And with a blink on an eye, June was gone. Recently I went to renew my site ghostie.us, when I noticed on checkout ghostie.net is available. So I now have both sites, but please note I may not renew ghostie.us next year if you continue to use ghostie.us.

Spring  is here (or rather soon to be leaving).  I haven’t updated since I bought a year’s worth of web hosting last November. So after six months of about $60, here’s a post to try make up for that. Writing in a blog is a lot different now than it used to be. For one I don’t have much to complain about or rant about, and if I do, it’s just a bunch of stuff that no one really wants to read. And thus, I haven’t felt motivated to write anything. I am planning to start posting on this site and blogger simultaneously, in case I don’t renew web hosting again in November.

Right now I’m still jobless, hoping to find some sort of job by summer. That though is something I’ve been meaning to write about since January; how my last job was like, start to finish, and how it changed part of me (everything you do in life will have some effect on you especially when you’re there 20-40 hours a week).

I might be moving out end of this year, though I don’t really see it happening till 2011, with no job and so on.  Well that’s all for now.. its 2am and brain dead. I’ll leave you with this wow video..

Achievement Wh0re

Well, well, well.

We meet again.  At last.

The site is back. I couldn’t resist, resistance was futile. Back in July I thought I’d save a few bucks and not renew the hosting plan and I kept trying to use livejournal. Something about LJ I didn’t like, so I tried blogspot and wordpress.com, and yet something still isn’t right. I found out that there not MY website. I can’t tweak it which is probably more fun than writing you know, stuff. So here I am, I’m back for better or for worse. And here are some of the things I’ll be changing in the next few weeks:

1. Add Sections back (or new)
   • Calendar
   • Gallery
   • Message board
   • warcraft?
   • webcam?
   • history
   • site map
2. edit/improve the site
   • tweak or make new layout
   • debating on removing front page
   • integrate facebook, google, youtube, twitter etc with site for a more connected experience.

Last week we’ve heard from cnn about the boy at ground zero of Swine Flu. Well i’m here to break it to you that this outbreak, did not start in Mexico.

Have you ever been on Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland? Ever notice how close those pigs are? Personally I believe someone should contact the WHO about this very serious problem. How many thousands of people pass by those pigs every day? Whats Disney doing about this problem? Nothing! From one source there could be as many as 100 pirates on the ride with flu like symptoms, tests are pending. So next time you decided to go on this ride, I suggest buying one of these

So I rushed that first post a while back. I wanted to get something up as soon as possible. I left out some items. First is at socalgoth.com you can find radio stations from san diego that plays on Thursday, Friday nights. And yup, they are streamed on the web too. Its nice (even though there may be some advertisement) to have a live dj, giving some info threw out the show, and what’s happening around the area I live in. The rest of the time I’ll have to settle with non live djs. One internet station I found back when I played second life was tormentedradio.com by dj dead. There’s also gothradio.com.

And now the boring stuff. Radio stations haven’t been doing that well for years now. I know at least 3 here that have gone out. I however rarely listen to radio because; I have better music for me on my ipod. So will radio die? Everyones using those high tech ipods/mp3 players, those cds players.. it’s the death of radio! I’m not too sure there will be, however it will continue to shrink, and perhaps evolve. What do I mean? Well satellite radio, that thing that was suppose to end radio, well it’ll never do that, but it shows us that people want diverse music. Now here’s where it gets complicated. We are seeing a move into the all in one device. This is why apple, controlling the mp3 market, saw how it’ll just one day be replaced by.. yup phones. My nokia e71, can go to these internet stations in the car and play music threw my car speakers. It can play the songs I have on it. Only part that we have to deal with is the service providers for phones and there networks signal/charges (that one man with att that was watching tv for example). Is this perhaps why they did or were trying to get rid of free internet radio? Now my ideas are way off, but it isn’t hard to see one day, plug your phone into the car, and have control over everything that you want. We already can press next button from your steering wheels for ipods….

I’ll usually leave the life entries to livejournal, this, however is one exception. (I will try best keep personal stuff limited as best I can).  So ever heard of a game called world of warcraft? Yeah, I play it; have for 4 years and counting. Early on for first two years, I had problems threw out, where I’d find myself on it ten hours a day. Day after day I’d be playing this game. Time passed and I woke up and realized its not that important to me.

The problem is my girlfriend, has a problem and can’t even admit it. She’s on it, all the time, everyday. Its getting to the point were the relationship is being damaged, and she doesn’t even notice it. I’ve tried talking to her but she just says “I don’t know why you have such a problem with me playing wow so much”. For one, she talks more to her guild members than me. This past week she’s hardly messaged me. Her priority right now is a game, a game. Most breakups from wow are based on girl leaving guy, but if this keeps on and gets worse, it might be other way around, that’s what this road looks like. I hope it doesn’t but i have no idea how to get threw to her, how it isn’t good for her playing so much, it isn’t good for us.

Today i’ve discovered a radio station that doesn’t play, well, there music.

I found threw socalgoth.com a radio station that plays every Saturday darker music. KUCI 88.9. From 8 To 10pm and then a different show comes on from 10 to midnight. The only problem is its located in Irvine, and radio doesn’t pick it up here. They do have a stream on the web threw kuci.org. You’ll find it in the top right of the page. More importantly it posts on there show blog all the songs that was played. Great, new music, i know the name, and a radio station I can truly listen to.
