Rantings of a Sane madman

We will be right back, after a message from these fine advertisers!

2010-11-10T11:59:00.000-08:00

Wow. I have not put something here in ages, (percent of my blog posts that start this way: 90% I am THAT lame) so I figured it was high time to get off of my lump, and get bloggin.

Of course, I am going to write this post and feel accomplished, so you aren't going to hear anything for MONTHS on end, and then I will basically copy and paste this statement, and post it all over again. [/runOnSentence]

Ok, on to serious business. I am still working in mobile phones for Verizon wireless, that has not really changed at all. I enjoy it here, and like what I do, but lemme tell you, there are days where I would just like to close the door here, and skip town. I mean I drive a little truck, I am sure that a tank of gas could get me at LEAST three hundred miles away! Hmm.

Man I spent like the last five minutes thinking about that. It would be AWESOME, but also FISCALLY IRRESPONSIBLE, and plain Irresponsible. There is no good way to spin that, in a positive light. I don't even have a cool story like: "Oh, I am running from a Texas ranger, because, I once killed a man in Florida." Hm. Actually. That would make for a decent story. I mean it has been done a little, but still. I can make it work.

ANYWAY, I bought a truck! It is a red 97 Ford Ranger with like 99k miles on it, and has been in a major accident! (the accident was BEFORE I bought it, so all is well) I actually really love my truck. I mean as beat up as she is, it is my first car. I never thought I would be the type to get all attached to a car, but right now the only thing I like more than my truck, is the person who plays passenger the most in it. (Listening to Rosanna on the Ipod. \m/ go Toto)

That passenger of course being Aurielle, AKA Girlfriend. AKA awesome. AKA, Cute. AKA, one of the best things to happen to me right now (the other, of course, is Egg Nog being back in stores for the holidays! :D ). So that is totally awesome. I dated her a while ago, then started dating someone else, and that ended terribly, so once I was finally over it, I started dating Aurielle again, and yeah. [/RunOnSentence2] (Danger zone, oh Random On my Ipod, Thou art interesting!)

I really can not come up with much else to report. I have taken on a new maxim: I am On this side of the dirt, so I really can not complain, nor should I. It started as a way to open a sales pitch, and now I am kinda believing it. Go figure.

until next time Adventurers!

I am not allowed to have money anymore.

2010-07-20T10:17:00.000-07:00

guys. I just bought the Guild Wars, Factions Collector's edition, AND, Guild Wars Eye of the North.

I paid 55.00 for it. Because I had to have next day shipping.

someone please take my debit card from me, before I spend again!

A new tale

2010-07-15T12:06:00.000-07:00

Ok, so this is something that has been bouncing around in my head for a while, and I have no concrete plans for it. at all. In fact it seems as I type, what I wanted to write is leaving RAPIDLY.

that said, uh, here goes nothing.

There was a Breeze that morning. I will always remember the breeze. It carried the smell of a cooking fire, burning pine... the smell of the trees, and the lake... It was something of a perfect moment. Those few moments in life where time stands still. I had just woken up, and I knew everything, for a moment, was perfect.

Of course, that is when I woke up for real. I sat up in my one bedroom, apartment and looked around. I was still in bed, and my alarm was bleating that horrible monotone song that it sang every morning at six am. For a moment I thought I caught the sound of that breeze again, but it was just the AC kicking on. I Pulled myself out of bed, and got myself ready for the day. The odd thing was this dream kept staying with me. All day I caught the scent of Pine, the smell of a fire, and cooking fish. It was so real! I was not so sure that I was even actually awake... was this the dream? Was I out in the woods, camping, and dreaming about this standard existence? I imagine if Plato, or Socrates was here I would maybe feel like I was making sense with my metaphysical style of thinking.

I noticed that my phone had a message, it was simple, just a text, from a number I have never seen before. One Line.

"It was ALL real. See you when you sleep again."

