Did I mention?

I got Trollbane last week (http://www.wowwiki.com/Trollbane_%28axe%29). I decided to enchant it and equip it even though I think I gain 1 RAP. The sword and fist are cooler than this axe, but I've wanted it since ZA came out. I might as well use it for a bit.

Season 4

As any WoWer knows Season 4 will begin shortly. I am in the battlegrounds fairly regularly these days to farm honor. I have to get out of my Gladiator stuff and get my Merciless Gladiator stuff, don't I?

Why?

I hate PvP. I'm wondering if there is a point to upgrading to the next generation of gear if I hate using it in the first place. I didn't bother changing out of my PvE geat last night, and still got enough honorable kills to put me on the FBI's most wanted list.

I guess it kills time, and makes me feel productive. It's funny how a relaxing game has turned into my 'job' at home.

Insight

I felt the need to post something profound, something Earth-shattering that makes one reflect on their life and the lives around them to contemplate how mankind could be better served if certain adjustments were made and rough edges were polished and refined. It was my intention to release knowlege that would ease the burdens of stress and make it simpler to earn a living and vacation more. All of these things were at the tips of my poorly typing finger tips. Then my mood changed and I wrote this.

Testing Photo Adeptness

Did the photo appear?

Yes?

I'm a fucking genious!

Oh! I forgot to call my Dad on Father's Day.

I'm a genious with a side of asshole.

Ouch! I hurt my own feelings.

Last night I accepted the invitation to join Stay Frosty. It's not like they pursued me all over Duskwood trying to get me to notice their advances. I applied.

My son has wanted me to apply to Stay Frosty for nearly 2 months, ever since Anathema ran into problems filling raids. I couldn't do it.

How could I leave the people I shared the better part of a year with just because the road was rocky? This is the guild that took me out of my Auction House greens and quest blues, and got me as close to T6 as progression allowed (T5 and badge gear). They took me from a guild where I saw twice to full 25 man raids, and improved my play style by giving me tasks that would wipe the raid if I messed up.

How do you walk away from that? With a heavy heart, that's how.

All of the guys in Stay Frosty complimented my application, and were welcoming when I joined. I was gracious, of course. Don't get me wrong! That was mega-cool! I was just a bit depresses over typing "/gquit" moments before.

I ran a Heroic Slave Pens instance with some new guildies a few minutes after I joined. It went flawlessly. The party all commented on how it was the smoothest run ever. I'm not taking credit for the smoothness, of course; but I can tell you I made no errors. How could I? I had Dinah, Uncas, and the whole crew that raised me to this level was sitting on my shoulder pressuring me to live up to the name Anathema...to prove I was worthy of the title though it was now gone. They would have been proud.

So ends an era and begins another. Fairwell to the guild I loved so much for so long, and welcome to the guild that has yet to know me. I will endear myself to Stay Frosty like I did with Anathema, and I'm sure they will return the favor.

I need to go kill some monsters to get over this emo shit!

Good News From Last Week

I got a voice mail message from my younger sister last week. She quit smoking! It had been about 2 1/2 weeks when I got the message, so it's probably been 3 weeks now.

I am very proud of her, wether or not she smokes. Now I am happy for her. Quitting sucks, but continuing means I have my sister for less time.

Mom is smiling in heaven I'm sure. Heck, she is smiling all of the time. She's probably doing some extra bragging about her daughter right about now... if that's possible.

Thumbs up, Kiddo! I love you.

Practice Practice Practice

I am trying to learn to type correctly as opposed to the 'Hunt and Peck' method. This post took 2 minutes and about 8 corrections...no 9...damn 10!

Son of a Bitch!

Well, it's official. Anathema is no longer going to be a raiding guild. It feels like it will be a 10 man alt raiding guild...at best. Yay!
