Kids with guns!

This past week I had the pleasure of bustin’ some caps with my good o’ friend Brett Barker at Reed’s Indoor Range in Santa Clara. It was half of a pretty penny but great fun.

Not only is Reed’s the largest indoor range in the bay area but they have a nice selection of rental guns. I’ve had my eye set on a nice little lady, the Glock 22. I’ve went online, read about it, got some prices but never had the chance to give the trigger some love. As I glazed down in the display case of rentals, there she was the Glock 22. The greatest part was I could have her for only $10! I dropped her in the red grocery store like basket and headed towards Lane 9.

Brett and I unloaded about 100 rounds each. Shooting blood thirsty zombies as they ran towards us. My first target had a good amount of wounds around the chest and abdomen. Several in the head too, brain damage is the best way of defeating them. One stray shot landed on my target’s left ear what a deathly blow! We dedicated our second target to our last 10 shots. Take a look at the target below. Not too bad. There are actually only 9 shots on the target. Anyone seen Brett lately? target.jpgat-reeds.jpg

I’m not asking you to lie but…..

200px-sfpd.pngI received a text message from my good ol’ pal Tracy LoVerde today. The text read” I got ur cop paper work today. Don’t worry corey I won’t tell them ur a drugie!” Now I wouldn’t go as far to say I’m a drugie but… No I’m just kidding Inspector Zanardi.

Sure enough, these questionnaire were popping up like hot cakes! “If Corey were an animal which animal would he be and why?” “If Corey were to posses one super human ability/power which would it be? I like monkeys. They have cool acrobatics very agile. I would definetely go with invincibility. I could punch then disappear then deliver a deathly round house flipping kick. Pretty cool huh?

I won’t reveal the questions that were really on the form. Of course I’m curious to what people are going to put. So I have actually offered $5 to everyone that will show me their questionnaire and allow me to make necessary changes. Also a joke Inspector Zanardi.

Well that concludes the 1st episode of….Opps didn’t make a category for this topic yet. One will soon arrive.

Direct like a Rockst*r

So what do you do when you got a video camera, a great software to test out, and a great beard? Well if you’re anything like Justin “Rockst*r” Richter, you make a movie. So he gets those two guys from “Genocide”, Corey Santistevan and Giovanni LoVerde and does a short tragedy/action film.

“Ashes of the Iron Dragon” tells a gripping story of revenge with a sweet aroma of butt kicking action courtesy of Capcom Inc. What will two men do to gain the ultimate prize? Watch and you will see.

Corey stop! Your mouth is bleeding!

Tonight we had a wonderful youth night at Calvary Chapel Gilroy. The night appeared to be over until I made the crucial mistake of motioning a “lock-up” with one of the youth group kids. No it wasn’t the kid with the 3 arms or the one that was sleeping during service. This was non-other then Aaron Gonzalez also know as GONZAGA! Not quite sure where the name came from but I soon feel prey to his vicious maneuvers.

Now if you’ve got sometime Google Aaron Gonzalez. You’ll find him. The 1st page I came across was on the Gilroy Dispatch website. Aaron’s quote,”Ew. I sure hope that’s beer,” after seeing some suspicious yellow fluid. He was apart of the trash crew at the Garlic Festival. The 2nd link took me to what I was looking for. The site, GilroyWrestling.Com.   “Last year, Gonzalez was one match from placing at state.”

The 103 lbs. GONZAGA! Gave me a great workout. Should I have dominated the match? Yes absolutely  but did I lose, I don’t believe so.

The experience opened my eyes to something. I need to train harder then I have been. If all goes well, I’ll be entering the Academy in January. If I was out in the field, would I be embarrassed if I got out maneuvered by a 13 year old ? You bet your bottom dollar! So now, I will climb up buildings and smash them to oblivion!

GONZAGA!

Choose a side or be left in Standard Definition

Yesterday I decided to make a purchase. No not a fish tank. It was the very affordable HD DVD drive for my Xbox 360. Please note it comes with King Kong in HD! I had been debating whether or not to buy it for a few reasons but broke down yesterday after service last night. I think something in Pastor Matt’s sermon regarding Satan drove me to do it. If Amanda wanted my head on a platter because of my decision, I could blame it on the devil she already hates him. So while I was at the greatest place on earth Best Buy, I bought a few other things, the Roots mini-series Happy Birthday Mom and the Corpse Bride which is in HD.

Now HD DVDs VS. Blu-Ray. Which one is better? You can get a player in either format for between $500-600. Of course you can go out and get a 360 or PS3 with the same capabilities to play Hi Def movies plus play great games for about the same. What is the purpose of High Def one may ask. Now who really cares about the textures on the walls while watching Ultra Violet or nipples on the Bat Suit. Well I guess you don’t need HD for that one. Now I may be stabbed for this but I can’t even really tell the difference between Standard and this new generation of HD and Blu-Ray movies, but then again, I also don’t have perfect vision.

So is it gonna suck next year if Blu-Ray takes over and I’m stuck with a little white box next to my 360 that plays the extinct HD DVDs? Yes of course. I’m sure people were betting their hard earned money on Sony’s Betamax over the VHS back in the 80’s. What’s Betamax? In the 90’s, Sony worked on a new media format, the Multimedia Compact Disc or MMCD. Later they abandoned the idea for what is now DVD. Will Blu-Ray share the same gruesome fate as Betamax or the MMCD? If it is the future, guess I’m trading in the 360.
