap out of him.. doing random ju-jitzu.. who knows what the hell i was doing. thrusting my arms forward, backward, & sideways..
[still mumbling to myself: "thats right ryan i've got you now." "i will eat your babies!" <--Sunny LOL and various cursing because i dont understand the controls.]
and i accomplished nothing. i knocked out ryan twice.. and he got back up, so apparently i didnt do that great of a job.. but the judges [??] voted me the winner and champion of that round.
i decided to retire on a high note [take note brett favre.]
at least when someone asks if i've done anything lately i can tell them that i not only saved mario land from an evil santa claus/robot monster who is trying to steal our wishes... but i also beat up a guy named Ryan. and then was defeated by Tennis, Bowling, Golf, and Baseball.
so now i have a hurting elbow, and i am more angry than i was before.. because i was defeated by wii training.
there's always later on.... ah Ryan, i look forward to round 2.
xoxo
