If at first, you don't succeed, well... so much for skydiving.
As previously mentioned, I was waiting for World of Warcraft to come out. I have subsequently dropped off said radar. It's a fun, involved game, and I like the folks that I pal around with. It's been a little over 8 months since the game was released, and most of my time has been devoted to my monitor's familiar glow, as it shows me the dazzling sights of this MMO. I've been playing less over the past few weeks, as I (re)discover that there are other things I can do to spend my free time. This hiatus has allowed me to write this, and not a moment too soon. I fully intend to delve back into WoW with the same reckless abandon, as we've now started to use a program that was set aside just before the game was released. It's called Teamspeak, and it allows us to play the game, and TALK to one another while we do. I must say that this adds tremendously to the experience of the game, as well as allowing us better communication to work together towards common goals. It's nice to be able to actually talk to the folks that I've been adventuring with for so long.
That explanation aside, I'm feeling somewhat dark today. Kinda bleak. A little evil. In the words of Edward Norton in "Fight Club":
"I felt like putting a bullet between the eyes of every panda that wouldn't screw to save its species. I wanted to open the dump valves on oil tankers and smother all the French beaches I'd never see. I wanted to breathe smoke."
I've had a bad day, from start to finish. For some reason, it's put me in the sort of mood reserved for drunken assholes who beat their kids. I don't want to feel like this. I just need to have a night of restful sleep and get a good start to my day tomorrow. Until then, I'll try not to bitch and moan like an impotent jerk. Sometimes life isn't all it's cracked up to be.
