Zerg Rush

I can't stop playing or thinking about Starcraft.

Me, Sean, and Ken started playing it again a couple weeks ago. We moved on from that to Warcraft III. Then we moved on to the next logical step, Diablo II. Ken and Sean are playing it right now as I type this and prepare to leave for class. But when I get back I want to play more Starcraft. I've just started the Zerg campaign and it's rockin. So basically one company keeps this 3 man apartment entertained.


Yeah, nice logo Blizzard but I swear you guys will be the death of me. If I start playing World of Warcraft I am afraid of what might happen to me. *Pet peeve: When people eat cereal and clang the spoon against the bowl. My gosh. Yes Ken if you are reading this I am referring to you. He just clanked it 5 times in a row*


American Idol tomorrow night. IS EXCITED!

Here are some random quizzes on Starcraft I took. Oh man I am into this.
Tassadar
You are most like: High Templar Tassadar.

Hailing from the distant Protoss Homeworld of Aiur,
High Templar Tassadar was in command of the
fleet ordered to prevent the spread of the
Zerg in the Terran Sector. He disobeyed the
orders of the conclave, yet saved his
homeworld by purging from it the twisted
Overmind, though it cost him his own life.

Which StarCraft Hero are you most like?


S.V.
Science Vessel. You're more into the tactics and
research than fighting, but you still got
some moves.
What Starcraft unit are you?

Thank you Taylor Hicks

It took three years but it has finally happened again.

Back in season 2 of American Idol that was an unbelievable amount of buzz before the finals had even begun about Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard. Then they performed and week after week excelled into star status.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Taylor Hicks.


The thing I respect the most out of this guy (other than his talent and likability) is the fact that he has been able to do what only has been done once before in 5 years of this show and that is get people talking. I truly hope that this will continue and Taylor will continue to impress us. He has finally given the media something to actually talk about and a reason for everyone to tune in. I can't tell you how much I like it when something good gets "buzz." It gets me excited, and when I'm excited, I'm happy.

So you are hearing it here from me, the name Taylor Hicks will be repeatedly heard by everyone in America in the coming weeks, he will be a ratings giant for Fox, and if he somehow gets into the Final 2 with Ace Young - we may see the Apocalypse.

I can't wait to see this guy continue to rock on through the show. Tomorrow I think I will post about my recent obsession with all games made by Blizzard.

Starcraft


Ok so since I have moved in with Ken and Sean I have been playing a lot more computer games. If you are down like a clown you gots to play Star Wars: Empire at War, Commandos Strike Force, and Starcraft.

We have been having these all out onslaught Starcraft games. The debate is - does Sean win because he doesnt move and fortifies himself in with Turrets, or does Butner win who has the highest score at the end of the game and attacks (and obliterates) all opponents equally? It's a weak argument I know but still, Sean insists.

So we got Dan in on the action tonight and him, Sean, and myself fought for an hour and twenty minutes until I won. Yeah I'm getting pretty cocky at this game and I'm getting pretty tight with the Protoss. Tomorrow I will probably start up the single player and hack through that. Hopefully I will get the surprise I have been waiting for for so long you wouldn't believe but I'm trying not to have unrealistic expectations.

Peace Nicaraguans

Fervent Ferret

My life isn't spiraling out of control. I wish there was a way to make yourself feel one way and not another. Motivation is key to winning at life in general.

I woke up this morning knowing I had a presentation that I had stayed up late the night before working on. It was done I needed but print it out and go to class. But what did I do? I decided to take the minor grade hit and fell back asleep not waking again until about 1 o'clock to the knocking of Deakins. I wish this was something knew to me but it's not. I really just do not care about school anymore. I'm not a lazy or unmotivated person by any means. I am a fervent ferret when it comes to doing things that I think are cool or important or a passion of mine. But I've been missing half of myself for about 7 months now and hardly anything is important to me.
