michael jackson fucking loled....
So I see they're charging one of his doctors with involuntary manslaughter, there is two things to remember here: you can't have manslaughter without laughter (which is what I did when sicko died) and secondly how is it possible to have a fair trial when the whole world wants to believe michael jackson was murdered and not some fucking junkie taking all kinds of drugs for all kinds of things. This is a new level of retarded, let him burn in hell where he belongs and leave the living the fuck alone. So obviously using this shit to try and have the final say on how he died.... his family are a bunch of media whores, greedy media whores. let the truth be known, jackson was a scumbag and he deserves what he got - no one is to blame but himself. rot.
SAS
In the news lately has been the New Zealand SAS (NZ Elite Unit) after a picture was published showing New Zealand Victoria Cross recipient Willie Apiata deployed in Afghanistan, followed by a slip of the tongue by John Key and now more detail is to be given about the NZ SAS's operations overseas. I believe that the veil of secrecy has been lifted because John Key said too much and to save face the government made the move to be more open with as much operational detail as they could (without putting any NZ soldiers in jeopardy that is). What surprised me about this was that it was said so often that the NZ SAS hadn't fired a shot in anger on their present deployment followed by a bunch of tame, mundane bs.
How is that a good thing? If we have elite forces overseas in a warzone don't we want them to be killing the enemy and doing damage in general? Should be telling New Zealander's that the SAS is 'kicking ass and takin' names', that's what I want to hear instead of the government making their involvement to be no more than that of some scrubly security force.
A New Leaf
at this time I would like to inform you all that I have launched a new site. mapmonger.com/life
This site will basically serve as a journal for a recent lifestyle change I've initiated. I don't have much to say on the matter right now but the site is updated daily so check it out :)
At this time I will also inform you that this site will be having a massive change of its own. I am no longer involved in game development and I've been on hiatus for a long long time; it's fair to say whatever motivated me to do this is now gone therefore mapmonger needs a change. I am still contemplating exactly what to do with the site; the best bet is that the site will be overhauled and /life will be included in the main site in addition to my works and other nonsense. Stay Tuned.
Of hope...
I feel that life changes in milestones, in changes that add or subtract, life is a journey of personal evolution; the struggles we face, the challenges we meet and our course builds who we are as people. It fills me with joy knowing that I control the life I lead, we can be worried and oppressed by our fears and insecurities but if we have the courage to identify our dark hindrances and find a way to benefit ourselves by changing we can live happy in knowing that we are pursuing our bliss.
Best Format Ever?
Today one Travis 'garandhero' Christie formatted, a regular task performed by people who spend way too much time behind computers. Travis however did not backup World of Warcraft the game that stole over 2 years of his life with some 2,500 game hours played over the period.
I AM FREE at last! As someone who suffers from a few very destructive addictions this is a huge victory as it is the first one I've beaten. There is hope? I hadn't formatted for almost a year and I still had a very much updated World of Warcraft install; until today I simply didn't back it up. Re-installing WoW itself is a painstaking process of furious patching which takes a long time to complete and a lot of patience - I WILL NEVER BE BOTHERED TO DO THAT AS I KNOW IT'S ADDICTIVE PROPERTIES WILL DESTROY MY LIFE.
I finally figured out how you beat WoW.. Finality is winning by quitting the game and salvaging your life.

CNN's MORALLY BANKRUPT JOURNALISM
Made a video, chucked it on youtube, had a smoke
New Project!
Yay for finding some motivation to get something done, I am not mapping however. Over the years I have committed many things to paper covering a broad range of subjects I have written some 70,000 words which is a reasonable amount.
Overall my writing has been aimless and a great learning experience, I have always had the goal of finishing a book and having it published; I am now focused on doing just that. I am not taking all my ideas new and old and focusing them into one book project covering social and political ideology, I would say it's a work of philosophy more than anything else. I suspect I will be done within a year, I don't write everyday but always when I have the inclination to do so (artists will understand this :O)
