Welcome to the Big Orange Cajun Country!
Sometimes I'll write stuff here.

1Nov 08
Cajun is back again......sort of.
I just remembered I had an account on this site, I post on GameFAQ's Random Insanity board once in a while now. I think I'm just going to maintain a personal blog on this site.
Anyway, I'm kinda in transition right now. I haven't even really had time to play any video games recently. College is fun and all, but MAN. To put my feelings into perspective, I have read 11 books and written 4 papers in the past week. However, I finished my French homework early, and I have the next few days to do nothing more than be lazy. The only important thing I have to do is wash my clothes. Speaking of things I have to spend money on, my savings from working all summer are starting to wear thin. I'm even feeling the effects of the U.S. economic crisis.
Also, there is a girl in my English discussion that has a crush on me for some reason. So now I have a love interest on top of everything else.
Tennessee lost AGAIN today, this time to South Carolina. Oh, well. At least I still have the Titans to cheer on. Looks like we won't even get a bowl game this year. I love how they expect us students to buy tickets and leave at the end of the game.
That's pretty much all on what's been going on with me, how has it been going for you guys and girls? Rant and rave!

After a long year, I'm finally going home! But it's a mixed blessing.
It is about 9:20 AM hare at the University of Tennessee, my last final exam is at 12:40, and I'm going home around 11 PM tonight. Before coming here, I would have never thought that I would even be remotely homesick, but I have managed to stay up here through every break with the exception of Winter Break. This "time off" will be good for me.
I have "time off" in quotation marks because my situation truly is a mixed blessing. I go home (Memphis, TN) today, truly go home (White Castle, Louisiana) on the 21st of this month, I'm getting my new car (YESSSS!!!) on July 7th, and have to return to UT for Summer School (second session) on July 8th. The difference between the end of my summer session and the start of the 2007-2008 school year is only one week. As you can see, I will hardly have time to relax.
Needless to say, I won't be around Gamespot much.
But before I go, I have a question for you:
See ya!

Well, I haven't written one of these things in a REALLY long time, so I think that it's high time for an update.
I am beginning the second semester of my freshman year at UT Knoxville. it is great now, but I can't even begin to imagine the stress that will come later to haunt my dreams. I find it odd that classes have been going for a little over a week, and I still haven't recieved a homework assignment. I'm left wondering if this is an omen of lots of homework or a blessing. Either way, I'm worried. I'm not going to even start on exams.
---By the way, the Astronomy class I'm taking, Astronomy 151, is kicking my ass! It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't 2 HOURS LONG!---
Our Tennessee Vols (13-5) play the South Carolina Gamecocks (10-6) tomorrow at Thompson-Boiling arena, and I will be there. This event will be televised, so be sure to check it out if you have the time. We all know who is going to win this one.
Check out the Vols! http://utsports.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/011807aab.html
As for me personally, I am still being weathered by studying, going to classes, finding time to sleep and my shifting personal life. Some good news: I have excess money to spend, am yet to be sick, and IN COLLEGE! The bad news: I'm going to be away from Gamespot for a while longer, I'm nervous about my classes, and I'm still yet to find a girlfriend. Oh well, I think better things are yet to come for me.
GO VOLS! 8)

First of all, apparently I'm level 22 now, I got a new emblem, and I can make my posts orange again! This is great.
Tennessee plays Kentucky here tomorrow, but I'm not going. And it's our last home game, too. *insert crying smiley here*
Anyway, I went to Wal-Mart to get a Wii today. The strange part is that it was the last Wii the store had, and this kid and his mom (damn, she was cute) was were there, too. I asked the store clerk person to get the Wii so that I could buy it when suddenly this kid screams out "I wanted that! That's it, I challenge you to a Shaolin Showdown!"
I've never had a more serious "WTF" moment in my life than this. I thought he wanted to swordfight me or something. I just stood there confused until his mom said something, I forgot (she was cute as hell) and I let them buy the Wii.
When I got back to my dorm room, I googled "Shaolin Showdown" and saw that three links down there was the actual spelling and links to what is apparently a kids show. This was about 5 mins. ago. Needless to say, I'm still LOL'ing.
Well, at least I got Yoshi's Island DS.

The Volunteers won today, with a 35 to 18 victory over the California Golden Bears. Yeah. Everyone sucks but us. 8)
Well at any given moment today, I was either walking around campus taking pictures or sitting on my ass watching TV. I waited too late to get my ticket to the game, but I'll make it to the next one. No worries!
Anyway, here are some of the pictures I took.

If you want to see a picture of me, go to my website. I think it's in the "About Me" section.
More coming soon!

