I Have No Life

seriously. i have no life!

this weekend, i did absolutely nothing! nada! zippo! alright, i did SOMETHING, but nothing school-wise. i did a lot of sleeping and reading.

so yeah, Friday night, i went to bed at around 5am-ish. for no reason. i was just up. and woke up at 10.30am-ish to the phone ringing. it was Joyce calling me because she didn't know where her ACF workshop meeting was. i didn't even know that she was meeting up with that, i just suggested it. but yeah, i gave her the info and then went back to sleep for a couple hours.

woke up at 1pm-ish. washed up, and went down to get some lunch. watched an episode of Friends, and then went back to sleep...again. woke up at 5.30pm-ish. went down to get some dinner watched another episode of Friends, and then went back to sleep. haha no i'm kidding, i didn't go back to sleep. i chatted for a bit on ICQ/MSN and watched Beverly Hills Cop 2. and then i read like a bunch of Ultimate X-Men comics i downloaded.

went to bed at around 4.30am-ish (with the daylight savings adjusted already). woke up a couple times, but never got out of bed until 3.30pm. really what the heck man. i sleep-in brutally on the weekend. i'm so lazy. i watched the the New England Patriots vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game on the tv. the Pats finally lost! haha..their streak of 21 consecutive wins (including playoffs), 18 consecutive wins (in regular season) and i think it was 7 consecutive road wins was finally snapped. i forget what the score was, but it was a bad game by the Pats. that's all i really gotta say.

Terrell Owens of the Philadelphia Eagles is another story. this guy is an amazing football player, but he's a total jerk! he's like the Ty Cobb of football. he has a lot of enemies. today he mocked Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens after a touchdown, pissing Lewis even more. even more because Owens was originally gonna be traded from the San Francisco 49ners to Baltimore, but he refused to play there. so yeah..you can see why Lewis doesn't like him. Owens' got character, but he's a jerk! hahaha..but some of the stuff is just funny. like once he scored a touchdown in Dallas, and then ran to the center of the field where the star was and just started to dance and stuff. some guy on Dallas just tackled him. hahaha. another time, after a touchdown, he pulls a Sharpie out of his socks and signs the football. hahaha..it's funny stuff.

anyway, the rest of today, i just vegged. did my laundry, chatted, and read a lot of comics. i think this weekend alone, i consumed 50+ comics. i still have plenty more to read. i just finished off the Ultimate X-Men up to Issue 46, the Ultimate War, and The Origin. i don't know what series i'll read next.

i lead a boring life.

Fact File

in 1940s, as America prepared for war, a frail young man volunteered for an experiment that transformed him into the ultimate physical specimen - the American Super-Soldier. Steve Rogers battled Nazis until a freak mishap placed him in suspended animation for decades. when he awakened, Rogers was truly a man out of time, though no less committed to fighting the evils of this perilous new era!

Captain America's Powers

enhanced by the Super-Soldier Serum, Captain America's agility, strength, endurance and reaction time are superior to those of an Olympic-level athlete. also, Cap has mastered a number of fighting forms, including American-style boxing and judo.

Captain America's Weapons

Captain America's only weapon is his Vibranium shield, a concave disk 2.5 feet in diameter that weighs about 12 pounds. the sheild's exceptional aerodynamic properties enable it to slice through the air or rebound off solid objects.

Captain America's Beginnings

born during the Great Depression, Steve Rogers was horrified by news of the Nazis overtaking Europe. prompted to action, Rogers enlisted in the Army, although his sickly nature caused him to be rejected. overhearing the boy's pleas, General Chester Phillips offered Rogers the opportunity to take part in an experiment. Rogers was given the Super-Soldier Serum and bombarded by "vita-rays." he emerged from the treatment with a body as perfect as a human body can be. his conditioning continued and, three months later, he received his first assignment as Captain America, Sentinel of Liberty.

Captain America's History

World War II was in full force when Captain America took on a partner in his crusade against Hitler and the Nazis - a boy named Bucky Barnes. towards the end of the war, however, a bomb-loaded plane exploded with Cap and Bucky aboard, killing the youngster and hurling his mentor into the icy Arctic. the Super-Soldier Serum prevented Cap's bodily fluids from crystallizing, allowing him to enter a state of suspended animation. decades later he wsa discovered alive by the newly formed Avengers and became a cornerstone of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

after his rescue, Captain America was a man out of time. the world had gone on without him, and he no longer recognized it. realizing he could not fight for a dream in which he no longer believed, Rogers cast off the mantle of Captain America. he eventually reclaimed his heroic identity, but only to prove to the world that the American ideals are greater than the sum of any one governmental body.

Captain America's Relationships

once romantically invovled with Sharon Carter, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 13, Captain America was reminded by her apparent death that all people are prinsoners of some manner of war - held captive not just through blood and sweat, but also by beliefs and ideologies.

Captain America's Mortal Enemies

as the allied forces fought tooth-and-nail against Hitler and the Axis powers, Captain America went toe-to-toe with the Aryan elitist Red Skull, Nazi technician Baron Zemo and a whole host of vile creatures spawned by the Third Reich.

Fast Fact

since Cap began fighting for the American Dream, he has embodied the essence of a hero. he doesn't earn a paycheck for laying his life on the line; he does it because it's the right thing to do.
