My birthdays have ussually being awful. I’m glad today is a good one, even if I’m spending it working like crazy.

2 years ago. RVB’s episode was called “Happy birthday”.

1 year ago. I saved my father once, and my mother twice in the same day. I wasn’t expecting life to throw such a challenge the same day I got my age majority… And I can’t describe how much a sutuation like that changed me.

Here’s for a new day. A new start. A new life.

Of freelancing.

Advanced Warfare’s co-op mode revealed. Survival is great, but I was really hoping that SpecOps would be with it like it was in Modern Warfare 3. I’ll continue to keep the hope alive…

> > We just live in a society that cheats on each other all the time. Divorce is crazy high. I blame the ease it is of being able to communicate with other people daily.

Well how easy it is now. Facebook. Smartphones. Snapchat. The ease of being unfaithful is so right in everyones face.

Happy BDAY!

Happy birthday DHG Siul!

Felt so good getting back into the gym past few days. I’m that guy who walks around with a limp and knee brace. Too bad I’m not taller, I’d say I hurt it by beating 9 people in basketball

Happy birthday Siul.

As I’ve said before many times, you have to see both the good and bad in the world to have a realistic view. Maybe one overlies the other, but that’s not something we can directly know. I was just thinking about this the other day, and yes it may be very personal but I’m not going to overshare, I was asking myself, “Are the people around me, are my friends reliable? Do I have to look over my shoulders all the time?” But there’s no one answer, just because one person stabs me in the back doesn’t mean another friend will. And just because another friend is good to me doesn’t mean someone else won’t.

We’re living in very peaceful times right now compared to the eras before, but I don’t think war will go away that easily. As humans, we are not perfect people. I think war is very human.

But of course, I wish for peace and unity where there can be.

Like your signature Oompaa, BTW.

Happy birthday, Siul! Also, The Shawshank Redemption is 20 years old as of yesterday. That is such a good film, I highly recommend it.

Thank you, Stream :slight_smile:
Hehe John Locke was a philosopher but I wanted to have this as a sig on a Halo site because John and Locke, get it? Okay maybe I’m not funny, but it’s a very cool quote, I find.

I seem to take a survivalist view then. I find that when I trust someone to do something, I end up getting knocked for it. The only works I can trust are those of my own hands. It’s a very lonely lifestyle, with few real friends. People mistake an aura of solitude for one of superiority, and it has caused much conflict. The friends I do count have never failed to help me. It’s just important to realize when something is too big for any one person.
Such a true quote. I can’t resolve a conflict right off, so it takes me over, trying to find a way to end it.
Oh, and happy birthday Siul.

I’ll be honest, I had a large paragraph written up arguing this. But I need to stop getting into fights over real world problem with people on the internet so I’m just going to say this. No, things are pretty -Yoinked!- right now and it needs to be accepted.

Compared to our past? No.

We have improved a lot. Things are not as -Yoinked!- as they once were and it needs to be accepted.

Don’t think I have much to add on that topic, will reply when I have something.

How do these Batman jokes not get old? Because “I’m Batman!”

Your right. The world provoking Russia who has nuclear weapons is far better then barbarians invading.

“I hate you son. Here, have my last work”

That cracked me up.

Yeah, let’s go back to the Dark Ages. Those were much better times…

Same here. Now that I think about it, there’s a lot of people with parents with poor-parenting skills in the universe. Max Dillon, Harry Osborn, Mary Jane, and a few others.
