Love

"Love is vastly overrated as a source of happiness. The first part of love is wonderful. You are as high as a kite on dopamine. Later, when the brain chemistry fades, it can become a source of much misery. No one can hurt you like a person you love can hurt you. No one will ever hate you as much as someone who once loved you. The death or disappearance of a loved one is truly horrible. The suicide of a loved one is unbearable pain that never goes away. The search for love is a frantic, depressing, frustrating experience that can go on for years.

Love is like heroin. When you are high there is nothing better. When you are crashing it is horrible. When you can't find it you are desperate. Enjoy the good days of love because the bad days will surely come."

That's something I found posted among other comments on a story on CNN.com. I find it pretty interesting. :/

Lonely

I'm tired of being so alone. It's like I have nobody at all.

Whoa.

Hm. Yeah. Time for an update, I suppose.

Found some new music to listen to. Five Finger Death Punch equals awesome! I need to find more stuff like them. Finally started listening to some of the Bruce Dickinson stuff I've got. So far, so good. Same with Motley Crue. I don't know why I didn't investigate these things earlier.

As far as everything else goes... Man, I dunno. I've been so busy with work lately. I'm also worn the fuck out. I need like, three days off to just recuperate. My knees hurt, my wrist hurts, my back hurts, I'm all bruised up... Feel like I fell off a damn bridge or some shit. :(

But hey, it'll be okay. Pain lets you know that you're alive. And in that case, I must be very much alive. Just gotta keep on truckin', can't let myself be stopped by little shit.

I need to start walking again. I need to do it for my health. I need to do it for myself. I need to do it for a lot of reasons. Gotta stop thinking about it, and actually fucking DO it.

That's about it for now.

Heh.

So I've decided that it's best if I just stop caring. Stop caring about anyone and anything that is not highly important, which cuts out a *lot* of people/things. Like the song goes, I don't care about anyone else but me. And I'd have it no other way.

Well then

I think I may have slightly sprained my ankle. Ain't this a bitch.

New Logo - Version 2

Huzzah, got a new logo again. I like this one a lot better than my old one. Damn it's fun to be messing with Photoshop again!

Desiiiiiiiiiiign

Man. So I've really been getting back into graphic design. I haven't really done it seriously in a few years, so I'm pretty rusty. Been looking at tutorials for Photoshop, learning how to do things, and playing around with settings and such. Should be getting some sample graphics I've done up here soon, maybe in the next day or so. Also, maybe thinking of making an actual website for myself. Only problem is both rogerholmes.com and rogerholmes.net are taken, sooooooo I've gotta figure out a name for my site. Ah well.

New Logo

Alright, well, after a little bit of dicking around in Photoshop, I've come up with a logo for my blog. It is most likely going to be a temporary logo. But for now... it will suffice.

Epic

Pac Man ghosts are awesome. Right there, fuckface. ------->

Zombieland

What a fucking awesome movie. I'm really glad to see Woody Harrelson back in a starring role. He was PERFECT for the movie.

The good old days

Ahh yes. The joys of harassing innocent folks in AOL's roleplaying chatrooms back in the day. I'm XI American Dream, and XI Broken Eulogy is an old buddy, Chris.

Ugh.

Man. Over the last couple of days, I've had to sudden urge to do more things computer related. Like.. maybe get back into programming or web design. >_< Maybe I should. At least as something to do in my spare time, for fun.

Oh yeah.

X-Box 360. Elite. Yup. It owns. :)

Oh billy

Yup. That's about it. For now, at least. Maybe tomorrow I'll get to sleep before 4am. Probably not, though... Even with nothing to do at night, I still, for some reason, find a reason to just sit at my computer and stare at the screen pointlessly. I should be sleeping earlier, by at least two hours. Maybe I should exercise instead of sitting here. Maybe... Ah, fuck it. I'll figure out a solution.

Oh dear...

Oh, wow. This is old school right here! I totally forgot I even had this blog, until I randomly decided to create one... Then I remembered! Maybe this time around, I'll actually manage to keep this thing updated regularly with random non-interesting insights into my daily life. Huzzah.

Fable!

Well, I bought Fable yesterday, and started playing it today. So far, I think its pretty damn good. The graphics are great, the voice acting is decent, along with the rest of the sound. Combat is actually pretty fun. It is basically a hack and slash, but that doesn't really matter to me. Your character has no trouble taking on a group of enemies, mainly because he can swing a sword like nobody's business. The magic is pretty cool. It's fun to toast a bandit with a fireball, and then beat him with a sword. :)

Since you start out as a child, in your hometown, you can only do but so much. Anyways, the first thing I did when I was free to roam my little village, which is called Oakvale, I beat the holy fucking SHIT out of a chicken. It was hilarious. The character kicks the chicken like a soccer ball, and feathers go flying. Oddly enough, the chickens don't die, no matter how many times you kick them. It's also funny to hit a random little kid, and they say something like "Hey, what was that for!?" or something to that effect.

