Blog You, You Blogging Blogger!

So another day another wonderfully interesting blog about my life. I think that teaching sunday school went well. I think the kids will think about God more this week than they normally would during their week. At least I hope so. I thought "Since this is sunday school then I will give them homework." So my assingment was to think about a verse that I made them read today at least once this week and to report back to me next week about what they were doing when they thought of it. Every time they would read a verse I would give them candy. But before they got candy I would ask them what they thought that verse meant. I tried to make them think about what they were reading. One kid didn't want to read so I explained what grace was and gave him the candy. I told him that he had an extra homework assignment to display one act of grace this week to someone. I make this all sound pretty plain and boring from the way I am reading my words but it really was a cool thing that happened. I can't wait to hear the kids report back and hopefully this will be a small step to them personalizing God. I'm trying to get them to see that God is outside of church on Sundays and that he can be found if you just reach out to him. It was a nice oppritunity and God really did a good job this morning because I had no clue what to do this morning. Without him I would have been screwed for this morning's lesson. I hope Brianna get's to feeling better but I know that getting over a friend's death is no easy task but I asked Dave how she was doing and he said that certain times of the month, when things happen they appear to be 10x's worse than they really are. Evidently to him, she has maginfied something that is by no means small but it is nothing earth shattering. I don't really know what the deal is but I'm prayin for her. Dave has been wrong on more than one occasion due to misinterpreting female action and maybe he isn't in this case but again as I said, I am not a witness to her actions or to what happened, so I don't know. Man it was nice to be able to put together a collage today. It was a homework assignment for careers class tomarrow but it was fun to do. I got to put a huge picture of Nirvana on there and I have 2 collages in my collage. I got one of Nirvana and blew it up to take one corner and another of the 1989 Batman movie. Both of them are really awesome. I put Beavis and Butt-Head on there and Alice in chains, Soundgarden, Michael Turner's Cover to Identity Crisis #1, a picture of Lewis Black, a picture of Denis Leary early in his career, and then I got a small picture of the Crow and a small picture of the Underwold movie poster. I got those because Batman (1989), The Crow (1994), and Underwold are my 3 favorite movies of all time. I just love dark movies with that style of film and a good sci-fi/action story. Well folks, I'm super tired and I need to go read some comics and go to bed. Night Y'all.

Run, You Fool, Run!

