Last night John and I went to Wal-Mart to see if they had any Wiis. They didn't, so we decided to play with stuff before we left. I was happy to see a setup with Guitar Hero 2, which I had yet to play.

Let me establish that I'm a huge fan of the first game and rhythm games in general. That genre is likely the closest I'll ever come to truly rocking out. So when I heard there was a sequel my interest was piqued. The track list, to be honest, is frankly awesome. Mainly because it has Spinal Tap on it. Spinal Tap counts for an awful lot.

The point of this post is that I was playing "War Pigs" when this guy came over and started rooting for me. He was convinced of my greatness. He grabbed his phone and told his friend about how awesome I am and made him listen. He stopped passers-by and made them watch. I was glowing with pride. He was glowing with what I assume was marijuana.

For journalistic integrity it is my duty to report that I'm really not all that awesome. I missed a good couple of notes and I was only playing on medium difficulty. I did break a hundred thousand points, but to be honest I haven't played enough to know how good that is. But one guy was moved, and I have succeeded at rock and roll. I want to give a shout out to random stoned guy from Wal-Mart. I do it for you.
