Mafia Wars Update

Quick Facebook post, well not really as much Facebook as much as Mafia Wars.

Yes, I’m still at it.

Last time I posted on here, I was probably level 30 or 40, now I’m level 337.  Slight difference.

The premise of the game hasn’t really changed, just the situations in which you play.

At first you start in New York, then Cuba, then Moscow and now we find ourselves in Bangkok.

Fishville and Farmville and equally as addicting, though I don’t find them quite as enjoyable (probably because I’m a male).

Anyways, I have a few tips and pointers for people incase you happen to play this game and don’t like to waste your time.

1) Only put skill points into Energy, its the only way to speed up the process as much as possible.

2) Fight, fight, fight – use all of your stamina all the time.

3) Make sure you bank your money. You’ll need all the money you can get in Bangkok and Moscow, so don’t let them steal it.

4) Do 1 through 3

6) There was no 5

7) Send gifts and you shall receive them.

Follow those simple guidelines and you should find yourself speeding up your leveling time, unless you already do all those, then read something else.

Where do they find it?

Clearly this site has spy’s working through all hours of the night coming up with these links, cause I’ll be damned if I can find another site doing a better job.

They say it will amaze children, I’m saying it’ll amaze anyone:

you know you totally want one of those lighting up your nightstand area (you know it!).

I remember when I was younger I had this wicked awesome orange night light, granted that was before I realized night lights were for babies and I still thought they were cool.

i’m awesome.

Sunday February 7th 2010

This post will probably be irrelevant for anyone that doesn’t live in Toronto, regardless, I want to touch on it just for a moment.

Currently in Toronto, the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) is under some heavy fire after an operator in a Subway collectors booth was photographed sleeping a few weeks ago while on the job. This has been followed up by more pictures being taken of sleeping workers, and most recently a video of a driver taking a nice long break at a coffee shop, leaving his bus running with passengers in it (at 3:00am).  The TTC at first, of course, defended its employees, saying this was an isolated incident and even going as far as saying – they were disturbed that no one checked to see if they sleeping driver was alright and hadn’t suffered a medical emergency. After the rest of the incidents took place though, they’ve recently come out with a memo to all staff blasting them with the fact that they need to do better if they want to earn the respect of riders back.

My issue with the whole problem is that the TTC is funded by the government, I’m not 100% sure the exact break down (municipal, provincial & federal), but that doesn’t matter right now. What matters is that they have just (again) raised the price of the adult fare to $3.00, and yet are still losing money. Not long ago, I remember the fare being $2.00 and being told a fare hike would turn the tables (clearly it hasnt).  So now we have Facebook groups forming, news outlets blasting and an all around war starting to take place against these workers.

But for what?

They have no competition.

We have to ride the TTC. At least I do, some can afford to drive or live close enough to walk/run. I don’t, and probably won’t for the next few years.

I find all these threats towards the TTC simply a waste of valuable money that could be better spent elsewhere.

The Toronto Sun has made a habit of making this front page news for the past few weeks, but then again no one reads the Toronto Sun.

My concern is that without ANY other means of transportation, and the TTC being funded by taxes (cause taxes are going somewhere), I don’t see the system ever getting better. Let’s face it, at the end of the day, they know that we have no other option, and for the most part, probably don’t care about any of this.

Until they either get private funding, or they introduce another means of travel, the problems are only going to get worse, and people need to snap out of their mind set that spamming the media will help. Can  you believe we don’t even have any sort of rail system to the Airport?  (no subway or RT), nothing.  Clearly the money is being spent in the right place. They opened up a new subway line about 10 years ago and wanted to shut it down recently because its losing money (no lie).

Anyways, I’m actually a fan of the TTC, believe it or not, I enjoy having a quick and easy method of travel through-out Ontario, and I really don’t blame the drivers for not caring (why should they, they get treated like shit). But at least for right now, they should probably be on their best behaviours, with the cellphones, iPhones and news reporters wanting to snap a picture at any given moment. We need a privatized transit system and maybe then we can get away from paying $120.00/month for a pass. Seriously.

I just cant resist:

Thank Quirki Jessi for that one

Ingloriously Original

Though I haven’t seen the movie, I know Lt Aldo Raine is played by Brad Pitt and he wants to accomplish one thing.  Killing Nazi’s.

Now you can own him for yourself.

Clearly this is awesome enough to sell itself and doesn’t require me to ramble on.

Welcome world, its Saturday February 6th 2010 and its not freezing outside today here. This is good, considering normally in February, by this time its cold enough to freeze your bollocks off. Anyways, lots to touch down on today so lets get to it.

