Fuckin Aye! Been a while huh? Well if you're still interested, I'm glad. Got some updates for you hoes. Midterms are almost done (Praise Jebus!). and I've pretty much aced all of them. The only downfall is, I took the midterm in Performance skills, which wasn't for a grade, and a choked. I dont mean the 'swallow juice the wrong way' kind of choked. I'm talkin 'The Ring, long ass string stuck in your throat' choked. The teacher told me that if I had taken the final today, I would have failed. However he also said that he notices that I'm an intelligent guy and that it is entirely possible for me to get with the fuckin program. So with the program I shall get. Pray for me. On other notes, my saving up for the NY trip on thanksgiving is shaping up nicely, hopefully I will be able to enjoy myself and come back with half of my brain cells completely destroyed.
Other than that, things have been running rather smoothly, my bonsai kit finally arrived so I gave 'Yuki' a trimming and she looks luverly! I've been playing the Sims, and let me tell you, they should make this game an official illegal drug. It grabs on and WILL NOT let go. I originally got it for my roomates girlfreind, so that she could have something to play while we were all at class. But I find myself playing it more than she does, and wondering about the welfare of 'Melissa' on my train ride to work. How long will this game hold me in its vice grip?
And speaking of Vice, I now officially own GTA Vice City. Haven't actually gotten to play it yet, but at least I have it. And most of you don't. HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!

Ah, autumn. The trees are turning, leaves cover the ground, weather's getting colder. I'm digging it in a big way. It's also cool to hear the conversations of people in the streets and in school; all varying in subject matter, but the level of conversation far exceeds the convo's of Miami ("so where are we partying tonight? When are we getting more weed? I wish I was rich so... etc.). I can't help but feel a sense of intelligence in these streets of Boston, or at least in my immediate area. Mid Terms approach, and so does that feeling of impending stress. But I feel confident about my knowledge of the various subject matter.
I really hope that I can make it to NY on Thanksgiving, hang with Fries and Dre, hit up all the hot spots, see what this NYC shit is all about. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

damn, my blogs are becoming less and less frequent. could it be *gasp* that I'm getting a life?! NO! screamed the trolls. Well, I just may be developing a kind of social ring. Went to this kick ass party on friday night. Huge house, Bar downstairs, Mad alchohol, Mad honeys, Cool Jazz thing goin on in the band (Is there always a band at parties in Boston?), Got preety toasty! I did meet some ladies. Will this tyler durton persona continue?! I certainly fuckin hope so. Tonight however, I went to "good times", a HUGE arcade on the outskirts of town, kicked some asses in soul caliber 2, got some L.A Machineguns lovin. Shot a few motherfuckers in Silent Scope EX (which, like madden, is the same game in a new wrapper) and watched my co-workers get down on DD Revolution (what is it now, 30th mix?). Good time was had indeed. Oh yeah, when you gonna finish FFX trace? still using hintbooks? ick. Oh yeah, DOOM III WILL CONSUME YOU ALL!!!! HELL IS UPON US!!! DONT BE WITHOUT YOUR DIRECTX 9 ENABLED CARDS!!!! THE FINGERS ARE ROUNDED!!!! CANT WAIT TO SEE SOME GRASS!!!

well, tonight is one of those "monsoon of depression" nights. Those 'Studied, watched some anime, played some games, talked to Trace online, talked to Jus on the phone, and still dont feel any better' nights. Dont even feel like posting, but I figured it would be funny to look back on when i feel better. Hmmm, whats been going on? I dont understand women. You may say, "But Q, you never did", and you would be right. But I understand them LESS now! They dont make any fuckin sense! One day, they're inviting you out, the next, you catch them hiding behing a computer, hoping you wont see them. What the fuck! Am i wearing the Emporer's new clothes or something? What's wrong with being fucking civil, and normal. "Hey Q!", thats all i need! I'm not asking you to blow me! For fucks sake.

I really don't know how I withstood all those years of primary and secondary school. Waking up at 6 every morning (with the help of mi mamadukes) to go to school. I find that quite difficult to do now, especially when its 50 degrees outside and my bed is a comfortable 70. Case in point: every morning since I got to Boston. Even when I got back from my 9a.m class, I climbed back into bed for a quickie (oh how I wish that 'quickie' had a different meaning in this case), and found it quite difficult to throw myself out of bed to attend my 11:10. I did however (aren't I responsible?), and it did pay off, as I learnt much about sins, square and triangular waves, as well as how much the human ear can take before bursting and trickling down the side of your face in a bloody tributary (keen!). Now I'm off to my new master (D.P., i am your slave) before my guitar class, which i really don't like, but in the end will make me a better writer and musician. Gotta work later. They screwed me out of a check last week, so I'm running low on funds for right now. Mom sent me some money, but only to buy a fridge for the room. I think I may have to return UT2k3 just to stay afloat. But like Humza said, "It all builds character". To which I respond, "I hate that phrase!" Here's hoping I make it through the week.

OK. Now its time for me to rant about the current state of gaming. It's not one of those angry rants about how many sucky sequels are coming out; or about the droves of games promoting warfare against everyone but America! (ahem...America's Army....ahem) I'm here today to rejoice, for it is once again a good time to be a gamer. All you Madden nuts can stop grinning now, cause you guys play the same game in a different package every year. I'm talking about the wonderful world of PC gaming. The quality of PC games are really starting to scare me, and the way that UT2003 is selling can speak for itself. I've asked every person that I've sold UT to, "You have a Gforce4 right?", expecting to hear "no, gforce2" or some sad ass comment like that. Instead, I'm hearing "Hell yeah! Upgraded just for this and Doom3!" (what,what,WHAT?!)
PC gaming is so many light years ahead of console gaming, that I have no desire to buy a modem for my 'rpgmachine': PS2, and the gamecube doesn't even NEED to go online (but they do need to get Rare back.....FAST!). PC online gaming is where it's at, and you can bet a muthafuckin nickle on that!

*rubs sore cheeks (not those kinds you cheeky buggers)*
Alright cool, Justin reads this....and blogs to this too apparently. Hope you had a good time over there, as if you'd have any other kind of time.
On to new discoveries! I learnt today that I can actually 'step record' in Digital Performer. This means that I can play any notes that i want, at any tempo, and the machine records it in whatever time I specify. So if i wanted 32nd notes to play in a row (and me, sucking at piano won't help that cause), all I have to do is play the notes that I want in step record and in playback, it'll sound perfect. CRAZY DRUM N BASS BEATS PEOPLE!!!! I'm still trying to get a handle on it, since it's so hot! Have 4 songs started, hopefully more (and more complex) ones will follow. Keep yawl updated, and stay out of my Trenchtoast!!!
