"I Hope You Like Text"

It's a difficult thing, categorizing and picking favorites. A favorite book might seem easy, but there are so many different types of books, it seems unfair to put them all together. The same goes for music. I don't know many operas or musicals, but Phantom of the Opera is definitely my favorite. Is it my favorite music ever though? No. It's complicated! Likewise, I could probably say that that PA up there is my favorite. Is it my favorite...

And Gabe's dad is my entire family. I love them all, but Goddamn: It's not that hard! ;) ...

Identity crisis.

Tonight would have been made more prefect had I been recording the entirety of my conversation with Xandre. We discussed the difficulties of the nerd identity and our own personal identity crises. I believe crises is the plural of crisis. There are some rather big ones. I am exhausted and about to pass out so I'll keep this short, I just wanted to get a few words on here. My two years at Evergreen have given me a very severe identity crisis. Who am I, who do I want to be? I only just realized this sometime over the past two weeks. I'm a gamer, I love video games. If it comes down to it, video games are my preference and my love. I'd rather...

Memories.

Did you ever play Nintendogs? This is a pretty accurate portrayal of what it's like to play it. While I'm thinking about it, it's pronounced Nin-ten-dogs, NOT Nin-ten-do-dogs. GAH! It was the temporary bane of my existence when this game was launched to hear every freakin' customer come in and ask, "Do you have Nintendodogs in stock?" alsjdflasdflkjsdf ...

A quick note.

Last night I dreamed about a large spider, I blame this on WoW. Last night I dreamed about playing WoW, I blame this on WoW too. I've traversed the Whirwind caves and I am at about to approach Lugia. You know what my dumbass did? Failed to stock up on Ultra Balls. My Ampharos can get it down to barely any HP, in the red and paralyzed, but it proceeds to KO all of my Pokemon after that. I can barely throw enough Ultra Balls even if I had a sufficient...

Did someone say shiny?

Something magical happened to me today.  I'd like to paint you a picture, if you wouldn't mind. Flash back to two days ago when Kelly is visiting me. We gabbed all day about video games, World of Warcraft, Pokémon and Zelda. One particular conversation regarding Pokémon turned to the original starters of Red and Blue: Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur. No starters have compared since then, in my humble opinion. He agreed. The other starters...

This is very important.

A little bit on WoW, and talks with my cousin.

I really do intend on blogging about games other than WoW, it's just at the forefront of my mind right now! I made a friend! Today my cousin visited me from Spokane for a photo shoot. He just graduated college and will be moving  to New York and he needs professional photos for his musician's portfolio! I was happy to oblige. Plus, we haven't seen each other in years and I was totally down with hanging out with him! So he arrives late morning...

It Looks Delicious.

This is a good space to just rant and rave about Penny Arcade comics that I love. I've been spending my free internet time reading the Penny Arcade archives. They started their comic in November (I believe) of 1998. There's a lot of great material in there just waiting to be perused on a rainy day. Or in my case, when I'm bored or just in need of more comics. I'm pretty sure this is my favorite strip. It's just so hilarious. The expressions...

Wow... WoW!

Yes that's right, I am officially a World of Warcraft player. If we're being honest here, and I hope that we are, I've always wanted to play an MMO. I've wanted to be a part of that online community because I find it fascinating! I'm not talking about the 13 year olds who can't type and call everyone a fag, I mean the other people like me who have real lives and derive great enjoyment from video games! It's nice to meet new people, even if they...

Just an idea.

So I like a lot of things, and I like to share those things via words. I used to blog all the time via Livejournal, Melo and Myspace. Now that I'm firmly planted in Facebook for an interpersonal platform I have lost my space for random musings. I could easily journal on a real piece of paper, but I like to know that my thoughts can be viewed by others. Makes me feel nice. I have another blog, http://mjphotolife.blogspot.com but that's entirely devoted to my photography endeavors. Where oh where to put the rest of my life in internet journal form? This space right here. Really what I want to talk about is all the so-called geeky things that...
