Pushing Up Daisies

 Pushing up daisies.

That's what they call it, right?

Pushing up daisies.

I didn't want to push up any damn daisies. Not in this lifetime or the next. Nevermind that I didn't know the meaning of the phrase when Hofcolt was shoving my limp body into the ground. All I knew was that things were looking mighty grim and the hole I'd been dumped into was pretty deep. I peered up and onto my captors as they circled my would-be grave and scoffed at my bloodied remains.

I had once been called “Stumpy”. Now the title seemed fitting.

As clearly as I could tell they'd taken my left forearm clean off. I could feel nothing beyond my waist and I dare not inch my eyes down to see if something lay beyond my ass. Instead I focused on the remains of my cigarette and the cold eyes looking down on me. Analyzing me. Betraying me. Mocking me.

God. I could use another pack right now.

This one wasn't going to get me over to the afterlife.

I could see Bruno's fat lips moving as his little lackies began filling my hole up with dirt. Hofcolt hadn't the decency to see his right hand man into the great beyond... He only stared me down one final time before that flaxen coat twisted in the wind and the man himself was off and back to his BMW. My opportunities...my prospects...now his.

If I could I'd give him the bird, but my right hand was mangled and torn up. Didn't really care to see if the dogs left any remains of my fingers or not so I continued to puff away at the only thing left to me. This precious and meager cigarette blunt. And now that heavy dirt was piling onto my waist...my neck... And the air in my lungs was stolen away. And the last I could see was the faint glow of that cigarette before it too disappeared.

A Much Better Week!

This week has been rolling out so much better than the last.

I've been feeling great for starters. And feeling in tip top shape usually means I get a whole lot more done, which I have. Looking back on it, I can't believe how horrid I was feeling only just last Thursday. Now I don't have any headaches or neck and shoulder pain.

Well, just a bit of shoulder pain, but I've been trying to stretch for that.

Slowly, but surely I've been attempting to build some sort of routine for myself. I feel if I can start my day off right and end it on a light and happy note then odds are I'll feel pretty good the next day. The key to success here is discipline. I need to remain diligent to any rules I lay down for myself, such as going to bed at ten at night.

I'm just not a night owl. Never have been and I doubt I ever will be.

But I'm really pleased to see this week and my health hitting such a high note.

I'd like to start documenting the highs and lows actually, to see if perhaps there is some sort of correlation. And I'd bet there was somehow, if only in the levels of stress I endure and the types of foods I eat.

That's it for tonight I think. See you all later!~

RIP Almond Orchard

Tragedy struck me as I made my way to my parents house today.

One of the nearby almond orchards I used to frequent was torn out.

I had happened to take video of it just a few weeks earlier.

Shame it was one of just a couple.

I love you, almond orchard.

RIP

My First Let's Play! "Slender: The Eight Pages"

So I tried out my first "Let's Play!" of  "Slender: The Eight Pages. "

It was horrid in the most hilarious way possible.

And because Blogger only allows videos of a certain size I had to reduce this baby until it looked awful x_x;

I had looked up a few tutorials on how to get started. "LP guide for newbies" was cool. I actually followed their advice and picked up a download of "Loilo Game Recorder" as it's free and I am broke.

 The software is easy enough to use, my only problem was in getting my voice level correct with the music and sound of the game. Because I wasn't wearing headphones (oops!) the music didn't sound very loud to me as I was recording and I ended up making the game volume too high. Of course...this Let's Play example is staying right here or will be taken down in a bit. So no one will ever know except those who come across this page very quickly...

I'm also watching the advice shown in darkmindsith's youtube series that can be found here.

Since I've been so busy my "Let's Play" hobby is going to be pretty slow at first, especially since I don't have zhe monies to play zhe games... But as I work up to getting myself situated I'm sure I'll figure something out.

Bubble Tea!

Bubble Tea...

Oh...Bubble Tea...

Was it you... Am I to blind to see?

Is our love...meant to be?

Silly Me
