Why such a long face?

OK so I hear a lot of things in my day to day life. People have issues with other people or things that make them lose their minds and be upset or angry. I sometimes get angry with my PC or a game of something if I am constantly making stupid mistakes. I then decide to break something and I feel better.

In the case of dealing with people I ask myself one powerful and KEY question that seems to always answer itself with a fun and interesting solution. Want to know that question? I bet you do. Bitty knows it I believe.

Now prepare yourself. The question is......

"What would Jaraxle do?"

Oh I know your lost. Who the Hell is that guy? your asking yourself. Well feel free to see the following link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarlaxle .

Now this is a fictional character your saying. So what. The writer has given him a personality that I certainly can admire if not emulate. A player of sorts, this person bends the wills of others to fit his own convoluted designs. And if it fails he always has a way to turn things around to his favor.

Which to me is very very entertaining to do. And it always puts a smile on my face and a giggle in my throat.

Humans amuse me so.

Long time no vent. Mostly because I don’t need to vent.

So we have had our ups this week and our downs. I wont get into it because last thing I need is to be reminded of the downs and my ups are still fresh in my memory /wink.

14 more days until Assassins Creed is in my Xbox and I don’t see daylight for the rest of the month.

Lady C has decided gravity is a figment of her imagination. I wonder if she even realizes that without gravity, cake wont rise or even become cake.

My birthday is coming up and I am not looking forward to that. 28 is a lot of years.

Oh and my question to you is this....How many licks does it take to finish a lifesaver lolli pop?... for me none. I tend to bite them.

Oh another question, Should we take out our frustrations on Stress pigs? I say yes that’s what they are there for.

In a world of choices, its the ones we do not make that define us.

I see the ways people interact and it makes me wonder if they are real. Are humans real? Is the person you see everyday, real? You can see them, feel them, smell them and hear them... but can you really be sure that they are real?

No I have not just watched the matrix I just notice that sometimes people do things that defy the world of logic.

Sometimes I wish I could change the minds of those around me. I wish I could stop time and make small changes, and then restart time so that everything works out as it should.

Don't you?

It is the choices we don't make that define us.

Ode to Life

Death, the last great adventure in this life. To leave the material body and rejoin the stream of life that fills this planet. Bringing with you all the adventures you had. Everyone is a story teller at heart and soul. When it comes time for you to join the stream and flow down to the eternal spring I hope that you bring with you stories of a life that you had, and I hope you share them with all those who have not had the time to do the things that you have done.

Only you can see through you eyes. What is blue to me may be red to you. I don't even know if your real, my perception tells me you are so there for you are. I will only truly know when I go to the stream and we join as one and share our life with all those that are there. The vast vault of eternal knowledge.

ALL life goes there, from the lowest cell to the most complex structure on this planet. We give the world life. We also choose our path, we choose to come back and experience what we want to, whether it be a bug for a day and get squashed or a human being, or a blade of grass.

When we gather all the information that we have set out to get, even if we don't realise we did it, we are returned to the stream. Even if we don't want to, or we think its not our time. When it comes down to the end of this life you will see the stream and feel the voices all around you, and you will know that what I am saying is true and you will feel the peace of belonging fill you, welcoming you. Your not alone. Everyone is there that you loved, hated, kissed, dreamed of, or never met. There is not good or bad, there is only the sharing of knowledge.

That is what I have see once. I thought I would share that with you as it is what keeps me alive and happy.

I hope you all who read this see what I have seen and learn all you can learn and experience all you can experience. I cant wait to hear your stories.

You are my sweetest downfall...

"You are my sweetest downfall.

I loved you first.

I loved you first.

Beneath the stars came falling on our hat.

But they're just old light, they're just old light.

Your hair was long when we first met"

/sigh... good song. Figure out your own meaning of those words.

Last night the brew and conversation flowed together and i quite enjoyed myself. Flames lost. Friggin slackers are making me look bad in an office of Vancouver/Edmonton fans.

In any case by the time I noticed it was 8:15pm and I had only 2 beers and was on my way home. Maeris is begging to do something with me but I cannot figure out what it is we can do. Games are becoming boring in that I am pwning them too quickly and if they don't have enough excitement I bore of them too fast. Perhaps I have a touch of ADD when it comes to that.

In any case we played a free MMO and I was bored of it rather fast. I preordered Assassins Creed which you can take a look at here(http://assassinscreed.uk.ubi.com/index.php) ensure you watch the video. Looks to be uber fun and they say 40 hours to finish... which is a good amount of game play, plus awesome replay.... but again they do not have some sort of coop. Or a way to link your friend in to help or compete against to get the "mark".


