LoL

No not laugh out loud, recently I've been playing alot of a game called League of Legends. Its kind of a mix between Diablo and Starcraft. The gameplay is very similar to Diablo, but each game is like 20-45 minutes long and you start at level 1 each game. Thats not to say there isn't incentives to continue to play. As you play, you have an overall Level that goes up based on experience from games won, and you also get points to buy stuff. You can buy stuff like more characters, or runes which give you additional attributes like (+.25% attack speed).

One of the major downsides of the game is getting stuck with noobs, or not being able to surrender early. You have to wait until the 25 minute mark to have a surrender vote which seems like an eternity when your teammates are running in and getting owned (and feeding the opponents) over and over.

All in all, the game is a blast, and I highly recommend it.

Pain

Have you ever woken up and not been able to turn your head to one side or the other. Well, I am currently experiencing this. I have self-diagnosed myself (you see how I did that) with a pinched nerve. Now, how I got this pinched nerve in my neck I do not know. I just know that it hurts and its hurts bad. I tried everything I could to solve the problem this afternoon (I think all guys think that pain can be solved with either 1. drugs or 2. sleep). So I popped my last 3 Bayer pills and took a nap. When I woke up? Still hurt. If this continues I'll have to go see a doctor tomorrow.

I Wanna Be Liger... Tiger

Tiger Woods is sick. He's just not human. This week, he went in to the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational tied for the lead with 4 other guys. What does he do? Plays a solid round going in to the 72nd hole tied with one other player. The next THREE shots go like this. 3 Wood down the left hand side of the fairway. 6 Iron to 24 feet in the middle of the green. Then, with all of the pressure of the world on his shoulders, he sinks it!!! I mean I was shaking. There was so much on the line. Man, I would probably trade 5 years of my life for 1 day as Tiger.

Swan

Ok so my whole life, whenever I went to Rio to watch a movie, I just
assumed that the white geese were swans. I think when I was really
little I even thought the white ducks were swans even though they were
much smaller than the geese. Well today after my interview, I finally
saw a real life swan. No mistake about it. These things are huge.
Those smaller birds in the picture are regular sized pigeons. Like if
that swan stood up his head would prolly come up to my belt buckle.
Anyways, the interview went really well, and it looks like I'll be
spending at least a year in Norway. Pretty excited about the
opportunity, but at the same time, butt scared about living abroad by
myself.

Why nintendo?

This is the monster stack of wii's that I saw at an electronics store.
I don't know what nintendo is doing. They definitely need better
analysts determining the demand of their products. I guess these
things are a little pricey. That 2495 Nok is about 500 bucks. Then
again everything is more expensive here.

$$$

I know what you guys are thinking. Men, what's the big deal about
stores in airports. Well check this bad boy out. That's right, you are
not seeing things, that's a casino in the airport. Fine, I guess some
of you are still not impressed since we all know that LAS has some
slots. This place had a roullette table too. Haha, sweetass.

AmsterDAYAM

So you know how I just pumped up Dulles airport like 3 posts ago? Well
compared to the airport in Amsterdam, Dulles is some shack. Seriously,
this is a shot of the holiday decorations, but the most impressive
part of this place was the shops. They had real shops in there, and
people were actually buying stuff like digital cameras and stuff. I
took a look around, but the prices didn't look all that good to me.
Plus I can no longer justify buying a good number of gadgets because I
have the iPhone. Can't buy a digicam, mp3 player, PDA, phone, voice
recorder, and even like small portable laptops. By the way, I totally
unlocked my phone to work with a Norwegian sim card. Pretty excited
about this.
