The girl and the Mine.

Well it is Saturday just any other Saturday nothing really exciting going on except for oh yeah I got my girlfriend utterly hooked on Minecraft.  She always complained about my obsession.  She never understood how I could play it all the time and how I could play it so much and how I could enjoy watching people play the game.  Well today she told me she wanted to try playing it with me on the xbox.  I haven't played that version in forever pretty much just been playing on the PC, anyway she decided she wanted to try it and after about three hours I had to get up and move on to something else but she just kept on playing it was pretty freaking hilarious actually.  At least now she understands the obsession.  Well actually it isn't as much of an obsession to me any more than it use to be but still.

So over the last few days I have been complaining about my hands getting cold and how I needed to still be able to use all my fingers and what not so I needed some nice fingerless gloves well today I got some nice new Jack Skellington ones.  I just wanted straight black but these are pretty darn nice.  

On the diet front I am doing a very good job.  I have been pretty successful when it comes to trying to eat Vegan I discovered that the cheese I am eating still has milk protein in it but for a start I think it is pretty impressive.  Also I have found that I get full a lot faster and stay full longer which is freaking great.   Well I am going to sit down and watch some more Primeval  until the GF is done with work.  It seems I cant get through a single day without watching some.

Caved In.

Well I caved in and bought Minecraft for the PC and honestly I could not be happier.  The sky really is the limit when it comes to what you can do with this game.  Also I hate to admit it but I feel my gaming preference beginning to shift from consoles to PC.  Currently I have only been playing on peaceful just because I still haven't gotten use to the controls of a PC that who AWSD is a little crazy though using a mouse is far easier than using an analog stick to to aim. Also the addition of mods and texture packs are pretty awesome.  Currently I am only using the Optifine Mod and the Boardercraft texture pack which is awesome.  I don't really have too much else to say right now.  The diet is going pretty crappy but each day is a new day.  Today I made sure not to bring that much stuff with me to work so that I am limited to just my breakfast and what I brought for lunch I also didn't bring any money for the vending machines.  We will see how it goes.  Most likely I will just stuff my face when I get home.

Damn You Philly Pretzel Factory

Man Thursdays are great days......... You know why I love Thursdays?...... PHILLY PRETZEL FACTORY!!!!! OK I love and hate them.  So the amazing company that I work for they really know how to take care of us.  Mondays they provide bagels, Wednesdays are a catered lunch I don't ever partake in that because of the inability to count the calories.  Thursdays is PPF (yummy)  I allow myself two of those and then Fridays they alternate between Pizza and Subs.  I don't eat the pizza on pizza days but I definitely enjoy a little Roast Beef Hoagie on Hoagie Fridays. 

OK I am done talking about that.  I was trying to think about something to write about from last night but I realized I did absolutely nothing last night.  I watched a couple of iHasCupquake Minecraft videos last night caught up on the Minecraft Hunger Games they played well the first and second I had already watched them both from Captain Sparklez and AntVenoms perspective but it was really cool to see it from Cupquakes perspective because you got to see the drama from the air. I also caught up on some of her old Quake N Bake videos which are freaking awesome.  If you are into nerdy edible treats they are worth the watch.  Geeky yummy snacks abound.  It lets me satisfy my food addiction without actually eating anything.  She also has a great series called Geeky Goodies that teach you how to make all kinds of geeky and wonderful decor things.  Pretty awesome.

On the diet front yesterday was a great day I stayed below my calorie limit and that is always a plus.  I need to hurry up and get paid so that I can buy some better food to eat though.  I am staying below my calorie limit but the quality of the food isn't as good as I would like but I am going to make a change to that. 

I think I slept on my wrist weird last night because I woke up and I could barely move it.  It even hurt shifting my car on the way to work.  I have it wrapped and I hope it starts to feel better soon...

In the realm of TV I am going to try to giving Breaking Bad another chance this evening I watched like the first like six episodes but I kept losing interest in the show every time that Walt would do something evil and decide he wanted to go home and bang his annoying wife it always annoyed me.  OK well I am running out of stuff to say and am probably going to start rambling soon.

Much Love

Minecraft Obsession

OK so my daughter was telling me about this game called Minecraft and that it was so awesome and there were videos on YouTube and I was like sure I will take a gander at this since she loves the videos.  I was not impressed I thought it was such a stupid idea for a game.  Then it came out as part of the Xbox Arcade and I downloaded and for her.... I was hooked the first time I spawned into that blocky world and was forced to survive that first night.  The first time I heard that freaking hissing sound and was blown to bits by something that I didn't even see I knew I was in for a bad time.  I have finally made the decision to upgrade to the PC version of the game and really give into my obsession.

I am choosing to lay the blame for my addiction to Minecraft not on myself but on YouTubers like iHasCupquake, AntVenom, sethbling and of course I cant mention Minecraft and YouTube without mentioning CaptainSparklez.  What these incredible people are able to do and create with this game is amazing I love games I love gaming I will admit it though I am horrible I suck beyond all belief but that is not what games are about they are about fun and creativity and killing time.  Minecraft has created the perfect tool for doing all of those. 

Even now as I am typing this blog post I am being destracted by Cupquakes Minecraft Single Player videos.

OK enough about that I just wanted to take a moment to rant about something that I take enjoyment from.  On to another note the battle against the bulge is going I am slowly making some progress which is a good thing I don't want just rush in and lose a bunch of weight.  I have been down that road before and after the rapid weightloss it was always just a matter of a few months before I have put even more weight on.  So I think that going slow is the better way to go.  I am hoping to get this blog and everything about it more organized and less of a mess.  I am hoping that just by typing everyday perhaps I will get better at it.

Much Love

Still Trying to Be A Blogger

I haven't posted anything for awhile for the usual reasons that I just don't have anything of interest to share.  I don't really have anything interesting to say here but I figured I would at least type up something.  I have been  eating like a pig as is the usual but I have been hating myself for it more than I have in the past.  I don't really want to delve on that too much because I feel like I am beating a dead horse on that topic and I feel that by worrying about it so much I am doing myself more harm than good so I am going to spend my time talking about other things for example dreams.

The other night I had a bizarre dream that I was drinking with the guys from Roosterteeth and Achievement Hunter and I drank too much and passed out and when I woke up I discovered that Burnie and Jack had shaved my beard off.  I really love my beard but didn't realize how much I loved my beard until I woke up and was like "nooooo"  I mean I woke up actually upset at some of the funniest people I have never had the chance to actually meet.   It was quiet humorous.

No onto what I have been playing lately.

I am still playing a lot of Minecraft it is kind of great because you don't have to do anything it is just enjoy time and do nothing.  Then I started playing Darksiders II.  It is a pretty good game I haven't gotten too far into it because it is mostly just an adventure kind of hack and slash game.  I keep trying to devote more time to it but who knows perhaps in time I will love it the way I hope too.  I have also been debating giving Fallout 3 another shot.  I tried playing it when it first came out but honestly I just couldn't seem to get into it.  I havent made up my mind yet on if I am going to take the time again.

Well that is something I will hopefully get to type some more at a later date and have more interesting things to say.

Blessed Be.
