Ashi

Oh, maybe the game thought you love Sweden, so it has to put England there..., just to tick you off. I rarely buy games without discount, so I'll wait for a bundle deal. I am sure EU4 would have a lot of expansion packs like EU3 did. Oh, if we were playing multiplayer game together, my Portugal probably would be a pain in the butt for your Castille. I usually ally with England (historically accurate ally). I ally Spain (if Spain is not yet formed, usually with Aragon) in early game to buy a little time, but that's usually an on and off relationship.... When French begins to invade North Africa, now that's where the fun begin. I rarely fight French head-to-head (because that's just stupid), but from Fez to Tripoli, now that's where I wear French out. A lot of times I ally with Navarre just to keep Spain in check (and gives me Casus Belli on Spain when I am ready to take over Iberia). With my religious neutral policy, Granada is usually a good ally to give Spain a good run, though I don't expect it to survive for too long (as long as there are rebels popping up to fight against Spain once a while, I am okay). Sometimes I am even the head of HRE, which is kind of funny when that happens. I usually let Brazil go independent (after I got enough money to support my armada and Iberia is half mine of course) because I am such a nice monarch. When they introduced succession war system..., gosh, lots of super long war fares.... LOL

How's EU4? It looks interesting. I have EU3 with all the expansion pack up to the one after Napoleon's Ambition (the one with Latin name.... LOL). I usually play Portugal.... Sometimes Switzerland (but usually it's Victoria that I play Swiss or Belgians).

Oh, I scanned through the articles a little bit now. Now everything puts in perspective, it's pretty obvious. It's known fact guys' testosterone level do decrease when women they live with get pregnant. It's nature's law to keep them from killing their own children. That said, now everyone, keep your gayby away from guys with big balls.... :eyes a certain Texan:

What kind of classes and races we're allowed to play in. Are we all humans, or there can be orcs, elvens, gnomes and special races? Are there alignments?

Happy B-day!

You saw that too eh.... Very strange. Jared Leto..., the heart throb....

You've not been empty your balls lately.... Anyways.... No gayby for you!

What I want to know is, who thought up "let's do a research on ball size and whether he'd be a good father."

I'd prefer to love someone who loves me for who I am, rather than something that they can shape. I am not equating myself as a bitch..., but whatever, you get the point. If cats were given the same treatment..., you won't survive another day for humiliate them so deeply. Dogs are sad like that. Dogs don't get angry even if they're mistreated. BTW, why is this blog tagged with Scottish independence? I see no correlation.

Too old for twinks!

You mean how long can an author/film maker's creative juice lasts. Like how long will their vision lasts? I would say it's not like a reservoir with limited mojo, but a rollercoaster ride.... If my own personal experience could be an accurate projection.... I don't know where my creative juice came from and don't know when it would hit.... Sometimes I could have tons of ideas and sometimes my mind is just barren. I think you should ask film maker like Steven Spielberg and know he got his vision. And then there are writers like like P. K. Dick., who said he couldn't write without drug. As you know, some drugs gives hallucinations and give visions. Storytellers in Native American culture sometimes smoke peyote to give them visions. On top of that, I remember Brink and I had a discussion about some artists live in the world of their own fiction. It sounds like schizophrenia to me, and I believe some of the greatest artists have had condition that seems to be schizo to my unqualified prognosis. I read quite a bit of speculative fiction translated from Japanese when I was a kid. And I can say is it's not the same model as the U.S. one. American sci-fi may feature things which may based on real scientific theories, such a tachyon beams, which I've never seen it as a real tech but only exists in sci-fi stories, but theoretically sounding (and blue laser was only in theoretical stage when I was in high school, and now a reality). Japanese speculative sci-fi stories may be purely out of author's vivid imagination. Big Bang Theory was almost like a science fiction to most when it was first hypothesized by Carl Sagan, but it has since proven by Red Shift phenomenon. What I mean is, some sci-fi are fact-backed, some are not. Sagan's novel, Contact (and the movie based on it) is a great exploration on the subject. What Jody Foster's character experienced, is that a major scientific break through, a mass hallucination, or is it a spiritual experience? As for sci-fi series got stall after a while. Well, W_L..., many long running shows like Star Trek are not really written by one person, but by a team of writers, and they do rotate, so not all episodes are written by the same writer and/or teams. The creator of the series set the tone and usually after one season or two, the new team came over and follow it up. By then the show already have some established tone and characterization, the new team just follow the "stereotypes" so to speak to write the new episodes, much like writing a fan fiction. The creativity, given the confined rules of establishment, can plateau after a while. Maybe that's why there is not much original ideas in modern eras (noticed I didn't say no, just less original ideas). If you like real sci-fi, I suggest dive into medical field. Much of the human body is still unknown and make great sci-fi story backdrops. No, we still don't know how can brain turn glucose into memory, or how liver work to detox our body.... We now know how kidney works but just a decade ago, it was still a mystery. We just know what they do, but we don't know a sh*t about them.... I was studying this bacteria whose spore can endure UV-C (no living cell can survive continuous UV-C exposure), so it's not impossible in the future people could just put on nano coating of this bacteria's spores like sun screen and skin cancer can be prevented with good efficiency (though you have to think about the aftermath of such consequence, because UV rays are responsible for keeping bacteria's number in control on our skin).

Man..., you're serious.... My post has completely lost its purpose.... Eight years ago = unhappy; eight years and one day later = Cheer up! And where is my unsolicited kiss? Just kidding.... I had an old online friend who would gladly to use the figurative chainsaw to split me into halves.... It surely cheered him up....

