On and On

Lately nothing different has really come up. I got a student refund check since I need the money to do some things (I get a refund build up from when I take fewer classes than expected). Anyways I'll be getting that check cashed soon. Things have been very good and have been for quite a while (wow, didn't need god to hold my hand for life to be good, did I?).

The XBox 360 is absolutely awesome. I beat Quake 4 and I have to wish I wish Doom 3 was more what Quake 4 is. I love Doom 3 but the level of interactivity with things in Quake 4 is astonishing, and so much of the environment can be destroyed or played with. Not only that, but the weapon upgrades available are sweet as well, and the Stroggification... oh it was so horrific but awesome. It was more demented and disgusting than most horror movies that're put out now.

I can't wait for winter to get over, I'm tired of it being so fucking cold. When its nice out, spring-like, I'm more apt to want to actually get out and go somewhere (like class, for example). Speaking of class, this term is going considerably better than the last couple. I'm also now a guild class officer for the guild I'm currently in on World of Warcraft. I find it funny that I'm actually doing something with my life and going into a career I like and I can still take time to enjoy myself and play in WoW alot, but there are those who're jealous that they simply lose at life and would actually criticize me for playing WoW so much.

My interest in Magic at this point is extremely dead. At some point I want to sell my cards and stuff. Theres just no point in spending money continuously on Magic, and I wisH I would have realized this years ago. It's a hobby that I merely took up to have something to do. I could say it helped make friends, but I had plenty of other things in common with my friends back in Nevada, and I found out my senior year of high school I didn't need Magic.

I'm glad to say I've found confidence in myself and my ability to handle things as they come, and I don't have to rely on other things to help me do those things. I don't have to use drugs to make myself feel better, or tell myself everytime my life fucks up that its a test from some fictious god I hold onto to give me a reason to live, or drink or smoke, or anything like that. I don't know very many people that can say that, as a matter of fact I know maybe one or two people.

Lately I've discovered a few bands I like that have either an industrial or melodic ambiant sound, which is my main preference in style. Lacuna Coil and Kidney Thieves are both excellent bands, and I recommend them to anyone who likes bands like Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead, or Tool (I have Lance in particular in mind saying that). The other band I've known about for a while but haven't bothered to listen to much is Depeche Mode. My friend Anthony let me in on their latest cd, "Playing the Angel", and while I don't care as much for the first half of it, the last half is spectacular.

Well, that's all for now. I thought I'd update for what friends I have in Nevada that I cared enough to keep in contact with, or those in Nevada who lack lives badly enough they feel they need to barge in on someone they don't even know. I'm sure it happens alot in the Nevada Blogring; It wouldn't be a Nevada blogring without it, would it?
