 Drove 200kms today, climed one mountain, went caving... fell down small cliff inside of cave.  Saw Ironman.
Yup another day in my life.

OZYMANDIAS

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.[1]

Driving along I was thinking about funerals, and music to go with.  I had A tout le monde from Megadeth running through my head (why I was thinking of funerals) and moved on to trying to explain some of the concepts behind it, and then thought more about the concepts themselves.  What are you? what are we? from a technical point of veiw not much more than some animated meat moving around, what makes people different?  what makes you you? sure most bodies are slightly different but what makes you you?  Thinking about it, I figure its memories, its the experiances you have and the memories that you retain that make you you, everything you do from how you react to dogs, a hot fire or a lovers caress is your meat sack working with memories, good and bad.  from that point of veiw we are naught but memories, and how we are percived in other peoples eyes is how we live and who we are.  I have often said "do not let others dictate how you behave, always be yourself, if they do not like it, fuck 'em"  This still holds true perhaps even more so.  you will be rememberd, live on as it where in how people percive you, how will you be rememberd, good, bad? a kind lover? hated by the masses? what is the legacy you will leave to the world? will people write a wikipedea article on you?  it is the things you do today that you will be rememberd for, and that memory is life itself.  Perception people, its about wakeing up and perciving yourselves and others not just carrying on carrying on, its about doing more than just existing and getting by.  

On a slightly related topic check out hell.com and see how far you get without resorting to web searches and the wiki.  its all about thinking and creating memories, and some times, being rememberd.

<b>I Am A:</b> Neutral Good Human Sorcerer (5th Level)
<br><br><u>Ability Scores:</u><br>
<b>Strength-</b>14<br>
<b>Dexterity-</b>15<br>
<b>Constitution-</b>16<br>
<b>Intelligence-</b>13<br>
<b>Wisdom-</b>14<br>
<b>Charisma-</b>16
<br><br><u>Alignment:</u><br><b>Neutral Good</b> A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment because it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.<br>
<br><u>Race:</u><br><b>Humans</b> are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.
<br><br><u>Class:</u><br><b>Sorcerers</b> are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast.

Whew another weekend succesfully behind me and I can relax back here at work.  We just got back from our christmas dinner (at lunch) so full of meat and sugar... lifes good.


I keep hearing you're concerned about my happiness
But all that thought you're giving me is conscience, I guess
If I were walking in your shoes I wouldn't worry none
While you and your friends are worrying 'bout me, I'm having lots of fun

Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of 51
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothing to do

Last night I dressed in tails pretended I was on the town
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
So please don't give a thought to me I'm really doing fine
You can always find me here and having quite a time

Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of 51
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothing to do

It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete

Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of 51
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothing to do

Well its starting to get that way again, thanks to a friend at work I hae managed to find an old classic.
rather than post the entire thing, here is a link http://www.canadaka.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=10488  

Nightmare circle is coming up rapidly, plots and plans are being unfurled, still some confusion over players and who is and is not coming, but we will work out something.  If all else fails there are cliffs we can push the annoying ones off.

Heres the bit where I offer advice. yes its for you (by you I mean me, 'cause like  I will be the one reading this y'know?)

Rule 0
Live your life with out regret. 
If you make your choices in life based on the knowledge you have at the time, always take the best choice.  later on if you come to look back and say that it was a bad decision, it was still the best choice you could have made given what you knew.
Addendum, any choice is better than no choice.  Deliberitly choosing to do nothing is still a choice.

Rule 1
Don't get caught.
This goes for pretty much everything.  You can always claim credit later and the fact it was done with noone finding out will be seen as efficiency.

Rule 2
Have fun
Life is short, do not waste it

Rule 3
The little things are important
everything even the big things are made up of many smaller things.  The relationship you are in, your friendship with another, your costume at a LARP, all these have many components, look after them and the rest shall take care of itself.

Some advice from someone else.  Its always worked for me so far.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
-Lazarus Long,
“Love” is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
-Jubal Harshaw

There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him.
-Professor Bernardo de la Paz

It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics.
-Lazarus Long

If it can't be expressed in figures, it is not science; it is opinion.
-Lazarus Long

A fake fortuneteller can be tolerated. But an authentic soothsayer should be shot on site. Cassandra did not get half the kicking around she deserved. 
-Lazarus Long

Got the mood, got the groove, old time lines I know but the music does help keep me going
heading off to training followed by some novel writing type thing (graphic novel that is) then off to Jujuitsu followed by about 5-6 hours of getting requiem sorted for the next game. home by about 3-4 am
really going to need music to get through the day.  Just got back from pub lunch with workmates, nice poeple, but my life has a whole lot less problems and hasseles than theirs.
Decided to never grow up, apparently it makes you concenred worried and responsible.

A Little Less Conversation

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me baby

Baby close your eyes and listen to the music
Drifting through a summer breeze
It's a groovy night and I can show you how to use it
Come along with me and put your mind at ease

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me baby

Come on baby I'm tired of talking
Grab your coat and let's start walking
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Don't procrastinate, don't articulate
Girl it's getting late, gettin' upset waitin' around

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me baby

Sorry to my friends, will lean how to clip one day

Figured out what I will probably do with this journal.  Lyrics to the music in my head! thats right, head music.
and quotes.  Bound to be some of them around.

In the meantime

And in the end we shall achieve in time
The thing they call divine
When all the stars will smile for me
When all is well and well is all for all
And forever after
Maybe in the meantime wait and see

CHORUS

We love the all the all of you
Our lands are green and skies are blue
When all in all we're just like you
We love the all of you

And when I cry for me I cry for you
With tears of holy joy
for all the days you've still to come
And did I ever say I'd never play
Or fly toward the sun
Maybe in the meantime, something's gone

CHORUS
We love the all the all of you
Our lands are green and skies are blue
When all in all we're just like you
We love the all of you

Well that sounds fine so I'll see you sunshine
Give my love to the future of the humankind
Okay, okay, it's not okay.
While it's on my mind there's a girl that fits the crime
For a future love dream that I'm still to find
But in the meantime.

CHORUS
We love the all the all of you
Our lands are green and skies are blue
When all in all we're just like you
We love the all of you

By a band called space hog

Heh, I have a journal. a semi public one anyway.
Need to figure out how this stuff works, lots of buttons, none are big red and shiny though....
