I really like this site I'm just so lazy.  At least we've had a desk and chair for a while now so using the computer is much more comfortable.  Hopefully I'll post on this thing more often...

I had stopped playing DDR for years but I've gotten back into it lately, it's an amazing game.  The music is so appealing and they have so many great songs.  It's just about the only exercise I get too, so that always helps.  There is nothing like playing an awesome song and just totally nailing the steps.  Even if you pass a song it doesn't feel good if you're just flailing around trying desperately not to fail.  You've got to feel the flow!  I've never been better than I am now, but I still have a long way to go, and I want to learn Doubles!  SuperNOVA 2 was announced, which is pretty cool because they had a huge gap between DDR U.S.A. and SuperNOVA (the only two arcade versions officially released in America).  But now SuperNOVA 2 is coming out not too long after SuperNOVA so that is a good sign for DDR fans, particularly ones that live in America.  Before SuperNOVA the only way to really play DDR was foreign machines because DDR U.S.A. sucked horribly.  I just wish they would bring back E-Rotic and Captain Jack, they are a GLARING omission from the huge SuperNOVA song list.  One of my favorite songs is Xepher by Tatsh.  I did the song on Expert once but I think the machine I played on may have had a low difficulty setting.  I want to be able to beat it regularly but it takes a lot of energy.  You can listen to Xepher by clicking the play icon on the media player below:

I have put in my notice at work and with the company we rent our house from.  My last day of work is May 30 and my last day I'm allowed to be in this house is May 31.  I'm kind of nervous but I've been getting really bored.  I've pretty much lived in Ventura County my entire life and it will be nice to have a change.  Not to mention the fact that I can actually afford to live in a place with just Lyzz and myself without being completely broke.  Southern California is just completely out of control when it comes to living anywhere other than on the street.  I'm looking forward to all of the rain and trees in Washington, I've never been a fan of the beach, especially dirty ones like ours.

MySpace is such a pile of crap.  I just signed up for this site because it looks so awesome.  I'm not really much of a blogger so I probably won't post much.  If I ever was to blog this would be the place to do it.  The site also seems great for networking with friends.  MySpace has such a horrible design...it still makes me sad thinking about how successful it is.  Oh well, hopefully you'll see more posts from me, but don't get too hopeful!
