Back to work (again)

Well back at work again. I only worked one day before the hendersonville unplanned trip, and then i couldn't go back to work for reasons not my own. So hopefully this doesn't mess us up financially. But i did get to play a lot of games, from sunset overdrive on Greg's xbox one, to finishing out bioshock 2,  uncharted 1, and half of uncharted 2. I haven't done much as for streaming and videos for awakenedheathen.com i should get back into that once i start playing destiny again.

But fuck games lol i wanna go to a metalcore show. I miss you 2004!

Home sweet home

First off i need a shower. I went there with just the clothes on my back because I wasn't planning in going. Just Half way... So a week and a half later I'm finally back home. And its nice. Granted it was nice to play sunset overdrive (23 hours lol) but I'm craving my bioshock haha. Right now I'm watching amber play tomb raider (she just got eaten by wolf lol) also frozen food is the best haha. Get home after being gone for so long and throw it in the microwave and its still good. I'm gonna need some rest.

Goodnight all.

Goodnight ghosts of the past.

Pre internet nostalgia

Still in the mountains yet. I cant work today anyway because of personal reasons by of the person i serve so we are here 1 or 2 more nights. I may need to get more beer lol. The Oktoberfest (marzen) from highlands is excellence. I'll probably get that again. Well i finished everything quest and mission to do in sunset overdrive which insane that i was able to do that on a game that i don't have the system for haha. That was the main game i wanted for the  xbone and now I've finished it. All that's left is collecting all the amp supplies/collectable, getting all the amps, levelling all the guns to 5 and doing challenges aka grinding and farming. But red dead redemption 2 comes out next year and i want that for xbone so i can play with texaz outlaw, my good friend from the 360 days.

Hopefully this doesn't mess us up financially but I believe we will be fine

Mnts extended 2

Well i called the family i worked with to see how everything was and they asked if i was still in the mountains could i just stay till amber is leaves so they can have more time with family and so I can leave without having to come back Saturday so guess what? I'm still in hendersonville, well today is last day we leave tomorrow. I'm gonna call them again and see if u can work tomorrow night though to get some hours in. Well this give me more time with amber and aiden, being home alone would be boring even with all the time to game lol and got to game here! Since i haven't left yet i have been doing sunset overdrive side quests which has been a fun experience still I've put around 20 hours into it in the week I've been here.

Still in the mountains. I leave for home in the morning and I'm going to meet greg and amber someday near the end of the week to get her and take her, kat, and aiden home. Still been plugging away at sunset overdrive which has been a wonderful experience. That game will go down into my small stack of comfort games which includes left 4 dead, bioshock, the darkness, half life 2, fallout 3, alan wake, and now sunset overdrive. I hope to finish the main story quest and upload a video of all the clips that auto recorded during my playtime. See you soon!

Sunset overdrive

Well i decided to stay around for a bit and i got to install my gamertag on Greg's xbox one so i actually got to play my sunset overdrive! Man that game is so cool! My dude is a bearded indie punk lol i could see him as a huge rites of spring fan haha. The game is totally hilarious and breaks the 4th wall constantly. I mean you get a gun that shoots vinyl records!

Well its cool to spend more time with amber and aiden even if aiden can be a butt in the mornings. I still only have the clothes i came in with, my wallet, phone, and my keys haha but its all good i just put ambers profile on the xbox so she can make a character in sunset overdrive.

Also looking at the date on this post... Yesterday was our 12th anniversary of being a couple. I'm glad we got to spend it together! ❤

Spartanburg happens

Well l... I'm in hendersonville. Wasn't really planning on this, don't have an changes of clothes or anything lol but I'm here. Its nice that i get to stay with amber for a bit longer though. Well what happen is we got to exit 184 on highway 40 that's the halfway mark between my house and char's house. Well we called greg and he said he was in...what for it... spartanburg SC and he couldn't highway 40... :facepalm: So i told him that he is 4 to 5 hours away from us that it would be quicker for us to go ahead on to hendersonville which was 2.5 hours away since we were halfway so we got here around 8:30 and i am going to leave out after lunch to head home.

Adventures!

