Hold your breath. Make a wish. Count to three.......
There is nothing that can describe how you feel when you are holding yourself back. When you know that you have so much potential, and yet there are these things blocking your way. You dumb yourself down for a crowd, you try to anticipate what everyone wants, but you know you should really care about what you need and want too. Today i just reconnected with a part of me that really was lost for a very long time. In the words of Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder);
If you want to view paradise,
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it
It seems that i forgot the essential thing that made me who i am, my imagination. No wonder ive been having writers block and been feeling really unmotivated.
theres no denying that the road im putting before me is gonna be tough but hey ill try to smile my way through it. I am who I am and if you dont like it too bad im tired of changing my attitude to make everyone else happy. To the people who have listened to me in the past few weeks i thank you and you know what? its funny but i think the thing that made me feel this way was just listening to this song hahaha later days

You gotta love disneyland guests
Its funny how many people seem to think they know everything about disneyland. At the moment im being very um annoyed? By the people standing around me, its really funny just how these people assume that workers here are not getting people on a tram for fun or because theyre "mean". It seems they dont have much else to do but nit pick at everything, brag about how great they are, then just put cast members and workers down. I love disneyland for its nostalgia but i hate alot of the guests for how they assume about everything. I used to be a cast member and even i cant say i know everything about this park. What i can say is ive seen nice people become comatose because there was a guest who took all that happiness and just dashed it away. Im sick of people sometimes. People assume so much. Its why i observe everything around me. And it funny just how much trash people can be even in the magic kingdom. You gotta love disneyland guests.

It is what it is
Im lying here just tired. So tired. Just cant sleep. But why? Everynight for this past week ive stayed up late partially due to playing MAG and YAKUZA 3, but also because i dont want to fall asleep. I dont want to wake up sometimes. If it wasnt for malory, i dont think i could.
On a lighter but still a little depressing point i watched i love you man. How do i say this without sounding weird. Oh well. I seriously need some guy friends to hang out with. Dont have many.
Later days

Determination
Im determined. Determined to show the world what i got. Determined to be a different person than i was before. Determined to let go of all the dead weight that has been plaguing my mind. Determined to only have friends who genuinely care. Determined to show everyone just how wrong they are about me. Determined to be stronger. Determined to live my life in my own way. Determined to make my own decisions. Determined to stop people from stepping all over him. Determined to really become the person i want to be with no hinderance. Determined to never hold back. Determined to be the best friend i can be. Determined to be your worst nightmare. Determined to be married. Determined to be successful. Determined hold you close. Determined to let you go. Determined to lift you up. Determined to crush you. Determined to be the best i can be. Determined to be Marc and not anyone else.

A Thought
When one man loses his friends, a part of his soul and heart go with them, whether they leave on good terms, bad terms, or just disappear. the question is, does this change the man, augment him, take his thoughts from him?

All I Need is A Rocket Propelled Grenade, And An SFCR and I'm good. MAG..........Its good for u
Zipper Interactive's MAG (Short For Massive Action Game) is a tactical shooter that mirrors many traits from game such as call of duty, socom, operation flashpoint, etc. But what makes this game stand out is the amount of people who can join a game. 256 people to be exact. Yes that is a massive amount of people, Hence MASSIVE ACTION GAME. The story of the game is set in the year 2025 and is about 3 PMCs (Private Military Companies) vying for control of resources. The world itself is at peace. Behind the scenes though, these PMCs are waging an all out war. The fact that this is an "Unseen" war has made it the Shadow War. Now these PMCs are remnants of the world's old Armies. Valor is made up of The United States, The United Kingdom, and Mexico and is more of the standard military type. Raven is made up of mainly western European soldiers and is the high tech faction of the three. Last but not least, SVER (Seryi Volk Executive Response) is made up of Middle Eastern Countries, Russia, and China and is more of a militia faction in ways of appearance and weaponry.
I picked the game up at the midnight release and was surprised to see that many people were already on and playing. That was a good sign. So i went through the offline training mode to really get a feel for what the game was going to feel like and i must say im not overly impressed. It isnt as fluid as i would like it to be but it is very solid. The controls will feel very familiar to people who play Modern Warfare but also very different. Grenades are not assigned to a dedicated button, and you cycle through gear and guns. Its not as bad as it seems though. You can carry 4 pieces of gear with you ranging from your standard frag and smoke, to repair kits and health kits. Each faction also has its own buffet cart of guns but they are your standard guns that you can upgrade. One thing that was a minor annoyance at first was the fact that sometimes you couldnt help but run around not knowing what to do. Then i decided to look at the objectives and voila there it was clear as day. I understand that people have been having trouble trying to find out the objective......press select. Now don't just stop there. I'm only putting these first so i can put the ok to bad things to rest. Now we're getting to the good parts.
The real meat of the game is within the battles. If you have been playing Modern Warfare 2 all day then this is a whole different monster. You can't just run around by yourself thinking that you can kill 10+ people and get away with it. You do not....I REPEAT DO NOT...regenerate your health automatically. Theres three ways you can. Either use a med kit on yourself, have someone else use a medkit on you, or stick close to an officer. It gives the game a very distinct feel that you need to stay with your squad. You can also use vehicles in the game as mobile spawn points and tanks. This reminds me of Warhawk (a great game 8.0/10). Theres also the structure of the leveling in the game. When you level up you get skill points. Skill points can be used to unlock certain upgrades that will help you in what you decide to excel in. Say you want to be a sniper specialist; you can use what points you get to upgrade your sniper rifle and skills while using extra ones for skills you may need like medical or repair. That being said, you really can't excel completely in everything right off the bat so you have to choose a route you will take.
Needless to say everyone will have their own opinion on this game. For me, the game maker or breaker for MAG is the teamwork aspect. If you get stuck with a crew who just disperses from each other at the start of the whole game, then yeah you will hate this game. It wont be the games fault or the develepors fault, it'll be your crew's fault. You wont get anywhere by ridiculing everyone on your team because then no one will support you or help you. In my first playthrough of the game, i got stuck with the worst squad in the world. One guy hated the other and no one would listen to our squad leader. Heck no one cared about the objective, it didnt make any sense. After the round that we miraculously won due to another squad, i played again and ended up with my newfound squadmates. It. Was. Awesome. it really makes a difference when you play with people who are working towards the same goal.
All in all, my rating for this game will be 8.0 out of 10. Very very solid shooter with a few irks here and there. It takes a few things getting used to but this game can really become a killer app. It all depends on how you look at everything. If you like to run and gun, this game really isn't for you. But if you're like me and have always wanted a great coop experience (and was a little dissapointed by Socom Confrontation 7.2/10.0) then yes this game is a definite must buy.

Having friends........and not.......
I just was thinking about all the friends I have ever had. I've had some really great friends over the years and also some really lousy ones. Sad part is i think I've had more lousy ones than good ones. Now you can speculate as to who i consider lousy and who i consider good but I'm not telling you. I'm just stating that you know, I'm grateful. Grateful for all my friends who have taken any time to talk to me or say hi. Thankful for any friends who have sat down and talked to me. And i am especially thankful for the friends who have stuck with me through everything, especially now when I am starting to question my sanity and peace of mind (long story).
I'm tired of feeling like I'm not worth anything. I'm tired of trying to control every little thing. I'm tired of belittling myself because I've lost friends. Its not my fault I lost them. I guess I'm just trying to work things out right now. Wish me luck.
