and I’m posting again!

Here’s a recap of the past eight months:

-Moved again.

-Will be moving again within a few months due to many factors, of of which is this house cannot retain heat or air and the combined gas and electric bill last month was over $900, plus the water bill is pretty big when it shouldn’t be.

-Landlord is just as lazy about keeping the house in working order as multiple other landlords of past; even WITH a big family that supposedly “helps” with keeping their properties in order.

-Drama, of the personal variety.

It’s been over a month since my last post, blah, blah, blah. I’m being lazy and life is kicking my ass, nothing blog worthy is happening right now and I’m currently fluctuating between “this world is shit, I hate everything” and “everything’s A-Ok” mindsets for no reason or very little reason. Plus, I’m fucking bored as hell. I own multiple games that I have not beaten and instead of playing them, I say “fuck it” and continue being bored/apathetic.

I’ll post again whenever.

I was being lazy for a month. I played Tales of Vesperia, .hack // Infection, Poke’Mon Soul Silver and I started a hard mode playthrough of Batman: Arkham Asylum and began posting it on my Youtube channel.

Aside from using a few Poke’Mon I never gave a second thought to, nothing has really happened. I’ve picked up work on an RPG Maker VX project I’ve been sporadically fiddling with for a few months, but most of what I’ve done is writing up a rough timeline of events and plot points.

Other than that, I’ve got nothing to post about. Guess I’ll post again in a week or two.

Random Thought of The Day: Icing out of the can makes for tasty desert.

So, I’m all moved into the new place, with a few boxes left to unpack and a bit of re-arranging to do. I’ve had internet since being moved in, but no computer desk until a little over a week ago.

…I did not have fun building it from the ground up. The keyboard drawer fell off when I moved it into place(my fault entirely, should have put the drawer in after moving it), and one of the cabinet doors is not being used because one of the hinges doesn’t want to work like it should.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and Megaman 10 kept me from updating all of last week. Phoenix Wright is awesome and I went from being neutral to being a giddy fan in a matter of minutes. I think playing it on a 42 inch LCD TV had something to with that. The epic music sealed the deal.

Random Thought of the Day: I could pass for Marvin Grossberg if I had an orange suit, dyed my hair gray, and got a fake mustache.

-The drunkard, pill stealing, money stealing bitch of an aunt called up and said come Sunday…this Sunday we had to be out of the house.

-Shit hit the fan, arguments were had, drama was still running rampant…finally ending after two weeks of non-stop, mind numbing, soul crushing fun.

-Was told by the uncle who is hiding behind a “I’m throwing some money your way, set it up so you were only paying for groceries and cable while you were here and keeping you informed about everything, plus I’m distancing myself from this and putting the place in my drunkard sister’s name so it’s her problem and I’m not liable for her fuck ups, so can we forget the fact that I helped set up the whole deal that ended up screwing you guys?” crap that we have until next week and the drunkard aunt was just trying to stir up more shit.

-We found a decent place and are hopefully going to be out of here by next Thursday. There’s a chance it will be rent-to-own, that’s a huge plus.

Kinda long for a summary, but I left out a whole mess of backstabbing family bullshit that’s completely irrelevant at this point.

Random Thought of the Day(because I’ve got some weird, amusing, insightful thoughts that pop into my head on a regular basis and felt the need to share them): “Are Chicken McNuggets an illegal substance now? Since they’ve switched to %100 white meat, I’ve become addicted to them…in the ‘I need a fix every couple of weeks or I will have withdrawals’ way.

So, for slightly over a year, I have shared a home with my father and step mother. Scroll down a few posts to see the main reason why.

…Did you read the post with a similar name? Good, now here’s all the bullshit that’s been added to the pile that has somehow become my life.

For the last seven years, I have had this on again, off again live with father and his wife scenario going on. I’ve lived with them, moved out but stayed close, lived with them again and moved out again. This was due to financial reasons. Both parties were better off when sharing the bills and such…financially. Emotionally, I was, and still am a ticking time bomb. Lately, I’ve gotten tired of the shit thrown my way all because I had to the good guy and grin and bear it. In the last seven years, I have moved nine times, been in ten different houses and a duplex. There was a mooching niece(step mother’s granddaughter), four landlords who did not want to do their jobs, a kitchen corner that I had to sleep in, a basement infested with bugs that flooded three times that I slept in, a hallway three feet away from a bathroom that I slept in, on a twin mattress shoved in the corner. There’s more, but it’s mentioned in a previous post or two.

