It is often I am confronted with a quandary in the nascent state of things, however they are usually small and easily fixable. this is six years in the making, and now my friends, I am placed in dire straits.
What do I name my hard drives!?!?
Back when I was a one-drive chump, I just gave it a name. Names are given to singular entities all the time, so it was no biggie. Then, a second hard drive came along! I was deep within playing Final Fantasy Tactics, and a chapter title stood out in my mind which is reminiscent of drive classification [master or slave], so I named them after chapter two: Manipulator and Subservient. With three, I’m sure I named them something related to a group of three, I don’t quite remember, however with four, I named them after the three musketeers: Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D’Artagnan. I thought it was clever.
Then six came along. I thought long and hard, and decided on naming them after the quarks: Up, Down, Charm, Strange, Top and Bottom.
But now with seven… oh it’s too easy to be cliche about it. Funny thing, though, as I was typing out this post, I got sidetracked in the middle of doing so, and returned to this. As I resumed, I thought of the names for my seven drives: the Seven Words of Power from Stephen R. Donaldson’s epic novel series: The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant I, II and the Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. He needs to finish that series already!

Is such an idea really “wrong”?
As I can be heard saying on occasion: I am an amoral creature. I don’t believe in doing things because they’re “right”, or not doing things because they’re “wrong”. Those don’t cut it as reasons to this Hashi.
As I’m sure many of you know, I’ve taken quite a liking to my Philosophy courses, and so it has given me a lot to think about [and a lot to hold onto steadfastly]. My Ethics course has taught me that a lot of, well, just about everything is useless and devoid of anything sensical.
Like morality.
I do nice things for people because it makes me feel good. I help those who need help because being witness to something happening to another which is causing pain causes me pain as well [pain, in this sense, being just a negative feeling, not necessarily physical pain]. This is not morality. This is the pursuit of happiness.
Sometimes however I do not do that which is considered ‘good’. Sometimes if someone were to cause someone pain, and that someone is close to me, then to create a greater pain in the original causer of pain would be how I would go about things, before doing some lessening of pains. I’m not increasing the overall happiness [except for maybe the satisfaction I get from exacting this vengeance, and perhaps an increase in happiness in relation to the new pain that was inflicted] but it is exacting punishment, and some who call themselves moral may agree.
But what about pre-emptive vengeance? If I were to hurt you because you could do something to me horrible in the future, I’d just be covering all of my bases, then. It wouldn’t be completely out of line, because I’m sure the backlash received from the pre-emptive vengeance would be the action on which I pre-emptively exacted vengeance. Of course, many people who are ‘dumb’ would think that this is ridiculous and would be a perfect reason to go about senselessly causing pain to others all the time. Sure it is, however when the action which you took pre-emptive vengeance on occurs, you can’t vindicate it, since you’ve already done the vindication [i.e. your pre-emptive vengeance]. Most people wouldn’t understand that and THEN go about senselessly causing pain. I suppose only the incredibly intelligent people like myself could do such things with impunity.

I babysit, and one day I made these with the kids I babysat. Kimchee rolls and [canned] tuna rolls. :-p
Interesting flavor, and quite fun to make. I want to make some real ones one day.

I do this at work quite often. As you may know, I work with children, and they know I like drawing. Every once in a while, I draw ‘my version’ of their drawings. This is an example:
Their drawing:
My version:
I think its funny :-p

Top Hat Guy is a hero’s weapon. [All heroes, when declared so, have/obtain a weapon as their utility to save their home.] The THG himself is a weapon, a “more-than-sentient” one [as all weapons are sentient, THG himself is like a person rather than a supplement to a Hero's feelings. WARNING: super nerdy anime reference to come... In the anime Bleach, a shinigami's zanpaktou has a name and, essentially, some sort of consciousness, one which a shinigami needs to master or something akin to that. This is more of an intimate partnership than a conflict. THG requires no intimate partnership with 'his Hero', given his Hero's own nature.]
Lucrecia Rosehips, the one and only former Gun of Brixton was unparalleled in her abilities as a Gun, however, she was struck out from the order after missing a shot [she intentionally missed for reasons to be determined.] Given her prowess as a Gun, the other Guns [and ultimately, the rest of Brixton's forces] were unable to “involuntarily resign” her, as she was able to escape. Her secret: her gun is a weapon and she herself is a Hero. I’ve explained how Heroes are created, and since she does not fit the profile, having grown up in as a Brixtonian, then one can only guess as to how her sidearm came to be her weapon… perhaps, like UCX, it was a creation of man… O_o *queue eerie music*
One could find similarities in Music Girl’s father’s work and Lucrecia’s past, as could I. I’ll have to ruminate on that a bit. Lucrecia does not know this, as she only knows what it is to be a Gun [or, rather, to have been a Gun as she has been outcast from that elite order] so her own Heroism is unknown to her, at least for now.
THG is a wander, as I think I’ve mentioned before, but now I have a reason as to why: because he is a weapon. Weapons are not self-aware, however given his nature, he is quite more than simply a Hero’s weapon, but he is still but a weapon, so his self-awareness is slight, and in return, his motives are governed by his Hero’s need, i.e. he has an urge, a need, which grows and wanes with the needs of his Hero. I don’t feel like revealing his Hero yet, unless you want to help me write this comic! 
More to come

Oftentimes during my days, I have ideas on which I feel like waxing upon, only to realize that I’ve expunged whatever drive I had to write, be it through forgetfulness or weariness or plain ol’ simple laziness. The ideas are there, though, and they wriggle about through my mind like little ninjas, deftly avoiding whatever contact with my consciousness they can.
In any other case, however, I usually write when I have an idea while at the computer. No ideas follow, so I suppose I can give the usual: my day, reasons as to why I haven’t given out a post, etc.
My day was quite good. Today at work was ‘family fun night’. It looked like a ball and I was supposed to be involved however things changed last minute and I was able to leave on time. I got two free slices of pizza out of it.
I haven’t been drawing lately, so I haven’t been posting. I have been getting glimpses of inspiration here and there, so expect something… well, decent, in the near future.
Aside from that, I am eagerly awaiting school, so I can finish JC off. Also, I’m super sleepy and I have to stay up about an hour and a half more so I can complete my laundry. It’s 3:30 in the AM at the moment; I hate myself for staying up this late however when laundry beckons, it MUST be done so that I may actually be dressed in clean clothes. :-p
I’m painting my conga drum at work tomorrow. I’m quite excited about it. It will look GOOD, finally!… anyone care to purchase a conga drum!? I’m serious! Comment me if you want one! Name a price!
Now I am off to collect plastic bottles from my sister’s car. Good night everyone.
