I am going to be lazy.

Okay, as of late I have been dealing with a lot of internet conectivity issues which has made it difficult to keep this blog updated.

What's new:

I decided to scrap the review I was going to do on Rune Scape, and instead will sum it up with one word; crap. The game has become complete and utter crap, its the only free MMO that actually penalizes and limits what free players can do, which I think is completely againgst what Rune Scape originally stood for. As for their claim that they are the "best free MMO," I have to challenge that because it is anything but. I've played better Korrean F2P games than Rune Scape.

Pros: Game has come a long way in terms of graphics and such.

Cons: Good graphics does not a good game make. From a lack of varity in gear types and generally boring combat and stale gathering skills this time sink does not have a whole lot to offer. Plus the disappoint lack of healing spells makes the game rather frustrating because your only option is to carry food with you.

Maybe I am rambling? I thought I'd share my displeasement with the game.

One last thing:

Last Saturday I was at the Jupiter Light House for the "International Light House On the Air," event. The weather and location were great, the propagation, not so much. I did more opporating than I did last year, but for the most part I just got frustrated with the condition and spent a lot of time doing other things like swimming, setting up gear, and lazying about in our motor home (Yep, we brought home with us).

The furthest contact I think I made during the whole contest was a Light House in Peuto Rico, W4L. Which was cool, I also made a few more contacts after that but for the most part found myself just chatting with the noise.

Was it fun? Yep.

Do I have pictures? Those are coming.

Notice: I wrote this on my mobile phone.

If I had a Nickle for Every Damn Dime, I'd Have Half the Time... (Musical Wednesday)

Your Life:

I want to start off by saying that Modest Mouse has to be one of my favorite bands. I know there are people out there who claim that they have sold out, but for some reason I still really like their music, even if it is a bit repetitive and sometimes just down right bad at times. I guess in some ways their music reminds me of driving around town with my brother in his beat-up Honda Civic.

My brother moved 3,000 miles away recently, he's living out in Colorado, so in a way, Modest Mouse is standing in for the void that he left, and it brings me back to the time when he was at least 30 miles away.

Enough about my brother though, onto the song. This song sticks with me because it acknowledges something that most of us are afraid to admit, that if we could have anything we wanted, in a perfect world, we would still find a way to be unhappy or disappointed. Looking back, even at my own life, I tell you I have a lot of regrets, things that I wish I had handled differently, or things that I could have done to prevent my current situation, but what I have found is that dwelling on that stuff only drags me down and makes it harder for me to move forward with myself. 

So maybe I am frustrated and perturbed but I keep moving forward, looking eagerly to the next day. I realize everything is temporary, and that things will either change for the better or worse and that I cannot control it, so instead I just accept things as they are and continue with my life. Enough about that though, listen to the song, tell me what you think, and if you would like to hear more of it.
