'Tis the season

I’m off to celebrate the Christmas with family, so I’d like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas. Oh Yeah, that’s right, I said it: Merry Christmas. No politically correct nonsense here on this website. You can go to Starbucks or any other retailer to get the ambiguous Happy Holidays greetings.

…Ah, what the hey, I’m in a cheerful mood. Just so no ones left out:
Merry Christmas!
Happy Hanukkah!
Happy Kwanzaa!
Happy Festivus!
Happy Holidays!

Serious just for a sec

With Thanksgiving just passed by, I figured it would be appropriate to let everyone out there who is reading this dumb little personal website of mine know just how lucky I am, even though things don’t usually line up the way I’d like. I’m not the type to be all preachy about things, so I won’t, but this year I feel more grateful for what I have more than ever before.

Ok, the regular shallow topics I like to discuss will return tomorrow.

Show ‘em what you got

One thing I like about this new place is there’s enough space to fit the majority of my gaming collection together in one place, along with other media like DVDs, Blu-rays, books, and magazines. A bit embarrassing because it’s near the front door for all to see, but I guess ones hobbies tend to show themselves at some point so might as well show them it as soon as they enter.

Consider it the coolest nerd corner in southern California.

Back from the other side

Moving sucks.

I’m finished moving to my one bedroom apartment and helping my brother move around. The last few days have now been figuring out how to arrange the furniture, but it’s been challenging because this new place doesn’t have a large walk-in closet like my previous places did to store away much of my belongings. Meaning: I have too much crap! So I’ve been doing a big purge by donating clothes to Goodwill, dropping off books at a nearby book store, and throwing out useless stuff I’ve been accruing over the years. Part of me doesn’t want to part with anything (that’s why I kept everything), but for every bag of junk I toss out of my life I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I’m sure this feeling has to be the ecstasy minimalists love to feel.

Content for the site should start again soon. Probably next week.

For the kids

Still getting ready to move out, but just in case any kids happen to wander to our door on Halloween looking for candy, at least I’ll have a bags worth to hand out. But this year I’m limiting it to just one bag because last year no kids came to our door, or any of our neighbor’s too and we were stuck with four bags of candy to eat through. In fact, we got so desperate towards the end of the night that we were planning to dump a whole bag on the first lucky kid who would knock on our door. But alas, it never happened.

I’m guessing all the kids go up the hill to where all the fancy, tract houses are at where they probably hand out full size candy bars. If that’s the case, then no way are kids going to waste their time trick-or-treating at an apartment complex. I wouldn’t blame them if that were the case. I’d do the same thing, too.

Disorganized

Part 6 and the final entry for the Art of Pogs feature: loose.
