Weather

Old Lady post here i come...

What's the deal with the weather, seriously. All the Al Gore jokes aside, what is going on.

It is June right, as i remember it used to be nice out in June. Maybe not crazy beach nice but I thought i remembered some 80s in past Junes. I don't think it has been above 80 yet, even the sunny days.

Speaking of the sunny days, does it always rain for 5 days a week during june, and even the 2 days it isn't raining it is only barely sunny. I am trying to grow plants out on my death trap of a porch. Some fancy things like Spinach, Lettuce, Snap Peas, and Tomatoes. Instead of healthy plants growing I have dirty buckets of water. I had to drill extra holes on the bottom just to get all the water out.

It may not be raining all the time but it always seems to be about to. Even the nice days have had that cloud that looked very precarious.

I don't like extremes. Heat over the 100s sucks, Winter sucks, but spring and fall are what temperatures I like the best but I haven't been able to enjoy any of it because it is raining. Maybe this is just New England and I should stop whining and move somewhere more temperate. I remember it being nice here before...

And don't even get me started on this Winter.

Bandwagon

So you hear about the Swine Flu?

I didn't either. I guess spending a weekend with your buddy and not watching TV or using the internet makes you disconnected from the world. Now that I am reconnected and learning about the news, I don't care.

Remember that big MRSA thing that was in the news a bit ago? How about SARS? or my personal favorite the Bubonic Plague?

Maybe that Bubonic one was important but still, news is flying around, and the internet already loves it. To be honest the internet loves any stupid thing that can blow up so this works well.

I do have one major concern about this issue. If the president has a press conference on Wednesday night and I miss Lost I am going to be pissed.

Aging (why I am a geek)

People have asked me before what my favorite video game is.

I know, you as a reader must have gone through the entire archive and saw how cool I was, you never would have guessed that I played video games.

I do. Or to be exact I used to play video games non-stop. Unfortunately, growing up and getting a job doesn't let me play as much as i would like.

Anyway back to the point, people have asked what my favorite video game is and without hesitation I answer, "Final Fantasy Seven".

I insist everyone play it. It isn't a waste of 80 hours of your life (but if you get good at the game and play through again it only takes about 40 hours).

You feel all the emotions and the time it takes to level up the players just makes you more attached to them. The ending of disc 1 will always haunt me, and the twists and turns that you go through fighting with the group just make every moment amazing. I love that game.

So I have it on PSone. I actually have it on PSone twice, I let someone borrow my original print and it came back scratched and unplayable. So I re-bought the greatest hits version.

Out of curiosity I checked the price on ebay... $129 for the original copy and $52 for the greatest hits.

I think it is time to start another round of FFVII.

Bringing it back

I think it has something to do with the nice weather.

Maybe, or that I am bored, but it's time to make this blog what I wanted.

A place to write things down and get some stuff out in the open. Never big important stuff just things that pass through the mind. Things that make me think.

This blog isn't for you... anonymous reader, obviously you are welcome to read and enjoy (it is on the world wide web) but know that I don't care to entertain you on purpose. This isn't a narrative that will leave you clutching on the end of your seat hoping to know how my insignificant life is going.

This is my stuff.

Now we have cleared that up and you are still reading this, let me talk about something.

I go to Stop and Shop almost every day. Shopping for me is only by necessity. Today i need more oatmeal so I go and get oatmeal. Yesterday it was yogurt and bananas. I end up there about every day.

When you go places everyday workers start to notice you. I see him so I am obligated to at least give the recognition nod. It makes me uncomfortable. People seeing me so much that they should be forced to show it makes me uncomfortable.

Is it ego-centric to think that they talk about me? I mean, they see me enough, sometimes in a shirt and tie and sometimes in after gym sweaty clothes. EVERYDAY. with my ipod on and walking around getting the same stuff. I would talk about me. I don't like that.

I don't think I am a hermit. I talk to people, I have friends, I go places, BUT in daily life I would prefer not to. If I am buying some eggs I don't want to be seen. If it wasn't for the self check out, I wouldn't eat.

That is what's on my mind today.

No New Thoughts

I was thinking about this when I was driving home from work yesterday. I don't have any new thoughts.

Obviously this is a contradiction because that would be a new thought but what I mean is I haven't had a new thought worth having in a while.

It turns out that most of the time what I am thinking about isn't important or fun.

What should I have for dinner tonight? How can I get more money? Boy this ass in front of me is driving slow. I hope Lost is a good episode. I wish I wasn't working right now. When will this day end?

I remember liking my thoughts and having fun new thoughts. This working has killed my brain.

I should use times I am not working just to think of stuff, not play on the internet. Maybe that would help.

Been a While

It seems this poor site has been neglected, but I have made some changes that are just easier to keep up with. On the right is my Friend Feed that keeps up with my twitter feed that is so much easier to upload to than this site.

Rumor has it that the new iPhone 3.0 build will have MMS, maybe then I will post the picks of my adventures here again...
