Diary of an (Ex?) WoW Addict

Well, a bit ago on another local, I’ve been pondering about various seo consulting services. They all offer the promise of higher page rankings or better searchablity for a bit of moolah. But thing is, should I care so much if said people find me that much quicker under a key word?

I was looking around for trade show flooring. Why said flooring? Because it is way more durable that regular lock in place flooring – and has the added fun of not looking like it came out of a child’s playroom. See, I have my own computer area. I like its command center feel and wanted to ‘spruce’ it up more.

Now, this path I’m on has been a rather wonderful yet hard one. I mean freelancing? Really? Let this sink into your head. Freelancing. Despite the ‘free’ in said word, it has not been a free ride lemme tells ya. It’s been countless pitching, hunting, weeding and downright hoping. And in said thing there was one constant – my pc. My pc that has stood up to many hours of typing, gaming, moving and other shenanigans.

But this pc (unlike my shiny laptop I got this past Xmas) was not pre built. Not brought from Dell or anything. Nope it was cobbled together from pieces old and new. Like a good little recycler I decided against outright buying a pc prepackaged, and also avoided the bill – getting a pc out the box is at least $2,000 (I mean a worthwhile gaming ready one not those over glorified net browser ones for $500..I’m picky) – and basically looked at my old ailing pc. I looked at it and went ‘Yo, there are some good stuff still here and some that can be useful to people with nothing…and a dead motherboard. Yeah that can go.’ In fact it died mid move to my mothers. This forced me onto a tragically small and underwhelming laptop I borrowed. It made work rather difficult.

In sum, I needed my pc back – and on the cheap as freelance did not equal ‘free’ by any means.

I always think that it's funny when someone watches a show about essentially what their life or their job is about. My dad has always said that he doesn't like watching The Office because it reminds him way too much of the people that he actually works with. When I started watching the show The Big Bang Theory, I could kind of understand what he meant. But the thing is, I really love the show regardless of it reminding too much of my own life. I have a much more exciting social life than the characters on that show do, though.

Oh how I adore anything by shepard fairey. I’ve talked about the artist before, but I have to say it again – their work is fabulous. If it wasn’t for this guy’s work, I would have never gotten fully into gaming.

Now, hear me out. It’s like a 5 degrees of separation thing.

Man, sometimes I wish I had a pallet rack sometimes. When you realize the sheer amount of stuff you own requires pulley systems to move, much less your need to move them in rearranging stuff…yeah.