Recently, being the decent person I am, I agreed to move in with my grandmother on my father’s side, with my father and his wife of course. This was after my wonderful aunt was booted out. Apparently, she had been stealing money and meds from grandma and grandpa for herself, and half the groceries bought for them went to her jailbird son who was out of prison, but got sent back a few days ago. She put her stealing into high gear after grandpa died. The move happened back in November. Three out five of the kids(one aunt and two uncles) put their heads together and came up with a plan. That plan was to screw my father, his wife and me over by guilting us into moving up here. Oh sure, there was talk of us living with grandma until she passed, and us getting the place. Apparently that was a ruse. The two uncles and one aunt knew she would throw a fit and want to be put into a home, thus requiring the house to be sold to pay for her to live there…if it was in her name. It’s in one of the uncle’s names but he has a lawyer on retainer for some drama his daughter went through with some state official’s son and according to him, if he doesn’t get rid of the house he can’t get a condo in Florida because apparently a person can’t have two properties in their name(he’s giving his house to his daughter). I’m not a lawyer, but I call bullshit on that.

Adding to the shit pile, my screw up aunt is talking to grandma again thanks to the other nosy aunt who lives in fucking Oregon, thousands of miles away. Now she’s got it in grandma’s head that she should move back here and let her move back in too. Grandma claims to have alzheimer’s, and she does, only it’s not that bad. She gets a bit confused, but she remembers everything she’s said, and flipping out. She knows she’s pretty much started more drama that may fuck us over.

So, come March, we’re going to be moving for the tenth time. There is a small silver lining though. We’re going with a rent-to-own option this time. Hopefully, this is the last move for quite a few years.

Summary of everything that’s happened in the last eight months:

-The Grandma(my mom’s side) that played a major part in raising me died.

-War Hero Grandpa(dad’s side) whom I respected quite a lot died.

-Grandpa(mom’s side) that played a major part in raising me( I shucked corn, snapped green beans and picked vegetables from the garden with him on a regular basis) died.

-Moved twice.

-Dealt with mass quantities of family drama.

Yeah…it’s been a shitty year all around.

Okay, so the last post was a saved draft that I never published. Now it’s time for a brand new post.

So that whole “I’m going with a personal site” decision I made nearly a year ago was a mistake. It felt way forced. I tried another blog, that died in two days. Then I floated around the net, mostly lurking, posting at a forum here and a forum there, uploaded more videos to Youtube, took a short break from that and wound up back here.

The reason for my return? I came to the realization that some unboxing videos have the ability to lull into a state of relaxation and I wanted to post about it. I’m tossing around the idea of doing a weekly segment about the weird musings and quirks that define me.

Feels good to be posting again.

Before anyone decides to hunt me down and castrate me, hear me out first. I’m all for equality, really, I am. But this “Women deserve to be treated with the same respect as men”, “I’m a girl, so therefore I deserve special treatment” crap needs to stop. Pick one, and stick with it. You can’t have it both ways, and bitching about the downside to being treated as a man’s equal is pure bullshit when you raised a stink about not being treated as an equal in the past.

While I can accept that there is room for an exception or two, I’ve only seen a mass of hypocrites bitching about not being equals, and then whining about not receiving special treatment. Yes, women deserve the same benefits as men, yes, they deserve to be treated with respect, but they don’t deserve to demand money, gifts and special treatment because, and I quote: “I’m a girl, you have to do nice things for me and buy me expensive crap, even though I’m going sleep around and treat you like shit”.

I rant about this now, but in ten years, I’ll probably have learned that being a level headed male who brings this up more than once results in being slapped. Maybe.

Anybody object to this thing being resurrected? No? Good. I need a place to vent and I still have a soft spot for this blog.

I wanted a personal site again, so I made one: Draconis Central. That is where I’ll be for the time being. I’m done hopping around for quite a while(seriously, I am. Well, unles someone offers to build an actual HTML website for me within the next year). I will keep this blog up until I decide if I want to copy paste anything to the the new site.

and I was not invited. Instead, my computer crapped out, it was April before I got it fixed, and family issues popped up along the way. After that, I downloaded the trial vesion of City of Heroes, and here I am.

So…CoH is awesome. So awesome, that I bought the full game and intend to pay the monthly fee. I may even do a weekly or bi-weekly update of my progress in the game. Any info about any of my five characters will be in these updates.

 

 

 

…That’s it. I’ve nothing to rant about at the moment.
