Indie Game and Zynga

So, I am sitting here watching Indie Game: The Movie and playing FarmVille 2 while drinking a beer.  To be honest, I am a bit bored.  This movie is actually really good, gives you a great insight on how the people developing these games feel during their process of making a game from scratch, the middle of it, the end product and all the shit that happens in between those three things.  The thoughts from the men in this movie are what intrigue me the most, the human aspect of not wanting to fail makes this movie a great movie.  All of the gentlemen in this movie have their hearts on their sleeves the whole time.  You are seeing a piece of them that only the closest people in their lives get to see, in retrospect...

you are seeing who they really are.

I'm loving it and in some way feel that I am connecting with them in some minute way, I know how they feel, they seem like people who I would get along with, people who are kindred spirits and I like that.

So onto the other thing that I mentioned at the top of this blog.  FarmVille 2 ugh.

I'm playing it right now as we speak, waiting for a dame got to finish it's allotted time limit so that I can harvest the milk from it's life giving tit because I have a challenge to finish with the milk that it gives, I NEED IT!!!  Zynga has once again found a way to make a horribly addicting game that will most likely draw in every house mom in the country and slowly suck the life out of all of them.  Something interesting has happened though and if I remember correctly Zynga recently has filed for bankruptcy and closed down their studios.  I feel bad for the people who worked there, the people who coded and did the art for it and just put all this time and effort into these games and who are now out of a job.  I hope that some how they will rise out of the ashes that were once Zynga these people can make something else, something awesome and something that I would someday want to play.

I think that I have babbled enough in this post, to be honest I feel strange and not really like my chipper self.  I'm off now, bey.

HUNGRY!!!!!!!!!!!

As you can tell from my title I am hungry right now, it was a long and awesome day.  In door soccer was really fun tonight, we ended up winning but the other team only had four players but still wanted to play a legit game so we were cool with that.  Let me tell you something, the only four players that showed up for the other team were all older Mexican gentlemen and they could play, we won by a lot but that still doesn't dismiss the fact that they kicked ass in every aspect to the point where I wished that they were on our team.  Also all four of the guys were super cool, the whole game was just a lot of fun with some dudes who you could learn from just by watching them.  But gash damn, after the game I was super hungry and I have still not eaten anything yet, but I will very soon, like very very soon, JUST WAIT FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!

In some other semi life changing news.

I met my dad's side of the family, I have never met any of those kind people before and they have virtually been absent from my whole life until today.  Before i go on, I suppose some back story is going to be needed.  My conception was a total accident, I was by no means what so ever a planned baby.  The story i got from my mom is that my dad wanted to get married for whatever reason but my mom did not, so he stayed around for about 2 months after I was born and then just split.  I wouldn't talk to my dad or see him for the rest of my life after this until I turned 18 and I finally got the courage to find his number and call him.  Anyways, I'm veering away from the original story.  About a year ago thanks to Facebook I found my dad's family and some of my cousins who in turn pointed me in the right direction to find my aunt's on his side as well.  I am now friends with all of them on Facebook.  Well, my aunt Lori messaged me about a week ago saying that her, her husband and my grandparents wanted to meet me and asked if we could meet somewhere in Sonora.  I gladly accepted and we chose to meet up at the Perko's in Sonora since my grandparents live in Twain Harte.  The Date was set for January 2nd at 9:30am.

So early yesterday I got the kids and the wife and myself ready and we got in the car and drove on down to Perko's cafe.  Meeting the four of them today was such an awesome experience, they are some of the nicest most well rounded people I know.  We talked about everything from my family and my mom and her family to their side of the family like kids, grand kids and stuff like that.  I learned a lot about my dad and even found out that we have a couple of things in common like how much food we can eat, apparently we both have a bottomless pit for a stomach.  Now, I know some of you might be thinking, "why didn't you ask them why they never wanted to seek you out and meet you until now?"  Well, I did kind of want to ask that but, I really didn't want to dampen the mood, perhaps those kind of questions would be more suited for a personal conversation between just me and them and not at a local Perko's.  That shit would be very very awkward and I really didn't want to make this first meeting an awkward experience.  I really just wanted to get to know them, I literally know nothing about any of these people and we share the same blood, it's sad to me sometimes when I really think about it.  This is my chance to be with people who I've wanted to meet my whole life, people who I have dreamed about and imagined in my head a thousand times.  I couldn't have asked for a better first meeting and I cant wait to get to know these family members even more now.  It's finally time for me to be involved with the family that I really didn't know I had.  So I am greatly looking for to that, it's going to be a great experience, I can feel it.

That's all for today, if you have any questions about this or my experience from yesterday then feel free to ask away.  Until next time.

The Un-Happy

Oh my lanta, even when you try to make others happy and what not they still find a way to make something into a negative, it's annoying.

Onto other things, one sentence rant is finished.

My youngest son has started rolling over, its amazing and at the same time scary because sooner then later he is going to start crawling and after that walking and then terrorizing the house along with his older brother.  I think that they are expertly set up to be partners in crime for sure, if not, then mortal enemies.  The end outcome has yet to be decided.  To be honest I cant wait to enroll them into sports, my hope is that sooner or later they will be on the same team and I can watch them tag team it up like little boss's and just be little sports stars.  Or they will beat up the kids that mess with them, either way it will be awesome.

The band I am currently in is still on a Hiatus of sorts, our drummer is getting married this week, then they have a honeymoon and then hopefully we can get back into making music.  I know I am looking forward to this because I have been feeling super music depraved as of lately, I need it in my life or I will go crazy, that's a fact.  Until this moment I will have to wait, definitely not patiently but in some way shape and form.

Oh, and one other thing...

ITS MY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
