Epic fight is epic

Ok not really.

So I was sitting in Sandy after doing a quest, thinking of something to do, so I figure what the hell, let me go see if Taisaijin is up, and low and behold he was. I actually went the first time as BLM but I got my ass handed to me, so I came back NIN and won easily. No Spelunkers Hat but at least I got a cool title for my trouble.

I also made a Facebook page too, despite telling myself I'd never do it. But having most of your family on it, and a desire to keep in touch with them, overrides that. I've found a bunch of old friends from my high school days but I haven't sent them friend invites. I probably will eventually though.

Other than that not much new. My daughter is a glutton for punishment who keeps hurting herself lol. Oh well hopefully she'll learn one day not to do stupid things that will harm her.

I'm also watching the Confederate Cup finals right now between the US and Brazil. We had a 2-0 lead at the half but Brazil tied it up. Its in the 82nd minute right now so maybe we'll get lucky and win.

Well see you guys later and go visit my Facebook page.

Phillies fail at interleague

Ah yes its June again, which means interleague play for my World Champion Phillies. And like pretty much every year the Phillies suck against the American League again this year. We are now 3-7 and our lead in the division has dwindled down to just 2 games. Yes its early in the season still but we are definitely not in as good of a situation as we were last year.

Well the terror, also known as my daughter, has finally started crawling and forcing me to chase her all over the place so she doesn't hurt herself. Well actually its loo late for that because she already has 2 cuts on her face and a couple bruises from falling down while trying to stand. She looks like a boxer that picked a fight with the floor and lost lol.

I also have a ton of new pics I'll eventually get to and post. I even have a video of her crawling on my cell phone, and if I ever figure out how to get it onto my PC, maybe I'll post it here.

As for FFXI, I've barely played lately because I just haven't had any desire to. I started playing FF12 again and will probably play 11 more after I beat it again. I really like 12 a lot, and it plays a lot like 11 so that helps.

Well we've gotten a ton of new work at my job so its tougher to find time to post anything. We started doing server backups and they are a royal pain in the ass when something goes wrong. We also have 2 new systems to monitor that are both fairly time intensive. Pretty soon we'll have another batch of server backups to deal with, but they are far more streamlined and should be much easier to handle.

I'll talk to you guys later.

Its been way too long

Damn 2.5 months since my last post, where the hell have I been. I don't really have any good reason for why I haven't posted, just haven't felt like it.

Well real life is going pretty well right now. Alyssa is now 8 months old and has way too much energy for an old man like me. I miss the times I could just prop her up in a Boppy and not have to worry about anything happening to her. Now she rolls all over the damn place and gets her hands on anything and everything. She has 2 teeth and is very close to being able to crawl, which I'm not looking forward to.

In FFXI news my good friend Soul has retired and moved on to better things. I will miss him very much and wish him well. My BLM finally hit 75 and now I'm back to working on subs. I still haven't decided what my next job to 75 will be but I'm leaning towards BLU at the moment. I also hit 100 Boneworking too a while back and am gonna work on trying to synth a Genie Weskit for myself.

I should also mention that SE has finally announced their next MMO, which will be called Final Fantasy XIV. I watched the trailer and read the Q and A, and despite my oath to never purchase another SE MMO, I'm very very interested in it. I'm hoping SE will allow FFXI players participate in the beta so I can try it out before I decide to buy it. If it turns out to be like FFXI mission/story wise, but much more solo friendly I'll likely pick it up. So far its confirmed that they will have a type of "job" system similar to XI, and that there will be a character growth system that will be different from the standard exp/level up system in XI.

Sports wise my defending World Series Champion Phillies are in 1st place in their division and currently have the second best record in baseball. I fully expect them to make another serious run to repeat as WS Champs this year.

I guess thats just about it for my little life update, hope you enjoyed it.
