I'm talking about my friend John, Taco John. His meals always satisfy me after a rough 3 hour workday, and the service is incredible. There is one guy there who works the lunch shift who just rocks. He takes his job incredibly serious, he works the drive thur, and he wears a full on Motorola NFL coaches style headset. He messed up my order in the drive thru once, and afterwards, he personally told me he was sorry. Sweet.

As far as their food goes, it's great. Damn fine and a damn fine price, especially on Taco Tuesday. Their chicken quesadilla's are better than Taco Bell's, because they use better, bigger chicken "pieces". Their crispy tacos are delicious, as are their soft shells. And for .89 a taco, that's not a bad price at all.

I am so frickin sick and tired of all the EA bashers around here. By listening to these wonders, you would think that EA has never put out a decent game in it's life, and Madden is the worst football game since Jerry Glanville's Pigskin Footbrawl. These people cry and whine about how they are going to sign all these petitions, which I think is hilarious. Since when has ANYTHING ever been changed because of an online petition? Then these people say "Now EA doesn't have to make a good game, because there is no competiton". How does that make ANY sense? Is Backyard Wrestling 2 a huge seller because it's the only game of it's kind? No! Was Yo! Noid the best selling Nintendo game of all time, just because it was the only side scroller to feature yo-yo weilding pizza mascots? NO! EA is NOT the kind of company that would let their flagship title, Madden NFL Football, turn into a horrible game, just because there is no direct competition. Say whatever you will about EA Games, how they screwed up Rouge Agent and blah blah blah, EA Sports still turns out 4 to 6 very good to great sports games a year, with Madden always being on top of the list. This new exclusivity deal could usher in a whole new type of NFL football game. Maybe the whole reason why he haven't seen an online franchise mode is because the NFL doesn't like the idea. Well, now EA could do it, and work with the NFL to provide up to date player ratings, injuries, etc. Anyone who thinks Madden is going to go into the tank because of this move is just plain ignorant.

Geez, all those games sure do suck! Man, EA is the next 3DO! Morons.

About 5 years ago, I consumed 40 Chicken McNuggets in one sitting. Since then, I have always wondered how many more I could eat. Well, today, I found out: a lot more than 40. Although I only broke my record by 1, I am convinced that I could put down at least 50. My damn bro was supposed to save me 8 "backup" McNuggets, in case I wanted to break my record, but he only saved me one, insuring that I would break it. And I did. See below for the receipt if you want proof.

I got off work today, and was going to go to Taco John's, since it's Taco Tuesday, but the drive thru line was at least 7 cars deep, so I decided to go to KFC. What a mistake. The food was good, but the menu's they use suck ass. You can't order just chicken without paying a huge price. I wanted JUST hot wings, which come in 2 sizes: 6 piece for roughly 3 bucks, or 18 pieces for 9! Jesus christ! Why is there a 12 piece gap? What if I want just 10? So I shelled out the 9 bucks for 18 wings, which were good, but for christs sake KFC, let your damn customers order individual pieces of chicken. You can't get just 2 breasts and 2 wings, you need to get some crappy combo and 5 side dishes that you don't want. When I go to Kentucky Fried CHICKEN, I don't want cole slaw or baked beans or a damned mashed potato. I want CHICKEN!

This entry is inspired by this topic.

I tried Animal Crossing about a year and change ago, and after about 8 sessions of about 30 minutes each, I could not play the damn thing anymore. It was just too damn boring. I don't find it fun to manually type letters to my animal friends, only so they can write back with a response that may or may not make any sense at all. Yeah, it's somewhat cool to see them react if you call them a "flaming assdonkey" in a letter, but most of the time, they just write back with some stupid retort like "You're so silly". What is fun about that? Also, what is fun about walking aroung environments that could have been done on the N64, digging up carrots and chopping down trees to get apples? Nothing! There isn't ANYTHING fun about that. Why do I have to pay off a debt to Tom Nook, when I have my own debts in real life? I thought games were supposed to make you forget about the real world and your problems, not remind you of your cable bills! The love affair people have with this game sickens me, I just don't get it. Sure, it may be innovative, but in a way, so was BMXXX, and that game sucked too. You can bring all the innovation you want to a game, if you can't provide me with gameplay that's fun, I won't play your crap game. I'm sure many people will pass me off as someone who only played the game for 5 minutes, didn't see any guns or dead bodies, and decided he didn't like that, but that's fine. I am entitled to my opinion, and in my opinion, ANIMAL CROSSING IS A TURD.

To all those "experts" who ranked the Hokies at the bottom of the ACC, whaddya got to say now? Bryan Randall continues to impress me, and I really want to see him play relatively mistake free in the Sugar Bowl. The coaching staff did their best job ever this year also. Congrats to my Hokies, and good luck in the Sugar Bowl, I'll be watching with my faded, tattered Va Tech shirt and both Hokie hats!

Here are some of the things I find worthy to spend money on. Bone up on these things, and you will enjoy them too.

