Life Changing Shit... / Crohn's Disease

It's been a little while since I updated this thing, and this time I actually have something to talk about!

At around the beginning of this year, I began noticing that I was starting to feel "different". I started feeling sick at my stomach a lot, and it got so bad that it stopped me from doing daily things. It eventually just got worse to the point where I couldn't even hold down 3 or 4 bites of food without feeling the need to puke. I finally went to the hospital about it a few weeks ago, and after having a colonoscopy I have found out that I have Crohn's Disease.

I will be starting a medication soon called Remicade that can only be given through a 2-hour IV infusion. I will eventually get to the point where I will do this every 8 weeks, probably for the rest of my life, if all goes well.

Although it does suck to be me. I'm definitely trying to make the best of what's left to live of my life. It's crazy, but in a way, being diagnosed with CD has sort of opened up my eyes to living a little bit more. I always used to be so sour towards everything, and now that I actually have a reason to be sour towards everything, it's like I don't even want to be that way anymore. That was the old me, this is the new me.

Having a positive attitude is the key to a happy life, no God required.

Addicted to Minecraft

Fucking a, I can't get enough of it! I used to run a server for the classic version a while back, don't get me wrong, still fun, but nowhere near as fun as the real game itself. Just getting to use the basic things like the crafting tools, torches and doors was enough to start getting me hooked. The recent piston update is really bad ass, and makes it really easy to have hidden doors, secret passageways and other really cool shit. My brother and I currently have a server, and anybody is allowed to join it by going to "dirtsmoke.no-ip.org". You will have to be listed to build, though.

I've still been at Terraria, too! My laptop recently just decided to take a shit on me after installing Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (Stay away from that fucking shit!). Of all the things to fuck my computer up, it's an official update... heh, go figure. Anyway, I'm just sort of waiting on the new Terraria update. The team always seems to surprise us with something cool!

I guess I'm going to finally dust off my 360, and try out Total Miner. Just heard about this on Reddit, I wonder if it would be worth it?

Terraria

"Dig, fight, explore, build! Nothing is impossible in this action-packed adventure game. The world is your canvas and the ground itself is your paint."

This fucking game is amazing. It's like Minecraft but based more on adventuring. You just have to try it! I'm hooked myself, and have purchased my copy! :D

The game is available for $10 on Steam. Support the developer by buying this awesome piece of work... and get free updates!

Emulation + PSP HBL

Been a lil' bit since an update. That last update was just a depressed rant, lol.

Anyway, let's see here. I've been getting back into emulators recently mainly due to the Patapon2 hbl hack for the PSP. This allows users to run homebrews on 6.20 firmware... Which is sadly the firmware I've had for a while since I got my PSP just last year. :(

I've also been playing some Final Fantasy 4. I've wanted to get into FF for a while but never really knew of a good place to start other than just playing I-(whatever number they're at now).

Ehh, anyway...yeah.

Dirt Smoke is down and undergoing some changes as well. We're no longer going to be the "community about anything and everything".

Wow, already 2010...

Already another year gone. It's crazy how when you get older, days seem so shorter, eh? Growing up almost seems to take no time anymore, and you eventually find yourself growing out of things you used to like.

Anyway, aside the stoner talk, a lot of crazy shit happened this year, celebrity-wise. Fawcett, Swayze, Mays, Jackson, Murphy... I missed others, but these seemed most crazy to me. I thought it was really awesome how Patrick Swayze was using medical marijuana for his cancer, just the fact that it was sort of publicly announced.

What else happened this year... OH! Modern Warfare 2 came out. It's without a doubt in my opinion, GOTY. The game just doesn't seem to get boring. I admit, I'm getting a bit tired of the stock maps, but I know they're going to be releasing a/some map pack(s) soon. Just a matter of time!

Balloon Boy, anyone? Lmao. EVERYBODY should know this was a hoax by now. If you don't, you're a retard.

First black president! Yeah! A little different at first, but, as I figured, wouldn't be nothing new. Our country is still doing shitty, and I'm pretty sure nothing has "changed". Honestly, I don't care much about politics, so, I want to make it 100% clear I'm not putting Obama down, just stating the truth.

Shit, I think that about sums it up for all I cared about this year. Happy New Year EVERYONE!

Drink up for me tonight! ;)

READY TO GRUB

I don't know if I'll have anything interesting to post about between now and Thanksgiving, but, as of now, the only thing on my mind is Thanksgiving.

I'M READY TO FUCKING EAT AND WATCH FOOTBALL!
