Landed my first superman punch today. Jab, cross, right kick. Jab, cross, right kick. Jab, cross, feint then superman punch. I think this was also the first combo that I was able to successfully execute according to plan. It felt like time went slow motion for a few seconds as it happened. I saw everything. Got the guy right in the nose. He started going berserk afterwards and went all out on my thigh though. As a result, my leg is going to be messed up tomorrow but landing that combo was all worth it.

"Great conversations are like the lifespan of a person, they begin at a time which is never convenient, often late at night or in the morning, they last for a while, and then end abruptly at a time much later leaving everyone wanting just a few hours more"
Have you ever talked to someone, doesn't have to be anyone in particular, and felt a true sense of communication? I've only had a few great conversations like these in my life, and I long for them to happen again. They make me feel so close, so intimate with the other person. They usually happened at night and can easily last for hours. Maybe because we took off the mask that we wear during the day, or perhaps we're just feeling lonely and want someone to talk to. Whatever the case, I've always felt a sense of lost when they have to come to an end. But like all good things, they generally do. I cannot describe this feeling to those that have yet to experience this phenomenon, but you'll know it when it happens and that feeling can never be forgotten.

Blast from the past!
I've been a gamer probably since I was five and the most memorable game that I played is Contra. This was back in the day with the red white NES system, and my uncle was the guy that first introduced me to the world of gaming. To those of you that don't know what Contra is, lets just say that it was one the most challenging games ever made. And being a five year old then, there was no way to beat with game without cheating. One of the best things about Contra is the co-op mode, where two players can kick some simultaneous ass.
Now the purpose of this post is to let you all know that...CONTRA IS BACK ON NDS (http://ds.rom-news.org/ has all the roms in case you don't know)!!! This is the most exciting thing that happened to my NDS since puzzle quest. Zelda was good and all, but it didn't have enough bam in it for me to become addicted. I'll leave that for another time...

Now in dual screen!

Let me know if you want some wireless co-op action :)

owned
Just finished my subway cheese steak and preparing for my 240 midterm at 12 tomorrow. I'm a freeman after tomorrow, but man does that seems so far away. Now, I don't want to get off on a rant here, but I got owned like a noob by tonights exam.
As you know, I wasn't able to concentrate yesterday and started this blog. And as a result of this, tonights exam turned out to be extremely difficult. At least to me it was. I went in and realize it was a 45minutes test and that shoke me off abit. Time started, looked at the first question, wasn't that bad. Finish it after a bit then moved on to the second question. The Z value went off the chart, so I thought I did something wrong and started to improvise my own equation. Time started going fast forward on me and the minute hand went as fast as the seconds. Times up, good game Phil. Realized my initial solution was correct, but of course this was after the test and man do I hate this feeling. This "slip" has always been a companion of mine whenever I go to a test. In closing, I really need to know myself and not doubt my answers. Feeling a bit bad at the moment, but still need to study my ass off for 240. At times like these, I wish I went to college instead...

Hello World
Hello everyone, its 2:03pm right now on a very fine day of November. I've finally decided to start blogging in hopes to improve my writing skill and to get to know myself better. Right. Seems like I arrived a little late in the game since everyone started blogging back a while ago, but after reading one particular blog, I've decided to write one myself. Now I don't want to get off on a rant here, but after 20 years, how am I still not able to concentrate on my homework?
I've been having midterms since the beginning of October, and Thursdays became my most hated day of the week. Time goes by fast these days and its already the 14th of November. The barrage of midterms will cease after this week like the calm before the storm, then finals starts on the 10th of December. So much to do but here I am blogging like a noob. What does it take to motivate myself to work? How come I can never really concentrate and study for just a few hours? I've complained about the work load before, but in reality, its not that much work if I am able to concentrate. If I can look at doing homework as a way of leveling up in a rpg game, 4.0 wouldn't be as far away.
So if anyone is actually reading this, here is my first post. I hope I have some more interesting things to talk about in the future, but until then....
CONCENTRATE.
