Twilight Zone

Its a strange thing to suddenly see and understand what your father was talking about as a crazy old man back when i was a teen. never did understand till recently why he always said he was scared about my generation or ones to follow to be the ones that are getting voted into office or taking care of him and many other older more experienced individuals in care homes. yesterday i realized that soon it would be my generation that would be getting voted into offices of power. granted it might not be for awhile because we could hope that people that don't just talk a good game are the ones that get in but men/women that have seen their share of life. now about the old people care...... that is happening now haha. was just a funny thought that people growing up on N64 and pokemon could be president or governor soon.

The Journey

This is something I wrote about a year ago now about my struggle at that time and working through it. Looking back now many many things have turned totally around. I just wanted to share it again cause I still find it moving.

The Journey

The darkness

The echoes

Endless mist

Shadowy wisps

They come, they go

I stand looking, not seeing

I feel movement, though still I stand

Whose will moves me

Brief moments of sight

Mist flows around me

Sensing other beings

All around me

Faces in the mist

Voices in the echoes

I try to call out

Can’t hear my own voice

Can’t remember the sound of it

The voices whisper lies

They say they will be there

They say they care

I believe a handful

The faces smirk

I hear them

They whisper when I look away

So

Resignedly

I will myself

To walk on

Ignore the pointed stairs

Whispered conversations

Off-hand remarks

I move on

Retreat

Further into the darkness

Ignoring the mist

Ignoring the faces

Focus only on my thoughts

My reasons

My motivations

My values

I walk on

I think

Attempting to make sense

Sense of what I have seen

Heard

Felt

I remember a past

A history connected to now

My current state of existence

Faces and places

People and smells

Emotions and thoughts

These are what made me

Fashioned me into what I am today

People of the distant past

Even the more recent past

Seem more trustworthy

Than the misty faces around me now

But I have changed as well

Lost some of my original values

The past voices

They tell me what I already know

They encourage me

To get back the dreams

The values

The way of life I had before

If only I could find the way out

I can’t ask for help

This is my path

I must find the way

So

On I walk

Looking for the light

Revisited issues

First off I will say that I am back..... again..... and will be posting more often on here as writing stuff on here is the main way I used to get my rants out. Plus all the google awesomeness that has gone on with the site over the years is pretty awesome. Also as a fore warning, this is not purely an opinion blog, it will my brain dump. Pure and simple.

SO to the issue at hand.
Reading my latest issue of GameInformer I came across an article about uncle sam attempting to get his hands on our ability to play whatever kind of video games we want (Issue 210 pgs19-20 Article "Enemy of the State"). I know I have blogged about this several times already but it really ticks me off that this is STILL such a hot issue. How and why people are SO willing to point fingers at one thing and claim it is the source of all problems blows my mind!
I honestly don't think I can expand on this subject anymore than I already have except to say that americas willingness to let the G-men into their personal lives lately is pretty insane.
I do however encourage any avid gamer or even anyone that doesn't want THE MAN in controlling their lives anymore that is absolutely  necessary to check out some of the issues and people supporting this movement.
The main site/organization that is fighting this can be found at this site Video Game Voters Network.
