I live in California, a few hours north of San Francisco. I mention this because when people think California, they think lots of sunshine. I wish someone would tell mother nature that little fact. We are experiencing rain in mid May. It really makes it hard to operate my sheep fondling business. I mean nobody calls you to come fondle sheep in the rain and mud, that just makes it weird. Old mother nature needs to think about us self employed folks the bitch.

Between illness and shit weather I am as close to broke as it gets for me. Which makes wasting money on video games almost impossible. In a way I am glad it has gone down this way as I have gone back and dug through the old game catalog to a certain extent. That means hitting up Good Old Games to see what I haven’t played. I have yet to run across a bad game in my selections. It also allows me to give games like the Witcher a chance. This interesting RPG came out at a time when I was not playing a lot of games period. The fact that the sequel is now out is what made me grab it. I can see why so many people were impressed with it. I can’t quite put my finger on why, but the word unique comes to mind when playing through it. Maybe by the time I finish it I will understand why.

We here at WPO also finally threw together a Minecraft server for our private Shenanigans. I have no idea if will open it up to the world, but right now Glasenator and I are having fun with it. The reason I am not sure about making it public is I don’t know how many folks it will handle. You see Glasenator and I talked about doing this for quite a while. He tried building one on his Mac and it didn’t work, so I dug out an old PC I had laying around. Amazingly the damn thing runs on that and the only problem at the moment appears to be a little terrain rendering slowness. I suppose if enough people bugged the overlord of our facebook I might take a few folks, maybe. Skeletons riding spiders are so much win.

So did you here the one were Chad Johnson tried to ride a bull at a Professional Bull Riders event? Oh excuse me Chad Ochocinco, my bad. I am sorry I refuse to think of him as anything other than Chad Johnson. Anyway since the NFL lock out appears to be never ending, Chad has been finding other things to do. First he tried out for a Major League Soccer team and I can’t recall how that went. Next the idea of riding a bull came up. Now I thought the whole thing was a great publicity stunt until Johnson started running his mouth on twitter. Maybe it’s my background and history with the sport, but I found his antics to be a little annoying. From the start I figured he was going to get his ass kicked as riding a bull isn’t easy. If it was any dumb shit could do it and trust me I have seen plenty try. I believe he was going to get ten grand just for trying and if he actually rode he got a new ford truck and the right to name the bull. I admit it was a great PR call, as even I tuned in to watch.

The time finally comes for him to ride the bull, the chute opens and what happens? The fucking idiot last’s about 1.5 seconds according to the arena clock. Now by my estimation he didn’t even last that long. The goof fell off right in front of the bull, but he got out of there without much trouble. Seriously it didn’t even look all that bad to me. Granted I know how good the bull fighters are. The main stream sports media of course talked about the event and did so horribly. They commended him for staying on as long as he did. For fucks sake I could of done that at my age and I am out of shape as hell. They also made it sound like he was within an eyelash of death. While falling off in front of a bull is never a good idea, he wasn’t in that much danger. Sorry this wasn’t even close. Great PR deal for both Johnson and the PBR. Which was then poorly handled by the media, imagine that.
