Minecraft is the Theme...and Tron too

Spent about 2 hours trying to figure out a way to set up a server for minecraft today. i talked my cousin into purchasing the game and i have no idea how he is feeling about it so far. we tried to setup a server so that we could play together, but apparently my internet skills are insufficient for such a task. *sad face.

Tried to start a major project in the browser free creative version but turns out java is even more of a piece of shit then i anticipated. crashes every 5 minutes, keeping me from creating anything notable. i could save it every time i do anything but who really wants to spend most of their time saving their work. what is really lame is when java crashes one cannot just refresh the page and try again. it causes some kind of infinite crash forcing me to have to restart my browser. so every 5 minutes i have to take 30 seconds to re-open everything. not worth it. i do not understand why there is not a creative mode built into the launcher app. apparently Notch is working on it or mentioned it at some point or something, i do not know, i just hope it happens soon.

Finished watching An Idiot Abroad which stars Karl Pilkington along with Ricky Gervais and Steven Merchant. it is another installment in a long series of mock Karl shows. hilarious as always they send Karl to each of the worlds 7 wonders and see how he reacts to the culture surrounding the monuments. however the show does an excellent job of showing just how shitty most of the world is and why i may never go to any of these places in my life. for instance china's bathrooms are just holes in the ground with no door on the stalls. so basically you are just squatting in front of everyone. india was the same thing. apparently they are not advanced enough to invent doors for the bathrooms. i do not understand it. anyway the show is awesome and i highly recommend it along with the rest of the Karl mocking shows they have produced.

Went to subway with my sister to spend the gift card i got for christmas, afterwards we went to Meijer to spend the other gift-card i got for christmas. whilst at Meijer i realized it is very hard for me to spend 40 dollars on groceries. i honestly could not find anything i wanted that exceeded 20 dollars total. so i ended up getting some kickass unnecessary stuff. i bought a pack of Pokemon cards, i have to learn all the new Pokemon since there are like a million new ones. plus 150 more when Pokemon Black and White come out in a few months, which i will be spending the money to get. i also got a kickass die cast metal Recognizer from the new Tron movie.
Hells Ya!!!
So besides the curb that jumped out in front of us on the way there i made it home safe enough.

The Tron did not stop there, i soon realized that there had to be a badass Tron texture pack for minecraft and i set out on my electronic adventure through the internet to find my treasure. turns out it did not take very long...it was the first search result. anyway after taking 14 times longer then it needed to to install the pack(due to my inability to follow simple directions), i was ready to experience the Tron awesomeness. it did not disappoint, i even uploaded a video about it to my youtube page. bringing the total amount of youtube videos i have uploaded to.......1.
