Since my big surprise (pictures of very old video games in which I found recently) was thwarted by censorship reasons, I decided to create a series where I pretty much ramble. Nothing in this blog series will connect to itself. It'll be completely off the wall insanity nonstop. This will be a new pleasure for me because I have done this before, but not to this extent. I am building a pattern.

A Gaming Poet's "Addiction" series
An complete blog with ideas and so forth
Unorganized Brainwaves series

Then it repeats ect. Unless something happens, I plan on doing this for a while. I have four weeks of winter vacation and I want to spend that time writing. As the "clown of poetry" I must keep my mind going. Sitting around and not writting will wind up being bad for the imagination. I'll pump these babies out when I feel like I need to. I thank you all for sitting through my writing. It is now going to be great fun throughout...(I hope.) :oops: Ready to get started? Here we go!

"The artist has the freedom to use nudity if he feels like it."
- Jim Morrison

In response to you Mr. Lizard King, all I have to say is.. no. Sure, it's okay to have the freedom to do it. But this artist has to say, no way to that idea. My body is a "temple" that I prefer to be gated. I'd rather not let people see what's under my jeans and t-shirt. I'm not sure what happened in Miami but I think that you had too much to drink my fellow poet.

It's 3:30 in the morning and I am jamming out to Genesis! I love this band, Phil Collins or Peter Gabriel. Boy, I sure do enjoy Peter Gabriel's solo career too. "Solsbury Hill" makes me feel happy on the inside. It's like looking into poetry with wonderful music put to it. "My friends think I'm a nut".... well said Peter, well said. Most of my friends think that too, but do not mind it at all, in fact they encourage me a lot. Being myself is all I can be right? Especially with my newly veggie lady, she has another test coming soon. She hopes that she can get her hands on a double cheeseburger eventually. That's a good thing.

I got past my final exams today. All of them were a lot of fun. Except for one which was bad because of all the distractions going on in the room they put me in. I could hear the elevator going up and down and people talking. I felt like I would throw a fit in any moment. Instead, I simply said, "get me out of here!" and they moved me. Hurray! I got a 67 on it but it's higher than the cl@$$ average. That pleases me in so many ways. I went into each final with a 80 percent or better so, that bad D didn't affect me too bad. I wound up with a 76 for the course. The rest of the exams were extremely easy and I knew all the material. I'll post my awesome grades once I get the rest of them. I'm sure that I did very very well. :D

Ack! my mind is lost again. I felt the Cosmos..... it felt like syrup. Sticky.,.

Where did that comma in that sentence come from? Why the grammar is the joy of within!? Gosh, I probably should sleep now, I need butter.

This computer is slower than toothpaste. And we all know how that goes. Enjoy the weekend everyone and be sure to place mouthwash spam all over my new blog series, YAY!

Before I get started, I'd like to say that my girlfriend is alright. She's bitter because she's taking medication and not able to eat meat for a couple of months. Which is insane since she loves her meat as much as I do. She doesn't want to be a "rabbit", no offense Hungry_bunny. Also, it was fun playing Halo 3 with marbig and crypto for the first time. Strangely enough, it wouldn't let me accept any of the game invites until my friend was with me. Don't understand how that was going on, but it was still a bit interesting. I plan on getting a headset soon, when the holiday season permits me to do so. lol. Now then, let's go and look in the old box!

"It's never a game when you are winning."
- George Carlin

So I find that this box is filled with more awesome than I could imagine. Not only does it have my SNES and its games, it has my regular Nintendo games in it as well! :D Along with my original GameBoy things. I decided to put up pictures of all the games I found. But then something happened. I tried to put these pictures up and everything else is fine. I try to submit it and it says that "One or more words within your message were automatically censored. I didn't use cl@$$ic or any other words that they would disapprove of. Why is that? None of the pictures said anything naughty either. Something is going on here folks and I do not like it at all. So instead of pictures of old games, you get this one. Have a wonderful time everyone and be sure to make the "man" as unhappy as possible. Thanks for reading.

This blog was supposed to be my box of awesome extravaganza. On which I would explain all of the awesome games that I found in the retro box. Instead, I am trying to comprehend another insane girlfiend thing. She talked to me a few minutes ago and told me that she was in the emergency room. She went to use the bathroom and saw too much blood. She freaked out and was taken to her hospital for her to take tests. She hadn't had her time in the month in about three she explained to me. She had to get off so I'm pretty much insane right now about it. I'm looking through WebMD to see what she could possibly have. It says that she may have what they call Functional Ovarian Cysts. All the signs are pointing to it. I just hope that she will be okay. I hope that I can talk to her and help her when she needs me. For now, I gotta hold my breathe until I can do something useful. So I apologize for the wait for the awesome box blog and the new Gaming Poet's "Addiction" as well.

