Emptying out my phone once again!

I know you love it when i do this, so i will! I've been on the road for 3 weeks or so and when ever i had something i wanted to blog about or remember i wrote it in my phone. So now, as i wait for collegeboard.com to send my password or username (I kind of forgot both...) so i can get my SAT scores, i will tell you about all the things written in my phone. All the ones worth writing about anyway. One thing i love to do is change the lyrics to songs. That's one of the many reasons why Weird Al Yankovic is one of my Heros. So anyway, because i was going through germany both on the way to and back from America i had put a few German songs on my MP3 play. One of them was Rammstein's "Amerika", which seemed most appropriate. So anyway, as i got on a plane to leave America i made myself laugh by singing "We're all leaving Amerika, it's wunderbar..." parting my be such sweet sorrow, but so is returning. Oh, and by the way, i'm back in Estonia now in case you were wondering. I'm glad to be back. I mean i'm still a little sad, but there's not much good i can do by being depressed, and though i'm being dropped back into the drama i escaped 3 weeks ago, at least it's a familiar drama. One thing i noticed when i was traveling was this...so many beautiful girls live on Earth!! It's always such a surprise. Maybe it's that only the beautiful travel, but it seems as i travel that's all i see. When we stayed over night in Germany our hotel was full of Asians for some reason and i reveled in the beauty that surrounded me, so foreign, yet so familiar. As i said earlier on my blog, on this trip i had my faith in the feminine half of humanity by meeting some girls beautiful who were beautiful in mind, body and spirit. And i thank God i did meet some girls like that because even now that i'm back i find myself constantly dissapointed by the girls in my life, and i've finally figured out the reason why. I have a bad habit of thinking too much of the girls in my life. I think of them as women, when in reality they are, as i have said, girls. So if i just stick that in my head for a few years until they actually are women maybe i'll be a little happier.

Anyway i have something absolutely shocking to say about Germany. I've heard a lot of bad things about the Germans, but i have never heard about this before. When i was in Germany people would not stop talking about sex! Maybe it had to do with the ever inigmatic condoms in the bathrooms (if you've been reading my blog for a long time you know what i mean) but over the PA it kept talking about sex! They'd say "Flight 10360646 is about to take off" and then a second later i'd hear "eins, null, drei, sechs, null, sechs, vier, sechs" sechs? what sex? what are you talking about sechs/sex for! That's disgusting! And they wouldn't shut up. They'd just come back with flight number "bla, bla, bla, sex, bla, sex, bla, bla, sex, sex, bla" geeze, those Germans are seriously sex obsessed....;-) (i'm hoping all of you got the joke in there, if you didn't listen to the recording here http://german.about.com/library/anfang/blanfang07.htm)

Anyway, in America we went to this big, huge Salvation army congress (9000 some people=big, huge congress!) and while the big people where at the congress meetings the little people were at the "kidz kongress" which i only got to go to once (which was at Hershey park so it was pretty good!) and one time someone came up to me and said "hey Chris, did you notice they spelled congress with a "K", how stupid!" and i said "But they also spelled kids with a "Z", isn't that stupid?" they answer? "No, that's cool." but now i need to ask, wats so kewl about zpelling thangs w-rong? I don't get it. i mean of course i never do it. Because i don't know why it's kewl. Anyway, i don't if any of you know this, but as of more than a year ago i have a Russian uncle! (I bet he never thought he'd be a monkey's uncle, but here i am!) And so this time in America was my first time really meeting him. Now coming from the tension charged Estonian enviroment of being very anti-Russian i was a little nervous about having a Russian uncle, but it turns out my worries were unfounded, because he's not an evil communist dictator. Well not as far as i could see anyway. And one of the fun things about having a Russian uncle in America is that he's so funny! My aunt put it like this "Chris, I'm married to Borat!" Now i haven't seen Borat, but i get what she meant. He was always cracking us up just by being himself. And i mean cracking us up in a good way. And i don't mean he was stupid either. Just different. But he did have an accent that made us laugh at times. He was hilarious. But just recently i realized something. The way us Americans look at him, is exactly the way Estonians look at me! I'm the American Borat. "Jou krae, purk on lahe! Ma olen siga lahe mees!" and all that! But i'm not at all offended by the idea, i love it! It just gives me that much more ability to make people laugh. So anyway, that was good revelation that gave me a big smile.

Anyway, my dad is bugging me to move my butt, so i just have one thing to blog about. I LOVE GAMESTOP! I am a extremely faithful and patriotic GameStop fan. I haven't bought video games anywhere else in years. And my favorite GameStop on earth is in Maine, which is good because it's where i usually visit so i can usual get some good priced games. So anyway, this trip i had one goal, cheap, mindless, button mashing games. and i got them, three Yu-Gi-Oh! games and a Wario Ware Inc. game later i decided that though the mindless button mashers are great for traveling i might want to get something good for my brain too. So when i was in New York traveling back from congress (or kongress) i stopped in one of the few GameStops in earth that still sells N65 games, but not N64s (logic?) and therefore is always worth stopping in just for the nostalgia. While i was there i saw they had MegaMan Zero 3 and since i was such a fan of the first two i bought it for 10 bucks and flirted with the girl behind the counter and chatted a bit about Halo (i could almost see a romantic/nerd relationship sprouting before i left.) and because she loved me so much she even recomend a competitor's game shop that i should go to to get an N64 since they don't sell them. Then back up in Maine the day before i left i had a mission. Even before i had my friend and ultimate game advisor Matt commenting that i should get Castlevania i was already on my way to get it. I said to myself "I have a little money left, i want either of the Golden Sun games, or any Castlevania, and Fable or Halo 2 for X-box, whatever i can afford" so i went into my favorite GameStop on earth and went up to see my friend Jamie (You know you spend too much time in video game stores when you know the cashiers name and they know your face, that gave me Acts of Gord flash backs...) and gave him the list. He jokingly informed me the cheapest was 500 dollars and would only go up from there, but i was persistent so i got to see the games. Golden Sun was 8 bucks, lowest price, but as part of the game days they had going on i could get two castlevania games for 15 bucks, a better deal, so me and Jamie went to look and saw there were none of this two game pack in stock, so too show his dedication to the cause of fulfilling my gaming needs he called two other GameStops! He had told me (joking again) that the calls would take 500 hours, but i was will to wait. And it didn't take that long at all. But since they didn't have it in any of the stores i left down 8 dollars, up 1 Golden Sun game. But that just shows the dedication and love of GameStop workers. Calling other shops. Recomending competitors. Helping me find the 2 for 15 dollars deal rather than letting me pay 18 dollars for the one. And happily say as i told them i wanted cheapo games "If you want to spend more money, that's your business, if you went to spend less money, that our business" which i believe they stole from another company's add. I love GameStop. Their good prices and good employees have bought my loyalty forever, or at least until i find even better prices. So now i must say "THANK YOU GAMESTOP!!!" And now i really must go. My dad needs the computer, and i need to rest, my fingers are tired! Cya!
