The throne

One day....

I hope one day I can give my kids experiences that teach life lessons in multiple levels, like my dad has for me.

Mobile blogging

I DLed an app for my iPhone (yes, I've gone completely to the dark side), and am trying it out. I'm hoping this will allow me to update more regularly. There's always a hope, right?

Things are really messed up in my professional life right now, just so much confusion... I just want some sanity there so I can have security.

... I suppose that's what a lot of us want.

I spent the last month working in exile in California. It was frustrating being away from all my family and friends without really knowing why I was out there. In fact, I'm still not sure, but I have some ideas.

I wish I had crazy resources to travel more. The Internet is great in that it creates a global society, but you still have to pay an arm and a leg and sit on a plane for 6+ hours to get to Europe. Where the he'll are our transporters?? Or at least personal jets.

I'm. Bit melancholy right now I suppose...

Narcisism

What drives someone to be a horrible person? I might be a bit full of myself (ok, a LOT full of myself), but I think that generally I believe I am a decent person and act like one. I like to imagine that people like me because I act decently. I try to lend a sympathetic ear, I try to do right, i don't beat up bums - unless they really deserve it. I don't kick babies.
Even evil babies that have it coming.

So why are others in the world horrible? What is the point?

I will assume that making someone else miserable somehow validates their existence.

Let's assume my assumption is true.

That's sad. These people are really sad.

I hope that I can eradicate these sad people from my life, but I hope even more that my friends and family can get rid of the sad and terrible people that meanthem discomfort just to boost themselves. Because the people I roll with? They're not those people.

And we will overcome. We might get knocked down a bit, but we have each other to lean on, to hold up, to get pulled up by. A support system.

I've decided there is no more room for horrible people in this world. Join me. RISE UP! Kick the nastiness to the curb.

Also, listen to the new strokes album. it's good.

Aaaaannnnnd.... we're back!

Thanks to Gawker media's issues with password security, my little humble slice of internet was shut down by the man. I understand and support their security concerns.

But you can't keep a good (or even mediocre) blog down!

I have recovered my history.

I can hear the legion of faithful fans breathing a collective sigh of relief.

In the imortal words of George Costanza: "I'm back, baby!"

A challenge, met.

Well, It's October. That means next month is November. That also means it is NaNoWriMo... National Novel Writing Month.

I've toyed with the idea of doing it for years. I think I even started it one month and failed miserably. Usually, I remember it's happening halfway through November. This time, however, I got a heads up from a friend, and so have plenty of time. I can think about what I should write. i can plan it out a little bit. i can psyche myself up.

It's quite the commitment. 6 pages a day for 30 days. I have trouble writing 6 sentences in this blog, and I'm going to do 6 pages? Audacity, meet your new overlord.

But, I think I need this. i need some discipline. Recently, I beat a PC game (Dragon Age). At the end, it consumed me. While I did enjoy the story, I just wanted to finish it, to finish something. A need not met in my professional life. So I would stay up late into the night, trying to get to the end of the story, the big meandering, glorious story.

Finally, i ended up triumphant. Almost all the side quests; the main quest complete. And since then I haven't had the desire to play a video game. That will change eventually, but for now, my mind wants to take on other pursuits.

I think that I need to give this blog a facelift. It's been very loyal to me, waiting obediently outside the door for me to return to it, even if I am gone for months at a time. I think it deserves better.

I have a domain that I could move it over to, but I'm not sure I want to leave blogger. I really need to find an easy way to update both sites at the same time, but my skillz aren't l44t enough.

Bookwise, I am 3/4 of the way through "The Book Thief". It's been some good stuff. Very serious stuff from what I had been reading recently, but great book for all the rain we've been receiving.

Fuck Paranoia

I've been wanting to write on here for a while, but I have avoided it as I have been worried someone would come across it and I'd somehow offend someone... well, screw that. This is my life, and these are my thoughts and if it bothers you, then don't read it.

I've been very unhappy lately. Turned 33 recently, and nothings changed. Still money stressed, my job is miserable (that's on the good days) and I feel I'm just treading water. barely.

I want to stop being a Debbie Downer. I want to perk up. I want to be happy. I just don't know how.

Maybe I need to suck it up. Maybe I need to stop sulking and smile. Maybe I need to just do what I have to do. And maybe, I need to get rid of the bad influence(s) in my life.

Maybe I should start today.

In other news: Been listening to the thermals non stop lately, their whole catalog. I acquire so much new music, it's nice to have a band to absorb. If they were around when I was in high school, I would have definitely written their name on my backpack in permanent marker. I can just let them repeat over and over again.
