My life has become this repetitive cycle of work, work, and more work. I mean, I guess I could add more into the day portions of my life since I work mainly during the nights, but sleeping in is just so good!
Anyway, I've had a lot of time to think about things lately. And I just felt that I should share some of them right now:
1. Recently I had a senior moment.
I'm only 27 years old and the other day I completely forgot my safety alarm code at work. I've been using that code for just about 2 years now, and last Friday night when I was on my way out, I stood at the keypad and completely bombed. Even though I knew I had forgotten, I tried to input a code anyway, which only added to the confusion because then a whole bunch of other numbers started popping into my head. Employee numbers, bank account numbers, phone numbers. It's quite a scary thing, to completely forget something that you know you know. I had a dream once that I had forgotten how to play the Battle Hymn of the Republic. In the dream I was sitting at the piano and just couldn't get it out. Lord knows if there's one piece of accompaniment that I can play flawlessly in it's entirety [actually not the middle part with the TTBB] it's Wilhousky's Battle Hymn arrangement. That was YEARS ago [the dream], but I remember waking up just disturbed. Anyway, my boss looked up my code for me on the following Tuesday and wrote it down for me on a slip of paper. When I saw the numbers it was kind of weird because I saw them and said "that sure is it!" Nevermind that my brain had decided to delete that portion of information from my memory, right?
2. Recently I've had a break out rash.
Just yesterday I went to the gym and on my way back I looked down at my arms [riding the bicycle]. I noticed a lot of strange looking bumps. I immediately pulled over and investigated my arm. Sure enough, it was covered by these strange [and itchy] lumps. I counted 23 on one arm and then noticed that my other arm had also been plagued! I finished my ride home and decided to take a shower. When I disrobed and walked by the mirror I noticed that the bumps were all over my upper body. You can imagine that I was freaking all the way out. Took my shower, called some friends to see what they had to say. One told me to take a benedryl, another told me to go to the ER and another told me to go to the minor med. I took the third bit of advice today and got checked out. As soon as he saw my arms, the doctor said that I had an allergic reaction to SOMEthing. I couldn't provide any kind of helpful information. He asked me if I had eaten anything new in the last 24 hours, changed laundry detergent, worn new clothes etc. My life has been so repetitive lately that I was very confident when I answered "no" to all of those questions. Nothing new. Nothing has changed, which is why I found it so disturbing that these bumps would just decide to form.... I'm ok, though. I have been stressing a lot for the past few months over my relationship/nonrelationship/thing that never happened but happened with the preacher's son. That whole situation has not only been confusing, angering, saddening, and stressful, but now, apparently, detrimental to my well being [both in mind and body] I've concluded that I need to just let it go. It came to a head [today] when we argued [via text... as usual] over something that really had no point. No matter how much I blame him for being a spineless and selfish boy, it won't make anything better.
3. Mortal Kombat
Recently the Mortal Kombat Trilogy became available on XBL [xbox live] and I quickly downloaded it. Mortal Kombat came out during a time of great memories for me. I was in the fourth grade living in Chula Vista and attending a great school. Too bad the actual game wasn't as great as I remembered it [mainly, of course, because I was trying to integrate the nostalgia of the game with my life's well being at the time]. After getting fed up with the cheapness that is the MK trilogy [and reminded why I am a Street Fighter fanatic] I decided to give MK one last chance and popped in the newest installment of the series into my xbox: MK9. Though the fight engine is greatly improved, the game still lacks, to me. Perhaps I'm just too used to Capcom's style with the Street Fighter series now, but I can't get with it. I've been apart of the fighting game scene here in Memphis for about 4 months now, and I have heard some people say "this isn't street fighter, you need to adapt" which leads me to believe that I'm just acting like an old fogey and not wanting to play anything but the game I know. I wonder though, is playing MK really learning "how to adapt" to an innovative fighting system or is it "learning to adapt" to shitty development?
I've typed a lot for now. I will stop
SUPER HAPPY JOY
