Goodbye 2013

Posted inBooks, Creativity, Films/TV, Internet, Music, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments
So what happened in 2013 then? It was another mixed bag. The best thing ever happened: I stopped smoking. And I don't even miss it. I'm not suffering from some black depression because I'm holding myself back from smoking my precious cigarettes, I'm not deluding myself by switching to an eCigarette, I'm not counting down the hours until I can…

Ghosts

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
I'm feeling melancholic tonight, a little nostalgic. I feel like laying some ghosts of the past to rest, so they stop haunting me. I've been here before, but my outlook has changed, I've grown a lot. I said then that just looking was laying the ghosts to rest, but tonight I am sending out messages to all those who changed…

Confidence+5

Posted inCreativity, Internet, ReflectionsNo Comments
So I recently posted my latest picture on DeviantArt and then on Facebook, and the feedback has been amazing, it's given me a real boost in creative confidence. To say I'm proud of it is an understatement - it's without a doubt the greatest piece of art I have ever created - and the only time I've not fallen short…

Facebook update #2

Posted inCreativity, Internet, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments
So, it's been a week, roughly, and I'm up to 175. Three quarters of my stupid random personal challenge completed. Other than that, I've not really been up to much. The Batman canvas is pretty much finished - keeping to my personal target of creating one "finished" piece of art a month. I feel that something has got to give…

Facebook update

Posted inInternet, ReflectionsNo Comments
After only a few days I'm up to 147, and those were just the blindingly obvious ones. As I said, I never add anyone, I always let them come to me, but there are people who I like and respect but am strangely not "friends" with on Facebook. I didn't keep track of exactly how many invites I sent out,…

It’s been a while

Posted inCreativity, Films/TV, Internet, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments
This is the longest I've left making a post for a long time. Nothing interesting has really happened to be honest. I've made a canvas for a work-friend, and nearly finished another one for some other friends, convinced Jane to make some progress on her fiction (specifically, The Famous Yiberdeedo), watched some films that I don't really feel the need…

Windows 8

Posted inCreativity, Internet, ReflectionsNo Comments
So, I'm about to upgrade my OS to Windows 8 Pro. I'm never usually this eager to take up new technology, I mean, I never started using Firefox until Chrome was generally perceived as "the best". Funny, just writing out the tag for Chrome made me realise I've never mentioned Chromehounds on here before - it is one of my…

Fifty

I completed my 50th Xbox game today, geoDefense, on my phone. It was a nice little game, but not as mentally taxing as some other tower defence style games. You could simply plow through most levels with as many fully upgraded regular gun turrets as you could cram into the arena. For the few levels that required a different approach,…

Spying on people via Facebook

Posted inInternet, ReflectionsNo Comments

Posting the old reviews is going well, and I almost shed a tear when I read the lovely comment Stellar left on the PSU: Final Hurrah post. All this old stuff is making me quite nostalgic, I’m going back in time, further and further.

Facebook can be quite the spying tool if used correctly. I’ve been checking out old friends, seeing how they’ve grown up. Most of them have kids now. I’ve been checking out old flames and past infatuations, seeing how much they’ve changed, seeing how they’ve lost that sparkle in their eyes that fuelled my desire for them. And they’ve mostly got fat. Hey, I’ve put on weight since then too, so I don’t mean that as an insult. Honest.
