Now don't ask me why I titled this thread ¨From the ashes¨. I dunno...i´ve been trippin' on ¨The Suffering¨ alot lately and itś a bloody amazing game. So yesterday I got to the lighthouse level and came across the Infernas. Realized that you have to kill them and when they get reduced to a pile of ashes, you need to blow away the ash or they get up from it again to burn your ass. So that's been on my mind alot.
But what's also been on my mind alot (less) now is where I was in my last post.
Lets see:
1.Sorry-ass attitude disposed - CHECK
2.Denial gone - CHECK
3.Am I happier now - HELL YEAH!
I guess that´s all i need to ask myself at this stage. Hell! I´m having fun blasting away digital manifestations of evil and suffering!
But anyway - this post is not for me. It´s for a great friend whose probably been through worse and who I fear, is still going through a very hard time. She´s helped me in my darkest hour and here´s my small way of saying Thank you to her.
So here´s a little something I´ve written for this friend. I hope she reads it and it helps in some way:
Phasers can be set to frag
Phasers can be set to stun
4 years later, ´tis sadness you have
but you also had 4 years of fun.
The times you had have taught you well
Good from bad is now easier to tell
So what if Mr Right is not the one for you?
At least the next time he´s around, you can tell him from his smell!
And yes, real wounds are hard to heal
but worse are the ones you cant touch, but can feel.
You helped me out in my time of need,
The truths I always knew, were then revealed.
Try not to burrow too deep,
It will get lonely and it will get dark,
Just imagine how boring it would be
To be a silly jelly-fish when you could be a shark!
You´ve always got friends and you´ve always got me
A friend that can tell you all about video-game history
I´ll send you a latest office photo,
Mario was created by Shigeru Miyamoto.
Private! Your mission objectives are as below:
Say Good Bye! to what's gone and learn to say Hello!
Remember - Anna Nicole Smith has bigger tits
But Gwyneth Paltrow has more hits.
So finally buddy, and you´re a good one too
here are the final words I have to say to you
Chocolates wont make you sweet, just fatter
Let life and its endless atrocities not make you bitter, but always better.
(Say that 10 times and you will magically be transformed into a mouse pad!)
AA - this one´s for you. I can´t say I understand how you feel, but I sure can imagine. I know its not easy. But in the end I can only tell you what you told me - Do what makes you happy. Take a stand for yourself. Take your decision on what you feel is best for YOU. Life will tell you if it was a good or bad decision and you´ll need to live with that. I´ve taken a decision and i´m happy. Don´t let someone else decide what you need to do with your life.
Speak to the friends you´ve missed since last you spoke to them. Do stuff that you´ve wanted to do. Go on! You´ve got your license to thrill!! :)
You´re a great person.
In other related news, I am just so freakin´ pissed off! I was playing ¨The Suffering¨ and the whole bloody game froze when I got past the cemetery after beating the Infernas! Shit! It´s thrown me an hour back into the game and now I have to go through the Single Bullet Theory level all over again! WTF!
Also, can anyone please tell me how to perform a Multality in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks?! Damn...I´m at the Evil Monastary but my skill meter is´nt filling :-(. Aah nevermind....i´ll get it soon!
Finally - here are some handy tips on how to get back at a woman who asks you out to coffee and then starts yappin´ on her phone and then calls her friend:
1.Call your friends and tell them to join you. Make sure that you outnumber her AND her friend by at least 2X. Works like a CHARM if all of them are of the opposite sex.
2.Turn your back towards her and talk to your friends
3.Buy a sandwich that's big enough to be eaten in 30 minutes and talk while chewing. (I dunno - women just hate that!)
4.Make fun of her friends job. This particular friend is a Voice trainer with IBM and I actually told her that the IBM guys need to work alot on being remotely close to comprehendable
5.Stare at her phone. Works as a double whammy if she´s sitting across you, uses a hands-free kit (in a coffe restaurant!!!?!) and has the phone on the table! Mmmmmm....nice....phones...I mean phone! Gofigure!
6.Tell her you´re having fun. Then say bye 5 minutes later and walk out with your friends.
Oh joy.....