1. Ring of Honor



Ring of Honor is the best wrestling promotion in North American right now. But before you say "Wrestling!? That stuff is so fake, with Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior and Andre the Giant! Boooo!", please do me one favor: punch yourself in the testicles. That WWF/WWE crap isn't pro wrestling, it's "Sports Entertainment", meaning that in a 2 hour TV show, you'll see 7 promos, all of them lousy, with about maybe 30 minutes of actual wrestling. And bad wrestling at that. Well, ROH is completely different. Sure, they don't have big name talent, but the guys who do compete, the Samoa Joe's, the Homicide's, the Bryan Danielson's, they all put it all on the line, every single night. Some of the stuff they do in the ring is beyond belief, and needs to be seen to be believed. Ring of Honor mixes so many styles of wrestling, it's crazy. Guys like Joe, Homicide and Low Ki pull no punches, as they WILL legitimately kick and slap and punch the hell out of people. And if you think people don't really get hurt, then you are dead wrong. Check out their official site at www.rohwrestling.com, and if you are going to buy any DVD's or tapes, I suggest Death Before Dishonor, Final Battle 2003, and Death Before Dishonor 2, Parts 1 and 2. Actually, every single ROH release is 10 times better than any Raw, Smackdown, or PPV that the WWE has put on in the last 5 years. Their shipping times are incredibly fast and very cheap too!

2. Coheed and Cambria



Coheed and Cambria is the best rock band I have ever heard. Granted, I grew up listening to rap music, and it's still my favorite genre of music, but Coheed and Cambria has become my favortie band/artist. Why? Because they are so damn strange. Songs about killers named Al who only feast on white girls, and lots of other crazy stuff, it's just so damn weird. But it sounds great. Claudio Sanchez, the lead singer, has a voice that you either love or hate. I love it, a lot of people hate it. It's very high pitched, but it works so well with the instruments they use. I'm no music expert by any means, so it's hard for me to compare them to anyone, so I guess I should tell you to preview their tracks at MP3.com to see if you really like them. And if you do, then buy their CD's, don't steal them, truly talented bands need support from record consumers, pop starts like Britney Spears don't. I suggest to listen to both of their albums, because they grow on you. I started listening to this band during my daily Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine gaming sprees, and they quickly grew on me. CoheedandCambria.com is their official site, check it out.

3. The Early November



I only started listening to TEN after I saw that they were similar to Coheed and Cambria on MP3.com. I checked out their song clips, and downloaded a couple tracks from their albums, and I was very impressed. They have a real somber, laid back sound on most of their songs, but some of them are real driving rock tracks. Their acoustic stuff is amazing as well, hearing the acoustic and regular versions of "Every Night's Another Story", and how different they sound is really cool. This is another band that deserves your money, so if you find out that you like them, please, buy their CD's, they aren't going to break your wallet.

4. Airheads



You won't find a better candy out there right now. You just won't. So stop trying, and go to your nearest convienience store and pick up some Airheads. Seriously, if there was an Airheads shortage, I would probably s*** a d**** for one, they are that damn tasty.

And there you have it. Those are just some of the things I love. I guess I just posted this to keep my journal updated, since whenever I make an entry, it seems to get a fair amount of traffic.

It's not because I don't have anything to so, because I always do. I just don't like to post a bunch of crap in my journal, and get 2 or 3 replies. I usually try to write something meaningful, something that will have other people talking, laughing, or puking. But that's not the case tonight.

I'll come up with something in a while, as if anyone really cared.

Even if a game came out featuring the worlds 500 hottest chicks playing naked "pin the finger on VG", I wouldn't wait in line for hours for a copy. But apparently, hundreds of thousands of "people" were willing to do so to get their hands on Halo 2. At what point in your life do you think to yourself "Well, I'm in my sleeping bad, on the sidewalk, outside of EB games, waiting for a video game to come out. I'm right where I want to be in life."? I don't mind people who pre-order games incredibly early, but it's the people who treat one game as if it is a religious document that when opened, will unveil all the secrets to life, who really annoy me. These are the same people who complain about how much Star Wars Episode 2 sucks, but have seen it 4 times since it opened....2 days ago. And that's my mini rant of the night. Too bad nobody is around to read it, since they are all PLAYING HALO 2! Ohhh, the irony of it all!

I have been waiting for the Halo 2 review for a while now. Not because I wanted to see what score the game got, but rather, I wanted to see just how many pathetic losers would cry about the review. Well, the review is out, and I am shocked by just how many just plain stupid people there are on these forums. They treat a VIDEO GAME REVIEW like life and death. They act as if since Halo 2 didn't get a perfect 10, their mother will be raped by Mike Tyson. Get over it nerds, it's a damn review. I really don't envy Greg K. His inbox is probably filled with crybabies whining about the review. He probably knew that no matter what the score, people would complain. If he gave it a 10, PS2 and GC fanboys would cry about him being biased. 9.9? And I attribute all of this to System Wars, a breeding ground for idiocy.
