Pretty Colors...like black and blue!

I've always liked this game but I was never able to play it. Partly because money was tight, but also because I'm complete rubbish at it! I mean, they added aerial attacks and several different fighting systems within the game. It's like a thousand and one ways to get my a$$-kicked! And for the first time, I'm going to admit to you and the other guy that reads this blog the secret of my success. I only use two buttons when I play Street Fighter; I'm average at best! Most of the time, I'd make my way toward the game (at the arcade. Sad really, now when I stop by Time Out , I can actually stand in the middle of the arcade, stretch my arms out like an eagle and spin in a circle, touching nary a nerd, geek or spazz), meet the throngs of onlookers that are in front of me and behind the two players duking it out, peak through the gaps of the audience members and drool at the gameplay.

Inclement Weather in DC

I love inclement weather in D.C.. Nothing and I mean nothing in this world makes my heart swell like major traffic jams in several parts of the area that make my 45 minute commute an 80 minute commute; not the image of an eagle in flight, children of different nationalities playing together or the swell of a woman's...curves...I love the sound of horns blaring too, there's no sweeter sound; not the sound of chirping birds, children's laughter or a woman in the throes of passion. No sir, I've gotta have the sights and sounds of consternation and frustration! Even better, I love the way other drivers not only become invalid drivers but IMPATIENT, invalid drivers. All forms of courtesy (traffic-wise) go out the window. Anything goes now. You will be cut off, you will get a horn and an obscene gesture and then the owner of the horn and the gesture will peel away loudly letting you know in no uncertain terms just how they feel about you.
