Steven's Blog

So I got the new 3rd generation iTouch! I’m actually typing this blog post on right now with mywordpress app. It’s a really neat device, It does all I want it to do plus more. An imense gadget and technology geek like me appreciates this thing more than the usual users. Mostly because it’s more than an iPod, it’s a mini pocket computer. Especially if you can hack it and/or use it’s functions.

My life is pretty good right now, in case you care. School is going so good. I was invited to go to an international business summit last week which was awesome. So many opportunities are coming up! I really miss Yovia, but I could never keep my grades up if I stayed there. I miss all of the fellow employees!

Well, I haven’t updated in a while but I may be updating quite often now. For those readers who don’t know I do not work at Yovia anymore. Work got in the way of school and my education is more important. Yovia was such an awesome work environment. The people were just as nice as they could be and made me feel very welcome. I thanks Yovia for the job and the opportunity. I hope to be able to come back during Winter Break, Summer Break and other holidays. Thanks everyone for being so nice to me and thank you Jalali and Tiffany for the job. =] I will definitely recommend you guys to anyone.

I had a very tired, very exciting and very awesome weekend. It all started off with Zombie Night. Seriously guys, if you can find a girl that likes Zombies, then your good for life. Ashleigh is just so awesome, she threw a party for Zombies where we watched Dawn of the Dead, Shawn of the Dead (Comedy, yeah I know) 28 Weeks Later and we didn’t have enough time for 28 Weeks Later. On Saturday I was pretty sick, yet I still volunteered at Eureka Garden’s Seeds of Hope and went to go visit my friend Jonlin at the airport, even though I could not see her. I managed to get Clay, Vigo and John sick, even though I have allergies… -_- Then my birthday was on Sunday and I had a nice small party with only my best friends. It was awesome! Ash got me 2 books and a shirt (Thank you Baby!) and some of my other friends got me other stuff like XBOX Live cards, Microsoft Point cards, and other stuff. Thank you everyone for coming to my party and for making my brithday a very exciting and awesome day! =D

Today is Friday. Good things happen on Friday, after all, I asked Ash if she wanted to be my girlfriend on a Friday. =D  Today is Zombie Night at Ash’s house. She’s having around 7 or 8 people come over for like 7 hours, to just watch zombie movies all night. It going to be sweet! I’m not exactly feeling my best right now, my head is pounding, I’m stressed, worried and I have a bit of a sore throat, but ‘ going away, thankfully.

In two days of having Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero, I went from sucking, to playing certain songs on hard. Haha! Rock Band is addicting. So is GTA 4, there nothing better than ramming your Ferrari into a small wall and flying through the windshield or landing your helicopter on the Empire State Building and blowing crap up with your Rocket Launcher! Add me, my gamertag is: Steven Failz

Remember that XBOX 360 I told you guys I was going to get? Well… I got it. Its awesome! All except the fact that I can’t play it yet, because I need an AV Cord… -_- Haha! I am leaving work early today to go one of my best friend’s birthday party. I couldn’t really miss it, so I have to take time off from work. lol I just thought I would let you guys see my new gadget, since I’ve been popping gadgets out like crazy!

I am so excited last night I was wondering what I could buy with $250 dollars, so I went to go browse the web. I went to so many different places and I found a lot of very expensive stuff that I wanted.  I decided you know what, I really don’t care if it’s used or not, so I went to Craigslist and I saw some good deals and all. Then I saw one listing that said XBOX 360 and I decided you know what I’m going to get an XBOX 360. I searched for it on Cragslist and I saw an amazing deeal that I couldn’t give up: a Halo Edition XBOX 360, 20GB HD, 2 Halo Edition Wireless Controllers, 2 Guitars, Rock Band 1 and 2, Guitar Hero World Tour, GTA 4 and a couple of other games including Marvel Ultimate Alliance. All for $250! I was like “MINE!!!” Haha, I’m so excited. I called the guy and he said he still had it and would let me test it at his house before buying it and I should be going over there after work today to go test it and get it.

I am going to try and save up two of my paychecks and some possible birthday money to get a nice flat screen TV. I have one, but it’s sorta small. I’m hoping to get a 32 inch Flat Screen for about $350 – $400 and have an extra $150 or so left to get some possible new games and my school supplies.

Christopher McCandless AKA "Alexander Supertramp"

I finished reading the book and decided to watch the movie last night. Reading the book was really interesting. This book just takes Jack London’s Call of the Wild and throws it against the wall and screams ” PWNED!” Hahaha! That’s how I would describe it. It’s a really awesome story about a troubled guy who hates all of the problems his parents have and have given him. He leaves everything behind, donates all of his savings to Oxfam and goes on an Adventure to Alaska….from West Virginia. He changes his name to Alexander Supertramp and burn all of his documentation and money. He meets people and goes to places that changes the way he sees life and the world. The movie really brought the book to life, it was a bit different at times, but almost 100% accurate to the book. A must read book and a must see film.

Pineapple Express was a pretty good movie. I was not expecting this movie to have a plot. I expected a funny but stupid movie, like Napoleon Dynamite. It was pretty good, James Franco played a drug dealer and Seth Rogan played a pot smoking server. Basically Dale Denton ( Seth Rogan) witnesses a murder and goes to his drug dealer for help and they are running from the cops and the murderer who tracks him down by the blunt Dale left on the road, which happens to be the same kind of Marijuana that the murderer sells. This movie is so funny, you have to see it if you enjoy these kind of movies. By the way the best quote of the movie:

“Thug Life!” – Red (Drug Dealer)

I decided that ever since I put on the Q-Link my life has really changed and partially started to fall apart. Today is the first day that I took it off. I decided to see whether or not it will help at all. It sure can’t hurt….. I know that what I am doing is trying to find something to blame my spiraling life on and chose to blame the Q-Link instead of myself…. That’s the worst part about it. I’ll keep you guys updated on how that goes. I’ll get some new Tech and Science stuff up by tomorrow and that Harry Potter Review too.

I am having some problems in life… Hopefully I can get them all straightened up and it will all be okay. But enough of me, I told you this because it may get in the way of watching Harry Potter tonight. I am going to try my best to make it over to the theatres and watch it, I can’t wait to go see it. I will be posting a review whenever I see it.
