A Dedication to 8-bit Theatre

What popular demand you say? Why all the voices in my head saying "Come play with us..." I just want to thank you guys for wishing me a happy birthday. I did have a good relaxing one and hope to experience more to come. Thanks again. Anyhow good times are uh-comin and goin.. PEACE OUT HOME GRIDDLES!

So you guys are wondering whats with the change... Well first off, I realized that I seemed rather too..... emo for my liking with this LJ... So I figured Id liven it up with some comedy and share my fun thoughts of the day or perhaps a reference to some websites Ive visited. Ill still talk about some major events in my life for those of yall who are still reading. With that said, Ill start off with some real world news. Ive finally acquired my Network+ and I cant feel anymore relieved that its finally over with. I can focus totally on my MCP training. Anyhow, as for MA, its starting to grow on me at the end of my 3rd week. I still do miss home but its not as desperate as my first two weeks. Ok, on to the reason I picked this theme and the title.. I discovered a 8bit theatre a while ago during my course of training at my previous center. I have to say it is by far the funniest set of comics Ive read to date! Check out the light warriors and there adventures in 8bit theatre at www.nuklearpower.com. If I remembered how to post HTML photo references, Id post the daily comic on here.. I might just do that.. Look for any comic related posts soon to come

Well thats all for now, hope to hear from anyone whos interested in reading my LJ! Take care :)

So last time I posted that I was currently in MA somewhere in some undisclosed location studying for my MCSA and SCSA certifications. The end of the weekend and the arrival of a new week has come and I am feeling much better now. Yes, its been a week already since I last was in Miami, FL and I feel a little more comfortable being here now. I do hate the chilly weather and I do hate the environment and the rules that treat us like were middle schoolers.. But I can deal with it for now.. Anyway, I attempted to look for work this weekend, watching Jackass 2 in the nearby movie theater, and pretty much exploring the nearby town.. This is definitly nothing like down south and just seems quite boring, especially with very little money on hand.. Ah well, hopefully once I get a job, things get better.. Anyway I spoke to Mark on Sunday and he seems to be doing quite well.. Didnt talk very long but we did catch up on a few things... I also spoke to Eric a.k.a Catfishpony and he was surprised and happy to hear from me.. Hes not too far away from me now, so perhaps well get together and go out to Boston or something. I also planned a little trip to Hudson for a lan party at Intel Corporation Office.. Its a 3 day event with nearly 200+ people goin, should be fun. Anyway, Ill update later when I have some more time, Ive got to study for my next exam..

As you may have guessed by the title.. It turned out I didnt really make it to Boston.. Ah yes, I was sorta mislead... I am in a town about maybe 45 minutes drive away from Boston, named Devens, MA.. Yes I finally made it to the advanced training program I so longed for.. Well it isnt what I figured it would be like, but its all good and just the same.. Anyway, I did eventually quit FFXI like I previously mentioned, although there was a minor attempt to return which ended in utter failure and my complete dislike for the game now.. I did finally get the game from Mark and it did its work on me... I am currently a Level 60 lock and 40 warrior with a few alts here and there.. It has been a great run in WoW, but it seems I may have to quit that too due to lack of online gaming available through the network Im currently connected to here on campus.. Mark if you read this soon, I will return, I have made plans as to how I will make my return.. Anyway on to other important news.. I have a girlfriend again.. Her name is Abigail and shes jamaican, although her personality is more white than jamaican.. Ive been with her to this day about 6 months and have known her for over a year and a half now. It sucks to be apart from her now but I try to maintain contact every few days via phone or daily via email.. Oh yeah Mark, I need your phone # sent to one of my emails when u get a chance.. Id like to give you a call when I can.. Alright, yes my thoughts are really collected atm since this is a spur of the moment post, so i apologize if youre jumping all over this post. Anyway Ill post again soon as I have nothing better to right now while I attempt to look for a part time job out here.. Til next time

First off I wanna start this post by thanking Mark for hooking me up with a copy of WoW.. If you read this bud, thanks alot dood. I look forward to playing with you guys ^_^. Anyway New Years was fun, I got pretty smashed up and ended up in some friends lawn like last year lol... School is bleh, but oh well Ill get it over with soon. FFXI has satisfied me enough and I think Im gonna throw in the towel, with one exception. Im prolly gonna let Mark test drive the bastard character I made before I finally say Adios to the game. It was a great run and Ill miss it dearly, but I figured its time to move on to other MMO pastures :)
I havent really told anyone else, but I figured it was best to just pull a disappearing act on this one as I dont wanna have to be convinced to return. Well, while Im working my way up in WoW, I also will devote myself to my old pastime of collecting Anime, software, movies and all kinds of cool shit. Im starting to love dealing with computers again and wanna pull as much software out of it as I can. Anyway, Ill keep trying to update my LJ, hopefully with more than just my boring life story, so stay tuned for later posts, Peace .V,,

