So it's been a while since I made a post. Unusually long in fact. I have been rather caught up in the day to day of life. Nothing particularly bad has gone on recently, so I suppose that I have less to bitch about or something. Anyways, I feel like writing tonight so here I am.
Work has been going pretty well. I'm starting to really sharpen some of my skills which has let me find a nice little groove. My secret is that I just pretend that every single day is a game. That makes it a lot easier to deal with the daily grind of my job. It also makes for a hilarious perspective during every single call.
I have spent a lot of time working on getting Frankendude up and running. It's been a fun process, and when it runs it's fun. I'm still working out the final kinks in the system. It's been a slow process but I think I can figure the rest out from here. The real issue is that I don't think that it is going to have enough power to play the more hardcore games that I have. It's funny, right as I finish getting Frankendude up and running, I started researching my next build. I think my next build will be around $600.00 and I have a feeling she will be able to kick Frankendude's ass.
I've started tracking my calories (thanks to a bunch of prodding by Chey) and it's helped me to realize where the weakness in my diet lies. I think that if I can ever convince myself to get off my ass during the week that I will have a better time controlling my weight. Maybe it's time that I start taking advantage of workplace gym. It would present a good chance for me to catch up on my audio books.
There has been a lot more magic playing in my life lately. I think this is largely due to the frustration that I have experienced with building Frankendude. That's the nice thing about cards, they don't require a lot of troubleshooting, rarely do they have faulty parts, and generally speaking are much cheaper than computer parts. That can't be all though. I'm feeling the urge to dive in the MTG scene harder than ever before. Maybe it's because now I know more MTG players than I ever have before.
Anyways, I just wanted to let you all know that I hadn't forgotten you and haven't yet abandoned my blog. I've just been so caught up in life that I haven't taken the time to reflect much. This habit is a little too cathartic to drop completely. Peace out!

No reason at all
I don't really have a purpose in writing this post. I just feel like writing I suppose.
I've been doing some reading in the last few weeks, and I've been reading a really good book about the creation of Twitter. Twitter, my favorite social media service, was made by the same guy who wrote Blogger, the very site that hosts this blog. Not sure yet, but I might be developing a small man crush for Ev Williams. I'm not sure yet, we'll see how the book ends.
Work has been going fine. I have no real complaints. If I did have to complain, I suppose it would be that I feel like I haven't seen my friends in a long time again. This seems to be a trend with me where I see my friends all at once, and then, nothing, for like weeks on end. Hopefully with my new schedule this will change. At the very least, now that I will be on Dalton's team I should see a lot more of him.
I've been in a very creative mood lately. I really should channel this and find something positive to do with that energy. I mean, I guess this writing here qualifies, but I fell like I could do more. Maybe I should take up painting again. I don't know. Something. Maybe I could do some creative writing. That has always been something I have enjoyed, but I haven't done any in a long time. Maybe I should start a sub-blog and write about some of the stories that I have swimming in my head.
There has been a lot of walking this week. I have gone on several long walks with Chey, and they have been really enjoyable. I love the fresh air and I feel good after the walks. No hurting like after a run, just a nice all over burn in my body. This has been the excuse I have had to catch up on some of my audio books (read: Hatching Twitter). I think that I should start easing myself into some more intense exercising. By more intense, I mean yoga. I miss all of the stretching.
I have been doing a lot of gaming lately. What little I can anyways. I have been playing through Final Fantasy VI (also known as FF 3) and I have been making good progress in that. Tonight is the first night in a week that I haven't played. Not like I'm burnt out or anything, I just felt like a change tonight. I'm sure I will be back on it again tomorrow. This has been pretty good for me lately, but I have really been craving something more intense. I have been contemplating getting a PS3 lately. They make good media centers, I can play all sorts of great games on it (read: Metal Gear Solid IV), and I have been looking online, they are getting pretty cheap. Hell, I can pick one up now for less than I paid for the chromebook I'm typing on now. I don't know, we'll have to see. I need to pay off my car first. Being an adult sucks.
I think all of this is just an indication of how good I'm doing at my work. I'm getting good at my job, so I am learning at a slower pace. I'm learning at a slower pace so I'm getting bored. I'm getting bored, so I want to play and occupy my mind more often. It's extremely refreshing to have the time, money, and energy to devote to my favorite hobby, I just need to figure out which direction I want to take it in. I've also been thinking of building my next computer, and while this would be a much better investment and much more versatile than a console, it would also be much pricier. I just keep thinking that I need to find the cheapest way possible to entertain myself. I'm thinking that either a PS3 or a new handheld would be the best way to go about this. I just haven't made up my mind completely. I'm also feeling pressure to spend my money on other things, like savings, motorcycle classes, cooking classes, and a few other non-video game things. I don't know, hit me up on social media (read: Twitter) if you have an opinion.
Anyways, it's getting late. I have a lot to think about over the next couple of days as I make up my mind on how best to go about entertaining myself. Goodnight everyone.
