Traveling Home: Stop 2

I think I’m just outside of Albany (by just, I mean on the order of like 20 something miles). I stopped to get some food and stretch my legs again because they were starting to cramp up. The snow hasn’t started yet, so that means I’m staying ahead of the storm, which makes [...]

Traveling Home: Stop 1

I’ve taken my first stop on my way back home. I’ve only been on the road for about an hour and a half, but it’s been a long one. Also, those energy drinks have pretty much gone right through me.
So far it’s been an uneventful drive. I’m just trying to make sure [...]

Rockets Away

I got a great idea to start manipulating some pictures I take in Halo and posting them here, just as a sort of tribute to my favorite game.
Here’s to number one!

Dresses

The next time I wear a summer dress, it will be in another state.  It won’t be out to Market Square on a warm, clear day with a pair of flats or flip-flops.  It won’t be worn over a bathing suit to go to the lake or the beach.  It won’t be out to a [...]

Justification (a long one)

What is open mindedness?  If you’re open minded, can you oppose others’ opinions?  I’m trying to look at things openly and see truth, but when my own personal beliefs are called into question, I cannot just accept.  Either I fight, or I push the opposing opinion away.
I’m sick of fighting.
I know and understand why people [...]

friendships, acquaintances and closeness

If you’ve lost me, I’m sorry. I don’t like to lose people. I can be tough, but I cry a lot.
Someone who used to be my friend told me to fuck off last week. We don’t speak anymore and aren’t likely to again. Someone else was only waiting for me to feel neglected [...]

it doesn’t feel the same

I’ve realized that the buildings are the same. The same red brick, white columns and windows, black roofs. The light posts are the same. The same black wrought iron curving in a swan neck at the top. The weather is the same. The same drizzling rain, heavy snow and fierce winds.
What’s different is everything else.
I [...]

The Guitar

In between railroad tracks
A lone man stands with his guitar
His tattered gray coat matches the graffiti marred walls
He sings in a quiet, clear voice
Which cuts through the bustling blur
The notes flow above the crowd
I’m the only one who hears
I listen about a love left behind,
One that he longs to see again
I would join him there
If [...]

Effects of PC Gaming

I read an article over at Gamasutra about how some of the big names in PC gaming are going to be forming an alliance of sorts to help the declining PC gaming market. Basically, they’re going to work together to overcome some of the obstacles PC gaming is facing in terms of keeping up [...]