Life kinda sucks now. I hate being single.
I read this and almost cried.
......
"Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
now it looks as though they're here to stay
oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
there's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don't know
she wouldn't say
I said something wrong now I long for yesterday
yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday
Why she had to go I don't know
she wouldn't say
I said something wrong now I long for yesterday
yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
now I need a place to hide away
oh I believe in yesterday"

I'm finally on level 20. I hear this is a mixed blessing. On the plus side, I am now a Gamespot elite, but the downside is the level 20 curse, which I've heard gives a 1% boost in level per day. Oh well, I'll make it to level 21 someday.
On a different note, you may have noticed the orange font I'm using. It was Tsuki's idea (*SIGH* Tsuki.........), and I wonder why I didn't think of it earlier. I mean, there's orange EVERYWHERE here. And besides, blue and orange don't mix.
Oh, and I also finally got my University of Tennessee e-mail account set up, so feel free to e-mail me. It's down there in the profile thingy somewhere.
And finally, on a personal level, me and my gf broke up. She constantly accuses me of cheating on her. I attend a Presbyterian church on campus. I'm pretty well known there, and being the giant flirt that I am, I flirt with some of the girls that go there. I bet you can guess what happened next. I'm okay, though.

I'm finally here. I now live in Hess Hall, room H411 at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. I have everything set up already, and when I buy my digital camera, I can show you all how cool my dorm looks. There is SO much to do here. I have a social gathering to go to at 3:00, so I won't be on long today.
Told ya I'd be back.

As most of you know, on Aug 19th (2 weeks!) I will finally move into Hess Hall at UT Knoxville. Once there, I will have plenty of time to converse with most of you on GS. Anyway, when I get there, I want to play my DS on the Wi-fi connection thing. I know most of you are playing already, and I would love to race in Mario Kart DS or visit you in Animal Crossing. What I'm asking is what do I have to do to get on DS wi-fi connection? Are there things I need to buy or configure?
Help me out! If you don't have a DS, please still comment.

Yes! My Electric Blue DS came back yesterday, 7/28/06. Ever since I sent it off I have been waiting patiently for it to show up. It has been hard. You want to know what I had to play in the meantime? Pokemon Silver for the GB. Now I can catch up on some Super Mario 64 DS, Mario Kart DS, and my recently purchaced New Super Mario Bros. They even replaced the battery, cleaned it thoroughly, and gave me an extra stylus!
My struggle to spend more time on GS isn't quite over yet, though. But come August 19th, look for me. I'll be back to help out on System Wars, support the unions that understand my situation and are gracious enough not to demote me, and I will start a new union. I'll see you all soon.
Speaking of August 19th, that's the day the dorms open up at UT Knoxville.
Go Vols! -

I've leveled up from level 17 pretty slowly, but it's probably because I haven't been able to be on Gamespot as much as I'd like to. I'm pretty busy right now with college preperation, and with most of my time going into that, I don't have much time to be on GS. Well, I'm level 18. Yay.
In other news, I finally sent off my DS to be fixed. In late December, I worked at a local Skateland. During the time that I'm actually working, I'm usually really bored so one day I decided to bring my DS (Electric Blue) and Mario Kart DS (I had just bought it) to work. Later that night, I tripped over someone lying in the middle of the floor, landed on top of my DS, and the top screen cracked and was filled with this colorful stuff. The touch screen was okay. It should be back next Thursday, so I'm happy about that.
Well, that's about it. -
13Jun 06I finally have 200 friends here on GS. Thanks to everyone who made this possible, thanks for the e-mails, and thanks for keeping me entertained the few hours I'm on here. Also, I'm creating a new union soon. As soon as I decide what it'll be about, I'll be looking for people to fill officer positions. I'll keep in touch! To the few that actually go there, see you in SW! UT Knoxville's orientation is on the 19th for me. Wish me luck!

2Jun 06I haven't been on Gamespot in a while because I no longer have a computer. I'm getting a newer one for college, but it won't be a gaming PC. So, I'm going to be gone for quite a while longer. I'll really be back in August. Until then, I won't be here a lot. Plus, I really have to look for a job. I'm busy as hell.
-
14May 06I've finally reached Level 15, which is Nobunaga's Ambition. I'm also on my second set of those little emblems, mainly thanks to the fact that I viewed those E3 conferences. (I watched all three, where's my Sony one?) Plus, school's almost out! Hmm, lots of good things are happening at once. What's going on?

11May 06
Is anyone else besides me just utterly exited to the point of numbness by this game? The screenshots were amazing to say the least. I really can't wait to get my Wii now! This, Super Mario Galaxy, and other favorites await us on the Wii. When SSBB comes out, and you are using Wi-fi, watch out for me! (When I get as good as I am in Melee) I hope Marth is still in this one, too.
