Gamer Shift

I'm bored and I must wait at this Comp. for a while; I need some solns for my practice final...Lets talk Video Games people! For the past 2 1/2 years I have been a proud Wii owner however, it is now 2009 and I have missed many great games I would like to play but these great games arent for the Wii. I cant say I regret choosing the Wii because the games I DO have are pretty great, But I'm already missing/gonna miss great games on the 360 and PS3: Fable 2. Halo 3, RE5, Street Fighter 4, The new Star Ocean, Various other RPG's I'd like the play, and Final Fantasy 13, just to name a few. This has to change; I have no intention of trashing my Wii because of certian games I know are coming: Monster Hunter 3 ^_^, There's an upcoming Capcom vs...something Japanese game, and more way down the line. However I need to get my hands on one of the other systems. I've always talked about going "Wii60"(for those of you who dont understand Wii + Xbox 360 = Wii60= having them both) but I think Final Fantasy 13 is a PS3 exclusive...this is my conundrum.

in other news I'm considering buying the new Monster Hunter Unite for PSP, even if it's just an expansion of MH2, which I have. For anyone who doesnt know: Monster Hunter is an adventure game where the concept is exactly what you'd figure; you're a hunter and you kill monsters. Now what you may not figure is: there are different areas to explore and actually more to the game than just killing monsters. You can search around and gather materials to heal and enhance yourself, after slaying a monster you run over to the body and carve off materials,(This is how you get meat which you need to keep your stamina up), you can take the materials back to the village and use them to make special weapons and armor. It's a good game that sadly not many people know of. If you're a gamer and like action/adventure, give it a try you wont be dissapointed. And that was my sales pitch(Capcom should hook me up XD).

Many people complain about the camera angles and the battle system being complicated, I'd have to disagree. In my case the only things I complain about are that my PSP is busted and that messes up my movement(which really has nothing to do with MH XD), and the lack of other people having MH to play with. I was kinda hoping that they would make this expansion Infastructure Multiplayer so that you could play with people online. Dispite these complaints I do intend to buy this game, and I'm hoping I can find some players, git @ me!!

In my life 6/17/09

~~Nostalgic. I've been engaged in Summer school for about 4-6 weeks now, and it's killing me; I mean my grades in the class are surprizingly good (I have a great professor) however, if I was back at home I would have more money by now. I feel like I wont have much summer for myself which I guess is a part of growing up; as you grow you'll have less and less time to do the things you WANT because of the things you HAVE to do. I understand that, but it still has me longing the way it used to be.
~~Graditude. As I have written in the previous entry I'm taking summer school at ODU, which is in Norfolk. I live in Churchview, which is in Middlesex...yeah 2hr commute everyday mon-fri @ 6am. Not to mention the $10 to get from Middlesex to Norfolk and from Norfolk to Middlesex...everyday; Add on $2 for the coleman bridge toll. Times 5 days a week, what do you have boys and girls?? $60 a week, and for someone who lucks out on a weekend job that's a nightmare, whatwith other bills and such. However my good friend has let me stay with her in her apartment while I take my class causing me to only have to take one trip back and forth. God looks out, I am truly grateful.
~~Wondering. I've recently had many encounters with other females and I've had the opportunity to just sit down and chat for a while. Most of them ask me the same thing: "Why are you still single??" Truth be told I dont know myself. I know I have some admirable qualities in me, and I'm a Handsome guy ,if I might say so myself. I guess if I have to pick something I am a little timid. Sometimes I wish I had more drive, more swag, so to speak. Though I've improved alot since my first year in college. Sometimes I do get lonely however I'm thinking maybe for the moment I dont need a relationship. I can be alone, though I enjoy the company of a nice young lady. I think I need this time to improve myself. Maybe that's why, however I dont really know. Right now I'll just play it by ear, but sometimes I cant help but wonder.

A Reflection's Reflection

Everywatch Maury?? The topics and the people that show up are pretty intense. The young ladies that show up 14 and 15 talking about having sex and kids, hitting and abusing other family members and the like. They just dont care, poor lost souls. It's sad, and sickining. The young men arent any better, cheating on they women, getting other chix pregnant and walking away from their responsibilities when they know the truth. There was a woman that came on that was married to the uncle, and had sex with the nephew and got pregnant...damn shame, on both of them.

My people my people, what is wrong?? I dont know what's worse: That there really are people out there that live like this, or that this is the kinda stuff that we call :"Entertainment".

I must be some sorta fool

I've come to the conclusion that I'm a defective guy. Everytime I come across a female with problems I cant help but to help her solve it the best I can, where some of my boyz I know would take advantage of the situation and try to "get in good" with her. As much as I see the opportunity and would like to do the same, I just dont have the heart to use a girl's emotions against her...what's wrong with me?? haha it seems it's like a natural reaction: girl has problem, I help solve, we all move on. I'm getting used to the chain of action but at the same time I wonder where I'd be if I did them just like my boyz woulda...Dont get me wrong, by no means am I longing to become that way but sometimes I wonder why caused me to become this way, and just what it's leading me to...

What is it??

