So I know I'm living in a fairy tail world right now because I'm sitting at the kitchen table with my cup of coffee and a doughnut hole with the intent to write a quick blog post. The odds of this happening are very low... lol But a girl can hope right?
Well I had been brainstorming possibly breaking my entries into sections Covering recipes, gaming, and family and odd opinions so I think that this will be the first post I will try this ! I think it might help me remember what I was actually going to write about so when I hop topics I'll label them this time :)
FOOOOOOOD
Why not start this dandy post with food?! I was inspired by @disneygirl85 on twitter to make some BBQ Chicken sandwiches for everyone and I am really glad I did. I am trying to start my meals ahead of time , in the evening so that I don't have to feel rushed the next day . This menu choice allowed me to slow cook the chicken in a baking pan with some apple cider vinegar , butter, and a bit of brown sugar to start. I chose to add some BBQ sauce later once the chicken started to loosen up . I slow cooked it at 200 degrees for 4 hours and then another hour the next day to get the juices flowing again. I made sure to cover the chicken with foil so it would not dry out. I can't get too crazy with spices with anything I cook because of our little ones and their sensitive taste buds, but apparently I can put ranch on anything and baby moon will eat it lol

GAMING
I haven't been playing Heroes of the storm as much as I have wanted too. I really wanted to get my hero to 20 sometime ago but I am only level 13. lol BUT I really enjoy myself every time I do get to play. JUST A REMINDER that anyone who hasn't played gets a free 7 day stim pack, today is the last day for that. That boosts your gold and your xp so you can level your heroes quickly and save enough gold to buy heroes with in game currency. I have shifted into really enjoy playing Li-Li. I am not a fan of playing support classes but I really love healing and DPSing with her . I hope to get better each time I get to play. :) I did get to have my mom join Azeroth this past week, and she is loving her experience so far. I check in with her every night to see what she has figured out for her self, this is entirely a new experience for her so I am jazzed about having her be able to share a hobby with my sister and I.

I also had a chance to catch the latest Final boss Twitch stream yesterday and while I was watching I had first thought, "Wow! What a great combination of guests!" They had Qleric, Alt- ternative Chat, Preach , Nobble, and Bellular. Each guest seemed to bring a different flavor to the stream potluck. Everything was going smoothe until the numbers proceeded to climb. The chat room filled up fast with ass-hats who were so trashy and ruthless. They started yelling "CASUAL!!!! STUPID CASUAL!!!" among other things I care not to post. To be honest, there were so many ban hammers coming down once the stream reached over 6000 viewers that every jack-hole that resides in the gutter of the internet seemed to slither into the chat room to bash whatever was said that they did not agree with. It made me think to how much World of Warcraft is divided into such a huge pie chart. Every slice detailing what the game means to everyone and the part they play in the larger scheme of things.
I thought of this because, here I am inviting my Mother into Azeroth knowing full and well that among the basic NPC's and Mobs we interact with and kill, are the Ass hats dressed in our factions gear waiting to attack you if you don't play like they do or value what they value. I could go on and on defending my fellow Dirty Casual's but I won't because the truth needs no defense to be true. I am the kind of player who keeps the home fires burning in Azeroth when all of the fair weather citizens unsub and sit on the bench scowling at everyone who is still enjoying the game. I have always looked at the problems the world has and broken them down into smaller pieces. Every thing I have ever complained about I can see on a world scale, a country scale, a state scale ,a work scale and a game scale. Different place same shit. Azeroth is no different.
I see it when people go about their day acting as though their degree makes them superior to someone who has not gone to college, or when someone compares their Jaguar to the Mini Van of their neighbor and makes fun of them. I see it with the house owner who looks down on a renter. There will always be different EVERYTHING. Not everyone can look the same, have the same , do the same or be the same or everything would hit a wall really fast and I feel the same about World of Warcraft. Each one of us are a special piece to the puzzle of the world and to Azeroth. Even though the different sectors may not understand where the other one is coming from ALL ARE NEEDED to make it possible. Even my totally noob mother who is level 5. She is just as important as a Mythic Raider. A Mythic Raider is just as important to the top pet collector who is just as important to the world PVP fanatic..The Blood Elf dancing on the mail box is just as important as the Guild leader who runs the latest mega guild.
All of us are an intricate part of the machine that is World of Warcraft and those who don't see it that way, well they are part of the puzzle too whether they like it or not, so they can suck it and have a nice day <3

Last words of the entry?
You guessed it folks, I did not get to finish my post this morning lol I got the first paragraph done and poof ! Time to make breakfast to for the troops.
I'm ironically finishing this entry to a "Run Wild" play list on spotify as I sit on my butt blogging.
Also, just as the graphic states at the top of the blog post, you don't have to do what everyone else is doing.
Play how you play regardless of the amount of criticism, the misunderstanding, the audience, expectations, the status quo, the fear, the prejudice...
JUST KEEP GOING IF YOU ARE HAPPY.
I always say,
"You did not come out of your moms va-jay-jay so someone else can dictate your life. It is your life, now go on and live it."
they have their life, let them go control their life, this is yours. This is your life and this is your game.

Nicely put. Some.people have all the time in the world to play and others only have a couple of hours a week but at the end of the day, both players $15 count the same.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Morrison! What you say is true, both $15 count the same :)
