The day starts out like any other. I roll out of bed, take a shower, get dressed, give her a kiss goodbye and go to work, but this time the routine is broken slightly. I have to put on the oh-so-important red hat before I step outside and every greeting or farewell I give that day feels just a bit more sincere than the usual snark that flows from ( Read more... )

Well hello there, journal I've ignored for another year and a half. How have you been? I'm alright. I could talk a bit about things that have been going on. Few minor happenings here and there, occasional noteworthy event sprinkled about. That's all boring though. There's really only one thing that's important.

I got a Hearthstone beta key, and ( Read more... )

Been a while. I've been around, but I realized I've ignored this for another two years. Typical, I know. Maybe eventually we just grow out of this crap.

So, I've just turned 25 and I got woken up a few days ago with a kiss and the startling revelation that I'm now a quarter-century old. I suppose this is a milestone worth noting somehow. Sometimes I ( Read more... )

I looked mournfully at the endless pile of boxes spilled from one of the many pallets I had been tasked with moving. They were everywhere, except on the pallet where I needed them to be. I sighed, already suspecting she did this on purpose. No one puts all the tiny boxes on the bottom and the heavy ones on top unless they're an idiot or they're ( Read more... )

Wow, has it really been 10 years already?

10 damn years since SEGA released one of the greatest things known to man. I'm still amazed that a decade later, I'm still putting time into it. I've lost count of how many rounds the missus and I have logged on Soul Calibur alone, that's not even mentioning Power Stone, SF3, or Guilty Gear X. Or ( Read more... )

Oh my good lord in heaven, I have been absent for six months. SIX. Because of my glaring lack of momentary nuggets of wisdom dotting the internet landscape, it has turned into a cruel and dark mistress caring little for others and numbing the few who have not converted. It is black, scary, slightly smelly and altogether unpleasant. Filled with ( Read more... )

I'm so very tired, but that's okay because summer is so pleasant and waaaaarm. I love it, but I know as soon as I really start appreciating it, it'll get fucking cold again. Then I'll get sick and then I'll feel like crap and stay cooped up in the house leaving only to go to work or school and then I'll come and whine on here some more and bla bla ( Read more... )

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me.

I'm so old that I forget my own birthday now. It was two days ago and I couldn't figure out for the life of me why everyone was being so nice. I thought I had fallen into Bizarro world or something. I nearly grabbed Ash by the shoulders and screamed out, "why the hell are you being so pleasant to me?!" But ( Read more... )

I've been to a few concerts in my  life, but they're almost always universally sad or boring. It's either "concerts" of "bands" that might as well just be labeled as a recital and concerts of hardcore cover bands with a lot of screaming that really goes nowhere. HOWEVER, took a small trip to the windy city with my cousin and the missus for what ( Read more... )

At some point in my life, I really started to dislike resorting to violence, but sometimes, it's so fucking deserved.
