Frictional Blog 6 [The Comeback Edition]

BAAAMM!!!


It's back, baybee! What's back, you ask? The man's back! Who's the man? Yours truly, of course! Haha.. Well, it's been a while since I last posted here, and there's a number of reasons for that, but I'd rather not talk about it.. All I have to say right now is that me and my then-S.O are now just best friends.. I'd like to avoid any arguments with her from this point forward, so I'll just keep my side of the story for myself.. Yeah.. Sucks, ain't it? Anyway, lets talk about something else..

Topic #1: Pro Wrestling - This is why I respect CM Punk


Well, recently Evan Bourne has been suspended for 30 days for violating the WWE Wellness Policy.. If you guys haven't heard of this policy, it's kinda like a rulebook that says "thou shall never use drugs without a doctor's prescription to do so" or something like that.. This announcement that was made on WWE.com sure caught me by surprise though.. I don't really expect him to be tested positive on any kind of drugs.. But then again, over the last four months we've seen like 5 to 6 suspensions.. Heath Slater, Darren Young, Sin Cara, senior referee Mike Chioda, developmental wrestler and Tough Enough winner Adam Leavine.. We've seen illustrious careers ruined by drugs, with the most essential proof being Jeff Hardy.. And those drugs have even caused the deaths of many great men and women of this sport.. Eddie Guerrero, Umaga, Test, Crash Holly, and of course, the drugs have been the major catalyst of the infamous double murder-suicide case of Chris Benoit and his family (yeah, I just mentioned Benoit.. PIPEBOMB!!).. So sad to see that people I look up to rely too much on these 'medications' in their lives.. I just don't wanna see another one of them leaving us way too soon.. Not a single one of them.. At least I know one of those guys I look up to does not do drugs, neither does he drink (I would like to mention Scott Hall here.. he's a great guy) nor does he smoke cigarettes.. Yes, I'm talking about the Straight Edge Savior himself.. The Voice Of The Voiceless.. The so-called Best In The World.. I'm talking about CM Punk.. This guy is awesome.. If only he can save this whole world from those horrendous killers we labelled as 'pills'.. That's why I respect him.. That's why I believe that the WWE should be pushing him as the face of its company.. Besides, he has a great set of in-ring skills, and not to mention, his PIPEBOMBS!! So yes, instead of pushing steroid freaks like Batista and his new clone Mason Ryan to the top of the company, Vince McMahon should give Punk a chance.. And I hope to see more of Evan Bourne once he return.. I'm a huge fan of him, much like I was of Jeff Hardy.. Oh-kay, next..

Topic #2: Gaming and Pro Wrestling - WWE 12 Universe Mode looks very promising


I wanna keep this short and sweet, so I'll jot down some new features in the WWE Universe mode of this highly-anticipated reboot of the WWE gaming series..


1. Championship Match Control. In last year's game, you could only have a title match at the PPV, and you couldn't change the participants nor the stipulation of the matches.. It's all predetermined by the game itself.. What a shame.. But this year, you can have a championship match wherever you want, whenever you want! Whether it's on Raw, Smackdown, any PPV, or even Superstars! And you can put whoever you like in that match!

2. WWE Draft. As soon as Wrestlemania ends, the Universe mode will put you through the unpredictable annual draft, just like on TV!

3. Storylines. They have cutscenes from inside the ring to the backstage area, for character developments and relationships, and now you can even interfere in any of the matches that you like!

4. Streamlined Match-Flow TV-Style Presentation. You now have the opening theme and pyro for every show you play, and now you can proceed from one match to the next without returning back to the main Universe menu.. Sweet!

5. Injuries. Now I can sideline John Cena for 2-6 months by repeatedly hitting him with the Rough Ryder! Hell yeah!

6. Momentum. When, say, CM Punk is on a crazy winning streak, Punk's attributes with slowly rise up, making him better than what he already is! Although, when you're constantly jobbing like, say, John Morrison, then your attributes will drop..

7. Create-A-Show. I don't really dig this, though.. But we'll see..

And that's it for the WWE 12 Universe Mode.. For now, that is.. I'm sure there will be more to come..

Topic #3: Personal and Frictional - My college life


Oh-kay, so now I'd like to talk about some of my broskis and broskettes at my college.. But before that, for those of you who are reading my Frictional Blog for the first time, then proceed with caution as you may come up to some harsh words and crazy confessions on your way through the end of this post.. So please skip this part if you're the no-enemies-for-me, easily offended type of person.


Now, assuming that those of you who are not as bad as me have left this page, allow me to begin the frictional-ish part of this post.. Firstly, yeah, I just said that I'm a bad guy.. At least I have the guts to admit my weakness, as opposed to some of you who hides behind the mask of purity and acts as if you are a good person.. I've tried to be good before, and where did it brought me? Nowhere but here, on the ground floor, as some of you used me to escalate and elevate your lives to a better place, a higher level.. I am sick and tired of being held down.. No more, please.. No more.. So, does this has anything to do with my now-'best friend'? I don't know, you tell me..

Now, let's talk about my college buddies.. We initially have a total of 8 boys in our practicum, and 2 have left the college.. One was awesome.. A very good friend.. He's the first guy in my practicum I talked to.. The other, well, is a total jerk.. A prick who thinks he is better than anyone and everyone around him.. And he also thinks that he can get his way to any girl that he finds very attractive.. Well screw you, prick.. I have never liked you, ever since I first laid eyes on your Stephen Jerzak-ish appearance.. The major difference between Jerzak and you is although he's hot, he still keeps his cool.. You, sir, are not hot, although you think you are, and you're not as cool as you think everyone would say you are.. Get it? Got it? Good.

