| Pleasant Surprise |
[Mar. 14th, 2008|02:34 am] |
Now I did not go into the movie expecting much but I was utterly surprised at the quality of it. Yes yes yes its about a virus that breaks out and they have to quarantine Scotland. Hince causing Scotland to become a place of no rules/government/peoplewhocare. But it actually had a story, it was written well. As well as a movie of its type can be. There were a few cheesy parts but all in all I very much enjoyed it. To put it simply with hopefully not giving away to much it was Mad Max meets King Arthur meets Outbreak minus the monkey. Oh and throw in a bad ass of a woman (Rhona Mitra) who kicks ass/does not take names, but does it without super powers... unless you count her eye which is umm fake... you will see what i mean when you watch the movie. So if you are looking for an entertaining action movie Doomsday did not disappoint. 3 1/2 stars out of 5.
Oh and the moon is nice tonight. Its a half full tonight and I just wish I had a nice enough camera to stop and take a picture of it... oh wait scratch that I just wish I had a camera. |

Apparently very sleepy but less so now. Got home around 10pm and crashed out for 2 or so hours. Woke up about 20 minutes ago. But that is not the reason I type. This damn person keeps showing up in my dreams over the last few years. I have no idea who she is but she shows up about once a month. We talk about something or another, there is some kind of adventure and then I wake up. I can not remember her face at all. I know shes a bit shorter then me, very curly hair and short but slender build. If you know this person or you are this person please contact me so i can convince them/you to stop showing up in my dreams. Starting to freak me out since I dont know you. Or at least introduce yourself. |

| Brain Leakage |
[Feb. 27th, 2008|09:36 pm] |
We are not simple beasts. At least not all of us are. We are often driven from our basic wants/needs with these silly conjectures our brains come up with before we have every piece of evidence. Gotta love the human brain. It can come up with so many things art, music, medicine, ideas, wars, greed, love, hate and personal delusions. One of my brains bad traits is that it over analyze everything, always coming up with more and more possibilities for us to follow. Every situation I observe I wonder what could change this for the better for me or if there is anything that Im currently doing to make it worse. I will do this for everything, I come up with excuses for being late hoping that someone will ask the right question to set it off. Or I come up with possible things to say to questions that might confuse or intrigue the people I am talking to. I just wish in situations like that my brain could come up with those faster. I think this is why I enjoy solving puzzles. Take work for instance, customers come up to me with a problem and I attempt to solve it right away. Sometimes I get it right away and others it takes me hours to solve. Its not really a good thing though for my brain to travel these paths though because I will often get one thing set into my mind and it will bother me or depress me even if it is completely wrong. I have always been good at getting along with people or getting people to like me but I would much rather be straight to the point about situations and ideas not worrying about peoples feelings. But unfortunately being the type of person who thrives on the company of others I avoid these direct ways to keep the people happy. Social vampireism maybe? No idea.
This entry has no point just letting the mind leak a little bit. |

How do we find the balance? Like a child who plays in the park, always running back for a hug of reassurance but then back to the sand. I just want my hugs to keep me playing in this world. No fun when the person who makes the world complete to you with a hug is not around. Addicted much? yeah...... |

