Sometimes I run myself ragged until the wheels fall off and I am | |
forced into downtime procedures. I am currently experiencing one of | |
those instances. Too much work and giving of my time and energy has | |
brought me here. I need to take better care of myself. I was | |
supposed to be on a vacation now but instead, I am resting at home, | |
not on vacation, using vacation time for sick time. The older I get, | |
the more I encounter this. And sometimes I beat myself up a bit | |
about it, but not this time since there is awareness of the pattern | |
and I took contrary action. | |
Since I have had some downtime, I decided to reinstall minecraft and | |
log onto SDF's minecraft server. It has been quite some time since | |
I was on and was happy to see that my base was still intact. There | |
were a few people on and I tried to catch up. | |
Lulzcraft, mcornick, goolse, gravity_assist, and the community has | |
done a whole buncha stuff since I been gone. You guys rawk! Spawn | |
has become a city and there are so many new structures to visit! | |
So many new automation as well! I'd love to be able to build some | |
of the farms and grinders that are out there. Unfortunately, my | |
build skillz are pretty static and are usually just sculptures that | |
I build and take up space. | |
The rail system seems to be very complex and far-reaching! There are | |
subways and elevated train tracks. I was able to connect my base to | |
the rail system and make a creeper head train station. | |
Even though I started playing minecraft with my kids when they were | |
younger, I still keep going back to this game and playing without | |
them. They have gotten older and moved onto other things that teens | |
and young adults are interested in. I still have fun with the box | |
of virtual LEGOS, especially since it is part of the SDF community | |
and it satiates my inner child. It is also fun to experience while | |
listening to aNONradio programming and hanging out in the COM[MODE] | |
with the dambgudcyberchatterz in a seperate terminal window! | |
If you have not logged onto SDF's minecraft server in awhile be sure | |
to check it out, especially if you've never been! Maybe I might get | |
to meet some of you there! | |
Since I am in forced downtime, I have been re-acquaiting myself with | |
a film series that I loved watching growing up but wasn't supposed to. | |
It is called, "Lone Wolf and Cub," or "Shogun Assassin," in the States. | |
It was shown on cable late night in the 80's. I found them on one of | |
the streaming services recently. | |
It is about the journey of samurai dude pushing this cart with his | |
kid on their path to hell. Total 70's chopsocky bushido samurai fun | |
with porno theme music fight scenes, to boot! Boom-chicka-bow-wow! | |
Much enjoyment was had revisiting after all these years! The effects | |
are really bad and the blood, dismemberment and decapitations are | |
comedic! I think Tarantino was influenced by these films for his | |
effects in his Kill Bill series. There are more breasts than I | |
remember...topless sword fighting onna no hito with yakuza tattoos | |
at the beginning of the 3rd film, SO HAWT!!! | |
I recall having discussions with childhood friends about who would | |
win in a fight, ninja dude (Sho Kusugi} or samurai dude with kid in | |
cart? For me it would always be samurai dude with kid. He just so | |
bad ass! Throw Bruce Lee in there? Tough call. | |
They should make a fighting game like that...ninja dude vs samurai | |
dude w/ kid in cart vs. Bruce Lee vs. Chuck Norris vs. Shogun | |
ShoNuff vs. Bruce Leroy vs. BloodsportVanDamn vs. MuricanNinja dude | |
vs. Drunken Master Jackie Chan vs. Grasshopper Carradine vs. 7 Samurai | |
dudes vs. Black Mamba vs. Hattori Hanzo vs...you get the picture. | |
I know that I'd have my rolls of quarters warmed up for that game! | |