Since I stressed all I could with the old school television shows. I thought I should actually do some gaming blogs. They are just awesome, right? They are a lot of fun and we enjoy them all. Some people like to say that games are an "addiction". I don't think that it is a gateway drug or anything like that. Playing Beautiful Katamari doesn't make me want to smoke any illegal substance (although people like to believe that the creator was on something when he designed it). I feel that some satire is in order. From my point of view, to those nay sayers.

This week's confession: Super Mario Galaxy.

Hello. My name is Rob. And I have a problem. Well, it's not really a problem. Even when it is eating up the limited free time that I have. Nothing is as fun as this. It gives me a rush just talking about it. It's called Super Mario Galaxy. When I'm not doing homework or socializing with my girlfriend and friends; I'm playing it. Its gameplay is amazing and high quality stuff. I have about 60 stars or so. That's over the last month. Its platforming challenges are engaging and I really can't seem to stop. What I like most, is when we get to the levels that are almost 2-D. Like the old school NES and SNES games. I feel that nostalgia that I've been missing in my daily life. The urge to go back to the past feels satsified when I pick up the Wiimote. Picking up star bits is like "honey" and it tastes so good. Especially when you get to find different ways to get them. The powerups are very amazing too. Even that silly looking Bee one. Should I stop playing it? No. Am I addicted. Yes. Is that a bad thing? No. Is it better than any drug that one could get? That's a big yes. Mario: this poet's gaming addiction: Number 1.

I'll continue these if you all like them. After all, this is experimental. Another thing, I'll eventually have a blog based on all of the games I found in that old school box. So that everyone can enjoy my treasure too. Spamity comments on my new series if you so wish to do so!! :D

I am back at the college once more so here I go with the insanity!

"Cats regard people as warmblooded furniture."
- Jacquelyn Mitchard

That quote is nothing but the truth. My cat stayed on my lap the whole time I was home. I was afraid that he'd cling to my legs and stay that way. He's so adorable though. This is my awesome cat, Nibbles.

He was an outside cat when I first got him. That's why the pic was outside. He would roam around and play with the leaves and be hilarious. He likes to nibble on my fingers so that's how he got his name. Now he likes the inside, although he will go outside if he wants to. I also have his brother too. I got him a couple of days afterward. He was so cute. Being the awesome brother of Nibbles. He has little specks on the side of him. So his name is Bits. He has a curly tail. I don't know why but it's always curling up under him when he lays down. This picture is an example.

That's about all for now. I'm going to relax and finish watching the Bears/Broncos game. The score is 34/27. Broncos lead. Time for relaxing and preparing for college tomorrow! Before I forget, all of those old school games and system still work! WOOO! Have fun and spameth on my blog if you will! :D

EDIT: The Bears found a way but they just beat the Broncos. Last I checked it was tied. Then I saw that the Bears won in Overtime by a field goal. Unbelieveable.

So, here I be. In my parents' house. This is taking a while for me to write since I have huge lag issues with the typing here. I type something and it shows up about 20 seconds later. It is quite alright though. I'm dealing with it just fine. I found my awesome box of old school games that my mom was telling me about. They are more beautiful than I remembered them to be. I was so happy that she found them. Now when I move out next year, I can take them with me. I will take my awesome cat with me too. Nibbles, the male counterpart of Xena, katamari's cat is asleep on my lap. I will put up pictures when I return to the college in which I am staying at. That's something to look forward to.

Since I found my old school box of games, I wish I hadn't brought my Wii. Well, I'm also glad that I did. Considering that Super Mario Galaxy is the best game for the Wii since Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I am loving every minute of it. It's 3D platforming at its best. Amazing I tells ya! :D Yet, before I leave, I have to check the status of the old games. If they all still work, I'll be overjoyed. As Rock Band is impressing everyone (including me!), it's something that I know I want to get in on. I have enjoyed it more than any GH game. That was just on playing it in Best Buy with bad controllers. We'll see what happens. I have spent my money on Galaxy (no regrets), and I'll save up for it. After December of course, family time of insanity!