Again it was another day. Today was kinda nice cuz I didn't do anything but sit around, eat, masturbate, and play GTA 3. Yeah I'm starting to really like Grand Theft Auto 3 cuz not only was it in virtually perfect condition as a used game but it was only 5 bucks. I feel like I walked into the store, saw it, and walked out of the store without paying for it and no one saying a word. But I mean at 5$ who could say no? I'd pay more to rent it than to buy it. It's a fun game cuz I can go and blow stuff up, go on shooting sprees, kill anyone I want. It's pretty fun. I finally finished Metroid: Prime. I got the minimal 75% completion rate but it was a fun game. Meta-Ridley was pretty hard. I didn't think a flying dragon with metal plating would be easy but when he has like 5% life left is when he beats you down. That was the hardest part for me, was the head to head with him. Finally though after 6 or 7 tries, I beat him. Then there was the boss of all bosses, Metroid Prime. That thing was super hard. It took me 3 or 4 tries but man just getting to the thing was a pain. There is this place that you go to fight it and there is a small path you take. There are these fission metroids that split into 2 after so much damage and they chase you like hemroids on a butt. When you come out of the missle reload station then there are 2 of them chasing you and trying to knock you off platforms into lava and then if you decide to try and kill them instead of avoid them, they turn into 4 metroids. Man that boss though. You constantly have to change your weapons against it. It will turn a certain color meaning you have to change your arm cannon to that color and shoot it with either phazon or lava or the charge beam or even ice beam. It took me a little while to kill that thing then I had to fight it's core essence. That thing produces metroid while you fight it so you got all kinds of the 3 different types of metroids attacking you while you try and kill this thing that shoots circlular wave blasts and goes invisible. Invisibility isn't that much of a problem though because you can either see it on an x-ray visor or the heat scanning visor. It is only vounerable to phazon weapons though. It took me a little bit to figure out that the blast of regular phazon I was shooting it with were reflecting off of it. There are these puddles that it leaves and if you stand in them, then charge your phazon cannon, target it, and then after 3 or 4 blasts of standing in puddles immidiatly left by it, no more boss. Gosh I loved that battle and had such fun with that game. I cannot wait for Metroid: Prime 2 when it comes out next month. I think that's when it comes out. Either then or later this month. It will be a rockin game I'm sure. I would like to get a Gameboy player for the GC so I can play Metroid: Fusion and after beating it, use my friends GBA real quick and load the original Metroid for the old school Nintendo and I could also use the Fusion suit in the Metroid Prime game. I played Metroid Fusion and it was an awesome game. Too bad my emulator kept messing up my save files. That took the fun out of it because there is no way to beat that game in one sitting. Dude I could go on forever on how much I've been getting into video games latley. They are nice because they take my mind off of crap. I found out that I am teaching sunday school tomarrow. I know that God put me into that position but I don't know what for. I will find out tomarrow. I got a lesson on heroes prepared so hopefully God will take control of the class because I am not a very good teacher. I am normally in that class for crowd control simpily because of the age but the normal teacher had a close friend of hers die a several days ago and is in much sorrow. I am praying for her and I plan on having the kids make a card for her near the end of the class. I need to holler at my brothers for not blogging because they said they would but one of them has not blogged since before haloween and the other since election day. I guess they don't have as much free time as me which is not entirely a bad thing but I still wish that they would blog more often. Man I wrote 2 emails to Marvel Comics today because they added this thing on their site to where you put your email adress and your name and you could post some comments to whoever reads that crap I guess. I wrote one that was pretty harsh about how one of the mini-series had 3 major holes and how they needed to be more consistant with putting out their titles. They have 3 mini series that are 6 issues each and have not finished them. One of them was released in 2002 and has yet to finish. They are only on issue 3. There are 2 others that have only relased 1 issue but one was in 2003 and the other was this past summer. I would like to see them end soon but hey what are ya gonna do? I complained but right after that, I felt bad for how harsh I was so I wrote another one telling them that they were doing a good job in other areas beacuse Marvel is the company I mainly buy from but what I get from D.C. as a whole is a lot better. My ratio of good titles to bad titles are greater with D.C. than with Marvel. I must say though, that one of the best titles I'm getting is Daredevil and it's unique art and coloring style along with its supurb insainly good storys just rock. I have only gotten one issue of that title that I didn't like and that was only because it was an art jam. Usually when there are a ton of artists making one comic, the story take a back seat and normally really sucks. That was the case with this one. It was DD's 65th issue and 60th anniversary I think and they pretty much summed up from what I had been reading onto now with the last 2 pages building story for the next issue. Then in the next issue it was really cool. They went from now to black and white to show that it was a dude thinking upon a memory, then they went to old school 60's style with tan paper and stand out pixles and then back to current time. It was a really good issue as well as innovative because it held decent story and messed around with the coloring a lot to help enhance it. Well folks that's my rambeling about my hobbies for today. I could talk endlessly about the things I love. Comic books are just one of the few. See ya tomarrow and sorry for forgetting to blog yesterday.

When I Look Into Your Cries

Man what a day. I think there is a girl at school who likes me. In fact I think there is more than one. I find that very disturbing to me. Only because a girlfriend would do nothing but distract me and bother me at this point in life. There was a time when I would have loved this but that time is no longer now. Now I find that having a girlfriend would just bother the hell out of me. What really sucks is that one girl that I think likes me is really creepy cuz she was all following me and looking at me strange. I just hope it was a passing moment of horniness that will not carry over into the future. There is another girl who says hi and waves to me all the time and I don't even do that with my friends at school. Well I know that holds as much water as planes crash because of pickles but her friend was looking at me and pointing at me like "WTF? Him?" then she waved to me and left. Oh well whatever happens I guess I'll just move on. If anyone asks me anything I'll just shut them down with my emotionally detached coldness. Although the creepy girl did ask me for my cell phone # and I thanked God at that moment that I didn't have a cell phone. It seems the creepy girl and 2 of her friends have some type of attraction to me because they have all made comments about me in which they say I'm so cool or something to that effect. 2 of them are cool but that group is pretty goth. That group is also pretty shallow and flat. It seems to me that they have somehow looked in few places for happiness and are in the process of looking inward at their own pain and exploring the depths of that for happiness. I went through that and it almost killed me because I quit dealing with my pain, which in mid stages if left undelt with can turn into depression, and started feeding it. I only fed it in late stages and then I tried to get away with it with a knife. I did have a really good conversation today though. I had a cool spiritual conversation with a Mormon kid today and this kid is hardcore. He is brain washed super well by the church and his parents. I tried to build a spiritual base today and I doubt it is fully built but more conversations are sure to keep building it. He is one of the most conservative person that I've ever met. He makes my dad look like a socialist. This kid gets mad all the people who curse and is very much a loner. We do have common ground though, COMPUTERS. He is a geek and I am a nerd/geek. He is kinda cool but his uptightness annoys the crap out of me and his lack of smiling is just irritating. Maybe I can get the guy to loosen up more if I'm lucky. I've tried a lot to get him to keep an open mind when it comes to God as well. I told him that God uses us most when ever we try and expand our comfort zones and that the more we seek after God, the more he will shape us and mold us. He seemed to agree so maybe I can get him to see that there are more things we agree on than he realizes.
Well y'all I am freakin tired. I'll talk to y'all later. Adam 11/04/04 10:14 p.m. - 10:40 p.m.

