Sov's Crazy Ramblings

Its been a good long while since I updated and much has happened and changed.

Firstly. Mike, a good friend of mine has just had a baby girl!

Well onto the nitty gritty. After my guild’s split from Invictus Sanctum we have had a rough time. Firstly I got burned out on WoW and went back to EVE for a bit, its an even better game than when I left it and i’m now actively playing it again. As for WoW however, the lightbringers has been left well enough alone. Lucithana and Mirodi have bought in their alts and real life friends, and I have recruited new blood. Few of them have showed interest in the guild after joining and I wonder if anyone really cares. I’ve become disheartened and I told them they could go  back to sanctum if they wish… I’m not sure its a good idea, considering sanctum, but its a stable guild, even though there are aspects of it that appear hellish.

As for the future of the lightbringers, I am still not certain, I have stopped inviting new members while I think it over in my head, though my inital thoughts are to drop it entirely. WoW has become a mindless monotony, sure its fun occasionally, but the continual repetition day in day out is enough to drive a man insane.

In other news. Summer has come and it is now boiling here every night, no matter how much clothing I remove I still pour sweat and stick to my desk as I type. The fan is going the window is open and still the heat soars, I would say it could not be hotter but I know that is untrue.

The heat is causing me to be irritable, short on temper, tense, and I have a distinct lack of concentration, I can’t focus on anything without being drawn to the terribly feeling on my arms of being stuck to a desk by my own filth.

I’ve also recently helped my mother with her website and her first e-book has been published. It is a beginners guide to painting with watercolor. If you have any interest at all here is a link.

I will make a promise now to keep this blog up to date, I know i’ve promised this before but I see that it is a good thing now, I feel I am losing my grip on sanity, maybe this will be of use to a scientist years from now.

Also my father grows steadily more tired, though it hardly seems possible, eating has become a major hardship  for him and he struggles to take in even the most basic of nutrients, he suffers in silence but I can see his pain. I wished that my father could say “Son, i’m proud of what you’ve acheived” but I fear this may never happen, no matter how hard I try or what I do, I can never achieve anything that I desire or strive for. I’m sorry dad.

I don’t know where to go now from here so I think I will close for now. Just know that if i’ve treated you poorly recently… then I’m sorry, I never mean any harm, and I always want what is best for everyone else, even though my actions seem to cause nothing my trouble and strife.

p.s. Megan is away at the moment, on a 2 week vacation to see relatives, I wish her the best of luck and fun. I hope you have a great time. I’m sorry I could not be there as I hoped to be for your camping trip, it weighs heavily on my mind and I regret every moment I procrastinated and said “I’ll go”.  I hope that one day we will indeed meet, I hope that truly, it would bring meaning back to my life.

Well you probably heard about this a while ago, if you didn’t then i’m here to remind you about it!

It was actually a PDA, you know one of those things which does all sorts of crazy stuff, it wasn’t a particularly new one, from 2001 i think actually so it was the first of the PDA generation I guess. Anyway I guess I should be happy it lasted 7 years, sadly it had only been mine for 3 months.

It became mine when my dad realized he never used any of the features, in fact he didn’t call or even pick up the calls he got on it. So it was pretty much useless to him. So he let me take it after years of wanting the phone I had it! Woo i thought…

I gave my cool stylish Nokia 6680 to my mom as she had a shitty phone at the time, mine had a camera on it and well it was a nice thing to do. So my mom got my phone, my dad got my mom’s old one and I got the old PDA which pre-dated both of the phones by a couple of years at least, 5 actually.

I got the phone when Mike and Warren were over here and I wanted to show mike a PDF on it, I thought “Oh great I’ll load this up and away we’ll go”.

Yeah… it was a good idea, i found a free pdf viewer for it online which worked perfectly. I got it to mike, showed him the map, we were busy going through it when it locked up. froze entirely, couldn’t do jack… In the end had to reset the bastarding thing which wiped EVERYTHING, programs, texts, the lot. I wasn’t pleased…

A few crashes and restarts later I go to plug it into the base (thing to recharge and connect it to the pc with) when I noticed it didnt actually start charging.. On closer inspection a pin of the connected had come off and rendered the device un-re-charge-able [shit load of -s].

So now its sitting on the end of a desk in the lounge, laying looking longingly up at the cieling. [alliteration]

This now leaves me without a phone… for the past month, oh 2 months now actually.

I wonder how many calls I missed… I will check tomorrow and recieve a brilliant array of promotions from my phone company and not a single useful message or call. Actually I might have missed something from Kelate….but thats unlikely as she knew.. so no nothing

Speaking of which I have around 400 Billion different useless things that I won with the “SUPER FUCKOFF AMAZING LOLER DRAW!!!” or whatever the crap is they keep sending!

Well since my boxed copy of WoTLK didn’t arrive and likely never will I decided to buy a digital copy and get my account upgraded so I could enjoy the new expansion.

Firstly, there are 2 ways into Northrend. Myself and Azzuzu (Mike) went from Stormwind harbor to Valiance Keep, In the Borean Tundra. We started some questing there and leveled ourselves up, we even tried “The Nexus” A newbie instance there.

All in all everything is going well, the instances are horribly difficult, you really need to work hard to complete them and strategy is key, which is a good thing I suppose, while writing this I have been running Nexus again which has been boosted so it is even harder than it was before. We’re coming up to the end boss now so I will wait to finish this blog for that…..1 wipe at less than 25%, Done on the 2nd attempt. Wonderful!

Oh jeez I came back to this 8 hours later Umm *reads up*

Right, well we succeeded there and got some nice gear. All in all I can’t really fault WOTLK as a whole, there are some new additions, like vehicles, mammoths that carry 3 people and a vendor and all sorts of other cool stuff like that.

I also visited Dalaran, the new Shattrath, its beautiful, if you have a computer you should seriously check it out. Very cool

Anyway this will have to be it as it is 6:33am, thanks for reading and I hope you can get into WoW! Also if you don’t have an account already, get one!
