Remember kiddies, poetry and question follow my boring ass journal. If you answer my question, feel free to ask one.
No I'm not up early, I'm still up late. With little to do other than kill time I find the times in which I sleep to be rather irrelevant though upsetting that I simply can't make myself settle in for an evening. I won't whine about it this time though I'm here to talk about other things. Let's start with this.

If you have time to kill and you're ok with doing nothing (i.e. you pass time by watching senseless youtube videos with no educational value anyway) then this might be for you. Most people can say they are at least semi familiar with what a video game is. If you can't, then this link is not for you. Of those who can discern how visual, audio, and interactive media come together to form a pastime you might be familiar with titles like Street Fighter, Tekken, Mortal Kombat, Soul Caliber, or Dead or Alive. Maybe you are aware of more stylized forms of this games such as Blazeblue, Skull Girls, Marvel vs Capcom, or the like. What these games have in common is a side scrolling fight to the death between two characters who without the selecting whim of the player, might never have a reason to combat each other but if all of this is over your head, I'd advise you search one of titles on youtube and get a feel for it. Back to this link. The basic pretense is two characters from any game, show, book, MS paint comic, or internet nightmare fuel. Are pinned against each other in fights to the death. Thing is, these characters can be from ANYWHERE. It looks as though it's some form of programmer cock-fighting to see which AI can best another. You as a registered member are given a fake currency (that requires no real money or personal information) to bet on these fights. Honestly, it's stupid and a huge time waste, but when the game you want to play is undergoing server maintenance and you're left with nothing to do, it's a neat thing to stumble upon. I'd recommend it if you need to kill some time.
I've picked up Elsword, a game I promised my very few friends that I would never play, in an attempt to bore myself of gaming and perhaps do more writing. More on this to come as my creative juices were still dead when it went down for maintenance hence the time wasting garbage I got tangled in as written above.
I'm contemplating taking up another martial arts. The job I was let go from really restricted the amount of free time I possessed and I had to quit the judo class I had been involved in. Once I'm working again I can think about utilizing some of what I expect to be free time and take up something though I'm considering something more meditative than Judo. Tai Chi is an available option, but I'm also thinking of pursuing a more European style. I came across a group that actually teaches sword martial arts. Not quite armored fighting but not quite fencing either. I'm not sure. It seemed different and therefore it caught my eye.
My last note for this time around is I've taken a stance in the fandom. I want the truth, don't care about helping others (though I'll try) and I don't care about hurting others (though I won't mean to). Specifically I want personal truth. I want everything to make sense in my head and be able to be on the same page as everyone else. My writing is about to be kicked into high gear and this is the informal warning that I mean business because it's not about you it's not about me, it's about truth.

Who's to speak of the wages of war
When death and decay are what we march toward
Can you instead consult the profit of truth
For the wages it pays is a hundred times more
From the most noble knight to the least noble knave
The truth can fill bellies for all of their days
Quo modo do we tame or even find truth
So that men can find peace and some can be saved
QOTD: When was the last time you said something you regretted?
