The place smells, the drivers suck, and for some reasons there are no left turns. And people wonder why all the bridges charge you to exit. No one in their right mind would pay to enter. Maybe NJ is like Detroit -- you think its ok, until you've lived elsewhere, then you realize how terrible the place is. It was never intended to be more than a joke. Perhaps I should have said Brooklyn, and something about how its almost Manhattan, but just isn't the same. It was simply an accurate retelling of a story I found amusing, and a chance to take a jab at NJ, which is something to never be passed up. Pro Tip: Don't assume I watch that crap.

Uh, as someone who's lived their entire life in North Jersey, this couldn't be farther from the truth. 95% of the people I know and have met hate New Yorkers (ha you should hear my mother when she gets started). The only good thing about the City is the entertainment factor (Broadway ftw). Trust me, I wouldn't *want* to live in NY and pay their out the arse taxes- there's a reason why New Yorkers come to Jersey outlet malls to shop. Pro Tip: What you see on the Real Housewives of New Jersey isn't the status quo by any way, shape or form. “They so badly want to be Odin (NYC) but, like the real Jersey, is where those not quite good enough for NYC end up.”

Two very different replies depending on which is the case. I forget if all ya'll Cannucks use the metric or the far superior imperial system for confusing elementary schoolers and measuring stuff. However, shortly after I made this post, I actually fired up a 14-day trial of FFXI. It is going better than I'd expected. So well that if I wasn't going on vacation for a few weeks starting next week, I'd strongly consider re-activating my character this week, at least to try to remember how to play, write a macro, etc. I’m assuming that isn’t KG and is instead lbs?

Silly tarus. My mage would fit your requirements. She is in almost all epics, except for one trinket, which is an iLevel 200 blue item. My priest is not quite. I have a handful of blues, but could probably get some badge gear for the major slots. As much as I'd love to play with you guys, I'm actually liking this end result. By forcing myself to not play, I'm forcing myself to do something. So, I'm taking the whole summer off from MMOs. I think I need it. Heh. Silly tarus.

It wasn't on Fenrir and my 14-day trial has expired. I've actually canceled my WoW account too. I really wasn't having fun and the guild I joined on Drenden sucked. The raid leader acted like a PuG. Oh well, broke the addiction, so I should thank him, except he's still making some friends miserable. If the servers had come back up tonight I would have (possibly) done an Ulduar, just to see it. Oh well, the account runs out of time in under 24 hours now. Haha, nice. It wasn’t on Fenrir and my 14-day trial has expired.

At the moment though, my old computer died, so I cannot post too much. My new computer doesn't have photoshop loaded, nor does it have fraps right now. And Vista does some funky things when I press 'Print Screen', which is my old screenshot button. I'm not sure exactly what I'm planning, but whatever I do, it would be moved to a wordpress.com site. There are some things I don't like about wp.com, but there is also a lot of things I don't want to handle myself. I do still play WoW.

You were always prepared as any job ya came on and I know I as well as many others will miss you. Be sure to keep an EM pearl so if you ever do decide to come back you will have a home. Hopefully you will have fun with other things you may do and I will keep checking your blog as I think you are a very talented photographer and always enjoy looking at your pictures. Hopefully you will see this as I don't think I will see you on the game. Take care of yourself Pyra and you know my email so you are welcome to send me PMs or emails anytime you want.

Everyone celebrating is black. Everyone on TV cheering for Obama, is black. Race was a HUGE issue because the people and the media made it one (and Obama just strongly hinted and let others pick it all up). Look at Marrion Barry, who keeps winning the election in DC, because he is black. Even the Obama is a monkey images. When its Bush, it is 1st amendment, when it is Obama, OMG racist! Where I'm from, the Democrats control everything. I'm so sick of Democrats. VA just elected to the senate a guy who raised taxes as governor when the state had a $5B surplus, because he just wanted to raise taxes. He played the race card. He was just subtle about it.
