So, a few kick ass things I have done this week...
1. I cleaned up my house quite a bit, which I love.
2. I went to see "Kick-Ass" on Wednesday night.
3. I got to spend my friend Gillian's 21st Birthday with her and her sister.
4. I played Resident Evil 5 for approximately four hours today.
#1 - No real explanation needed I believe. I got my bathroom totally scrubbed. Clutter and trash picked up everywhere. All I really need to do is the typically dusting and mopping.
#2 - I will whole heartily vouch for this movie. I just saw on a new trailer where it was named "Number One movie in America". I can testify that the title is completely deserved. The first few trailers really told you nothing about what the film truly entailed, which I find only adds to the film's awesome and awe quality. I really don't want to include any spoilers, but I will say expect the unexpected. The young actors do a beautiful job, and Nick Cage hasn't performed this great in years.
I am really pushing for the sequel they could have set themselves up to have in a short while.
#3 - Hooray! Gillian is fully legal! Clane and I met Gillian, her sister Nikki, and Nikki's husband Drew over on their more western side of town. At first we met them at a place called FuNuGuyz (fuh-new-guiz). Evidently this is some military slang that translates to "Fucking New Guys". **Please see below for more information.**
We finished the night out at a small bar called "Neighbors". The bartender was a wonderfully aged woman who was so sweet and kind. It wasn't crowded and we were all able to kick back, have a few drinks, laugh, and get to know each other. I left feeling as though it were one of the best chill nights I had the chance to experience in quite some time.
***Regardless, the night did not begin without problems. I am almost 27 years old and Clane is already 27. I lost my license a few months ago at some random bar, and Clane hasn't replaced his since he was 20. I have a Identification Card that I got when I was 19. Both forms of our I.D. are completely legal and vertical as opposed to the horizontal forms the state of Arizona switched to awhile ago. We can buy tobacco, buy pornography, open bank accounts, purchase glue and spray paint, and up until we encountered FuNuGuyz we could purchase alcohol with our vertical forms of identification. Not only were we denied service, but we were asked to leave. The manager who I requested to speak to explained it was an Arizona Liquor Board law that the owner insisted they follow. Regardless, I will never be returning, and that is too bad for FuNuGuyz since I'm irish, young, and spend far too much money on alcohol each time I decide to drink. We did not let this display of ignorance ruin our good time though, and while my ego was hurt, we moved on.
#4 - It would seem despite my fear that I am quite good at killing zombies. Well at least las plagas infected people, dogs, and chickens. I had a great deal of fun spending time with Clano and relaxing on the couch while learning the game. I used the type b controller option on the ps3 which helped me out a great deal. It doesn't hold me responsible to make all the camera changes for angles as the other types do. Type B mostly forces the camera to follow my movement, but allowing me to shift my view quickly with the right joystick. I do have one comical story involving my game time today....
I was doing slightly above average for a first timer of Resident Evil. Therefore, I was beginning to feel like "Billy Badass" as my mom would always say. I ran ahead, leading the way down some sewers. As I rounded a corner in the tunnel, I was met by a pack of rabid, zombie dogs that immediately lunged at my face. At this point, several things happened simultaneously in the game and in real life on my couch. First, I slammed my thumb into the left arrow on the D-pad to switch from my machine gun to my shotgun which I remembered being instructed to do when attacked by snarling, gooey, zombie dogs which catapulted my brain into phase two of my subconscious plan. I screamed aloud in such a shrill, girlish fashion that it caused Clane to jump back a little. Phase three in my split second course of action was to cover my face with my controller while continuing to whimper as I made Chris Redfield turn and run away like the little bitch I am.....Eventually I gathered myself together and blasted them in the face with my shotty. After the incident, we had to pause so I could tinkle....Fun Times..

Family Blogs
Alright, so I guess I have a minor bitch I need to get off my chest. I suppose a great deal of people will say I am jealous of people's families as well as other speculations about my character when I express the following opinion....
Family blogs are very lame and played out. No one really cares about "Aidan's" Easter Egg hunting experience or how many teeth "Isabella" has lost. I am not claiming I have something all important or righteous to speak about on my blog. I only mean to point out that if I wanted to be the most boring and uninteresting person in the world I'd pop out a few dozen kids so that I could constantly assault the internet with my cute family stories - you know the ones that you should be telling your own families, not anonymous people on the internet. Now you may be tempted to trick your mind and heart into believing that they blog and post these things for their extended or even immediate family that may not be local to the blogging family's current home. Don't be ignorant, back in the 1990s there was this amazing thing that became viral among computer users; it was called electronic mail. It allows people to no longer waste trees, glue, and the postal service's time delivering those annual family newsletters, but instead use clever clip art and photo shop to make the most annoying display of family vanity possible that can be delivered instantly to all other family members.
I just really feel that those things should be saved for the people who may actually care and are actually somewhat involved in your picture perfect families. I suppose I just want something original. A few quirky and interesting family blogs gained some popularity (mostly due to well educated and well versed parents who needed an outlet from their daily lives),and for whatever reason, now ever soap opera loving house mom on the planet thinks most of us actually give a shit about what she is doing to help potty train her two year old. F.Y.I. they make forums for that. Forums that require someone to join to share this boring information with each other rather than bombard the whole internet blogging scene with this drivel.
So, in closing, I am asking the internets to send me something a bit more exciting and original than Dick and Jane Doe's Family Lifestyle.

Up until now...
Many events have come gone. I have once again neglected to post my pictures on facebook in a timely manner.
Clane's Birthday party was amazing. We made a D20 cake and I really feel like a great many old connections were reestablished as well as new ones formed.
Clane and I celebrated our 6th year anniversary in March as well. We celebrated with all of our friends and family at the Renaissance Festival before coming back for Clane's birthday party.
We made Mona an Arabic dinner before heading out to Harem, a local hookah bar. For most of us it was our first experience and a great one.
Katherine's bachelorette party was purely awesome and genius on my part. Everyone seemed to have an awesome time, and I have the pictures to prove it.
Katherine is finally officially married off. The Fantastic Four (Chase, Mona, Clane, and I) made the trip out to San Bernadino, CA to be in attendance. It truly was a beautiful ceremony and a great deal of fun.
I am sure I have forgotten some great times I have had over the last few weeks, but at least I can say I have done my obligatory catch up post. Thanks!
