It has been an insightful week to say the least. I learned new things and could very well say that i charted the course for my goal in life.

Okay, not actually. But hey, ENTHUSIASM!! right?

anyway, this past week, spanning only five days apparently, i sat back and enjoyed some time off and it gave me an opportunity to think. through this masterful medatation, i pondered some great issues and concluded five things that may very well be the corner stone of my small, insignificant life.

Five of my biggest revalations:

#5 Mashed potatoes are the greatest food on the planet.

Earth-shattering, isn't it? i know this sounds odd but there is some reasoning to it. Potatoes are a dietary staple in many parts of the planet. growing up, spuds were present at every hot meal, they became so regular that they were as much a part of dinner as was the table. Now that i am older and quote un quote "self-Sufficient" my diet has fallen to simpler meals that take little time to produce. I like to cook, i like food. But i am also lazy so the microwave beats the stove nine times out of ten. the reason i felt this is a revelation is because it is like the old moral, you really don't know how good things are until they are gone. Having some lovely mashed potatoes for the first time in months was disturbingly wonderful. it brought a tear to my eye

#4 Quake messes my life more than i can tell.

How fitting with Quake-con upon us. Well actually thats part of the reason, Quake-con made me realize just how much Quake has bled into my aspects of daily life. Huh, now theres a statement that makes me sound like someone with no grip on reality, but it's true. I doodled the Quake logo on my notebooks in highschool, I rocket-jump in every game that has a rocket launcher. In games with cutsomizable avatars, the Quake logo is a symbol i wear into battle. and most recently:

#3 Minecraft is frighteningly addicting.

This one can't be explained. it has to be experienced

#2 I want to recreate a full scale, fully functioning Darkside.

Two things in this universe are absolute, My love of Semi-trucks and my love of Twisted Metal. In any installment that featured Darkside as a drivable vehicle, i jumped right in. Whether it was Ash or Dollface, it didn't matter. all that did was that the small child in my soul was annhilating people and innocent bystanders in a ten ton truck. and cmon, can you blame me?

#1 Alucard is Dracula spelt backwards

yep. thats number one. Pretty anticlimactic huh? well it blew my mind when i realized. it also made me realize that i hadn't played a Castlevania in a while. well.

Thats uhh, thats pretty much it. if you wan't the time you spent reading this back, kindly move single file to the door and walk out, upon walking out you will realize that you are not in the past and that you have stepped out of a plane and are now hurdling towards the Earth

Have a nice day