| Pivots? |

It's always fun to look back on past events and wonder how your life would be different if events had played out in another fashion. I think back on many events and pivots in my life on a regular basis, but the one that effected me the most was the move.
When I was ten my family move to a bigger home. This was because my grandmother had recently passed away and my grandfather could not live alone. Yes they could of put him in a nursing home or something but I guess it did not fit right with my family. I was not happy with the move of course. No longer being able to see my friends on a regular basis was the largest complaint I had. Sure I had another 4 or so months to say goodbye while I finished up the school year but all in all I was not happy to see it all end.
He only lived with us a few years before he passed away but I'm pretty sure he was mostly gone as it was when he came to us. His mind had degraded so much that he did not know who we were half the time and had to be constantly reminded where he was and what was going on. One night before bed he told my dad to get a box ready, kind of symbolic I guess because that night he passed away in his sleep without anyone knowing. I was told the next morning of his passage but it never seemed to effect me. I feel a little callous saying this but to this day it does not make me at all sad thinking about his death. I barely knew the man as it was, I respected him I guess but by the time I was old enough to really understand what was going on in the world both him and my grandmother were mostly mentally gone so I never formed any true bond with them.
So as I was saying in my not so eloquent way of just writing, the biggest change in my life came from moving to my home in Tangelwood. Everything I know now, all my friends, my experiences thus far are due to my grandfather. And I thank him for this. Sure I wonder at times what it might of been like if I had never moved. If I had grown up going to Bedichek and Crocket. What kind of person I would be, who my friends would be and what my life goals would be. Would I mostly be the same person or would I be some asshole on the street selling drugs to get by? Exaggeration I know but anything is possible.
Its these pivotal moments in life that make me grateful I guess for what I have and who I know. This form of thought all came up monday night when I was out with Cathy and we got to talking about life changing events. The most recent one for her was last week on new years eve. The short side of the story goes if her father had not had to go to the ER for minor heart problems the day before she would of gone to Houston for New Years and we would not of meet and I would not be the happy person I currently am. Sure its likely I would of gotten more drunk at the New Years Eve party then I already was and gotten with the attractive but slightly whorish girl from work. But instead due to another mans heart problems I got to meet the girl I am infatuated with and who is equally enamored with me. And its just barely been a week.
Unfortunately a superstition has kind of grown up in my head due to past experiences. When ever I start to talk about a new female interest of mine with a close friend it always falls apart. But well hell this one has started different due to the close friend basically setting us up and her sneaking her number into my phone without me asking so hopefully it will go differently. I had only one major reservation to the whole thing from the start, this being our age difference (lets just say me being a little older). That quickly faded when I had a chance to sit down a few nights later and actually hold a sober conversation with her. I realized that age is certainly a state of mind and I know plenty of happy couples with years apart from each other. Hell look at my parents 6 years right there. So this is why I am in a great mood lately for those that have been asking.
So through a series of events in my life I have come to where I am and will continue to go. Every time I look back think about the friends I have and if it was not for them how my life would be different too. Due to my grandfather I moved and went to bailey. At Bailey I made friends who introduced me Bevyn. Through Bevyn I met Michael who was running an EB Games who because he knew me as Bevyn's friend hired me right away. At EB Games I met Matt who became a good friend who helped me get better jobs and who I was later lucky enough to be part of his marriage ceremony. I also met Anthony (aka AJ) at EB Games who later became a good friend to me and later became my roommate for a short period. He definitely introduced me to alot of new things in life such as ways of thinking, great books, interesting people, marijuana, etc. Through AJ I met his girlfriend of now a year and a half Jessica. And finally through Jessica this New Years Eve I met Catherine.
I guess what I'm trying to say is our networks, the people in our lives and the experiences they lead us to are what truly make us well us. But I'm sure being the uplifted people you are, you already knew this. So that is that. |

One of the best games Ive played this year. Such a good game Im already thinkin about playing it again. For everything that was packed into it I thought it was really well done. Sure there are points when you just blink and go ok.... anyway. But still I enjoyed the characters and their development, environment and how massive it was, story with all its twists and turns, music especially the end credits, controls were easy... once you got them down (slight learning curve). I'm no good at game reviews and its almost 5am. Anyway if I can play the game, you wont be disappointed. |

One of my favorite webcomics Looking For Group put out a "music video" of sorts. Maybe I a little twisted but I found it hillarious.

We never even kissed or looked into each others eyes. Our lips just trespassed on those inner labyrinths hidden deep within our ears. Filled them with the private music of wicked words, hers in many languages, mine in the off color of my only tongue... to bad dark languages rarely survive.
So well said. |