I had no Idea what to believe. Was it a joke? a Text sent to the totally wrong number? I tried to call, whoever this was... the phone rang... and rang again, the tones dull, and repetitive. Finally an answer! "doo Dee deep, Im sorry, the number you have dia-" I hung up. If it was real, then why did the number not work... I slid my phone open and replied to the text. "Oh it was was it? What was all real? you? the dream? or is this all my imagination playing tricks on me?" I hit the send button and will confess I expected an immediate response, but nothing. I found myself remembering the dream, slipping back to that forest... Taking a deep breath and smelling the pine again. Was I there? I shook my head and it all dissipated.

My phone was ringing, "Hello? Yes this is he. No, no, I am not interested. I prefer to stay in my own city. No, I do not ever travel. Wait what!?" My heart skipped, about thirty beats. She said "sure you like leaving the house, you were camping just last night!" I stood there for a minute. Not saying anything. "I told you, It was all real. Now then, you are going to be late, Ill see you tonight... sleep well!" The line went dead. "I'm losing my mind" I mused out loud. it was all so strange. then again, was it totally unimaginable? Totally impossible that I left my house and was on some elaborate camping trip? Or was this all some mind game I was playing with my self. I walk down the stairs and head out to my car, almost expecting there to be mud on the tires, and body, evidence of a camping trip, but there was nothing, not even a stray pine needle. I jump in and start it up. The gas gauge sends out a beep, that I should head for fuel. "What...? I just filled that up... two days ago." Things just keep getting curiouser, and curiouser. I turned on the radio, "This weekend only! The biggest use-KASERRTHCHH Stop pretending this was a dream! You were there with me! Don't you remember me?"

Got some stuff to handle, more later!

Tempus Fugit

2010-05-17T18:40:00.000-07:00

Time, does indeed fly.

I have been thinking about that a lot lately. It moves much faster than I would like to admit to sometimes. I mean just a year ago, I was sitting in Belle Plaine Iowa, on a mission for my church. Two years ago, I was in Macy, Nebraska, doing the same. Five years ago, I was still in High School.

Five years. Dang. I mean it sure only seems like it was a few weeks, at MOST a few months ago. I dunno its just weird. I can remember people telling me that Time would fly once I turned 18, and Doggone it, they were right! I know that this is a totally strange blog, with this reminiscence and all, but hey I am 21! I HAVE A RIGHT.

I also realize that I am still young, and I really have nothing to complain about. I mean sure time flies, but its not like I am 45, and living in mothers basement. (Besides, that would never happen ANYWAY, because my father wold be all LOLOL NO. GTFO.) so yeah. I am really loving life right now too. I mean I have a job that is providing decent money, I have transportation (that, as it is sucks down 8 miles a GALLON, but that can change) I have a place to live, and I have my family, well, short of one brother who is in the Philippines. so yeah.

you know, someday I will learn how to write a proper paragraph, so that when I post these random blitherings, they will at least make sense GRAMMATICALLY. Because everyone loves good grammar. Its just proper! (Oh ho ho! A pun!) Anyway I made my statement, so I am going to get back to the important things.

You know, Listening to The Cranberries, and playing Bejeweled 2. :D

Well then, I guess thats how it is.

2010-05-12T12:07:00.000-07:00

I found my self wondering today, why.

Now many people are going to look at that last sentence, and have any myriad of different thoughts. Why did I decide to get up so early this morning? Why did I go and have that second burrito? Why is that guy Cutting me... Why is he getting s close!? WHY IS IS HIS CAR IN MY LANE!? WHY IS HE SWERVING LIKE THAT!? (Answer? He was Texting. Srsly. I looked over at him with some SCORN, and he was in the MIDDLE of a text.)

But that is not the Why, I had in mind. Infact, now that I have just finished working with a customer, I have no clue what I was talking about.

Apparently, it was an unimportant subject.

