    Oh lol.. [​IMG]

    Oh btw, 3 games that I played growing up are like legendary to me:

    Mario Bros on Super Nintendo
    Sonic on Sega
    Street Fighter in both arcade and Sega.

    I think I'd put Street Fighter #1 on my list.

    BTW, who here has an XBOX.

    I've got a 360. Are those still worth something? I'm thinking about pawning mine off, because I've never really played it.

    I haven't played a lot of video games since I was a kid. When I was like 10-12 years old, I used to play games like Super Mario (Super Nintendo) and Zelda (the original one for the N64 platform) for hours on end. Tomb Raider (original Playstation) was another one of my favorites, but when I broke that out recently, I couldn't get into it the same way I could as a kid.

    Now whenever I play video games, it's usually something like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, NBA Live '05, or NCAA 2k6, but it's rare that I even play those.

    Most of my 360's use is as a DVD player, which I have two or three of already in the house going unused.

    It's wierd when random people add you on facebook. So far, luckily, it's only been girls that have added me, and I'll just accept them cause they took the time to actually request being my friend or whatever. If a dude left 10 straight like that on my wall, I'd probably delete him after the 3rd or 4th comment (if they were that wierd).

    If any stranger requests to be my friend, I reject them. If anyone I know but don't want as a friend requests to be one, I just ignore them so I can always save face later and be like, "Oh, you requested to be my friend? Sorry, I haven't looked at my friend requests in a while."

    Facebook is great for when you go off to college. I didn't use it back when I enrolled at Michigan, but now that I'm transferring down to Tulane, I'm really finding that it's a good tool to meet people from the school before you actually head down there. It takes a lot of anxiety out of actually arriving at a new school if you already know a lot of people there through Facebook.

    I just got into a huge argument with my friend who was playing Les Paul after dinner. His argument - "The man is an amazingly talented musician from a technical standpoint, and he was such an innovator. The guy made the electric guitar what it is today." Me - "Yeah, but I just don't like his music. This song you're playing of his sounds like a 1940's showtune. It doesn't matter how technically advanced a piece of music is. If I don't find it pleasing to my ears, it's as good as **** to me." We agreed to disagree and went on to argue about whether or not Zeppelin and the Stones suck. Then that got so heated I had to go to another room just to calm down. I didn't want to get into a fight over something stupid like an argument about music. In hindsight, the whole conversation seems really petty, but we're both passionate about music, so much so that it scares me.

    God I hate job interviews, I had another one today, and have another tomorrow. They ask you the most stupid, inane questions, the guy today actually asked me "Why do you want a job?". Then they want to know your weaknesses, geez, why dont I just tell you I'm sh*t? Or how about what your previous co-workers think about you, oh ok, I'll just peer into my crystal ball and get back to you. Then they throw you "how do you deal with boring work?", hmmmm... I dont know, maybe do what I'm paid to do, THE WORK!!

    GAH!! Stupid interview questions!

    LMAO, yeah....I remember when I took a Communication Applications class in high school, and we had to play out a job interview with our teacher....I remember her asking me a retarded ass question like "if you were a tool in a tool box which tool would you be???"......fortunately my current employer didn't ask me any questions like that when I interviewed for this job.

    Yeah I've gotten close to cursing people out when it comes to music arguments...back when I was attending junior college me and a group of guys would get into them all the time.

    I was reading an article on how to do a good interview and when they ask you questions about your weaknesses your supposed to make them sound positive. For example, 'one of my weaknesses is sometimes I overwork myself' or 'sometimes I'm too detailed in my work'. Stuff like that.

    Although I haven't hear a lot of their material from what I have heard I don't really care for the Stones that much.

    I haven't heard much of them either, although "Sympathy for the Devil" was a cool song.

    I've only had 2 job interviews but I just BSed them like crazy. Luckily I'm good at making sh*t up on the fly because thats what my dad has taught me to do since a young age. Got both jobs the day of the interview. They do ask the most retarded questions though and I'm guessing the "what are your weaknesses?" one probably comes up in most interviews. Basically you're right you just spin everything positively even if it sounds completely unrealistic.

    And then in retail after you get the job you have to go through all these stupid little course things on the computer. The woman who hired me was like "well I used to tell people to answer honestly but the last 3 people haven't passed to just say what they want to hear" which I would have obviously done anyway.

    95% of what I say in interviews/resume/application is a lie. When I get asked why I quit my last job I say that I was pursuing college. PSYCHE. I leave off the job I got fired from on my resume. I have an interview today and I shall bs through that as well.

    Had an agency interview today, and I have actual interview at a clothing store tommorow. Hopefully I get the clothing store job with full-time hours cause I hate working in warehouses. The agency lady already told me I can start the warehouse job on Thursday, but I told her I'd get back to her, cause I want to see how the interview goes first.

    I've had 3 or so interviews in my life, and only one of them has been hard. My first job, the interview was basically "what is your greatest weakness and strength" and what not, and my second job wasn't even really an interview, he just asked me what skills I had, and what the last movie I had watched was (lol it was for a movie theatre).

    I had another interview at a clothing store back in November or so, and I completely ****** up that one. It's the same questions in every interview, they just spin it at you in different ways, and it basically depends on how you handle it; your demeanor, voice, expressions, and confidence level can pretty much get you the job.

    This reminds me of Will Smith getting that job in Pursuit of Happyness despite coming to the interview in a wife-beater and pants with paint stains on them.

    THE DREAM needs your help

    I just created my new myspace profile but for some damn reason it's not letting me post any songs or videos on my profile page. I'm trying to use certain html codes, but none of them are working....does anyone know of a html code that I can use to post either videos or songs?
