So this weekend at my mom’s house I cleaned out my brother’s old room (since he’s too lazy a jerk face to do ANYTHING!) He recently switched rooms in the house and I found all types of artifacts including my Nintendo… sans zapper, Sega Genesis, a few Super Nintendo cartridges (Super Nintendo is MIA because my bro is also a seller of things that are not his), along with those games were a few Nintendo 64’s… although only the only games were 007 and Zelda.

So upon tossing most of it away to the trash I kept my Nintendo and all the games for good old fashioned 8-bit fun.

Today I plugged it all in and the shit worked! My controllers are a little busted but the do work with the occasional stabbing of the start button with a hair pin. The game selection is not what it used to be (I did mention my brother has issues respecting other people’s property). I am missing all the goods ie: Mike Tyson’s Punch Out, Mario/Duck Hunt, Cobra Triangle, Contra, Double Dragon, Battle Toads… it’s all missing.

Once it was all connected to the flat screen I was completely stoked to see that I started my Nintendo by holding the Power and Reset button at the same time! I had not done that in years, I even blew into the cartridge as a precautionary measure.  I started off with Dr. Mario and got pretty far before my ass was handed to me.

Overall I can safely say that the original Nintendo is the bomb. I have a bunch of crappy games and I love them, every single one of those 8 bits and that awesome sound. The soundtracks to these games are awesome I find myself now typing to the tune of Sky Shark.

Either way I don’t need a $500 gaming system to be content. I was told Game Stop’s carry all types of games and accessories for the Nintendo system. I may go see if they have any of the classics that are missing due to my brother being a total jerk with stuff that is ans was never his.

Oh yeah also it’s been hot as balls down here these past days. We are all dying very slowly so let’s all love one another 🙂

With the death of Frosty Freeze and now Charlton Heston it’s safe to say Death has had a busy week. Heston was a nut and I feel for his folks, Alzheimer’s is not the way to go. I remember my Grandma having moments where she didn’t know who I was, then she’d remember and then forget hours later. It was really scary as a child. I just remember thinking ‘Grandma it’s me, Chris” and not really understanding she was sick.

I will spend the day today watching the classics and having a drink for old Heston. His movies were great and he lived great life. So I will celebrate his life in film and remember him doing one of the things he did best. These three fingers are for you Charlton.

Boy is it cool. I am a bit bummed the flickr plugin is being troublesome with it though. Till it is fixed I have held back updating my site. I really like the flickr plugin and it would suck to not have it. Also on a side note the store will no longer be a part of my site as I really never add anything to it, I originally intended to sell paintings and random hand made plush but I really don’t have time to make cool stuff ever. The small bits of stuff I make are always gifts to make up for the fact I’m a cheap bastard and never want to spend money unless it’s on myself (toys, bourbon, fiji… the important things).

Here is one of the funniest things I seen all week.

Today I went to a dentist for the first time in a little over six years and to my great surprise I had not one single cavity! I am blessed with my father’s teeth. My mom was recently complaining that my dad would eat all types of sweets and soda and would never get cavities.

The main reason I went was because my fang teeth are sort of disintegrating at the gum line, I thought it was tooth decay or something and have pretty much not had soda or candy for about a year and half now. Finally I said F it and went to go get a cleaning and an x-ray before it got any worse. Turns out I brush too hard and have worn off my enamel and am now well on my way to brushing to the root!!! I never saw myself as such a barbaric brusher but they said I need to use soft brushes and recommended me some fancy electronic brush (rotadent).

On a not so good note my dentist said my gums seem extremely tender and swollen and thinks I may need a deep cleaning which involves numbing my mouth and scraping nice and hard to kill any potential plaque that may be under the gum line. It does not sound fun at all and is quite expensive ($191.00 per quadrant of my mouth, that includes a discount since I don’t have insurance) but really I was not so upset because the girl who told me had really nice teeth and an awesome rack 😯

Speaking of racks I recently ate at this place called Phil’s BBQ and I swear to you as a prissy bastard who usually refuses to get his hands dirty and has at times been seen eating ribs with a knife and fork… these were the best damn ribs I have ever eaten. I dug in with hands and face. They were so good I have spent the last two days yelling the word “RIBS!!!” every five hours or so. I can still smell them at random times throughout the day. Their boneless chicken wasn’t all that though, it totally tasted like lighter fluid. Oddly enough I liked the flavor as much as I disliked it. It was confusing so I figure the ribs were better because there was no doubt in my mind, once I bit into the first rib and all the meat slid off I was sold.

This is an article my old lady brought to my attention earlier this morning. Awful news that for some reason didn’t surprise me one bit. I took a little passage out that included my favorite line in the whole article.

“Water providers rarely disclose results of pharmaceutical screenings, unless pressed, the AP found. For example, the head of a group representing major California suppliers said the public “doesn’t know how to interpret the information” and might be unduly alarmed.”

If I see Amy Poehler do another Hillary Clinton next week I will begin writing hate mail.

That is all.
