man, all these years of playing pokemon games............ ok, i wont take the competitive Pokemon aspect into account, and these are in no particular order.
*Jolteon: (held the #1 spot the longest, and i honestly don't think anyone will challenge his title)
*Tyranitar: (made the list purely thanks to the movie Pokemon 4ever. he owes celebi a big thanks)
*Blaziken
*Milotic
*Absol: (also made the list because of a pokemon movie and a few other things. The movie with salamence, groudon and Jirachi lol . Flygon was the other pokemon to catch my eye from that movie)
*Dragonite:(current #1)
*Could you imagine yourself belonging to a different part of smogon (C&C? BW OU, UU, tournament players, etc) outside of your current crew?
I honestly cannot see myself outside of my "current crew", AKA the vgc community and a forum. I can see myself hanging in tournaments and playing in a few, but that is it really.
I'm not really into the creation side of pokemon, i have no move I've ever wanted to create. if i had to think of one on the spot, i would go with a move that switched a pokemons Ability to its secondary ability (or its other ability, maybe even dw. it would be randomly picked). i think a move like that would be pretty cool in the doubles metagame. i would definitely play around with it in VGC.
at one point, yes, but then i stopped for awhile. i dont even remember why i stopped, but it was the same thing with a few others like Full metal Alchemist. I tried to pick up One Piece again, but there were too many episodes and the huge list of them turned me off to the idea of catching up. this has only gotten worse as the number of episodes has only increased. i REALLY liked OP, and i hope to someday pick it again, sit myself down and catch up.
I did however go back, pick up and finish FMA and a few others though, hehe :).
Rush hour 1&2 probably double up as my favorite comedies/action movies. I just have a huge man crush on Jackie Chan. he is, and has been my favorite actor for a very long time.
i also really used to enjoy Melcom in the middle, probably my favorite sit com.
Chris Rock has to be my favorite Comedian, sorry, but the guy is just so funny.
MANY
thanks
i need to work harder to make more of them come true :(. the hard work never ends it seems. its one battle after another.
pssssshhh, why dont you come say that to my charizards face whiles its in face up attack position, it'll digivolve all over your ass and send you packing to the shadow realm.
do you mind being called niggahaza
only if its from you, then i dont mind because i <3 you V. :*
tell me some of your drug-addled misadventures
you mean drug stories? sorry but i am a drug virgin (is that....is that even a term?)
i've like done some hookay, took a smoke from a cigarette (i was so young and wanted to be cool, dont judge me). i took half a bite of some "special" brownie and started to flip the fuck out because i thought i had done drugs, but it wasn't enough to affect me so it wasn't hard for me to calm down.
Look i haven't done anything big ok, not even weed. I was really, REALLY, really against all drugs until recently ok. When i come to visit, it will be your job to take my virginity away
What's the strangest place (or oddest circumstance) where you have fallen asleep?
once Michael and i went out to a friends 21st birthday party, we both drunk too hard and could barely walk to the car in the wee wee hours of the morning, we ended up just crashing in the car, doors unlocked, in some neighborhood we had no idea where we were.
I've had more wild stories awake than asleep. Sorry Mingot, i know that was a bit weak and disappointing
what, in your opinion, is the best motivant to exercise? (or the one that was the most effective for you personally, either internally brought about or coming from outside circumstances)
i will give you 2 answers.
answer 1:
From my experience, i would have to say that a reason attached to another Human being is the best motivation.