On a side note(you may notice I change tones and topics on the fly.... its the ADD), I was thinking about my childhood. Something I cannot remember much about. There was a time where I could be a kid... and then that was all blown away with divorce and other crap that parents share with their kids. I was thinking about how nostalgia is so important for us who cannot remember much about our childhood. How it is important to have those values that you had then in today's world. Money was not a problem for us... we did not even have the concept of paying bills or buying things... we just wanted things or if we did not have it we pretended we did. We searched for knowledge, "Mommy/daddy why is the sky blue?" because it was fun and new to us. I was thinking of how the world would be if we did not have these concepts of money or wealth or power in that respect. If we all had them ideals of a child what progress the world would make. Things like a space race would not even be a competition... we would all work together. Black, white, yellow, red, green, purple, or grey, it did not matter what you where back then. Religion was not something we saw as a way of life... it was more a way to imagine ...stories and tales for entertainment. /sigh When will the humans stop growing up and start growing down...

If I only know now what I knew back then.....

Sometimes its the story that sells not the hype.

After playing Halo 3 I came to the conclusion that story does sell. Now it took me 10 hours on legendary(its the highest difficulty setting) to finish this game and I must say that there is nothing special and new about this game. Even with the power of the next gen console its still not that great in terms of WoW factor(not related to World of Warcraft).

Why did I buy it, shelling out 70 bucks for it and it only took 10 hours... why you say did I not just rent it and go from there. Lemmie tell you. I support the story. I want games to immerse me in the world. I want to finish that for which I started years ago with Halo 1. I wanted to know what happened to Master Chief. I wanted to know who won the war. I wanted to know....

The same could be said for books or movies or any other form of entertainment that leaves you questioning what happens after you tune out.

I was not into the story of Halo 3 until the very end. It was fun but not really that great. But it did bring to an end a story I have followed for years now.

So that is why, simply put, I enjoyed playing Halo 3.

p.s. I also finished Medal of Honor: Airborne this weekend and I must say I am still unimpressed by the complete lack of thought in some of these "games". It was fun but Way tooo repetitive. Even if you could drop anywhere in the zone, you still killed an endless supply of Germans(which if I was Germany I would be making a public statement saying "Look I realise we fucked up and we are soo sorry for that but could you stop rubbing it in our faces with these crappy games. At least make us into a good game with the REAL feeling of the war.").

Ugg, Fog.../grumble

I is at work. Waiting for the fog to lift so I can get on a roof and survey a building. Did I forget to mention I work in an office?

"Its cool" I keep telling myself... "Should be interesting." Is that a lie? I dunno I'll find out in a couple of hours.

So I am reading about the up and coming games from our Edmontonian neighbors. You know those kind of neighbors that put a shrub in front of their shack and suddenly they have a better house than your whopping 10 story 100000 sq feet palace. Did I tell you I hate Edmonton and its populous?

bah I ran out of time. In anycase I'll finish my speal about bioware soon enough.

tbc..

If I ever catch you mother fuckers...

... I will cut off your balls and feed them to you. Who steals a truck anyways. You waste of skin.

Story goes, Andy started his truck and came inside to let it warm up... its a diesel you do these things. Some low life waste of air pos jumps in and drives off.

Now they have keys to everything in my house and I hope they come back to fill up because I hear that swords are worth more if they kill someone.

Ill do my part to save the planet... if it takes a single Calgarian 2.4 hectares to survive, I just saved more of the planet this year than green peace(actual land saved by green peace unknown so not a factual statement).

/sigh Catch em and cut off a hand. and then do that to their parents for not bringing them up right.

So u thnk yer so g8, eh?

So I downloaded the demo for Quake Wars off of steam the other day.... basically its a battlefield wannabe with some better grafix and weapons and... blah blah blah...

When are developers going to realise that they need content that is origional and umm... FUN. I took on a single player mission... defend some thing or another. I set the difficulty to Death and toaly pwned dat shit.

And then I load up Gears and get smacked. Fukin game. I seriously need to beat this one.

I also have this roll of leather here begging to be worked with. With this being a long weekend I will have plenty of time to.... oh wait I dont get a long weekend. I have to work on Saturday. Surveying. I seriously thought I was going to be past the grunt work by now but nooo. On the plus side this will be interesting.

I need to stop getting spazzed on by my superiors. While some offer the advice of speaking out... or even talking back, I find I look to my old friend, Jarlaxle, and find other more interesting things that I can do to obtain my goals. /sweeping bow.

Authority Rules

Welcome to the (first) post of the day. Today's topic "Authority Rules"

People in authority should have rules to follow just like everyone else. In fact their rules should be so strictly in forced that if they break one they lose a finger...or a testicle.... you pick.

