The Purple Tux

FINALLY, they fixed the CvS2 machine. It's about freakin' time. I haven't played that game for hecka long, I'm waaay out of practice.
Okay, V-Rattic just suggested me to write about what my theme song would be. I don't know. I have a hard time choosing. It's something I have to think about. I donno, just off the top of my head, I might have to go with "Alive" or "Know Me" from P.O.D. "Alive" because it's just a positive song about life (plus it sounds a lot deadlier than "Stuck In A Moment," if that were my theme song), and "Know Me," because it's a song about representing, ya heard? Aw what the heck, it's impossible for me to narrow it down to one theme song, it just depends on my mood, is all. So let's just say my universal theme song would be Ryu's Street Fighter II theme music, aw yeah! No lyrics necessary, just an aura of confidence, strength, courage, and this whole "I'm gonna whoop your butt" feeling.
So how about if you make a new motto? My motto would be "Never start a fight, but always fight back."
Yeah, either that, or "You must defeat my Savior to stand a chance."

Life and love and why. Edge of my seat. Always something.
I lift my hands. New way to be human. Let that be enough.
Love is here. Make a joyful noise. His banner over me.
Still standing. Reaching out. Nothing but skin.
The fear. High and dry. Black star.
Sleepwalker. Here is gone. Say won't you say.
What I need. It is you. Fly.
I still found it.

A recent conversation.
Drumattic: Yo Viet, whaddaya think would happen if some non-black guys like us went to the Black Student Union on campus?
V-Rattic: What COULD they do, Drumattic? They ain't gonna kick us out! I'll go up there and give 'em a speech, man. I SUPPORT black people's causes!
Drumattic: Haha, oh yeah?
V-Rattic: Yeah man! I support black people, I buy rap music.
(pause)
V-Rattic: Oh wait, actually, I don't, I just download it for free... I guess I'm hurting black people.

Isolation. Silence. Weakness.
Emotions which persist in the cynic in me. Where to turn? Where to look?
Contrary to popular belief, the universe does not begin and end with Street Fighter. Where am I?
A warrior without weapons... is a warrior still. When in doubt, improvise. Flow with the stream of consciousness.
Do not disgrace a memory. The truth of the past may be a terrible truth, but a truth nonetheless. Let history stand.
But repentance is always an option.
I Found It.

If you could have a single special move/super combo/ability from the Street Fighter games, what power would you like?
I bet most people wouldn't say "I wish to be able to throw a strong punch," or "I wish to be able to dash/run." No way. If you could have any ability from Street Fighter, it'd have to be something bigger than being able to toss out rapid-fire crouching short kicks. "Shoryuken!" Man, if you could jump high enough to do a Dragon Punch, you could dominate the NBA. Imagine how cool it would be to throw a Hadoken or a Sonic Boom! Or performing a Hundred Hand Slap or Thousand Burst Kick or doing Blanka's roll... Dude, can you imagine a standard human being performing Blanka's roll? That would be hecka I-n-S-a-N-e!!! That would hurt hecka much...
One popular ability I bet people would like to have is teleportation. Dhalsim, Bison, Strider, Spiral, Psylocke... Teleporting would be a very handy ability to have in real life, you know. You'd never need a car or anything, and thereby save yourself tons of money. I wonder how it feels to have your molecules break through the very fabric of space. Well, you probably get used to it.
And man, there are some supers that would be super cool to be able to have in real life! Ouroborus is definitely one of them. Two little orbs circle you and shoot rings of energy at people, dude, no one would ever pick a fight with you if you had that. Gen's Touch of Death super or his rapid-hand-dizzy thing super would be really cool, too. Just imagine running past a guy, slapping him once, then, pause... you turn around and watch the guy get smacked by invisible attacks. Or rapid-punching someone and the counting down 9 seconds or so while the guy loses energy and then gets dizzy... That'd be a fun ability at a party, for sure.
Or how 'bout doing Wolverine's Berserker Barrage X? Man, fools would fear for their lives if you could rip someone apart like that! Or be like Sabertooth and call Birdie and her machine gun, hahaha. She can live in a subspace pocket off the screen, I guess. Zangief's grabs would also be hecka useful in real life. If you could do a Spinning Pile Driver, man, you would be the WWF fan favorite for YEARS. Storm's Typhoons would be great too, so would being able to have white crap come out from you leg when you do a kick. A Hyper Grav would be great for all of us lazy people. One really fun flashy move would be Cammy's Killer Bee Assault (or Maximum Spider for Spidey)... I would be hecka impressed if someone could fly around and hit someone like that! I mean dude, just imagine it in your mind. Too crazy.
I donno, for myself, I'd probably like the ability to teleport. Or maybe fly like Sentinel. Hmm... Sentinel... It'd be cool to shoot a laser from your mouth, too... Heck, if we're talking about lasers, I wish I could do a Proton Cannon!!! Yeah! Oh wait... Come to think of it, there's only one Street Fighter ability that's really needed to survive in the real world...
Someone sucker punches me? Before he recovers, Air Hyper Viper Beam x 3.
