I AM A ROCK GOD!!!

I've made it well known throughout this blog... unless you're Howard Stern or Rush Limbaugh, you don't make much money in radio. It's a job I love, but a job I barely get by doing. Most of my investment portfolio is tied up in housing and food.

That being said... I can't afford nice, fun things. I don't have any video game consoles in my house. Partly because I don't have the time to play them, but mainly because I just can't afford it. But I found myself with some free time today.

Having suffered a stiff neck for the past couple of days, I finally gave in... payed my $25 co-pay, and trudged to my doctor's office today. They prescribed me some fun sounding drugs, and it was off to Wal-Mart to get them filled. The nice lady at the Pharmacy told me it would be about 20 minutes until they are filled. Cool. I've got a few things to pick up.

I wander through the store, and into the Men's department, where a beautiful sight awaits me:

Rock Band 2. A full demo set-up.

No one is around... I pick up the drumsticks, and scroll through the list of songs. I find a song I like.... and start pounding away on the kit.

In my very first time EVER playing Rock Band. I scored 93% playing Paramore's "That's What You Get" on fucking EXPERT. And most of the misses that landed me at 93% were at the beginning while I got it down quickly, and mainly because the display is also blasting the new AC/DC CD at the same time... so trying to distinguish one song from the other got annoying.

BUT 93%. ON EXPERT. FIRST TIME EVER. AND I did it with a stiff neck. Although video games don't require THAT much head movement.

Pretty sad that that was the highlight of my day, eh?
