Random Thoughts

We all wonder the deeper meaning of life and try to put together some sense in this crazy world. For example, why do we drive on a parkway and park in a driveway? And would a fly without wings be called a walk? These questions are beyond our realm of knowledge and understanding... I guess we will never know. I would also like to know why you have to be 25 to rent a car, without paying a hefty fine. Why?? You get your license when you are 16 and are free to drive any car you want - so why do you have to wait 9 years to rent one? Am I a better driver than I was the day before I turned 25? Hardly. The day before I turned 25 was my bachelorette party. I really should not have been driving that day :) But someone really needs to answer these questions for me. I want to know.



Yesterday Andrew and I found ourselves in Manch for a bit, and I was introduced to the Wonderful World of Guitar Hero. I really wasn't good, but it was really fun.

For those of you who have not been introduced to this fabulous game, you play it with the above "Guitar". It's a video game where you play the guitar in the manner similar to Dance Dance Revolution, in which the notes fall down from the top of the screen and you have to hit them once they get to the bottom. You have to hit the right note and strum it at the right time or you don't hit it and it doesn't play the music. There's also a way to make the long notes.... vibrate, I guess, for lack of better word. You get points for how many notes you hit and there are special notes that get you more points and at the end of the song it's set up like an arcade game - basically a high score list and you put your initials in. Anyway it is really fun. I want Andrew to buy it for the xBox 360! I'm not good at it at all.... though I did manage to hit most of the notes for Possum Kingdom by the Toadies (if you don't recognize this song, google it. You know it. If you were alive in like 1996, you know it). I tried a harder Van Halen song, but I failed the song :( This is why I NEED that video game. You can also have two people playing the song, or have one play the bass guitar on the song. I'm not sure how that competition works, but it sounds fun.

BTW, I am loving this 70 degree weather!
