OK...I been slackin'...I'll admit it. I should really be posting more but I haven't been. I'll do better, honest...So...what's going on wit' me?
* Got an interview tomorrow. Won't give details because I don't wanna jinx it but I am excited for this position. I know I can do it...I just have to sell it to the two interviewers. I am doing a lot of research today to try and get ready. Wish me luck...
* Joined a new guild on WoW. Our old guild was basically leftovers from a previous guild on another server. The heart and soul of that guild had faded away to play Halflife or have babies...you know, usual stuff. Those of us that were left are a good group of capable players who take the game seriously but there was no nucleus...so it amounted to a group of friends with a common name "Consumed." So, Thor met up with some folks who seemed to have it goin' on. Unlike previous attempts to merge us where the advocate simply yammers on about how great the folks are, he actually got us in some raids with them. Now, you know I have long been one of the biggest holdouts against a merger but these folks took me through Naxx and basically made my gear happen...Last night, I got Epic and I really owe it to them. And, if you are reading this, you probably know that I take my debts seriously. I don't accept favors from friends without doing one in return; I don't talk a strippers ear off and fail to purchase a fair quantity of lap dances and I am sure as hell not going to gear up with group and not offer them the benefit of my skills and abilities, as meager as they may be. So, my objections faded away and without them, it ultimately happened. Anyway, we are called "Attack Fight Kill" and seem to have a decent group. Appropriate levels of dementia, smart enough that I can talk to them, strange enough that Nylus can feel comfortable and serious enough that Wingman can respect em as players...Should work out well...
* They let Mike out this morning. 4 am, he left kansas via car with his fiancee and two friends and they are driving the 19 hours back to VA. Probably doing this as I speak. Now, I have had to tone down my outrage over the past couple of years, as it is just too unpopular...but I think we, as a society, have grossly mistreated this man and I see it as a major injustice. I know that NO ONE agrees with me but I don't think he paid a debt to society...I think we owe him one. I sincerly hope that Roger Goodell makes the decision to give him a second chance and I hope he lands somewhere and gets back on a positive track. Puts all this behind him...He will forever be a pariah when he basically did nothing wrong and it just bugs the shit out of me. Just like making smoker stand out in the cold and making restaurants post their nutritional information...America is slowly losing its freedoms. Yeah yeah, I know I can go live someplace else (and you know I won't because we are still the best country in the world by far, which is why you said that) but America is in decline...clearly and obviously...and we just seem willing to accept it. We are losing our freedoms. Where does it end? Good Luck and God Bless, Mike. Keep your nose clean and you can overcome this persecution.
* The Giants are one game below .500. Last week, for a minute and a half (it seemd like) they were like 3 games above it...then the Mets came to town. (Screw you, Krolak! :) ) Still, considering the Dodgers are insane, even without Manny...#2 in the NL west ain't half bad. And this with no bat (Bengie Molina is batting clean up, for pete's sake!) It's early, I know but I am nervous...I would really like to seem them do well this year. Go Giants!
* Next week, I am going to have to take care of the baby alone for 3 days straight. (well, while the wife is at work). We are not going to be using daycare next week. I am nervous about this...she requires a lot of attention and I normally do not have the desire or patience to provide it. I hope it goes well...
Ok...that's it for now...I WILL post more. I promise. For now, I'll leave you with my new computer background...the first non-Tomb Raider/Lara Croft background I have had in more than 10 years...I call it..."The definition of conflict..." *sigh*
