He jumped from 30k feet and never pulled the cord…

Ok, so not many will get the blog title reference to a jodi, but anyway… I have the privilege of being one of the first in the world to blog from 30k feet in the air. Thank you Southwest for giving me the opportunity, lol!
I also have to say thanks to Southwest for the free drink on Monday. In honor of Memorial Day, they gave a free drink to all military. The acknowledgment of what the military does, and who they are is appreciated.

Yes, that’s where I’ll be soon! Tomorrow we head out there and won’t be back until Saturday morning – very very early (aka we fly in Friday night). So no, I probably won’t be able to post until next week. Anyway, have fun and rock on! Now it’s time to clean up, pack, and try and finish off Kurandel to lvl 70 b4 we leave…
Dude, wtf?

Ok, so I’m being the awesome husband that I am. Yes, next week in Las Vegas I’ll prove that once again to Lady X… Hehehehe… She knows something’s coming, but has no clue, so I’m reveling in the fact that she’s gonna love it 
… So ANYWAY!!! I’m bein awesome and all and doing the jousting for her while she’s in a mtng so she doesn’t need to when she gets back. So I kill da guy, hit the heal button thingy, and as the servers lag… W T F??? I gets dis:
Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others!
W T F? No idear. kinda lost. I mean, Damage Control? I’m seriously confused. Damage Control?
Ok, so honestly, it’s because bliz coders are idiots and they made it so that the argent tournaments’ NPC’s are considered PLAYERS and somehow the math of 1+1=300k….????!?! Nevermind. They aren’t that bright. They make money so they think they’re cool. If they were smart, they’d hire me for $250k per year and they’d make billions. But they’re not, and we play the game anyway cuz it’s fun, so they win. Lol! I revel in my own enjoyment…? I lost. U here? U smart? Oy…… Vaca starting Monday!!!!

Oy. Some days this game just brings out the most annoying of people. Today we ran into the best Undead DK I’ve ever seen. Apparently, as a DK at lvl 68, he can’t kill single lvl 64 mobs by himself. So since we were on an escort quest, he’d run ahead, tag a mob, and then let our escort go after his target, then repeat. Maybe it’s just that I’m a nice person in general, but why do people do things like that? It’s annoying and stupid, and he’d have gotten more XP from killing them faster and on his own. Oy!
So we ended up running ahead and tagging them before he could, lol. Eventually he ran off, but geeze, why?
Quick, Fast, Fun

Often you hear people complain about raids/dungeons. They have a plethora of reasons why. It took too long. So and so won the loot instead of me. The group was undergeared. That person didn’t do enough DPS. The tank couldn’t hold agro. The healers didn’t heal. And so on.
Personally, I think situations like those can be learning opportunities. You can build on them. And if it is done well, you have a situation like we did last night… We ran OBS. We did it quick, fast, and it was fun. Plain and simple. So thx to those that ran with us! I enjoyed it.
Goals
by Xanther on May.15, 2009, under General
Does anyone else set goals for themselves in WoW? I mean beyond the obvious “hit level 80”…
I just got onto the topic because I realized today that I might actually be able to log on late tonight! Well, not certain, depends on when my conference call is done and how much work it means after it. In other words, I may not actually be able to log in until SUN. Regardless, I started thinking about “ok, I haven’t played for like a week – what do I do first?!”.
So then I started thinking of plans I had. Like finishing the Argent Tournament on my mains. Leveling my third toon to 80. Getting some more heroic dungeon gear for my tank. Getting my mage the last few levels to 65 so he can finish leveling enchanting. Getting the Salty title on my second character. Saving the cash for the parts I need for my chopper (since I’ve already saved up enough for my 3rd toon to get his swift flight form + cold weather flying). And so on.
But then I realized that none of those are actual goals. They’re really just things I’d like to do at some point, but won’t be real heartbroken if I don’t achieve them. The real goal for me is to have a good time with Lady X. After the last few weeks, I’m really looking forward to sitting down, relaxing, and spending some time with her while we just chill and have fun.
