This is hearkening back to the good-old waiting-for-the-next-Harry-Potter book days, and it’s probably been about six hours since I beat Half LIfe 2: Episode 2. Now I promised Anthony I wouldn’t talk about video games on here again, even though it probably makes up the bulk of what I do during the summer (that and volunteer), so I’ll leave with saying that waiting has never been easy. At least I didn’t get into this four years ago… now that must be real torture.
Alright, as for anything else interesting I did today… there is absolutely nothing. But, instead of cut this blog post incredibly short (I’ll never go less than a page on my Writer program), I’m going to go click ‘random’ on Wikipedia and talk about the first interesting page I find for the rest of the post.
Actually, I just randomed onto an article about a Japanese soccer player. That reminds me, all of you who were dropped at birth and believe America will ever recognize soccer as a sport… well… keep dreaming. The minority of Americans who can watch a full game of soccer without changing the channel were probably either born somewhere else or are the .000001 percent of Americans not afflicted with ADD. I’m serious, ADD is synonymous with American. But that’s not he point. The point is that the majority of American football fans like it because it’s grinding and smash-mouth. They can’t stand the fifty faked injuries though the course of a soccer game where the person will flop on the ground after behind tapped on the chin. Also… has anyone realized that the most unsatisfying ending to a game is a tie? Even a loss is more satisfying… at least you know that the other team was better. Ties are boring. This is why Americans will watch World Cup soccer, where they have some kind of a shootout in the event of a tie. Now just a personal problem… what’s with the shirt thing guys? Why do you have to rip your jerseys off every time you score a goal? I mean seriously, the reason kids here don’t watch soccer is that their parents don’t want them watching shirtless men run around a field. (That was internet sarcasm people). Now I think I’ve made my point, and burned fifteen minutes, so let us post a song and send you on your way.
SONG OF THE DAY: HALF LIFE 2 THEME
What? Did I just slip some more video game in there? Well actually this is a pretty awesome theme song with a really catchy piano line, so yeah. Why don’t you listen to it? Adios friends. And goodnight Freeman.
