Things I Hate #1

The holiday season is upon us and that means that car companies are running their lame ass commercials in which somebody gets a car with a giant bow from their significant other.

God I can't stand those! Who really gets a brand new freaking Lexus for Christmas?! I don't know anybody who has and, to be honest, I'd probably hate them for getting such an extravagant gift for Christmas. The only people who can afford do to shit like this are the ridiculously wealthy and it's probably like their 7th car of the year. Why don't you take that money you'd spend on an uneccessary car and give it to the poor.

...also if you want me to stop my scathing bad mouthing of you upper class fat cats send the money to me. I'll make sure it goes to all the most needy strippers and high class prostitutes this holiday season!

The Michael Peters 30th Birthday Celebrity Roast

As some of you may have heard I am planning on holding a roast of myself for my 30th birthday. Ideally it will not be some sort of half assed lets gather at someone's house and make jokes about Mike. No, no! I plan on it being an elaborate affair complete with booze, food, rented meeting space, and professional video production.

I'm starting to look around for possible meeting space to rent and wanted to see just how much my "friends" would be willing to pay to attend what will be the best 30th birthday party you'll ever attend. So I created the below poll to judge what sort of ticket price would be reasonable and thus what sort of meeting space could be reserved.

So please, fill it out and remember - I only turn 30th like 3 or 4 times in my life, would you dare miss one of those times?!

Hair Nets

You know if I worked at a place that required you to wear hair nets and I had a beard and they told me I had to put one of those beard nets on before I work - I'd totally quit that job.

Funny But True!

Look what I saw on the Yahoo! Homepage today. Hilarious!

Lost: Via Domus Review

So as most of you have figured out - I'm a big fan of Lost. Thus I had no choice when the Lost video game Via Domus came out, I had to buy it. I have now played through it and beaten it and here are my thoughts, which I'm sure all of you were waiting to hear until deciding whether to purchase the game or not:

The Good:
- It is fun to run around in the Lost world. Most of your favorite sets are available to play around in: the beach, jungle, Black Rock, Swan, Flame, Hydra.
- Some of the Lost actors did their own voices. Sun, Ben, Tom, Claire
- The way they handle each level is laid out just like a Lost episode. You have a brief intro, something crazy happens and the Lost logo pops up and then the level begins. Then each level finishes with something crazy happening and the Lost logo pops up again.
- The music is either directly from the show or a very good cover.

The Bad:
- The game is short
- The game is ridiculously easy
- The story isn't that great
- The Lost characters who aren't played by their actual actors sound stupid. Locke sounds like a crazy native american shaman for petes sake!
- The ending doesn't make sense. Although that is par for the course in the Lost world...

So my advice to you is either rent it or borrow it from me cause it's not worth $60. Sadly :(

Hawaii > Atlanta

So I get back from Hawaii and Atlanta slaps me in the face with 20 degree weather, what's up with that?

The trip was great, I think I've officially done everything worth doing on the isle of Oahu. If I ever make it over there again I guess I'll have to spread out to other islands.

Behold - Otherville!
