How’s the weather?
At work we have to go outside for a smoke, and inevitably people will be walking by all the time. Now for me, a hi will suffice. “Bah, it’s raining, I hate the rain”. Yes thank you Captain Obvious, I can see that quite clearly, and feel it by the water splashing everywhere on me. I know it’s meant well, but it still annoys me at times. Especially when it happens too many times in any one day. But it’s small talk, and a way for people to reach out and connect I suppose.

So…
How’s the weather?

but you can call me XIII. Weird isn’t it, how attached we become to names. I’ve now been online since about 1995 and back then nicknames were the most normal thing on the world wide web. So was common decency and respect, but that’s a topic for another entry. The point being, fast forward to 2007 and I’m a lot older and wiser *cough* and I visit a lot of sites these days where people just go by their real name instead of a nick. And sure, why not? It seems that on forums nicknames are still the way to go. But anno 2007 I do a lot more than just visit forums, and let’s face it, they seem to be dying a bit anyway. It’s always been a bit amusing to have people ask me what my ‘real’ name is and be all mysterious, especially back in ye golden days. Also I want to use this front page blog more as my central hub where I gather and combine everything from all the networking sites as well, many of which I use my real name on, such as on LinkedIn or the dutch (and slightly less obnoxious) version of MySpace called Hyves.
But I’ll still hang on to XIII, after all this time it just feels natural.

The mind works in mysterious ways, I still don’t get why you sometimes dream the way you do. It can be unsettling at times, waking up covered in sweat and totally out of it. It’s also always puzzled me why you can still remember it vividly when you wake up but it fades so quickly in the hours afterwards.

… meh.

4am and still fully awake.
Much to think about. Hmm.

My arms hurt like hell, my stomache hurts like hell, my chest muscles ache, I feel like I could punch a hole through a wall and I’m half tempted to try. Damn I’ve missed working out like this. Metallica on full blast, adrenaline raging and just letting it rip.

Blogging here is always an amusing experience seeing as I know 99.99% of the people showing up on the site will come here looking for final fantasy music, anime wallpapers or x-box modding tips and tricks and they’ll be going wtf reading my crap on the front page. Move right along using the links at the top folks, don’t mind me.

So much for my plans to post daily or at least every other day or so. It’s funny how life works. Spent the larger part of 2006 preparing things and sorting out various parts of my life in order to kick ass and chew bubblegum in 2007, and here we are. Two weeks into the new year and I can already say that more has happened than in the entire last year. With regard to everything. And we’ve only just begun… next week will bring a whole new world of possibilities.

Now why did I forget to buy new coffee. ¬.¬
