This Chapter Sucks So Far

Hello everyone.

I know it's been a while since I've posted. See, the great thing about working with little kids is that you always seem to be sick. This past week, I've been fighting what I thought was some kind of head cold. Turns out to be some viral infection, and there isn't anything the doctors can do.

So, until I get better.... Um... yeah, not much to write about.

So, until then, enjoy this clip!

Waiting for this game... is sooo hard!

Who's Cool Now?

I heard this the other day. It was an insta-buy (You have no idea how hard it was for me just then to spell BUY!)

Next Chapter

Hello all!

So the last two days I've been sick. That happens in my line of work. I mean, when you work with children your bound to catch something. Lucky this time it's nothing bad. Just a head cold. Stuffy and all that. One year, working in a preschool setting, I got strep throat six times! It was nuts. I got to the point of just calling in and having the doctor prescribing me the antibiotics.
Random picture of the day!
Speaking of work, it's going well. Going on my one month anniversary of being employed. Yeah, it's exciting. I mean, being out of work for nearly two years really dampers the spirit. But a lot of good did come from my time away from work. Things such as finding out my past girlfriend and I were not going to work, no matter how hard I tried. I explored different ideas about how I wanted to live my life. Met some new friends, which I then lost. Tried out some games (Warhammer 40k and Fantasy) that I've been wanting to try for a long time. I moved out of my home town, found a nice new place and bought a new (to me) car. Oh yeah, also met my current girlfriend due to being unemployed.

Yes, a lot of negative things came from being unemployed but I need to focus on the positive stuff. I mean, who wants to hear about boring stuff all... the .... time...

Well, you do read my blog!

As a side note, where have all the good side-scroller games gone? And why are they now only thought of as "casual" games. I mean, let's get these Halo guys on some old fashioned Contra for the NES and let's hear them scream casual.
Let's just see them try to beat the first level!
Anyway, back to the main focus here. With my roommate moving out soon, I'm having to look at myself again and figure out what I'm going to be doing with all my free time. I hope to be doing some more writing. Have been contacted to do some writing for a project that I'm really nervous about. Not the project but the fact that a lot of people could be reading what I've written. And some how having a public blog doesn't bother me.

Aside from writing, I hope to get some reading in, and maybe finish up my AA degree. Also, I'm planing a trip to Reno here during the summer. I get two weeks off, and would love to spend some time there. Who knows, maybe I'll even meet /someone./

Oh, and don't worry. I haven't forgotten about my Meet the Cast. Here, a taste of things to come.
Accentor rises.

Still Alive

Yes, I am still alive.

Been working and it's drawing a lot out of me. Getting up at 5 am, not getting home until 5:30 pm, only to have to head to bed at 10 to do it all over. It's been a challenge. The work itself is fun. Just not used to only have 5-6 hours to myself a day anymore.

Some big changes coming. My roommate is moving out. Now, reasons aside (No, he's not mad at me), he's leaving his two children behind with his ex and moving across country. Now if I didn't mention it before, this guy was devastated before when he moved to a new town because he felt like he was being a bad father. He told me time and time again that he would never leave his own children.


Warning: This game my provide hours of enjoyment for you and your friends.  Buy at your own risk!

And here we are. I'm trying to decide if I'm upset that he's leaving his children behind or that I'm just upset that he's leaving. Maybe it's the fact that now joining his church again he says he can't play Pathfinder anymore. That it doesn't "feel right" and that he wants to be "closer to God." Yet he has no issues playing Skyrim, Everquest or any of the other MMO's he has installed on his PC. How is Pathfinder any different?

Aside from that.

Been really sleepy on the weekends. Not sure if it's because I don't wake up at my normal time (5:30) or because the week drains me. Or some weird side effect of the medication. But either way, I'm super sleepy on the weekends and spend most of them just in bed. So, got to try to find a way to change that.

As for work, well it's really different from California. Not so much the policies. For the most part, they are a lot alike. But it's the people, and the management, and the communication (or lack there of) that really gets to me. The job does have chances for advancement as well as relocation. Hoping I can more up north here in a year or two.

Finally beat Skyrim, or close enough to where I've rolled a new character. Over 163 hours with that game for me and my Nord warrior. On to make a High Elf mage, then more then likely a Khajiit assassin. That is, if I can talk my roommate out of his PS3. Maybe I can link it to Pathfinder and he'll just give it to me. *Smirks*

I think he's hitting on me...
As for my writing, I feel that once my roommate leave, I will be able to keep on on writing here and for other projects. Not sure why but once someone moves in, I seem to slack off. I don't do as much around the house as I do when I was alone, or when the ex wasn't here. So I feel that maybe once he's gone, as much as I really appreciate him moving in and the help he gave me to make it though these past months, I will be doing a lot more for myself.

Well, I hope to be posting a lot more on there again. I know I didn't post at all last month really. But I'll be getting back to it.

Until then, take care. And may the Force be with you.

And remember, the Force doesn't look down at you for playing Pathfinder, or any games.
