freeverse conversation

Lots of salt
way over there
superfluous salt

Not actually salt
I see dad
he's gone now

Who broke that

That water looks delicious
-T. Huffman


I could tell
the best of rick astley

Somebody gonna get rick rolled

I'll be the famous anonymous contributor
they're not really good at all
cough cough

What are you really writing down
-A. Sankey


Your face
then I'm not going tonight

Ughh

That man is driving truck with cell phone
I broke a sweat
ricky...

That tree doesn't even look like a dong
I gotta show you something

wasting time and taking names, or how I sacrificed a week to talking pinatas


I've been filled to "maximum candiosity" and it feels so right. Unfortunately, it seems I can't control myself. I am compelled by forces unseen to put Viva Pinata in my 360 and stand idly by as my time disappears like I tied a brick to my cars accelerator and took a nap in the back seat.

It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to put it down. Which for a video game means taking it to gamestop and trading it in for store credit. It's going toward the Fallout 3 fund.

tastes like ink

As the single minded raptor stalk their prey, so too my time is ravaged by trivial pursuits. Let me instead try this, as it may prove a slightly better use of time.

I've been watching Burn Notice, as every Bruce Campbell fan and am enjoying it for the most part. The whole "When you're a spy..." voice over is getting a little old. I do a pretty good impression. At least that's what my mom says.

Well, we're off to a good start. See any good movies lately?

I would be remiss if I didn't give credit to those who inspired this foray into blogging. On their newly released (and sadly final) podcast, the Games For Windows crew spoke of their entrance to the games news industry and how their opportunities arose. I'm not saying that that is where I plan on going, but the message hit home. Writers write, no matter the situation. And when you write on the internet there is always the outside chance that someone may take the time to read it.

My best to Shawn Elliot at 2K Boston, Jeff Green at EA and the the rest of the GFW crew who remain at 1UP. Miss the Brodeo already.
