So yesterday was the official last day of high school for me and several hundred others, and I must admit, I'm more excited to graduate now then a month ago when I was considering simply skipping the graduation ceremony only to have the school mail me my diploma. Now that school is done however and the actual graduation day is only a little more then a week away, I am buzzing with energy, nervousness, worry, all of the strange concerns that run through my mind on a daily basis are now secondary to something that really is no big deal.
Anyways after school yesterday me and my good friend Connor went over to another good friend's house, had an absolutely mediocre ping-pong championship, failed miserably at trying to coordinate times to when we might go get food, and when we might have to go pick people up, and played the new Mortal Kombat game. For seven straight hours. Imagine my surprise when a game I thought was only really good for watching people tear one another in half, turns out to be just a game that's really only good for watching people tear each other into more then one half. Me and Connor were mesmerized by the display, having never played the game before, and eventually racked up beating the entire storyline save for the last boss, unlocking every single fatality and costume, and finding out that time really does fly when you're screaming obscenities at a large television. I found the night rather reminiscent of a session of games with our other good friend Adam, who's posts you've seen previously, and have been absolutely devoid of swearing, or insanity. Either way, back on topic, every other word out of our mouths was an angry curse at the AI for blocking a special attack, or hitting us in the groin over and over until blood was shooting out of our eye-balls. Eventually it got so bad that Connor had to give up the controller for fear of sending it sailing through the TV, and this started the spiraling decline of my sanity as I fell into the same trap he had, and soon I was nothing more then a heaving mass of flesh on a lazy-boy, shouting about how the god damn Scorpion kept shooting his god damn chain into my god damn throat, or roaring with anger as that cursed Shiva demon ripped my arms off and beat me to death with them, that fat bitch.
Despite our anger at video-games, last night was a fun night, and while I feel a little sick after so much Mountain Dew in one sitting, I feel like it was a success. Now I just need to prepare for all of the upcoming graduation parties I'll be forced to endure, and after last night, my body is ready.
I'll be gone for some of the week but when I get back, get ready for blog post part trois. I advise you begin preparing in advance.
PS, I feel as though the intellectual quality of the blog is deteriorating over time (not that it was ever really that smart in the first place), and that at first it was funny and witty, and now it's just silly, does anyone else feel the same?
