I have a blog?

Funny story... I legitimately forgot I had created this thing since I last posted. So it's about midnight now, I'm sitting here in my bedroom at my dad's house using my crappy 6 year old laptop because it can run a crappy old sprite MMO game that my desktop can't for some reason, and I begin looking through my favorites tab for IE. Down wayyyyy at the bottom is this thing and voila! Here I am with another pointless couple of paragraphs.

So not much has changed since we last talked Internet people, other than now I am an official college graduate with a bachelor's degree... Living at home... Because I don't have any moneys... *Sigh* We work with what we got, right? I still haven't got a clue as to what I'm going to do, though I'm leaning more and more towards grad school, based purely on how much I missed my relaxed college life schedule of 99% video games and procrastination, and 1% work and studying. But for now, it's working my boring ass part time job and paying off bills that have built up already, such as my DUI I got over the summer! Lesson from that one kiddos? Don't drink and drive, for reals... It's really an expensive and tedious process to go through, not to mention LOOOONG, plus you know, you can hurt people and stuff. What's going on right now though?

WAITING FOR THE MIDNIGHT RELEASE OF TRON, THAT'S WHAT'S UP!

Seriously, I cannot wait. I've been drooling over this movie ever since I first saw the teaser clips and a preview of it when I saw Inception in the IMAX. Looks stinkin cool! And I am a true Tron fan. While I was not born when the classic Tron was originally released, I none the less grew up watching it waaayyy too much, along with *cough* Surf Ninjas cough*. Seriously, look up Surf Ninjas, it'll make you crack up that it was really released as a movie. Any who, back to Tron. Is it weird that I take my pre-ordered ticket out out of my wallet every couple of minutes and look at it lovingly? Nah, of course not. Serious take Tron: Legacy? It's going to be epic. I mean, Jeff Bridges is starring it, after the first Tron was just a B movie back in the '80s before he was well known. Second, it's been in production of four years AND Pixar ok'ed the story for the script-writers. Third, and one of my favorites, Daft Punk in all their already-awesomeness, scored the soundtrack, while providing several songs of their own as well. Side note, Olivia Wilde looks ridiculously hot.

Let's see, what else is going on... Oh, I've been playing Call of Duty: Black Ops until my eyes bleed! Sadly though, I've been having to play it on my 360 rather than my PC, as I don't have the money to upgrade its internals, and won't have the money for awhile either. :( Other than that, and the occasional session of Uncharted 2 on my PS3, it's all been work and sleep lately. Alas, I miss my college schedule, especially the parts where I could dedicated 4-5 hours a day easy to video-gaming, Internet surfing, movie and TV show watching... I feel lucky these days to get in a solid hour of gaming, much less actually sitting down and watching a full movie. Especially when all my Netflix movies lately have been Akira Kurosawa flicks. As epic as they are, and as much as I love them (Especially Throne of Blood, Ikiru, and Kagemusha), they are all REALLY long movies. Up next after my Kurosawa binge is Humphrey Bogart though, especially his stuff with Lauren Bacall (By far one of the hottest women that Hollywood has ever produced).

Alas kiddos, it's that time again. That time when I've lost my original train of thought that I had when I started writing this thing, that time when I teeter on whether to delete or post it, that time when my focus transitions to how tired I am rather than on my incessant blabbing. So in Tron fashion, I will say goodbye for now, perhaps I'll see you again in another couple of months? Goodnight users and programs!

FLYNN LIVES!!!

Herro!

I know, I know. I'm getting into the blogging game a little late. Most likely because I've been a self-professed "hata" of the blogging game so long. I mean, who out there on the interwebs cares to read about the self-delusions transribed onto a web page of another person? Then I realized something the other day: Blogging really isn't done for others to read (Though I'm sure plenty of people blog specifically for that reason), rather it's done for the self-satisfaction of that person. A place to put their thoughts into coherent form, a place to vent frustrations of the day, a place to muse about the inner-workings of the universe around them, meanwhile having the deep, down satisfation of knowing that people out there on the internet would be able to read it. Deep right?

Well give me a break. You're reading the blabbings of a person who has never owned nor written in a diary before, much less even thought about making use of a journal/diary before, so all this "writing down your feelings" crap is relatively new to me. I mean, it's not like I've "boycotted" blogging entirely until now, I've always read other peoples before. Sometimes I've read some really interesting things, i.e. intellectual/philosphical statements down to reviews of products on the market, but I've also read some really pointless blogs out there as well, blogs where tweens write down how they felt about the latest videos on Youtube. I'm not going to lie, since this is my first blog, and an introduction of myself to the blogging world, this is going to remain a pretty mundane and boring blabbering of thoughts as I try and figure out what exactly the point of my writings will be. Perhaps I'll do product reviews, such as books I read or movies I see? We'll see.

Moving on... It's now 10pm on a Monday night, relatively early for me seeing as how I've made it a habit to stay up until 2am to 4am every night, for reasons unbeknownst to me. I'm writing this thing instead of writing my last research paper of my undergraduate paper that I SHOULD be doing, as well as putting off the studying for my final on Thursday. I've been getting a kind of queasy feeling in the put of my stomach lately everytime that I think about how this is my last week of college. (Yea I know it's July and normal people graduate in May, but I was three classes short of graduating with a double major, okay?) I guess I'm starting to anticipate the joys of being a grown up, even though being a "grown up" for the next few years for me means living with my dad because I'm going to be financially incapable of living on my own. Fun, right? Not that I don't mind living at home, I have no problems with my family, asides from the occasional argument. It's just that I'm seeming to have a hard time comprehending that after this week, my schooling career is over permanently, not just for a few months while I go on summer break.

Sounds corny, but these worries have been invading my thoughts for about a month now. Probably doesn't help that I'm living in a dorm room by myself with little to no social contact for the last three months with the exception of my classes. I've had wayyy too much time this summer to think. And yes, that can be a bad thing sometimes, especially when you're on the verge of ending your educational career and moving into the professional world as I am. I still honestly have no idea what I'm going to do. I'm not sure if I want to jump straight away into a job, work part-time at my current job for awhile and save up a bit of money, or look into graduate school.

Anywho, I think that's enough ramblings for one night. I'm getting kind of bored with this now, and I can tell I need to stop when I start getting the urge to delete it instead of posting it. My trance music is beatin' in the background, and I have a research paper callin' for my name. Remember kiddo's, the name of the game is "procrastination". :D
