Oi??
So since it's been 85 weeks since my last update, which makes it what, almost a year and a half. Crazyness. Well anyways in the last year and half I haven't played any MMO's other then stupid java ones when I'm at work being bored. I've been thinking about coming back to XI and starting a new char, but not sure what yet, and if I do it'll be annon so you guys wont know it's me. Although I might log Glade on from time to time but don't expect him to do much. On real life stuff, I bought a house and move in on Wednesday and got a year round job finally. I'm now a 911 dispatcher for Fire and Medical. LEO's you can have that law enforcement crap. I also bought a Ford F150 to haul the bike and get to work when it snows. Oh I got a dog as well an awesome Chocolate lab who is a total ham. I guess that's about it. Stop by and say hi I'll respond next time I check my Email | | Monday, February 5th, 2007 | | 5:38 pm |

Update
Well it has been a few months since I've posted anything here and since I'm in a decent mood I'll give an update. I left ON and FFXI a few months ago and since then I've been enjoying having a real life. Shortly after I left XI an old friend from high school gave me a call asking if I would be interested in working on a independant film that he was helping produce. Since I had been laid off from my summer job I said sure why not. So for the last 2 months or so I've been working on the film. It's a horror/thriller film that takes place mostly underground. We're almost done shooting the northern california stuff which is where my involvement in the film will end. Which works for me because it is alot of long hours and working 6 days a week.
One really good thing from working on the film though is that I have met a bunch of other old friends from high school one of which I've had a crush on for years. I asked her out one night and we've been dating ever since. Everything there is going really well and I'm happy for the first time in a long time.
My old boss gave me a call the other day and offered me a job starting in the begining of Febuary and I think I'm going to take it. It's a good career move and things have improved quite a bit since I last worked there.
Well I guess thats about it for now. Don't have much else to say, I do pop on XI every now and then to say hi to some folks but I don't leave my MH. So if you see me on feel free to say hi.

WTF
Well I'm pretty pissed right now, I was headed over to my buddies house to finish up the prep on my bike. IE: taping up lights and blinkers, pulling fuses, etc. on my way over to his house my oil light comes on and as soon as I pulled in the cluctch the bike died on me. So I get the bike back home after about an hour and drop the oil pan and I see metal shavings and bits of a spring in the bottom of the pan. I had a pretty good idea where it came from so I proceeded to take apart what I thought it was gonna be. Sure enough the clutch plate was fuxor's. I tried all day friday to find the clutch plate but nobody withing 150 miles had one, so my weekend was pretty much fucked. This was supposed to be my first track day and now I'm fucked. Luckily the track time orginzers were understanding and refuned my $150. I still went up there with my buddy cuz he was riding as well, so I was able to help him out with some of the mechanical stuff on his bike and just an extra pair of hands.

The End
For those that don't already know, I've decided to end my FFXI career. It was fun while it lasted but I just dont enjoy the game anymore so its time for me to go. I'll miss ya all and thanks for the good times. | | Wednesday, June 21st, 2006 | | 9:01 pm |
Death
So yesterday after the maintience I decide it would be a good idea to go kill Tryannic Tunnok. So I grabbed my trusty Vira bot and we mosey on up to Ifrits Cauldrun and kill a few sulfer scorps and after the first round of kills Tunnok pokes his head out to say hi. I answer his Hi with a acid bolt to the face. Needless to say he didnt like that, so I'm running back to where Vira bot was waiting for me, and the I turn and begin to start stabbing away at old Tunnok. Well he didnt like this very much and decides to spam out a coulpe of AoE attacks and needless to say a few seconds later down I go followed shortly by Vira bot. I raise Vira bot up and we recover. After our recovery I head over and throw another bolt into Tunnoks head, this time though I got a little too close to his Sulfer Scorpian buddy and they both beat me down pretty quick. Luckily this time I didnt involve Vira and recovery time went quick. We finally recover fully and by now I'm a bit upset, so I make sure to be extra careful this time and I drop him about 30 min later. Lohar dropped but that was it. Later that night the LS decides to do a little KS run (scorps, how that for irony) and I'm like meh why not, I'll go. I got crap like I usually do in KS30 scorps but hey I'm ok with that because I usually get crap from KS runs, doesnt matter which one if its my turn I'll get crap. So today I've got about an hour or so to kill before I have to get ready and leave for work. Guess what I decide is a good idea to do. Thats right Tunnok. So I head up to Ifrits again and proced to kill the good ole Sulfer Scorpians that are around and after about the 2nd roun dTunnok pops his head up again, I answer his head pop with a acid bolt followed but a light sc that Virabot and I make. Things are going pretty smoothly untill he decides to show my his favorite move while my shadows were down, Death Scossors. So I'm like ok Vira bot and I will just recover and go at it again. So I switch over to Vira bot comp and I wait for Vira bot to die so I can RR and make another go at it. Well right as Vira bot eats dirt I see this little message. Virakyukyu's Reraise effect wears off. All I have to say about that is dot dot dot. So I made a decision, I hp'd Vira Bot and get him back to Ifrits get myself raised. After I get unweak I'm like ok I've got about 30 min left before I gotta get ready for work. So I show my buddy how another bolt to the face feels. We start going at it, and I'm poking away at him, slowly but surely his hp is dropping. at about the 40% mark he decides to yet again drop all my shadows followed again by a Death Scissors. This time I had unfiltered dmg and I see how much dmg I end up taking. Glade take 1551 points of damage. Vira falls shortly after that. At this point I'm like well shit, I dont have time to kill him so I promptly go through my friend lists and ls's and tell people that Tunnok is up and free and that somebody should go kill it. You wanna know the response I got? I dont feel like switch gear blah blah blah, ohh well. Maybe he'll still be up when I get home and I'll just go kill him then.

