There’s a point in time at any cubicle job, and probably any 9-5 or shift job where regardless of how fast the day seems to have gone by, you eventually realize that you only have an hour or two to go before you can leave, at which point time slows down like Hiro Nakamura ( Read more... )

So about two months ago I made a post whining about how I felt cockblocked from being open and free, and otherwise uninhibited from talking about anything I wanted to. I’m mostly over that. While I still doubt I’ll be talking about any of that shit I at least feel less ( Read more... )

This has been one insane year for gaming. At least a dozen extremely anticipated games have come out this year, most of them in the past two months. With Left 4 Dead out today, I can’t think of a single game coming out after this that’s actually worth owning. This is a good ( Read more... )

15 pounds, 30 days. Starting tomorrow. Can I do it?

I’ve rewritten this post twice now. God damnit.

The purpose of this post? Twas to be coming clean, making my stand, saying, “I’m sick of not being capable of being open about my life.”

I was never able to do it with Amber, and now that we’re not together anymore you’d think ( Read more... )

This time it’s coming directly from the phone itself. That’s right, I’m currently sitting in my car on my lunchbreak updating my blog. Yes, I AM aware that this is old news, people have been doing this for years now; no, i’m NOT special. I am in fact behind on the times. ( Read more... )

Just got myself an iPhone today. So far I’m extremely impressed, though there’s something of a learning curve involved if you’re not used to smartphones or Mac’s. All around though it’s a good time.

Gotta start handing out my new phone number though, which is kind of a pain ( Read more... )
