Had an awesome time at Video Games Live yesterday!
Had to drive all the way to the other side of Miami, atleast an hour drive on the expressway.

Show starts at 8 but me and a friend got there at noon. We went to a huge flea market where they had loads of cool cheap crap, rides, and a drive in movie theater. Friend bought a sword cane, a hat, and coins from the soviet union under $10 and i got a WWII German and American Helmet for $22. Had to bargain the guy, he wanted $75.
Afterwards we went to Burgerking for a quick bite and headed to the Museum of Science. The dude at the window said it was $12 to get which was a rip off, but when we went in an old employee told us the museum was closing in 30 minutes go get your money back and come back. We got our money back and when we came back the old man let us in for FREE. He was awesome.

Then we walked around the old historical district where they had loads of old buildings and vehicles.

Last was the show which was completely awesome, they played Metal Gear, Sonic, Kingdom Heats, Warcraft, Halo, Zelda, Final Fantasy 7, Castlevania, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, and alot more.Few composers were there, Martin Leung was there and played Mario blind folded on the piano.

Had another shitty day at School. Why go to freakin' school if you're just their to act like an asshole, seriously. (sorry for the small rant. I usually do that.)

And, i was trying to download the EVE Online Demo, but it's already been 2 days since i started the download on Steam. So i just cancelled it :<

In our Economics class, we're playing the virtual stock market amongst the whole senior class. I'm not doing so well seeing I've dropped to last place after playing for only a week. At least it's not real money. :P

Yeah, this was my day.

Lately, I've been feeling almost dizzy a lot from working and being on the computer. Even though I try to break away from the computer and walk around, it's still kinda there. But last night after sleeping, I started having a slight ringing in my ears that won't go away. I usually have the radio on set to low static at night for background noise and sometimes it emits a low annoying sound. I'm not sure if that has screwed me up or something else is wrong with my head.

It feels gooooood to be back here.

...ok, I haven't actually returned, as I'm typing from my brothers' computer. I'm sill in an on/off switch, and all I have is a goddamn cellphone to browse Twiiter and Facebook and the Wii's Internet Channel to get in here.

Anyway, some good grades, and this Saturday I might work in a convention, so, all's good. :D
I live here now!

My stock troubles are over...for now. Invested in the right company in the right time. Made 5,000 Monopoly dollars and bumped up to 4th place.

Then I watched Pee Wee's Playhouse on HBO. The new one that was on Broadway, not the 80s one. Hella nostalgic for me. Grew up on the show. He didn't have his scooter at the end, though, so I was like WTF.

Updates on myself: getting sick, hating my "senior promise" of 1) no energy drinks and 2) limit of 1 can (12 fl. oz. / 355 mL) of soda max a day. I'm a sodaholic, and this is getting to me.

Holiday's great. The hotel has a 24 hour food servise, indoor pools, outdoor pools, free minibar and bowling arena. It Also has a game room with so many video games and I nearly finished House of the Dead 4 when I ran out of tokens. Pretty cool.

But I've realized that with my joy, I also got homeworks that I have to do before going back to school and I have left all my school work at Iran so I kinda can't enjoy it much.
