Seems I get a lot of people wanting my advice, or just want to talk to me. I seem to be one of those people that everyone wants to tell their secrets to. They all seem to trust me with their thoughts. With good reason, as I have no problem keeping it to myself.
I don’t seem to think like others though, as I say what ever I want when I want and I don’t care what others think about what I say or do. Maybe they enjoy that I have interesting views on things. Or maybe I just have one of those voices, that sooths or sounds trusting, or something.
With advice though, I have the same problem as everyone else: I should listen to my own advice and do the things I tell myself. But we all seem to not take our own advice. We need someone else to tell us what we are already thinking. As if it gives us permission to do those things.
Sometimes we get an idea. An idea to do something, or go somewhere, or to meet someone. There seems to be two types of people. Ones who don’t think twice and just do, and the others that sit and try to make a calculated thought about it.
The ones who don’t think twice and just do. Are the risk takers. They are the ones that seems to be the more successful ones. The ones others look up to. The leaders. The ones that have the most fun in life.
The other, calculated ones. Are the ones that dont make as many mistakes. Are safe. Are the ones you can depend on. They don’t seem to go any where in life because they are always too busy thinking about the things they want to do, that they never actually do them. If they actually do finally decide, most of the time it’s too late.
Things change too often for us to not take chance. Take a risk. Yet we all want to be safe and not get hurt. We miss out on too many opportunities in life to not take risks. We are scared of the unknown. We feel we wont know what to do once we do it. What we will say if we meet a new person, what we will do once we go somewhere new, how we will do the new job we got.
The real problem is not taking a risk and failing. It’s taking a risk and it being successful.
Take a risk today. Worst feeling is, not knowing what it would have been like.
I know nothing in life is easy, and nothing is handed to you. You have to work hard for what you have and what you want in life. All my life, I have just let things happen to me, and so far everything has worked out in the end. But I am ready to take control and make it happen now.
I am about to quit something I love, something I am good at, something that takes up a lot of my time. I have made a name for myself and people look up to me. I am the best of the best, but I cannot do it anymore with my new path I want to take in life. I have support and I am willing to make this sacrifice. Maybe later on I will come back to you. I know I will crave you, like an addiction. I have to keep strong.
Life always seem to do this to me. When I am going good something bad happens, well not just something, but everything. All at once. The opposite happens too, when everything is bad and wrong and miserable, I get a bunch of good things all at once. I made up my mind to change, and I have this new opportunity now. I also got offered another opportunity and now I have to make a choice between the two. Maybe I will just take a taste of the latter.
Well, that was an adventure. Haven’t been to the movies in ages and I got to share it with someone special which made me very happy. We went and saw Kick-Ass, or as my ticket read Kick-A** lol.
Was a decent movie. I didn’t expect as much blood as there was. Had a lot of neat things that I haven’t ever saw in a action movie, ie Mindy. Makes me look at 11 yr old girls differently now!
Was quite odd though, was a quiet movie really, just showing a dork trying to act out his passion. Then all the sudden this little girl comes into the picture and slices peoples body parts off and stabs and shoots people. Was intense.
Favorite scene was testing how it felt to get shot.
When we are young we all do this. We are stubborn. We dont listen to anyone but ourselves. We dont want help from anyone because we want to prove we are an adult and can be self sufficient. We get this immense feeling of freedom at 18 that just makes us want to rebel against everything…
We all need that immature new adult life, where we make mistakes, try new things, love, have your heart broken, get into trouble, loose close family or friends, make new friends, live on our own, etc. It helps further define who we are as people and sharpen us to be a real adult, with responsibilities.
Getting closer to 30 though, it seems we all have this time when we start to become more aware of how we are as a person. What we want in life. What makes us truly happy.
The more that we become aware of how we act and what we do, the more mature we become.
It’s fun, cause looking back over the past 5~10 years, I know I did this, I know people told me I was wrong, and I didn’t listen to them. Now I find myself telling the younger generation the same things and those people don’t want to believe it either. I hope I can be there in the next 10 years to have a laugh with them as they realize the same thing. They will become self aware and thus mature as well.
One of the moments in life that changed the way I think.
I was at work one day. A older guy came in, prolly around 60~70. As I was helping him, we talked.
He asked if I was married. I remember chuckling and I said, ‘I am only 22′. He went on to tell me how long he had been married. Something like 50 years or something, I don’t recall the exact number, but stopped dead in his track and looked at me, stared sincerely in my eyes and asked me.
‘You know why I am still married?’
The look in his eye, the way he asked that. I was confused and curious. I still remember it clearly.
His answer was powerful.
‘We both are too stubborn to leave each other… That my boy, that’s called love.’
I still think back on that. Too stubborn to leave each other. What does that really mean.
When ever I meet a new woman, I ask myself that. ‘Will I be too stubborn to leave this one? Will she be too stubborn to leave me?’
Love is an interesting emotion. It can feel different for different people. It makes us feel happy, sad, and angry. Yet, we all, deep down inside, long for it. We all want to be loved, and to love someone. To grow old and enjoy life together. To have a family of our own, whether that be kids or animals in the family you share.
I may not be at that point in my life to settle down. The thought it nice though. I will work on finding someone I am too stubborn to leave first. Then go from there.
My first trip alone. My first time flying. My first time riding in a taxi. My fist time seeing the Atlantic Ocean. My first time being on the east coast.
The first 4 hours were amazing. The next 68 were horrible.
This is one of those games you really must try. There is no explaining it, just go and download it. I play it on and off when I am in between other MMOs. I have 4 lvl 50s and a few low lvl toons as well. I have half my toon sspecced STR and other half specced CHA.
My highest lvl toon is Kamu on oobag. He is a a Will o’the Wisp Ilusioner. I also have a Skraeling Mu-Fu Monk with 346 STR too!
Oh, and on the forums, I found this epic post. Had to share it.
Hi, I am new to this game, but I think I have found a home. I have been into MMO for sometime now and this game looks like the next WOW! I currently have a level seven (crossing my fingers to hit level 8 tonight) double wookie bastard lunatic. I am not sure if I want to play this character as my main or my alt. Anyways I have a ton of questions that I was hoping to have answered. I don’t want to waste time searching the forums because that is clearly time away from advancing my character. First off, I joined the Pemptus server since that one seems to be running the PVP roleplaying ruleset. My questions in no particular order are:
What is the best character for an alt and/or mule?
I went out and bought a G15 keyboard for this game and can’t find any macro for it. I have written a few of my own, but does anyone have any that the can share.
Where can I get the CE edition of the game? I am pretty sure I am running the demo and/or an early beta version because I just upgrade my graphics card to a DX10 Nvidia 9800 and still can’t get the graphics to come on but I am progressing so I am not too concerned since I didn’t see anything in the help file that said that I couldn’t use the same character across different version of the client although when I called EB and asked if they had either the platinum or CE edition of PQ the guy told me that he could not find it in his list. He asked who the publisher was, but I didn’t know. Who is it, then I can order it from them.
Are there any guilds that I can join? I am on the east coast and prefer to play from around 7-11pm EST. I would like to join an active guild that likes to group, and maybe can help me get some better equipment and maybe even take me to a place to power level.
And finally, I need to get more gold which I usually will buy from real world vendor, but since I can’t find the chat/in-game email system, can someone tell me how to enable it. (sorry for ending my Sentence with a preposition - I hate grammar Nazi’s, but I need to get back to the game)
(the post been sitting in my drafts for almost a yr now!)
