Letting the hate outta our hearts, one blog at a time.
Guitar Hero is not for Old People.
Dec 27th
So I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! I went home this year (the first time in a long time I was able to hang out for Christmas with the fam). My nephew got Guitar Hero III for his Playstation 3. I had heard and seen this game but never played it.
Not gonna lie. I am bad. If it was on easy mode, I could do it.. lets say.. easily. Push it up to medium and add that 4th button and my mind and fingers didn’t move that fast.
My other nephew Mike, (Who didn’t own the PS3) was able to play the Metallica song “One” on expert right out of the gate. The speed that those little button-thingies flew across the screen and his ability to keep up amazed me a little. I had no problem pressing the buttons but having to strum the bridge and press them at the same time was what kicked my ass.
He told me to check YouTube when I got home as there were some crazy videos of folks playing it.. He was right. Check this nutty shit out.
Boredom and a Scanner, BAD Combo!

Editor Note: This is a happy post! My hate has gone missing. If you have seen it please call the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
Well.. I couldn’t think of anything to write about today so I decided to try to arrange some the crap I have laying around the new house (I say new, I have lived here since June!).
So I am digging through the treasure trove of boxes from Mom’s garage and I found a gold mine! My 5th and 6th grade yearbooks! Reading back over want people wrote was hilarious but the moment was fleeting. One can only read so many “TTL! BFF!” and “Stay Cool this Summer!” or “You are cute and sweet!”
I did find a picture that brought back some memories! My first love! My first Kiss! My first pair of… um… roller skates for couple-skate! I don’t know what happened to her, but if you know, please let me know! You will always hold special place in your heart for your first love! You can tell that I REALLY loved her from the heart drawn around her picture. Back then that meant practically married (I hope I don’t have to pay back alimony)! We “went steady” for about 2 years off and on and her yearbook signing stated “I love you, come hang out this summer and going swimming sometime (anytime!)”. Ahhh.. young love. ::::tear::::
As I dug further through the boxes I found another picture from my youth. I did a stint as a Electronics Liquidator. I would bid on equipment from companies upgrading or going under and then sell off the parts for more money. My buddy Frank and I stumbledupon a once in a lifetime deal where we had already had buyers for the stuff before making a bid on it and we were going to make a $28,900 profit. So what does a 21 year old do with the $14,000? Buys a boat of course! It was a well worth it. Not gonna lie. This is a pic of me (in the Adidas hat), my unbelievably drunk friend, and um.. er.. um.. Damn it. I can’t remember her name. I was drunk a lot that summer. I can describe the tattoo she had in a NSFW spot though so that makes it OK!
No.. this is not the Partridge Family. It is mine! I am that sexy 3 foot beast of manliness on the left. And no, my oldest brother was NOT in Warrant. We look so happy there. It is amazing we are all still alive. My sister next to me and my brother on the far right are actually my step-siblings. I don’t see them that way but they are. My mother married my step dad when I was 3 so they are all I have ever known. Looking at this picture makes me think about something my mother said to my late stepfather once. They made a deal when they got married that they would each discipline their own children. He was very strict and my mom is very laid back. After we had all grown up they were sitting on the back porch talking. She calmly looked at him and said, “You know, You raised your kids strict, and me laid back but you know what?” “What’s that,” he replied. “They are all equally fucked up.” Love you too mom!
Well there you have it. My day of treasure hunting. And the thing is I never did get the crap put up. Oh well, there is always tomorrow.
Policemen Shoot and Kill a Moron Holding Only a Brush
Nov 13th
CNN.com reports that New York City Police shot and killed an 18 year-old boy armed with only a hairbrush. The kid was heard on the 911 call from his mother yell “I’ve got a gun!”
So the cops show up he is coming at them hiding his hands (I told you about this in my other post!) and they put 20 slugs into his ass. I see nothing wrong with this. Tragic? Yes. However this probably saved the good people of New York from having to support him with tax dollars when he went to prison later for being retarded.
Now read down the article and notice the quotes from the witnesses and neighbors. I will copy the meat and potatos for you.
“The boy didn’t have no gun, he had a brush on him,” said Andre Wildman, a neighbor.
Andre gives us a well thought out, grammar-filled account of what went down. Thank you Andre.
Wayne Holder, said police should be required to see a weapon before opening fire on a suspect. “At least see a gun before you start to discharge it,” Holder said. “Police don’t even have to see it, if they think you got one, you’re going to get shot.”
Wayne Holder gives us another key point. My guess is that Wayne doesn’t quite understand how guns work. If you have one pointed at you and you hear a bang, about .3 seconds after you hear it, you are going to feel a sharp pain like that of a truck hitting you going 60 miles/hour.
I don’t fault the cops here at all. Lets recap what we do know.
- Cops get 911 call (people in need and danger call 911).
- Cops hear man in background yelling, “I’ve got a Gun!”
- Cops show up to find man pacing in the house with his mother outside (who called 911).
- Man comes out of a window holding something black.
- Cops tell man to drop said item.
- Man raises hand towards police in a threatening motion.
- Cops shoot man A LOT.
Please tell me that if you were in the same situation you wouldn’t have shot. Anyone that says otherwise is a liar (liberal pansies not included). Cops aren’t in the business of getting shot. Waiting for this guy to shoot first, if he had a gun, could have gotten a police offer, or worse, an innocent bystander hurt or killed. That is unacceptable. He was giving a lawful order to drop that he had and chose to raise his hand. This guy wanted to die. Suicide by police. I am sorry for the pain his family is having to go through with the loss but I will not shed a tear for this jerk.