I did Have some stuff I wanted to talk about, Mostly about nothing. I sometimes just like to sit and let the keyboard do the talking. (and for those of you wondering, my Keyboard DOES talk, and he asks simply, that I stop eating sandwiches at the desk. The crumbs hurt his keys.) I mean isint that what a blog should be? A simple entry discussing the life of someone. A statement made by another member of this human race, detailing his struggle to get ahead. I see my little internet canvas as something more f a journal. A record of feelings that I have, how my days were, not what I feel about .

I guess I am old fashioned in that regard. I'ts why I never update my blog with something other than random whimsy. I never feel like I have something thats important to add to the giant blogosphere. I see these blogs that have huge followings, people that read them daily, and more comments than I have ever given on the 'net.

Im listening to A death Cab for Cutie song. Im thinking about what I want. There isin't much actually. I have a place to live right now, I have a car to drive, I have a job. These are all good things. The necessaries of life. Food clothing, transportation. I would like to have a Girlfriend. I know that seems shallow to say over the net, but its true.

I want a new computer. Stupid little thing, but its a want.

I want a Ford F-150. Not so little, HUGE do want.

I want to be surrounded by good friends. Don't get me wrong, I have GREAT friends. Emily, Nick, Zak, Tiana. Awesome people, but some of them are way to far away from me to like it.

I want a Zune HD 32 Gig. Totally buying it for my birthday. ACAUSE IT WILL BE MY BIRTDAY PRESENT TO MAH SELF.

Jeez I want this blog to make sense. Sorry Folks. I just have no Idea what I am doing with this right now. SOMEONE INSPIRE ME.

My Top Ten songs - In no order

2010-05-10T15:56:00.000-07:00

So I posted over on Twitter About my top ten songs, right at this moment. They are here in slightly different order than on Twitter. Here goes the Explanation!

1. Zombie, The Cranberries: Ok, This is on the list because I just rediscovered them about a week ago, and I forgot how awesome their music is, and this song especially.

2. I don't Want to set the world on Fire - The Ink Spots: Started playing Fallout 3 again. This song gets instantly stuck in my head forever when I do so. Loove it.

3. Just Breathe - Pearl Jam: I heard this song, and Had to stop what I was doing and listen to it. I have never really liked Pearl Jam, but this song is amazing. I like how it has the sad overtone that we are all going to die someday, but because of that we should all stick together. Awesome Song.

4. Why don't you get a Job? - The Offspring: Really? Do I need to explain why an Offspring song is on the list? Ok, I have always liked this song. I first heard it many moons ago, Playing Crazy Taxi in the arcade (aand on my Gamecube) for HOURS. It is what got me hooked on The Offspring :D

5. Better Half - Frank Turner: I dunno How many of you have heard of Frank Turner, but My dear friend Emily got me hooked on him recently. Its a song about how somewhere out in the world, is his better half. Somewhere Is Missus right. He is singing to loneliness. Telling it that there is his better half out there. Love this song.

6. Linger - The Cranberries: Like I said, I found them again recently, and I just love their stuff. its pretty much awesome.

7. Brick - Ben Folds Five: I really honestly forgot how much I liked this song. I mean the melody, the lyrics, its just awesome stuff. I love the statement, She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly. Something bad is happening to the poor girl. and its never really explained (However, thats as far as I know, IF anyone knows the story behind Brick LEMME KNOW!) Its just a sad song. good though.

8. I'll Follow you into the Dark - Death Cab for Cutie: This is honestly one of the few songs I get emotional to. It has some serious emotional ties to certain people. and it just brings them right to the front of my mind. Its hard for me to even type about it. Just a really awesome song, that... that really means a lot to me.

9. Telephone - Pomplamoose Cover version: This is NOT the original Version of GaGa's hit. Its a much more, lounge-y jazzed out mix of Telephone, and its VERY catchy. I just find my foot tapping along weather I have a choice or not. Check it out.

