An Indepth Look Into A Geek's Soul

Alright, I have half a feeling this one is going to be a long one tonight folks, so be prepared to be reading this for awhile.  I could be wrong though.  Only one way to find out though, know what I mean?  Time to get writing.  Also, no Top Ten this week.  I apologize for any faithful fans of the segment.

We'll go in days at a time, so naturally, it all begins on Sunday.  Sunday morning to be specific.  The family and I, that would be my Uncles Chris and Rich, my Grandpa Olson, and myself, left the house around 6:00 in the morning.  It was a little bit afterwards, but still closer than what I thought it would be.  Stopped at a Big Boy for a breakfast buffet around 9:00 and kept going from there.  Uncle Chris road with me until we hit Ohio, and then Grandpa road wtih me until we got into Waldorf.  I forgot how funny Uncle Chris could be, in his hugely sarcastic way.  I think that we arrived into Waldorf around 8, though it might have been a little bit earlier than that too.  We stopped at my mom's first, but not too long. I headed over to my dad's, had some pizza, met Sarah, who isn't too bad looking, and then headed to the couch to sleep.

Monday was the big day:  Sean's graduation.  It was nice and not super long.  It was only about an hour and a half long.  Thank goodness.  Sean totally composed a song for the graduation, as well as conducted it.  It was fairly good too.  And of course I screamed his name out too, but no, he didn't hear me, did he?  Gosh, that kid.  But no, it was still pretty sweet.  The whole ceremony was over in an hour and a half, so it was pretty short in my view.  Outside, we took some pictures, Sean being the center of attention of course.

Afterwards we all went our seperate ways.  I honestly cant' remember what I did.  I think I went into Best Buy, just to see how different it all is.  It's definitely nicer than the one up here.  It even has a Magnolia Store in it.  Score.  But no, then we went over to Sakura Japan, and that was nice, even if we had to wait for 30 minutes for my dad to show up.  You see, at Sakura, they make the food right in front of you, which is freaking sweet.  It's always a good eat, but I have to admit, this time the guy just didn't put his heart into the performance.  It was still nice, especially if it was your first time there, which I think it was for about half of our party, but I know they can do a lot better.

Joel's was after that.  I think I chilled with him for something like four hours.  It was pretty awesome.  That kid is a blast to be around.  I forgot how much I missed being no more than an hour away from him.  Did we do a lot?  Of course not.  We never do much.  Did we play Magic?  Hell yes.  Did he kick my ass in it?  It wouldn't be a game of Magic if he didn't.  Did I enjoy it though?  You better believe it.  It just goes to show that my Glorious Bant deck needs some major working on, especially on that mana base.  But we also played some PS3.  I played LittleBigPlanet and Portal.  Little Big Planet is a great game, but Joel is right, it is a lot more fun if you have more players.  Portal is a great game too.  In fact, I want to get a PS3 just for that damn game now.  The way I see it, if I have $1500 by the end of the summer saved up, I'll go ahead and buy myself one.  A kind of treat to myself.

But guys, this is getting really long, and it's only my first two days.  I think I'll be breaking it up into a tale that will cross over into multiple days.  So tomorrow, you guys are looking forward to at least Tuesday and Wednesday, and maybe some more than that.  So take care you all, and thanks for sticking wtih me.

Peace Out.