Back at work

Well most of the back roads I take to work are clear now, Smithfield is still terribly flooded around the river which with the creeks flowing into it and the lakes needing to release their dams it can get get bad... Well i finished bioshock and now I'm on bioshock 2, I'm glad i got this collection for us its a great franchise. Bioshock 2 is the weakest but its not a bad game. Some of its mechanics are great like duel wielding plasmids and guns and the research mechanics are great but the story is just kinda of basic compared to the ken levine fares, But its a fun game. It lacks a lot the dark humor of the first game and replaces it with a lot of heart tugs when it comes to the little sisters.

So I'm meeting greg halfway today to drop off amber, aiden and kat so they can watch the kids while her mom is in cali. So ill have the house to my self. I'll have a lot of time to play games and stuff but I'm gonna miss her so much.

Xanga forever

Post storm

Well the storm is over and we are all safe and all but the roads are flooded. Well most of them are around creeks and rivers and just about every road in johnston county has some sort of creek or river or swamp around it. So it takes like 45 yo 50 mins to get to my moms house.

Also a lot of the traffic lights were out and to my understanding you treat them like 4 way stoo i.e. everyone that approaches it stops...well people were flying through them like they were green lights seems like I'm the only person that knows driving rules around here. But anyway we never lost our lights, they did flicker but that was it. We did lose water for most of the day today but its back now.

All this time it did give me time to play bioshock which is one of my comfort food games (along with left 4 dead, the darkness and half life 2). That was fun and it does look pretty upscaled, i just beat it and now I'm gonna play bioshock 2 (which is a good game its just kinda discount version of the first game with out the humor, its kinda sadder if i remember) but i still have deus ex to play which is still a great experience. Aiden is at my mom's so have a wee bit if a break tonight. Gonna go to bed and rest now. Later!

I need a band

I really need to get up with adrian some how and try to see if he wants to finally settle down and play some music again. I went over to his house a couple of years ago and we played halo and lamented at the break up of bobby peru and dressed for tragedy. I really wanna write some songs and play a few shows not full time just one every now and again... Really it was like that before, i mean we had busy lives back then, college, jobs, girls ect. So now that that's changed to dad lives, jobs, wives it really shouldn't be any different.

I mean i don't wanna live in the past i just don't want things to completely die we loved back then. There is no reason we have to go on life without playing music just because we are in our 30s now. But the big thing is I don't know how to get up with adrian. His number has changed and he doesn't use social media...maybe I'll just go up to his house on a sunday evening and say dude...its been too long we have to jam.

One more thing... Its already october. I wish i thought of this before now since the month is already seven days in. but since i added my old posts archive that i uploaded to word press (2004-2012 xanga, livejournal, blogger, wordpress) i saw posts from October 2008 that i did for a private-ish blog on blogger. Well i made 1 post a day as a picture for the whole month and looking back on it was awesome it really did tell an a detailed story of what we were going through then. I wanted to do it again but i missed my favorite month... Maybe I should do december.

Well the storm didn't come over us but we are definitely getting the edges of it. Its windy and rainy. The window got left open again and my records got wet again. I'm moving those records away from the window so if it accidentally gets left open they are safe lol

Storms and augments

Well the storm won't hit it seems like but I think we are still going to jakes. Aiden is going to my moms and we are looking into a new place tomorrow. We will have roommates for the first time in our life which will be jake and his daughter sophia. Hopefully this works out because i am tired of living so paycheck to paycheck. It will help splitting all the bills as well as being so close to work.

I have been playing deus ex mankind divided which is really good. I loved the last one but hated how they handled the boss battles: since i had no weapons i was playing a no kill stealth play through but i loved everything else. Mankind divided fixes the problems of human revolution which makes it a great game to play if you like stealth and in depth rpgs.

How i Xanga

Since all the talk about xanga and reading old posts fron xanga and live journal. I decided to journal again on a more personal level than awakenedheathen.com

We had a hurricane coming through but i guess its gonna miss us. We were going to go to my dads house but since its not really a threat we are staying here. Aiden is going to my moms house so this weekend should be a relaxing time to play some video games and just not have to worry about anything which will be nice since this past weekend has been stressful as hell. I really do miss the internet as it was in the 00s especially pre facebook, YouTube and smartphones. It was a nice thing to connect to at the beginning and end of the day and not get burnt out on it, and i hate all the meme culture and fluff that its filled with, i miss sincerity
