What's messing with your groove?

To ease the mood a bit... lastest messing, if light: what the hell is wrong with the world when facebook has almost twice the monthly users of wikipedia?
Anyone?
Anyone?
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Define 'user' in the context of wikipedia?

visitor, ie. the number is unique visitors in a month.

BLAH. the mild numbness and cramping up in my left hand has been an annoyance, sure, but it's seriously encroaching on my guitar capabilities. Even simple Chariots of Fire theme is becoming difficult. Fuck this shit, I need a neurologist.

I worry that since I wake up SO OFTEN with my arm or arms asleep from cutting off the circulation that I might be getting nerve damage myself.

You're not missing much, unfortunately.

My addiction to poker shows on television.
They're all bad, none of them teach you anything about the game at all and high level poker players in general are a weird, weird breed, so why am I watching? I dunno, but I'm still fascinated.

Man- office politics at my job just went super-nova today. My main boss who had been angling to fire/get rid of my direct supervisor finally got her wish and he put in his 2 weeks notice today. The guy was a great supervisor and one I counted on as a friend as we got along very well and he was the one person in RL who knew more about MMA than I did and we could talk about fights endlessly. Now comes the part where everyone is going to start angling for his job and start that kind of strife in the office. He said it would probably be me and though I'd love the extra money I've seen my main boss fire the supervisor before him and now get this one to quit all in less than 2 years.
I'll be pissed if I don't get the job and someone who doesn't deserve it over me gets it but slightly relieved my head won't be on the chopping block. If I do get it I'll be happy with the money until my head starts looking juicy to lop off. This is gonna be a super-wierd/tough/hopefully not too nasty time at the workplace.

Battlefield 3...EA are kicking the living crap out of Activision in this round.
Far Cry 3...though I'm not sold on the idea of another FC game, after #2. Especially with the BS hype around 'characters' being important and engaging. Yeah right.
The Wii U has a horrid controller. Probably going to be another Wii (i.e. gimmicky, suited for casual gamers, with poor third-party game support, and not powerful enough for the next generation to keep it alive beyond the next year) except it will be crazy overpriced.
Uhm...Skyrim is performing well, but looking more and more like an action game and less like an RPG. MW3 is pretty much definitely going to be a carbon copy of MW2 with few improvements. Kinect and Move and 3D tech are getting a lot of pushing.
Most games you already know about - not much in the way of new material. Ghost Recon: Future Warrior has been completely restarted, though people are still complaining about it.
There really isn't much. I'm sure I'm missing something, but it's obviously nothing spectacular.

The fact that I have to invite members of my family to my wedding who have had little or nothing to do with my life so far yet as they are family they are worth spending all the money. This means that people who I really want to be there can't be. My parents sympathise with me, but apparently it is the done thing and as they are paying for a vast majority of it I want to appease them... It's just a bit annoying that people who could have come to the whole thing, who have had a bigger impact on my life than a couple of my uncles & aunts (I had to ask my dad what one of his brothers wives was called!), won't be there!

Send him over to InStrength.com. Combat sports, strength training and general bullshitting is what we do over there and generally at a high level too.
As for the job, good luck.

This is what post-wedding BBQs are for. Cheap, lovely way of reconnecting with those people and sharing the newlywed vibe with them.
