Riding high on the wave of euphoria

Funny, that. The Phillies are a mere one game away from the world series, all my life being a fan of Philadelphia area sports teams has been a crutch that gets kicked from under me, This decade though has shown promise to seemingly every team in the area, with the Eagles being the most successful team this decade, seemingly winning everything but a superbowl, The Flyers going from the worst team in the NHL to going all the way to the eastern confrence finals last season, the Soul winning the arena bowl, and now the Fightin Phils one cole hamels start away from a world series, our first since 1993. This city is so ready for one of our major sports teams to win a title, I dont know what will happen if we actually do.

I just realized how much I enjoy comic books again, this faux world where anything is possible makes things pretty interesting, Iron Man in my opinion is a better movie to enjoy than The Dark Knight, girls only enjoyed that movie for Heath Ledger being so dark and had he not died I doubt they would have even noticed it at all. Stand back and ask yourself exactly what went on in that movie. Christian Bale made batman into this whiny pussified version of Bruce Wayne that never occured in the comics, Robert Downey Jr. played Tony Stark flawlessly. Terrance Howard was even good in his protrayal of James Rhodes who eventually dawns a suit like Tony's and becomes War Machine, even though that doesnt occur in the movie it is illuded to. What im saying is Marvel knows how to have fun with their movie franchises, something DC is yet to catch onto, Comics are meant to be enjoied, not make you contemplate how you felt before you saw this movie and the ramifications it has on reallife, because when you do that you miss the key word in Comic books, the word that signifies these are not to be taken seriously and to let you sit back and enjoy what it is you're experiencing. Comic.

Coke Zero for the masses

Truer words were never spoken, The phillies got beat up and mugged out in LA, and I didn't even watch the whole thing anymore, I can't Grampy Moyer got five runs off of him in the 1st inning, way to be clutch in a contract year old man, now I know what it's like to endure a gang rape. Ive been a recluse this weekend, i think ive physically gone outside to get the mail, walk to albertsons, and grill my steak, and that's it, the other 45 hours of the weekend were spent in my living room drinking yuengling I took from work, or in my room sleeping. This week in the NFL was pretty awesome, Redkins and cowboys both lost to shitty teams, and my eagles narrowly avoided the same ate before J.T. O'sullivan made the campaign for the niners to draft Tim Tebow, but losing to the cardinals and rams is almost grounds to be redacted to the CFL.

Well, back to me talking about how I'm wasting my life these days, halo 3, now, while the game is over a year old now, I still find myself playing it, either grifball or matchmaking, but last night, myself and three of my friends undertook a grand venture in said game, the Vidmaster: annual achievement, Finish the campaign on Legendary Difficulty with the Iron Skull ( a game modfier that whenever a teammate dies the game reverts to the last checkpoint) with everyone in ghosts. sounds easy enough right? fuck no, this took us nearly four hours. this is my second vidmaster achievement, and I'm looking forward to november 7th so I can get my third one, and I'm gonna have to wait out untill the mythic map pack becomes avaliable to get the fourth and final one and get whatever reward Bungie has promised us.