That's about all there is for me to say. I'm just getting agrivated with the horrid slowness of this computer. Have a wonderful week everyone! :D

"It's hard to beat someone when they don't give up."
- Babe Ruth

That time of the year where I have no school for a week is coming up. It's actually here already, but I have pounds of papers to finish. I have stories to read and respond to as well. It's going to be an insane trip. Going back home to the family once more will be wild. Especially for a week. My room is now a storage room from what I heard. Their internet is a slow as the turtles on the Comcast commericals. I'm going to sleep a lot of the time. No reason to get excited or up for anything when you are back with your family. They are simpleminded people who have the unfortunate task of going to the doctor every other week. Cutting costs and using a wood burning heater. :shock: Living in the middle of an Indiana property. 14 acres of trees and corn. Dad works, mom bingos, my dog's legs aren't working but she isn't in pain so she's still with us 15 years later, my cat Nibbles will be very happy to see me. I will have the awesome task of cleaning. Which will be a joy. No problem really. I'll also get to take a look at the box of memories I mentioned in an earlier blog. I hope that they are alright. I'm thinking of bringing my Wii with me so I can get some good quality time with Mario. I plan on picking up Galaxy tomorrow. We'll see what happens. :)

In other news, PJ24 has his interview of yours truely on his blog. :D He has some witty comments, as always, to say. Which the last comment was shocking to me at least. Also, I have a criminal record? :? I asked him about it on my comment. He doesn't have to worry about his PS3. I'll get one of my own once the games start coming in. Especially with the Dual Shock returning. It is also interesting that s0njas0n and I nearly had the same experience. She was lucky but I sure wasn't. :oops: Want to know what I am talking about? Go check it out!! :)

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Gooble Gobble Gobble!!! Turkey Spam on my blog if you must. :D

EDIT: I was just reminded that I was an illegal alien. And that gives me a criminal record. I forgot about that. My stupid memory gave me a loop, lol. Thanks s0njas0n!

Might as well put these two blogs together. I thought that it would be easier on everyone. I'm starting with a quote of awesomeness, yay awesomeness.

"Why does goo float?" (In Reference to a Lava Lamp)

I went to Best Buy today to try out the game of Rock Band. I first tried Guitar Hero 3 which was okay. The guitar was a bit stiff and the pick thingy was unresponsive at times. The Whammy Bar, surprisingly felt natural and was very pleased to see its reaction. I played a couple songs and the layout was alright. The Star Power went by too fast though in my opinion. Even when I built it up to its highest peak. Overall it was an okay experience. It just didn't feel like the Guitar Hero that I remember. But I did have some fun with it.

Then I went on to play some Rock Band! The first thing I tried was the guitar. I must say that it was the most amazing guitar I've picked up out of all the guitars I've played. It felt like the real thing. The buttons felt wonderful on my fingers and I enjoyed shredding on the lower frets during solos. Amazing. The only thing I felt strange about, was that you had to hold down the pick when you did the long notes. This normally would have been a issue. They extended the whammy bar so you can use it with your fingers. Not a big deal. I liked the wah wah switch thingy too. A great addon to the guitar. Next up was the drums. A lot sturdier than I expected. It was pretty cool. My problem is finding a way to play them. I can't do so well. I got a 60 percent on easy. Woo work. The mic was good too. It felt like a real mic. It's sensitve to touch so it was pretty cool to play the tambourine with it. Again, I'm not very good at singing. I did just as good with the singing as I did with the drums. I need practice, lol. It was a fun experience and my dad even joined in once. Awesome stuff.

Now, the Cartoon Network blog! Yay!

First up, is the Powerpuff Girls. One of my favorites. 3 awesome ladies with superpowers who can kick butt! What I loved about these girls is that they have their own perks. Bubbles can speak to squirrells. Blossom was a natural leader. Buttercup is a full blown tomboy. They were girls with their own things. What else draws me to them is that they have flaws too. They aren't superheroes who are always mighty and strong and can save the day. Sometimes, even the bad guys saved the day. Pretty sweet. Bubbles was shy and sensitive. Blossom was narrowminded. Buttercup had a love for money. They had some real personality. That's what I find to lack in some heroes. Once again, the day was saved by

SUPERCOW! Al rescate!" Cow and Chicken was one of the first crazy cartoons ever. Leading the way for Aqua Teen Hunger Force and others. I think that this show was brilliantly stupid. It's hard to pull off, but Cow and Chicken and Ren and Stimpy are able to do it with a strong fashion. There was an episode where Cow's best friend becomes a fly and she sticks it to her tongue via peanut butter. "Look Chicken, it's my new best friend!".. "What? A Raisin?" It's just insane. I miss it though. It does what it does so well, just like

It's so funny it hurts. There's a stupid one, there's a smart one, and there's a money hungry one. Together they make craziness in their cul-de-sac and it's always overly elaborate. What's funny about this is that, it always haunts them. The jokes always fall back on the Eds. They get a chance to get free jawbreakers and fate turns against them. There's a character named Rolf who makes me laugh everytime. He's a kid who arrived from some old world country. He has insane ways of life and it shows most definitely. "That's My Horse" is a folk song that he enjoys. Mostly because he can hurt someone with it. This show is always my favorite out of them all. There's others which I haven't named. They will go in the Notable Mentions. If I forgot anything you knew, let me know. I'll add them. :) Have a wonderful week everyone and spamity all over my blog if you will. :D

Global warming is insane. Especially in Indiana. I've been noticing this for the longest time. I just haven't wrote about it. Considering that this is a gaming blog and well, I should talk about games. I'll do that after this.

