HNT- Gamer For Life

So seeing as though the calendar gods decided to put the V day on a Tuesday, so Peaches and I decided to exchange presents on Friday instead.

So for my HNT post I'm flashing one of the presents I got, it's all about the gaming.



If you don't get this, then you're just not a gamer.

(btw, The gargoyle on the right was what I gave peaches)

Harmony And Beauty

Originally uploaded by Protagonist.

Our lives consist of chaos, a maelstrom of events that swirl about us, spinning us out of control.

The complaints always seem to ring louder than the compliments. There are times when it seems that the chorus only carries discouragement in its baritone chords. The cacophonous clatter becomes nearly deafening and we no longer hear the sounds that make the whole thing worthwhile.

The laughter of friends,
Subtle congratulations of superiors,
Your lover’s moan.

These are the sounds that make sense of the symphony, moments of joys moving in beautiful harmony. And they are exquisite as they are rare.

Musing Of The unemployed

While watching a home gym info-mercial:
Exile- Hmmmm...
Amber- what?
Exile- well, look at this guy on TV, he's fully ripped.
Amber- I noticed
exile-but that's just it, he had to work damn hard to get that way, and now, he has to keep working every day to keep himself in that shape.
amber- this is true
exile- meanwhile I don't have to do shit to keep the shape I'm in... I like my way better

While watching some random talk show:
Amber- hey, check out this fat guy on TV.
exile- do you realize how much effort it must take to get that fat?
amber- yeah, and who supports him?
exile- that's what I'm thinking, I mean, to get that fat you have to just lay in bed and eat tons of food. Not only that, but someone has to feed his gargantuan ass.
amber- you've put too much thought into this
exile- I know, but are you curious? I mean, food ain't cheap, so who's paying to shovel gravy down his enormous gullet.
amber- maybe he's on disability
exile- well that's not fair
amber- who said it was?
exile- shit

While watching a some other show about cheating spouses:
amber- I love watching these
exile- why?
amber- because these people so get what they deserve
exile- meh
amber- well what would you do if you found your chick cheating on you.
exile- did I catch them together?
amber- sure
exile- I'd tell the guy "you better leave, or this is going to be a double homicide"
amber- *distracted by the show* here's the best part, the confrontation
exile- this is what I don't' get, why do they always go after who their wife is cheating with? That's guys just out getting some.
amber- I know, I'd deck her
exile- sometimes you just gotta smack a bitch

while amber is playing her game "Diner Dash":
exile- I hate you
amber- no you don't, you wuv me
exile- not anymore
amber- why's that?
exile- because of that fucking game you've been playing
amber- admit it, you like it
exile- it's the plague.
amber- so you wanna play?
exile- no. Look, when you showed me the game I thought "oh how cute, a game where you wait tables" and now I'm seeing the damn thing when I sleep. This isn't cool. I tell people about it and they want to play. It's an epidemic
amber- *laughs at me*
exile- it's not funny. I'm over here, playing Frozen Throne (War Craft III), this game is state of the art, it's got graphics, and strategy up the wa-zoo. And I'm thinking about waiting tables.
amber- I told you that you'd like it
exile- you don't' get it, I have, at my command, legions of undead solders that are marching through the streets consuming the living and cannibalizing the dead.
amber- so you wanna play?
exile- no.
amber- are you going to play?
exile- *reluctantly* yes... and I still hate you.

Reflections Of Love

Originally uploaded by **Aba**.

As lovers, our bodies entwine and lips lock in the most intimate of embraces. In those moments, we feel the passion first hand, but we do not treasure it until it passes.

We treat those fleeting second like a sweet hard candy for the mind, locking on to the memory, savoring every bit. The memory will be unfurled for weeks, often months later. It will come into play during both times of joy to extend elation, and times of sorrow, to remember what joy felt like.

Memories are often the only tangible thoughts that we will have, souvenirs from the best moments of our lives.

On a long enough timeline, everything comes to an end. And while we may never have back the moments we’ve lost, the memories survive as reflections in our mind. While many of us find our selves imprisoned by the menagerie of moments the reflections create, we all must use these reflections to inspire us. After all, while memories may be precious and comforting, making new ones is a lot more fun.

Exile In Exile?

Everyone has asked where the hell I've been, so allow me to recap.

the County of Orange decided that it only wants it's employees to work between 6:30 am and 6:30 pm. Coinciding with their infinite wisdom they decided that all employees must work 5 days a week. The conflict between my commute, my schedule, and the idiocity of the County has resulted in leaving me delightfully unemployed. So now I'm going back on the market to find a job.



so here's the break down of what I've been doing~

Job Search: so far I've contacted the employment agency, and they're all over it. I've posted my resume on craig's list, and I've found two prospects for writing related jobs (that I should be responding to instead of posting).

Condo Life: I've called in maintenance and worked with them to make all the repairs necessary on the condo it's self. I've also been cleaning like a mad man, from the ol' dust & vacuum to scrubbing out the shower (and it needed it... Germs the size of turtles.)

Funds: In parting with the county I will be paid out for all my sick time and comp time, this means that I have an entire paycheck coming in, without work. Seeing as though my expenses have been cut on fuel it stands to reason that I can coast like this for while. With rent from my roommate and so on I should have enough time to find a job I will enjoy and that will be closer to my career (as opposed to just getting a job for a paycheck).

Internet Use: Unfortunately without an office to abuse for the internet, this means that I have very limited access to the internet. Actually, it wasn't until last night that I found I could grab a signal in my complex. So I have some limited access (so much porn, so little time.)

Girlfriend Stuff: I have to say that everything is going absolutely great, we're retarded for each other. I worked as her SAG (Support And Gear) for the 1/2 marathon, and, oh yeah, she took 3rd place in her age/sex division. Fuck yeah! For those not in the "know" this means she ran 13.1 miles in under 2 hours 11 min. I was playing pack mule for her by toting all her gear in my backpack. It's an incredible thing to see the woman you love doing the thing she loves. Tomorrow we're going to the long beach coin convention... Like I said, seeing the woman you love doing the thing she loves.

I think that pretty much sums up everything up until now. I'll try to be a little more attentive to my little internet pets.

speaking of my little pets, the news on the Herb front is good. I fed him a rat the size of a football last night so he's quite happy. Which is good, because if he gets too hungry he might just try and eat my Peaches.
