Video Games Are Educational!!!

List of things learned from various video games over the years.

• Angry Birds - Someone steals from you, launch yourself at them with a slingshot.
• Pac-Man - Ghosts are edible after eating a big pellet.
• Pokemon - Fighting with animals is okay as long as it's regulated and accepted completely by society.
• Grand Theft Auto - Sleeping with hookers makes you healthier than before!!!
• Super Mario Bros. - Turtle shells make awesome weapons.  Mushrooms make you grow instantly.
• Plants Vs. Zombies - Plants are extremely effective against zombies.  Especially fire breathing plants.
• Farmville - Crops take anywhere from a couple of hours to a few days to grow.
• You Don't Know Jack - You don't know jack.
• Guitar Hero - Playing a guitar is as easy as pushing buttons and strumming at the correct time.
• Tony Hawk Pro Skater - No matter how horrific a spill, you can just get up and keep skating.

That's about all the life lessons I can think of from video games this time.  We may return to this idea later.

Who knew video games were so educational,

Timeline of My Life

First post on this new blog here so I figured I would give a small timeline of my life so people could get to know me a little better.  Without further ado...

February 1983  I was born.  Yeah.
1985  Originally was supposed to sing the smash hit song "Party All the Time" before being shoved aside by Eddie Murphy.
October 1988  First fear of bears manifested.  They won't stop people.
April 1992  Won the Hawaiian State Hop Scotch Tournament at the 3rd grade level.  Received a HUGE trophy for this.
1995  Helped form the Black Eyed Peas.  Sorry about that.
January 1999  Started partying like it was 1999
January 2000  Ended partying like it was 1999.  Also upset that y2k never happened.
November 2000  Messed up the voting in Florida.  Yep, that was all me.
2002  Helped fund the movie Gigli.  Seriously thought I was going to make some beau coup money on this one.
May 2002  I saw Tupac at McDonald's.  He had a Big Mac and some fries
April 2004  Convinced Britney Spears to start dating Kevin Federline.  You're welcome for that.
July 2006  Got a clown drunk.  Good times.
January 2007  Began "Operation Free Katie Holmes"
February 2007  Ended "Operation Free Katie Holmes" due to boredom.  Never made it to California.
August 2008  First transcended life and death.
April 2011  Was frozen for a day.
May 2011 Took a trip to Pakistan to "take care of business."  Also upset that the Rapture never happened.
So there you have it, only a small glimpse into the complex tapestry that is my past.  Hope you enjoy it and please direct all potential inaccuracies to somebody else.  Thank you.

Seriously this is all true,
Shawn
