Step 22: Be On Team Steve Weibe

So, I finally watched the movie King of Kong: A Firstful of Quarters. It was delightful. For those of you who have not seen this movie, it is a documentary about people fighting for World Records in video game scores. Not modern video games, but old arcade video games. The movie centers around the fight for the top spot of the game "Donkey Kong." A man named Billy Mitchell had held the record since he was a kid and thinks that this makes him a badass. He is actually a huge loser who sells chicken wing sauce and whose wife will be ugly no matter how tan she gets or how big he makes her breasts.

ANYWAYS, Steve Weibe is just a nice guy from Washington. He has a wife and kids, but no job. He has experienced a lot of failure in his life. Steve is just the coolest guy. He isn't a freak like the rest of the gamers. Steve has a lot of extra time on his hands and starts playing Donkey Kong. He gets good and breaks Billy's record. Billy and his people are then on a crusade to discredit Steve's score. It's an excellent movie.

If you want to be me, you must watch this movie and then swear that you will spit on Billy Mitchell's face if you ever see him. He is a jerk and a butthole.

Go Steve Weibe!

Step 21: Have Redneck Roots

Since understanding my family is a somewhat important part to being me, I thought I should give you a brief introduction to a few of them. I just found these lovely pictures on my sister JoAnna's facebook.

This is my sister JoAnna with some friends of our family outside of the courthouse.

This is my sister JoAnna, sister Eleanor, and my mom. My mom got political ever since her new roll model Sarah Palin didn't make it into the White House.

This is my mom spreading evil conservative propaganda to today's youth.

Step 20: Write More Poetry

I lie awake at night
dreaming

dreaming

dreaming
of your big brown eyes
and big soft hands
and big dogs aren't
as comfortable to lay next to
as you.

And your hair
is a million strand essay on why
my finger tips
are the only way
to understand the miles
of you
stretched on my bed.

Step 17: Get Fat and Be Lazy

Normally I go to bed fairly early. I generally can't keep my sparkling blue eyes open past midnight. However, on Saturday, I stayed up all night watching movies. This forced me into a coma that carried over until today, Monday.

I layed in bed all day Sunday- napping and watching It's Always Sunning In Philadelphia. I left my bed only to go and pick up pizza from Pizza Hut and get juice and Ben & Jerry's from the store. I ate the pizza in my bed. I used tissues for napkins.

Monday, today, was a similar story. I slept until noon and then googled stuff for about two hours. I decided that I would likely get bed sores if I laid in bed any longer, so I left my house. To eat. Potstickers and whole grain fetuccini from Noodles and Company. After Noodles I decided I was too tired and worn out to go to class. So here I am. Back in my bed. Getting fat and being lazy.
