Here we are, at #5. You know how I told you that none of the songs would actually be placed in order? Well, I lied. I actually do have a set top 5, and you’ll get the songs as my brain saw fit. In order from 5 to 1.
Number 5 is Lost, off of Frank Ocean’s Grammy Award-winning debut album, Channel Orange.
There’s no explanation coming for this one. It’s just fantastic to me.
(Please, everyone, keep in mind, this is not the only tragedy to have occurred on Earth. Let’s all remember and hope the best for the families dealing with tragic losses worldwide, from shootings, natural disasters, accidents, and self inflicted harm.)
I am disgusted. Disgusted beyond belief. How can such a tragedy happen to innocent people?
The man couldn’t have been anything less than insane.
Keep your children safe, everyone. Shootings should NEVER happen, no matter the victims, no matter the place.
I’m shocked. Bewildered and shocked. The first 8-division world champion, arguably one of boxing’s greatest, was put to sleep last night.
As a Filipino, it becomes a holiday when a Pacquiao fight comes around. We all gather at someone’s apartment or house or wherever and we feast until the main bout comes by. We sit there watching intently, screaming and shrieking and clapping and punching while our guy is winning.
Such is the case of the night of December 8th, 2012. While it technically was December 9th on the east coast, I’ll try not to confuse anyone.
Pacquiao was winning. Undoubtedly. He knocked down Marquez and put a beat down on him. According to his corner guy, however, Manny was straying away from the plan. I have a feeling Manny was right to stray away from the plan. But when he didn’t, boom. Lights out.
Manny was in the midst of flurries and just pounding an injured Marquez (broken nose, trouble breathing) that entire 6th round. He picked up the pace and went in for a kill shot last second. Too bad he was on the receiving end of that killshot. In a last ditch effort, Marquez tried to throw his signature right. The thunderous shot nailed Pacquiao. Next thing you know, we’re all gasping and silent, watching Jinkee Pacquiao rushing to the ring in tears.
How could this have happened to our main man? Why didn’t Pacman just back out? Why did he have to fight Marquez a fourth time? He won 2 out of 3 anyway!
I expect a fifth fight. Pacquiao can’t let this be his last.
Just wanted to let you guys hear this tidbit I discovered whilst browsing the vast inter webs. Feel free to right click this link and listen to the sheer impressiveness.
Gangnam Style/Disco/Beethoven Mash Up
I think that first phrase just sums in all up.
The Big Cheese and I have been wasting away our weekends playing ridiculously fun yet extremely frustrating video games on our PS3’s.
One of our favorite games of the past year or so has been Resident Evil 5. We have literally played that game to death. But that didn’t stifle our fun. We kept playing it up until The Big Cheese broke his arm (and that’s a story for another day).
After the summer long hiatus and an uneventful waiting period, it finally released. Resident Evil 6.
Upon first glance, the third-person shooter doesn’t seem all that different from the older RE games. HOWEVER. Before actually jumping into the full game experience, Capcom was generous enough to throw in a mandatory tutorial. This 20-30 minute long prelude to the actual campaign starts with Leon Kennedy and Helena Harper. You play as Leon, learning the controls and mannerisms of the game.
I just have to say. The graphics? Beautiful. The game actually tells you to put the brightness down as low as possible (so that a grey six on the screen is barely visible). It really looks like a movie. The graphics are a sight to behold (even on my standard-def tube TV box), but of course, as any gamer should know, graphics aren’t everything. The sound is well done, too, by the way. Very detailed and crisp.
The controls are very different from the standard shooter, and will most likely be a difficult adjustment for a person that has solely been playing Call of Duty lately, such as I.
You can play through the campaign as one of three characters, each with a different story line: Chris Redfield, Jake Muller, and the aforementioned Leon S. Kennedy.
I’m really hoping for a great experience with this game, as chilling as it may be.
Many storylines= much fun.
So, The Big Cheese is out celebrating his best friend’s wedding and I will be the one taking over the RFPD today!
So, let’s get started.
I like pictures. I like travelling. I like taking pictures when I travel. I also like art. And especially graffiti. Or wall murals. See where this is going?
I saw this bad boy in New Hampshire on a small side trip coming home from Maine. It was a really cool mural, and I had nothing but a cell phone to take a picture with. My Droid Incredible 2, needless to say, did a good job with this one.
People, people. What have we learned from fear? Fear causes hesitation. Don’t hesitate. It’ll make your fears come true. Go with your gut. Either you give it all you’ve got or you don’t do it at all.
Big Cheese note: please be responsible. We do not in anyway want you to hurt yourself. Do not try this at home.