We had summer all the way up to November 1st. It was 100 degrees everyday. Unbelieveable right? In October, it should start to get cooler gradually. No, not really. Now it's November 7th, and it's 20 degrees! What just happened? Fall is not fall anymore it seems. It's some sort of hybrid. I miss the days where when you went outside in the fall where it was about 60 degrees, and you could wear a sweater without a coat. That just doesn't happen very often anymore and it makes me write this blog. Only we can save the world from excessive use of CO2.

Now that's done. I'm talking about games. What? Really? After 6 blogs of no game talk, here it is. Beautiful Katmari is so frustrating in getting 100%. I'm stuck at 97%. It's so irritating. I find new things and it counts, but it stays at 97%. I hope that I can eventually find everything. It's my goal for gaming this year. I also have a goal to rent Etenal Sonata and The Simpsons game, which I have yet to do of either one. Vix's blog with the pics, helped me realize that I must at least try it out before I go home for Thanksgiving break in two weeks. In the meantime, I'm rolling up stuff with my katamari and going with the flow. Not really having the time to do that, but I'll do my best.

Katamari has done an awesome job hyping the new Super Mario Galaxy and the old school games. I'm ready for that. It's going to be great! :D I'm also ready for some Brawl. Especially after I was informed about the level editor. Why didn't I know about this sooner, I don't know, but I'm glad I know now! It was PJ who announced that to me. Thanks for the info!

I also should do my Cartoon Network blog before I forget. >_> lol.

That's enough from me for now, remember to have fun and enjoy the ride. Don't forget to spam all over this blog. You know you want to! :D

You know, I was going to make this post back when the Boston Red Sox stole the Colorado Rockies' World Series, but I guess in a way I was fine with it. After all, the Sox took forever winning their championship back when the Cubs should have been in the World Series but fell on their faces. If my Cubs weren't going to win it, it had to be Boston. The Yankees pushed them down for too long and now they bounced back to win. That is amazing and all, but now they are finally a good team. Nothing wrong with that. They just won the World Series. I just think they robbed the Rockies. The Rocks worked hard to get there. Winning 22 out of 23 games to make it as a wild card. That wild card team had everything going for it until they had a 2 week off break. I must say that the rust settled in and destroyed their chances. The Red Sox swept the Rockies in a heartbreaking fashion. Something like that just isn't right to me.

Moving on, the Boston Celtics, is a team I've always respected. They had my favorite star, Larry Bird, rolling in the dice. Mr. Bird is the Indiana legend of basketball. No doubt about it. We, Hoosiers, take pride in our basketball. But the way that the Celts acquired Kevin Garrent and Ray Allen sort of demeans a lot of things. You take away the only thing Seattle had going for it. Now they'll have to rely on Mike Conley Jr. Conley is a good Indiana player, but he needs someone to help him. I was hoping that Allen could show him the way. That won't happen. It's all in regaining the "Big 3". Then winning lots and lots of championships. That's all great and all, but isn't a World Series win good enough? Well, not really, go figure.

Now the final straw. The New England Patriots have defeated my Indianapolis Colts. They barely did it. Even when we were at half strength and you could cut our offensive line like a cake. We found a way to strive them off for 3 and a half quarters. In the end, the Patriots finally got the win after breaking my heart once more. Manning and the boys did their best, and I must say, they really showed that the Patriots are vunerable. Just need to look into it differently, no one should not be intiminated by their record or their stupid running up the score bull poop. We nearly won, even without our top guys. I'm not taking this win personally, after all. It's not a Playoff game. What makes me angry is the fact that the Patriots were feeling bad about it. They said, "we have to improve, we suck" blah blah blah... I don't think so. You nearly lost but you won, there's no need for moping. You took my half powered Super Bowl XLI champions out. If they go on to win the whole thing, go 18-0, and still complain. I won't watch the NFL ever again.

Nothing against Boston or their fans, but its teams are trying to be dominate. That's all it is. I just wish that the trophies could be spread out and they can stop hogging the glory. It throws out all the other players. All those other teams that work so hard and get nothing in return. It's just unfair to me.