Im assuming that this is what you readers have been wondering this whole time. What the hell happened to Droogz? Why hasnt he posted in such a long time? In all honesty, it was probably disinterest in posting here for lack of a better reason. A lot has happened since my last post but Ill just indicate some of past events that had an impact on me. For starters, the center moved all the people 21 & up to our own dorm and gave us a later curfew... It doesnt feel like a later curfew though as we have to come in for role call and clean up at the same time. Anyhow, shortly after that, Hurricane Wilma struck here and left a pretty big mess. I didnt go back to the center for 2 weeks because they were without power for that whole time. I only lost power at home for a good 3 days. After that, we counted our days to Thanksgiving since we were so anxious to go home again (I was anyway hehe) Thanksgiving came and man did I enjoy most of it. Getting fat and happy never felt better :). So yeah we come to now and really theres not much going on yet except that ive got like 3 more chapter tests to go before im finally done with A+ Core Certification study and can finally take the exam. Then that leaves me with at least another month of bookwork before I can take the OS Certification portion and be fully certified and then next stop: Boston ^_^.

Well the time i spent home away from school, I spent on FFXI playing my main char Droogz for those of you that done remember. Well the current update is I finally made it to 75 with both WAR and RDM and am slowly working RNG up there, and I mean slowly. RNG has been stuck at 67 for a while and trying to get a party that will stay for more than 5k xp at a time is becoming harder these days. Anyhow, I also managed to level some low level jobs such as DRG, WHM, DRK, SMN and BRD up a bit just for the hell of it. Gonna try to get some of those to 30 before I leave the game completely. I also switched nations. I finished ranking up with Windurst and decided to move on to Sandoria... and the plot thickens.. A few other minor things ive done in the game as well, but dont really feel like going over them at the moment as theyre not of that much importance. Anyhow ciao, til next time I decide to come here and post.

Well, Im starting to feel the toll of being away from what I left behind to do this.. I know its only been a month, but I'm starting to hate it... I'm starting to feel regret about everything I'm doing so far... I'm doubting my strength and my intelligence... I really feel lost at times and dont really know how to find my way back to my path again.. I'm struggling a lot now... More people have seen what I can do and seem to have great expectations for me... It depresses me a lot because everyone is bound to fail eventually, and I'm on the brink of it...... I dont care about anyone out here on campus, nothing is keeping from leaving except the simple fact that all I have left then is that life I escaped from to be here.

Well fuck, I sound like I whiny-ass bitch now... I dont care... Its my journal I say whatever the hell I want... Anyway, a series of situations occured on the center that have really tested my patience and my pride.... All I can do is cling to life right now... Try to get out of here as fast as possible and get on with my life... Time to be selfish..

So it finally happened, I'm currently on campus of the Trade School I decided to go to.. Its been a week and a half I've been here, so I've had enough time to find some likes and dislikes of this place. First off I will say that if my typing isnt error free, I apologize, not the best PCs around, but at least I can access the net. Anyway on to it....

My likes..

Breakfast (sausage, eggs, french toast, orange juice)
being 4 hour away from home (the freedom is nice)
being paid to attend school... ($25 a week isnt much, but its something)
going to the beach on weekends or movies on friday
recreation center (I learned to play pool here, been pretty damn unbeatable since)
Many sports (took up soccer)
comfortable dorms (yeah i share it with 3 others and its a bit boring, but at least i sleep well)

My Dislikes...

Lunch and Dinner (although the soup and salad bar are nice)
9:30pm curfew
The swimming pool is damaged (man summer isnt the time to break down >_<)
sharing room with others (yes this is sometimes annoying)
my Residential Advisors (some really suck bad)
whenever the Rec center is closed (then im really bored and I go out and get drunk or something)
All these tests we have to take (I think I earned the priviledgeto skip all of this once i had my diploma
Wednesday nites, dorm cleanup we have to be in by 8pm
Sat and Sun trips cancelled (really boring...)
Most girls on campus (As much as id like to get involved with someone here... I steer away since many of them are not safe to be with heh)

Anyway, campus life seems ok after getting used to it, I'm still in the middle of academic testing and then I'll be studying my trade for a few months before I move on to college.. Hope you guys had fun reading my list ^^ I'll keep in touch

Well seeing as noone cares about what I post, I'll just stop posting altogether, i'll continue commenting on other journals, but this one is just gonna sit here and endure neglection, take care guys, I know I dont post often but it would of helped to get a lil feedback so I know that I wasnt just writing to myself...

