Well, my online life has changed...

It used to be all about the gaming. Or reading about gaming. Or looking for ways to make my gaming more efficient.

I've been WoW-free for over 6 months. I have it on a USB stick, for super-fast reinstall should I wish to, but I've just had no desire. Matter of fact, I have avoided any online gaming since my departure from WoW.

The last couple months, most of my time is spent on NetFlix, watching movies online. I sure do love me some NetFlix. I occasionally hit up Face Book, but not very often. And Twitter, I've forgotten my password yet again, I so seldom log in there.

It amazes me how much time I spend watching movies these days. Do not get me wrong; I still play games. However, I've moved to the Wii console. I rather like it, and it's something the wife and I can do together.

वूत

Comments are now turned on... took me long enough to figure that shit out...

New method of thinking I suppose

When I started this blog, the intent was I might talk about MMORPGs, or politics, or hell... even religion. Since my departure over the last few years, I've really lost interest in all three subjects.

So, not sure what direction this blog is going to go. Most likely it will be something along personal lines, but I am still not certain.

I'll at least try to keep it entertaining... but I make not promises as to how often I post....

Oh, The Money is Rolling

Since the beginning of this blog, I've made a massive 77 cents from the ads. I just wish I knew how to get rid of them.

Just amazing....

I got two bitches to air tonight... one, is the ads here. I have tried to remove them, and Goggle is being a dick about it.

The other, I had to do back flips to get logged into my account. Why the hell should it be so hard? But, then I suppose the rest of my life requires effort too....

Oh well.

Holy sheets.... 3 years already?!?

My my, how the time does fly. I can not believe it has been so long since I last posted on this crappy blog of mine.

Well... I'm kinda back, so... hopefully the postings will happen more often now.

I reread all my previous posts, and it astounds me how much I am not the person that started this pig back 5 years ago. Amazing.

Anyway, let my get settled in, and I shall attempt to pick up where I left off, and hopefully not with too much of the FaceBook 'weepy woe is me' shit that some blogs have become.

;)

See ya soon.

WoW... Not So Much Anymore....

Well, I've just about sworn off MMORPGs. I still have an active WoW account, but I've not been on it in nearly a week. I canceled my EvE Online account, and will eat glass before I ever play CoH/V again.

What's a disciple of the almighty silicon chip to do? I'll tell you what... it's to grab some emulators for old console games, and revisit my younger days of joy. I've been playing the hell out of some old Sega Genesis console games. Yes, I realize the games are probably older than the average McDonald's worker, but I don't care. The graphics might suck in today's standards, but the game design and sheer addictiveness has not been matched in the last 12 yrs.

And it was free... and if I can play a fun game for free, or choose to play a ho-hum game for $15/month... guess which way I am going.

Suck it, Blizzard... ya should'e stayed making RTS games...

My Man-gina is Itching...

I don't know what's become of me lately. I've really become emotional in regards to things that I would think only women would. Things like hearing sad items on the news, or an animal being done wrong, or an innocent child losing a parent...


I'm not sure if it is age, booze, booze-induced premature aging, or if I finally grew a soul.

*shrug*

Sometimes Nature Just Sucks...

The other day, I am sitting on the back porch, smoking away and this baby bird comes running right up to me. I dont know if this thing is rabid, or retarded. So I continue to enjoy my lung lancer, and watch. The bird does not seem to be in any hurry to go anywhere. He's just sitting there, looking at me.

So, my one weakness kicks in... That being I can not stand to see an animal suffer. I am assuming the bird fell from it's nest (it was still too young to fly). I scooped it up into protective custody. I had no idea how to care for it, so I called the vet hospital.. and was told they had no clue how to care... for ... a bird?!? Apparently, unless you are a dog, cat, or ferret.. you dont want to get sick here as the vets dont have a fucking clue on how to care for you. Anyway...

So I finally get in contact with some people (wildlife folks) that seem to know what they are talking about when it comes to baby birds. It seems that this is a baby robin, and his being on the ground that this point in his life was normal, and I should just release him. Which I did.

I found his corpse in the parking lot 2 days later.

And I actually wept. Real tears. Because I had him safe, and I let him go... and he died.

There is a lesson in there somewhere... I'm just not sure what it is yet.

And That is Why I Should Not Drink...

It's amazing the things that appear here, that I have no memory of posting. It's almost as if someone else had access to the account.

Did I Hurt Your Illegal Alien Feelings...?

The last post I did was a bit... insensitive. I acknowledge that, and I say FUCK YOU!@

You don't like what I write, fuck off. Go to some commie website that strokes your ghey vein.. you wont get it here I assure you.


That said... St. Joe McCarthy is prayed to here, in the hopes he will intercede on our behalf, and rid this country of every stinking last one of you socialist pig bastards.. may you all rot in hell.

Or a ceptic tank... depending upon your geographical location...

If you're are left, then you are wrong... if you are too far right, you're actually leaning left... why can not there be center folk?

KFC=Kan't Fuckin' Comprehend?

This seems pretty simple... "I want a 10-piece meal, all dark meat. That's legs and thighs only please!" and the somnambulent behind the register says "Ok... $ten fiddy please".

Now one assumes when the register monkey asks you for cash, naming an amount as well to the cash they require... one would assume they did the math, and are aware of what it is they sold you, and what you would expect at the window.

"Que?!? Yo no sabe del pollo fuentes... Por favor escuchin mi managore..."