The Day the Earth Stood and Said "What the *&)*^!"

Man it is pretty late for me and I am very tired. I want to go to bed soon. But for my faithfuls out there who care about my world, I had to fill y'all in on my day. It was a boring one. I got up, went to school, got comics, and went to church. Today was a good week for comics. I got the final issue of Michael Turner's Batman/Superman run. It will be sad to see him leave the title because he is such an amazing artist. It is nice to see him bring back a Supergirl who is Kryptonian though. It is nice to see them hopefully not screw around anymore with the Supergirl character. After 3 different ones since '87, I'm hoping to see one that will stick around for a while. I got the end of the Avengers Dissasemble today and it was a week of endings in comics. Avengers was crazy because normally I can pick up on mysteries fairly early and nail whodunnit. This wasn't the case this time. The whole 4 part story, which starts in a Avengers #500, take place over 1 day and in that day 4 teammates die, everyone who was ever an Avenger EVER comes to the hq, they are attacked by aliens, Dr. Strange comes and pays them a visit, and all this happens because of a betrayal of a teammate. She-Hulk went crazy also and ripped apart the android Vision. That whole series was pretty crazy and it was one of the best stories I've read in a long, long time. Probally since 2002-2003's Batman: Hush. I won't even get into what that story was like. I say even if you don't know or like Batman, you will like that story just because of how good of a mystery it is. In that mystery I nailed whodunnit right on the head in part 4 or 5 and I went back and read it again. It always cool the things you pick up in the 2nd reading of things because you know how they will effect the story and you see things being foreshadowed that you didn't see before. You sit and go "Oh I should have seen this because this contributes to..." I can't wait till next week because of the mystery of Identity Crisis. This is the event of the year in comics because they have killed 2 important people in the lives of super-heroes. The murderer goes for the loved ones of heroes as opposed to the hero themselves. Everyone is involved in this story so far. They have from the Outsiders all the way to the JLA and even the Doom Patrol. Gosh I love comics. I could go on and on for eons about how good of a year this year is for comics and how good comics have been this past week alone. Comics really are my passion and the whole reason for getting into that industry is because I only pick up what I think the good stuff is and that I am too often wrong. It turns out that only about 25% of what I get is really good. I want to up that percentage when I become a writer. I want people to go "Messinger is on this title! It must be good if he is writing it." And I want to not let them down. I want to do this for the fans and give them what they really want. The only reason I want to be a writer is for the fans. Being one myself I think I know what they want but I'm not everyone so I don't know. Well it's 11:00 but I am really tired. Night y'all.

Crack Infected Water Bottle

Well I actually missed my blog last night. Usually I conciouslly know that I have but last night was my first time just plain forgetting about it. A friend of mine was doing his and reminded me of not doing mine. I had to go to bed early last night because I had to get up early this morning. I got up at 5 to go to Cal-State Monterey. We left at like 7:00 p.m. from school on a 3 hour trip of sheer hell. The trip itself was hell because of how rambunctious my group was but the college was very convincing. It was very tepmting of an offer. I'll go into detail about it some tomarrow but for now, I am very tired and I would like to go to bed. Just letting you guys know that I'm still out there. Oh and mom, dad, NEVER READ MY BLOG AGAIN. The last thing you guys need is a cheat sheat into my head and to screw me over with it.
