Anyone who knows me can attest, I am a gadget freak. I love them shiny things even if I don’t need them. So it will be quite a challenge to do what I’m looking to do in a couple of weeks. Or technically starting now, come to think of it.
I won’t be buying much gadgetry. The last thing I’m giving to myself is possibly upgrading to the iPhone 3GS, mainly for the improved camera features and definitely at the subsidized price (not to mention sticking with 16GB). I will also need to be picky about what games I get. Lucky for me, I already pre-ordered the big ones that are planned. I know for sure I pre-paid in full for one. Can’t say about the other.
I think the sacrifice will indeed be worth it. But would I suffer from withdrawals? I’ve never considered that, although I have been thinking of how well my willpower is.
Strong like bull.
Back when I started playing World of Warcraft, leaving Final Fantasy XI and all that I knew behind, I did a lot of things solo. My first character was a Hunter and it helped quite a bit during my time of leveling alone. I wanted to solo because in FFXI, I couldn’t do much by myself. However, as I played I eventually made friends and by the time my Hunter got close to 60, I was doing quite a bit of dungeon runs with them.

I have always been of the mind that soulmates are born. There is that one person who just fits with you and you with them. However, I’m not so sure now and wonder, as I read a certain book, that soulmates are made. It’s the years of being together, working out the bad and enjoying the good that brings two people so close to each other that they consider themselves soulmates; living a complete life with someone who was always meant to be, but with work.

Besides the crazy heat, I had a lot of fun exploring Alexandria, also known as Old Town, Georgetown and a couple places in the Smithsonian. I was also able to meet two beautiful ladies during my exploration and it was nice being, and having, company.
Now, it’s all work as I attend demos of the conference here for work. So far so good, though they have packed the entire day for the next 2 days.
Here’s to hoping I’ve got some time to meet more people and/or have some time to relax after the day’s talks.
No, this is not the wondrous tale of The Hobbit. Rather, it will be the beginning of a personal adventure. A trek across a large expanse of land, making a few pilgrimages along the way. Untold experiences to be had and maybe a bit of loot. An adventure indeed, lays before me and such exploration must be shared. So, thankfully, a trusted ally will embark on this crazy trip with me.
We will start our journey in the city of angels, Los Angeles. From there, we will travel up to Seattle and spend a few days there. With our quest complete, we will return to Los Angeles. There will be some stops along the way. I intend to scribe our adventures and misadventures as well as capture the moments with a camera. Hopefully, I shall be able to post my words as often as I can.
One week and a half to go, yet there still remain some things I need to gather for the journey. I will be a busy, busy bee.
