Johnny Saturday's Fresh Cookies: But no one READS blogs!

It's time for some EPIC MUSIC!

Let's define irony for a minute here. The grande old Dictionary.com defines it as:

1.	the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning: the irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend.

Literature.

a.	a technique of indicating, as through character or plot development, an intention or attitude opposite to that which is actually or ostensibly stated.

b.	(esp. in contemporary writing) a manner of organizing a work so as to give full expression to contradictory or complementary impulses, attitudes, etc., esp. as a means of indicating detachment from a subject, theme, or emotion.

3.	Socratic irony.

4.	dramatic irony.

5.	an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected.

6.	the incongruity of this.

7.	an objectively sardonic style of speech or writing.

8.	an objectively or humorously sardonic utterance, disposition, quality, etc.

Why am I talking about this? Because, although my blog is called Johnny Saturday's, I rarely update on Saturdays. Just an interesting little thing that I was musing about.

So, let's see here. Some news for you guys. Hmm... Well, as some of you may know, the 3rd quarter ended on Friday. That means that I have entered the final stretch, that holy place where all knowledge and pain reside. This is the point where my instructors will be going all out to put as much pain into my poor life as they can. That's ok, that's their job, no hard feelings.

I never quite talk about all the games that I play in this blog. I may allude to some DotA rounds, or perhaps a particular song in GHIII that happens to be kicking my ass, but I never truly express how much these things have an effect on my life. At this point, I'm seriously considering doing JUST THAT. *What now face.* What now, punk? What NOW?!!?

Just to start things off, let's talk about DotA. Out of every game I play, it is probably the one that I have put the most time into and is the one that I am the best at. I'm not quite at the level of, say, Team Pandemic or MYM, but I am trying to work my way into money leagues. That's right. Soon, I hope to step myself up from Amateur to Semi-pro. Will my winnings be in the thousands like the guys above? No, but hey, it's just a game, right? I don't know how many of you out there have any idea what I'm talking about, but if you have a copy of Warcraft III and you wouldn't mind downloading the official DotA map from here, (http://getdota.com/) I'll show the replays from last night's clan inhouse.

Here is the first one. Pay no attention to my poor early game. Slow it down at around 37 minutes. http://www.dota-allstars.com/replay/36649/index.html And here's the second one. http://www.dota-allstars.com/replay/36650/index.html My name is Lancen833[herd] and I play on Lordaeron. (US West) Drop me a line.

I don't know about you guys, but I am SUPER PSYCHED to play SSBB. It looks like it is going to be every bit as good as the first two. Although, I hear that they nerfed my favorite character, Peach, quite a bit. -_- Somehow, come hell or high-water, I will end up playing this game. I have waited FAR TOO LONG.

While on the topic of Super Smash Brothers, I recently downloaded an emulator for the old school N64 games onto my computer. It's a little funky playing them with keyboard controls, but I play on buying a wired Xbox 360 controller, which I need anyways, and using that. Oh, and the nostalgia I'm getting from beating Ocarina of Time and Starfox again is priceless.

Enough about games though, huh? It's time to talk about the other things in life. Things like Jeeps. Yesterday we took the top off of Tucker's Jeep. It is soooooooooo much easier to get into now. However, it had the unintended consequence of being COMPLETELY AWESOME. I hope it doesn't rain or anything, because that would suck for him. Like, REALLY SUCK. Heh.

Golf season started up last week, and I am looking fine. I have a decent swing all of the sudden. (Why?) I've even already won a bet with Ryan. (8 bucks I'll never get...) Hopefully all of my skill on the driving range carries over to the course and I can finally play a good round of golf. (And possible win another 20 bucks from Brandon) Who knows?
