Until very extremely recently I was overly interested in online video games… specifically MMORPGs (which is latin for “will probably ruin your life if you don’t play in moderation).
So I played one (Final Fantasy XI: Online) for something like four and a half years, which probably seems like a long time to play one video game, but that’s what these massively multiplayer online games are about. They suck you in and they take $15 dollars a month from you. Honestly, a month worth of entertainment for fifteen dollars is a hell of a fucking deal. That’s like 2 watered down drinks at a bar, or dinner for one at a low end shit pile like Fridays or Applebees. Fuck, I got off track posting a not so bad aspect of ‘em…
Right, so ummm, yeah I played that game for a while and it eventually occured to me how boring it was doing the same bullshit over and over and over again. So, I quit that and got a new game! I posted about it not too long ago, THE AGE OF CONAN! Yeah, I was pretty excited about it, I had been in the open beta and it was a ton of fun. During the beta you could only get to level 13, they claimed it was because they didn’t want to reveal too much of the story. The truth, I came to find out, was that the fucking content after that point was a pile of fucking horseshit that just wasn’t worth playing. So I quit that shit too (after a few weeks).
Now I’m the proud owner of a new guitar amplifier (just a small practice amp, good for my purposes), and a copy of Guitar Hero III (which I had previously made fun of extensively). So I’ve been doing that, playing real guitar again after something like 3 or 4 years of barely touching the thing, and I’m playing fake guitar which I talked some pretty serious shit about. As it turns out it’s actually pretty fucking fun, even though most of the tracks on there suck dicks.
Speaking of music, I’ve been on a big “angry Canadian” music binge lately. Here are some really awesome bands that you should check out, the singer is the same dude in all of them, Chris Colohan. It should also be noted that all of them are disbanded. Cursed broke up earlier this month after all of the proceeds from a tour they were on, and their passports were stolen, and they had to borrow money to get back home. So, check this shit out, it’s really fucking good.

I spent about an hour fucking around with wordpress audio plugins, and the above is the only one I could get to fucking work. I’m fairly sure I’ve explained previously that code and I are not friends.
That’s right, there’s a lot of fucking filler out there, and I’m fully aware that I’m part of that.
The fucking “blogosphere” they call it, another fucking buzz word to throw around at the local starbucks or on your fucking podcast.
All of these motherfuckers on the interwebs with their fucking twitters and their pownces and their fucking utters (utterz?), they think you want to know what the fuck they’re doing every minute of every fucking day. Update from your cell phone, text in how big the latest shit you took was. Fuck, take a picture of the goddamned thing and attach it. The world needs to know, this is important shit. Your shit is an important shit for the shit of the internet to fawn over.
CALL IT IN, yes yes yes.
“Hey this is Jimmy calling from the office. I just want to tell the world that I just stole Bernice’s bagels out of the break room and I just can’t wait to see her reaction when she goes in there and sees they aren’t there”
Is that a real twitter thingie? Probably… yeah there’s probably some bullshit on there like that.
Fuck social networking.
“Thank you sir, have a blessed day”
Don’t force your fucking bullshit heebie jeebie beliefs on me. What does your silly superstition have to do with buying a chicken sandwich?
“God bless you”
I’m having trouble understanding why sneezing requires a divine intervention.
Not everyone in the world is Christian, not everyone wants a blessing from your god. How about you just keep your fucking mind numbing, drool inducing plague to yourself?
That goes for all of you fucks and your fucking faith, keep it to yourself.
Previously I typed all this bullshit up on the blogger.com website dashboard user interface hoo-ha. After some very brief consideration and my wife telling me she’d do all the heavy lifting for me, I moved on to greener pastures and a brandy new wordpress dealie. I personally think it looks better, and I know that it works better, so I am the winner.
It’s got a swank “about me” page (see: This is me, is this you?). I took the time to put something there, nothing that isn’t obvious/previously known, and nothing that could potentially be used against me. It’s not very well written either, as I’m not a fucking professional speech writer like my buddy Molecularbuttmonkey.
HOW DARE YOU EAT A FUCKING MINT DURING MY BLOG! YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!
Bukowski is better than you will ever be.

The following are excerpts of various conversations I’ve had with a certain person who shall remain nameless. These are just comments dIrected at me.
xxxxxxx: You’re the most uniquest grownass man who browbeats children on the internet I know of
xxxxxxx: only the clinically retarded would read a post you wrote under another name and not know it is you
xxxxxxx: and your goal is to piss people off on an infrastructure of mine instead of that structure serving the show-building goal for which it is intended?
xxxxxxx: God I hope xxxxx boots your ass
xxxxxxx: god you’re worthless.
If any of my readers listen to any of the podcasts I listen to, I’m sure you’ve gotten a pretty good idea already. If you don’t listen to podcasts, head on over to iTunes and subscribe to a few. This guy has a show that is available on iTunes, it’s a very good show, however… he’s apparently trying to force me to change my 5 star review to a 1 star review.
Do I think his show deserves that? Nope. I think he deserves it though.

Oh, you like coffee? I do too, fuckass, that’s why I’m standing here in front of the coffee brewing device. I just happen to like prepping my (disgusting) powdered creamer in the cup before I place it under the Keurig Machine of Doom.
I was just about to put my cup in the receiving position, when you decided to take my turn.
“Oh, did I snake your turn?”
Being in a corporate environment doesn’t allow me to take the liberty to express my feelings for you sir.
“No, I’m not in a hurry, you go right ahead!”
While his coffee is being dispensed into the cup, he reaches up into a cabinet, the door of which falls off of the hinges as he opens it, and pulls out a packet of hot chocolate.
Is it possible for you to be gayer? Seriously, hot chocolate in your coffee? I believe it was even no sugar added.
Outta the way faggot, it’s my turn for the coffees.

Hey asshole,
Yeah, you there with all your windows down and your treble laden hip hop bullshit. Speed the fuck up, or slow the fuck down so I can get away from your terrible taste in music.
Thanks in advance and go fuck yourself,
Cobra Commander
My French Canadian friend informed me that it had been a while since I added any new content to my blog. He’s absolutely right, it has been a good long time since I wrote some new stuff.
I’ve been moderately busy (lazy) lately, with work and attempting to spend more time with my family. I’ve also been playing Age of Conan a bit lately, and have a Cimmerian Conqueror to level 42, as well as some alts that I haven’t touched at all.
I also canceled my Final Fantasy 11 online account early last week, to avoid paying for a game I’m not playing anymore.
I’m sure something more interesting has happened lately, I just can’t think of anything at the moment.
