Got my ass kicked by a sh*tty little 9 year old on Live. I don’t get these new games with fancy 3D graphics and moves. I’ve been playing the Street Fighter series since 1992 and all the sudden this kid born this decade kicks my ass.
My screen name on Live is WebYuppie. I’m going to practice all week so I can beat the crap out of that little chum. My avatar looks constipated but whatever.
I got lazy and left my daily contacts on for two days. When I finally removed them, the right lens dried out so bad that it ripped off the tear producing membrane of my right eye. Although my eye was pinkish, it really wasn’t pink eye. Maybe I had a lazy eye. Get it? Har har.
This strange and somewhat painful incident led me to appreciate the significance of vision. It was really tough driving with one eye covered.
It was the funnest gift ever. Aaron is against the purchase of exotic cars that go up in value but he was nice enough to let me drive one for a day.
He originally chose the F430 but I told him that I wasn’t ready for that beast. We ended up with a ‘02 395-HP 360 Modena, 6 speed manual. The car responds obediently when I wield the stick up demanding for more power.
We drove from the Strip to Hoover Dam and Arizona. There was a brief period when the car passed 120mph but this time, I wasn’t the passenger.
Ferrari owners have told me that dealers like pushing the F1/paddle shift transmission. As a manual transmission fan, I never understood why buyers would go for the paddle when driving outside a racing track.
I realized that I am not a part of Generation Y or sometimes called the Millennials. Instead I am a Gen X-er, those who were born between 1965-1979. I was only a month and a half away from the Gen Y cut but oh well. I basically distributed a press release last week announcing the influence and power of the Millennials in this year’s presidential election. I wrote the comprehensive, yet simple to read Student’s Guide to Voting with the knowledge that I was a part of the Millennials.
I hope college kids will find the free guide useful as it was written with sincerity.
