A Message To The Spiritual Enemy

            I may be down right now and being guarded by the Lord’s Angels. But, I will rise again stronger than ever. I will survive this and be better for it. I will not let this break me spiritually or otherwise. I would still go through it all over again for all the happiness it brought me. And, if she comes back ever there are going to be some long hard talks as well as some trust building to go through. As well as amends and work to do with others.

            But, it doesn’t appear to be happening anytime soon, so I have to make it about me. I have to think about me and what I want in life right now. Right now, I know I need time to heal. And, that is going to require me leaning on my friends a bit. Just for talks about anything and everything as well as to kick my butt out of the house now and then. And, I know my family is there for me. And, I want them to know I am there for them as well. First woman I bring home that everyone likes and she breaks everyone’s heart.

            But, even as I take time for myself I have to keep up with my spiritual and academic studies. And, I plan to. I will not fall. I will rise from the ashes of this like a mighty Phoenix. I will conquer my issues fully eventually and be better than what anyone thinks I can be. I can feel the energy pulsing through me as I listen to the music. Not sure that makes any sense, but if you have had a similar experience you will now what I mean.

            I am not backing down from any of my goals either. Not walking away from any of my projects either. There was a time I would have, but my peers changed my mind. They showed me I belong there. And, I thank them for that. And, if I become the old crazy cat Professor so be it. I will still be happy with myself. And, I am not going to shy away from playing computer or video games. That means you better come over some time for some Mario and Donkey Kong mom.

            Oh man, we had some royal fun with those games. I will be picking up those games for the Wii soon as well as Zelda. I am hoping they live up to expectations. Still trying to figure out what to get with the Nintendo 3DS besides Pokemon. I have something in mind but want a third option as well. Wonder if I can get mom addicted to it? Probably. Then at least we could have our own game night even when she is living outside of the city. I’ll still win though. And, I can already picture her response to that.

            I am also slowly putting together a Saturday Night Tabletop Gaming Night. Just have to get a start date settled on and some stuff out of the way for it. Feels good to be getting away from the computer a bit and into some other things. Those other things will end up getting written about of course. And, I just thought of a title for the piece as well. Of course, it will be found only on Odyssey. We are stronger together after all. And, no that is not the title. You will just have to wait and see when I debut it. Smiles.

            My reviewing starts next week as well. It is time to start picking up the pieces. It is time to start rising. There will be one last thing about my heartbreak from Odyssey and that will be that. I am tired of feeling like this and I am choosing not to. It won’t be easy, but I am going to do my best. And, we are coming up on the 365^th entry and not sure how to celebrate that yet. I will think of something though. But, know that I am slowly getting better.

            I have rambled on enough for one day though. Feel free to leave questions and comments as always. Maybe leave comments on what is a good game for the Nintendo 3DS as well. As for me I am being summoned to chat on Odyssey’s chat platform and I have schoolwork to finish tonight as well. From there I am not sure where I go. *Tips his hat and walks out the door a little straighter*.

Changes Coming To The Blog And My Life

            I was originally just going to go over the changes to this blog with this post, but I thought I should go over some changes to my life as a whole as well. Mainly because the two are intertwined. Since what I am going to do here on the blog will effect what I do in real life as well. And, I think it will be a positive change as well. It isn’t going to happen overnight for the most part, but it will happen fairly quickly.

            First and foremost, in the next 24 hours I am rearranging my room. It has been put off for far too long. In preparation for that happening I am cleaning off my nightstand tonight. I hope to have my CPAP machine set up when my bed is switched around as well as a better study space. It is imperative this get done so quickly since I am getting a new piece of furniture Saturday for a tv to be put on.

            I’m also selling off a couple of electronics since I don’t need them anymore as well. I am selling off my External Harddrive and my External Blue-Ray Drive. I have more than enough storage for what I need now with other services that are affordable. And, I have other movie services as well as buying digital movies. Along with digital music as well. That also reminds me that I have to go through and organize my wish lists on Amazon tonight.

