So make your wish.
Do you have it?
Good.
Now believe in it.

With all your heart.

I guess I really haven’t been in the writing mood. Everytime I try to write, I feel blocked by something. I don’t know if its something going on right now, or if it happens to be something in the past… heck, maybe its related to the future. I hope that it goes away. I miss my ability to write one paragraph after another.

The Thrice concert was awesome. They played some of their old stuff, which I never really got into. Hearing it again made me go back and rediscover the music that I’ve missed from them. Some of the stuff from the Red Sky EP has caught my attention, along with a few songs from Identity Crisis and Artist In The Ambulance. Makes me wonder why I ever removed the older stuff to begin with. I still like The Alchemy Index better, but all their music holds a place in my playlist.

Seeing my friends was even more awesome. I don’t always get the things that they say and do now. I suppose i’m no longer part of the circle, but I still enjoy their company very much. It’s a rare chance I get every now and then to just go crazy.

I’ve always wanted to eat at Ninniku-ya, and today was the day that I finally got to. All the garlic infused foods were absolutely delicious. They gave a generous portion of steak with a delicious sauce, numerous dipping sauces and a few sides. I loved it. Totally worth all the waiting and wanting. Of course it came at a price. The meal was almost $100 for just the two of us, which I guess isn’t too bad when you think about it. Then again, its not normal that I pay nearly $100 for a 2-person meal.

There are a lot of things on my mind, especially as of late. I’ve lost a few things recently, but I’ve also gained other things. Life is all about balance, and keeping that balance is most difficult.

Quincy just left, and while I realize its only for a few weeks, I’m still going to miss the nights at Starbucks, at least until he gets back. Marc has decided not to remain here in the islands, and will be moving back in a few weeks, which also makes me sad. A few people have left the office recently, and while I didn’t know them very well, I know they are people I know I could’ve grown to love. I’m going to miss my morning coffee with Brandi. Ricci is making me an alcoholic, which is fun, but probably not a good thing. I have to try and pace myself.

I’ve typed a good size entry today. Funny how after I complained about not being able to do so, I end up with more than what I expected. Anyway, I have work tomorrow. Have a great night.

Holy crap. Our soda machines accept credit cards now. That will not be good for my bank account.

I keep meaning to write more, but of course, I’m so busy now that I can’t sit down for a few minutes to do any one thing.

Tong Hua

I was terribly irritated last night, and to a certain extent, I still am.

I’ll finish later. I’m too tired right now.

Friends first. Always.

Variables
      Thursday July 31, 2008

There comes a point when you just have to step back and look at everything you’ve got. The past, the present, and the future. I may be at one of those points right now, I’m not too sure. I’m not too sure of anything at this point.

Right now the only constant is the people around me.

I wish I had more to say. I don’t quite know what I should do. You should be happy, and I can’t tell you if that’ll happen with me. I’ve made small changes, but again, you have to help too. There are things that I just can’t do, and I know there are many things you won’t do either. That doesn’t mean I don’t love you or you don’t love me. There are just some things that can’t be changed, or take too long to change. You’re impatient, and while I’m more forgiving, I can’t be that way forever. We shouldn’t have to make drastic changes in order to remain happy. Then you wouldn’t be you, and I wouldn’t be me.

I’m tired.

Multi-tasking
      Wednesday July 09, 2008

It’s something I’m not really good at. Here at my work desk: PSP playing music, DS with Megman ZX running, my computer with at least 5 windows open at all times, a notepad for taking notes, my Ocean connected to AIM, and a headset connected to a phone call with a more-than-likely irritated customer on the line. I guess I have so little time these days that I just have to start multi-tasking or else I would never get anything done (well except for what I’m focusing on). I just have to get used to it.

At least it’s lunch time now, so I don’t have to focus on quite as much.

Started playing Silent Hill 0rigins for PSP. It seems really Resident Evil-ish, but I’m enjoying it despite the fact that I keep dying. These clumsy controls aren’t helping at all. The lighting and shadow effects are really nice.

I cleaned up my Facebook and MySpace friend lists. I got rid of the people that I no longer speak to, and those that I barely know, and those that just irritate the fuck out of me. I did lots of cleaning up really. Deleted old accounts, deactivated things that I don’t use, consolidated my financial information, re-did my website, even cleaned up my room a little.

Oh yeah. So this is the new site. I quite like it. Simple and colorful. There is quite a bit of information missing from my blog, but that’s how I want it. I’m going to completely focus on blogging life, with a little bit of gaming. I don’t watch much anime anymore, not even Bleach. I’ll try to get back into it at a later date, but even then I don’t see myself writing whole reviews or previews about it. It’s just a big waste of time. I’ve added the ability for me to blog from my phone, so you should be seeing shorter blogs more often, some maybe containing a photo and a caption. The ‘Gaming’ section isn’t a blog, but it’s more of a section dedicated to all my gaming-related habits; lists, friend codes, my Xbox Live GamerCard, what I’m playing, all that kind of stuff. There are still some changes to be done, but I look forward to at least a year with this revision.

Lunch is almost done. I just had curry and it was good. I’m tired and I want to sleep, but I also want to stay awake and play LoTRO.

Decisions decisions.
