Need tickets? Selling Tickets?

Posted in Personal on May 30th, 2008

Ever wished that you could make that special event? No, I’m not talking about your child’s birth, or even your wedding. I’m talking about the race, or the Nine Inch Nails, or the big game.

Well you will have a better possibility of making that special event if you use Seat Exchange. You can buy concert tickets and other special event tickets, even ballet (ewww!).

You can even sell the tickets to events that you are not going to be able to make. Wife divorcing you because you refuse to use the ballet tickets? Need make up time with your mistress, and can’t make the Bulls vs Nicks? You can sell them all on Seat Exchange.

Did you get in to a car crash, and can’t make the Marylin Manson concert? Going to your daughters graduation, and can’t make the ho-down at the Grand Ol’ Opry? Sell your seats at Seat Exchange.

Now that you know where to buy and sell your event tickets online. Just head over to Seat Exchange and get ‘em tickets!

Back to reality

It is extremely easy to get used to being in the woods. Camping brings out new life in people I think. So much, that it took me about 30 minutes to get used to camping. It has taken me about a week to get used to the everyday grind of life.

I used to enjoy MMORPGs. Grinding out experience points to level my character, I had no problems with. It seems though that I just wish to retreat when it comes down to the daily grind. You don’t get more experience, you just get more experienced.

What I mean is, in a game, you can go out and kill a mob several times. You gain experience, and you have become experienced at killing that mob. That task becomes easier and easier. You can then move on to the next mob with the knowledge that you have gained from the previous.

This however doesn’t apply to the real world. Lets say that you run into someone and you have an issue with this person. You are able to resolve it. The next person you run into and have an issue with, nothing will seem to work. You have to relearn everything that you knew about people.

In ways it is like a game when it comes to progressing though the game. Bosses will always be different and will challenge you in different ways, the same as people. A boss mob in a game, however, will never change, people do. Someone will become a pain during the day or just get stupid on you.

People change and you are not always able to fend off your attackers nor overcome your or someone’s problems. Getting back to life from camping and Moondance, you really have to look inward and outward. Is all of this really worth the effort that you seem to have to put into it?

Sure we live longer, stressful, drugged up lives now. Just the basics is really all we truly need. It is just simple living, and it is great. The flip side to that is where we are as a human race now, we will never be able to go back to the simpler life, just because is seems harder, and tougher. Not that it really is.

After my reality check, I try to remember what is so great about getting away from it all, and enjoy the air conditioning.

Amie Street Music Wednesday #34

Amie St. Music Wednesday

I have listened to this album about 5 times. Every time that I do I don’t quite get it because of interruptions or something. I even tried to listen to it last night while playing CoD4, and that didn’t go over really well.

As things go, I was compelled to listen. Mythica, has a great tone. I enjoyed just listening to them in the back ground of what ever I have been doing. Most of the time not even realizing that they were playing, just me being calm.

The flutes, piano, bagpipes, and many other instruments. I have to say that this is a very nice well rounded album. Just Kidding, has it all. Completely instrumental. It is simply wonderful.

I really need to mention that For Patrick really is what hooked me, and got me to get the album. Although, the rest of the album is enjoyable, For Patrick really needed to be noted.

I hope that you enjoy this weeks Amie St. Music Wednesday.

I feel refreshed. What a great time we had. It was much needed.

It is great to wake up tend to a fire, and site back and relax. There was plenty of drinking on my part. I know for a fact that the second day I drank a bottle and a half of mead. THEY HAD BLACKBERRY!! I love blackberries.

It is late. I don’t know if I will post more tonight or not. It is getting late and I have had a full day of packing and unloading the car.

Oh the stew this year was great up until the hail storm, rain, and tornado went do the road near by where we were staying. Needless to say, it would have continued but I couldn’t get the wood dry enough for it to start back up. Oh well. I did get two bowls out of it.