10. Jet Lag - Frank Turner: Another song by Frank, Also from Emily. I really like this song. Its melodic, its quiet, the Piano is spectacular, and Its just in general a good song. He is singing about how he has gone over Thousands of miles, and 15 different girlfriends, but she (the one he want) is always 16 hours ahead. How he wants her. and he cant get back to her. The greatest line ever is in the song as well. "Distance Kills the best of Intentions" WHICH IS AS SAD AS IT IS TRUE.

Anyway, that s my Top ten for now. Ill do this once in a while, Get some stuff up here to listen to. Much love to yall.

hey look! I can blog@

2010-02-21T17:15:00.000-08:00

sort of. I mean I cant seem to use an exclamation point in my title.

so here is life, for me right now. I have started ANOTHER new job, working for a tree removal service, which is pretty sweet. I bailed on a previous job, because it was driving for eight hours, from nine PM to six AM. guh. not fun driving either, like dignataries, or crazy drunken people on the strip (yay Las Vegas!) but driving a water truck. spraying dirt. for nine hours. Hahahahah yeah right. so I bailed. now I remove trees. and bushes, and all manner of shrubbery. its pretty sweet. Just bought a new pair of work boots for it too! EXCITING.

Thats the work front, as far as school goes, I am going to be starting summer classes, since I am a massive dork, and missed FAFSA paperwork. Im going to be going to The college of Southern Nevada doing their user support thing. It basically gets me A+ hardware & software certification, Cisco networking certification, and a myriad of other things, to put me to work in the user support field (GEEK SQUAD HERE I COME). so yeah good times on THAT front.

Im single. Thats ALL im sayin bout that. (take me now! Im still good! only 21! low mileage!)

Life is in general pretty good. I gained a new appreciation for my family today so that is awesome. I realized how important they are to me. I want to say again, but I am not sure that I knew. I dunno.

I can never think of good blog titles.

2009-07-15T11:02:00.000-07:00

*Looks up at Title.* Ok, admittedly not my best work, but hey, no one here is Judging right? (Ahem, Judges there is a briefcase under each of your chairs. The "Donations" I spoke of are in them, and all yours. thank you.) So Here I sit, with my blog laid out in front of me, and nothing to say. I think. But i suppose if everyone in the world had something to say right off, then perhaps things wouldn't be so interesting. OR, everyone does plan what to say, and it merely seems random, but is in fact, not.

These are the things that keep me up at night. Sometimes. There are other things but I'm not sure that you would understand.

I'll tell you anyway, I need to fill space. I wonder what I am going to do for the rest of my life. I know it seems cliche, but I do it. I sit and look at all the options that I have, and the things I want to accomplish, places I want to see. I dunno its hard to sleep when I can't decide what to do for the rest of forever.

I Also wonder about her. Some of you know who she is and some of you don't. thats fine if you don't know You aren't missing some great secret in knowing who she is. I love this woman, but I am not sure if it really is love. I have no idea if she feels the same way. I think she does, but I am not sure. and there are others too. different women who I have been in contact with over the years, and talked to who I feel for to. Not at strong as her, but its close. Not surprisingly this rolls into the first thing which keeps me up at night. Go figure.

I wonder about my Family. I haven't seen them for two years Sure we have spoken, and I have seen pictures, but it has literally been years since I have seen them. SOme are grown much older, and taller, others have made changes that I am way excited about. and others still, I miss too much for words. (amazing how a simple admittance of something can cause a stir of our deepest emotions eh? I feel the heartache, and the tears near the edge of my mind right now. Is it harder to breathe?) so yeah. My family is huge in my life, and missing them keeps me up at night.

I wonder why I have nightmares. I wish those big Horses would get out of the house.

Heh, figure the pun yet? Good.

