Useless

So Froshweek starts tomorrow!!

Unfortunately half my froshleaders who volunteered to help with this week are either (a) too lazy to come to school or (b) too busy to help.

How useless.

But in the news, gay scientists isolate the christian gene:

F-E-A-R

No, this post isn’t about the game FEAR.

Instead it’s about a genius move that I discovered on bulbapedia with how you can beat a level 100 pokemon using a level 1 rattata. Hence why the abbreviation for Fear is “Fucking Evil Annoying Rodent.”

All you have to do is equip a Focus Sash to your rattata who knows Quick Attack and Endeavor. For your first move use Endeavor, your opponent is likely to use an offensive move which will bring you to 1 HP. Your endeavor will bring your opponent to 1 HP as well. Now finish them off with a quick attack, which is a priority move meaning you will attack first.

There are some flaws to this move, but often it works quite well.

You can read about it here, where I learned about it.

And for a video on this rattata “pwning shit up” take a look here:

Video of Me Rowing

That’s me finishing my heat 1 at the Alberta Opens a few weeks ago. I was definitely a good few hundred metres ahead of the other boats.

Rowing Updates

Given that it’s my blog about me, I have been rowing a lot lately so there are some neat things happening there. I told my coach that I wanted to do U23’s next summer. He is the type of coach that will straight up say the truth, so if you suck then he will tell you. His response was that I just need to keep lowering my erg scores. This means he thinks that I can actually do it. He has also been coaching me a lot more this last week so it feels like I have a real coach.

Being part of the exec we have to come up with the budget for this year, next year and the year after. Apparently we have spent around $16,000 from our own pockets. I never really realized that rowing costs so much for the team. Next year we want to buy a coxed four with sculling riggers, (which will cost another $20,000), a full time coach at $25 an hour and a new launch with a four stroke motor. We are applying for a grant from the city of Burnaby for the amount of $100,000 so we really hope to get it.

I am looking at buying a bike too, I went to a store and rode the Trek 4300, it was pretty sweet. I looked at the North Shore Mountain Biking Gear Swap but they only had medium sized bikes and I am needing a large one. I am going to try out a Norco Kokanee and a Kona Blast.

Here’s a funny video to end off the post.

Two New GREAT Videos

The first video is called: Jesus Pwn’s You

The second is a SNL Short called: People Getting Punched Right Before They Eat.

Whitest Kids We Know

Just a ridiculous video I found.

Hot and Crazy

This, if you have ever watched the show is the Hot/Crazy Scale. What it means is that you want to try and find a girl who is proportionally hot to her craziness. She basically has to be above that diagonal.

Here’s is a video clip to help explain it better:

Decent Break

Last week and a bit have been pretty decent for me. Starting on the 19th my roommate had a huge party-ish at our townhouse. A couple of my friends came and a couple pussied out. We drank a bit of everything in the beginning of the night, some beers, jagerbombs, tequilla etc. Jesse then wanted to go to a warehouse party that his sister was throwing on, so we went there. Turns out it really sucked. Maybe not for him because he knew everyone but for Shaw and I we were bored.

We quickly left and headed back to my townhouse. We tried running after a bus but some dick bus driver wouldn’t stop for us. So we had to wait for a bit for a bus to finally come. By the time we had gotten back to Rez my roommate was passed out. The rest of us ended up playing drunk twister till 4 am. By that time most of the people had passed out. I went to my room and found two girls passed out in my bed.

The next day I was supposed to head out to my grandparents but there was so much snow that I got stuck in my townhouse. I waited for a day for the snow to pass and get plowed before I headed out to Chilliwack. There I just chilled with my grandparents for a few days. It continued to snow really hard out there.

Christmas day I didn’t do much since my family was up in Quesnel. From my grandparents I got some money and some axe stuff. Christmas dinner I went to Cloverdale to my Aunt and Uncles. I got a Futureshop giftcard from them. I ended up spending the night playing PS3 with my cousin on some game called Warhawks I believe.

I headed home to rez only to see that Futureshop was opening at six am the next morning and I wanted an xbox 360. I called up Tom and then headed to his place. We drove around and saw people were lined up all over. We continued to drive around and the only thing we found open was a 7-11. Tres depressing. We ended up going back to his place where I slept till 5:40 and he just played Wow.

When we got to Futureshop, the store was just packed! I have never seen so many people inside Futureshop and at 6 AM! The parking lot was also full and we had to park a bit aways. But I ended up getting my 360, plus an extra controlled, plug n’ play packs, Guitar Hero III with a guitar and a bunch of games. Tom and I went back to my place and ended up playing that for the last few days. We mostly played Mirror’s Edge which is a really good game. It’s a first person action game about these messengers who use Parkour to get messages across the city since they live in a Totalitarian society where communications is controlled.

Tom introduced me to the following video which I thought was hilarious:

On the 27th we went out to Kits where we ate at a really good breakfast restaurant called the Wooden Shoe. I haven’t eaten their since September. The Vancouver roads are really horrible. The new Happy Planet mayor of Vancouver won’t last long since his snow removal plan seems to be, “Let it melt.” Srsly if you go off any major road in Vancouver you will need four wheel drive. Even major streets like Oak had to be shut down because of how bad they were.

I bet he will soon implement the “Walk it Off” health care plan.

That evening I went out to watch the movie the Day the Earth Stood Still. If you don’t know or remember, that was the movie that was filmed at SFU and that I snuck on the set as an extra and filmed two scenes. Well I watched the movie and I saw the two scenes that I filmed in and I made it in the movie!! I am so excited. Now I am going to wait for a DVD copy of the movie or a DVD quality download so I can screen shot that shit and prove I was in it.

The 28th I went out to Chilliwack once again as this was my true Christmas. My parents were in town and my brothers who I haven’t seen since August, for a brief moment. We exchanged presents and I was excited as I got a bunch of stuff I really wanted and needed. My mother gave me spoons (as I only owned one), some pots and tea towels. I also got a calendar, candy and the second newest Redwall Book, Eulalia from my younger brother. My younger-older brother gave me a $100 gift card to Futureshop. I was pretty impressed that he did that, apparently he wanted to buy me a whole xbox because of all the stuff I have gotten him in the past (a Wii, games etc). My Aunt and cousins gave me a chapters gift card and I also received a roomlamp, some new jeans and a belt.

I headed back to rez today, where I was playing xbox all day. I downloaded some new A State of Trances that I have not listened to, including the yearmix and the top 20. It was Shawn’s birthday today (Happy Birthday man!) and we went out to Red Robins and the Foggy Dew. It was definitely a decent night.

As the year is coming to an end there has been a lot of good stuff that has happened this year, specially near the end of it. I will write a full year recap next year as I still have a few days left. In the next few days I will be going snowboarding with my brother, out shopping for a suit jacket, dinner with the third set of aunt and uncle and a NYE party on the 31st. Next year I have some big plans, including living in my own place off rez which I am starting to looking for now. Either that or I need a roommate which I am also looking for.

So, my final words of this post and possibly this year: A pimp is just a business manager with assets.

Simpson’s Apple Parody

Thank you Stumbleupon for finding me this.

Dick Move

What a dick move to do to a kid, especially on Christmas. I did have to LOL a little though. I will see you in hell.