I donated $5. My company matched that amount. I deserve a kiss. Seriously though, how come the flag on the right is missing two stars...? ...and what is that chainsaw for?

Asam is a meanie.... And thank you Tob. (*receives his button humbly with both of his hands*) Now what to do you do with creaking joint? Do you put some oil on it?

It's kind of weird really. I don't know how/why the transition happened, but to me it's like ancient history, because it's so fussy at this point. I recently dig up a story I wrote for an adventure game project (never completed, btw), and it was written in programming language style syntax.... Lots of conditionals and definition declarations. Wow, Ashi was a nerd!!! I mean a full-fledge nerd, not like the half-nerd I am now.... And then I found this story, which is probably the first story I've ever written (and completed). Gosh, it's so strange and filled with some unintelligible symbols. It's hard for me to understand, though I am the author!!! I would like to get into my own mind set back in the time when that story was written to figure out what was I thinking! That story needs to be re-written in Ashi's current language. Less abstraction and obscurity. Creativity is certainly there, but so confusing.... There were so many projects I was doing. I even found some web sites prototypes I made for distributing stuff I made for The Sims. The nerdy Ashi was actually a very popular guy active in the dawn of Internet explosion.... Wow, how that seems like an ancient history now. Seeing some younger folks in Skyrim modding community discussing future plan for the project brings back memory. I was like one of them.... Who would know I was actually combating depression at the time given I was pretty active and popular in the gaming community. Now I can barely keep up with FB, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.... What happened! LOL (*sighs*) Watching younger folks growing up makes me feel so old! OMG! I am old! (*creaks*)

Yes. Let's see how it works out! Sounds interesting.

OMG..., I just remembered, Malkovich played Klimt....

I want to know how it plays out without data points and stuff. Looks interesting.

John Malkovich's mind?

People are afraid to merge on freeways in Los Angeles. This is the first thing I hear when I come back to the city. And that was how Brett Easton Ellis started his debut novel, Less Than Zero. Bumblebee's recent status update sort of reminds me how a fussy past sometimes can come back at the most inconvenient time. Some of you guys know I am a photographer, so I have a huge amount of photographs in my hard drive, many photos go way back to a time I don't want to remember. And today, while I was trying to keep my archive manageable, I came across this old family trip photo from Las Vegas. In it was some people posing with costumed people in Caesar's Palace. It's really funny how it triggered a series of memories. Some years ago, I accidentally came across the blog of the guy who dressed up as the Roman soldier in that photo. I was like, "Hey! I saw that guy in Las Vegas!" And indeed, it was him, when I found the photo in my hard drive. Then I read carefully about what he said. He basically said he was pursuing after a career as an actor, and he had been a star athlete in high school, and he was trying to provide for his family working in Caesar's Palace. Blair picks me up from LAX and mutters this under her breath as her car drives up the onramp. She says, "People are afraid to merge on freeways in Los Angeles." Though that sentence shouldn't bother me, it stays in my mind for an uncomfortable long time. Random memory like that bothers me a lot.... It's just a photo, and the pure coincidence why I came across his website years ago (and I always wonder why I've had plenty of these "coincidences" throughout my lives), and now years later, it still bothers me what he said when I found the photo. Perhaps even more due to economy and life experience. It wouldn't bother me this much if he was not pleading for a job in his blog. Then it reminds me of a blog where Justin Guarini recalled his American Idols days. Blog a commenter said he was a major failure because he only sold 150,000 albums and bunch of brats making fun of him online. While at the end of Santa Monica Pier (where Pacific Park is), I once saw a cute guy singing his throat dry and I felt he would be lucky to sell five albums that night given how busy that place was and how little people reacted to him (and he kept on smiling). And the same night, off the pier someone squat herself on the sidewalk, covered herself with a blanket on the street, as if in shame, with her newish luggage roller by it. All I could remember was I thought she must be a new homeless, because how could she keep her luggage if she's been here long (or he..., I don't know, but I think it's a she for some reason). I know I shouldn't look back, but sometimes past comes back uninvited....

I am not sure. The last time someone tried to imitate me, and told me that quote, I felt I wanted to strangle that person.

Oh, Happy Birthday.

How do you evacuate wild lives? What do do with the camping sites? What about the dam that provides us Californians water? What about the hydro plant that provides us power? What about some legacy sites in Yosemite? You can't just let it burn.... I remember I was there in 2009, and it was a 4th of July even, and it was smoke everywhere because they were doing controlled fire and Glacier Point Road was a disaster because it's impossible to get to the top so we stayed in the valley and Tioga Road where they were not burned down. I learned later that eventually it got out hand into an uncontrolled fire.... I don't think human has any control over nature. Just saying. I will be in Yosemite in October, by the way.... Hopefully the fire would be out by then. Oh and found this article.... Somewhat controversial, but it looks like another problem of the state is surfacing.... http://www.mercurynews.com/science/ci_23986627/rim-fire-did-illegal-marijuana-growers-start-blaze?source=most_viewed

This starting chapter is very promising. Everyone is loveable and characters are established nicely. It sounds like a straight story at first, but I confess this is one of the few times I didn't read what the story is tagged with (gay, straight, bi, etc.) before I began to read, so I didn't expect a completely gay story. But given this is GA after all, so I hope he'll turn gay. LOL It's okay..., Corey can be who he wants to be. Man, who is this new Greg guy?
