"This is The End. My Only Friend, The End."

This is a bittersweet entry for me today. You see it is now time for me to say good-bye to Blogger and thusly this original blog. I am going to miss "The Cool Kids Call it a Blog," but I'm moving on to bigger and better things. Today I finished putting the final touches on my nuclearnuisance.net homepage and WordPress setup for my new blog ("Jeremy's Blog of Love".) I'm excited because I will be able to do more using WordPress than I was able to do with Blogger as well as creating and displaying more content than I have the ability to do right now.

So first off I want to thank you for following my little rants, raves, stories, and nearly constant mention of dead guinea pigs. I'm so happy and privileged to have as many followers as I do. Secondly I wish to invite you check out the new site at http://nuclearnuisance.net. It is a little rough around the corners right now, but I plan on working on it when I get some free time so that I can clean it up and make it more pretty.

Thank you for following my life, and I hope to see all of you at my new site.
Jeremy

This Post Goes out to Ryan

So I was hanging out with Ryan and B today (happy anniversary you two) and Ryan said to me, "Why aren't you posting on your blog anymore?" I gave him a lame excuse saying that I didn't think anyone was reading it, but apparently Ryan checks it like a bajillion times a day while at work How was I to know? The real reason is that I'm really close to getting this blog moved over to nuclearnuisance.net. Yeah, I won't have all the neato stuff in place, but I will have a better site that is my own.

So what has been going on in my life besides that? Well I beat Half-Life 1 on Tuesday. I was so proud of myself. It had taken quite awhile to get there and I finally did it. The game is awesome and that is even though its graphics aren't breath taking like modern games. I really enjoed it (and can easily see where Halo copies it and where it improves upon.) I'm currently working on the Blue Shift expansion for Half-Life 1. After that I may need to break down and get Half-Life 2 if I can afford it.

That's the other thing. Rita and I are taking a trip to London in September and I just looked at my credit card. I'm so po'. I need to curb my spending in a rather serious way if I'm going to be able to buy a house a year from now. I originally thought that I could afford a house with a yard and stuff, but now I'm thinking that I might need to settle on a townhouse or really nice condo since the housing prices are so insane. The thing that worries me though is that the housing bubble will burst and then I'll be stuck in a place with a loan that is over priced on a place I didn't want to live out the rest of my days in. I can see why many people are starting to prefer renting to buying right now.

Lastly, take a look at this post on The New Wisdom concerning free will. I am on the side for free will but I am quickly learning that almost everyone else on that thread is a computer programmer that likes to think everything is a program. So swing by and please give me a little support. Please. I'll be your best friend :)
