Considerations

I've been looking to change my ways a bit, by that I mean trying out some new things. Maybe watch shows I'd not watch otherwise or maybe try out a different game or two, just to change things up a little bit. I think I've grown a little bored with myself and I can't imagine that is a good thing.

For starters, I've been having a growing interest in finding (and watching) the show Heroes. I've heard it is something like X-Men, in that people in the show have special abilities/powers.

A movie that I've just watching a trailer for tonight is a Chinese movie called "Seven Swords." It isn't a new movie or anything (I think it was released in 2005), but it seems to be about a group of seven people, each of which has a sword of their own. The purpose? I think it was to fight against an oppressive government or the like. Please forgive for the half-arsed explanation, I was/am fairly sleepy and things aren't being absorbed into my brain as easily as usual.

Next thing up, is actually a video game system that I originally intended to buy in place of getting a XBox 360. However, that goddamn Nintendo Wii was ever elusive and the only way of getting one was to pay some outrageous price for it. That, obviously, was something I refused and ultimately opted to picking up a 360. Yeah, the logic behind this one didn't quite pan out either, but it worked out in my mind at the time.

Then again, after looking at a number of different places and coming up with nothing, I guess that does help settle a mental dispute rather quick.

Still, I'd like to get a Wii eventually and this isn't just for games like Legend of Zelda and Super Paper Mario. Or Mario Galaxy. I kind of want to try out Rayman: Raving Rabbits on Wii, not to mention the Katamari game that is supposedly going to be released on the system eventually.

Truth be told, I actually want to play some of the games that are on it's Virtual Console and one game that comes to mind immediately is Earthbound. I don't know what it is, maybe it is all a mind trick? All implemented by merely listening to songs from it's soundtrack, which I am doing right now. Or maybe it was just a fun (and outright weird) game that was a blast to play through for the fact that it was truly something unlike anything that was out there at the time. Hell, even today too!

On the topic of games, I was recently informed (by my girlfriend no less) that I was brought out of retirement and am actively back in the world of Vana'diel. Yes, I have been revived in the game called Final Fantasy XI. I guess I can't fight it, not when my bloody elf is already back up and running. Fun and excitement this time around? Well, I can only hope for all of that and more or else this return will be short lived (again).

As for other changes... well, I am thinking of maybe coloring my hair to something crazy and maybe even getting a haircut after. I haven't done either of those things (or at least not coloring in years... I missed that blue hair...) or at the very least get myself a haircut. It isn't a good look when even I start to wonder if maybe i just might be smuggling a ewok on my head.

OK, so overall I don't have any real life altering changes and I don't think there really is anything I can change at this point. Yes, maybe a new job will finally work it's way into the hand and I'll actually go with it this time around. I think I am more concerned with just tiny little things for now, leaving the bigger fish for another day. Smart plan? Only time will tell on that call...