The Leafs lost a heartbreaker last night to New Jersey, though my fantasy pool won, so I’m not sure if im happy or sad.

I am now an official iPhone owner (nexus one not in Canada?, google send me a free nexus one!) and I must say its great.  Best phone i’ve ever had.

I know I haven’t posted for like three days, I was really hoping to get a post in everyday, so I’ll do my best to resolve that issue – actually can people just email my school and tell them I need more free time, thanks.

You should probably have seen betterthancookies by now, if not, go, run for your life and check it out.  (yea its a work in progress)

Who here plays the World of Warcraft?  (*crickets*), nah come on, I know some of you do and just tell people you dont!  (go here)

What else, you know, I could post 100 links of celebrity news and updates like other blogs and probably get 100x more hits, but in all honestly, I hate hollywood, so no thanks.  (tmz, perez and splash) can do that for me.

Lastly, the Mysteryguitar man has done it again, clearly my favourite youtuber, how does he do it?

That just about does it for my updates for today, of course I have two days of updates still sitting here and don’t have the time to link them or write them.  So tonight I’ll do that, oh and I’m still wanting to go see Avatar,  perhaps that’ll get done today as well (yeah I know, seriously I’m probably the last person on earth to see it) but whatever, I hate you.

I’m fairly certain google is taking over the world – they already took the internets, now they have a pretty nice phone and lastly, rubiks cubes are the last part of the puzzle.

Wednesday Shmensday

Incase you’re wondering, that is the official spelling of “shmensday”, look it up if you don’t believe me.

Though, not relevant, I feel obliged to copy and paste the first item that comes up upon the search of my name on urbandictionary.com and that is:

1. andrew: Ultra cool, Usually hot or at least sort of cute. Awesome sense of style, music, and humor. Sexy, awesome kisser. “Man, is Andrew cool. I wish I was him…”

Seriously does it really get any better than that, I heard a rumour that the wheels are in motion over at the Oxford Dictionary to add it, we’ll wait and see.

I have a list of things today, on actual paper, thats how much I didn’t want to forget what I had to say, so you better find it amusing.

So, evidently there wasnt another update yesterday. We’ll try to make up for that today.

Yesterday, a friend of mine disagreed with me when I told him that the answer to all questions that we *dont* know the answers to is simply: Chuck Norris. Roughly three seconds after that, a Chuck Norris leg appeared from nowhere and roundhouse kicked my friend across the cafeteria.  Point made

Next, the Leafs managed to win a game last night.  The addition of Dion Phaneuf and J.S. Giguere clearly had an impact in their 3-0 shutout of the Devils. Perhaps now they’ll start being a little more consistent, and not in a bad way. I’m still skeptical, I don’t think its going to give them long-term success, but we’ll have to wait and see. However, a solid goalie is always a good start. Let’s just hope they keep Dion instead of trading him once he is here for a little while.

Trying not to mention MTV and Jersey Shore today,  so I won’t.

Yesterday was also Groundhog day, which gives me so many reasons to post something, I’m really ashamed I didn’t – From Bill Murray to Punxsutawney Phil, it becomes too easy. Unfortunately the little bastard saw his shadow though and has therefor quilted us with 6 more weeks of winter.

Thanks.

Asshole.

Hey now, don’t you tell me you don’t remember me ’cause I sure as heckfire remember you. It’s Ned… Ryerson!

The Grammy’s

So last night was the occasion for the 2010 Grammy Awards.  While I didn’t watch the entire thing, I did watch bits and pieces.  Som memorable moments probably would be Elton John & Lady GaGa, Green Day’s performance & Beyonce singing “You Oughta Know” of Alanis Morrisette fame.

One thing that caught my attention was the attendance of one “Snooki”, I think that’s how her professional name is spelled, though I’m probably wrong. I have a hard time keeping up with the new names these days. All I know is that she has nothing to do with music, or being a celebrity. Therefor, the Grammy’s are a perfect home for her. Hopefully she’ll become friends with Paris Hilton, make a sex tape and end up in jail.  That’ll get her famous in no time.

That’s it for now.

Oh wait, one more thing.  Seriously?  What. The. Hell. Are these two individuals doing together.

It really leaves me wondering what the hell is going on in Hollywood.

I actually just thought of a whole bunch more stuff I need to put up here, so alas I shall do another update later.  Perhaps it would be nice if my brain managed to clump all my thoughts and idea’s together for me, but that would simply be too much work.
