No Diggity

Well, I don't know why I haven't written much lately. Writer's block? Who knows. I haven't been sleeping well, and work has had me stressed. Warcraft has been a nice escape. I've been running a farm. It's almost like my Warlock got old and retired. Not yet.
Well, I've been watching a lot of anime. Some good, some so-so. They are about to start me on new drugs. And might change my sleeping meds. Allergies have been making things worse.

So, this song has been stuck in my head. It is all that revolution in the air. That, and the song is catchy.

Otherwise, I have been playing Warcraft. Escaping reality. Life is just a fantasy, can't you live this fantasy life? I'm off like a...a...I need a new phrase.

Well, I took a little break from posting over the long weekend. Just did stuff. However, I had a thought. OK, I had many thoughts.
One of them was that I got some awesome gear in Warcraft for my warlock.  Pretty awesome.  I'm a video game junkie of sorts.  I'm big on old school games, like dominating "NES Play Action Football", and RPGs.  Role Playing Games.  Now, get your mind out of the gutter.  They are some of the most intelligent games around.  Most of the ones I play are also now old school.  Role Playing Games let you immerse yourself into the story.  Some are played with dice on a table top.  Most of them I play anymore are video games.  I play a lot of older games, like Final Fantasy I-XII, though honestly, after IX they have gone steadily downhill.  Now, I also play World of Warcraft, an MMORPG.  I know, it's a mouthful.  For those who don't know what that means, it means "Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing Game".  It means that when I log in, I can team up with friends to go defeat monsters and defend our homeland.  Even my wife and I can team up and go defend Gnomes and Dwarfs.  Why?  It's fun.  It's a little escape from everyday life.  Also, you have to use teamwork, strategy, and you have to pay attention to a lot of instructions and dialogue if you want to get the most out of the game.
There, I've said my bit about RPGs.  They are like reading a book that you get to interact with.  Like "choose your own adventure" without peeking to see if you chose wrong.
I now turn my attention to something that has been bugging me for a while.  I write.  At least I used to.  Now I write a little, but not as much as I used to.  Why?  I'm not sure.  I have to ask my self "What am I waiting for?".  To help with that is The Bravery with "Believe"



What are we waiting for? Why don't we do things we want to do?  I need to write more.  It doesn't matter what, as long as I enjoy it.  I need to use my life to inspire my writings.  I write short stories that just come out of thin air.  I write poetry that comes from deep within.  I write inspiration with hopes that at least one person gets something from it.  I write because I want to, and because of that, I should keep writing.  I have decided I need to really get my head back in the game.  I can't just say "I don't have time" because you can always make time for what you like to do.  If you can't, you're doing something wrong.

Well, it has been a busy day. But a good one so far. Since it's been good, I figured I'd post now! That way, if something bad happens, I'll always have this to remember my day by.  OK, not really, but I wanted to post something positive.  Also, it's to make sure I post this today!
Earlier we were talking about aliens and ancient civilization.  I was on fire with getting things done.  I feel good.  I got to do my Warcraft daily quests over lunch.  We listened to good music.  Which reminds me, this cover of Boston's "More Than A Feeling" is really awesome.



That was nice...now I should rant.
So there has been this strange status thing going around that was supposed to raise awareness for breast cancer, but really is just annoying.  The whole "I'm X weeks and craving Y" thing started out as confusing, then became annoying, and I never got the connection to breast cancer.  Then again, most chain status updates on Facebook are just annoying to me.   Why not put "I support breast cancer"?  Also, this may sound strange, but, how more aware can we be of breast cancer?  It's on soup cans, commercials, snacks, almost every food or type of clothing at one time or another, and ribbons everywhere.  Why not raise awareness for female heart disease?  I don't hear about that every day.  Who knows, maybe I just feel that once something is over saturated, it loses it's meaning.

Now, something that doesn't lose it's meaning, or it's flavor, is Reece's Peanut Butter Cups.  Or Reece's Pieces...or anything "Reece" as Calfo would put it.  Why do I mention them?  They are AWESOME!  Why else?  I just now thought "I should be eating a Reece's" and so I will.  Good day.