I've never been so eager to go out and do something than being at home right now, but theres just nothing to do.. Anyway for those of you who have been keeping up with my journal, i'm sorry for the very unexplanatory update about two weeks ago, I finally left Final Fantasy XI. I had to because I felt a rather unhealthy attachment to this game. I mean I became quite indifferent about everything around me, and I just stopped giving a damn anymore. All I cared about was the game. So I needed to put an end to that and start focusing on recovering my current trench of issues. It was a good run and I accomplished a lot in game. I dont regret having ever played it since I wouldnt be on this journal or meet the friends I know now if not for the game. I know its not too late to fix my past so I'll get on it.

Anyway these last two weeks have been pretty boring. I sent out a couple of applications for tech jobs in Orlando. I havent heard back from them but I have my hopes up. Meanwhile I've been focusing most of my attention on trying to go back to school again so I applied for financial aid and I qualified for it, but havent been told how much I will receive. Also I wont be able to receive financial aid for summer semester, so I wont be going back to school til Sept.

Anyway, just decided to update on account that I've nothing better to do... Catch yall later

heh... shit... I had to do something real hard today.... I dunno if this decision was right or wrong, but I'm just gonna live with it for now.... I know this post is very vague, but its just I cant exactly go into detail right now, I need to sort a few things our first... Ill post something more informative when I have time... in the meantime, im gonna get some sleep...

Did I mention I was bored? well, not much to do here at home. I havent gotten any calls from the Real Estate office I was supposed to be working for in weeks.... The game is down for some reason, but I dont really care too much for it.... I've been trying to read up on numerous different things in technology... Trying to get back into the PC Industry so I can keep up with current technology... My brain feels so rattled... I've been finding just about everything I do uninteresting and I dunno how much more I can take.... I'm tired of being bored...I feel if this keeps up, I'll end up doing something rash :/... Well anyway, for those of you who care... I'll be around if anyone needs me

Heh i bet you guys missed me *crickets chripping* >_>. Anyway the last couple of days have been some pretty hectic nonstop leveling action for me and phio. We managed to climb our way to 60 and are taking a "break". Basically just doin quests and hanging out in general... Meanwhile i finally proposed to rena in game.... again >.<, Yeah i know, marriage in game, whats that? It means something to us though... Im real happy about it :).... Gawd i know theres so much to talk about, but its just not comin out right.. Maybe this game scrambled the part of my head that structures sentences.. o_O

I've got just about every piece of rng AF and phio was able to toss on all of her rdm AF now... I finally tried out rng in a ballista (PvP for FFXI) and lemme say i had fun lol, managed to score a few points at it, and didnt get killed as much... I may have to make this a fulltime hobby ;P... Thats pretty much it for now. I guess im off to go level something else
cya when i cya

Man today came home so tired.... Only had about an hr of sleep yesterday so i survived on caffinated drinks and much action from Starwars Battlefront and Call of Duty. I was also eager to try out Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth but we havent been able to find a legitement no cd patch for it. Anyway i had a blast for all of you who wanted to know, but i can barely keeps my open. For thoae of you who want to reach me tonight, just ring me up on skype, im here... not all that sleepy but tired. Anyway hope to hear from yall soon.

Lets just say that im not in that shitty mood i was a couple hours ago. I feel fine, although im sorta ready to conk out due to lack of sleep. Nothing a lil bit of red bull and powerade cant solve ;P. Anyways on with todays adventure. Imoen, level 25 mithra WAR was in need of her kazham keys, so i decided to tag along while she handled Windurst mission 1-3 in Giddeus. Knocked two birds out with one stone, picked up key and completed 1-3. Phio 53 rdm and my lover in crime ^^ (Hopes Caerid doesnt see this lol >.<) decides to join us for our trip to Palborough mines for the next key. This one took longer than expected and also cost Imoen some xp as she was spawn agrod by the mobs we were tryin to get keys from. We did manage to find the key for her and now it was off to the final destination, Gheshalba Outpost. Our pld friend Caerid lvl 65 joined us eagerly to search for that dreaded key to Kazham, unfortunately i was absent during the time of the drop so I cant say i was of much help there >.> but nonetheless Congratulations to Imoen and now she can head off to Kazham.

That pretty much ended our afternoon, stay tuned everyone, the excitement continues tomorrow, until then Sayonara!

this day really sucked...... not much i really wanna talk about.... just hoping this day ends soon and the new one starts.... sorry for my lame post... ill do better tommorrow

Heh well i guess this is all new to me, so i need the rest of yous to lay the ground on me. Whats open to discussion, and whether i can make rants or just a general statement about these issues. I can get pretty volitale with my comments just to make things interesting, but ill try to tone that down some heh. Anyway whatever feed back is appreciated. And i guess id like to open up this thread as an introductary thread. So i leave it to you all now =D