Bored
Well like a dummy I said I would work overtime today so here I am working day shift at work. Hopefully it'll be a busy quick day, but it's pretty slow right now so I'm killing time till things pick up. FFXI has been going decently, however Shardd just quit so lost a good buddy there. He'll be missed, he could get a bit emo but all in all he was a good player and was fun to hang with. Bonecraft hit 84 yesterday working on raising it more hopefully I will be 90 by the end of the week, but that depends on mats and how long my gil supply lasts. Been making Reraise hairpins and those sell pretty well for a little bit of a profit, and when i decide to actually spend some time and farm the mats for the animas it'll be good way to make some money. I need to raise leather here pretty soon otherwise it'll be pretty pointless to have high level bonecraft if i cant even make a HQ SH. Current Mood:  bored | | 7:57 am |

Bleh aka update time
Well here I am at work again on night shift bored outta my skull. I still need to have something in my life change but I really have no clue what it should be. I am dating this girl now however, she's cool and all but she's got a kid and I dont know if I'm ready to be any kind of father figure. Kinda makes things rough, because the kid limits what we can do especially being 18 months old. Work is work and is retarded, although starting at the end of the month I'm no longer in our disptach center and will be working at the Air Attack base, So i'll be figuring out where to send our tankers and air attack planes. It'll be interesting I guess but probally be really wasy for me to pick up. I mean if I can be cleared to work dispatch in 2 weeks figuring out the airbase would take me a shift if that. Good thing about going to the air base is that my schedule will change and I'll be off fucking gay ass night shift. I cant wait for that. even if I end up working fri, sat, sun shift it'll be better then god damn night shift. Last sunday was a good day though, went out for the ride, (see previous post for pics) but monday I had to go buy new tires cuz ones on the bike were pretty much shot. I always end up spending more at the bike shop then I plan on when I go into that place. I cant really help it that place is just so cool. When I was there i ended up spending about $1000-1100 on tires and riding boots and riding leathers. I can live with that though cuz the boots and leathers will save my ass if I go down. Getting road rash cleaned out with a bristle brush doesnt sound like fun especially since they dont give you any pain killers cuz they tend to thin blood out and make it less likly to clot. An intersting thing happened this morning when I got home from work. I hopped on the comp to check sales and messages and I got an IM from a girl that I went out with a few times but nothing ever amounted to cuz she goes to college in Utah. A friend of hers moved away from Sacramento awhile back and is coming back to visit soon and I guess she asked my friend for my email cuz she doesnt know many people in Cali anymore. This struck me as a bit odd but who knows maybe something will amount to it. I told my friend that it was fine by me that she gave her friend my email. I'll have to actually check my email when I get home in the morning to see if her friend has written. As far as FFXI is going I really have no complaints, Bonecraft is finally paying off, I spent about 3mil on mats the other day and i still have about half left and I"m already even from selling the synths, so from here on out it's all profit. If i farm the mats for the mats I need, I have a few alchemist friends that'll synth my mats for me and then I'll be rolling into some pretty good gil. I miight have to leave Kupo Net because of time conflicts, right now I work wed-sat and wed and sat are the days they do runs. I missed out on my assassin armlets cuz of work and they ended getting free lotted since Hito already had them and there were no other thief mains. I threw out a feeler to the LS i would like to join for dynamis, they are pretty small right now, sounds like 12-15 core members but all highly skilled. They do their runs on Monday night around 9:30 pst which works well for me considering thats my timezone. This might cause problems with ON because of the people it's with but if that happens then I'll deal with it then. Gotta love all the drama thats involved in an MMORPG. We'll see how it all turns out though, I just dont wanna lose friends because of it but if I do ohh well, it wont be from my end that causes the end of friendships. Well I guess thats it for now. Time to figure out what to do for the rest of the shift, a nap actually sounds pretty good. So till next time. Current Mood:  contemplative | | Sunday, June 11th, 2006 | | 11:27 pm |

