The summer is just starting to hit pretty hard and I find myself to be miserably over heated most of the time. Maybe I just need more fans. An AC would be amazing but maybe that’s just wishful thinking. And I don’t know if I could handle the bills from running it 24/7 like I probably would if I owned one. I’ve always been a big fan of coldness. People say, “You can always put more clothes on if you’re cold but you can’t always take more off.” I thoroughly believe this. Give me a 10 degree wind chill and a couple of blankets and I’ll feel great. I feel like I can’t think properly when I’m hot, but in the cold, my mind feels fully aware. Maybe that’s just me, I don’t know.

Anyhow, I hope to write on this more often, maybe even once a day from now on. I always felt more free and happy about life and things in general when I did. Plus, my mind is like a bingo cage of ideas, so I doubt it’ll take much for me to find a topic worthy of my attention. Hope everyone else has had a good year and I’ll talk to you guys later. Now, back to my ceaseless misery in the heat.

Hey. I’ll give you my reasoning for the pic on this post in a little bit. Today was pretty boring… I picked up a copy of “Psychology Today” cause the cover had some interesting article titles and it turned out that it actually had ALOT of very intriguing things inside and i’m workin on a post for an idea that it gave me.

In other news, as previously mentioned I was bored today so I decided to get laundry and groceries all done in one day! I was SO bored in fact that I went to a local church “rummage sale” as they called it. I got a couple books and some other stuff. The total came to $1.95. It was sooo cheap that i felt bad and just gave em 5 bucks for it all. Good cause I say. Anyhow while I was there I bought a red kerosene lantern pictured above. It only cost me 50 cents. I didn’t have a reason for buying it when I did but I did come up with one! I decided to start an “Apocalypse and or Zombie Survival Kit” for laughs.  I did a google search for it and came up with some average results. It was mostly things like guns, food, water, ammo, and something to carry it all in like a backpack. I’m interested in what you guys would come up with besides all the things i’ve mentioned. I wanna come up with a good list. Send me your thoughts in whatever way you’d like.

Anyhow, it’s gettin pretty late and I am damn tired so i’m gonna head off to bed. Talk to you guys later.

Hey people. Let’s talk about me. I like doin’ that.It seems I discover more about myself every day. In my first ever blog post I talked about how much I hated the fact that I always wait until the last minute to write papers. Well, not surprisingly, I did it yet again. I had a 3 page paper due at noon today and i finished it at near 7 in the morning… What makes me constantly keep doing this? I am so tired riht now I can’t even think straight. I did a great job on it but that’s beside the point. Maybe I will just never learn. Oh well. I’m working up a blog post about the Fairfield Hills abandoned insane asylum still. That’s about all that’s keepin me awake.

My friend Jeremy bought me Half Life 2: Episode 1, so i’ve been working on beating Half Life 2 so I can play it. For some reason HL is like a flash in the pan joy for me. Like I would never deny the fact that it’s a great game series, but sometimes I get bored of it. It’s parts throughout the game that do it. It’s kinda like a movie that has some action, then some dialog, then some action. Well, all the dialog kills me. Most times when I play an FPS I want a mindless fragfest. That’s what I love Left 4 Dead for so much. I can log in, shoot some zombies faces off, complete levels with minimal coordination if I want, and just have all around fun. Maybe HL is just a little too high brow of a shooter for me at times.

Politically my mind has been changed recently. I decided to go from being a Democrat to an Independent. It mostly came about as part of a long seeded lack of trust in both parties. It always seemed to me to be more about party politics than actually ever getting anything done. It’s like a big my dick is bigger than your dick war in Washington all the time. And at the end of the day, both sides end up just looking stupid and incompetent, and do nothing for the American people. I’m tired of all the bickering on both sides and never seeing any real action, it’s all just plans. We can use trillions of dollars on a war, whether you agree with it or not, and I don’t, but we can’t spend money where it counts because then that gets called out and trashed. Whatever happened to helping the homeless get jobs, or affordable housing for those in need? Don’t even get me started on the educational system in this country. That’s probably most of the reason we have this mess of a system right now. It breeds stupidity and ignorance, neither of which can ever lead to anything good.

There’s my rant for the day. Later.

For my Anthropology final exam (which is take home) I had to find a painting or piece of drawn art and go into detail about it and what it means for culture. I decided to use this painting done in Paint Shop Pro 9. It is such a beautiful piece of work. It’s cool to think how the internet and computers can facilitate artists around the world to make creations like this one. I especially like it because when I used to play a lot of online shooters my name was always Dark Pheonix.

Not much else to say at the moment. Just thought I would share that art with you. I’m a little busy today with a paper comparing Oedipus the King and The Darker Face of the Earth. Only 3 pages so I may have time to write something else that’s funny or cool. I’ve been meaning to make a post on Fairfield Hills which is an abandoned insane asylum in Newtown, CT. But I may just do whatever strikes my mood. Later.

I felt the need to explain to my audience of zero why I haven’t posted in a few days and at the same time show something cool in the mean time. The spring 09 semester of school is winding down which means that I constantly have lots of work and papers to do. And we all know how much I love those. But that has to take priority over my blog even though I do love writing here. It doesn’t matter to me at all if people read it or feel the same way i do about any topic I cover. It’s about improving my writing skills and expressing myself for me. It makes me feel somewhat better to write a silly little article about something.

The image above is a tattoo that im getting on my arm next month for my birthday. It is a Yin & Yang version of an angel. It has both demonic and angelic traits. People who know me well know that i’m not the biggest fan of organized religion as a whole. It’s not god that bothers me, just the people who preach it. But that is one awesome looking angel that I think I could look at in 40 years and be happy with. I’m also going to get a tattoo of a line from a song on the other arm. Any ideas for the song lyric don’t hesitate to tell me. I still have yet to figure out what it’s going to be. It’s not easy for me to think of something to put on myself that’s PERMANENT. That’s why i’ve always been wary of tattoos and made a promise to myself a long time ago that I would take a LONG time and seriously consider it before I got one. And i’m finally near the day! If it all goes well and I do like it I plan on getting a few more.

I named this post “All good things…” to memorialize the fact that school is almost over. It can be tough but I like being challenged and being able to have a creative outlet of expression. When it comes to school for those who might care: I’ve been taking Anthropology/U.S. History/English 102 this semester. Had problems with the math class so I had to drop it. But theres always next semester. I’m pretty sure that i’m going to pass all three with flying colors. Little worried about history though because the dude has very few quizs or ways to improve your grade and he has a harsh grading scale. But i’ll make it i’m sure. It’s a little late and I won’t be going to bed anytime soon so I may yet make a normal post tonight if the mood strikes me. Later.
