Random events leave bad tastes

Things have been chaotic on this side of the Earth. I don't honestly know where to begin.

For starters I've been being driven up the wall by my neighbors. They are loud, often making a racket at night, invite unstable company over, and trashed the hallway. Its enough that they often woke up many of the people living here, but they are in a fight with the people right below them, often causing more of a racket.

If thats not bad enough something recently happened across the street. Some creep choose to beat his daughter. I know not of what became of the girl, but I wish her the best of luck where ever she may be. As for the father, no punishment he gets would bring justice to his actions. Even death is to light a punishment.

But yeah, because this area has quickly gone down hill fast we are searching for a new place to live, which is taking up a lot of time.

I have also became a member of the community for the game Element Online. Currently there is no demo out, but its expected soon. I became a Mod for the game as I have supported AbsoluteZer0 for a while. I'm greatly looking forward to this game. Zer0 was also nice enough to make a custom sprite, which will be used in-game. Its Chibi-Chaos :D

Other than that I've been writing more. I currently have several project active, with a few being commissioned for free for a few friends. The one I'm currently most pleased with is Lu-Sha Nightmare. Its a thriller story about a group who won a trip to go to this amazing island. Day turns to night within hours, and staying that way for longer. It is only after a day that the group realize they are in over their heads. When night falls onto the land they must seek shelter within a building, hiding within the light. Together with the natives of the island they must figure out a way to survive.

On another random note I finally found someone to take a commission for me. It will be the first time he ever was drawn, but it will give a good idea on what to change and what not. Heres hoping for the best.

Night all, been fun.

Its bound to get better...right?

It has been rather interesting already this year. Many things have happened, some good and some bad, but it was mostly boring.

The whole thing with my2gigs.com seems to be happening to others now. Nighthawk had to remake his site. I think it was a good change personally. I am looking into another provider as we speak. Its another one that Nighthawk told me about. I'm hoping it gives better results.

Other than that I've been living my life trying to find a job. No luck. I applied almost everywhere around where I live. The only places I did not apply for was the restaurants and the grocery stores. I refuse to work in one of those places. . . but I might go against my pride if this keep up.

When I'm not looking for a job I concentrate on some of my hobbies. I've recently started a nice book about ghost lores from around the world. I've heard some of them, but its always interesting to hear them again. I learned so much about Hell house and other known places.

I've also started a few stories of my own. Sadly none of them are developed enough to post a good sized preview. If it gets down to the point I post them, I'll make a seperate blog for them.

I've became addicted to web comics as well. I seem to be adding a new comic each week or so.
Lang Lang comic about a chinese cat that is adopted by a family in America. It follows her adventures at school and all the pranks she pulls.
Alien Dice follows Lexx, a player of a game called alien dice, a game about capturing, training, and battling dice which have bonded with an animal. On his first trip to earth he has an fateful encounter with Chel. She decides to come along with Lexx as her pet cat has been turned into a dice. Through various days the mysteries of dice and of Lexx will unfold.
Faux Pas follows the tail of a barn filled with animal actors, both retired and active. Every animal has their own personality, ranging from a chicken addicted to soaps on TV, to cats that like to trick Randy.

I've also been playing a few games to pass the time with.
King Of Chaos - A text based browser game. Train and arm your men and try to raise to the top in this chaotic game. Choose from 5 different classes that fits every type of player out there.
Stargate Wars - Another Texted base browser game based off of the TV show Stargate wars. Join a side, and attempt to climb the ladder. Has several servers offering something different. Can you ascend above the rest?
Kongregate is a flash game portal offering something to both the developers and the players.
Gain badges, and collect cards for the upcoming Kongai card game. Plenty to do, much to see.

That sums up what I've been up to quite nicely. Other than that I've been doing random things, which has helped me get through the beginning of this month. Everything seems to happen at once, and for that I'm thankful its getting it out of the way. The rest of this month should be smooth sailing.

