Chicago: Glory of Love

Like a knight in shining armor
From a long time ago
Just the time I’d save the day
Take you to my castle far away

I am the man who would fight for your honor
I’ll be the hero that you’re dreamin’ of
Gonna live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the Glory of Love

Tonight at Medieval Times I will be Knighted… I WILL FINALLY BE ABLE TO SING THIS SONG AS AN ACTUAL KNIGHT. Dreams are coming true!

*I also just enrolled into a Karate class, so I can also sing this song as a Karate Kid… DOUBLE DREAMS COMING TRUE!!

They are sitting in a semi-circle around him as he is digging a post hole for his fence. One of them threw a ball in the hoel after he finished it, and it took him like half hour to get it out. He was so mad. Haha. They were out there buggin him the entire 3 1/2 hours I was there.

My dad is building this fence because the new next door neighbor kids are always bugging him. I thought it was pretty funny and ironic that they stood around him asking questions the whole time he was bulding it.

GOLDENEYE 64 on your PC!

I figured out how to put the best game of all time/any system, Goldeneye on my PC and play it with my PS3 controller. It was surprisingly easy and, of course, free.

1st- Go Here and Download the Emulator and Plugin A and Plugin B. Follow the instructions, because you will have to move a couple files around. Don’t worry, it’s easy.

2nd- Go Here and download the driver that makes your PS3 controller work on your computer. This could be handy for other computer games, btw. Here are the instructions for that part:

1. Download and install the filter driver (libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.10.1.exe).
2. Unpack ps3sixaxis_en.exe
3. Plug the SIXAXIS into your PC.
4. Run ps3sixaxis_en.exe once.
5. Push the PS button on the SIXAXIS once if it doesn’t see it straight away

If your controller doesn’t work, do this:

1. Place the “ps3sixaxis_en” file into the Windows/System32 folder
2. Go to start and then click Run
3. Type in CMD and a prompt should pop up
4. in the Prompt, type “ps3sixaxis_en” and hit enter
5. (keep the Game Controllers menu open under properties) and push the PS button
***Might want to shut ps3 off to prevent it from starting up***
6. By now u should be able to see that you can move the + in any direction!

3rd- Download the Goldeneye ROM and keep track of where it is. You will have to go under Options, Settings, Directories, and Add the directory where you will be storing all of your N64 ROMs. You can play any N64 ROM, btw, not just Goldeneye.

Last thing - you have to set your controls. I had a hard time deciding what I liked best, since the N64 controller is laid out differently. In the Mupen N64 program, go to Options, Input Settings to tell it which button you want to do what.

Do not move Mupen N64 out of the file it gets unzipped/installed to or it won’t work correctly. If you want an easy link, create a shortcut, instead.

I guess there are new maps and multiplayer online for it, as well. I am real excited to check that out.

Shotgun - No Scatter

I just realized that the Official Shotgun Rules do not even address the issue of scatter.

Star Crunch and Banana Mango

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:38:36 -0600

Posting that link to the official shotgun rules, reminded me of another fond teenage pastime. Star Crunches and Banana Mango. Only a quarter a peice. Little Debbie acually had a shitload of snacks that were only 25 cents each. I usually opted for the Oatmeal Cream Pies, but the brownies, Swiss Rolls, Strawberry Shortcakes, Moon Pies, Fudge Rounds, Donut Sticks, and Honey Buns (35¢) were all good, too. They are like 75¢ to a dollar, now. We would scrounge for change in car seats so we could get a Little Debbie snack fro the Clark station and a Banana Mango soda from the machine at the park. I couldn’t any reference to Banana Mango soda online. It was made by a company called Old Time Beverages. They had other flavors, too, but the Banana Mango was addictive. Must not make it, anymore.

Official Shotgun Rules

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:11:30 -0600

Official Shotgun Rules:

I am going to print these and leave them in my glove box. I have a couple amendments to make. This guide says that if the person with shotgun gets out, someone can steal it. I say that only applys if everyone gets out. Also, there is no mention of how often you can have shotgun. In my car, I go by the rules that everyone rotates shotgun, unless someone gives away their turn. Another rule I have is that the person in shotgun (assuming there are multiple passengers) has to work for it. Like if I have videos to return, they get out and drop them off. That sort of thing. That mainly applied when we were kids, though, and drove around for hours. I rarely have anyone call shotgun, anymore.

DEVO, What’s the story behind those red hats?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:35:13 -0600

Gerald Casale: The red hats (Energy Domes) were inspired by an Art Deco ceiling fixture at my elementary school and a ‘Cancellator Helmet’ from a Nancy comic. I turned the ceiling fixture upside down and redesigned it to fit a human head. I had it painted red like the helmet in the comic. I made up a story about how the ‘Energy Dome’ captured all the energy that escapes from the top of your head when you are expending energy and recycles it through your body.

Perception

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 02:23:58 -0600

Something to think about….

Washington, DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approximately. 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.

4 minutes later:

The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.

6 minutes:

A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.

10 minutes:

A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.

45 minutes:

The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.

1 hour:

He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.

No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.

This is a true story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people’s priorities.

The questions raised:

*In a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty?

*Do we stop to appreciate it?

*Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?

One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:

If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made.

How many other things are we missing?

Was really fun. I got to see and talk to lots of good friends I rarely see. There was a lot of people, particularly from tumblr, that I wanted to get a chance to talk to more. Next time, for sure. Feel free to call me out on that, btw. Still had such a great time. nice seeing all of you that I did talk to.
