I'd forgotten about this blog...

As usual I start a blog site with all good intentions and plans and so on and once again I put it to the back of my mind after losing all desire to sit here and blog about nothing at all. Well I'm back. After seeing my other half blogging away on her's I felt suitably prompted to swing by my own blogspot and make an attempt to revive it.

So, I'm not going to post a full blog now, instead I'll leave it at a brief preview of what's coming up. It'll mainly be thoughts and observations surrounding my life and people in it, hobbies etc as I have changes coming sometime and not chances I'm welcoming.

Well I'll leave it at that for now...

Kirk out.

Mysteries and Frustrations

Monday does have a habit of sneaking up, doesn't it? Not only that but where did Christmas go? That was one extremely quick festive season. So I'm sitting here still slightly baffled as to where that mysterious 6GB appeared from on my laptop's C: drive. 6GB....that's no small amount to just appear. Mysticious...that's what it is!

It seems my idea on the tabard change for the WoW Guild failed by epic proportions. A combination of people saying they didn't like the idea and people running a guilt trip approach has ensured that blood drop design will remain, at least for now. In some (maybe slightly immature) response I washed my hands on my own Guild's tabard last night and outright refused to wear one. I have five others so a tabard shortage is not something I have. My Guild second-in-command, Roth, has agreed to follow my direction and removed his too. It's nice I am getting some support in this Guild. It's not all against me though, Nelli (the character of my good lady) has backed me, as have a few of the members, however the ones who have objected are too higher ranked to be ignored. Still....time will tell.

So, 2009 is supposed to be my year of change! I have set myself goals I want to reach and I'll tell you a bit about them. I don't really want to use the term "New year's resolutions" because no-one keeps those. Hell, they are usually broken inside the first few days of the year! My goals are to establish my own style somewhat. I've been growing my hair now so a year (next month) and it has some good length but because it was grown from being shaved the back is a bit longer than the rest. A mullet I hear you say? Well not quite - thankfully when my hair hits a certain length it curls and that's what the back has done so it looks quite in proportion. Regardless of that I want it a bit longer, then cut into a shape of some description and then continued to grow. It's gonna look good! My facial hair is something, those who know me will know, has come and gone in different shapes and variations more times than I care to remember. This year I aim to create a different shape instead of the usual line down my chin, or chin-strap style beard etc. I stood there on New Year's Eve ready to shave it in and was completely clueless so I need to be coming up with some creative ideas there! What else? Oh yes my weight and the vegetarianism. My weight has gone up a bit during 2008 mainly due to my body being too inactive. Being unemployed does that to you sadly. This year will change! I aim to bug every employment agency until they are sick of the sight of me and I am working - I aim to shed the excess body fat I gathered and I aim to be firmer on myself with the diet! My girlfriend and I have been living the vegetarian life for a couple of months now but I have been terrible, slipping all too often and eating meat. It should be said it was my lady's decision to go veggie and my decision to support her so I think that's where I have been going wrong and gobbling down the meat on occasion. Where she has the belief and the sadness of what happens to the animals, I don't but I aim to change that. It's hard....very hard but regardless of that I must try! I'll keep you all updated! I've lost 7KG with the veggie life so far so it's not all bad!

Right I'm out of verbal waffle for now. Until later, allonsy!

Hello!

For those who know me know I'm a big Doctor Who and yesterday the BBC finally announced who would be stepping into the rather large shoes to be left by 10th Doctor, David Tennant. The actor in question was 26 year old Matt Smith who in my eyes is an unknown. I saw him in The Ruby in the Shadow over the Christmas period but his part in that didn't really leave a striking impression on me. Saying that though his part was barely big enough for me to really notice him though. We have four specials through 2009 to say bye to the best Doctor they've had before the 2010 regeneration into Matt Smith's 11th Doctor. We'll see how he does and how he looks.

So on to business, Brood Business I think. I have proposed through my Guild's website, a change in the tabard - a proposal which has basically gone down like a fart in a spacesuit it seems but as I look at it, I've grown to not like the current design. As much as, yes, the design fits the Guild and was created as a result of suggestions from those members present at the "birth" of the Guild, I've grown to not really think much of the icon and how it looks. I love what it represents but just not how it looks.

I've posted a forum entry to open the discussion about the change and even ten tabard designs for the Guildies to look through and voice their opinions on. Watch this space for updates and my thoughts.

I'll post again later on as I have some movie related chit chat to report so until then, stay classy!

A welcome introduction.

Hi, welcome to my new Blogspot page. This is the second Blogspot I've attempted, the first having died a death due to my overall lack of interest in continuing with it and thusly forgetting the password and not caring enough to recover it. This one shall be more successful ... I hope!

So, a welcome - done. An introduction - Hello! I'm Seph, or Mac, or in full my name is Sephio Mac-an-Rothaich and that's a giant mouthful so you may know me as the previously mentioned Seph or Mac. I'm a 29 year old Scotsman looking to waste more of his not-so-precious time with the likes of blogging. There will be a few "segments" to each of my blogs, some not necessarily appearing every blog but they will be there nontheless. The segments will be about my turn towards the path of vegetarianism, my actions etc in World of Warcraft (or WoW for those who know) - I have my own active and awesome Guild on there so will be discussing some Guildy-WoW stuff on here. I'm also a huge movie fan and have been for so many years. C'mon...who doesn't love to sit back and watch a good movie?! I'll also be reviewing the movies I've recently watched and mentioning what I have coming up to watch and then there is the final segment - the good ol' WWE. Yes...the wrestling. Yes...I know it's fake. Yes...I'm old enough to know better but I love it! Scripted finishes? Yes of course, the WWE is basically a soap opera for guys! Of course some of the moves are so fake it's sometimes painful and cringeworthy to watch but there are some guys out there who hit and take some powerful and acrobatic moves that still make for the occasional "ooh" followed by the "ahh"'s then finished with a "shiiiiit, that had to hurt!" (Mixed, of course, with quite a few "Oh crap I hate that guy!)

I've come up with witty titles of each of the segments so I'll run those passed you now. The WoW talk will be titled "Brood Business". The Vegetarian talk will simply be titled "Veggie Update". The WWE talk titled "Over The Top Rope" (after my favourite WWE PPV the Royal Rumble) and the movie reviews will be called "Movie Reviews"... I had nothing witty for that!

Well my chips are almost ready so I'm going to head off and eat those while I sit back and continue watching the film I had to pause a wee while ago and I'll come back here later with a proper start to the blogging.

Til then...be jealous!
