Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! Hope it's a wonderful day today where you are. I'm not the most church going fellow. In fact I don't go at all. Don't agree with the agenda and dogma of most local churches. But I am Christian and this day is special to me. But even for folks of different faiths it should be a day of fun. We are having gorgeous weather today and people are out having egg hunts and doing outdoor stuff. It's a good day for a bike ride or a hike I'd say.


Or you could just feed the bunnies! Hope you brought enough food for him. He thinks you look mighty tasty.....mmmm.....yummy! Don't try to pet him or you could lose a finger!


    But later on I'll be playing Bioshock Infinite. I had a coupon for 10 bucks off from PowerUp points at Gamestop. So we picked it up yesterday for 50. I have to say it was well worth the wait. It's every bit as gorgeous as Halo 4 visually. But with it's own unique style and artistry. The gameplay is well done,too. You are introduced to the mecanics of the game by fun little games at a sort of carnival. Use of weapons and vigors[the potions that give you special abilities]are shown to you right away. You meet up with Elizabeth not long after the game begins. She remains your companion and powerful ally as the story unfolds.


    I won't go into details about the story. This game has been talked about so much you are all probably familiar with it. I will say i was surprised by the racial undertones to the troubles with society in the clouds. A new Eden? Hardly...seems pretty messed up to me. But i guess that's the point. Every story needs a hero[or heroine!],a bad guy,conflict,enemies,struggles,and victory. The prophet and leaders of the city are not at all what they seem to be at first.


   Speaking of enemies...can't wait until I get to fight George Washington,the angry robot! The game has some pretty graphic fight sequences early on. Lots of blood is spilled and bodies get wrecked. I was sort of expecting that but.....wow! Pretty gruesome in parts. Not for the squeamish if that's not to your liking. But the game is dripping with beauty as well. I just have to stop sometimes and look all around me. It is such a wondrous place to behold. Still trying to figure out how they keep all of it afloat in the air. Perhaps the answers to that mystery lie ahead.And then to top my day off? Season finale of The Walking Dead. Tonight is the climactic battle with the Governor. Tonight we find out who lives and who dies. Hopefully the Governor goes down hard. I hope that Daryl gets the honor on that one. He deserves it very much.

What I'm listening to today.........

I have to say something here. I've had my childhood violated by Glee and then by Rock Of Ages. They need to leave it alone. This is the original and the best. One of the songs that brings back good memories from my high school years. It was from the album "Escape" if that tells you anything about me! I wanted out of that place. But I hung in and finished it out.

I just ate my yearly Cadbury egg.  That's Easter for me. Later: Ham.

Mmmmm....ham! Now that's good stuff. I like really good smoked ham and the Honeybaked hams from Hamlet. Very tasty indeed.

Couldn't quite get into that first song, but that might be my speakers' fault. Only one works for the left channel where I sit, so maybe the ambient nature of that song from what I'm hearing will work better with some headphones.

I definitely hear what you're saying on "Don't Stop Believin'" though, I have a passionate distaste for its Glee cover. Much prefer the original, can't stand that "safe for Big Lots radio" Glee version. I guess they're voices technically are good, but it just doesn't match the passion of Perry and the band.

Man, I really need to play all the Bioshocks if I ever get something to play them on.That game sounds awesome. Can't speak on Walking Dead, haven't seen it or read the comics, as I'm not a huge zombie fan, to be honest. I liked Hot Fuzz more than Shaun of the Dead, and I liked Zombieland mostly cause Woody Harrelson played a modern day cowboy. lol

As for Easter, I'm not much of a church goer myself for different reasons, but it certainly is a nice day for family and fun, and kids love Easter Eggs! My mom made some sweets for today, which look tasty; damn my diet! lol It's definitely nice out where I am, which is why I'm opting to walk to the gym today. Might be closed, but either way, I get my walk in, and enjoy this beautiful weather.

Happy Easter!

I really hope Steve Perry returns to music someday. He said he was thinking about it a few years ago. He's got over 30 songs he has written since leaving Journey. Said he'd like to record some of them for an album. I hope you get a chance to play Bioshock at some point. It's one no one should miss out on. Hope you have a nice Easter as well. Nice to know there are some others who feel as I do about church. Here in the "bible belt" it's kind of rare when I meet them.

Happy Easter,Celt! I loved the first two Bioshocks though I did think they ran a bit on the short side. That's quite the bunny there. Watch out for the sharp pointy teeth!

We had a big,fat bunny like that once. About half the size of that one,but still pretty huge. He laid around the house much like our cats,would curl up and sleep with them.

Happy Easter back, even though I'm a non-believer. Clannad is hit or miss with me, love some of their stuff, other stuff not so much. Have you ever watched the BBC series Robin of Sherwood? Clannad did the music for the show and it really fit.

Hope you're having a good time today,Tami. I have seen that series and I love the music. Clannad are at their best when doing more traditional music. They do some songs that are just straight up light pop. Not my favorite songs at all. Maire Brennan has a voice more suited for folk and Celtic.

Happy Easter man! I also got Infinite for $50. Though I pre-ordered that like 5 months ago on a deal. And I'm still waiting for it in the mail!

Hope you had a good Easter as well. I got to head home to my parent's place for the weekend spend it with family, so that was nice. Stuck at work today, though. I miss Easter Monday!
