deleterious
What a nice word. I saw this for what I think was the first time today. The context made it clear what they meant, but after looking the word up, it turns out it was used incorrectly (just a bit…)
One of those glorious words with a fairly specific meaning, making it sadly underused.

Dear World
If anyone is seeking someone to do composition related work (proofing/editing/speech preparation/improving, etc.), or anything data entry or computer troubleshooting related, please use me. I’ve spent a lot of time doing all of the above and have gotten pretty darn good at all of it. You won’t be disappointed! Thanks, Kyle
Reborn Coma Man’s Words May Be Bogus!?

Oh Noes!! Regardless of the validity of coma-guy’s “statements”, locked-in syndrome is a scary thought for sure!
Come on post tumblr, I’m tired of having to retry this crap! I dunno if you don’t like Chrome or what…
A man in Belgium was thought to be in a coma for...
ohyeahfacts:
They call it “locked in.” You can hear, see and think, but your inability to respond to anything leads to a vegetative state diagnosis. The patient is basically trapped in their own body.
Biggest. Fear. EVAR.

Scary Stuff!!
The words and the sadness, never parted it seems. Old friends, enemies too, forcing struggle to inspire, welling up from the middle of me… Why is the darkness what drives me to create? Why when I am lost do these things come and not feel tainted… words driven by my fears? My losses? The never-will-be’s? No answers for me, I’m sure, never are. Only questions and doubts,...
Being me, if I may describe it:
A thousand televisions in your head, radios blaring, the books and characters from childhood dancing in the corner of your vision, always. Delusions? Processing thoughts? I never know…sometimes sounds and sights seem real, or fake, and I am worried of ending up where I often joke I belong. A story of dragons and knights made real, the first sign; that...
I often retreat to the places of my own making, dreams in which I am both king and prisoner My lucidity lacking, trapped in that place I make for good or bad, or worse… But better than here where the pain is real And nothing can make my memories as fleeting as dreams…
Depression’s realization sets in, and with it, inspiration Fleeting moments before my eyes Like jumbled tv images flashing Voices ringing out in my mind Memories, thoughts, whispers of forgotten things and things which may never be Sometimes I drift into it, into dreams briefly trying to catch more words, visions of what it is I see Inspiration’s fleeting, like butterflies on sunbeams
I am alone and drowning in a sea of self-doubt Unable to see the surface for the waters that are my fears, my worries… my what-ifs… I feel as though I have fought so hard to breathe, only to end up in this place again Alone, and feeling tired of fighting…

Idiocy
Have you ever been forced to participate in the stupidest things you could thing to do with your time? I used to have to quite a bit (luckily no longer), and unfortunately for some of my friends, they are still stuck in this situation.
I can’t even fathom the depths of the actions of some of the people they have to deal with, both on the customer side, and sadder still, in their...

MMO
So I remembered this idea I had for an MMO the other day. The idea I had originally when WoW was first announced and I knew it would be huge.
Sort of a living world/planet type game, where the creatures actually grow, migrate, require food sources, etc. Where the players would be discovering new life, place. My idea would also have the planet mostly randomly generated, if that would be...

Holy House!
Wow! I just finished watching the premiere of House! Incredible! I love this show. Even if it makes me cry like a girl.

Mental health
So I had to stop watching the premiere of House with a ways left to go. I couldn’t really handle it well apparently. Seeing the hospital and patients really bugged me, and didn’t help reinforce that I’m ok…
I guess I’m not…
Now what?

5:30am?
I just woke up thinking it was 5:30am for some reason, and went about my normal routine for 1/2 an hour before someone stopped me and made me look at the clock again.
I fail today.

Bagpipes
Someone in my neighborhood practices bagpipes frequently. They are pretty good.
Life is good.

Creativity
I feel as though a vast majority of my creativity was sapped during the process of getting over depression. I’m now happier, but I feel far less inspired to create on a daily basis.
If I wasn’t so scared of how destructive depression can be, I’d go back…

Imma let you finish
I love the internet and how it has completely altered our culture. I watched something the other day that was talking about how culture really got moving with the first memes. Stories we would pass down, etc.
More recently of course, the internet has allowed everything and anything catchy or stupid enough to become universally known in moments.
I imagine this will be the crowning achievement...

Cheap video games make me smile →
So head over to direct2drive to download games for just $5.00 a piece. A deal if I’ve ever seen one. I plan on picking up a few most likely to help assuage the boredom.
I hardly ever get to use that word…

Names
I find myself a bit surprised and sad that my name is nowhere close to as uncommon as I would like. All over the place people have my name, living and dead and it’s just…I dunno…sad. I guess we can’t all have those super unique names tho ;P

So I find myself sitting here bored, wondering what out there I can do. There are a number of interesting video games, some of which I have, but lately I can’t seem to get into them.
I have an very short attention span it seems and most games lake what is necessary to get me involved long term. WoW works on occasion. I own Champions Online but there is just something about it that...