For example: When i started, the biggest motivation had to be a combination of 2 things, that together, they both accounted for over 80% of my wanting to finally lose the weight, and i wanted to succeed bad because of those 2 things. The first was the VGC Community. That year i would get to meet with friends at vgc events, and i wanted to slim down, to look good at these events where they see me like twice a year. i wanted to walk around confidently, i wanted to surprise them, to impress them, the list goes on. i did not want to feel so self conscious around the crowd. I had tried that with my friends that lived close to me, with my family even, but since they all saw me a lot, i couldn't do most of those things to them. The VGC community only saw me a few times a year like i said, so all the elements needed for what could not work with friends in my area would work with the VGC community. i mean, gosh, they would get to see a new me, etc. Just the thought of your friends seeing your newly transformed self, so awesome~
The second reason was a girl that had managed to catch my eye, and my heart (AWWWWWW, i know right). i mean, God, i had the biggest crush on this person, but my self confidence was low, and although i knew that it was a relationship that was never going to happen, it made me realize that when i fell for a girl that the circumstances would allow for it, and a relationship was very possible, i wouldn't be prepared. I wouldn't have what it takes, what i need in my mind. Also this brought back memories of a girl in that past that went for another guy because i was just not physically attractive. I know that i never heard those words from her mouth, but the mind is a funny thing, and you come up with your own conclusions. I needed to be able to compete with other guys in the future. anyways, this girl was a huge motivator. just the idea of what she stood for, plus the emotions running through me because of her at the time, i mean, it was pretty overwhelming.
so yeah, People, they are a great motivator. From simply needing to look good because you'll be somewhere in 2 weeks to 1 month (this is why people rush and go on quick diets for whatever that event is, and the people at the event or whomever that 1 special person at the event is), to even something like a anime convention. Knowing you'll be in cosplay, being looked at by thousands of people, or wanting to do the cosplay justice and look good in it for that weekend. if its something attached to a human(s), i think it can become a powerful motivator.
heck, even that weight loss/muscle gain thread of mine ties into the whole "human" explanation i made above. it was a thread to the public, where smogon responded based on what i posted, and just knowing that so many people knew about my weight loss goals, and were waiting to see what comes next, well that was enough to be a huge motivator by itself. ACCOUNTABILITY at its finest
Answer 2:
this next point will be a bit harder to explain because, well, its just hard to pin point and translate into words (at least for me).
ok here goes; It really comes down to how bad you want it in the end. We can look at the best motivators, equipment, knowledge, convenience, etc, but in the end it will come down to how badly you want it. I had tried to lose weight for the past 3 years, and failed. all i asked myself was that i never give up, that i always picked myself back up and tried again each year, and last year i guess i must have finally wanted it badly enough.
here is a great example i think. A few years ago, i wanted an Xbox360 really bad, but my funds were very limited. i went on craigslist and finally found a very good deal for what i could afford, but it was first come first serve. I went all the way from Bellevue to a part of Seattle i did not know, with very poor transportation knowledge of the area, and it was very late at night ( i wouldnt get home until past midnight, did i mention i wasnt driving too?) looking back at the whole situation, it was very stupid, but i wanted it bad enough at the time that despite all the risks and obstacles (its craigslist too ffs), i went and got my xbox360 :). now in the past few years, i've had incidents where i wanted to buy a game on craigslist, were i had multiple opportunities to meet with the seller(s), but plans fell through because i was either "too busy", or wanted to do something else that appealed to me more that day. I just simply did not want it bad enough with those games.
really in most things we do, the biggest factor to whether we succeed or not is how badly we want it. from sports, to that one work/school project, grades, weight loss/general fitness.
If you want to achieve your personal fitness goals bad enough, you'll achieve them. it is a feeling inside you that cannot be explained. You'll find, like i did, that you're putting working out above things like video games, computer time, TV time, relaxation time, and sometimes even sleep and hanging out with your friends. it will be on your mind like the fucking plague. sometimes all i did was work, gym because thats all i had time for. other times it was work, school, gym (again, all i had time for). you'll find that it takes priority when you want it bad enough, and let me tell you, it takes its toll on you, both mentally and physically, but you rest for just a bit, then you keep soldering on. That is what happens when you want it bad enough. Its a passion so strong, a determinism/will power that you would never had thought in a million years that you had in you. a flame so strong that you feel like only God himself would be able to stop you (its silly but true, at least when it comes to stopping you from at least trying). again, this goes for everything in life
