Friends Are Fish

I have to know myself better than I ever believed possible in the last few years. I know my strengths but more importantly I know my weaknesses and I embrace both whole heartedly. I have come to know the value of true undying frindship that is beyond any measure. It is holding someone in your arms till they fall asleep and kissing their forhead, it is laughing at completely moronic things that are funny simply because the moment is right and you connect with each other. Its something that cannot defined with a value because it is far too precious. A friend is many things, they are your confidant, your strength, your one weakness, your moral compass and your guiding star, they are a fish who makes funny faces because your both tired but you need to laugh. This wont make any sense to most people and thats ok, it makes sense to me and its a memory that will edure forever.

Drama

Got up early and watched Repo: The Genetic Opera, love that movie sooo much. Why you might ask? Cause its really really dramatic and I love that in a movie. Its the same reason I like the Star Wars movies, they're bigger than life and extremely dramatic and thats very cool to me. I know a lot of people are always telling me they avoid all drama in their lives but I think they forget that the drama is desperately needed and you can get it without actually living it.

For the moment I'm happy with the relative lack of serious drama in my life. Taesha hasnt really talked to me in about 3 weeks or so and thats helped. Exes can really throw your life into chaos at times. This new girl is definately interesting to say the absolute least and I forsee very good things in the future. I was telling a friend this morning that life works one of two ways, you either go with the flow of the universe and have faith that fate will carry you on the stral winds to the places where you are meant to be OR you take hold of the planets and align them to alter the flow to your will. The problem with altering the flow of the astral winds is that you MUST be willing to follow through with the alterations, even if they have negative consequences. I alter the flow. It seems to be working for me.

I have a friend staying with me for a few days over the weekend so if I'm out of contact, my apologies. This weekend is the guilds Christmas party. For those of you not in the guild or game, I'm reffering to the World of Warcraft guild that I run. We're a family, we play together for social reasons, try not to let it get too serious, have fun and be there for each other. In some ways the game binds us, although I'm told that I am the binding glue for them.

I think I may have had too much acid for breakfast, just had a bunch of cut up pineapple and a couple glasses of orange juice and now my tongue stings a little. Oh well, I do love my fruits. Probably doesnt help that I probably have acid reflux too but havent checked with my doctor yet, should do that someday.

Got all of my Christmas shopping done early this year, kinda happy about that. Although i admit that holidays this year are things I just want to be over and done with. Every holiday serves to remind me that Grandma is gone and that it was beyond my control. But thats another story entirely I guess. Well I'm off to go watch Chicago, havent watched it in awhile and I'm feeling the music.

Another return

Man I just cant seem to post on a regular basis. Last post was in 2007? Wow, id try and recap whats been going on since then but.....well theres been so much. But chances are if your reading this then you know me and know a fair deal of what was going on, what is going on, and hell you probably know more than me about what may go on in the future.

So its winter, its been in the 20's and 30's here and thats not exactly normal. However we've had no snow, thats a good thing and a bad thing. I dont have to shovel snow from a driveway or worry about falling my ass down on ice but its still cold and I rather enjoy walks in the snow. But it does make me appreciate things like hot chili and hot chocolate.

So what does winter mean to you? Some cultures see winter as the ending of the year, an end to all things before the coming of the new. Others see it merely as the dormant side of nature as it gains its strength, waiting to unleash its spurt of growth and bring back the spark of life. I've always been a fan of the cold, a fan of winter. Some part of me sympathizes with the cold, feels a connection to it. But then its that same part of me that finds comfort in the darkness, the shadowy recesses of the world most people avoid. No I dont skulk about in dark alleys, this simply means that I prefer being in the dark as opposed to the light. As a small example I prefer Safeway to Wal-Mart for groceries not because of prices but because Safeways lighting is lower, less harsh whereas Wal-Mart uses a lot of bright lighting. I prefer to be up at night because its colder and darker and thats where I feel more comfortable. I do appreciate the light though, without the light we would never know the true essence of darkness, we would not have gold and orange sunsets over this most beautiful world.

So the one thing I will 'try' to avoid here is World of Warcraft talk, I have the guild website for that. To those that play, want to play or want to join us the site is http://www.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?PageName=Home&GuildID=252923&TabID=2126324.

I should probably avoid politics to some degree. I'm not an Oboma fanatic but I'm not an Oboma hater either. Guys only been in office a year, not even that actually. I wanna see any other person go in and have any degree of success greater in your first time as a junior senator. The only person I really really dont like is Sarah Palin, I know her job is'nt easy either but good heavly fuck, does she really have to be that much of a spazz nut job? All it takes is a filter for the craziness in the brain. I have nut job ideas too but I dont say them outloud and have no intention of carrying through with them. Just have a little goddamned control already.
There need to be more guys like Kennedy, it was sad he died this year. He did more than either of his two brothers, he was a fighter and one of the better men in politics.

On a last more pleasent note, I've not been playing a whole lot of WoW lately and havent had the inclination to in the middle of the night lately cause I've been talking to someone online at night that is really cool. Definately happy about that, not everyday you make a good connection with someone. Thats all I'll say about that for now, dont wanna jinx anything.

Goodnight my loyal subjects, I leave you now to rejoice at Lord Shawns return.
