A Free Knight

BLM:75 WHM:75 SMN:47 THF:75 WAR:69 RNG:44 DRK:23

Ya you all know him, the Batman would make you think that he is all against the criminals that murdered his parents and that justice rules all but that doesn't always coincide with the law, so where does that leave you, history's fabled vigilante, the walker of paths illgotten, the purveyor of souls unbidded, the economy priest?

Will you save the world?

Well it doesn't make you very popular and by the way it doesn't make you many friends. I have love for everyone I have ever met but does that love get me anything in return? No. I continue to be somewhat alienated, somewhat coddled, somewhat untrustworthy.
/../
Do I trust anyone?

In the game, as in many circles I currently travel in, I am alone. I find solace in the fact that I don't have too much time left to lead by example even to my would be child. Were it that I had a child, I perhaps would tell him to embrace the world with arms wide open, but I don't have one. My hope is though that I will have many children one day even if I am past my prime. I find those usual stat differentials hitting me like they do to your character in AD&D when you get older. -1 STR -1 DEX +1 INT +2 WIS. Don't you think so?

My mind is on my WAR now but I can't help wishing he would get there already cuz I wanna level my DRK. I feel that DRK is what I am now but I need to get my tank up to speed so that I can hurry up and start my own ls with my WAR/NIN tank. Don't ask me how I am going to tank with /THF tho. I kind of hope to do it with /WHM but my WAR is such a bastard and he reminds me so much of me in real life, that I keep on playing him just to spite the world. He is not so bad after all but he ain't the best. And if he had his GAX leveled he would be great. But that's perhaps the part of me I never leveled. My best weapon, my bullshit skill. In Braveheart, the old man's brother Argyle tells William that first he must level his wit before he levels his sword, A Great Axe is perhaps the hardest weapon to actually use in rl and so it is to use it effectively that you must learn to time your blows on foes that don't expect to get hit. You can imagine using a two-handed heavy blade against anything else and you would honestly have to be 3 times the size of your foe to land one good hit and not go down. And that is what I mean by using your wit in convo against other men. They often size you up and potshot you until like you are going to have to fight everybody in the bar to speak to that beautiful woman but you actually need is to use your wit to time your blows and make them own up to their unsportsmanlike conduct. If you let them affect you, that's when you lose cuz noone mad is very sexy. That's what people keep telling me at work too, to just ignore the blows and try not to get mad but it doesn't work for me. I am a simple man. A man of no small talent mind you but still innocent compared to the throng of hawks that roam the barscene. Right about now some girl is reading this and thinking all I need is a chance and I'm telling ya, if I smell pity, you are OUT.

Meh, another day in the life of the WAR/THF or /coward. Is there something worth fighting for when it comes to women? And what good example would I be setting there?

Hohito is happy really

BLM:75 WHM:75 SMN:47 THF:75 WAR:68 RNG:44

I have perhaps done my last bid at poker for a while. I partied a little too hard last time and now it's got me wondering how much I can trust my friends. Some friends DO let friends drive drunk and that's the ones you better not have too close to ya when you're in a jam.

I am getting my WAR up there in levels and I was just now able to buy him a Byrnie. Since I plan to use him as a tank I don't want a lot of -evasion stats in the gear. It's my opinion that with a WHM using Flash to stun during recasts, the WAR/NIN is a superior tank even over a NIN when with enough evasion measured in. Now the only problem is deciding which weapons would be best. I am guessing dual Macuahitls for their +enmity.

At work some new women are in the group and I am really relieved to see that people are starting to leave me alone. I am even starting to get my stats above average and such. I am currently trying to figure out how to spend the rest of the days off I have this year and that's sort of fun.
../
It's funny but every now and then I think of women but don't really like one in particular. It's funny not to have that fantasy girl-wants-me feeling like I used to have. I honestly don't LIKE like any particular woman and that's sort of weird.

Maybe I am old.
