I'm a sucker for rank.

Game developers, take note. If you want to get me to play a game and play it for a long time, include unlockable ranks.

Maybe it's because I grew up in a military family and I had military aspirations until said aspirations were dashed at Richmond MEPS thanks to a civvie doctor who was late for his tee time (a rant I'll discuss at a later date), but give me the ability to earn a military style rank and I'll jump on it like stink on shi.. err... poop - despite the fact that they're damned meaningless.

H3 Believe Ad Music

Last night for the umpteenth time I saw the Halo 3 Believe Diorama ad and, also for the umpteenth time, I thought, "I wonder what the music is and if it's an O'Donnell original piece."

Retrospective (A downtrodden post.)

One of my high school-era friends is getting married this Friday. Such an event always makes me stop and think about the past few years and, inevitably, I get rather downtrodden when I think about them. The thing I keep coming back to is 'Wow, life sure didn't turn out like I had hoped it would.' I know that probably sounds trite, and we all could probably say that, but sometimes I just wonder where things went horribly awry.

My thanks.

I'd like to say thanks to all who responded with positive comments about my ordeal with Trigger. He is no longer with us - he died in my hands on the way to the Vet's office this morning - so I take comfort in knowing he's no longer suffering. Thanks, again, to everyone who posted with their support.

Life moves on, I guess.
We all cope with death differently, and here's my attempt to cope, and pay homage to my boy, hokey as it may be.

For Posterity: Trigger Update 3, Probably Last.

This will likely be my last update for my ailing pet rat, Trigger. I post it only to bring the whole ordeal to conclusion for anyone who may have read the original post and the subsequent updates.
