I don’t know if you guys remember from when I sent out my old phone, but I have a blackberry now. It’s pretty cool…except for the fact that I am now available 24/7. It’s f-ing ridiculous. My boss sends something on a Saturday night, and if I don’t respond by Sunday he gives me a hard time. It’s pretty messed up.
Well anyway, there are some cool things about having a Blackberry. The coolest, most rad thing of them all, is BRICK BREAKER! The game is ridiculously addictive. The other day, I FINALLY got to the last level, beat it, and started to cheer thinking I won and realized…THERE IS NO WINNING! They bring you back to level 1 and you just play through again…except this time you’re playing in hyper speed! It’s soo messed up.
So my high score now is 25,990! But being good at Brick Breaker isn’t always a cool thing. It’s one of those games you want to play every time you have some down time….and when do you have the most downtime when you’re a Blackberry toting, commuting, workaholic computer nerd?? I bet you guessed right…WHEN YOU’RE POOPING. But now, my average Brick Breaker game is wayyyy longer than my average poop and everyone thinks I have “bathroom problems” now. It’s kinda embarrassing.
Well, all this Brick Breaker lately had me rummaging through old boxes to try and find my original Nintendo, and just as importantly, one of my old favorite games…ARKANOID! (basically the exact same game as BB) But after finally finding everything and hooking it up, remembering that I had to stick a cassette tape in my Nintendo because the spring or latch or something broke inside of it, I realized, my Nintendo…is busted. TOTAL BUMMER.
So…I am going to make someones day very very very very happy. Today I’m sending out Arkanoid, and in the next few days I’m gonna send out the rest of my old Nintendo games. Treat them nicely. Please. This is a tough time for me.
