This is going to hurt...

So I am finding that I am finding it harder and harder to play the plethora of video games I have  in my collection. This is not because I dislike video games, I think it is because for 7 years I played a game that so many elements of social interaction in it that I got spoiled with continually having people to play with and generally something to do. Now that I have not played World of Warcraft since April of this year it seems as though I have been longing for those days of yore where I had interactions with those I considered friends. I have school taking up a lot of the time in my life and now that I am through with math ( at least I hope I am) and the classes I am taking are more interesting to me I am burning through homework and finding that the class load is very time manageable ( where the last couple of semesters seemed rather stressful at times, and I really hope I am not jinxing myself by saying this)  and therefore some extra time that I did not have the past couple of semesters. So logic would say that this would be the perfect time to get some gaming in, but with a lack of social interaction I am finding the games to be lacking even if the story is good  (yet there rarely is an original story anymore) and am now at a point where I need to find a way to occupy my mind more actively and this is where my conundrum falls because I have no earthly idea what it is that interests me. So now I must try to find my new outlet for creative stimulation I would very much like to get better at writing , as I am sure you have noticed I type as if I am speaking and not as if I am writing. I will try and get better at this but there is no guarantee ...but we shall see... I will try to update this more frequently with these whimsical writings, Once again faithful reader I thank you for coming along for the ride.

Are you ready for some. .....

Pre season usually means very little to me but I think this season will be better than last season. At least that is my hope.

Summer reading list

So or local library offers digital and audio books that can be checked out just by using my library card. So far this summer I have read roughly 10 percent of a book called Blood of Requiem and it has very good potential to be my second book actually read by me on the Kindle; however, audio books have become a very wonderful surprise to my ears I am about to finish my second one this year the first being Apocalypse Z which was a decent listen. Currently though I am listening to 12 Years a Slave by Solomon Northrop
And it is very good however it seems that not only is it a story about a man who is kidnapped and sold into slavery but also seems to be a book using words that don't seem to be used in todays stories or maybe it is and I just don't read enough. Next on my list is A clash of kings since it seems that watching the second season is something my wife for whatever reason does not want to do so maybe I just might be able to get caught up with where the show is.  Anyways that's what I have been reading, how about you? Are there any good books you would recommend?

Also any errors in words can be blamed on the fact that I am using my phone to write this.

Thou shall not commit hypocrisy

So I was listening to the radio while on the way to work today and I heard a story about a new law being passed in North Dakota regarding the ability  to conceal and carry while at church. I know little about religion and have never been a political enthusiast,yet this does not seem to be the best of locations for this law to be in place.

One of the ten commandments (if I remember correctly) is "Thou shall not kill" so the first tyat pulls out there weapon to defend people in a church is in fact committing a sin. Seems pretty hypocritical to me. But it goes to show one of the many flaws of this country. Now don't get me wrong but it just seems like the church officials would actually want nothing to do with this law since it goes against one of their teachings.

Why would you allow someone tobe armed in a church a place that should be teaching about tolerance and kindness instead is passing that it's okay to shoot.
So you might be saying that I'm some sort of gun hating liberal, but I assure you I am not. As a matter of fact for Christmas I bought a double pack of gift certificates for shooting time at a gun range and used them on my anniversary with my wifeso that should deflate that argument.

The point I am trying to get across is that just because a politician wants to enact a law does not mean it is a good idea whether it is Obama care or concealing a weapon at a place of worship.

So anyway I think I am done rambling for this post, like it or hate it these are thoughts that are in my head and sometimes I just need to get them out.