Tah dah?
Well since my last update not too much has gone on. I took a last friday and saturday off so I could go to a party but thought the party was on saturday and it ended up being on friday. ORZ!!!!! So I missed it and that made me sad in the pants. Took my bike out a ton this last week and almost wrecked twice, lol. That woulda hurt alot. Went and saw the new Wallace and Gromit movie with my sister and niece. My niece is getting big and she's a big squirt, but I love her. The movie was pretty funny, come to think of it the Wallace and Gromit movies are always done well. Monday (halloween) I was able to talk my roomie and a good buddy of mine into going to the pool hall with me, there was lots of eye candy there since everyone was dressed up. I kinda hit it off with this girl Nikki, so I think tomorrow or Friday I'll give her a call and set something up to see if there is anything worth pursuing there. Played some FFXI with my cousin the other day, went and skilled up polearm a little bit in Eldieme played for like an hour and half just screwing around and talking shit. It was fun. I've decided that when I do come back that I'm retiring thief. So other then farming and ls events I prolly wont be using it at all. Anyone that hasnt seen Waiting yet needs to. It's one hell of a funny movie. For those of you that have see it. BAM! *Bat Wing* you homo's. I finally bought some new running shoes so I can finally start running again and get my lazy ass back into shape. Getting started on a workout schedule is always a bitch but I know I'll feel better in the long run, I think I may start with that tomorrow. We'll see how that goes though, lol. So looking back I guess a lot has happened recently, but thats it for now, so I'll catch ya'll laters.

Past few weeks
After being away from FFXI for awhile has been nice. Trying to find something else to do with my time is kinda wierd. It's like what did I do before FFXI? I remember shooting alot of pool, need to start doing that again I used to be really good and I miss that. Moday nights is ladies night at the pool hall I normally go too, I think I'll start going there again. I should be able to talk my roomie into going with me I think, either that or my buddy Aaron to go with. Hung out with my cousin a couple of weeks ago and that was a blast, nothing like mind numbing name calling and just screwing around to relieve stress. Got my overtime check the other day so here in the next few days I'm gonna be going to Foot Locker or something and get some new running shoes. My old ones are so old that the soles are starting to detatch cuz the glue is finally giving out. It sucks because the old ones are really comfy and new ones have to be broken in. Been riding my motorcycle alot lately which has been a blast, its time for an oil change and a tuneup on it though. Went for a ride with my dad the other day too, it was way too long but it was alot of fun. Next time I wanna try his harley out, not for the whole ride but for like 10 miles or so. I'm thinking in the next summer or 2 I'm gonna buy a new bike cuz mine is starting to get old. Bought a PSP the other week, having something that I can listen to music, watch movies, and play video games that is portable. I know the older ones can be hacked so you can emulate games on them, anyone know if you can still do that with the newer ones? If so where can I do that at? ps. grats on the job jeremy Current Mood: content | | Thursday, October 20th, 2005 | | 2:06 am |
FFXI break
Put some serious thought into taking a break from FFXI and I think I'm gonna have to. I'm not enjoying the game at this point in time. I dont like logging on and getting bitched at for not being here or there at a certain time or for killing a mob when theres a thief with THIII in the alliance. Dont know how long my break is gonna last, but it will probabaly be until I get bored and need something to do. I'll probally still pop on from time to time to say hi but as far as doing shit I dont think I will. I play games to have fun and since it isnt fun for me right now I'm not gonna play. Hopefully my spot in ON will still be there when I come back, but if its not I understand. I wish you guys all well and I'll say hi when I do pop in from time to time.

Thoughts
Went down to my cousins this weekend, it was great just getting away from the bull shit of home and work. I had alot of fun, probally more then I've had in a long time. We just screwed around really didnt do much of anything. Played some PSP (bought one so I'd be able to), went to see Waiting. That movie was stupid but really funny. I'm never going to come in when a resturant is about to close again. Also don't ever be rude to the people that handle your food. What they do in the movie is so gross you'll wish you had never been bitchy to your server. Been thinking about trying to hook back up with my sister's friend. She's this cool chick that just like to have a good time, only problem with her is that she is beyond flakey. I'll have to see if I can break her of that habit. I dont care if something comes up and you cant make it, just pick up the phone and tell me. Cleaned my room when I got home and did some laundry. It's kinda nice having a clean room and clean clothes, need to not let shit pile up and just keep up on it from day to day. Once I get paid again and can get some new running shoes gonna start exercising again. Need to get back to where I was 6 months ago before I came to the command center and stopped exercising. I've got it figured out how and when I'm gonna exercise. On the days I work I'll run the tar-mac at the airport that sits behind my work. Hopefully there wont be a problem with any of the airport staff, I dont think there will be, but I'm gonna talk to em before I actually start doing it just to be sure. I dont like the way I look and I'm going to change that. I know I'll be much happier when I do. I wont feel fat and ugly, which I'm probabaly not but still feel that way. Once I lose about 10 pounds gonna work on getting my 6 pack back which I miss having. Hopefully by the time New Years hits it'll start to be showing. But we'll see, it all depends on how motivated I stay with it. I just need to keep myself on it wether I feel like working out or not. ~peace~ Current Mood: content |
