tonight howard zinn died at the age of 87 from a heart attack

& my heart actually aches. he was a big inspiration growing up.

i've read a lot of his books, but never finished reading A People's History. one of my 22 goals by the time i turn 23 is to finish it now. i played laser tag again tonight for my 'party like it's my birthday' (my birthday was sunday) in his honor. instead of dedicating each round to mother russia i dedicated it to him and i kicked ass! one round i got first place out of 22 players and became an excellent sniper. totally preparing for inevitable armed revolution no doubt.

win & win!

tonight i played four games of lasertag for the first time & it was epic! (!!!)

i also won this on eBay for 19.95:

a Polaroid Spectra 1200ff - which i mentioned wanting back here. I was also bidding on an sx-70 one step, but lost it before i left for the battlefields.

P.S. you can refer to me as Falcon from now on, and while my accuracy may only be 13.43% my tag ratio is 152.94%!