I don't know exactly how those rules should be layed out because I am not in authority. A level of respect is necessary to have those that work under you perform. Unless your a dictator then fear of death is your motivator.

OK new gripe and new topic. Petroleum companies are the bane of my existence. Discuss.

TV is never wrong!

I must inform you of the vast over site of the television networks. In all the years that I have watched TV I have yet to see these people make such an obese mistake.

oh that reminded me of something....Obese plunder .....hee hee /snicker.

OK back to what I want to talk about.... what was it again? Oh right.... Corner gas is awesome! The best show on television.

Yet they are pimping Little mosque on the prairie. That vomitous show is just a vast rip off of the real good show that is Corner Gas.

Pimp the good shows you dumbasses. Not ripoffs of quality entertainment.

Who Thinks Video Games are a Waste of Time?

Ok I mean seriously, WTF!
I am running towards this pump house underground and I hide behind the rock I normally hide behind. So I am hiding, checking my gun for jams and ammo. I stand up to take a look. BAMN! Exploding arrow in the face. I am dead.

Restart.

I am running towards this pump house underground and I hide behind the rock I normally hide behind. So I am hiding, checking my gun for jams and ammo. I stand up to take a look. BAMN! Exploding arrow in the face. I am dead. F*&^% POS! Gey ass dic wad! etc.

Restart.

I guess by now your getting the picture of how I spent last night..... I rounded off the end by tossing my controller into my chair in rage and stormed off to eat something.

But Gears of War is a good game. Its just fuking hard on the hardest mode. The AI is fun to mess with though.

So the moral of this story is... take valium before you play Gears of War on extremely deadly mode.

To Round off the Day

Here are some pictures of my view at work. /pwnage Bitches

Music and the State of Mind

With the hustle and bustle of the C-Train I cannot help but to zone out of the world of man and find an inner peace through the music that blares out of my Ipod earphones. That is until I get jabbed in the back by someone trying to move, or the door opens crushing my arm.

Upon thinking closely as to why the arrangement of sounds helps me to become angry, lustful, lonely, powerful, savvy.... etc, I come to no conclusions only ideas.

Is it irresponsible of me to allow this to take over my existence? I don’t really care if it is or not. Basically if one can allow the mind to return from these realms of escape then why not let it control you for a while.

Now your asking yourself.... what am I talking about? Well let me relay an example. A boy gets hit in the face by the mirror on the C-Train while standing at the platform. He peaked out and the train was right there.... /smash. Now this was down the platform and I did not even notice. Mainly because I was listening to my music. I think it was opera at the time. I have a ton of training in first aid and safety yet did my not helping with the excuse I did not even know it was happening make a difference?

I think not. In some cases...stupidity determines the output of life. If you put stupid in you get stupid out. I feel this kid displayed much stupid and should have expected to get a smack in the face.

Me first Blogs...Joo know it baby!

Ok... Upon a recent dream I had this Blog post is dedicated to that which lives only in the head of creative people. See if you can guess what that is.

Dreams of hell

This dream is rather bazaar but defiantly worth talking about since I can actually remember it.

It starts off that I am on a catwalk and I am trying to get away from something. It turns out that this is a war of some type. I get off the catwalk and walk through/past some Asian prisoners. They are in rags being led to a place … like a long area. Some how my eyes leave my body and they fly to the end of the area. There is a huge double gun like that in battlefield for shooting down aircraft. Anyways the Asians are lined up and then shot with this gun that basically destroys them. My eyes return to my body and I continue moving along around this wall past more and more Asian prisoners being lead to their death. They look at their feet and are ready to die, as they have no will.

I round a corner and I see fighting rings. Lots of them. Each one with two combatants. I also see a lot of lost people. Sort of like people who did not belong there but where there for some reason. They where walking aimlessly. I ran into people I knew. People I hated. But I felt no hate. Then there was Richelle and I saw her being lead off to be shot. A demon was leading her off. The place turns red and molten. There are glass cases with bodies… people on racks and torn apart still alive. I grab a weapon. I don’t remember what it was. I attacked the demon and managed to free Richelle. We ran off and I was looking for a way out of there. I found a guy and he said the only way out was to fight and win a heart of an innocent. Or to take out the heart of a person and give it to them. I looked around but I could not bring myself to cut out someone’s heart. I decided to fight. The fight was brutal. And I managed to win. I grabbed the still beating heart out of the middle of the ring…. Which is where it was all this time… and I presented it to the man. I did not free Richelle though… I freed myself… I then appeared in the normal world where I entered this hell…. I then turned around and went right back into hell. This time I was free and able to stand tall and rescue Richelle. No demon had any power over me. That’s all I can remember at this time.