On to my next buddy, who is staying at the farthest block from the lecture halls and tutor rooms.. I couldn't care less about him, since that's how much he cares about me.. Sometimes I feel sympathetic for myself, for caring too much about people around me, who might not even care about me.. Which brings me to a fella who lives in the same block as mine.. He's good and all, but he is being too critical that he just seems to be ignoring other people's thoughts.. And when I say "too critical", I mean "wayyyyyy too extremely, overly critical".. Seriously.. It's like each and every single thing that I do which is not right according to his craptastical philosophy needs to be criticized by him.. The way I walk, the way I dress, the way I sleep, the music I listen to, the acquaintances I make.. Hell, take for example the fact that I love to drink Pepsi.. I know it's harmful and all, but do you really need to trash me with some harsh words and make me feel like a sore, pathetic loser every single time you spot me drinking my favorite beverage? Hell, you hum to the tune of your favorite music everyday, and you don't hear me whine and complain about how crappy your taste of music, right? So please, you have your own way, and I have mine..

Now, the 3 of my favorite broskis (just learned that Broski is now a trademark of the WWE.. will I be sued for using that word here? I hope not).. One is residing in a room one floor below mine.. He's a good guy.. Hell, he's great! But the only problem with him is that he does not notice that I would wait for hours for him.. Maybe even days! But he just does not give a crap about me! For instant, if I'm going to grab my lunch, I'll always stop at his room to ask him if he wants me to buy him anything, or even ask him to join me.. The problem with him is that he would never come up to me to offer his help! The only time he will look for me is when he's trying to get out of a mess that he had made, and then he goes off with his rude style of bashing my door, sometimes leaving it open when I am in need of a privacy time (eg. sleeping, just came out of shower, etc.).. And the best part of it is that he has absolutely no regret of all the times he did it.. And all the times he left me to go to the cafe, or the mosque, or classes.. And the times he declined harshly when I politely asked him to hold anything that is in my hand for just about less than a quarter of a minute as I wanted to buy something at the corporation.. Yes, even the littlest bit of things happening in my life, I will remember it. Don't you dare think that I will let you people take me for granted. Don't you dare try to stab me in the back. Don't you dare stomp my head to the ground. I won't take it kindly.

Then I have a good friend, who is quite a good listener.. And I enjoy listening to him too, though I can't really understand his accent, since he's from the East Coast.. He's clever and all, but he's so modest.. He's got a good hold of religion, kind of like that guy living under my room.. Although I'm closer to that under-my-room guy, I'm pretty much more comfortable with this East Coast guy.. At least he's never been a prick to me.. And my last broski, he's a basketball player.. Man, I always thought that being an 180cm guy is tall, but he is wayyyyy taller than me.. He's a good friend.. Always there when I need him.. And he really cares about me, as much as I care about him.. He's a year older than me, but that is not a barrier of our friendship.. He does not make it feel uncomfortable to talk to him about anything, eventhough we're not of the same age.. He's awesome..

Now I don't wanna waste like another 45 hours trying to write about all the girls in my practicum, but I would like to mention one.. She's so good to me.. She's a year elder than me.. She's like a sister to me.. So kind.. So gentle.. That is, if you don't really know her.. She thinks she's kinda rough, but nahhh, I don't think so.. She's petite.. Frankly, she's super-duper-ultra-hyper-mega-giga-kilo-tera cute.. Haha.. And trust me, I never lied on my compositions.. I am the kind of guy who believes in what he writes.. Anyway, back to her.. I feel so comfortable with her, you know.. As if I can say anything that is crowding my mind to her.. And seriously, I can never do that to anyone else.. Except for my mother, of course. And yeah, I couldn't even do that to my now-'best friend'.. Again, back to her.. Sometimes I feel like I'm putting half of the weight that I carry on my shoulder onto her, and I feel guilty for that.. Yet still, she doesn't feel any burden from any of the problems that I've shared with her.. At least that's what she said.. Who am I to know what she truly feels? She's been so good to me, that I've stated and admitted that I really like her on several occasions.. Maybe she didn't notice.. Maybe she never will.. Hahh.. Back on my first day with my practicum mates, I couldn't remember a single name of my new mates, except for two.. The awesome guy who's left the college, and this girl.. And everytime I sit in the lecture halls or tutor rooms, I always feel like she outshines everyone.. Have I fallen in love with her?? Haha, I don't really want to think about that right now.. For now, she's my sister.. She's the second best sister that I could ever dream of, only behind of my late sister.. She appreciates me, and for that, I appreciate her.. Thank you so much.. You know, I actually am planning on doing something.. Maybe in 6, 7 years time.. I'm planning on prop......... Ahh, I'm telling you guys a little too much now.. I better stop here..


And there you go! My comeback edition of the Frictional Blog! Bunch of thanks goes out to all of you guys who inspired me to write this.. Maybe I typed too much this time, but I really needed it.. It kinda calms me up, you know.. With everything going around my head every now and then (God knows how much of a load it is), I need a place to ease my mind.. And where can I do it best besides here? My sister? Haha.. Booya. Wait for my next post.. Until then.. Make sure you'll be there.