So yeah, these are the things that keep me up. Then there is you. Yes, you. Weather you are me reading this later, or you are you, I wonder about you. How long has it been since I have seen ya? are you alright? Is everything well with you. I can confidently say that I miss you. Don't attempt to see past this as some sort of reflection or joke, I wanted to tell all of you that I miss you. instead of a long list of things, I decided to talk to you personally. Let the emotions that your brain wants to stir up free. Tell me how you are doing! I miss you, a lot. You are and always will be, My friend.

thanks. I hope that all of you are well, and having a good day.

-Austin J

Chapter one: Trials and Exile

2009-06-06T11:59:00.000-07:00

And now for Chapter one: Trials and Exile.

"QUIET IN THIS COURT!!!" The Judge screamed, silencing the crowd, and Asserting the authority that should well be. the Marbled hall echoed, and the room full of people, were silenced. From the Judge's chair he could see the handles of many weapons, of varying shape, recently allowed in all areas of town. The people refocused themselves on the man in black at the chair. "This court is not to decide the fate of the Di-Gor-Mon! We are here to rectify the Differences between the Law, and what the people want!" He glared out over the courtroom, looking into the faces of the people. Some hungry for the blood of their fair deputy, others cry because of the anger that was shown towards the man who a short six months ago, the people loved and cared about. There should not be this much anger, but alas there was. anger and resent for a man just doing his job, trying to get things done the way they should be. No one wanted to hear the reason of peace. The judge resumed speaking, "Now then, there Will be a fair vote in the coming days, to decide what the people want for a Di-Gor-Mon. and it will be a fair trial, done as it always is. There will be NO weapons allowed, even though the law does permit carrying of such devices, in plain daylight. Anyone who questions this ruling, will be asked to not participate in the vote, and placed in the jail for the entirety of the ceremony understood!?" The crowd murmured their replies of yes, and then Demeratu spoke from the back of the room.

"Your Honour! Permission to step into the litigation area?" The Judge nodded his approval and allowed him to step into the area reserved for lawyers and prosecutors, and addressed the people in attendance. "People of Setins! We have a unique opportunity here! This town is set in the old ways! You see that evidenced here! This deputy that is the law here is stagnant! he does things th-" "DEMERATU!" The Judge yelled from his post. Drawing the immediate attention of the Entire room, and even a small bit of fear from the manipulator of Setins. "I stated that this is not the place to discuss Gurnagh (Gur-gnaw) Maropoa! You have blatantly disregarded that statement! Did you think I would sit and let this happen! Your are dismissed from this proceeding. You may still participate in the Vote, you have been here long enough to participate, but you are no longer welcome in this courtroom until after The vote. now, get out." Demeratu Left but the poison that he spewed had already affected the townsfolk. Those who were still supporting Gurnagh, began swaying, was the town really stepped in its old ways? was it truly time for something new? The Judge sat and weighed all of these things, and Stared at the people he had been representing for so long. He knew Gurnagh's father. He did not want to think that demeratu was right. At that momment the Honorable Judge decided, that no one was going to sway him. The Di-Gor-Mon, was a good man, and this Demeratu was one who would distroy the order of things. No man.

Gurnagh was walking down the main avenue when a drunkard walked out of one of the new taverns that had sprung up since Demeratu came. that very building was on of the small shops that was owned by His dear friend, Morath. About a year ago he closed his little shop, and opned a new Tavern much to the dismay of Gurnagh and his supporters. He sold liqour from all over the planet that was very expensive, and for the most part very foul tasting at first. He even claimed that the had several off world varaities, but most were sure that was a lie. The drunk stumbled over to Gurnagh, and started hollering at him "Ahh, Look who it IS! the BIG BAD DI-GOR-MON TRYING TO TAKE OUR NEW TOYS AWAY! How dare you ya bastard! Can't you see that we need this stuff! Its progress! YOUR A FOOL OF A DEPUTY! AND YER DAMN FATHER WAS A BIGGER FOOL THAN YOU!!!"

ok... Random stop. GHave to figure out what Gurnagh is going to respond with. MOre in a bit!

