What a long strange... Game this has been.

0
My sleeping pattern is all fucked up again. I think I will try again in vain to try and stay up until midnight tonight. It probably won't work.

The intention for today was to get out of the house and do something productive. But then, at the moment I don't really have the money to be going out and spending money.

I tried to start reading the next book in the Wheel of Time series that I'm up to, the 8th one I believe, but the beginnings of the books are always the toughest. The pace is so slow compared to the end of the last book that it's sort of off putting. But I will struggle this one out. Maybe try and do some more reading today.

I stayed up til about 1pm today just reading and chilling and then the start of the Wheel of Time book did what it always does to me and put me to sleep. So I woke up at dinner time and regretted wasting the day.

I spent the rest of the night playing World of Warcraft. I didn't want to continue reading and I wanted to see if my brother was online. He fits in well with the guild. I hope he stays, because I really don't get to see enough of him.

Which reminds me, he went and did a course to be one of those lollipop men. You know, the ones that go out on the road with a stop sign so the kids can cross the road. It's really bizarre, I can't see where the motivation for that even came from.

So we went around in a group with a few friends and decided to see if we could do a bunch of the old game content with less than half the people we needed to do them in the old days. It took nearly all night, but in reality we did so much more than humanly possible in the old days even though we gimped ourselves.

It got me thinking about how much time that I've actually wasted in this game. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy playing the game... It's just that in the end, if you tallied the amount of time I've spent in this game versus the time spent doing the shit I do... It's been a lot of time that I could have spent getting fit, or curing cancer or something important... but fuck that shit.

Ok... so I play the Game every now and then, and I'm no where near the player that some of the people I play with are. I don't spend nearly as much time playing the game that anyone I know who plays play. But that said, I have managed to rack up nearly 49 days worth of played time. And this is my second account. I've had this one 3 of the 5 years I've owned this game.

I came across the game in highschool, Mark Hancock and Tim used to talk about it for a long time and I really wanted to get into it. But I had a girlfriend at the time and she had better ways at distracting me than video games did.

When I finally decided to get into the game I shared an account with my brother. A horrible idea in the end if I ever wanted to end up playing but at least Garry got enjoyment out of it. In Vanilla WoW I didn't really progress as far as others but I enjoyed leveling a Tauren Warrior.

Then the new expansion came out and I decided to buy myself an account and give my brother the old one. In this expansion I decided on playing a Blood Elf Warlock.

I liked this character better. It was an easier way for me to play the game and get me into it considering that I was not that good at the game back then. I didn't really make it into the end content of the game, but it's the first time that I discovered that there was actually a huge social aspect to the game. It's really kind of weird.

I've seen a lot of friendships grow and drama splatter all over the place. It really is like a weird social experiment.

Nowadays though, through the last two expansions, I have racked up those 49 days on this character.His name is Mcwazzington. He's an Orc Warlock. I'm finally at the endgame stage of the game with most people in the group of friends that I play with. So I'm going to try to level up a second character that I can play alongside this one. We shall see if I can get this new guy up there.

Well I just thought I'd let you guys in on one of things I do in my spare time. It's pretty damn geeky, but I find enjoyment in it. I think I might try multiple posts in a day/ sporadic posts in a week thing for this blog. In case I wanted to try righting some reviews of things I've consumed (food/books/movies/tv) and then just stuff I've done with my time.

I want to make sure that I'm writing, not well, but at least putting something down. So I don't get stuck as I usually do.

- Trying some stuff... then again, this is my spot on the web... I'll do what I want XD.

Once you Pop, You can't stop... You must continue until you die of Pringlitis

1
I've tried to blog a few times over the past few days. But OMG! I don't have the energy for this shit. I'm sure if I just write for a bit I'll just eventually end up filling a page.

I went out with Lynda on Wednesday to go and see a movie called "Morning Glory".



It is a chick flick. BIG TIME CHICK FLICK! But on the other hand "GET OFF MY PLANE!!!" Harrison Ford is awesome. It's hard to fault him for me. I grew up watching and re-watching those Indiana Jones movies.

It kinda reminded me of Top Gun, in that after anything happened in the movie, anything at all, some uplifting girly song would start playing. I didn't mind the movie though and I enjoyed myself. Also. Racheal Mcadams ass in this movie... amazing.

Now that that thought is out of the way...

Friday at work! Seriously. Some of the shit that happens at that place is just bizarre. I have found 3 Adult diapers so far. 3!!! And Friday, I found someones underwear on one of the lounges inside the club!

Also, we have to practice our Responsible Service of alcohol, but what happens when the people getting too shitfaced happen to be the Board of Directors of the rsl? Or in this case probably... Well there definitely up in the top in terms of running the club.

We might get into serious trouble if we got busted but if the bar staff do anything they'll lose their jobs. It's definitely interesting to watch. Especially seeing one of their wives leaving the club with her pants down at her ankles and everybody looking away, too afraid to do anything in case they get fired... except for me... I was busy laughing myself into tears.

Saturday I was working the door. The worst part about customer service jobs is that we have to be polite to these fuckwits. They all know the rules of the club, and yet whenever I ask them to show there cards, they get all pissed off at me. I don't care if they've been members for a thousand years. I need to fucking check their cards. I was told it's a $220 fine if they get caught in the club without it.

Trying to find a way to be firm and still tell them that they need to shut the fuck up and die without losing my job is still in planning stages.

But after work last night I went over Nat's place. But I got there too early and ended up playing pool with her parents for a while, which is funny because they don't speak English. I won the first one because I was on her dad's team and he looked disappointed in losing to the other guy that, according to Natalie, spoke Vietnamese like a Chinese guy.

