AM

The last few days, I had been the host of a LAN party at our home. On Thursday morning I was awake for long enough to see that mornings in Riverside are absolutely stunning, and I had hitherto been blinded to this fact due to my own sleep schedule. This realization led me to make a decision last night that involved me staying up once again in order to sit on the porch and watch the morning ever-so-peacefully fall upon the porch.

I don't remember what time it was, but it couldn't have been much after 6am, and I left my computer (EVE has a daily downtime that starts at 6am CST) to go look outside, and luckily, I found the deep blue sky of a very-early morning. I sat down, and was instantly reminded of mornings camping, where very excitable and vocal birds awaken you long before you want to get up. This is where things got really interesting.

A little known fact about mornings is that after a little while, when things are starting to come to life, there is a sudden but subtle bit of wind that seems to be the separation point between night and day. I was sitting on the porch, in perfect stillness, when suddenly a light wind picked up and rustled all the trees to life. After this point, birds were flying and bugs were crawling and suddenly, the unholy screech of a train's horn shattered the perfection of the morning. I was so angry I wanted to scream. This guy wouldn't stop, he just kept blowing that horn. I have never wanted to shoot someone so bad in my life.

The moral of the story is, don't be a train conductor. I'll hurt you.

December [Radio Mix]

This song is the first song I've completed in quite some time. Well, I don't feel that it's completed, but it's the first song that has gotten past the "experimental" phase of development. It sounds really good in my headphones.

Anyways, I'm having my LAN tonight, and all who come will have fun. It's not so much of a guarantee as it is a universal truth.

So, be here, or be left by the side of the road with your Celeron, your PCI video card and your copy of Blake Stone.

Novocaine [Mark Otten Remix]

This song is pretty much exactly the perfect song for right now. I have no idea why. Maybe the imminent small storm has an effect on it, and maybe it's some deep-seeded feeling inside me that I cannot pinpoint. The latter is far more likely.

Sorry.

GTFU

Sorry.

Entertrapment.

What people do for fun simply amazes me. I'm not referring to strange habits and events that people have that are simply out of the ordinary; I'm referring to the lengths that people will go to in order to have a particular type of fun.

Tonight, I spent the better part of two hours attempting to log in to Battlefield 2, then downloading a patch, attempting to install said patch, finding out that I needed a different patch, downloading the updater, the updater telling me I didn't have the version I just installed, and downloading the final full patch (368mb). All that and I didn't even play. I just listened to music.

You see, certain situations are much more fruitful for fun. For example, if I want to play an immensely reliable, regularly updated game, I just play EVE. It's always working and always up to date. BF2 is a ton of fun, but the programming really sucks. Seriously DICE, just die (no pun intended, but it is awesome...).

Anyways, I'm going to go find old games to delete so that I can free up the space that the installer needs in order to update Battlesuck 2 to the current version so I can be pissed off trying to log in some more.

I should move to Grenada.

So, somehow, I need a new tire. No, I didn't blow it, no the tread wasn't low, and no I didn't abuse it. It just leaks air. But only when the TMW logo on the centercap is facing up. Weird.

I've been going to church on wednesday nights. Taking part in leadership activities, and helping the kids there. It's been pretty fun. I may have to keep doing so. I may even start playing soon. We'll see.

A while back I started a story. I forgot about it. I should probably continue that.