My Story...

2009-06-05T12:36:00.000-07:00

OK, this is the idea I was referring to, from this point forward, It is His story. I'll let him tell you the rest...

I used to live here, in Setins, this gleaming city with its beautiful walls of pristine Titanium alloy. I spent the first years of my life, living here and growing in the ways of law. My father Dionatrus maropoa, was the Di-gor-mon or, deputy of this town. He trained me to follow the law and keep our town safe. that was just the Maropoa legacy. My family has been the law in Setins for years. the people have an opportunity to chose a new Di-gor-mon every year, but they always pick a Maropoa, and when that one gets older they just vote in the son to do the job. it was such a good place with the streets so clean and nice, but now... its stained. The blod of the many people who got in my way. The fair folks of this small, but advanced city. I was the Di-gor-mon Of course. that is the Lot of our family! to be the hand of law in this town. the only one who could deliver justice in a way that was fair to all the inhabitants. I was the one, and the people loved the job I was doing! I was just and good, but then a new Man came to town. he came promising that this town could grow, become stronger, and eventually branch out with an armed force to take other cities on the planet. He wanted to give the people strange weapons... armaments that were far more powerful than the weapons that were allowed here in Setins.

I stood by the laws which were in place for our town. the weapons that he brought were not allowed. This man Demeratu was more than allowed to stay and visit, even live if he so desired, but such talk of weapons and conquest were not in the character of this place. He settled his talk down and went to a local hotel and took room. I let him go, I never bothered him again. I trusted that he would keep to the law that was laid. I thought wrong he spent most of his time in company of the people in town, visiting with them and filling their heads with lies... tales of his battles. Then things started changing and not for the better.

The people rapidly fell in love with this Demeratu's promises of power and conquest. I Of course had to investigate! My people were falling prey to evil, doing things that were never done! I saw two men kill each other in cold blood, just to prove that they had the most powerful weapons. Demeratu was objected to my investigation of the murders, saying that it was their own fault for standing against against each other, and not being safe. The town sided with him. Slowly, they started changing the laws. The weapons were allowed. Armor became something that merchants began selling... and I was voted away. The town leaders came to me and asked me poiltley, to step down and allow Demeratu to become the Law of Setins. I told them that I would only Voluntarily leave my post if the townsfolk voted me that way. Luckily for me voting was so far off. I thought. Then The fateful day came. They informed me that the Vote shcedule ahd been changed and my Position would be voted on the following day. This is where my story will really begin. With the voting. With my end as Law man, and becoming the Cowboy. A reject of the city...

ok, must run for now, but hey you have the Prolouge!

I can't think of a good first name for the Cowboy... any ideas?

Ahh, A new Blog.

2009-06-04T16:26:00.000-07:00

SO I finally decided to go and write a full awesome blog entry. Problem is I have run out of Ideas As of... now. Ok that was a tiny joke, I mean I am not totally Out of Ideas, I mean I do have a new Companion, to do missionary work with, so that is good. I am quite excited for this coming set of weeks, learning new things etc.

I dunno it should be a good time, Sir Jackson, is quite a good man. I think we are going to have some good times, and enjoy the time we have to work with each other. So yeah. Stil lliving in Belle Blaine Iowa, that is good its still a small town, but it is a good one. I like the folks here they are nice, and have that small town helpful Charm. for the most part. there have been a few people, that dont care for Mormon missionaries in there Town, but I can't balme them. there are a lot of bad things that get spread around about us, and I suppose that is one reason we are here. to help alleviate some of the dirty rumors about us. I am alright with that.

Lets see... not much new to report. I have been working on this story idea in my head perhaps Ill write some of it next time I post. Infact I will.

Mucho love mates.

What are you talking about nick?

2008-09-17T19:03:00.000-07:00

I totally made that blog up on my own. ALL BY MY SELF. not you.

<3

OMG LEIK BLOG!?