Sometimes my work makes me want to cry.  Not because it hurts my brain, or is difficult.  I enjoy a challenge.  The sadness comes from making something I feel is aesthetically pleasing and offers dynamic features for a website, and it becomes a black and yellow mess.  Now, for those of you expecting me to play the black and yellow song, no sir.  I don't want to think about black and yellow.  It makes me want to cry.  So here to express how I feel is Godley & Creme with "Cry". 



Now, at least I got an epic cloak in Warcraft.  Yeah!

So, this song go stuck in my head. Why? I said something about giving someone 8% of my love, and everything "Square One" rushed into my head. But, my all time favorite "Angle Dance" got stuck, and will be stuck for some time.


So, my brain got sidetracked by the new processors from AMD, the APU.  Processor with build in graphics. I have been thinking about the zillions of possibilities. One of which could be a viable gaming netbook or tablet. Of course, the tablet would need a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to work, and a pull out stand for the tablet, but if it could play HD video well and also game, it could be awesomeness. Same thing with a great gaming laptop that wouldn't have to weigh 15 pounds. No one would expect it to be the best graphics ever, but if you could play things like World of Warcraft or other MMOs on medium to high settings on a laptop with no issues at all, it would be cool. Especially if it runs on high settings. Or you could play HD movies really well.

This whole thing has got me excited.  I love new technology.  I want to remove my appendix and replace it with a computer that is wired to my brain.  I want to pump music directly into my auditory system.  I want to pull up things and have them link into my optic center.  Watch movies in my head.  Look up things online by thinking it.  Oh, the joys!  Power a robotic arm with my brain, and check my email in my left eye while still interacting with people with my right.  Ooooooooooooh, so cool.  I'm so getting myself cybernetic enhancements.

You know...I didn't really have any crazy out there thoughts.  I was too busy thinking about actual stuff.  I did realize that I would like to play Warcraft a little more.  I like the challenge.  I just haven't been able to play as much.  I want to smite the undead!  Blow things up!  Then I want to play video games.  Just kidding, I don't smite the undead in real life.  I did have one random thought, and it was this.



There.  Now you too can have pink fluffy unicorns.  Let them dance on rainbows!  Let them be free!  That's all for now.  Thank you, and good day.

OK, so I've been thinking about all the things I could be doing, and wonder if I should start trying to venture out a little bit into each one. Like doing comics or animation. Or possibly doing music with my brother. Maybe I'll work on writing more. I've got a lot of things I've already written, and I write articles on occasion. Poetry. Short stories. Doing an interview soon. I have ideas for things that I could design. Web sites I could design. Things I could plan.

Maybe I just have too many ideas floating around in my head.  That wouldn't surprise me.  I just feel like I could be doing more.  How much more?  I have no clue.  I just keep thinking that if I try a little bit of everything, I'll figure out what it is I want to do.  I enjoy cooking a lot, but starting a restaurant is expensive.  Really expensive.  Maybe I should regulate.



I liked this mix because I once thought about doing one like it. Still might. It's because I liked the original "Regulate" by Warren G and Nate Dogg. Here's that.



I also really liked "I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)" by Michael McDonald. It's a great song, and the one used for the beat in the previous song. Here it is.



So, I know I always seem to have a song in these blogs.  This time I liked the songs enough to post both of them and the mix of the two.  Why?  Because I could.  I like music, and always have a song in my  head or I'm finding some forgotten song somewhere.  It's one of the many things that I ponder on a daily basis.

I actually happened to hear the "Regulate (Jammin' Remix)" on my Dr.Dre Pandora station.  I was out killing things in World of Warcraft on my Dwarf Warrior.  He's cool.  I hear a lot of music at work or playing games.  Or from that wonderful whosampled.com website I've grown to love so much.  I was going to use GrooveShark to embed these, but it seems that I can't post more than one song, and even then it seems to have issues.  Oh well.  YouTube to the rescue!

I feel I've rambled.  I was not born a ramblin' man.  I just became one as I got older.  The more I have to talk and think about, the longer I go on and on and on and on and on and on......
