A life both real and imaginary

Life as I know it currently consists on two totally different plains of existance. Very similar to what Neo's life in the movie "The Matrix". Past this one simple statement the comparison ends.

Real life is rather mundane, at least in my mind. My work is rather bland, with very few shining moments. Spending eight or more hours in front of a computer my mind tends to wander through my cluttered thoughts. After work I head home and eat dinner with my family. We go over each others day and when asked how my day was I often answer "ok". After that it doesn't take long before I find myself yet again at a computer screen, often sitting for another four or more hours. Weekends are often a blur of activity, with movies, a few outdoor activities and yes more time in front of the computer. My days for the most part run from one to the other. A few days do stand out, but those are often lost in my memories.

My imaginary life consists in the online world of Everquest 2. It consists mainly of a group of friends that I adventure with. This group of friends are in a guild or clan called Explorers of Legend. Guilds are a great way to organize friends and to socialize. During a typical gaming session, I join a group of up to 24 people and go out on raids. Raids are where a large group of people go into an area of the game that is set to be a challenge for so many people. Other nights I can be found running around with a few others doing quests or hunting creatures in the game. This sounds like fun, doesn't it? My imaginary life is not always a smooth one. I have taken on a leadership role within our guild. I like to refer to this as the work portion of my imaginary world, or at least I will from now on. Often this work can be very stressful and sometimes outright upsetting. But I will leave that for another time.

After reading what I have written, I thought that anyone reading this may get the wrong impression and take it as a rant against my real life. This is not the purpose of this. What's the purpose? To tell you the truth, I'm not sure what it is. Perhaps it's an attempt by me to catalog my life in general, in an attempt to better it. Both of these lives have their low and high moments. Either way, both are part of my life.

The Big Bang Theory (CBS)

The new CBS show "The Big Bang Theory" has got to be one of the funniest new shows out there! It had me laughing so hard that I was in tears.

If you missed the pilot you can view it online at http://www.cbs.com/innertube/index.php?src=email&vid=160185&format=rmwmv.

Adventures in Blogging

Greetings Everyone!

Well it seems that everyone has something to say on the internet these days. I guess I'll enter the Blogging rat race. Right now I'm a bit busy, but hope to post my rantings here.

As my Blog title implies, I am a MMORPG addict. Some people may already know the term MMORPG and some may not.

Massive(ly) multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) is a genre of online role-playing viedo games (RPGs) in which a large number of players interact with one another in a virtual world. For a more detailed definition please visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMORPG.

As I think of more to post I will try and update my Blog.
