Not just a Gears of War Achievement! Apparently it’s also not just a copycat (homage?) BlackSite: Area 51 Achievement either! The TimeSyphon had its first user signup, Iolis. Probably thought he could sneak in. Anyway, in honor of this internet baby step, he is granted immunity from being called a noob for 1 year. December 4, 2008 shall see this grace period expire though. Maybe it’ll be a holiday, hell I dunno. Guess I should start posting stuff.

Posting Again, For the First TimePosted by: TimeSyphon in A Ramble, Adventure, Food, Video GamesSo anyway, today I didn’t have plans or immediate business to take care of at lunch. Idle hands. Of course I explored. It started out innocent, seeing where the other end of a road was. Turns out I already knew, I had just never made the connection. I have now officially made said connection, and it is unfulfilling. I’m some sort of compulsive collector, so since I was “close” I went to Burger King to get a Halo 3 bag (last time I just got a cup). Anyway, I just got a regular bag again, and regular cup this time, leaving me still without accomplishment. In fact, since fast food will kill you I’d say I was firmly in the hole, a hole no amount of generic cups will dig me out of. Naturally I drove down another road. I almost didn’t, since reading two lane ending signs was not enough to make me slow down. After a quick jaunt into a mobile home community (I didn’t want to say trailer park in case you’re reading this from one), and picking my now empty fry container out of the floorboard, I was ready to rock and continue rolling. Oh, I got a Halo 3 fry box, wee. My generic bag had also retained one fry, but that’s not important right now. Had I accepted this small accomplishment at face value I would not have spent the better part of an hour driving down a road to fuckin nowhere. I really expected to see a “no outlet” sign or a Delorean, something other than trees and farms. I needed to make my way right (I don’t know the cardinal direction, like you care) but this particular road was intent on curving left. It reminded me of my wang actually. Anyway I got back to the office with 4 minutes of lunch remaining – plenty of time to eat my Whopper Jr and one fry. I also had time to clean my car, get a good start on my colossal Vault (gag) and realize I could have actually posted here. Now you know where my free time goes. It’s stupid shit like driving around town, in this case the sticks, or debating what unhealthy thing I want to eat. Sometimes I stare at the wall. Yeah, back in the pre-now, when survivor first aired Stateside, I remember a guy saying “Arrrr….it’s a dickhatch” in reference to Richard Hatch and his butt pirating. It’s catchy, no? See it’s his name, annnd what he does. Get it? Ahahaha. ha. Ever since that fateful day the line has been inextricably attached to any mention of Survivor, Pirates or Rich himself in my little brain. Just wanted to inflict that on you as well. Anyway, today is an important day. Today marks some unknown number of years that I have continued to forget this holiday. Every. Freaking. Year. I forget it’s Talk Like a Pirate Day until it’s too late. I mean seriously, how many times can I forget this. The only result is more bitterness and poorly told stories from my past. I’m putting this holiday in my calendar, and if you’re still reading next year I’ll write something good as a reward. It’ll be here before you know it. Possibly before I know it, but I have that reminder. God. I don’t mean detractors. Ever get involved in a bunch of stuff, none of which can be finished in the short term? Yeah, life. Anyway, among my other responsibilities that I have no intention of speaking about here, I am intentionally adding this one. Long put off and long needed, this release just has to happen. So here it is, a day late and a dollar short. Not so much a responsibility as an outlet for all the others. Ref: my soul. I’ll probably end up adding whatever song is on my mind, like all the blogs, because I like music. Why? Why would I do such a thing as add my internal babble to the already cluttered internet? Aside from the fact that I can, I honestly hope someone gets a chuckle out of this site. Maybe even a chortle. Possibly their first taste of a song or movie they never knew they liked. Maybe even enlightenment. If you find enlightenment here, through my words, you might need a good doctor. Hell, even a bad doctor. I’ve spent a good portion of my life taking in things in from the internet (henceforth most likely intarweb) and for a very long time I’ve just wanted to get my hands a little dirtier. Curse your bad luck for bothering to read what may be the most useless post I make. My statement. I hope the rest are a bit more interesting, you don’t really have to come back. But, what if you miss something? |
