I haven't updated this in a little while, but, the Philadelphia Eagles have finally won a SuperBowl!
It was so awesome to get to see this team make history! I'm so proud of the Eagles on their win and so proud of Nick Foles for leading his team to a victory, as a backup. There's obviously no way the Eagles will have both Wentz and Foles next year, but man, what a deadly combination of talented young QBs they had all season. I don't know who will stay and who will go, but either way, the Eagles should be a good team for the next few years!
I wish I had more to say but I'm just not in much of a writing mood right now.
Anyway, go Broncos go Eagles... and bring on this Rockies season!
*UPDATE*: I guess Foles will be back after all...

Translating Old Love Letters
...at least I think they're old love letters.
A few years ago, my dad found a box of old letters. They appear to be old love letters, possibly from the 1920s-30s. I only have a few of the letters, sadly. I wish he still had the box, but it's long gone now. I've tried my luck at translating them a couple of times, but I just can't make out the handwriting on a few them.
If you can read these, please feel free to let me know what they say! I know they're just meaningless letters, but it would be fun to actually know what they say. It's kind of interesting to me!

July 25 (July 25, or July 1925?)
Dear:
You little sweet thing. How on earth an
iceberg of a girl like you could possibly
write such a letter is beyond me. Honestly
Dear that letter was as nice a letter as you
could have written and how it cheered me. The
boys all kidded me about "well we won't
get much work out of Howard today since
he has his nose pushed into his newspaper."
That letter still has me going round & round.

Football Rant #2/The Broncos Win the SUPERBOWL
The Denver Broncos did it! They won SuperBowl 50!
I don't even know what the hell to say, I'm so proud of this team!
Now, about that football game...
First, here is an old pic of me on the day that Denver played Seattle in SuperBowl XLVIII. I had no idea that the Broncos were going to get their asses handed to them that day. This picture has nothing to do with this blog post, I just thought it was funny to see.
Obviously the defense was responsible for securing the win, but let's not take away from the offense, they moved the ball on quite a bit of plays that set up those field goals. This was a team effort, and the better team was thankfully the Broncos! I think Peyton Manning should retire after this one. He should go out on top in my opinion, but the guy lives for football. I'll support whatever Manning decides to do, and I'm still going to rock my Broncos Manning jersey!
The Panthers had an incredible season as well. I know you can't take away that bad feeling of a loss, especially when it's a SB loss, but their fans need to understand that they still made it to the SuperBowl. They were still the best team of the NFC, and just about EVERYONE picked Carolina to win. The Panthers beat some really good teams this season to achieve the record that they achieved, but unfortunately for them, none of those teams could compare to what the Broncos were this season.
I've only lived in Colorado for about 9 years. When I moved here, I was 17. I'm from Oklahoma, and we don't have any professional football teams there, only colleges to root for. My team used to be the Philadelphia Eagles, and it still is, but ever since I moved to Colorado, I've been on the Broncos bandwagon. People can think I'm "fake" for it or whatever, but I live here for fucks sake, and I was also around for the Cutler and Tebow days, so I feel that I've had my share of letdowns with this team.
It basically goes like this: My NFC Team = Eagles, My AFC Team = Broncos.
I can't really think of anything else to mention, so, thanks for reading.
GO BRONCOS!

Football Rant #1
The Denver Broncos did it again, they are going to another SuperBowl!
I'm so proud of this team! ...but most of all, really proud of Peyton. He's gotten a lot of hate over the years just because he's a good QB, bottom line. He had a rough season, and as a fan it was pretty hard to watch. The guy is a class act on and off of the field, hate him or love him, and he will always be one of the greatest football players to ever play in the NFL. We'll be hearing about him for a while, so you better get used to it.
Congrats to the Patriots and the Cardinals, they both had really great seasons, and the fact that they made it as far as they did says a lot. You have to be a good team to make it into the NFL Playoffs, and you have to be the best team so that you can continue to advance.
Sure, people are always going to say that teams "suck" when they don't make it to (and win) the SuperBowl, but those people aren't real sports fans. They're people who more than likely just sit on the internet, waiting for the opportunity to start any possible type of argument that they can start, because they're obviously bored and don't have much better to do. It also bothers me how people claim to be fans of a specific team and then bash an individual on that team because of a bad play or just bad plays in general. If you like a team, you don't talk crap about the team, the players, or the staff. Show some class ffs.
Carolina is going to be a really tough team, and we all don't want a repeat of the last SuperBowl where Denver faced Seattle... Obviously, I want the Broncos to win it all, but win or lose, it's been an incredibly fun fucking season to watch!
I've said it on Twitter already, but I'll say it again: I love this team, I love their fans and I LOVE the great state of Colorado!
GO BRONCOS!

Blah Blah Blah
I really need to start using this more. I seem to like to "get into" things at the same time that everyone else is getting out of them.
Anyway, I'll try to think of some shit to post here eventually. Thanks for stopping/stalking by! ;)

Life Changing Shit... / Crohn's Disease
It's been a little while since I updated this thing, and this time I actually have something to talk about!
At around the beginning of this year, I began noticing that I was starting to feel "different". I started feeling sick at my stomach a lot, and it got so bad that it stopped me from doing daily things. It eventually just got worse to the point where I couldn't even hold down 3 or 4 bites of food without feeling the need to puke. I finally went to the hospital about it a few weeks ago, and after having a colonoscopy I have found out that I have Crohn's Disease.
I will be starting a medication soon called Remicade that can only be given through a 2-hour IV infusion. I will eventually get to the point where I will do this every 8 weeks, probably for the rest of my life, if all goes well.
Although it does suck to be me. I'm definitely trying to make the best of what's left to live of my life. It's crazy, but in a way, being diagnosed with CD has sort of opened up my eyes to living a little bit more. I always used to be so sour towards everything, and now that I actually have a reason to be sour towards everything, it's like I don't even want to be that way anymore. That was the old me, this is the new me.
Having a positive attitude is the key to a happy life, no God required.

