Security

I have money for roof over my head and for food in my stomach.

I need a goal.
I need a goal which will provide security.
I need a plan of action to attain this goal.

I need to marinate the hamburger.

Argh.

My PC’s hard drive is making those “click of death” noises. I swear to bob, I need to just abandon PC’s altogether and replace my piece ‘o shit with a Mac when I get some money. *SIGH* The only problem is that I’d once again be stuck going to the labs for Grapevine.

Someone did suggest coding a Mac version of it. I wonder if I have the skillz.

My dad should be here in about fifteen minutes. I usually expect him a half an hour early. Wonder what happened.

Cake and Pie

Edgy and tension-filled, soon I’m going to snap. It’s come full-circle again, and the image of the female form won’t leave my mind. This time, it started with that dream. That dream, where the woman I loved didn’t exist. That goddamn dream.

Letting go of the past would help, as there’s always bits of the past that jump ahead into the future. I try to squash the little bastards wherever I find them, but they’re sneaky little fucks. Thinking about last year, or the year before that, or… well, it doesn’t help at all.

Things that people need to know:
: Sleep, damn you! ;) And tell George, “Damn! Now THAT’s an ass!”

: Please stop contacting me. If you can’t find , he’s probably avoiding you. He does that a lot. Just do what you need to do and don’t depend on him. Your life would be much easier that way.

: There is something that doesn’t want to tell you, but you deserve to know.

: You. Me. AfterNow. Dig it.

: We should plan to hang out sometime soon.

Things that persist.

I’m listening to Sean Kennedy, The Fucking Man, on Rant Radio. Dig it.

There’s this man who wants to be more than he is. He knows that he already is what he wants to become, and that the path to becoming will lead to no change at the fundamental level. He knows this, and trods his path anyway. The path is what’s important to him, you see.

He guards his territory fiercely, sometimes even from those that he lets in. Sometimes, he needs to just be alone. Luckily, those around him recognize this. Sometimes it only happens after he starts to freak out, but it always happens. He worries, mostly needlessly, about offending others when he needs to be alone.

Sometimes I want to pull out my hair about the obviousness of things.

[AD&D – Dualiar] Part 7

This is the seventh and final part from a story I was writing a long, long time ago. It’s unfinished… I hate leaving things unfinished, even this from all those years ago. Oh, well. *SHRUG*

“Where to start, where to start. More appropriately, I suppose, is where to continue. Heh. Well, I guess we should continue from the beginning. Usually the best place. Let’s see, basically, there’s this Reality, which some call the Near, and all others, which some call the Far. Makes sense, doesn’t it? Now, this reality, as all do, contains an infinite number of Planes of Existence. What’s a Plane of Existence? Well, some call them Dimensions, some call them Planes, we can think of them as different universes, each of which have their own rules, their own laws, and are so varied and unlike each other that it’s impossible to even begin to describe them. Anyway, Creation is a Plane of Existence. This Plane, as many others in this reality do, began as a void, a vacuum. Then someone from the Far (another reality) named Cerin Falder, with his immense power, created what we now know as Creation. He created one system of two suns and two planets. One which is Holdrox, and the other which is Sentrolf. On Sentrolf, Cerin mimicked a world from this own reality, but on Holdrox, he decided to be creative. Hey! Wake up, there! This little bit of history is important! Anyway, on Holdrox, he created many things, races, continents, and the like. After hundreds of years of happiness and prosperity, evil creatures began appearing everywhere both on Holdrox and on Sentrolf. Puzzled, Cerin decided to investigate. After many years, he discovered that the source of these evil creatures was Creation itself. What? You still don’t understand? Hmph. I might as well be trying to explain the complexities of a Magic Missile spell to a rock.”

Now that the battle was over, the party didn’t see any reason to stay together. Even Illent Des felt that they could accomplish no more together. Illent began the journey for more adventure with a wrenching headache. Questions plagued him. The whole battle became a blurred memory to him. None of the faces were clear, none of the names could be remembered. Finally, after an eternity of throbbing pain, Illent reached a small town, at the edge of a dark and gloomy forest. The headache seemed to get stronger with every step, so Illent headed to the tavern. Stumbling in the door, he was hardly aware of his surroundings. The stares from the patrons and from the serving wenches were invisible to him. He paid for his room and guzzled an ale, stumbled to his room, and crashed headlong on his cot. Sleep came slowly, not discerning itself from waking. Even the throbbing headache followed him into his dreams. Nightmares of hideous monsters, swords, insane parodies of his friends, and the body of that absent-minded elf, Cerin. He was there, in a room with the body. The stench was overpowering. It wasn’t just a stench of death, but of pure evil. He looked around the room but could find nothing. Looking down at the body again, there was something different, something wrong. The eyes were open. Dead, fiery eyes stared back at Illent Des, with a why, sarcastic smile. The body got up, groping for Illent. A scream tore through him, and he awoke. Drenched in sweat, he no longer craved sleep. Deciding to rise and get another ale, he turned to get up out of his cot.

“It’s about time you woke up.”

Good Morning

There’s a slight pressure originating from inside my noggin that presses outward. This is a grogginess thing that usually goes away when I take a shower. I should take a shower.

I’ve removed Linux from my machine. I’m sorry, , but RedHat 7.2 just wasn’t working like I needed it to. One of my main apps looks like it will only run under windows, and I don’t really want to go to the trouble of having both OS’s on a 6-gig drive. I’d have to log out for the damn thing to unmount my zip drive as well. Just too much.

Today is likely to be a bit of a tilt-o-whirl. Hopefully the cotton candy and hot dogs won’t come back up on me. I swear there’s something wierd about this . Heheheheheh.
