I do these from time to time out of lack of anything better to post about... I've actually managed to stay rather busy lately and still find time for GS, although for some reason the site feels alittle more dead than usual, not many people seem to be posting and the unions all seem to be more or less dead, save for the few tried and true off topic lounges. Might just be me.

In the way of gaming, I still havent beaten Heavy Rain I'm ashamed to admit, I started getting back into Mass Effect 2 restarting my renegade playthrough that I never finished, on the other hand since it doesnt look like I'll be all that busy this week I may finally sit down, restart Heavy Rain and see it through to the end.

One other thing I'll throw out there, I posted a few blogs back about my dilemma of speaking my feelings for a close friend of mine, I finally manned up and talked to her about it, I pretty much just spilled my guts completely, told her how I felt, all that fun stuff. Basically I just got shot down, she told me how she appreciated my friendship and how I was like a brother to both her and her sister, not exactly what I was hoping to hear. That was about two weeks ago and yesterday was the first time I had seen her since then, I'll admit I was alittle worried things would be akward between us now, but thankfully she didnt treat me any differently, so I'am still happy about that. Granted it still sucks to be rejected.

Jiu-Jitsu: I've been keeping up with the cl@sses regularly for four weeks now, even in that short time I've noticed myself getting in much better shape, I've gotten pretty lazy over the last couple years and lost most of the muscle tone I had when I first got out of highschool. I've been advancing pretty steadly too I think, after four weeks now my instructor suggested I test for my first stripe on my white belt, basically not so much an advancment as much just a recgonition of having learned the basics of the (art?) (damn thing wont let me say st.....yle) But after I earn that first stripe I'll be able to attend the advanced cl@ss learning more technique and be able to start studying toward a blue belt. On top of all that in two weeks we'll be having a guest instructor for one cl@ss the guest being six time world jiu-jitsu champion Samuel Braga, who I've also seen in quite a few Pride featherweight bouts, I'am pretty stoked about that.

Thats about it I suppose, I'll be going to see Shutter Island tonight, I'll be sure to hit the message boards with my opinion.
