Cat People (1)

It has been a while since I have updated my blog. For those who follow me, very few, I apologize. Many just check in occasionally so I don't see it as a huge issue.

People who have a lot of cats and aren't very social have adapted the stereotype of a cat person. This is very misleading. Shouldn't a cat person have whiskers or a tail at the very least? Hasn't America learned anything about misplaced adjectives! I mean come on. This is a serious issue. I think of a human-cat hybrid when you say cat person. Possible other terms for these people are: cat likers, those who enjoy cats, or even people who have to make friends with other species. All of those options are pretty long, so I can understand why America hasn't formally adopted one yet, but I think it is only a matter of time!

Daily Pickaxe #2

Just to give a quick rundown there are five people in this Minecraft world. Treeestan (Tristan), Dylandejong (Dylan), osky (Brian), Chuck (Chuck), Vkec (Steve), and Maxmillz23 (myself).

Recently on the server there has been a lot of expanding. Steve is expanding his never ending rollarcoaster with a complex system of caves. While Brian never seems to be online any more. The group worries about his mental health because it must be deteriorating due to a lack of Minecraft. The rest of the team has been continually working on the soccer field project in our free time. Needless to say there has been much progress. The field itself is done and goals are erected. This just leaves us with a small list of large things to accomplish.

1. Put nets on the goals
2. Start Seating
3. Put up an Old Trafford sign

The group is still discussing options for netting.

The Daily Pickaxe #1

I am a huge soccer fan. Which is why the next big thing for me in the world of Minecraft is a decently to scale soccer field. Collaborating with me on this project are two good friends, Tristan and Dylan. We have hopes of making a Manchester United replica, but right now we are just focused on the field itself.

So, I logged on to Minecraft and today I was able to finish the outline of the field. We are using green wool for the grass and white wool for the lines. The field's dimensions are 120x75. So the area is huge. I was able to finish the outside lines,the 18 yd and 6yd lines. Next, the center lines and the opposite side 18yd and 6yd lines need done. I am just happy to have the outline done. Getting the field required a lot of counting and double counting which grows tiresome. Hopes are high, but the task itself is large indeed.

*Above is a picture from the side of the 18yd line. Beautiful view as the sun sets*

The Daily Pickaxe

As of recent I began playing Minecraft. That game is awesome. The world at your finger tips. If you haven't already heard of this new phenomena then I'll explain. Minecraft is a game where you have to survive. You craft tools using your resources and then it is up to you how to play the game. I see it as the ultimate sandbox game.

A vast number of people are playing this game and creating these magnificent buildings and structures. So, I decided to keep a little news article updating the world with news about my Minecraft adventures. This journal, of sorts, will be called, "The Daily Pickaxe."

Bed Bugs

Sleep tight, and don't let the bed bugs bite. Clever rhyme. It almost seems cliche when a parent tells their child this. When I was young I played it off as just some crazy thing that parents did, but as I aged I realized this warning was quite serious. Bed bugs are scary shit. They drink your blood while you sleep! They're basically small vampires! It is even more terrifying thinking that they are some fabled creature drawn up by some crazy parent trying to be cool by putting his child to sleep with a clever rhyme. The realization of the reality of bed bugs frightened me. I was taken back. "Really?" is the only thing that came to mind. I thought someone was messing with me when I found out. It is only now that I realize how serious the warning was. How I shouldn't have played it off. It only makes me think, are there other things my parents said that I thought were fake? I guess only time will tell.

Sleep tight, and please be wary of bed bugs.

Warlocks and Charlie Sheen

Any one else really tired of Charlie Sheen? "Negative publicity is good publicity." Not quite sure how that quote goes, but I think Mr. Sheen is taking it a bit too seriously.

He recently called himself a, "Vatican assassin warlock". Which may sound cool, but it also may anger others. A practicing warlock from Salem, the famed town that held witch trials, was deeply offended.

"I am going to magically bind Mr. Sheen, not to harm him, but to simply prevent him from using this word in such a negative manner in the future," Christian Day, a practicing warlock, told TMZ.

I can only imagine Charlie shaking in his thousand dollar boots as he sits in his mansion. He should most definitely be scared as to the strength of this warlock clan.

Fake sleep!

Pretending to be asleep when someone new enters an environment is an all time classic. What I don't understand is how effective it truly is. No one can ever see through this disguise. It's crazy. I just don't understand how people can't see through it! It's the simplest ploy, yet 100% effective. I love it. It's my go to move, and I never regret it.
