1337 speak

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010 at 11:55 pm

I’ve been using an increasingly large amount of 1337 (=leet=elite) speak lately in my twitter and blog. Most of it learned playing the World of Warcraft…

Awesomesauce
Weaksauce
lololololol
Epic Fail
Terribad
LOLs
lawl
lul
= Win.
= Fail.
FTW…or FTH (For the Horde)
pwn
nub (n00b)
Pr0n

I enjoy using these terms, it makes me feel young, like I could still talk to a teen, even now. I DO also use old slang as well though…making me old.

Dude
What’s up
Cowabunga! – nah, I don’t really say that

I wonder…what will happen to my 1337 speak now that I’ve stopped playing WoW. It’s undeniable that most of what I learned was from that game…
I never want to get too old that I forget how to talk like a teenage moron. What do I do? I don’t frequent urbandictionary often unless there’s a specific term I want.

I guess I should just play WoW and chill in Dalaran and watch the stupidity. If you’ve ever read/witnessed it, some of it is pretty fracking entertaining….pure genius hidden within pure idiocy. Some very intelligent people drowning their lives and their potential. Kinda like what I did.

Posting 2 old posts = EPIC WIN.
Running out of content = EPIC FAIL.

But that’s what this blog’s all about anyways. some EPIC FAIL. I CTRL-F 13 “Epic Fail”s on this page atm.

Irrelevant. I know that’s not the right word.

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010 at 11:44 pm

After you use the word repeatedly, it tends to lose it’s meaning.

Irrelevant – not related, not applicable, unimportant, not connected

To say my content is irrelevant means to compare it to something. But I don’t really compare it to anything when I use the word meaning that it’s being used incorrectly.

Or so I would have you believe.

The idea is that my content is irrelevant to EVERYTHING. Which is false but I entertain the idea. It makes everything I write seem…even less significant than it already is.

Posting random 2 month old post = win.

The blog will continue! Full speed ahead!

Monday, March 22nd, 2010 at 12:51 am

Being alone with my thoughts for almost 3 hours today made me realize just how much more I want to say/write….really, the only thing necessary for my blog posts is some time alone with my thoughts. Coming up with topics while driving is ridiculously easy. Remembering those same topics by the time I get back to my computer is the tricky part.

I really need to stop…making new posts while I have so many unfinished (but mostly written) posts in my drafts…I should really finish those off before writing new posts…I have like, 15 atm O_O

I tend to resist blogging after I’ve made a meaningful post. Like my last post, I wanted to leave for a few days so that I could get more comments or feedback…but again, self control isn’t my strength and the 3 hour drive I had made me very excited to write.

This weekend

1. My mind was in productive mode…but Zena was here. And when she’s around, it’s so easy to fall out of productive mode. It’s like there’s a fire under my ass to get sh!t done when I’m alone. And then when she’s around, that fire is just a nice warmth…that puts me to sleep.

2. Zena was playing WoW and I remembered the pull and urge I got from WoW. I was interested but not enough to even think about re-logging in. Seriously though, when she comes back and she’s done school and fully into WoW…will I be able to keep away? Can a smoker stop smoking if everyday, someone’s blowing smoke in his face? Can an alcoholic stop drinking if the alcohol is constantly being dangled in front of him? These answers all point to “no”…but will I be able to defy the addiction? I would say time will tell…but no….as I write this, I’ll cancel my account/uninstall it from my comp, at least before Zena gets back. WoW is/was probably the biggest mistake of my entire life. But more about that later *hint* it’s a future blog post…

That’s it for now. Right now I don’t feel like I’ll stop blogging…but then again, I’m also fickle. The gemini part of me makes me feel completely different on different days…or in this case, completely different a few hours later…

Blogging about blogging Part 2

Sunday, March 21st, 2010 at 3:04 pm

Few things regarding this blog:

1. I still want to write but the reason I started blogging is no longer applicable. I’ve completed what I needed to complete with it. This means…I’m going to chill a little on this blog. I’m already slowing down (and that’s a good thing).

2. Thanks to my readers. I count 11 of you that consistently read -voluntarily-. This does not include people whom I tell/force to read my blog (Ron & Chris, you don’t count as my readers…cuz ur jerkfaces…)

3. There were quite a few rants that I’ve accumulated in my head throughout my LIFETIME. And a lot of them have already been written…for example:
“I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do”
Hi. I’m Warren. I’m a web developer.
Life. As seen through the eyes of Warren.
The internet is bad.
“People always leave.”
I’ve only got a couple of -meaningful- blog posts that I have in my head left. This means that either I reduce my number of posts or maintain my meaningless posts…the idiocy ones or the ones written on the fly. So, I’m going to ask you, the readers, do you just like reading whatever? Short posts of all the little things I notice? Or do you prefer posts that are long, more thought out, and…possibly more interesting?

And why don’t I just do what I want? I don’t really know what I want…As I said, the reason I started blogging no longer applies. I want to find new purpose, new motivation. If I don’t have a reason…I’ll revert back to old, lazy Warren. I’m looking for feedback, I’m looking for guidance…

The urge to write

Friday, February 26th, 2010 at 5:57 pm

Argh! I was having such a bad day today. Things just didn’t go well. To be fair, I slept at 2:30 am last night and woke up at 8…I also skipped lunch. I think that probably played a big part in my sh!tty afternoon. I felt really…uneasy. Stressed with nothing to be stressed about. It’s hard to explain.

Anyways, the thing I wanted to do most while I felt this way…was blog. I had this incredible urge to just write about anything. My mind was racing and unfocused and I just wanted to release whatever was in there. I sat in-front of this same webpage that I’m looking at now. It was just me, an old draft, what I’d written before and what I intend to write. Everything else began to fade away.

I never really…had this outlet before. I didn’t even realize how much writing seemed to relax me. I’m trying to think about what I would have done if not for this blog…I would probably have just stewed with my music and my thoughts. Maybe taken a walk to clear my head, I don’t know. Even now, as I write, I feel so focused…everything in the world doesn’t seem to exist. It’s very relaxing.

I’m listening to a song right now, the same song I’ve been listening to for over a week, both at work and at home, replaying over and over….the lyrics just caught my attention as they seem to apply right now:

“Where do you go when you’re lonely? Where do you go when you’re blue?”

Maybe my answer is here. Maybe this is where I go.
