March 20, 2012- Sooo foggy today
Virtually no visibility.
Also I really need to keep up with these picture posts. I take the pic but get too lazy to post them and I fall behind. This was probably the biggest catch up I've had to do so far. Just gotta post one a day, geeeezzz.

March 16, 2012- New mouse
My old one was dying on me. This is a 4600 DPI Microsoft gaming mouse, apparently. It's working well so far.

Hold the line!
I have been entrenched these past several days in the Facebook group "Retake Mass Effect". This movement is basically a group fighting for a proper ending for the game we love. Several things have gone down the biggest being the Child's Play charity to help sick kids have better lives while they receive care in hospitals while promoting awareness for the Mass Effect 3 ending . There are still "journalists" out they're insulting us, the movement and our childishness. We've even been called "low" for using a child's organization which is just bizarre and ignorant. I feel good for supporting something truly good for society while defending something I love. I will post some of the epic speeches and lines when this whole ordeal is over. I hope we succeed!
Morales out.

Despite the controversy, in all honesty....
....The empty void that takes over you once you finish following Shepard to the very end. It's been a pleasure.
Fuck it hurts. It's like something in me died. I haven't blinked in 1 minute.

March 7, 2012- Reocmpleted ME2 on PC...
..Time to move on to the finale!
Preppin' Beasting Shepard references for Mass Effect 3 because there is currently a face import bug that won't allow for face importing from Mass Effect 2.

March 6, 2012- MASS EFFECT 3 COMES OUT TODAYYY!!!!
But before that, I can't forget my pic of the day. This was a seed for an aquarium plant that I bought in the US when we went there like over 3 months ago. I can't believe it but it finally started growing out of nowhere. I thought it was a dud. Hope it grows strong and healthy.
Anyways.....ME3 got a 94 on Metacritic with 24 reviews. Awesome.
Gonna finish up ME2 on PC because I never completed it there, just on the PS3. Gotta make my choices and more importantly, pick my wifey. There's no doubt as to who is the hottest in the series ;)
Best part is, I don't need Origins to play ME3 so I can easily arrrr on that matey, catch my drift?

March 3, 2012- Illustration Portfolio sub for Sheridan
Amongst the talk of sleep deprivation and phenomena I forgot to mention today was also the day I handed in my Sheridan Illustration portfolio.
The line was hell.
Try standing between an old Chinese lady who smelt like old cabbages and a couple of Chinese friends behind you, with one big fat obnoxious one conversing with said lady. Geeeeeez.

Sleep Paralysis, Semi-Lucid Dreams and Astral Projections..
The days have been busy as of late. I have been hustling and bustling to get work done for my portfolio, work that I probably should have done earlier to save myself from weariness. But alas, I convinced my foolish self to do these things under a lot of stress because I believed that I produce the best work under pressure. The inevitable result was my lack of sleep.
Last night was the second night I pretty much had to sleep late, only getting about 3-4 hours of sleep which I know doesn't sound as bad as I make it out to be. I mean there was 3 nights ago where I had zero sleep and I just easily made up for it by sleeping-in the next day.
Moving on.
I decided around close to 2pm today that I would take an extended nap. Irregular sleeping times have the possibility of triggering sleep paralysis. A phenomenon in which you are aware you are sleeping, but you can not move your body. I hate when this happens because, to put it bluntly, it scares the shit out of me. This didn't worry me so much because it's happened to me many times before.
Anyways I finally woke up and I was relieved. I got up on the computer and started typing. I thought to myself, "I still feel woozy, better not fall asleep on the table. You don't wanna trigger that sleep paralysis again." But then I realized, that was a part of the sleep paralysis trick. I was still sleeping and it was just a segment of the dream. I had then come to the conclusion that I was in some sort of semi-lucid/sleep paralysis limbo as after that computer incident, I found myself again conscious in bed and unable to move. From this point on I had a few occurrences of "waking up" and finding myself in the same spot I was in before.
This is where things started to get eerie.
I was pondering on the idea of seeing my body sleeping while floating which is widely known as astral projection. So I was thinking about it really hard and it happened. I felt lighter and I started to lift above my body, to the point where I was starting to see myself sleeping clearly and the white noise in my ear started to completely mute out. This was the most surreal experience I have ever felt. And yet, it felt so real. At this point I panicked and just wanted to return to my body, which happened really quickly. Things started running rapidly in my mind, the phrase sticking out the most being, "What in the fuck was that?!" That's when it hit me: I experienced astral projection for the first time.
By then, I just wanted to leave. I wanted to return to reality, or at least reality in the most conventional and familiar sense. But whatever kept me there, didn't allow me to leave just yet.
I tried to force myself awake so I jumped out of my bed to get to the door exiting out of my room. The door was not fully shut and there was a sliver of space that I was able to peek through. Everything looked normal. The TV was there, the couches. I approached the door knob and proceeded to slowly open the door. As I attempted to leave, everything visible started to fade into some weird beige-ish white. I move backwards and return the door to its original position and everything returned to normal. I tried going out again but really fast this time and looking to my left. I see my sister with her back turned to me sitting on a stool staring into our aquarium rather closely, my mom in the distance but without a face. After a very short moment, everything started to fade again. I waited to see what would happen and everything just eventually faded into a white void, this vast space. To best describe it, it was akin to the limitless expansive space that the hyperbolic time chamber had in the Dragon Ball series.
I found this whole trip to be fascinating and a part of me would like to visit again and explore some more. On the other hand though, I was utterly terrified by the experience. Could it really be that I experienced my soul leaving my body for a short period of time? Did my conscious self tap into some other dimension or world that is unbeknownst t us? I don't know. But the fear of the unknown sure as hell is keeping me away.
Suddenly the movie Insidious becomes terrifying.
