Ringing In the New Year
Today is the last day of 2008! It’s been a very crazy year, both personally and for the world. I think the crowning moment of this year was the election of Barack Obama as the first Black President of this country! Such a time proved that this country is ready to put its dark past behind us, and move forward in the name of Progress. I hope this year can see that forward-movement continuing and growing stronger in its momentum!

Changing While We Slept
A short while ago I posted an entry over at my sometimey blog TheCaffeinatedTraveler, where I discussed some of the things revealed by our election of Barack Obama for President of the United States. I would love it if you all could check it out and tell me what you think! Thanks!

Sorry For Being Away
I've been (hopefully) noticeably absent from Geeks for a bit lately, but I assure any of you out there who might perchance to read this, that I've carried you all with me everywhere!
This may or may not be partially due to the fact that I've been busy upping my Geek status by purchasing a new Acer Laptop! Not top-of-the-line by any means, yet it serves to make me feel a little more geeky and closer to those who have the big bucks to get the really good stuff!
I also got a new Creative Labs mp3… Continue

A Puddle of Mud
Recently, I've enrolled myself in an Online College to pursue a small degree in IT. So far, its proven to be manageable, but the effect it's having on my hobbies is approaching "devastating". My mind has become so swamped with homework related ideas and lessons that I'm having a harder time focusing on my usual "fanboyisms", like comics or Obama or Geeks.Pirillo.com.
Does anyone else out there have similar problems? I mean, I still find pleasure in the things I love, but its almost like… Continue

R.I.P. My Friend
Today marks a sad day in my Gaming Life. At about 6:00am this morning, my beloved Xbox 360 was diagnosed with the dreaded Red Rings of Death. The funeral has been post-poned while an autopsy is being performed to determine the cause of death. Xbox leaves behind a Gameboy Micro with one Game (Golden Sun) and a crappy PC with Neverwinter Nights and Call of Duty installed.

- Ah yes, Beavis and Butthead. I think what cracks me up about them the most is how they always manage to do the wrong thing and do it hilariously.

Teagen the Rogue said… - A Game of Thrones is one of the most fascinating stories I have ever read to be honest, there are so many elements of D&D entwined with it and yet while you read the book you almost feel like you are watching a movie and all if it is in your own mind.
Havent tried the board games for it or the books but I might seek them out and give them a whirl, I always like to try out new games and see what they are like.
Jpop is a very interesting type of music to listen to because it almost seems like most Jpop is theatrical and if you ever watch any concerts done by the artists that's pretty much what the performances are.
Ayumi Hamasaki, Gackt, Hyde, Miyavi, Asian Kung Fu Generation and Utada Hikaru are some of the other artists I've listened to but I need to catch up on some of their newer work, heh.