And then because I didn't want to piss her mum off I lost the second game. Although that was helped along by the fact that Nat's mum started sinking a lot of balls really quickly. And then I didn't know what to do in the last game except try to keep it going for as long as I could until Natalie said I should be more afraid of her dad If I lose... So I won that game.

Albert got soooooooooooooo drunk. He's hilarious when he is drunk. And I got sick from Tommy's. And we played Monopoly Deal!It's a Monopoly card game. I love this game, even though I hardly ever win lol.

Now that wasn't so hard was it.

- There is no losing. Only delayed victory!

A Train Leaving Grand Central Station, heading east, traveling at 60km/hr...

0
... It hits you in the face and you DIE!!!

Didn't do much yesterday, and yet, I still didn't manage to find the time to blog about it.

I did try to continue my streak of waking up early. Because when uni goes back I don't want to miss any of my lectures because I'm struggling with my Insomnia. I went to bed at a about 2am and woke up at 9am. BOOYAH! That was the sound in my head I meant to make. In reality it came out as a mumbly "bluragoobsh".

Only after getting up and walking around the still dead to the world house did I realize I had nothing planned to do this early in the morning. So I reset my alarm and kept beating the crap out of it til about 11am.

Then I set to work on finishing the Wheel of Time book 7!

They are really very good fantasy books, but sometimes they ramble on and on about stuff I don't care about. I finished the book though and got to work starting book 8.


I also went with Tim to Stocklands and ate myself some tasty schnitzel! Actually it was just average. I don't even like it that much, but it seems that everywhere I go I order the same thing. I just don't want to be dissapointed when I pay for a meal that I didn't particularly like. It's stupid and I need to break the habit.

Oh and we saw the movie Unstoppable.

OMG! OMG! DENZEL!!! OMG IT'S DENZEL!!!!

LOL! The movie was alright. But now I watch everything with the expectation that there is some big twist ending.

You know what would have made this movie better...
SPOILERS!!!!

If the train was actually unstoppable. That would have made my day! The train would have crashed and then caused all this damage, and then they would have been like:

"Shit! Looks like we couldn't stop the train after all. Fuck! That sucks dog balls! There's gonna be a shit ton o' mutha fuckers that are gonna lose their jobs now. Fuck. It's just after all that suspense music that seemed to play in the air I thought for sure we were going to stop that train"

And I would have laughed the entire way home. Sigh at what could have been.

Well that's all for now.

- The Train that was Pretty Hard to Stop and we Thought for Sure it was going to cause millions of Dollars Worth of Damage, but Luckily we Stopped it. That movie title probably gives too much of the plot away.

In the future everything will be instant, but the RTA will still take 9 fucking seconds!

1
Look! I'm doing it! I'm keeping my word so far and blogging more! We shall see how long this lasts.

I woke up early this morning. I was going to go down and buy the DC Universe game. But then I checked the dates and it might not be out for the next couple of days.

I WANT TO BE A SUPERHERO AND/OR SUPERVILLIAN!!! I WANT SUPERPOWERS! WHY NOT MEEEEEE!!!!

So this morning to pass the time while I was awake I read some of the wheel of time book 7. The women in that book are so bossy and the dudes are all clueless.

But I'm up to the part where all the interesting shit is happening all a once so I'm good.

Also I got my P's! My green P's




It wasted all that extra time I had not sleeping. First I drove to wetherill park only to find that it had been turned into a supre'! What the fuck? Tim is supposed to be doing his P's test there this month.

So I ended up driving to Fairfield, looking for a parking spot for half an hour. Then waited an hour for my ticket to be called at the RTA so I could pay $38 to wait another hour to do my test then just as I let myself get happy that I passed the test they make me pay $78 for passing.

The RTA sucks dog balls!!!

Well now that I'm done with the rant...


- a little bit of a rant, but what are blogs for?

The story so far...

1
Ok so I haven't blogged in a while and I figure it's just because I'm a lazy son of a bitch! Well that changes now!

I got an app on y iPhone that lets me submit blog posts! I win!

Now the last time I blogged was at the beginning of November. A lot of shit has happened since then.

In November I was supposed to spend the month writing a 50,000 word short novel. This did not happen. Inspiration was just so hard to come by and the most I got down was about 1000 words before I was like " this is shit!" and went on to the next thing.

December came and went and with it so did christmas and new years and my brothers birthday. I still need to get my brother a birthday present but I sent myself broke buying all the christmas presents that I did. New years was heaps of fun too but I was working most of the night and drinking the rest. Good times and great people to spend time with was the main theme of December.

Now it is 9 days into January. Most of my time has been spent working. Other than that I've been adjusting to not being able to have energy drinks and weening myself of fast food. Part of the whole new years resolution. So far so good. But another part of my new years resolution is that I want to update twitter more often and write blogs more often. Fuck facebook. I can use that to check what other people are doing occasionally. And read replies to my tweets XD!

I saw gullivers travels with my brother and my dad this week too. It was really lame but altogether fun. I enjoyed it a lot. Oh and the Tourist! I loved that movie!

SPOILERS!!!!
great twist ending!

Also did something I've wanted to do for ages! YUM CHA!

It was supposed to be me tim and beth but it ended up being me Tim nat Dave Joseph and tara! It was delicious!
















And we ended the day in a big hug because I don't get to see them too often. Well Tara and Joseph that is...



And that is the story right about til now. I'm at work at the moment and I reckon that this is as good a place as any to end the first of I'm hoping many 2011 blogs!