            Yes, I have a big wish list that has accumulated over time on Amazon. Mostly because I have limited funds. Eventually it will shrink when I get a bigger income. And, some is just different copies of the same basic item that I have yet to decide on. I am going to work on narrowing the list down though. As well as eliminating items I already have. It takes time though but I will get there eventually. I also have to narrow my focus on books to a degree.

            That brings me to this blog. It is going to get more crazy in a sense. It will start next week when I get my Nintendo 3DS hopefully. I am going to start reviewing video games. But, I am not stopping there. I am also going to start reviewing tv and movies as well. I could use some feedback on tv on whether I should review the whole show or seasons of the show and then do the whole show once it has ended as a whole.

            I am not going to do reviews all the time though and I will still review books though. One of which is coming up soon. You will still hear about me as well as get my take on politics and other things. I am not just becoming a reviewer. But, this does give me a chance to enjoy computer games, video games, movies, and tv shows more as research for here. I also will be adding tabletop gaming reviews including each new block of Magic The Gathering to the block in time as well.

            As you can see there is a lot going on. Including me trying to get a gaming night going on for Saturday Nights in the coming month. Might take a little working, but I think I can pull it off. I’ve also got a few places to visit during the week as well in my researching on things like comics which I count under books as well. And, I will talk about various issues of magazines as a whole from time to time as well. I know that is a lot and might lead to some double postings as well at times. Hopefully you don’t get sick of me.

            I think that covers most of it, and I have rambled on long enough for one day. And, as more comes up you will hear about it. Feel free to leave questions and comments as always. As for me I am going to get to work on those wish lists and then do some more reading and studying. *Tips his hat and walks out the door still a bit hunched over*.

A Break From My Heartache To Look At Something Else

            Now as much as my heartache is still there and I would like to dwell on it more. The world still does spin around. Just not in a way that we feel normally. Anyways back to where I was heading. According to Time Magazine Trevor Noah said that the older generation was a me generation. And, that is not entirely true or false. After all it is hard to classify any generation under one umbrella. There can be a trait similar to what seems like the majority but doesn’t describe all of a generation after all.

            Now granted many of the Baby Boomer Generation as they are known are approaching retirement age and a lot of them want what they were promised so many years ago. I can see how some would say they are a me generation. But, they worked hard for what they are asking for and made the country better, and some even after getting that are continuing to make the country better. They vote how they always have believing it is still the same as always.

            Maybe what needs to happen is the younger generation needs to educate the older generation so they understand what is actually in the best interest for them and everyone around them. I know how it is to be set in your ways at times and how it takes a wakeup call to get shaken out of it. It is up to son and daughters and grandchildren to educate their elders on the reality of the world around them. That way they can work better together.

            A lot of what the older generation is listening to out there is propaganda. They need to know how to do their own research in this digital age. And, how to recognize a reliable source from a nonreliable source. And, that can be hard in this day and age. Everyone wants their point of view heard. Even me as an editorialist and reviewer. You have to take in the information and dissect it for yourself most of the time.

            And, some of the older generation knows no other lifestyle other than working and is upset that they can’t work anymore. The younger generation can help here as well with channeling that energy into helping with mentoring programs as well as other volunteer programs that can use them. Just because the older generation is older doesn’t mean they are useless either. Just that they have to transition into other forms of working that society still values.

            For some hobbies that they have been meaning to get to might be the way to go as well. Like some of that fishing they have been meaning to get to for so many years. For others, it is something else that they have put off for years. And, trust me I understand the wanting to work more than anyone. This blog is part of my work. And, for some maybe they can work on family history for instance. Or religion even. I can’t speak for everyone because there are so many possibilities out there.

            But, I have rambled on enough for one post especially after those huge ones the past couple of days. And, I plan to have another one up later today detailing some changes to the blog. I think you will like them. Feel free to leave questions and comments as always. As for me I have a few things to research before bed and some schoolwork to do. *Tips his hat and walks out the door standing a bit straighter*.
