Haley's new ring

And there I stood…

I stood in awe today for several minutes watching a thousand colors move, blend and change shape in rapid succession. Its like enjoying a grand orchestra of many players that never played the same set of notes twice. This tree outside my apartment, was moving quite seamlessly with the Lubbock wind. I looked at that undeniably gorgeous, living piece of life, and thought…it’s been here all the while I’ve lived in this house…likely just as beautifully perfect and peaceful as it is right now. How many people have lived here and seen this tree, just as I have? Every time i’ve been angry, frustrated, and feeling sorry for myself… it has been standing there… just being alive. I think maybe, it’s time for me to live a little.

Stars and stories…

Oakie — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 03:43:37 +0000

There are millions of stars in the sky… and as such there are many dots of light in the sky. Some people try to connect the dots in the sky to form them into different kinds of shapes. This is in an attempt to make some kind of sense and shape out of them. They do this to organize and define their world. They do this, in hope that it will give them some kind of control over it. Many people give these shapes names, and sometimes even associate ideas, feelings, and stories with them. Due to this, some of those defined shapes usually end up with great power, affecting the decisions people make, thereby altering lives and the course of the world. This power is not found on their own, it is given by the people who give great power and meaning to these shapes. Some of the shapes are so meaningful to people that they would give anything for them, live for them, fight for them, hurt for them, and die for them. These stars don’t know that people have assigned shapes for them. They are completely oblivious to the fact. In reality, all stars stay the same no matter what shapes are being assigned to them. They just continue being what they are, stars. This is because when people look at the stars, they don’t see the stars, they see what’s inside their own mind, even if they don’t realize this. If these shapes existed in other people’s minds, every living being would look at the stars and see the exact same shape. The truth is, some people look at those same stars and see shapes no one else sees. some see no shapes at all, just never ending points of beautiful light.

Fall Arrives

There are many things I realized today…

Oakie — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 04:48:52 +0000

I realized that I love to sing with my body. I love watching trees dance in the wind. Love the sound moving water makes. Rolling down high hills with tall grass. Listen to my heart tell me secrets. How the world bends. Not knowing everything. The smell of trees and bark. Wolves. Being warm and yet cold at the same exact time. Jumping over creeks, foot to stone, stone to foot. The Christmas spirit in the air. Watching the sky with the earth at my back. Taking photographs of loved ones… including friends. The autumn leaves in the driveway. The tap tap tap of rain and snow. The reflection of sunlight. And how the world bends in a way so big it’s hard to see.

Yes… I love this.

From now on… I will be taking a different approach to this website. I will post all of my photography in here starting today. Like a photoblog of my photography. Yes, exactly that.

I just finished my CS lab progam, was quite a bitch let me assure you.

Lights in my room, they make my room look amazing.

Can I have my Battletoads, please?

Oakie — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 00:44:17 +0000

Oh. My. God.

This has to be the most amazing, beautiful, and GLORIOUS thing I have ever seen in the history of the internet tubes. In fact, I think I want my reserved copy of Battletoads… IMMEDIATELY. I will be calling my local gamestop regarding this matter.

For the lulz. (713) 528-6609‎

Back to FFXI

Oakie — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 06:09:58 +0000

I received warm welcomes as I logged back in to Final Fantasy XI. I’ve been gone for about 5 months and decided to start playing again since school has somewhat ended for me. I decided I needed a change in jobs and asked for help to acquire the Ninja job.

Misera, Pyriel, Erefe, Baze, and Chrysantheum all helped, but thanks to Py for being the first to offer his services as a 75 Dark Knight.

It all started with us gathering together in korroloka tunnel, and then heading towards the NM mob spawn that drops the key item needed to continue the quest.

We finally found the “???” and we traded the key item to it in order to spawn the Korolokka Leech, and kill it for its drop in order to complete the NIN quest.

After we got the drop it was time to head to Norg and finish the NIN quest. But getting there wasnt going to be easy. I have not been Kahzam in a long time, and i didnt know my way through the jungle, thankfully Py was there to lead the way

Finally, Norg!

Well we decided to so the Samurai job quest also since we were already in Norg, so we killed two birds with one stone

And finally, this is Py being funny…
