This upcoming week is probably the best way to kick September of 2008 the FUCK out of my life. Like any other break from a wave of massive depression I can surface and breathe for a moment. This week is my moment. It might be your moment too. But give me like 2.50 a month and then maybe i’ll let you vent about your shit, ON MY WEBSPACE YEAH!?

I’m sorry if that came off angry. I’m really not. As a matter of fact i’m at work right now and enjoying it. This past week has been good yet i’ve been too self obsessed with work, worries, and World of Warcraft to realize it. I’m borderline Stranglethorn Vale ready, reason enough to celebrate life.

Oh lawd the weather be a changin’ out here in the desert. I always notice the distinct farewell of summer because outside smells amazing and my room smells like last summers sweaty assholes. My blanket is no longer the battered housewife that sleeps on the floor after I violently kick it off. My ceiling fan can be turned off for the first time in 12 years. And now the frying of my genitals by my laptop is a welcomed source of warmth. It’s going to be a beautiful next few months.

However fall in Palmdale is a bittersweet reminder that it’s going to be a much different season away from Cal Poly Pomona. My roommate Erich and I can no longer cuddle together watching dirtbike movies, whispering sweet highly offensive racial remarks into each others ears. With all honesty though the fall quarter was perfect at a foreign school such as Cal Poly. You could go outside to socialize. All day every day was perfect smoking weather. Underneath the 100 ft of cow shit and freshmen body odor you could still smell the beauty of fall. It was perfect…

Ok ok ok ok. I spent like 15 mins too long on this. It’s now back to work.

I’m sick. I’m at work. And I haven’t seen a living creature called a customer for over 4 hours. There’s work to be done but the weather being 236 degrees is not tempting me to do it at this exact moment.

Sundays are meh.

In other news the World of Warcraft bug has bit me. Not since I was sixteen have I been so excited to run home and play. There’s something about being level 13 again that gets me giddy about logging on. Although this character is mainly just a crutch to my father it’s slowly taking on the role of my own personal jesus. Named in honor of one of my favorite musicians of all time he not only looks bad ass but weilds everything under the moon. The warrior seems like MY class and sadly i’ve been avoiding it like “I love Lucy” re runs. As easy as it is to be a good warrior it’s that much easier to be a shitty one. If anything i’m just looking to serve my purpose as honorary meat shield. Also to avoid all responsibilities of real life.

So it was a few days ago that the author of that book you read in the 4th grade was vacationing in Scotland. Nicholas Evans wrote the book “The Horse Whisperer” and was apparently a huge Super Mario fan.  This dude and his wife actually picked the mushrooms up out of a forest, brought them back, boiled them, then proceeded to have their kidneys nearly fail. Last time I checked that’s everything they tell you NOT to do with wild mushrooms.

No growing, no ability to shoot fireballs, no 1-up, just Dialysis.

So this is totally cool to me that I can have a blog. And that the web adress for it is “barstow120.com/blog”.

It seems like such a small accomplishment to most but it was the god damn trials of Olympus for me.
I think it’s been almost a month since I bought the domain and web space. Sadly I can’t bribe myself into using it though. I’ve been trying to cheat my way through web design by using the lovely program Dreamweaver and it’s great! Except there are times where it will not hesitate one bit to call me an asshat. It probably doesn’t help that i’ve been trying to steal the exact layout of another website, x-entertainment.com which is the main inspiration for this site in the first place. I’m making every effort to get the site running by late September/ early October. Mainly just so I have an excuse to buy all kinds of halloween crap to write about.

Yadda yadda this blog will probably go through about 500 themes, have a 1000 posts before I get the actual site up, and contain 1500 excuses why I haven’t written anything about smurfs yet.

There’s really no point to this blog post other than to tell you I haven’t flaked, i’m still alive, and that I still want to go in on that dub sac with you.

Love, Josh
