It looks like here we have another one of everyone typical 'good news, bad news' blogs. So I'll start with the bad news first ... so maybe you can leave on a happy note ... or not ...

THE BAD:

- I guess you can just say last night was a rather emotional night for me - one of my best friends was having rather suicidal thoughts last night and it was rather depressing and taking a toll ... but I spent some time with him today and things are much better, but I hope things work better. He has a really large backstory behind him that supports some of his actions, though it would be too much to post in a blog - and I'll respect that part of his privacy. Well at least he is okay.

- I found out last week that I am bi-polar. Okay well honestly this isn't something that I would consider bad, however I guess now I know the cause of a some rather annoying intervals of depression that haunts my emotions for periods at a time ... but hey, honestly I am happy that I know what the cause is. As of now I should be on three medications ... however, one causes drowsiness so I can only take it on weekends, and the other two I am not sure what to make of them. So with that, I think I'm just going to be put on Prozac ... just like the rest of my family!

THE GOOD:

- Lots of good gaming news for Nintendo fans ... yes, there has been plenty of good gaming news for Nintendo fans. To begin with, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Sonic the Hedgehog, and some positive impressions of the gameplay demo make me really excited for the game! Though while Smash Bros. was delayed, it is only two months and the longer, well I think we can expect the game to be better. As well, there were also some new information for Advance Wars DS 2, Mario Baseball on the Wii, Fire Emblem on the DS, and ... Link's Crossbow Training ... though honestly that's something I'm not exactly keeping close tabs on.

- The New Zunes come out soon. Hardly something to be excited about for most of you, but what the hell ... I'm looking forward to it. Of course I will be picking up the Zune 80 GB so ... or I am pretty sure I am

Well hey guys - haven't blogged much in awhile, a bit of the same - more or less busy with school and some other things, but other than that, life is pretty good. So if some of you know, as of last weekend I went to a concert to see the band: The Used.

Well, they were playing at an annual local event sponsored by our local radio show called the X96 Big Ass Show, and it was a large showcasing of bands and different sets of music ... From 11:00 in the morning until 6:00 in the evening, it was a nice long event full of loud music, crazh mosh pits, crowd surfing, and tons of fun. I hope you're familiar with some of the bands that played:

- Victim Effect
- Schoolyard Heroes
- Madina Lake
- The Starting Line
- Cold War Kids
- Sum 41
- Jimmy Eat World
- Social Distortion
- The Used

I hope you're familiar with at least one of these bands - I can't think of a reason why you shouldn't be.

Obviously, I went mostly appearing for the last band, The Used - whom they also come from Utah. So yes it was a fantastic show, Jimmy Eat World, and Madina Lake put on a great show - plenty of moshing, crowd surfing - though a lot of contact with sweaty people and scents of body odor weren't exactly the greatest thing ...

Though its been about two days since the concert - and I'm still sore from moshing, as well as crowds pushing towards the center of the stage to get closer to the artists. Well it was a fun night that I'll definitely remember, and I'll definitely be looking forward to it again next year.

Heehee ... yes honestly ... it's only about 8:45 but I"m dead tired ... just a crazy week with more homework and talking late on the phone last night about all kinds of things with Chantel, but hey I guess it was still good ... But in other news, of course, if you're completely oblivous to the blog title then of you course you should know that some point in this blog will it contain something about:

Zelda Phantom Hourglass:


Ahh yes another Zelda game at long last, it's fantastic. Honestly I haven't been too hyped about this game lately, or even any type of game for that matter (I haven't even played Metroid Prime 3 in awhile because I've been too busy or too tired, sad ... I still got to play through that one) but hey.
Well the good news is, once I turned on the DS and watched the opening video of Phantom Hourglass, I was immediately transported back into wonderful memories of the Wind Waker and I felt I was back in 2003 all over again ... well more or less, and in a good way. I'm having much fun with this game so far, even if the controls are a bit different to get used to, they sound like they can get quite fun later on ...
Though I've only played the game for about 40 minutes ... and now it's time for me to go to bed and get some sleep, how depressing ... oh well that's how life works!

Well in other news, I guess there's another concert I'm attending this weekend, which I mentioned about twelve times in every blog for the last two months ... Yes The Used is coming to Utah this Saturday and I can't wait, it should be exciting.
I'll probably post a few updates about what happens at the concert, though it shouldn't be anything too crazy ...

And in other news, Microsoft is supposed to reveal the new Zune to the world a little bit later tonight, fun! Well good night gamers.

Sorry for a rather un-interesting blog with well ... nothing much at all.

P.S. The new SSBB video of Solid Snake, and the Super Mario Galaxy intro surfaces - wonderful.
