A New View on Things

I guess I'll just go chronologically through the weekend as I normally do.

Friday I got some merits and then went to a birthday party. After the birthday party I went out to a bar and saw a kid I hadn't seen since like 9th grade. He told me about this band that was playing at Cebar's in Euclid, Sumrada. What he didn't know is that I have known that family for basically my entire life and they are actually cousins of one of my best friends growing up ... small world.

Saturday I woke up and promptly begain meriting again with Mactatus and it seems every party I am in with him at the bird camps does about 20k/hr. I mean we were TEARING through mobs like they were Easy Prey. At the end of the day I was sitting at 4/5 Store TP so I decided to upgrade my gear a little more and got 2 pieces of Hachiman gear. The hands will be a permanent addition and the feet are going to be for WSing now until I can get a pair of rutters. Which by the way, I did have a rutter run with Mac and Dray helping out, Mac tanking and Dray for the TH3, but sadly they didn't drop. It was a rather easy fight for Mac so hopefully I can get another air tank and get it to drop this next time.

After gaming I went to the bar to see Sumrada play and had a fun night. Afterwards I went home and Khrone was supposed to just stay at my house but he ended up stopping at someone else's house after the bar. I was then later woken up by my brother I live with to here that Khrone tried driving home (about a 30 min drive) and fell asleep at the wheel. He rolled his Jeep on the freeway and somehow walked away without even literally a scratch. When I heard that he rolled his Jeep I don't think I have ever frozen up like that before. I mean I was literally in a daze and broke out in a cold sweat, it was almost like I had a near death experience. Luckily he is fine and today he said he wasn't even really sore but his Jeep was totalled. Since we work together I have become his personal PL, I mean driver, since we work at the same place anyways. So this week I dunno my availability for anything since I will be spending my time working around his schedule too.

Sunday was just spent meriting again as I want to horde as much as I could to finally finish Store TP to 5/5, which I did, and be able to move on to something that will help me do more damage on my WS, like GK skill which is now level 3 as well. I think I will spend the time to get GK 8/8 and Overwhelm at 3/5 and then get back to Maat's Cap jobs. Those are the biggest 2 increases in damage and accuracy before it gets kind of retarded to upgrade anymore. As it stands to just get to that point I will need 27 merits which is quite a daunting task. I think I may call it quits for meriting after this week unless I get those 27 merits first. Samurai is a fun job and I can start doing some great damage on it but I don't really feel the need to completely cap merits on it and pimp it all out. Besides, I honestly want to get back to MNK and working towards Maat's Cap.

Some sad news this weekend, LolFail has ceased to be a sky shell. Sush decided he was done with sky and handed over the reigns of sky to Zalorolo who has seemingly picked up Hybrid as the 2nd in command. From what I understand it wasn't a pretty split because Sush did take the bank for the week which A LOT of people were angry about and he supposedly took the pop items and sold them as well for himself to keep. The word on the street is that Sush did walk away with about 6M in pop items and gil items from the week. As for the other pop items that Hulc had I don't know what happened to those. I don't feel the need to state my opinion because its mine and I like to stay unbiased either way. I know Sush wants me to roll with them for low man sky to just strictly get gil which I am perfectly ok with because gil has always been the problem with me in my career in FFXI. On the other hand I feel that the other friends I have made through LolFail would be mad at me for going with him to do that. It seems that I am damned if I do, damned if I don't because I know I could do better for my char if I went with Sush, but do better for more people if I went with Relentless (the new sky shell). Since I don't really have to decide either way for now I will just soak up the extra time I have with Khrone and try to either help him get more stuff done, like missions and assaults, or merit and exp to go for Maat's Cap. As for if either group needs/wants me to help out I am more than willing to, like how Sush and I duo'd a Despot this weekend and made a quick and easy 225k a piece. Or if Khrone wants to get back to sky to finish off his pieces of gear and maybe get me an Osode in the process I'm down for that as well. Time will tell to see where I end up. Although, sea does sound nice because I could get my enfeebling cape that I am aching to get. Ok, this post has gone on long enough...

Tonight I will be moving my PC to Khrone's house because it seems I'll be staying there for the next few nights at least. Khrone and I have found a new toy to play with though so that will probably take up some of our time tonight playing with that. He will probably be doing a lot of car searching since he is still carless and I will probably be doing a lot of exping, hehe. Hopefully I can get my old PC working again as well because I think the power supply died on me and it has taken me literally months to do anything about it. So I'll have my work cut out for me tonight.

People, wear your safety belts. I have no doubt in my mind that if I wasn't wearing mine, I would be dead right now.
