It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here of real relevance.

…actually, since i’ve posted anything here, period.

I’ve been restricted of time lately. I started college, which has been a lot of fun..

AND ITS BEEN A LOT OF WORK TOO, MIND YOU.

I remember when my High School Guidance Counselor told me:
“Oh yea, college is just like highschool, cept the classes are really far away from each other, the teachers are called ‘professors’, and the girls get REALLY REALLY drunk. “

…yeaaa.. Not so much, counselor.

But other than that, thing’s have been goin really great!

I got a new job as a File clerk for a car dealership, filin’ repair orders..

Just a real cleansing experience.

As I start to settle in to all these changes, I promise to you I shall post incredibly more often.

Probably once every two days, I think.

This whitey’s got a lot to vent.

Live life loud.

K, so for those who may/may not have known, I drive a Volkswagen Beetle.

Ah yes.. the iconic automobile of the 60s and 70s, mind you

and I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve been working on it a while, and its starting to show.

One of the many details that I’ve put towards the vehicle (kudos to my brother) is a Stinger Exhaust system.

Now, think about it and realize what Im saying.

Its an exhaust.

Stinger.

BLAM IT LUK LIEK THIS!~1

I just got my license, and everything was great. Went to work to cash my check, and on my way home I get pulled over.

[Officer Dick] How’s it goin?

Pretty good, you?

[Officer Dick] I’m good, do you know why I pulled you over?

Not sure officer, I wasn’t speeding was I?

[Officer Dick] No, and considering this is a… well a uhm.. beetle, I wouldn’t consider that. I could hear you all the way from The Islands.

Whoa. Whoa.

He pulled me over right in front of my subdivision, Lonesome Dove. Quite a ways.

[Officer Dick] Got any license or registration for this vehicle, sir?

Its Tanner, and yes I do.

I give him my freshly laminated license from my pocket, prepared to die, and I fish around my glovebox for my registration.

I dont have it.

Its in my house.. about 20 feet away on the counter, and he wont let me get it.

[Officer Dick] I’m sorry sir, I cannot let you do that. Now, I’m gonna give you a warning about the exhaust until you fix it, but I’m gonna give you a $116.50 for Failure to Provide Proof of Insurance, ok? Lemme go back into my cruiser to file the ticket.

The whole time this goes by, my neighbors are all staring at me like they dont know whats going on. But they do. They’re all real funny like that.

10 minutes pass, along with 10 of my favorite friends..

…And I get my first ticket.

The End.

Get Ownt.

Now I gotta show up to court..

say “LUK LOL IM INSURD”

and they let me go.

Frets on Fire may be too leet for Activision

tanzor — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 03:39:44 +0000

Recent news articles about the Finnish gamedev company Unreal Voodoo are really making me sad.

For those who do not know, Frets on Fire is a clone of Guitar Hero, but its for PC, and you use the F1-5 keys to rock out.

Except nobody, (including me) grasped the reality that has become known as

COPYRIGHTOMGINFRINGEMENT: n. When one stuck-up company decides to take out smaller bait with ludicrous remarks and heinous accusation.

See, if you go out onto Piratebay, isohunt, or whereever you get your torrents and look up “FoF”, you’re gonna get ownt with packs of songs that Activision calls their own.

WRONG.

If Activision sez that they own the songs that are WRITTEN PLAYED AND RECORDED by the band/artist, wouldnt one get entirely ownt with COPYRIGHTOMGINFRINGEMENT all the same?

There are many things that don’t make sense in the world.

Can’t genuinely awesome video game clones be an exception?

10 Reasons why Second Life beats WoW anyday

tanzor — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 19:35:53 +0000

There are few who disagree with me when I say I love to play Second Life.

For those who do not know, Second Life (me and Debian call it Sexond Life) is an mmo ran entirely and created by its players. “Residents” can build and script anything they can imagine using the built-in-world editor, and sell it in Second Life’s own fluid economy, the Second Life Exchange, or SLX.

The limits are literally endless, mainly for the fact that it is run openly to the public.

Annddd then there’s World Of Warcraft.

You all know what I’m talking about.

The fact that everyone has OMFGLVL70 ROGUES

is pointless. Last time I checked, there is no fun in posting character sheets,

raiding servers,

looking for groups.

I would honestly rather sit in a chair, drink a cup of hot coffee, and catch up with friends across the country. Hell, even the world.

That is what I mean by endless.

So here’s a list of reasons why Second Life is better than WoW.

1. Open-ended virtual reality

Can you build your own world in WoW? Uhm, NO.

2. Not everyone is a 43 yr. old guy

Yea, you got some 24 year olds too…FEMALES

I know its hard to grasp the reality of getting some action, but please. Try.

3. You can get PAID for what you build!

What you build or resell can get you some big-boy bucks, really easily with SLX.

4. Less Crowded

There are actually places where you can be by yourself and do your own thing. A lot of players really like that, since WoW you’re practically bombarded with freaking noobs all the time.

5. Second Life doesnt get blocked.

Ever been on WoW at school? Yea, you get pwnt.

You can get on all the Second Life websites and/or client at school.

6. Its funny.

There are a lot of people who take WoW way too seriously.

Second Life is basically just a gigantic international party.

My friends who play are always messing around.

7. You can buy land for extremely cheap.

I’m right now in the process for buying land. MY OWN LAND.

No more “oh lol private server” crap. This turf is mine. I can do whatever I want with it too.

8. Juan plays WoW.

YUH

9. Cage gun ftw!

You could seriously kill 10 hours caging people in sandboxes. There is nothing like it. Just pure ecstasy.

10. Noobs dont last

Most noobs who decide to grief/blitz veteran residents are immediately reported. There is no tolerance for griefers…. unless you’ve been around the block AND/OR pretend to own the land. Ha.

SO there you have it. 10 Reasons why Second Life > WoW.

Let the controversy begin!

You know what I find funny?

Well dammit I’m the one talking here so STUFIT

I find it funny how in Nampa,

not sure about everywhere else..

We take a lot of stuff for granted.

Maybe its just me.

Hell, maybe I’m right.

…but I feel that the student body is a tad snob.

We drive our cars to school,

our BRAND NEW SCHOOL..

peel out in corners, run over poles..

Its a joke.

I’m sure if Mr. T was in town, he’d go A-Team on Columbia High.

There are the few core classes of freaking idiots out there

who see a line of Caution tape

decide for a second

then PLOW THROUGH it, miraculously

and think nothing of it.

This isnt good practice.

I feel that if you’re gonna be a dumbass behind the wheel, it should slap you in the face before you even get behind it in the first place.

Maybe it’s just me.

Valentine’s Day

tanzor — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 06:02:33 +0000

Valentine’s Day is quite possibly the most depressing day to be both single and tired at the same time.

I had to work today, and I knew it. I really was hoping something cataclysmic would happen like.. idk..

Some random holiday like Albertson’s Appreciation Day would be signed into law..

Forcing all employees to get up and go home …

But that didnt happen. I still had to go to work, still had to bag groceries, still had to rock the tucked-in undershirt.

And to top that, I had to lock on a smile wrapping large sums of floral delight for customers, and I had nothing.

This always gets to me this time of the year.. Oh how I hate it so.

Last time I checked, Albertson’s Appreciation Day > Chocolate.

and hearts.

…Singing balloons

…Roses..

It only serves to divide those who have being single, and those who are loving someone.

But what happens to those who are stuck in between lust and life?

What happens to the elite of romantic epiphany?

That’s what I want to know.
