Looks to me like Shihli on a bad wipe night after Garreth trying to pep talk us all for 2 and a half hours.

Checking in. Who cares right?

Drewsta — Thu, 09/17/2009 - 15:09

What's good Downies? Just checking in and updating ya'll. Where to start?

1) My externship is almost done. Been working 40+ hours on location, and I haven't learned anything I didn't already know. FML right? Still getting paid so I'm not tripping!

2) I cancelled my wow acct. Yep, priorities. I'm not broke but 15 x 12 is 180 a year I can use elsewhere. It didn't hurt at all.

3) Working 2.5 jobs atm! Line Cook, Apartment Representative (I host open houses at vacant apartments and try to get them rented) and Amatuer Poker player at a local casino. Laugh all you want at the last bit but I am up 385 in 1 week.

SO, ever since I've been away from wow I've been doing some thinking. Should I go back? Will I ever get time todo so? What's left for me really? I'm still undecided. I've always been super hardcore and even if I were to come back, I wouldn't be able to do what I'd like. Simply isn't enough time in the day. So dunno yadidimean?

 

My family is pretty tight knit, even my relatives in Italy. When i first went over, my Aunt told me something I will hold near and dear to me. 'We don't say goodbye in our family, we say see you soon."

 

See you soon Downies

MAturity in it's entire T

Drewsta — Tue, 07/14/2009 - 12:57

So, I've never done a "blog" before but I feel this might be a good way to vent.

 

For anyone that knows me, I'm an asipring chef with the goals to be a celebrity. I've got the skill, the mind set, and the dedication to make those things happen. But like any human, I have flaws.

 

I have (in he past and present) been diagnosed with Chronic depression, Anxiety, and Insomia. Weird considering anyone who's ever hung out with me knows I'm a pretty fun guy. I've battled depression, and stopped it in it's tracks. Anxiety and Insomia were tough.

 

The only thing I ever found useful was, well marijuana. Calms my nerves, relax's me and sometimes (1 out of 50) helps me sleep.

 

Here's my dilemma, I took a drug est last week for Yosemite National Park and failed. I really wanted to go there, but my habits caught up with me. Just so happens the medical card I DID have expired 6 months ago, and that hurt. MY application was denied, and now I'm looking for a new externship place.

 

Now, the reason for the Blog Title. When I moved up to Portland, Maturity set in big time. I was on my own, little money, but I made shi work. With a bang and intensity I've never seen myself have. Fucking 3.0 + student (I dropped outta HS), great set of friends that were on or near the RIGHT path. Upon hearing that I wouldn't be going to Yosemite today, something different happened. Instead of doing what I used to be accustomed too, (being pissed off and blaming other people) I talked to my head chef and externship coordinator with the same intensity and excitement I've been bringing to the table over the last 6 months about what todo now.

My chef basically shit his pants when he saw how commited I was, that he is now CALLING places I look into and giving them his full reccomendation for me to become an asset to their team. What The Fuck!

So, the old Turth is gone, the same asshole is still around, but the hardworker is now clear.

 

HOLLA!

How to NOT be the emo shaman.

Drewsta — Fri, 08/08/2008 - 10:31

So basically, this is a post for Hamfist raiders. Since my induction into Downfall, and Hamfist for that matter, I've been told there was the let's say "Curse of the Emo Shaman". Hamfist has been going through shamans like they were underwear on sale. I think I'm about to reach the one year mark now. I've have yet to leave. I know lots of people bet on it, and wlel shit some people are still betting on it. Here's some tips to keep 'emo' safe. LF1M, ya'll prolly don't share this curse but it's good to help your WoW blues.

 

1) Totally go against your raid leader, but in a subtle non threatening way. Garreth tells me to get outta general at least once per raid. I get out sure. But it makes me chuckle when he askes you immediately after saying hi to some of "your" friends but not everyone else's! Love you Garreth.

 

2) Give up caring about loot. Sure I think we could change the system, sure some things would improve. But in the end, it's just loot. And yes, I still complain from time to time to Anti and Kati. That's called the venting process to trusted friends guys. They will listen, either A. Respond, or B. say 'meh" (Kati) but you know that officers won't hear and makes you feel better. :D
