When I die, I want to have a funeral procession like this one!

And at the End, Joy
Laserzzz Pt. 1
I had a slinky.
It was metal.
It was awesome.
It made me have a smile.
Now it's broken.
Broken like the teeth of the child that I punched and stole it from.
Just a hunk of twisted metal now.
Dirty, dirty vampires.

Y No Dis-u-co
Since I have nothing of any relevance to post, I have a video!
Yeah... I've been sucking it up lately. It's not like I don't have some decent stuff to blog about, I just don't feel like it. Or I'm being a lazy bastard.

A Century
1. I love Ashley.
2. My ancestors were crusaders. Unless some jackhole in my family decided to randomly pick the name Jordan. It's from the River Jordan.
3. I graduated from the University of Maine with a degree in Journalism. It's the most expensive piece of paper I've ever gotten. Plus it has the same functionality as any other piece of paper I've ever owned.
4. I have siblings aplenty. Brothers named Azymandias, Mithridates, Leptis Magna, and Scipio Africanus. I also have a half-sister named Kalykoklyndylyla.
5. I committed petty crimes throughout my childhood. I stole packs of cards from Toys R Us (true), I pissed on a wah-wah Indian's car (true), I vandalized government property (true) and I assassinated the Archduke Franz Ferdinand (true).
6. For some unknown reason I have a great aptitude and love of geography. I know everything about everyplace, and bask in a chance to learn about these faraway (or nearby) places.
7. I love history. From ancient times to the middle ages to the industrial revolution. My favorite classes in college were my advanced history classes.
8. I have a beard.
9. Travel! I love to travel. I want to travel all over the world! I've only been to four countries so far (US, Canada, Bahamas, UK) but hope to go to at least 260 more. Yes 260. I plan on going back in time to countries that no longer exist, like Persia, Byzantine Empire, Aetolian League, Mali Empire, etc.
10. I like taking daytrips with The Ashes. We go all over Maine every summer.
11. Silas is my pet cat. He's the only actual pet I own. There's a cat at my house named Caesar. He's an asshole. Silas is the epitome of cool, even with a broken leg.
12. I have no religion. I'm agnostic. Or maaaaybe Deist, in the Jeffersonian sense.
13. If I could fight any historical figure it would be Mother Teresa, because I'm sure I have better hand-to-hand skills than her.
14. I hate my job.
15. I am a half-Mexican, half-Jewish airplane pilot from Minneapolis. Wait, no I'm not. I'm a half-English, half-Irish, half-French bastard.
16. I think Nintendo is overrated and haven't had a good console since the SNES. The DS is decent, though.
17. I want to be a writer. A journalist. An editor. A scriptwriter. A travel journalist. A novelist. An author. In the TV/movie industry. In advertising. A PR agent. Something.
18. I once shot a squirrel out of a tree with a BB gun. I couldn't see it and took the shot blind. That fucker tumbled all the way to the ground and died.
19. I've been addicted to Monster Energy drinks since late '07. It used to be Mountain Dew, but EEEEW.
20. If I could be a Final Fantasy job class it would be a Summoner.
21. If I could make any fictional creature real it would be Chocobos. Followed by Moogles.
22. If I was a chick my name would be Lizzie Danger. If I was a guy my name would be Xander Rouge. Wait... what does that make me?
23. My favorite wrestlers through the ages have been Bret Hart, The Rock, Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe and CM Punk.
24. I LOVE LEGOs. I had a shitload when I was a kid. I forgot them for many years and swept them under the rug of memories. Then I found a ton of awesome LEGO websites and got back into it. It's part of my quarterlife crisis.
25. Final Fantasy X is the best FF. There I said it. Tidus is awesome.
26. My favorite actor is Brad Pitt. My favorite actress is Scarlett Johansson.
27. My fists have names. Jorg Jachske and Elliot Reaver-Willow. They beat the shit out of my enemies.
28. I'm slowly wasting my life. But maybe not. I'm still figuring out who I am, because sometimes you don't know at the end of the teenage years.
29. Is it more important to be rich, or to be happy? I don't know. I think I just want to be happy, and I am.
30. I want to live in Japan someday. It's my dream, and I'll never give up on it.
31. My alter ego is Sir Nigel Witherspoon. I produced a number of webisodes of the Nigel & Gerald Show years ago. They're funny. Crude, insulting, and offensive. But funny. I always thought it could be streamlined into something real, but eh.
32. Neil Gaiman is my favorite author. George R.R. Martin is now second (he doesn't produce, he falls down).
33. The Zombie Apocalypse will be the downfall of the world. It will be awesome, even if I die. Why? It's ZOMBIES motherfucker.
34. I bet I could be a fucking decent writer on a television show of some sort. Even though I'm not Jewish.
35. In middle school I was fat. I was fat in high school. In college I lost a lot of weight. Now I'm a decent, controllable size.
36. I hate dogs. They should all be dead. Except for one Shiba Inu, so that Ashes'll be happy.
37. I'm an elitist. I love people watching because in the end I always judge people to be inferior to myself.
38. I hate douchebags. Self-important, rich and "suave" man-whores they are. They degrade this country almost as much as the idiots.
39. I voted for Barack Obama.
40. Liverpool FC is my favorite soccer (yeah, soccer) team. I have a bunch of merchandise from the team, including a giant flag hanging across one wall of my room.
41. The best concert I ever went to was Red Hot Chili Peppers & The Mars Volta.
42. I'm in love with maps. I guess this is an extension of my love for geography.
43. Netflix makes my life rule. Hulu is awesome too.
44. I have smelly feet.
45. I've been to every major East Coast city except Atlanta and Charlotte.
46. I own a 360. I would like a PS3, if only for the Blu-Ray features.
47. I thought that if I started a video game blog I could really make it take off, and maybe go to E3 this year. I couldn't. I didn't know the right people to get traffic. PLUS, I didn't update enough. And my posts were all irrelevant.
