I really don’t know how to date these entries. We’ll see how long it takes me to no longer write “day n”. Well; I’m making some subtle moves into completing my childhood dream of becoming a video game developer. Two nights ago, I came up with a rough plan, I’m hosting that document on Google Docs, and last night I did some more research. I’m reading this article from GameDev.net on Game Programming Beginners Guide, and luckily for me, they are suggesting C/C++. I really wished they’d suggest that language. It was the first system-level programming language I learned and I really have some kind of loyalty to it.

What a day! Today we had a small birthday party for Alexander, our 4-year-old son. His birthday was during the week, so we threw something together and invited some friends over. It was a good event, but very tiring. At the end of it, my wife and I were on our last leg.  Alex is really maturing and I’ve been enjoying him more for the past two weeks or so. He still has a temper, but when he’s not in “Hulk-smash” mode, he’s a great kid! My wife works really hard with him on rationalizing things so that forces me to do the same – it’s hard work thinking things out!

Right now, he’s into Star Wars (clone wars era) and Spiderman. So; we got him those kind of toys. I have some pictures posted on Flickr, but I have more to upload. Happy Birthday, son!

My bro sent me this link from Gametrailers. Only through music could Yoda show us just how cool he is… no matter how many padawans he’s trained.

Since I don’t have a guild of authors contributing to this site… no one’s really gonna write this very EPIC entry.  So; I thought I’d do it.  Nothing says “vanity” like plastering “Happy Birthday” on your own blog. Well; the main point is I’m kind of doing this as my “historical documents” [Galaxy Quest reference].  Today, May 6, 2009, I am thirty years of age… and boy have I been through the wringer!  It’s mainly due to my personality type… A lot has happen, good and bad, but overall I’m very happy with where I am in life and the achievements I have.

How do I start this off?  My son and I are having a Star Wars weekend.  He’s grown very fond of Star Wars: Battlefront II for the Xbox and at the age of three I’m watching anything Star Wars related.  He seems to like it, especially the clone army and/or Stormtroopers.  So; Friday night I watched Star Wars: Clone Wars the movie.  I bought it from Columbia House.  Saturday morning, after breakfast he watched SW:CW too.  Then we all watched some cartoons and Seaseme Street, then it was on to Battlefront II.

Besides that, my wife purchased the two pack DVD set of Star Wars — episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 from Walmart online.  We also got Alex a Clone Trooper outfit (helmet and blaster rifle).  It’s a Star Wars weekend, no doubt!

Oh my friggin’ Hare Krishna!  I’m in the 3rd day of my 14-day trial with Stars Wars Galaxy (SWG) and I just saw some footage of the new Star Wars: The Old Republic MMORPG from BioWare and LucasArts.  I’m a Star Wars fanatic (with certain restraints, of course) and this new MMO looks like it will be the next biggest SCI-FI game to come.  SWG looks way outdated and the only reason why I’m playing is to get my “fix” of the Star Wars universe.  I normally play World of Warcraft, but if I can only (responsibily) pay for one MMO per month, it will certainly be SWTOR.
