Life of Brian

How does a llama laugh out loud?

LLOLL

You’re welcome.

I read an article in the new WIRED magazine today and was inspired to start writing and developing my alphabet that I started nearly 4 years ago.  Ever since I read the lore behind Lord of the Rings and how the story was built around a language J.R.R. Tolkien invented and worked on for most of his life, I was compelled to do the same thing.  Little did I know at the time that Tolkien was a linguist and developed this language from a technical and scientific background that not only made the language feel real and used but also was as structurally sound as any real language is today.  I just happened to like writing and decided to make some curvy lines and call it good.

However, after reading this article in WIRED I got reinvigorated to put more time into my alphabet.  It’s not a language but an alternative to the alphabet we currently use today.  Sort of like a code or cipher.  Most people, (my wife included), would call this wasting time and not acting my age, but to me it’s fun and it gets my mind off of work, life and all the stuff that I needn’t bother myself with when I don’t really need to.  Also it allows me to write things that only I myself can read and there’s no proof, except for the master copy, of what any of it means. 

Perhaps I’ll publish it one day before I die and all of my secrets will be known.  And who knows, I could possibly quite literally re-write history, (and the way we write).

On my mage I’ve taken up a new hobby in WoW:  BASE jumping.  I get to the top of a high tower and jump.  Then I’ll activate Slow Fall and see how far I can float.  It’s strangely therapeutic.  Try it sometime.  It’s really fun.

If you’ve been keeping up with anything on my blog you’ll notice a big change.  I’ve decided to tone down my theme and I’ve gone drab.  I like it.  It’s simple, easy on the eyes and not too horribly simple that it’s boring, (not yet anyway).

I’ve also decided to take a break from World of Warcraft to catch up on some things I’ve been missing out on.  I’m not going to stop playing all together, just not as much.  Now, seeing that I’ve been employed for the past 6 months, my playing has been cut down considerably, but I really want to start doing more things, preferably outside.

There’s been a lot of changes going on in my life over the past 6 months, mainly my job and most of the changes have been taking place at said job and those changes have been coming home with me lately.  I do hope Megan understands that any outward aggression is not directed at her, but more in the sense somewhat in her general direction, give or take about 10 feet on either side.  I only do that because I know she listens very well and understands that my anger is not directed at her, again about 10 feet off on either side.  She’s very good at deflecting an oncoming barrage of negativity from my immediate direction.  Fuck, this is confusing even me.  What I’m getting at, thank you Megan for being so patient with my transition back into the working world and thank you for not taking anything too personal.

Now, I have to work tonight, (FML) and as it stands now I’m going to get less than  hours of sleep so I guess I need to wrap this up.

Goodnight,
