Ah, ah, child, way you shake that thing,
Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.
Ungh, another long break between updates. I was trying to do better about that but sometimes shit just doesn’t pan out. So whats been going on since the beginning of September? Not a whole lot is the short answer.
Lets start with video games. For some reason I have been feeling burned out on gaming for a while now, really since I finished Assassins Creed: Brotherhood. I have Battlefield 3 pre-ordered but thats really the only game that I am intending to buy for the rest of the year. Way too many games to finish, go back on, hell start. And for whatever reason it just hasn’t been a priority in my life recently. Maybe I am getting old, I dunno. I do know that my entertainment has always gone in cycles, video games, books, movies, the internet, etc. And right now I seem to be in an Internet phase with a dash of movies. Maybe Battlefield will bring me back to games, maybe it won’t, I dunno. But we are going to see what happens when it arrives.
The other tricky part about battlefield for me right now is that I have an appointment for Lasik the Friday after battlefield drops. Not sure yet whether I will go through with it or not at this point. Between the general fear of “crap happening to my eyes” and the fact that I have been wearing glasses for over half my life at this point… I just dunno. I have a few days before I have to decide though which is something good. Also good is that my parents have offered to pay some of it…. which brings it into the realm of possible.
Whats going to be particularly… Fun about Lasik is that I will be flying out about a week later. Supposedly thats fine but it does make me a little nervous. Well a little more nervous. Plus, I mean, what if I look like shit without glasses?
On the other hand, it would be phenomenal to never have to wear contact to ride again. And really, riding is the main reason that I am considering lasik in the first place. Before I bought my bike… I always considered it vanity surgery. And it is but… man I hate contacts when I ride. Speaking of riding, I was out yesterday for about 150 miles… damn was it windy as shit. Enjoyable but just exhausting to ride in wind like that. And I think its just about time to clean up the last few things on the bike, run a rag over her and get some bug guts off her and put her up for the year. Especially since if I do go for Lasik, my season is over after next weekend anyway. Plus its getting colder. And I can be a bit of a wimp at times I guess. I do know though that I am going to finally pull the trigger on some upgrades to the bike that I have been meaning to make for a while. Sometime after Christmas though, as who knows what, if anything, I will be getting from the family. Whatever is left will most likely be pricey after all…
Work continues to be more or less the same. Nothing real fun there, thats for sure… but like many people I am happy to have a job right now. Its been very interesting to watch the whole Occupy Wall Street Movement from the safety of my employed Ivory Tower. Still not entirely sure how I feel about the entire thing… or rather where exactly I fall on the fence perhaps. But politics is something for a different time. I will say however that it is damn nice to work from home for two days a week.
Things with the lady are going well, although its her busiest month and my next two months tend to be the busiest for me. Never makes things easy thats for damn sure. But its still worth it to make time, even if it means that missed part of the vikings disappointing loss to the bears yesterday. Oh wait, that one is a good thing.
Still been watching a lot of Sons of Anarchy. Its interesting as hell seeing where season 4 is going and I actually started rewatching the show at the beginning (thank you Netflix instant) to try and see what I missed. I always miss something after all. And if nothing else its interesting as all hell to see how quickly things devolve.
Other then all of that… things are mostly the same these days. So I am just going to say…. no homo but you’re looking pretty swoll.
