I have a bazillion hobbies. I have always found myself wanting to try out something, and if I like it I will get really into it. Because of this I have started to become quite the jack of all trades when it comes to hobbies. The other day, an idea popped into my head to take artistic photos of my various hobbies. It’s kind of along the lines of “Do what you know”. I am not even going to attempt to list all of them, you will just have to wait and see.
I have a gallery posted for my Obsessions and all of the pictures will be loaded there. You can also find them on Flickr. Here are a few that I have doe so far:
Yeah well, it’s winter time (or at least it still feels like it) and not a lot happens. The real story here is that I was pretty sick for a while. All Respiratory stuff so I was wiped out from just climbing stairs. I am just starting to feel better so things may pick back up. It weird, I had a ton of stuff I was working on and then I got sick and bam….nothing. So now I get to play catch up. There is some work to do on my Batman costume, I want to build new gauntlets for my Nightwing, pick back up with drumming…. The list goes on. 
I also picked up Bully: The Scholarship Edition. This game is hilarious! The hoopla about it is overblown by people who have never played the game. On that note, I hate hate hate these people that get on TV and go to the press saying how these games are ruining our children and setting a bad example, yet they haven’t bothered to actually try the game or see what it is about. Bully is a great example of that. They say it teaches kids to be bullies and pick on younger kids. It’s also been called a “Columbine Simulator”. Yet, in the game, if you try and pick on a younger kid, you get pounced by the prefects, there are no guns, and the over all goal is to STOP bullies and let all of the students get along. Not to mention that, along the way, there are classes you have to attend and they actually TEACH real subjects. Things like English, Math, Geography, Biology, etc. Maybe that’s what happened is that some 50 year old Lawyer tried to play the game and got frustrated when he couldn’t find Botswana on the map!
So many things going on I feel a bit un-organized. There is still so much to go through and I am feeling un-motivated. We need to get organized really bad. 
Lee and Doc convinced me to give Star Wars Galaxies another try. I haven’t touched the game in 4 years. A lot has changed but most of it still has that familiar feeling. I really missed the space combat and it still feels awesome. We’ll see how this progresses.
Ok so with all the hustle and bustle of the move I have left out a few things that have happened along the way. I have been just too wiped out or neurotic to do any posting. I say neurotic because I have been trying my damndest to get all un-packed and stuff put away. One thing for sure, we need more art. The walls are pretty bare and most of what I have for art is geek related. Since we are trying to contain the geek to the rec room (with minor spillage) it’s is kind of limiting. Mostly the frustration is just with the last few boxes of random stuff that was the last to come over. Mostly just things that should stay in a box and get thrown out next move but I need to go through them anyways. I also need to Sort through the storage room and reorg it so everything is accessible.
On the gaming side I have been sending some attention towards three games. 1: Uncharted for the PS3. The game is beautiful and funny! 2: Half Life 2 Episode 2 (now with gnomey goodness!) and 3: Burnout Paradise! Each of them is great in their own regards and have helped me de-stress when I needed it. The only real problem I have now is that the TV, that was perfect for the apartment at a 37 inch size, now is kind of small in the townhouse and it’s a bit farther away from the couch so…..sigh.. I need my glasses on to see it. I have an eye appointment on Saturday so maybe I can get some new cooler lighter glasses.
