OK, this won't be very long. New year, new ideas, new illness. But it also means it's time for me to begin writing again. I figure if I can get into the habit of writing as often as possible, then maybe I will start to get over the writers block. This? This isn't affected...effected...hmmm...this is not altered by my writers block because this is just my random thoughts. They just flow out. My wife told me they are about five minutes behind. Thanks dear. She's right you know. I'm getting over some sort of illness. Coughing and poor sleep and the like. I keep saying I'm not sick. It's just that I'm not well. HA!
Man, I used to rock out to that on Karaoke night. I think I should find somewhere to go do Karaoke again...but it can't be a country bar. I just don't fit in well. I was about to say something else, but I looked down and thought that the piece of foil was shiny. Then I noticed my Blizzard Authenticator. I use it to make sure no one steals my awesome stuff in Warcraft. Big thanks to Nathan for getting me some super cool gear. That's worth at least 480 props. I need to find out if we are still saving up our props to buy yachts.
So, I think I'm going to play some Vagrant Story before going to sleep. There's something fun about old PlayStation games. I don't care about graphics when the game-play is awesome. That game is freakin' awesome. I make my own weapons, kill dragons and zombies, and I fight evil crusaders. I also solve puzzles!
We've been watching Law & Order: Criminal Intent. I'm glad Corey is around to explain some of the psychology stuff to me. Very twisted entertainment. I'm starting to ramble. Well, ramble more than ever. I just started staring at my fingers so I'll end here. Happy New Year!!!

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!

Well, it seems that I got really busy for a while there. I'm eating lunch right now. Well, if you call a bag of microwave popcorn lunch. I figured while I had the time, I'd write a little something here. I think I need to take more time to just do things I like doing. I know I have to work and all that, but I think I need to set aside some time while I'm really awake (anything you do on sleep aides or good painkillers doesn't really count) to do things I like to do. I was out killing people in Warcraft and heard this song. I hadn't heard it in a long time, and couldn't even remember it's name or who it was by. It turned out to be "I'd Love To Change The World" by Ten Years After.
Pretty awesome. I think that Colin and I need to figure out how to remake this. Maybe Shaun can drum for it. We'll start a band. It will not be a very good band, mainly because I'm not sure that I'd be all that much help, and we'd have to have more people to overcome my tone-deafness. Maybe I should write new songs?
I wrote a short story today. I might write another. I have deadlines coming up. This one was "flash fiction" where you write a short story that is limited in length and people have to kind of put the story together from what little detail they are given. Mine is here. Feel free to be honest. I'm still working out the whole writing thing. That has also suffered form my lack of ability to multitask lately. I think I need to start doing more things at once. Let my brain do it's crazy thing where it sorts everything into the correct pile. Yeah. That's the ticket. Well, hopefully I can get back to doing this every day. It at least keeps my writing skills fresh.

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.