2008-09-15T09:01:00.000-07:00

SO I have been neglecting the lbog scene latley so I decided that I needed to update my little piece of the internet. so I am going to Steal another blog. GUESS WHERE IT IS FROM!

Spore is a truly amazing game when you sit back and look that it all entails. On first play-through, it took me around seven hours or so to make it to the fifth and final stage of the game, and that’s not including all of the different things I can do in that final stage. The game really centers around two things: evolving your character from the cellular stage upwards, and creation. There are two main modes in Spore: the Creators, and the game itself.
Within the game itself, you have to evolve your creature through five stages of life: the Cell stage, the Creature stage, the Tribe stage, the Civilization stage, and the Space stage. Starting in the Cell stage, you create yourself as a small cell in the water, who must eat the food that you choose to grow. Every action that you make, in this case either eating plants or meat, will decide how your creature evolves, and what special abilities you get later on in the game. When you have eaten enough, you will be given an option to move on to the Creature stage. In this stage, you evolve enough to gain legs and arms, and to be able to walk and run. Now your task is to either make friends with other creatures, or to destroy them all so that you are the dominant race. Starting at about here, most of the creatures that you will meet in your travels, if you’re connected to the internet, will either be Maxis created creatures, or creatures created by other players who have shared them on the Spore.com website.
After you’ve gotten enough DNA points from this stage, you’re race will evolve enough to be able to form a Tribe. Now you are given a small town, and either have to impress other creature tribes and befriend them, or destroy them all as well to become the top race. After becoming the best here, you will move on to the Civilization stage. You’ve learned enough by now to make a city, and your responsibilities grow because of it. Now you must not only protect your cities, but you must convince other cities of your same creature that you created to join your cause, or destroy them for their betrayal. After all of the cities are yours, you then move on to the most vast stage of them all, the Space stage. Now is your time to fly off to other planets and try to control them all as well. This stage is, without a doubt the largest of them all, and will provide you with the most gameplay of it all.
Overall, one could say that it’s more like five games that you have to play in succession with your same creature, all mixed together in this one package. Not only can you play it that way, but there is also the Creator mode, in which you gain the ability to create a creature in any one of the stages, or create the buildings or vehicles that are used in the Civilization stage. The creation elements are endless, and can be combined to make almost anything that you can think of. When playing, you can also load these creations that you have made without being forced to create something new every time. After making a creation, you can upload it to Spore’s Encyclopedia of creations called the Sporepedia. With this, you can download other peoples’ creations to your game, you can upload yours so that others can use them, or find your friends’ creations to add them to your game.
While having a high graphical computer makes the game look amazing, even using a simple computer with an on-board graphics card will make the game run at a very decent pace. I was able to play without any lag. I didn’t get the best graphics of course, but I was still able to play the game and get the best out of all of it’s functions without any trouble at all. The music that is involved in the game as well is very catchy. While it’s nothing special and worthy of a soundtrack, it’s perfect for each stage of the game. Each creature also has their own unique “voice” which they use to communicate, or to impress other species. In the later levels, your creature will even speak in a voice that you may hear in a Sims game.
This game definitely shows you the value that you pay for it. With the ability to continuously be able to download more creatures, buildings, and more; as well as to create your own and to change up the way that you decide to go about your life in each phase, will definitely change the way the game plays each and every time. I find myself going back and playing through it again with a new, different looking creature, changing the items I use on it every time, and then changing how aggressive, or how much I try and be friendly each time. It’s a very fun game, and I can’t see it stopping anytime soon.
If you can still find the Galactic Edition anywhere, the box itself is a work of art. Each box weighs about five pounds, and comes with a DVD on “The Making of Spore”, a book on “The Art of Spore”, a fold-out Spore poster, a premium 100-page Galactic Handbook, and a DVD made by National Geographic called “How to Build a Better Being“. Everything within this package is well made, and worth every penny to me, so get out there and pick up Spore today!

