fanboys

everybody knows at least one fanboy but you may not have ever heard them called that.  a fanboy is a person that believes that something that they use, do, or like is the end all be all of everything and will do everything in their power to make you believe them. I will count down the most annoying types of fanboys according to me....

6. fangirl

the fangirl is a female that is obsessed with something in an attempt to be as cool as one of the guys. one of the most recent outbreaks of fangirls was the release of the movie Twilight. it seems as tho every girl and their mom saw this movie and are now obsessed with vampires. fangirls are not the worst type of fanboy tho. there are many that are worse.

5. nintendo fanboy

these are the guys or girls that have always secretly loved nintendo but since the wii's success they are coming out of the woodwork to rub it in 360 and ps3 owners faces that the wii is the best selling console in the world.

4. xbox fanboy

the guy that plays halo 24/7 and swears that microsoft is the best company in the world and will buy every little thing that they put out. these guys also refuse to believe that the red ring of death exists. they also believe that they are the best selling console in the world because the wii is more of a "toy" rather than a competitor. as long as they are ahead of sony in the market share tho they will still be happy.

3. sony fanboy

ps3 and blu ray lovers that still believe that they are the more "elite" console because they have exclusive games to the ps3. (microsoft is doing this now too) funny thing about this is that microsoft is starting to pull some of those sony exclusive games away and port them onto the 360 and pc. blu ray snobs are the ones that say that all along they knew that blu ray would beat out hd-dvd and that it was ridiculous to even think that something could compare to the quality of blu ray.

2. comic fanboy

the guys that have jumped onto the comic bandwagon due to the popularity of recent movies such as iron man, the hulk, the dark knight and the soon to be released watchmen. these fanboys act like they know so much about everything in comic books, when in fact if you asked them how long ago they began to take interest in a particular comic such as iron man you would get a answer that would most likely be a lie. most of the comic fanboys have become interested in a certain comic only after the release of a movie.

1. mac or pc fanboy

this had to be obvious that this was coming. these are by far the worst fanboys that you will ever come across. they are the most mudslinging fanboys of them all and will do everything that they can to make the other one look bad. this may be in the form of commercials such as "i'm a mac" and microsoft's lame attempt at combatting these commercials with their own type of "i'm a pc" commercial. the mac fanboy thinks that all the artsy programs that a designer might run will run so much better on a mac and that there are not any viruses either. they think its such an easy decision to get a mac and that if you don't have one then you suck. as for the pc fanboy they do nothing but attempt to find ways to prove the mac fanboy wrong and often make themselves look like idiots in the process. whatever the case tho, you should steer clear of these maniacs at all costs and if you run across one then you should run for your life and never look back.

hopefully this has cleared some issues up for some of you that have wondered why some people are so defensive or cocky about a particular product they own. until next time...adios

bargain sites

to some of you this may not be too exciting, but to those of us in the world that just love to look at things that we wish we could buy at the moment and then five minutes later we have forgotten about them, then here are some sites for you.  the first one is my personal favorite and it is www.whiskeymilitia.com  on this site the items are displayed one at a time for roughly 15-45 minutes.  during this time frame you are able to purchase the item as long as there are some available.  once they sell out of an item or the time limit is reached then they move onto the next item.  on this particular site they sell mostly skater clothing, shoes, and sometimes a skateboard or surfboard.  one last thing about this site is that all of the items are marked down at least 50% and one time i even saw a watch on it that was marked down 85%.  crazy!!!  along with this site are others such as, steepandcheap.com (mostly mountain gear and apparel, the occasional north face jacket) and there are a couple of other sites that sell biking stuff, but i can't remember what it is called.  so i hope that everyone will bookmark this webpage and check it out often.  be careful though because it is very addicting to just sit around and wait for the next great steal to come on it and it can consume your life if you are not careful. :)

p.s. - there is also www.woot.com, if you don't know what it is then you should check it out as well.  it updates daily and sometimes has some pretty sweet stuff on it as well.

p.s.s. - if anyone has any suggestions about another bargain site that i should check out then feel free to let me know.  i am always in for a good bargain.

mistake

i have some advice for everyone out there. DON"T TRY TO GET A DIFFERENT TEMPLATE FOR YOUR BLOG UNLESS U REALLY KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT WORK! i made this mistake and it has caused me great distress because it changed everything into a different language and i had to delete my blog and start over because i could not figure out how to change it back. i am still new to all of this. haha. well i feel better now after venting. great things to come. :)

welcome

so i have finally given into this blogging thing. i feel like this will be a good way to relieve my stress and work on my storytelling skills. first i am going to lay down a few ground rules for this blog and myself. i will attempt my hardest to update it daily, even if it is really quick. secondly, since this is a stress reliever i will not be worrying about grammatical or punctuation errors. it is my hope that future readers of this blog will just get a laugh out of my posts and not always take them too seriously. so that being said i believe that i have just completed my first entry and am excited to tell the world about some exciting stuff that happens in my life. i will now leave you with the thought for the day, "if you hate dogs, then don't wear a porkchop necklace."