Cluck you, Pedro!!!... I want fried chicken... how fucking hard is that you wetback bastard?!@?

You give me an extra side or biscuits, I swear to christ I am calling ICE. I know damn well they got "el pullo" in your country of origin. So don't look at me like a retard in the middle of traffic. Go ahead, Juan, slap the backs of your hands together, and play it up for the public dole.. but GODDAMMIT when I come by, your spic ass better get my order right... or I will be making a phone call.

Correct order=Pedro get's a check, and stays...

Incorrect order= ICE knocking on Pedro's door, as well as white devil assistant manager at KFC getting arrested and sent to PMIA prison for aiding and abetting a federal criminal...

WTF Are These Ads Doing Here? ----->

I didn't pick them, so don't blame me.

What to Play, What to Play?

Well, EvE has gotten old. I left it a couple months ago, but left my main account paid as I am still training . I went back to CoH for all of 1 hour. Could not take it, and the game is deleted from my hard drive. Never again.

I had been on a 4 month break from WoW, and thought I would check out all the new things. I rolled a toon on each of the new races, and to be honest the Alliance toon seemed cooler to me. Made him a Shaman, and got to level 27 before I developed an ulcer and put it on hold. There are people on the new server I went to that I know, all Alliance-side, and thought I would just go with my old fall-back toon... the gnome mage. Mages level fast. Well, they used to. I can't seem to make any traction with this sawed-off window-licker. Seriously, I've leveled mages and it seems like the run from level 1 to level 40 took me -maybe- a week? This fool just hit 20 this weekend, and I've had him a couple weeks now.

Oh wait... I think I just figured it out. I don't play this game like a crack-addicted monkey hitting the biscuit button any more. I average about 10 hours a week on it now, as opposed to the 40-60 hours a week I did back when it was... well addictive.

Am I getting wiser, or just more apathetic in my old age?

Time For My Annual Post

In all seriousness, I had forgotten I even had this thing. Work has had me hopping so much, that I have only time to drink and play games online. I suppose I could drink, and post.. but the seriously twisted path my mind has taken in the last year would probably get this site shut down from a drunken post.

And what has happened to Blogspot? Did Google® gobble them up as well?

It has been a while....

Almost been a year!

Wow, I did not expect I would've gone this long without posting. Even for me that's a long damn time.

Oh well, I'm back, and I hope to be a bit more frequent in my ravings. So much has gone on since I last post, I'm sure I could write a book.

Atlanta needs help....

While traffic troubles in the Atlanta metro area are not a new thing; the fiasco of Tuesday's hell really drives home (no pun) the point that this city has grown beyond the ability of the local authorities to cope.

The wreck (caused by one of thousands of doucebags around here) resulted in then entire northbound section of I-75 to shut down. Right at rush hour no less. My 30 mile commute home became a 3.5 hour endurance test. Other cities seem to have at least some coordinated plan when something like this happens. Not here. No, have a major wreck here and the entire city comes to a screeching halt.

The root cause to the problem is that the metro is comprised of some 27 different local jurisdictions. No one jurisdiction has been able to step up and get them all working together. Under normal circumstances, I would oppose federal intervention in any local matter. In this case, it may be acceptable if the state is unable (or unwilling) to take this in hand. And judging from the recent 'opus stupidis' of our current state level government I dont foresee this happening.

I need to move.

Time for another monthly update

When I started this, it was with the intention of marking my little piece of the web. My own little pissing spot where I could voice my opinions on things. Politics, games, life in general... And suddenly I find myself (well, not suddenly as it has been building over time) totally losing interest in those things. It is a serious malaise that has hit me. I've had a belly full of things.

I never really expected to see things improve. I just hoped they would. This world is on the express train to hell, and nobody seems to notice or care. At least not those that can do something about it. And now I think I am one of the legions of apathy. I'm not fighting it anymore. I just want to be left to my own devices at this point.

Meh.

Mexican Prez Upset??!?

So fucking what?

He's pissed because the US is taking a firmer stance against illegal immigrants. I have only two words in mind for him: Bite me.

#1 This still IS a sovereign nation, entitled to all the privileges that entails.
#2 We have a right to monitor, protect, and seal our borders.
#3 President Fox can blow my white challupa if he don't like it.

I am so sick and tired of hearing how "other countries" feel about how we run our own damn country. My opinion, for what it's worth... The next time "President" Fox opens his bean-hole, I think we should show him a little love courtesy of the USMC. Drop a frag on the mexican (the lower case is on purpose) "Casa del Presidente" the next time this 3rd-world wanna-be opens his callupa-suck. See how fast he learns the meaning of "secure border".

Fuck it. Seal all our borders. You want in... Apply like everyone else.

Druid owns my soul....

Well, I rolled a Night Elf Druid...Just to give it a try.

OMFG!!!

Had I known about this toon 6 months ago... My Rogue would never have been.

Complete and utter fun.

Druid is the class that I always dreamed of. They are the "kitchen sink" of all classes. Caster, Healer, Tank, and Rogue. You want it, the got it. Mind you, they don't do it as well as the classes that specialize in the respective skills... But if you want to solo, or be the adjustable wrench in the toolbox of any party... Druid is the way. This Class is just too fun.

I think, in all honesty... Had I not rolled a druid, I would be canceling my WoW account soon. Now,... I dunno. I'm seeing me putting another 300+hrs into leveling a toon.