What is it?? What is it about me that causes me to go though a door and look back to see if someone is there?? What makes me then proceed to hold the door for that person?? What causes me stand by the edge of the street and wait for a car to beckon me before crossing?? On the other hand, what is it that makes me stop and beckon the waiting pedestrian to cross me?? What is it that causes me to not laugh at thy fallen young lady but to help her to stand to her feet?? What is it that makes me open the door of my car for my passenger before I open the door for myself?? What is it, what is it, what is it??

I have an answer: Common Courtesy. Born, raised, and practiced into Common Courtesy, I continue to do these things and more even when no one else does. Funny how that is, that Common Courtesy even having the word "Common" in it just isnt all the common anymore. So thats why I continued to ask What is it, what is it, what is it?? Sadly many people dont seem to know.

Moon

So I know a lot of yall are wondering: What's up with the moon picture??. Well There's this awesome game called Persona of the Shin Megami Tensei series made by Atlus. That game has elements of various different religions and the like, it was there I was introduced to the Tarot Cards and the Major Arcana. So just for fun I thought I'd pick one that kinda reflected me and my personally based on SMT's interpertation of each Arcana. I went with the Moon, the 18th Arcana.In Persona you meet people whose situations deal with and reflect each arcana.

In Persona 3 the person reflecting the moon arcana is a kinda heavy-set dude named Nozomi. He was known as the top Gourmet around town, he also was a member of a cult and was rumored to pull a scam on some of the locals, for this he was picked on by other students and some adults. But all-in-all he was a good guy, a little misunderstood and shunned from other for his shadyness and mysterous ways.

In Persona 4 the person reflecting the Moon arcana was a stuck-up self-centered girl named Ai. Named to be the Cutest girl in the Yasogami High school, but she was cruel putting herself first and shooting down guys if she thought they werent on her "level." But as the main character gets to know her she comes clean about how she was called ugly and outta shape in Grade School. Her family became rich and she moved to another town where she started all over and believed that she had to act uppity to be accepted and wanted by the guys. Heh turned out she's not half bad once she stopped lying to herself and started being who she really was. She was a mystery to herself leaving others in the shade cast from her own confusion.

Take a breather, that was alot of stuff. Now back to me right?? :-3

What I've gathered from this is, the people who reflect the Moon arcana are mysterous, and sometimes that causes people to shun them or misunderstand them. They also seem to be loners weather it's because of people not understanding them or from the person themself pushing others away. These people also seem to be very emotional, and occationally overthink simple situations turning them into complex ones.

What do you think of when you think of the moon??

"Shining" alongside the darkness without interupting the flow, constantly "shining" even in the darkest dark. Mysterous maybe even onmious it's eerie glow, it's many shapes it takes as time moves on. You may have noticed that I quotated the Shining parts of the previous statements. For those of you that dont know, the moon doesnt really shine, the light that we see is light from the sun reflected by the moon. The different phases are caused by the shadow casted by the Earth which gets "bigger" or "Smaller" as the moon revolves around the earth. Thats where my interpetation kicks in.

I'm not your average guy, I think and act differently than most people around me. Some people are intimidated by that, others misunderstand me and avoid me because of it. But my X-factor is my charm, though it repels many, the ones that do stick around stick around long and become special friends to me. I'm also very emotional which used to bother me; doesnt really seem like a Masculine trait huh?? This too is a part of my charm, I can connect with people on a whole other level than most guys because of it. Of course it has it's drawbacks but I'm learning to get to most out of it, and making sure people dont mistake Kindness for Weakness. Truth be told I love nighttime, there's just something about the night sky that's peaceful to me. Just like the moon I'm also laid-back, I like to take it slow and move smart rather than rushing blindly. Just as the Moon reflects the sun's light I shall reflect God's love and continue to radiate even in the Darkest Dark. The clouds may block the moon but it continues to reflect and radiate, So even when things may seem cloudy, you may think I've stopped shining but look again, behind it all I've never stopped. And just like the Moon occationally the earth casts it's shadow upon me, I may not seem like myself from time to time but I've never forgot my Identity or my purpose. I am Wayne Jessie Jr. and even when the Shadow of the earth is upon me, it is only temporary and I WILL shine again, bank on it.

I hope my words have shaken you to your core, and given you a deeper perspective of my mind and personality; how they work though my eyes. Think of me next time you gaze into the night sky, give me a smile huh??

Reflection

Tonight I faced a part of myself, it brought me closer to the truth. I admitted the truth that's still too unbearable to speak, I forced myself to understand that truth and came to terms with myself on how to handle that. A huge amount of me is still unknown to myself, but as I continue to improve and move onward I'll get to know myself even more and be one step closer to the me I'm meant to be. I did what I had to do because I'm too selfless; I tend to care about other people more than I care about myself; Looking back now that is crazy. I do however, understand that everything doesnt revolve around me, s'all about finding the medium. You had to go, or else my suffering would continue. Know this: Wayne Jessie Jr. is continuously improving the design and the algorithims of what it's means to be Wayne Jessie Jr. It wont be easy but I will face myself and come to peace with myself in order to correct the corrurption in my life self-inflected and otherwise. Indeed time moves on and thus, Wayne moves on, unstoppable, and regardless of any situation or circumstance. Heh that's funny, the guy I'm looking at in tha mirror seems more mature somehow...