Addicted to Minecraft
Fucking a, I can't get enough of it! I used to run a server for the classic version a while back, don't get me wrong, still fun, but nowhere near as fun as the real game itself. Just getting to use the basic things like the crafting tools, torches and doors was enough to start getting me hooked. The recent piston update is really bad ass, and makes it really easy to have hidden doors, secret passageways and other really cool shit. My brother and I currently have a server, and anybody is allowed to join it by going to "dirtsmoke.no-ip.org". You will have to be listed to build, though.
I've still been at Terraria, too! My laptop recently just decided to take a shit on me after installing Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (Stay away from that fucking shit!). Of all the things to fuck my computer up, it's an official update... heh, go figure. Anyway, I'm just sort of waiting on the new Terraria update. The team always seems to surprise us with something cool!
I guess I'm going to finally dust off my 360, and try out Total Miner. Just heard about this on Reddit, I wonder if it would be worth it?

Terraria
"Dig, fight, explore, build! Nothing is impossible in this action-packed adventure game. The world is your canvas and the ground itself is your paint."
This fucking game is amazing. It's like Minecraft but based more on adventuring. You just have to try it! I'm hooked myself, and have purchased my copy! :D
The game is available for $10 on Steam. Support the developer by buying this awesome piece of work... and get free updates!
Official Site
There's still more to come!

Emulation + PSP HBL
Been a lil' bit since an update. That last update was just a depressed rant, lol.
Anyway, let's see here. I've been getting back into emulators recently mainly due to the Patapon2 hbl hack for the PSP. This allows users to run homebrews on 6.20 firmware... Which is sadly the firmware I've had for a while since I got my PSP just last year. :(
I've also been playing some Final Fantasy 4. I've wanted to get into FF for a while but never really knew of a good place to start other than just playing I-(whatever number they're at now).
Ehh, anyway...yeah.
Dirt Smoke is down and undergoing some changes as well. We're no longer going to be the "community about anything and everything".

Wow, already 2010...
Already another year gone. It's crazy how when you get older, days seem so shorter, eh? Growing up almost seems to take no time anymore, and you eventually find yourself growing out of things you used to like.
Anyway, aside the stoner talk, a lot of crazy shit happened this year, celebrity-wise. Fawcett, Swayze, Mays, Jackson, Murphy... I missed others, but these seemed most crazy to me. I thought it was really awesome how Patrick Swayze was using medical marijuana for his cancer, just the fact that it was sort of publicly announced.
What else happened this year... OH! Modern Warfare 2 came out. It's without a doubt in my opinion, GOTY. The game just doesn't seem to get boring. I admit, I'm getting a bit tired of the stock maps, but I know they're going to be releasing a/some map pack(s) soon. Just a matter of time!
Balloon Boy, anyone? Lmao. EVERYBODY should know this was a hoax by now. If you don't, you're a retard.
First black president! Yeah! A little different at first, but, as I figured, wouldn't be nothing new. Our country is still doing shitty, and I'm pretty sure nothing has "changed". Honestly, I don't care much about politics, so, I want to make it 100% clear I'm not putting Obama down, just stating the truth.
Shit, I think that about sums it up for all I cared about this year. Happy New Year EVERYONE!
Drink up for me tonight! ;)

Worth A Blog Post
Ahhhh, football was fucking great today. The Dallas @ Denver game was amazing.
Now, let me start of by saying that I am a Eagles fan. I was born in Oklahoma, and sadly, we don't have a pro football team, just college teams. I sort jumped on the Denver bandwagon after moving to Colorado, they're basically my second favorite team now, and yes, it's because I live here.
Anyway, I have a few friends in Oklahoma that are Dallas fans, so, this game almost felt like a superbowl to me... or at least a playoff game. The game seemed slow-paced, and Dallas held the lead for a while, but Denver came back, and won that shit. Dallas almost came right back and tied it up for OT though, and they got close, really really close.
It was a great game and I HAD to write a blog post about it. It had some significant meaning... that, and anytime Dallas and Philadelphia meet!

FIRST POST! (CAPS)
Well, let's get this shit started, shall we? I have no clue what this is going to be about, but, anyway...
I can't wait until the 360 update with Facebook, Last.fm and Twitter! It feels like I've been waiting forever since they first showed us a glimpse of the shit, now I can't wait to try it all out. I actually got to beta test the most recent update (The gold membership for so many years thing, the new added avatar props, etc...) and it was pretty bad ass. Hopefully MS will let some people beta test this next release too.
Hurry that shit up! Microsoft!
Also, Quake LIVE fucking owns. It's quake, but it can be played in a browser, with your friends and all! Shawn Caution told me about it, and I'm fucking glad he did, the game is awesome! My name on there is Ar4vix. I fucked up the first time on my email part of the registration somehow mysteriously, and I couldn't get my original "Aravix" name, so, I had to settle with this name.
The Aravix name has sort of felt dead to me ever since I figured out there was an actual company called "Aravix", though. I think it's some German auto-part website, I'm not really that sure.