My biggest complaint so far is how fast the game goes by. I have only played for about an hour and thirty-nine minutes, and I am an adult already! Of course, I could have held it off and roamed around the Guild hall where you train, but.. oh well.

Oh! I also bought a copy of the Transformers Movie! Sure, its from 1986, but it's still a hell of a good movie. I found a used copy after digging through all of the used DVD shelves at GameStop. =D! I also got a copy of Call of Duty: United Offensive. I haven't played it too much, but it is pretty badass. Since I am on the talk of games, I installed the Tribes: Vengeance multiplayer demo today too. Holy hell, is that game fun! You're limited to four maps, but oh well. Using the Grappler is just sweet, since you can swing all over the place, provided the map has the appropriate terrain. I think I may buy the full version.

Hmm.. what else. I think that is about all I have to say for right now. So until next time, goodnight!

Asskissing gives you better results than hardwork!

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this:

What makes 100%?

What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about these people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been to these meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%

How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions.

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H A R D W O R K

8+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

K N O W L E D G E

11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But:

A T T I T U D E

1+20+20++9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And:

B U L L S H I T

2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, Look how far ass kissing will take you.

A S S K I S S I N G

1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that whilst hard work and knowledge will get you close, and attitude will get you there, it's the bullshit and ass kissing that will put you over the top.



I found this while surfing Slashdot today. The comment I found it in is located here. I found it to be quite funny. :)

Jesus Christ...
I saw the Berg execution video the other night. My friend from work told me it was gruesome, and damn was he right. It was completely disgusting. I hope we find and kill all the animals responsible for this shit. You could also blame Bush for this, because without Bush's stupid little war, that guy would be at home, with his family, with his head still on. That's my take on it, anyways.

Schweet. I added a new graphic over on the right to my blog. If you're against Bush, check out the site I got the graphic from, The Pledge '04.

Work tomorrow is going to be interesting to say the least. One of our managers left for a couple months this week, so we're getting some replacement guy named Bill. He better be an alright manager, and not Bill the Bitch. -_-

And holy fuck, tonight was hilarious. After work, me and two of my friends were in the parking lot goofing around. There is an abandoned car in the parking lot that has been sitting there for damn near a fucking year. There's old violation notices on it, and the inside of it is filled with trash. The damn car has been beaten, shot with a pellet gun, kicked, spit on, rained in, snowed in, had trash thrown in it, and all kinds of stuff. Surprisingly, it hasn't been towed away yet. I'm not sure why, but anyways. I pointed out that it looked like someone hit the trunk of it with a baseball bat, and my friend comes running over and kicks the car, putting a dent in the door panel. My other friend then threw his drink into the car through the back window. Since there was a shopping cart out there nearby, I suggested that my friend shove the cart into the car. He slammed it against the rear bumper, but it didn't do anything. Then he ran about 30 feet across the parking lot with the shopping cart and let it SLAM into the side of the car. A beer bottle that was in the cart went flying up and landed about 20 feet away. We fucking cracked up so bad. My friend rammed the cart into the car again, and we laughed again. I got the bright idea of putting the shopping cart on top of the car, so my two friends ran over there and lifted the cart onto the car. It didn't stay up there though, and it crashed onto the ground. I'm disappointed it didn't, but oh well. Afterwards we all ran off to get away from the "scene", if you will. One friend ran back into work, I got in my truck and drove off, as did my other friend. Hopefully we'll have some more stupidly good times soon.

More troops?
Bleh. What the fuck. According to this article over at CNN, the Pentagon plans to deploy 10,000 active duty soldiers along with 37,000 National Guard and Reserve troops. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. After all, we're going to be over there for quite a while. Even though the plan is to transfer power to an Iraqi council or something in June, we're going to have to stay there to maintain the peace and shit. That means more of our troops will be coming home in body bags. All because Bush had to go after Iraq, because they were "so dangerous." In the words of Chris Rock, "If they're so dangerous, how come it only took two weeks to take over the whole fucking country? You couldn't take over Baltimore in two weeks!" They weren't dangerous! Bush and Co. only wants the oil. Fuck Bush. I'm voting for John Kerry in November.
