EverQuest

In March 2007 I paid for 2 years of my EverQuest subscription and that 2 years is up in a couple of months.  Before they automatically charge me for another 2 years for $200 I would like to prevent getting shot in the foot by myself of course for not canceling in time lol.

I really had a good time in EQ for the 6 years I played it.  The last year doesn't count for my 7 years because I haven't played it for a year.  But the amount of time I did play it was so much more fun than I could even say.

Every time I got online someone would invite me to a group and if they didn't I would have to just go to a zone where I knew would be populated and start shouting or saying out of character /ooc that I'm available by saying my race, class and level followed by LFG (Looking for group).

I had so much fun playing with friends and strangers would usually become friends unless they were a douche in the game then I'd never see them again.  I can't replace the fun that I've had but just hope that I get something similar to it again in my life.  Maybe perhaps in real life?  Then again I don't know anyone who wants to kill gnolls or giant skeletons.

I still have until mid March to play it so I'm going to be making some appearances here and there to say hi before I can no longer log into the game.

I heard that Sony will store all of your stuff in their systems for 6 months but after that you either have to pay for 1 month then cancel again and do that every 6 months or you just lose everything.  I don't know, maybe things have changed.  We will find out soon enough.  I would like to sell my account since I highly doubt I will ever play the game again.  But then again I'd only consider it if it's someone that I know and know for a fact that he knows how to play a high level wizard.  I don't want to sell it to someone who has no clue what he/she is doing.  That would be a definite insult.  And they must change the name from Xanapus to something else.  I don't want anyone to have that name but me.

Guy eats his eyes?!?!

Texas Inmate Pulls Out Eye, Eats It


GASP!  This guy killed his wife and 2 kids, pulls their hearts out of their chests, puts them in a plastic bag and throws them away then he turns himself in.  Then while in prison he pulls out his eye and eats it!  Then he takes his other eye and eats that too!  WTF!  DUDE!


Where is Nancy Grace when we need her?

Nancy Grace / Casey Anthony

Edit: Before you read this, this post has nothing to do with Casey or Caylee Anthony or the case currently going on so if you are doing research then I feel it's best if you look at the next google result which is probably where you found this.  This was a rant because I was annoyed with seeing the same thing over and over again and I meant no disrespect to Nancy Grace, Caylee Anthony or her family.  Thank you.

God love Nancy Grace.  She is on this Casey Anthony kick where every episode of her show is all about this tragedy with Caylee Anthony.  Isn't anything else happening in the world that she can talk about?

I stopped watching her show because it's all the same stuff, showing the video of her in jail talking to her parents and her brother on the little screens and talking to people about this and that.  I think that if there is a development in the case then fine, come back to it but come on, give is something else.

Sure, she had 1 episode this week about Jett Travolta but at the very end it said "Remembering Caylee Anthony".  UGH!  Why not Remembering Jett Travolta?

I love Nancy Grace, she's brash and honest and isn't afraid to speak her mind and I love that about her.  But I mean come on, talk about something else.

I really feel sorry for this child who was brutally murdered and I'm shocked that a mother would do this, looking up neck breaking and how to make chloraform and actually kill her child like this.  Don't get me wrong.  I just don't want to hear it night after night.

Recession Weight

Will Americans put on "recession pounds"? - Link Broken

According to this article, a study has shown that because of the recession we are in people are going to start buying cheaper foods and not paying the extra amount for fruits and veggies and because cheaper foods are higher in sugar and saturated fat, they will gain weight.

It used to be that the only people who were fat were royalty because they were so rich they could eat all the food they want so being obese was a sign of wealth.  Now, being obese is a sign of poverty.

I've basically been poor for the last 21 years lol.  Since I turned 17 and was homeless until now.  When I was a smoker I was always thin but when I quit smoking I gained weight because food took the place of the cigarettes.  I gained a huge appetite since then.  When I go to the grocery store for food I buy whatever is on sale like the boxes of shells and white cheddar or Fettuccine Alfredo or I'll buy the little mini pizzas that are 10 for $10.  And the banquet TV dinners are almost always 10 for $10.

Since people are so busy working (if they didn't lose their job) they don't have time to exercise and they use that as an excuse not to exercise but there are always ways to overcome that like riding your bike to work or if you don't live that far, walk.  And taking the stairs instead of the elevator and you don't have to pig out on the vending machine food, you can bring some baby carrots with you for a snack or a banana or an apple.  Those aren't expensive to buy.  I have an orange tree so my oranges are free.

Tom Cruise On The View

This morning I wake up (late) and go into the living room and the view is on the tv set.  Now normally I'd go back in my room and get on the computer or something because I don't normally sit and watch this show.  Rosie ruined it for me frankly.  And it's a chick show.

But I sat there and they announced Tom Cruise.  Now normally I would get up and go into the other room if I heard his name but I sat there and watched.  This is the Tom Cruise that I like and have missed for such a long time.  He wasn't outrageous, he didn't jump on a couch or call Barbara Walters Glib.  He did the interview the way he should have by answering questions.

If he keeps this good behavior up he just might get back into the good graces of people and they might start paying to see his movies again.

They asked him about Jett Travolta about medication and seeing a doctor and he said that it simply isn't true, in fact it's the opposite, yes the scientologists take their kids to the doctor and get them medication for whatever illness they have.  His whole thing with Brooke Shields and Matt Lauer was that "he" doesn't believe in psychiatry or something.  But that was probably his belief and not Scientology.  He was basically speechless about Jett's death.

He finished the show and he was just perfect in this interview, just perfect.  Good for him and I hope things work out for him.
