Dreams and Violence

So I went to see the new bond movie this friday (as I wrote in my previous post) and after that me and my friends had some beer and played some games until the early hours of the day. So I have been struggling to turn my day/night clock back to normal, hence get up around 8 am and go to sleep around 12 pm, well last night I had a very strange dream. I dreamt that I was in a fight with some bad guy and suddenly I had a gun in my hand so I fired one shot and hit him, but for some unaccountable reason I decided to start dreaming about my dad (I love my dad very much), and the dream sort of continues in slow motion, and when I see the bullet hitting the bad guy it is actually my dad that got hit.

Since my band is so strong with my father I started crying for what I had done, and I could hear myself weep, and then I woke up with tears running down from my cheek. I figured it was all a bad dream and decided to call my dad once I woke up again. The day goes by and I haven't called my dad, then something freakish happens. My dad pops up out of nowhere on msn and starts talking with me, woundering how I'm doing and so on. I pick up the phone and call him immediately, and so we talk about what's been happening so far in my life and about the trip I'm about to do with my baby brother to the states (all excited!).

We talk for about an hour and then I have to study so I tell him I have to study and he says that he is going downstairs to watch some tv, and so we hang up. After that I felt better, actually I felt alot better as soon as I heard his voice :) I think that the reacent playing of some violent games might have caused me to get in a fight in the first place, why my dad came in to the dream I have no clue. A well from one thing to the other, I just finished playing through Half-Life 2 (again!), and now I'm going to try out Half-Life 2: Episode One and see how that turns out, kinda excited since I love "never" ending stories or stories that after the real big action is done you can go a bit further and see how the aftermath of what you did turned out.

Now I'm off to bed since I have been awake for too long already, I have a written exam in the morning and I hate to get up early, since that is what I'm going to do I should have been asleep atleast around 10 pm. I'm supposed to wake up at 7 am, I'll probably snooze a couple of times and then run to scholl as always ;) Well well nighty then :)

Yours truly!

Movie and some gaming

Yaarrr there maties!

So I have had a fun day today, started with my alarmclock which I snoozed 2 times and the 3rd time I thought I snoozed I acctually turned it off, I was just going to sleep for another 5 more minutes (the time was 8.30 am when this occured), when I woke up again the time was 10.30 (I swear it felt like I had just slept for 5-10 more minutes. Anyhow I get up and rush off to the bathroom to get ready to go to school. When I came to school my lab partner was already there reading about the exam we are about to have on monday in Cisco CCNP1 (not too fun to read about but it's good knowledge). After lunch my lab partner decides that he is done for the week and goes home, so I finish reading what I have started and then I just didn't do very much.

"Time flies when you are having fun" they say, well the time got to 7.45 pm and I and some of my classmates are heading downtown to go see the new bond movie (Casino Royale), damn that movie was mighty good. I highly recommend it (well I am a bond fan after all) ;) When the movie is over we walk to the student pub and hade a few beers, then we went back up to our classroom and sat down to play some computergames. Did that until 4-5 am then we got tired and walked home. So now here I am, sitting here in my wounderful computer chair and typing this blogg. My eyelids are getting extreamly heavy so I think... no I don't think I'm going to hit the sack asap, so I guess I'll write a line or two tomorrow :)

Good night (or god morning since the time is 6.30 am now)!

X days and counting!

Soon soon very soon I'll be on a plane sipping (insert drink of choice here) and chillin', because when the plane lands it will be in Chicago (no rush it's just a lay-over), the next plane goes from Chicago to Seattle just 2 hours later, then when the plane lands me and my baby brother are going to meet our big brother since he is coming to pick us up. I'm looking forward to this trip every day, and every day I count down till the day I leave this rutten hole they call town (Skellefteå, Northern Sweden), the weather is great when it's great but at the moment the snow is melting since all of a sudden we got degrees above 0 and it rains too :(

It couldn't be better then to leave this all behind me when I go, I'm probably gonna smile all the way down to Stockholm :) And santa sent me his list of things my bigbrother wants and also what his wife wants so now I gotta go find the stuff they want. I can check 1 ½ things off of the list and that is 2 CD albums for his wife and 2 bottles of booze for him, I can also check the list of movies to their kids :)

From one thing to the other, been busy with school (although I don't really do very much right now) trying to get a grip on what I am supposed to do ;) also I have been busy trying out some new games that has arrived and those would be: Tom Clancys Splinter Cell Double Agent (sooo freakin' awsome graphics and gameplay) also Dark Messiah of Might and Magic (also very cool graphics and gameplay). I have decided to get through Double Agent first before I jump onto Dark Messiah, getting kinda divided otherwise ;)

Well soon time to hit the sack, have to be up early tomorrow (ooh how I hate to wake up early in the morning), to be in school for some network laboration. A well gonna play some games first ;)

C U around!

Blog this blog that

Yo whats up?

Been kinda busy lately with school, some heads-up on that. I am working on a project that is called Redundant Game Server (RGS) and it's going to be a lot of work, what will then come out of the end of the project, well it's going to be a server architecture for games (mostly) that will make the game server more reliable to play on. The simplest senario is this: The main server is up and running and the backup server as well, then suddenly the main server dies of maybe some cable error, then the backup server will take over with little to no notice in the client. We are working on a license problem we have with Atari atm, the cause is that we are using a very old game that is open source but the graphics is from the original game so we have to get permission to use the graphics from Atari (which by the way takes forever to answer). Enough about that.

More heads-up, me and my baby brother are heading to the states this christmas (yaye :D) to visit our big brother and his family. I'm so excited that I can't wait until we get on the plane and head right over to the states. I haven't been outside of Sweden for 3 years now and it's kinda getting on my nervs. Ooh and I was at a LAN-party this weekend (small as hell, about 80 participants) and I had my computer there (ofcurse!) but my computer screen went flickering, I could use it through out the LAN-party but when I got back home it was all messed up so I decided to buy me a new one. Which I haven't done in years, I found this great TFT/LCD screen at a local shop for only $357. The screen that I have atm is a 21 inch CRT (regular fat screen). I am expecting the delivery tomorrow, so that is also getting me all excited.

Well don't have time to blog more today, hopefully I will get back and blog soon enough.

"So long and thanks for all the fish!"
