Updates galore

I'm in Brooklyn and tired! Here's what happened since I posted last:
I have a new article up at www.puremtgo.com! Holler at Magic!
The Mets fired Willie. I don't disagree with the move, but I do not like how it was handled. You could almost hear Omar Minaya saying "I didn't want to do this, but I had to." Lame!
I had another interview!

Life is moving...just it interesting directions!

PDC and the Mana Curve

My new article (and hopefully my return to regular publication) is up here. Enjoy.

The Waiting Hurt

This is one of the hardest times of my life.
I've graduated and am now waiting, impatiently, to hear back from prospective employers. I continue to look for new places to send my credentials and also continue to search for things to do.
You see, as of now, I don't have a job- my contract expires today. In the time until I do get a job, I am looking for stuff to occupy my time. Take, for example, blogging. I don't have the urge to do it in my apartment so instead I trudged my ass to a Starbucks to write this little thing...how cliche.
I want to write about PDC and Magic again, but as The Ferrett so eloquently put it, writing is the greatest expression of ego, and when you're not feeling so hot about yourself (no job, nothing to do), it follows that writing should not come so easy. It does not help that since the V3 update, few of my friends are on MTGO enough to get some serious playing in- I hope that changes soon.

Seriously, how good of an album is Losing Streak by Less Than Jake. It is so fucking good.

I really wish I could watch an episode of Lost and have fewer questions coming out than going in. That's not going to happen for a while.

It's not what you say or do...

Today was a good day. After not really wanting to play, I changed my mind, logged into MTGO, and won the first Classic PDC event of the season. Playing is fun, winning is better (what...I like to win).

I was also listening to Rehasher today-Roger from LTJ's other band. It just reminded me of the first time I hear pop-punk with Dougherty, and how awesome that made me feel.

I miss my bro.

MTGO and Politics

I play Magic: The Gathering, and the corresponding online game, Magic: The Gathering Online. I am a community member in PDC, a specific groups of players. I happen to be very vocal and outspoken (mostly because I have opinions). Recently, I have questioned the methodology of certain other community members, and have been labeled something akin to a heretic.

I am SpikeBoyM, and Gatherling is a database tool that is relatively new.

My brain hurts.