so I decided

2008-08-04T08:36:00.000-07:00

2008-07-14T09:16:00.000-07:00

I have decided that this will be a reasonably intelligent Blog. Because I am pretty cool like that. things are good in ottumwa, its getting warmer and Humid... but meh. I have discovered that Iowa is home of the non-Surgical Lobotomy! I mean It kinda makes sense. I supose. I have started using such Iowa-isims, as "Yusta Could" and, "Couple a Few" and "Warsh" it sucks, mostly a lot. BUT other than that that things are grand. Im liking the people in Ottumwa, I got Peanut butter Chocolate Fudge yesterday, and things rock. so yeah. Met a gentleman from Morocco, who spoke minor english, and french. Days I wish I was multi lingual. could have been fun. so yeah, how is everyone else? good? bad? Alive? dead? Question mark!?

Hello Universe,

Sitting In my usual spot... with Achy KNEES. Yes. this afternoon, we decided it would be a "Good" Idea to Ride a Bike Seven Miles. After not being in shape for the whole winter. I think I almost Died.

Twice. thats right, I AVOIDED DEATH. (well... a diesel on the Highway. so that was fun.) but yeah it was cool. we rode on a pretty much flat road, passed a sweet lake, watched cars pass us on the other sid3e of th road, got blown all over the place, (cha 35 MPH winds. WOO) BUT pretty exciting. the only bad part, is we have to make that trek BACK. 14 miles total WOO. so pretty much... not very exciting, but it is that or walk it. and if you ask me, Ill take the Road. Bicycle. Ja know? so yeah pretty exciting.

Um.... I cant really think what else is going down. YOu know stuff.

oh, Syd, the Reservation... weird as always.

-AJ OUT.

Ok Fine!

2008-05-09T11:46:00.000-07:00

Alright... Thanks to some stern INTERVENTION. I now no longer will be posting LOLcats. Good Lord what was wrong with me. ANYWAY. Time for a new blog. SINCE I DID ONE YESTERDAY.

And the DAY BEFORE. I think. Perhaps some Srs Bsns? I dunno. perhaps. Things are good with me, there was some LOLDRAMA in my life, but hey, its ok, because there was LOL's so you know what ever. um... its cloudy today? (Hmm... add a weather Page element?) and I am sitting in a public library, Lurking the internets. Checking out random YTMND's. You know fun stuff. just like sitting here and laughing at people sitting next to me in the library. FOR EXAMPLE, there is a Gorl sitting next to me reading those lovely fanfics. you know, THE RATED M ONES. LOLLERSKATES. but hey its cool. Gotta get it where you can amirite? I spose? ther is only like 6,000 People in this town.. or something like that. YAY FOR SMALL IOWA FARM TOWNS.

At least there is deecent Shopping, and a Library. so that makes it not suck as much. But yeah, so how is everyone else doing? Are you guys like, Having a good life and stuff? or like... Is it gay. I know that life can be gay. so if it is, Sorry. I still love you Srsly. I think with that I will close.

Remember Lift with your back, not your knees!

Another Day, Another Blog. [/overused title]

Hy Guys,

Very gay, and people would think I take it in the butt. That's not cool. lets end this Parenthesis.) Anyway, things are going good for me today, it rained all night last night so that was kinda cool-ish. Epsically when there was this giant roll of thunder that was all BBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM. Just like that. Well... More RUUMMBMBBBLLLRRREEEEEELLLLRRUUUMMBBBB. (Pronounce THAT.) still pretty dang sweet. I kinda like the rain. It depresses some people, but for me the rain, just brings back really good memories. like from my childhood and stuff. which is pretty dang sweet.

PARAGRAPH 2. BEGIN. Um I guess this is where I give Shout outs to people right? thats how we do things on blogs now... Right? Anyway, Shout out to TEH WEASEL. (Nick.) and Sydney!
