Happy News!Just posting good news, my first nephew ever was born yesterday, 5/14, and both my sister and he are doing very well! He is cute as hell, 7lbs 1 ounce for any who wish to know. And we can already tell that at least for his birth my side of the blood is strong in him  Just wished to share. WOOHOO!

God damn it! SAO is just..wow!This is kinda of a sad moment but I really, really am immersing myself into an anime a friend recommended to me. Sometimes these things are just amusing, a good laugh, a scare, what-have-you, but this one...omg I wish I had found it sooner! If I can find a version of it that is not imported I will buy it IMMEDIATELY and set it to loop until the end of Goddamn time!
Sword Art Online hits notes I missed on the first watch through and just makes me appreciate that someone really did their homework on character and world development. A slight brush here and there and it just reveals all the little things that you never notice as the big explosions or fantastic fights stand out in your mind but become woven into it all to seal the world into your mind. LIve shows do this often better than anime because living people do it naturally as breathing, reacting and improvising the scripts given to them to make it more alive to the audience.
An anime that does this however has something that is damn rare to find, a truly reactive world where the audience actually can feel for the characters and wonder how it would be if all of this was happening to them. Hell even when I try to find holes in it, parts come along to fill it in in ways that actually make logical sense of all things! I love animes that explore that human connection in real terms, while I enjoy the hell out of a romp with Naruto or Tenchi, I recognize that I simply enjoy the stories. When I actually enjoy the CHARACTERS on the other hand, as in I would gladly walk up on the street and talk to them, that is when I know you have found gold.
I know I am glowing and more, but honestly, watch it yourselves, see what you see and feel free to share you own opinions. There are characters in the pantheon everywhere like them, but to bring such beings to life and make you feel for them as I felt for these ones, it is truly an awesome moment when you realize you want to help, comfort, and laugh with these people. That is not an easy thing to get an audience to do, trust me I have seen the gamut of genre and a story can illicit laughter, tears, and screams, but if the thought of a particular character makes you wonder how it all turned out and what the next steps were, no matter how mundane, that is a living being.
No matter the reality I applaude this kind of work breathing life from pages to anime. I truly hope I find something like this again, and I could see more of the adventures of Kirito and Asuna...that would be fucking awesome!

Missing ThreadsSo started a series of what is known as one shots of Fan Fiction.net Have to give hats off to Zodi for inspiring me a bit and also just a need to fill in some gaps in my favorite stories, or in some cases, quell the rage of endings that just left me infuriated when only a handful of steps remained to make resolution happen.
Arrogant...definitely, but for the OCD in me I need the closure. Till then I am just playing with plot holes.

The Dragon comesAny day now I will be getting a call. This call will change my life in ways I will never be able to foresee. I find I wonder if I will be of any help, inspiration, or cautionary tale for him. This nephew of mine that has yet to find an official name shall always be known by the name FB and relatives have called him for almost 6 months, Dragon. Even if he is christened with a full name, that name will be with him a long time. I do not think he appreciates that he has the most fierce parents I think I know. I have no fear for this child growing up and not being prepared for the world.
His mother is my sister, a woman I would never dream of ticking off in a hundred million years. She will love him unconditionally and hopefully inspire the fear of incurring the wrath of a woman without good reason long before he reaches maturity. His father has proven to be of tougher metal than any steel I could conjure, weathering storms of life and relationships to reach the shore of happiness I see now. There is no perfection with them, but wonderfully flawed marriage and dreams.
I have been called to be a Godfather to him, and I wonder what I will be to him. My own Godfather and Godmother have special places in my hearts. My Godmother has always given me reason to look forward to seeing her and reaching levels of family relations I rarely find, but cherish all the more. My Godfather is the man that showed me how fun life can be if I just let the worries go when the time comes to relax. He never loses sight of what he wants and never misses a chance to enjoy life. He is not always the easiest man for me to understand, but his lessons are with me even now.
I do not know what kind of man I am, I never did find the answers I wanted, but I found many I needed. Maybe that is the role I can play, a man to save my nephew time with mistakes he need not be bothered with. Or more likely I can at least understand when he does not want to speak the words and help him move passed those moments. Who knows, if nothing else I know I will be a shield if needed, a guide if able, and above all, an Uncle he can call on without reservation.
Any day he will breathe his first open breath in the world and my world will change. My sister and brother-in-law will have a long journey of tears and smiles, but I will help in whatever capacity I can. It is not duty I do this, but because I am part of them as they are part of me. The gift they have given me I can never repay save to be the best I can be. Fly free Dragon, and know you are never alone, not ever.

The futureIt does not wait, that damnable horizon. It continually gets more distinct and clearer as each steps takes us inexorably forward. Some fear what they will see, others welcome it, and quite a few just ignore it because they do not care to ponder it. Yet it comes whether you are prepared for it or not. It does not yield to pleas or last second attempts, it simply is. It has no care for what you feel you deserve, nor does it take pity on you for the suffering you endure.
It simply arrives and you are left with the realization of regrets, dreams fulfilled, and loves either lost or found to fill your mind and heart. You suddenly see pieces fall into place to hopefully make a mosaic of your life that may or may not be what you imagined it to be. Always that distant shore we all arrive at one way or the other.
When it resolves into the finely detailed coastline as wave after wave washes against it, we realize that the world has such a far way to go, and we will not see its ultimate destination. The rocks await us all, yet they are not vindictive or malicious, they simply are. We are not meant to have all the answers, nor are we meant to drift forever. We all simply flow to that misty horizon and hopefully with time to truly accept its approach.
Grasp the little eddies and waves on the way, the occasional whirlpool should not be passed by, and weather the storms as best you can. That horizon is always coming, it is always going to be there, and one day you will be cast against it like all before, and all to follow.

PayPal headacheSo I had to let my Sponsorship expire after I forced a cancellation because PayPal refused to let me update my info the easy way. I tried a direct approach first and STILL got notice that my payment was not working. Got it all fixed at last but good God why did it take four days of run around to do something simple as update my payment info?!

Single PC Gaming RegretStarCraft.....hands down the PC game next to Homeworld that sucked me into PC gaming and in general I went back to them until the software no longer was supported in one case, and until the disks shattered on another. Good times. Heart of the Swarm is coming at long last and I no longer have the ability to play it....God damn it. I may need to borrow a friend here to live through vicariously. No way I can afford a PC to play....all of you that are going to see the story of Kerrigan unfold and the seemingly very interesting changes to the units....I am envious as hell and drool at what I am missing out on.
