Little Bit of Everything - And It's Been A While

Alrighty so it's been a while since I last wrote a blog post hasn't it? Well a lot has happened since then.

Remember that problem I was having where I couldn't sit down and play a game for a long period of time and actually enjoy it sort of thing or stay committed to a game? Well, that's gone. How did it go away? Well I was at a friend's place and we were flipping through channels and I saw a program called "The World Series of Gaming" so I asked him to check it out. It ended up being a Halo 3 (I'm pretty sure...) game tournament worth up to $100 000. These guys' eyes were bloodshot. It was amazing. And for some odd reason my problem just lifted. So that's gone.

Now another thing that's going in that I'm not going to focus on too much is at home. Basically it's going downhill and it's near the bottom - if not at the bottom. My mom, her boyfriend and I aren't getting along at all. I'm pretty much at the point of getting kicked out - it used to be to staying in the same district in the city, but now it's anywhere in the city - no matter where it is. But now there's a really good chance I'll be moving into my friend's place. There's a long story to that...and more after that even but I won't get into it. We just have to make sure it's all cool with his girlfriend etc etc.

Uhm...college is hell for me. I've cut down my course load to three courses a day - sometimes it's two courses so a real messed up day. With medical stuff going on I've missed so much so I won't be suprised if I don't pass this term. Whatever to that subject.

Today I was in this DJ competition and it went a bit awkward. Basically all we had to do was bring in our iPod / mp3 player and they play a couple of songs or whatnaught - but there was a few things I didn't know about. I posted this on another forum:

This is retarded...

I'm at the college right now and I just found out that we're going to have a limit on the amount of time we have to play. Depending on the amount of people signed up, we might only be able to play even a PORTION of a song - or up to 5 minutes...if less people sign up then we might be able to play more.

I've spent over 10 hours on downloading, setting up my playlist, organizing stuff, and I find this out, and the competition is only an hour?!?!

I've downloaded full discographies of artists like Gackt and BoA and found their information and disc covers in case we have to display them too...

But today was the competition and it went actually well. They were supposed to announce the winner of the competition. The winner gets to program / run their one time one hour show on the college's radio station. Another copy / paste here:

I'm wondering why they never announced the winner of the competition. It went really well though.

Well the performance went good and I basically "took over the microphone" considering I was limited on time and songs. They cut me off on my first song so I went to my second song. The songs I played:

Bio Genesis by Schwarz Stein (cut off near the end)
Black Stone by Gackt

At the beginning I was just basically like, "I'll be playing stuff nobody here will know or will understand, but I hope you'll enjoy the sound, so this song's called Bio Genesis by Schwarz Stein off of their album called New Vogue Children. So lets get this thing started!"

When I got cut off the song in a humourous way I asked for the microphone and just said, "Oh I guess she doesn't like this song so I have to cut it off and go to the next one...so this one's called...(and so on)"

At the end I just got the microphone again and basically thanked everyone for listening and so on and I got a bunch of cheers and so on.

As well, one of the judges approached me and said I did a really good job and we chatted for about 10 - 15 minutes and I mentioned the amount of stuff I did and how I didn't know that it was only an hour long and so on. So it was alright. I think it looks promising.

I've just been listening to the radio to see if I've won or whatever and they never announced it like they said they were at 8 PM so I basically sat and did nothing for two hours...

So yeah it's basically been like that lately for everything.