Speaking of this month, I'm greatly looking forward to Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I've always had fun trying to improve myself in that game, and challenging my brother to a few rounds. Only a few days left before its out. It should take place of all the time I've been spending on flash games and the like.


Well that wraps up what has been happening in my life for the time being. Hope you have a wonderful March, and I'll see you when ever I feel like posting again.

Reasoning for my writting preference

I've recently got the urge to continue my stories. I've been asked why I tend to focus on animal characters instead of humans. The reasoning behind that is quite simple, animals are more interesting.

Each species of animals has their own traits that make them unique. Take for example, a raccoon. If you give him the ability to walk on hind legs, and to talk (or at least make it seem that way from the readers point of view) you would get everything you would already get from humans, but theres more to them. Add in the fact that they are attracted to shiny things, and tend to rummage though the garbage, which easily allows for comedy.

Not only raccoons, but every animal has their own characteristics. Every animal has the option to easily express a set of characteristics in which, you may or may not see from people.

Now, if I just happen to make great progress on the stories, I'll make a section for stories, and post it there. Until then though, you will just have to wait and see what comes forth.

What a great start to the new Year

Well it's here. The jolly holidays are out the window, and stores already have Valentines inventory out. We made our resolutions, now to attempt to accomplish them. My new year resolution is to finally find a job (hopefully) and to give the site itself more attention. Sadly its not going all that well for me.

For the past 12 days I've been having trouble sleeping. I've been tossing and turning, and drifting in and out of sleep. To make matters worse I have new neighbors. Loud, obnoxious neighbors with equally loud kids. Screaming up and down the stairs, yelling very loudly, and a dog to boot.

Well all things are not entirely bad. I've been having a blast playing Mario Galaxy. It has been my one savior when all alone.

As the dust settles

Well its been a while since I've told you about my troubles with the leaking ceiling. Things are looking up now.

We have currently fully moved into the apartment. Many of the boxes still remain sealed, even several weeks since we moved. The furniture has all been moved into place. The living room is a cozy little room, the bedrooms simple but comfy. It feels much more relaxing here. The two cats, Skunk and Autumn both seem to agree.

I've also been currently looking for a job, but still to no prevail. I guess I'm not a wanted worker, oh well their loss.

Thanksgiving is only a week away. It seems like this month has been moving very fast. It only seems like last week we moved in.

Well thats all for now.

Raining into the apartment... on the bottom floor.

September has been know to be an unlucky month for my family, and this year it was not exception. I know I am typeing this late, but the events from September seems to be moving over to the beginning of this month.

From the beginning of September, weird things began happening. Nothing big other than a large amount of bad days. The time the weird events started happening the month was half way over with.

The first main event that happened, my modem keep losing the connection to the net. We had it checked out, and they replaced the splitter and the modem itself. Sadly the time of having internet 24/7 did not last long, as it started happening again. Being fed up with this we have decided on dropping the provider, cable TV and all. That would save us around $100+ each month. We have already decided to use half of it to keep up entertained. We shall be upgrading our Netflicks and GameFly account by 1 level. So you might say there is a silver lining within the darkness.

As for being connected, we have decided to connect our computer via WIFI. For a short time now there has been a WIFI signal going through the area. We tracked down the owner and came upon an agreement upon us using it.

Now that may seem like a tiny event compared to what has happened recently.

Beginning this month, we have been having horrid days. It was not till the second of October that the event happened. For a while we have had leaks in the house. One in the kitchen, which leaked only twice, greatly spaced out between the days. The second leak happened more frequently, but it was thankfully over the bath tub. Sadly this leak was massive.

The day started out great. Got sleep, got something to eat, and got a expected E-mail on time. I decided to put on a movie at 4PM. It was around 5PM that I was in the middle of watching Evil Dead 2 that the main event started. I heard what sounded like a shower, but it sounded closer than normal, and being curious I decided to check it out. It turns out the hallway sprung a leak from the light. I then threw the books, laundry basket, toilet paper, and tissue boxes into the nearby bedroom, hoping to save them. I opened the bathroom to get a bucket only to find it was flooded. Oh Joy. From that point my mind and body was racing. Doing all I could think of, I blocked the two cats from coming in, and I placed buckets under the leaks. The buckets themselves are good size, and it only took a matter of minutes to fill them.

