A Return to the Past

Posted by thegeekcorner on October 21, 2009 at 9:18 PM Comments comments (0)

So, it's happened again.  I'm back into Pokemon cards.  I can say this without being ashamed in the least bit.  I've been playing Pokemon anywhere, be it at a friend's house or in the middle of West Hall over at the college.  I forgot how simply addicting the game can really be.  It's super easy to just jump into and start playing, but at the same time there is a level of depth and strategy involved that I know I'll never ever reach, no matter how long I decide to pla...

Work and Working

Posted by thegeekcorner on September 28, 2009 at 7:39 PM Comments comments (0)

Sometimes I love and loath working two jobs while attending school part time.  Now, I wish it was full time, but that's a blog for another day.  Or maybe I've done one already.  I'm not so sure anymore.  One thing I love about working two jobs at a time is that I get like a $600 paycheck every other Friday.  That is just good stuff right there.  Definitely money that I really need.  However, I get almost no time to myself because of that.  I'm either at...

It's Time to Ramble

Posted by thegeekcorner on September 23, 2009 at 10:38 PM Comments comments (0)

Ramble, Joel.  Ramble.  Not Bramble.  Honestly.  Get your mind out of the 1990's stop playing Donkey Kong.  Speaking of the 1990's, I'm really looking forward to the remake of Pokemon Gold and Silver.  It's looking sweet as hell.  I just like the little things they are adding and bringing back.  Plus it lets me pick up a bulbasuar if the reports are true.  Not at the beginning, but this is just setting up the awesomeness that could be letting you c...

The Top Ten -- Things I Hate About Kanye West

Posted by thegeekcorner on September 21, 2009 at 7:10 PM Comments comments (0)

That's right my faithful readers, it's the return of the Top Ten list.  Only this time, it's really a Bottom Ten list.  And who better to trash and thrash on than the ever not talented Kanye West.  He's a douche, and as thus, he will be taken down by those lone, bitter blogger.


Number Ten:  Kanye West is a gay fish.


I'm sure everyone who has watched South Park has seen this episode.  Now, does this episode make Kanye a terrible pers...

Summers Come and Go

Posted by thegeekcorner on August 31, 2009 at 8:33 PM Comments comments (0)

Another summer has come and gone and I wish I had done something extraordinary wih it, but in typical Jon fashion, I pretty much wasted it.  Yet at the same time I feel like I actually did something wth it too.  Nothing significanat mind you, just little things that almost add up to something meaningful.  But where to begin?  I know, lets just randomly jump into it and see what happens.


I managed to snag a job at the NMC Writing Center.  I'm stil not...

Another Friday

Posted by thegeekcorner on August 7, 2009 at 10:11 AM Comments comments (0)

It's a rather drab Friday so far, and I've only been awake off and on for the last three hours.  I have a feeling that the day is destined to remain like this too.  It started with me waking up later than I wanted to, continued with the fact that my library books are due back today, and so far has wrapped up with one of the random people on Facebook assualting me for my politcal beliefs.  Political beliefs that extend to a whole "I don't have anything against the President."...

Computer Speak

Posted by thegeekcorner on July 7, 2009 at 10:23 PM Comments comments (0)

So I've been thinking about getting a new computer.  Not sure how serious I am about getting one, but it would be super nice.  The computer I have now isn't all that bad, it's just that it is an old one.  I can't play a lot of the games I want to, the biggest one being Knights of the Old Republic.  Though I wouldn't mind throwing some Sims 3 on there either.  Let me give you the specs of the guy I'm looking at maybe one day purchasing.

Just Thinking Aloud

Posted by thegeekcorner on July 6, 2009 at 9:36 PM Comments comments (0)

So I've been thinking a lot lately.  I know, I know, that's a total shocker.  It's been all over the place too: girls, comics, Dungeons and Dragons, bowling, Amanda.  You know, most of the usual stuff.  It's all kind of crazy when you put it all together.  For instance, almost every single one of these is connected, and I think the easiest thing to connect them to would be Dungeons and Dragons surprisingly.  I won't tell you all about the details, mostly because ...

Lets Bowl

Posted by thegeekcorner on June 24, 2009 at 8:52 PM Comments comments (0)

So lately I've been bowling a lot.  Something like three times in the last two weeks, which is a lot for me.  Normally it used to be maybe once a month, tops.  I'm not really sure why I've been craving it so much lately.  Maybe it's because Megan works an alley and I just saw her not too long ago.  Maybe it's because it keeps me relatively active.  Or maybe it's just because it's really cheap compared to a lot of the other hobbies I enjoy.


I'm t...
