3-18-10 - Fantastic Final and Still More To Come

March Madness. I might have watched a few but not being a college person I have no specific college basketball team to root for.  I’ve been watching a lot of Adultswim on Cartoon Network, various cartoons on Nicktoons network, Archer on FX, Blue Mountain State on Spike, and plenty of HD programming on National Geographic and Discovery Channel.  (I am so looking forward to LIFE series nature documentary by BBC/Discovery)

And I have played and beaten Final Fantasy XIII (it was SO beautiful as the pic shows) and while It was not a high point in the storytelling compared to earlier stories it was still very compelling and I did like all of the characters.  While I got to the end with various teams, I beat FFXIII with Lightning, Vanille, and Hope since the two kids had the hardest hitting magic (despite their lower lifebars).  There were many points in the game where I was cheering and am very happy to have played. Now we must do something else.

We prepare for the weekend. Black Party and all of the surrounding pomp and leather. I will be in the midst of it with the best of them dancing to the beats and then going to have another drink. Thank goodness daylight-savings was last weekend.

I will have to say that even filling out the Census was kind of emotional for this one this year.  Something like that is not supposed to make you sad. But realizing the house is too quiet and that you now require the television because otherwise you feel the weight of the alone time means that I am doubly happy that the weekend has arrived. I look forward to much happy times ahead with my friends.

It will get better I know.  Without the sad parts we would not fully appreciate the happy times.  I will not be taking any of that for granted anytime soon.  I will be out there with a happy smile, parting the crowd and grooving the dance.  It will be good.  That’s my promise to me.
