I OD’d big time on Diablo III

I OD’d big time on Diablo III Friday/Saturdy morning. It had nothing to do with the game of course as I was pissed off big time because of EU errors and being unable to play with our wrecking crew team. We are stuck in the rut because of major gaming and server issues.

But despite having nerd rage, Flipmax and I ended up playing our Witch Doctors well into the night until our wrists were hurting. And when we were going nuts, we stopped playing for a bit.

But instead of fulling stopping, we pressed onto the US servers in true gaming-inebriated fashion. Ejji joined us shortly and my brother a few hours later. What we did, I don’t know. it is all a blur. I just remember laughing until my face hurt and I’m sure I offended everyone’s mom except my own. 

By the time I passed out, I was beyond dead. I woke up sometime later with a huge headache, took some ibuprofin, and crashed again. At some point, I woke up and helped Sahd farm the rest of the mats he needed for the Staff of Herding and then crashed again.

Awake now..wonder what I will do today once I shake off this haze I’m still in. I still have a slight headache, my back hurts, and am feeling nauseous and hungry. Log in? hehehehe.

Minutes

I love this Late Night Alumni Song… the lyrics just really encompass my state of mind at the moment… especially when I let it all go.

………………………….

Love to take minutes like these, minutes of peace, and keep them close.

In this light, little to hide, here by my side, and so connected.

Surreal ease, leisurely free, hushed and serene, head to toe.

Can’t say why I’m suddenly shy, humble and mild, and so contented.

Is this real?

Am I still here?

Still killing time.

Watching minutes die.

Am I still here?

Is this real?

Am I still here?

Still killing time.

Treason

you miss the idea of me

but you have completely missed me

as if I were a ghost

completely in your way

move aside you said

you are ruining my life

your little world is too unstrung

your head a rambling mess

the idea of you is a lie

your burdens are a stress

when the room in silence goes unsung

those are times I’ll miss you some

but make no mistake that despite the time

my feelings go unchanged

so I took your words to heart that day

and wrote a little note

life is kind when it is blind

but only for awhile

emotions drown without a sound

and promises all wither

some things are said when hearts are led

when the mind desires to listen

think on that from whence you sat

on bitterness, confusion

of all the lies fed

wondering for the reason

loops instead, the question dread

is connection worth the treason?

Hype is not Science

I find health hysteria hypes laughable at best. I remember my brother telling me not to drink water that has been sitting out in the car because of chemical release from the heat into the water.

I was skeptical. I don’t follow hype that much. My main reason for throwing out water that has been sitting out in the car is due to suspicion of bacteria or it just tastes like shit. Not chemical poison.

I hear all these people claiming that you can’t re-use a water bottle because of toxins and others who will only use BPA free water bottles. The science behind it doesn’t support the fear or hype of “toxin free” conscious minds. 

The fact is that the one study that spurred the myth was proven to be false because his lab equipment has been contaminated, the bottle itself didn’t even have the chemical found in it! This study was done by a lone student doing a thesis.

But people love a good story and love to champion for what they think actually makes them better…but most “studies” are just “studies”.. they aren’t facts. “May cause” “Has been proven in some cases” make for great titles to scare people into very specific type of consumerism and lifestyle.

BPA free means nothing. Especially when you realize almost every type of food packaging is lined with plastic. Everything is poisonous to your system. The real question is exposure and dosage. My suggestion is not to eat the plastic bottle after you drink the water and you’ll be okay. lol.

The same goes for most hygiene and cosmetic products. The scare hype so that people are patting themselves on the back for buying free of this and free of that is just a marketing ploy. It’s a hype and part of a culture of detoxification as if that is even possible. We’re human beings, not pristine white pieces of paper. We live in a toxic world. We breath toxic air. 

But luckily for us, we have not reached levels in which we can not handle these toxin in small dosages. Hence, you have never read a headline of someone dying from putting on sunscreen or someone becoming sick from drinking bottled water.

But maybe the mental security it provides is enough to keep some on the “-free” wagon in which I say.. whatever helps you sleep at night. Who am I to judge. I still carry around a security blanket.
