OKAY. It's astounding that this year is nearing completion (only 4 more months!?), I swear it feels like it just started. I remember the beginning of the year I vowed to get a job, stop bitching about stuff, and learn Spanish. I've failed at
all of them, except the latter. Ci, I habla spaniard stuff. I know. I'm good. #smug
In retrospect, this year hasn't been a complete waste thus far; I no longer fear people (Now I'm just overly conscious of my appearance; namely my now long hair, untrimmed and weird looking), that's always nice? Oh, and I've accepted the possibility God exists (and not just when I want to blame him for shit), but refuse to blindly believe it wholeheartedly without evidence. Finally, I'm still trying not to obsess over everything... I'm making some progress.
People don't want to hear your problems, they don't want to hear your bitching. FFS, I can't
stand people bitching to me about their life when it becomes excessive and redundant, and yet I do it almost exclusively to others; in fact, I can vividly recall, on several occasions, telling people to shut the fuck up about their melodramatic bullshit. I sort of inadvertently made a bit of a hypocrite out of myself. I blame the media.
Come the new year, I sense something will be greatly different about myself. I can just feel it. Nothing particular, nothing necessarily specific.. just.. different. It could be as mundane as my face, or as extraordinary as my skin color. WHO KNOWS. I just
know, it's there, waiting for me. The events that transpire from here to there will be the door to this change, I just have to walk through it. 2009 will be my year; the rest of this year will prepare me for that.
In other news, the news-of-the-now, I'm still in the programming scene. I've still yet to learn the win32 API, because it's fucking terrifying. I swear, learning that will make me somewhat less than human. Recently I picked up Lua in combination with XML to make WoW addons. Lua is very similar to C with a slightly different syntax, XML, for the way the WoW API uses it, is simple. I have a few projects pending, but I suspect after I finish up with all of this I shall be taking on the challenge of the win32 API. Ugh...
Hal has been taking advantage of this, too. He's gained a 4 level lead on me again, but he knows all too well my superiority in leveling. I will have my vengeance.
