Do you promise not to tell the truth, the half truth, and nothing but the truth?

  I get paid to dance to MJ's "Thriller" and to scare people.

  Six Flags has given me a lot of opportunities over the summer.Jesse McCartney and Toby Mac concert holding back the yelling ofscreaming fan girls. Being a body guard over the Justice League and Scooby Doo characters, working on the puppets in the everyday parade, and free pass to visit the park any time I want.

  So what now? Well, I auditioned for Fright Fest because I wanted to be a zombie, or any position for the matter. Turns out I'll be doing several things.

  First, I didn't get the zombie part because I am too tall for literally every singlepiece of clothing offered in thewardrobe, including the zombies, and also the scarecrow, clowns, trolls, etc. So what now?Well, they found a Sunday shirt. Yes, a white buttoned, nicely dressed shirt that fit me, because it was the only thing in theentire place thatcould fit me.It'll get a paint job and I'll wear my own black pants. Why can't people be taller like me nowadays?!

  Next up is I'll be working a lot in the haunted house we have. I will jump out and scare the crap out of people, which is awesome because that's what I do. Other days I'll be operating other functions that make the house work, maybe some lighting, arrangement of the house, or the boring guy that's like, "Next. Wait. Ok, you can go in now. Leave all bags, we don't reccomend little children to go in" Crud like that.

  Finally, as stated, I is dancing to Thriller. Since Michael Jackson died, we're going to learn the entire dance. We're supposed to have learned by now, but I seriously need a lot more practice. My pay is over $10 an hour, and will be over $12 an hour after 4:00. Awesomeness.

  Scaring and dancing, I think I can have some fun wit dat...I think...*silence*

  BOO! Did I scare you? No?

  ...darn.

  I typed this blog with one hand

  I have jaw surgery next week and to have a LOT of blood drawntoday to put back in my body next week. My left arm stings still and I have a large, tight bandage around it making me unable to use that hand, for typing anway. My jaw surgery involves moving my upper jaw slightly forawrd. I don't know how they'll do that, but i'd rather NOT be given the details.

  I feel a bit light headed right now yes i do. Drinking more water than usual. I may have to watch E3 09 live in the hospital for the 2ndtime in a row. The surgery will be on on the 27th this month.

  Wiiware games that catch my interest.

  It's been about 10 months since the first Wiiware titles have entered the available collection. Yet, I have downloaded none. It's not because I'm not interested at all, just simply more interested in other retail titles/VC games. I didn't receive any Wii Points in 2008, and got 5 retail games. I do not wish to continue to neglect Wiiware purchases. I probably (or most likely definitely) will not get all these Wiiware titles, but they have a certain "something" that I'm looking into.

  Helix
  A rhythm game featuring 26 songs, and similar to Guitar Hero, you have to match the pattern of the indicated gestures, except instead of pushing buttons and strumming, you position your arms to match the given pattern. You can use 2 Wiimotes to do it and it looks like a good work thing. Three levels of difficulty provides a learning/reflex curve, and I get burnt out after execessive playing of Guitar Hero on Expert mode after a long play through. 1000 wii points.

  LIT
  The description is self explanatory: "Dark creatures have taken over Jake's high school, and it's up to you to guide him through each room in order to be reunited with his girlfriend. Existing light sources must be used smartly to create bridges of light for Jake to cross. One false step and Jake gets pulled into the darkness. LIT is a horror/puzzle game that requires the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers. It contains 30 levels, five boss battles, replay modes and several unlockables, including multiple endings, Dark Mode timed challenges and an unlockable character. 800 wii points.

  LostWinds
  It's an adventure game with puzzle elements. You take control of the wind and use it to solve puzzles. My guess is that it goes a little more in-depth with the actual wind puzzles than Zelda: The Windwaker did It's got a nice fairy-tale charm to it. 1000 Wii Points.

  Mega Man 9
  Need I explain this? Blue bomber. Nostalgic. Took the series back in its best direction. oh yeah. 1000 Wii points.

  Onslaught
  A FPS with hordes of bugs to shoot down.It does support online co-op play up to4 players. There's also a whip to lash bugs at a close range. I dig mindless FPS games 1000 Wii points.

  Tetris_party
  Mass variety of game modes both single and multiplayer modes, both offline and online. It's Tetris to with a lot of depth to it. It has leaderboard rankings and tournaments too. 1200 wii points.

  World of Goo
  Thisis the title I want most of all, absolute buy for me. It's won a lot of Game of the Year awards, has incredibly awesome physics and smart puzzles. Nintendo even messaged me on my Wii to reccomend this game (they are the publisher of it). I look very forward to picking this one up. The only problem is that it's 1500 freekin wii points! The only other title that requires that many (so far) is Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King.

  Strong Bad Episodes 1-5
  The thing about these games: If I get one, I'd have to get them all, all five.I don't know if I want to go that route, but it would cost over $50, but these are some of the best reviewed Wiiware games out there. I'm a fan of homestarrunner and strong bad and of course the cheat, so I won't rule it out yet. 1000 wii points for each of the five episodes.

  And that concludes my list. If you have any other suggestion or if you happen to really enjoy/didn't enjoy any of the titles that I did/didn't mention do comment below.
