Site Moved!
Hey all. This was a first attempt at a blog, and I found I liked it, so I got myself some hosting and a domain name. The site’s name has changed to Darkened Eyes, and it can be found at http://www.darkenedeyes.com so anyone who actually reads this should go there instead for my latest updates. This will probably be the last post I put on this site, but I will leave it up in case I need anything from here or someone stumbles across this while trying to get to the other site.
Peace all, and I’ll see you at Darkened Eyes!
To an end we all shall return…
I’m seriously considering throwing in the towel on finding myself another girlfriend. A few of the reasons are completely practical, though some of them are slightly strange. First, I have very little time to myself the way it is, and having someone else to fawn over is something that would seriously eat into my internet/gaming time. Second, I can’t stand vapid girls. Sure, they may look good, but when you are having a conversation with something that has the IQ of a can of compressed air it gets real old, real quick.
Third, all the girls I seem to be attracted to are already with someone. It’s a curse I can’t get over anymore, apparently. In the last 3 months I’ve met at least 3 girls that I would kill to be with, who already have boyfriends, and I can’t afford to bury the bodies and pay for therapy. Fourth, I’m nearing that point where I just don’t care anymore. I’m alone, I get it, I’m so used to it that having someone there for me/with me would be so different from my normal routine that I don’t know what I’d do, honestly.
But enough about that, on to the good stuff!
A friend of mine and his friends have set up a new podcast (I’m thinking that they did so just because they could), you can check it out here: http://www.growingupgeek.net
I’ve been playing Lost Odyssey on the Xbox 360, and my gods above is this game beautiful. Incredible scenery, amazing characters, exquisite detailing, and terrific voice acting. I haven’t found one bad thing about this game yet. I seriously recommend it to any Xbox owning RPG fan.
I’m trying to figure out what to do with my life. I’m not really content sitting at “home” in my parents’ house, working a retail job selling computers to stupid and/or ignorant people, and not going anywhere. I really can’t afford to change any of that though. I don’t have a degree or any certifications yet, and I can’t afford (nor do I have any inclination towards) going back to school, paying for said certifications, or really even just living on my own again. I’d have to find someone to have live with me, and that is just something that I really don’t feel like being dicked over on again.
Although, if I could end up living with a hot single geek girl who had no problem with a ‘no pants when noone else is here’ rule, I would snap that up in an instant….
I’m signing off before my mind wanders into places it shouldn’t go this late at night.
And I ride on the breath of the cold wind…
Wow. It is white beyond white outside. I really think I am gonna call off work tomorrow, especially if this shit turns to ice. I am NOT risking myself getting to the Blue Box because they think that “Oh, it’s not THAT bad, the highways are fine and I came from Allentown” like they gave me last time. Screw that. Have you yackoffs in manglement SEEN the side roads? Plows are doing no good here. If I left I’d slide all the way down the hill I live on.
Now, the only problem with this is one thing: Lost Odyssey launched today, and I didn’t know about it. I want this game badly enough that I’m seriously contemplating driving in the snow up to WalMart to pick up a copy before the snow itself melts and becomes an icy wasteland for cars. I really need a life or something, you think?
Anyway, I’ll post here tomorrow as well as on Twitter with my status of work or non-work, as well as what I plan to do with the day if I don’t go. Which will most likely happen.
Peace out, y’all.
Take me away…
Ok. I know this is corny, but I have to do it or else I’ll end up snapping and killing someone. Probably online, in a video game, but still.
GET ME OUTTA HERE!
I’m serious. I’m stuck in what seems to be a dead-end job at a retail store. I have no degree because I have immense difficulty in classroom situations (being a hands-on learner, combined with the 2 facts of Fellow Student Idiots and Idiotic Required Courses [why any sort of public speaking course should be mandatory for any sort of technical field is beyond me]), I have no certifications because of lack of funds from working said dead-end job, and I’m not really into the whole ‘the customer is always right’ craze, because most of the time, they’re not. Customers, by general definition (not specific people, but customers as a whole), are idiots. They don’t KNOW what they want or need, and that’s why we’re here. Then they say “Well, that’s too expensive, so I’ll get $crap_that_won’t_do_anything_I_want instead.” Then they come back complaining that it, gasp, didn’t do what they want.
Unfortunately, the only real things I’m decent at are computer repair/support, and webdesign (and even that one is sorely lacking in both content and practice lately), and there’s no market in this area really for someone who doesn’t have some sort of corporate backing. Plus if I got caught, I’d get fired, which would make things hella worse.
So I appeal to nobody, everybody, and even the great and powerful Anonymous. Just to make myself heard, you know.
