Holy shit, I'm finally writing something here?
Nuts. I've had this section for something like two years, and it only now occurred to me that this could be my main outlet for ANYTHING. Not just short stories, song lyrics or poems. Sad, no? Especially since I used to do it on this very site. This very domain.
Okay, so that's a lie. I was always aware that I could 'blog' here (man, I hate that word, but 'diary' sounds girly and 'journal' sounds too personal), but I never felt that any degree of rambling I posted would be of any value to anyone. Then I took into account the role I myself often play: the lone straggler. That one person who, in a fit of either boredom or misplaced interest, chooses to linger around a certain site and read every thing on every page before they can function normally again. With all I have, there's only enough content to entertain the lone straggler for about... three minutes. Hi.
In addition to that, it seems I've been slowly getting more visitors. I don't know if the bots and web crawlers have been on a rise, or if I'm actually getting attention from some live human beings. Maybe my music is starting to suck less, and that whole word-of-mouth thing is finally taking effect. That would be pretty sweet. Speaking of music, my left speaker fell to its death a few days ago; an annoyance for the listener, a HUGE inconvenience for the bedroom producer.
Needless to say, I'm going on a short musical hiatus until I score a new set of speakers. Another thing on my to-do is getting the PC fixed. The computer itself functions fine, but one of the fans has been acting up for awhile. It is loud. Very loud. Imagine having a small vacuum cleaner sitting next to you and running at full power all the time. I don't know how I've been able to pull off creating songs like this, but it's time for this era of noise to END. YEAH.
In other news, a friend of mine and I have been playing "The Conduit" for Wii a lot lately. The single-player mode is about as generic as you can get, but nonetheless fun - online multiplayer is where the fuck it's at. Again, it probably couldn't hold a candle to Team Fortress 2 or whatever other first-person 'greats' a lot of other people are playing nowadays, but that doesn't take away the fact that you're assassinating people with shotguns, sniping bitches, and vaporizing guys wearing tuxedos and gas masks with alien weaponry from across the world. Were the online connectivity sometimes not so grumpy, I'd have no complaints with my experience of the game as a whole.
