Beelz

Diablo 3 comes out in... let me see... 1:39:20. I posted for Diablo'ers to have fun, with a sigh preceding it. It wasn't exasperation, it was more aimed towards the fact that guys make fun of gals for excitement about things such as Harry Potter and the Twilight saga. While I understand that there's a difference between the third installment of a top-selling video game and awaiting the release of Harry Potter 7.2, you just have to recognize that everyone has different taste. And taste in an emotionless vampire-human-werewolf love triangle is better than no taste at all.

I think.

I played Diablo 2 a couple times. It was always runrunrun (or squishsquishsquish... it was usually raining) stabstab loot. Crap, inventory full. Sellsell runrun (squishsquish) pickupleftbehindloot, sell, repeat.

Maybe I was playing wrong.

My vacation was supposed to end today, but I had a funeral to go to so I took the night off. I was hesitant to, since it was my first day back, but I stepped into the shoes of those closest to the deceased, and realized I should attend. In other words, when a semi-distant relative dies, their kids, parents, whatever appreciate seeing you show up.

It bothers me that I only see my family at functions such as these. There are fewer holiday get togethers (Mothers Day, Easter, etc.) and I can only give the simplified greetings and rundowns of my life to those I used to spend significantly more time with. And one by one, they're leaving. I don't want to admit this, but there were at least 3 close relatives I saw today that I know I have limited time with, given the rate we see each other now.

Change of subject.

Alright, to end, I'll add a video. I really like this song. The only way it's related to my post is the name. In translation, anyway.

P.S. Got the new ink I wanted! It was, as usual, a spur-of-the-moment thing. But I quite like it.

Hello again. Miss me? No? Well hey I didn't even notice your absence, so suck it.

I really want to get back into something that makes me more of an individual. Writing... art... stripping... Wait I never did that.

Yeah. Odd mood tonight. Try to keep up. If you make it to the end, and forward it to 873 people, and do a hand stand while reciting the Greek alphabet backwards, you'll get a surprise.

Anyway... getting back into something would make me feel more self-worth. My strong suit was music, so I've considered joining the community band. But that'd require purchasing an instrument.

Started re-watching Smallville. And Buffy. Buffy I've seen all of, Smallville I haven't seen the last season. I forgot how much I love John Glover as Lex Luthor's father. I know the actor is gay but I'd still do him. Yes that's right. When you're a slave to my writings you're going to occasionally come across a juicy piece of TMI.

Alright, time for some less cheeky material.

Sit with me a while and let me listen to you talk about
Your dreams and your obsessions, I'll be quiet and confessional.
The violets explode inside me when I meet your eyes,
Then I'm spinning and I'm diving like a cloud of starlings...
....Darling is this love?

Some of my favorite lyrics of all time.

I came up with an idea for my nonexistent internet radio station. Have themed playlists. I already have one going, just for kicks and grins. An hour's worth of listening.

My vacation starts at the halfway point of this coming weekend. Saturday at midnight I will belong to no one's employ for the next 8 days. Plans? Clean house... relax... spend time with child... spend an evening with me mum at a comedy club after dinner somewhere and the like... and an evening of late birthday shindiggery that includes movie/dinner/drinks to wrap up my week of freedom.

More lyrics to close this post... A great song, and I woke up singing this line just the other morning.

"Have you heard? It was on the news.
You can make your peace on the dark side of the moon."
