Yes! You recieved the X Collection, only one of the most 'needed' games out there! (Hey, I'm a Megaman fan too, Cyro. Maybe too much of one )

I know it's late, but I actually didn't notice the thread at first, until you actually posted. Happy belated birthday. 25 is the year of the 25 year old.

Well, I see you guys certainly didn't forget about me. Thank you all. I figured I'd have a birthday thread waiting for me, so I checked on my cell phone (new cell phone). Sure enough I see a title with my name on it. Of course, for all I knew it could just have easily been a thread to ban me. But that's in another timeline, eh? Wow, 25 today. A quarter of a century old. I like saying that becuase it makes me seem really old.

Anyway, I've had a good day so far. I was at my fiance's home watching Sex and the City with her when she realized that we forgot about the sherbert icecream we'd bought a couple days earlier. This was a little past midnight. So she runs upstairs and puts some in a cup/bowl thingy with a really tiny spoon and brings it down with a lit candle sitting on top. She sang Happy Birthday and I made a wish and blew out the candle. It was so cute. I love her to death.

So at work today, or rather training (right now at least) we all fired M16s at a huge screen with targets. Mind you these particular weapons are made to be just like a video game gun. Targets pop up (or run around in the combat scenario) you fire at the screen to kill em. Very cool stuff. Especially when I got to fire one of the two SAWs on our side (machine guns that fire M16 round).

Then later on, after visiting my lovely Sarah at her home during lunch, we had combatives training. This is where I got beat up. Literally. After being shown different manuevers upon mounting your opponent and practicing choke hold techniques many of us were pitting up against each other for matches. Two matches ran at a time for 3 minutes. Were were supposed to use what we learned to make our foe tap out. But it usually ended up in a lot of people using wrestling move or something else to get to those positioned. I of course was eager to participate. Third set of matches I was told to pick somebody to fight. I chose a guy in our unit about my weight and size. Older than me though. In his 30's. We got to our knees and the match began. Let me tell you, for someone who seems nice and peaceful (and a bit weaker than me, or so I thought) he came at me like a rat attacking another rat for some cheese. Right away we went at it, trying to choke each other out. There times where he almost had me, but I stuck with it and did what I could to get out of the position I was in. I eventually got on top of him and tried my best to choke him out without letting him get to me in the process. I could tell I was doing something right when his face turned red and he grunted, but I don't think it was quite good enough. Maybe if I had my hands just a little bit better positioned..... So ended that match due to the time limit. I'm sure I would have won if we had more time. Oh well.

Then about 10 minutes later I volunteered to fight again. Our battalion executive officer need an opponent. This guy was a lot taller than me, and obviously weighs more. I also had a strong feeling he was stronger than me. Despite what I knew, I wanted to fight him. I knew I wasn't going to win (and I didn't), but if we had more time... After a minute of wrestling around he had me on my back with his arm pressing down hard at my neck. Although he wasn't really choking me since my head was turned, I did here a small crackle. So right away I figured I should stop for my own good, despite my high endurance. I tap out (;_ So then we continued the match with me being mounted on him for an advantage. He still managed to get me off and on my back again, but here's the thing about me: as I said before, have some darn good endurance. So while people have me pin and are trying their best to choke or whatever, (this was the same for a week and a half ago) I always manage to just barely get my head into a more comfortable position so that I'm not being choked, just having my jaw or head pressed on really hard. During this time my opponents are losing strenghth fast. I stayed like a rock. The matches end up being a draw, with them saying that "a little longer and I would have tapped out because I couldn't do anthing more to you" or " you would've been able to pin me easily becuase I was about to give up". Lucky me that we only get three minutes. So I can take on someone stronger than me at this board (if there is) and, while not win, I'd certainly be able to hold my own for a long time.

The resulting injuries of today, although small:

Two small cuts above my lip
Long, nasty line-shaped "burn mark" on my neck
Various small spots of red on my neck from choke holds.
Pain on both sides of my neck
Sores and pain in both biceps
Hurting jaw
Pain just below my knee (resulting from hitting it on my fiance's be last night)

Man, I sure had new meaning for "Birthday Beatdown" brought to me today.¬_¬ Now I'm going to the PX to get me some chocolate Malt-o-Meal since the box in the kitchen at my building I been "stealing" lately from in no longer there... Curious.

Among the presents I've recieved:
-A new cell phone (A900- Sprint), but I bought that becuase my other won't work anymore. Damned guy and the phone cover booth thing at the mall.
-Games- MMX Collection. (Hey, I'm a MM fan too, Xeo. with my friend getting me MMX 7 and 8, Robotech, some other game I haven't heard of. Sci-fi though.
-Two cool shirts
-A blow-up red lightsaber that actually emits light. Very cool.
-Two wavy lava lamps.

Oy, I'm hurting....

Jesus, why do you have to have the same birthdate as my brother?

You just got to be born today... You just got to be born. I hate you...

Nah, just want you to have a nice birthday and make sure you as least called someone "You little shit" because I am already a little shit... in someone's opinion. Anyway, happy birthday man.