48. I get like 20-30 really workable ideas a week. I carry a notebook with me at all times to write down my best ideas. Even then I only put like 1/3 in the notebooks.
49. I'm a registered Republican, but I vote Democratic. I'm really a centrist.
50. Adolf Hitler.
51. My favorite video game villain of all time is Kefka Palazzo from FF6. My favorite movie villain of all time is Col. Amon Goeth from Schindler's List.
52. I claim to hate anime, but I actually like the really well done stuff. Anything by Miyazaki for example.
53. I really like pictures of cityscapes, urban culture, city streets, architecture, and neighborhoods.
54. Art Deco is my favorite architecture style. It's so retro-futuristic it makes me go EEEEEEEE like a little girl.
55. I've been a male ever since I was born. I've been an American ever since I was born. I've been awesome ever since I was born.
56. My favorite wrestling company is Pro Wrestling NOAH. It may not always be the most exciting in terms of storylines to follow, but it's the best damn wrestling consistently. ROH is second.
57. I once traveled to Philadelphia to go to a Ring of Honor show simply because Mitsuharu Misawa was wrestling. Once in a lifetime experience.
58. I don't like winter. There's no green. My favorite season is summer, which is too short here in Maine.
59. I don't like being in Maine, but I love being from here.
60. I hate lobster. I'm a Mainer that hates lobster.
61. I trained an elephant to tap dance. Ten died.
62. The Simpsons is my all time favorite TV show.
63. My favorite stand-up comedian is Jim Gaffigan, but I think John Oliver is second.
64. I've been Twittering since before it was cool, damnit.
65. RPGs are my favorite video game genre. I rarely have the time to play them nowadays, though.
66. I fucking love rain!
67. I have no connections. I don't have a network. If you don't have connections and you don't network, how do you move up in the world? It really is all about who you know.
68. I'm such a lesbian.
69. I use Axe products all the time. In my armpits, my hair, and my body. I smell like Axe.
70. I have wretched teeth. It may not appear that way on the outside, but I do. I'm very sensitive about it.
71. IDK MY BFF JILL? *SLAP*
72. Fantasy books are my favorite. I love the entire genre of fantasy, beyond the standard fare. It's actually better when somebody does something different with the genre. I'm open to new stuff, unlike many fantasy fans who just want Tolkien retold.
73. I must, at all times, be inundated with at least 3 sources of entertainment. The TV must be on, my computer must be on, and my DS must be on or nearby. I rarely do just one thing.
74. My favorite video game hero of all time is Tidus. My favorite movie hero of all time is Indiana Jones.
75. I like snowy nights, but only because it traps all the light in and makes it extremely bright all night long. It's a great atmosphere.
76. Transmetropolitan is my favorite comic book series of all time.
77. I'm a pirate. In the modern sense of course. Not the Somalian modern sense, but the modern-modern sense.
78. The South African flag is my favorite national flag. The Bosnian flag is my least favorite.
79. The first movie I remember seeing in theaters was... The Little Mermaid I believe.
80. Post-apocalyptica is awesome!
81. I won't ever get a tattoo because I'd never be happy with anything forever. Tastes change.
82. I was fired from a job as a Zepplin pilot in Italy because a cat in a plane made me crash.
83. I believe in mystical creatures and faerie creatures, but only because it's more fun to.
84. I dress with more style than I used to. Consequently, I look better than I used to.
85. I didn't peak in high school and then give up on life like everybody else. I laugh at those who did, for their lives are now just misery and mine is happiness!
86. I once got hit in the head with a hockey stick.
87. I say wicked. It's because I'm a New Englander.
88. Suikoden, Persona, Wild Arms. The most underappreciated RPG series. Almost every game from these three series are excellent.
89. I hate MMORPGS. They are a MASSIVE waste of time. You basically pay to do the same boring shit over and over and over. No real content, just grinding and item farming. BORE-ING.
90. I really like management style sports games. My favorite sports game is, therefore, Football Manager.
91. I like to blog. The general crappiness and poor functionality of Wordpress, my current blogging tool, has caused me to see it as a bit of a chore.
92. I've never broken a bone.
93. I wish there were more fast food places around here. I like fast food, but all we have is the standard stuff. I want the exotic stuff!
94. I've never shot a gun in my life.
95. I can't swim.
96. I'm on a boat motherfucker don't you EVER forget.
97. NINETY-SEVEN!
98. I don't like my hair. I can never get it to do anything good.

100. SOX RULE! Red Sox!!! YAAAAA!!! GO PATS!!! PATRIOTS!! YAAAA!! CELTICS RULE!!! GO GREEN!!! YAAAA!!!

Crisis of Identity
Everybody gets to a point where they try and figure out who they are. They do. But what happens when you never figure it out? What happens when you're stuck in a loop, unable or unwilling to get out of it? Or after a long period of introspection you just don't know what the fuck happened.
Youth is rebellion. It's figuring out the world. I did that. I thought I did that, y'know. But what the fuck did I learn from all of that? Where do I fit into this world. Where do I want to put myself.

Views from Abroad
Here are what I think were the best pictures that I took while I was in London. While I am certainly not as skilled a photographer as Ashes, I believe that I took some decent pictures. I mean, I only had my camera on me for like 2 days, and I have an ancient 256 mb memory stick. But I still got some. And you're not the only person that can do photo posts, Ashes.
Brentford at Night
The Canal Path - Grafitti
London Eye over a tree
Kew Gardens - Japanese garden
Kew
OMG wtfx?! Flurs? TEH GHEY! Pfft, whatevs.
