Money versus Chicken

We all have our issues, things we will struggle to conquer everyday as we better ourselves. We face the hard stare of self awareness, and achieve our toughest answers in due time. I recently faced one of mine.

I'm bad with money

And it's sometimes hard for people to face their financial irresponsibility. I know I did, but it took one moment to truly understand my problem.

I love food, not surprising since it keeps us alive, but the act of eating brings me sincere pleasure. To me, gnashing my teeth through a peanut butter jelly sandwich is so satisfying, I make another one while eating the first.

I'm the guy secretly staring at your burrito while I'm eating a cheeseburger.

Anyway, there is a Chinese restaurant that I frequent so much, I have to actually use the word frequent like it was a Turkish bath (and not the good kind), which at this point has about the same amount of awkwardness.

I realized I  am somewhat a man of habit, if I find something I like, my brain says why change the variables. I like the fact that I can walk in, not say a word, just a simple nod to order my food. If I like the general tso and sesame chicken why should I eat anything else on the menu or any other food for that matter.

Unfortunately my reasoning was caught under a spell of delicious shrimp fried rice, and it was a little too late to rectify. One day, I sat and looked at my bank account suffer a nice body blow because I decided "Fuck it, I'm going to eat Chinese for 6 day straight"(verbatim) and thought nothing bad would happen.

I blame it on my young idiocy

But in this moment I also realized that I am bad with money, and in a way it was refreshing. I wasn't the crazed beast gorging myself on sweet, tangy chicken and denial in order to qualm my stomach's radical demands, I'm just an irresponsible youth who really likes Chinese food. 

Time, Space, Comics ,and Everything

A friend of mine and I have been kicking back ideas for a comic I've working on for some time. I tell you, concepts are an easy thing to grasp but when you actually try to create a universe within a comic the size of a universe, it get's tricky. The actual taking into account of the intricate nature of how everything correlates is a task harder to capture than a Lugia with one pokeball, not even a great ball. We're talking about a lot of forces here and what these forces are beyond our dimension. I mean time is an illusive bastard but what does it mean on a universal scale, and in what context. A fun little topic that can keep you up to the wee hours of the night trying to turn your brain off.

Injustice: Gods Among Us

Checked out the new game coming out, Injustice, and it looks cool as most games striving for nice looking graphics. While watching the developers demonstration there were a few things that I unfortunately had in mind almost instantly.

1. Yes, I have grown to acknowledge these characters in their iconic costumes, but it is a fighting game so a redesign was to be in order (even though in the comics and cartoons they usually stick to an acute range of design, no matter it gets a pass...barely)

2. Avoid logic like how could the Joker punch Lex Luthor (mind you in his warsuit) through a building or in Batman's case, who I'm a big fan of, but we can't kid ourselves, if he was thrown top speed, hitting multiple metal pipes along the way , he'd be pretty dead (until the next reboot of course)

3. The developer talking said "like Mortal Kombat" one time too many. In a new fighting game if you're trying to set the tone that is a new fighting platform and all that, you shouldn't bring up another game in the context he presented. It just makes the viewer, at the least, unconsciously see it as a copy which decreases quality. 

In the end, until it comes out, will I or anyone else who had technical issues with what they saw, to know if overall game absolves it from neurotic sense to nit-pick the little things.


On a side note, when I saw the video I saw no one actually blocking so I investigated. There is a block its just, you know, pressing back but people were like "What! No block button, I'll have to get used to that", and as a street fighter player primarily it's like "the fu-". The whole statement kinda irked me.

Update: Played Injustice, so it's great and I'm dumb

The Hyundai "only has 3 doors" Veloster

So Hyundai has made a new three door car, the Veloster. Now I have thought from time to time about this idea only to disregard it seconds later just on the fact that if you have three doors, why not just have four doors. Seriously, I get that it sucks when you're in a two door and getting out the car up is left up to whoever sits in the front. No one wants to leave the responsibility of letting you out to the friend who calls shotgun just to annoy you, they suck. So control your  fate, get a four door...or don't.

Like seriously, what kind of innovation is that! People in the 50's to 90's were expecting flying cars and what do we have cars with three doors. That some de-evolution if I ever believed it. If its four seats and three doors doesn't that feel off, or maybe I'm just crazy.

Welcome to this new blog, just a little blog (that I'm not too sure people will see) about really anything that comes to mind.