When I got the chance I decided to call people. I called my mother, which she was at work. I was put on hold while at the same time dumping buckets. After a short while I got a hold of her. I stuttered a lot within the call, but thats understandable. After a while she got the message, and called the repair man. I was still rushing water out of the bathroom floor as fast as I could, while keeping the buckets from overflowing.

The next chance I got I IMed my brother, which as luck would have it, just got home with his roommate. After a small conversation they were on their way. I went back to work of getting rid of the water, hoping for dear life the repair man got here soon. After what seemed like a long time, someone knocked at the door. It was the long awaited repair man. Rushing in, he took one look and saw how big of a problem we had. Taking action, he quickly turned the water off through the entire building. The water still flowed freely. To make matters worse, it started to spread into my room. Starting at the hallway, making its way in.

Finally my mother arrived from work to survey the damage. sadly she was not expecting something like this. She took over while I took a small amount of time to rest my soaked hands and feet.

The leaks started to slow, but it was still coming down hard. After a while my brother and his roommate showed up to help, bringing in another bucket. With all of us working we were able to keep the water from hardly reaching the floor.

We went to see the cause of this mess, but sadly no one knew, or at least they were not telling. All they said was it was the second floor apartment bathroom was also flooded. The apartment manager sent out a water pump. We continued to take shifts and drain the water.

The pump company arrived, and took care of the second floor, then turned their sites onto our floor. It took a while, and the people were not so smart. They turned on the lights, in which the water was coming out of. During this mess, the manager went in. She started talking, and she said something about moving to a new apartment. Not some random apartment, but one across the street. We decided to look at it, even though I think we would have said yes. The carpet was gross, it needed a fresh paint job, but those were tasks that were underway.

The new apartment was nice. The Living room was not as big, but it was still a good size. The kitchen itself has a separate dining space. The two bedrooms are also bigger than what we have now. One even has a walk in closet. It does not have a fireplace, but we never used it. In its place it has AC. A really good deal for the same price we are paying now. They gave an approximated time that the carpet, the paint, and the roofing will be done withing about a week.

A pump, and a few holes in the ceiling later, things were calmer. They sprung a few holes in my room, and in my mother's room, to relieve the pressure. We decided to get something to eat while it was calm. We went to IHOP, and the night turned good again. The food was great and we discovered a silver lining to this mess. We wanted to move, and although we are moving across the street to the same apartment complex, we will have a newer place.

Now all we have to do is wait for the week to be up, and we shall move intot he new apartment.

Revisiting my old home.

Within the time I've been here in Cheyenne, I have been home sick the entire time. Sure this town is a change of pace, and only a short drive from Greeley, but its still not really my home. I missed seeing the mountains to the west, being in the town I've known my entire life. Also there was more to do there.

Recently I went with my family to get out of Cheyenne, and go back to Greeley for a day of relaxation. It did feel good to be there. While there we visited the Target, got some Mr. Pib there. Its the only place near us that sells it. We also went to the hastings. While there, I found two items. The first being the entire series to the anime Outlaw star for around $35. We also found Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga for around $40. I was unable to decide which to get, but after a while of consideration I decided on Digital Devil Saga. Even though it did not come with the soundtrack or art book, it was still a good find. It normally costs much more than that, and to find it complete would cost around $100.

We also visited a few other places, then we settled down to eat. We went to a Western Sizzlin. It is an all you can eat buffet. The food was below average, and the weighter was scaring us...

It was a good day, and but during the ride back to cheyenne, I was still home sick. I'll never be able to return to the place I once called home. With all the recent remodeling and such, the place it just to different to really call my home. I wonder if I'll ever find the place I can truly call home.
