Sleeping with the fishes and deciding my fate!

I am really stretching it with this animal thing... the linkage is tenuous at best. An attempt at humor perhaps, and not a good one. But, at least I have something more than the repetitive blah, blah that you can take to the blah, blahologist. If you get that reference then your vote counts for double when I tally the results for the poll that I am going to talk about later in this post that will determine the future of my FFXI and perhaps even the planet Earth! Intrigued? At least interested? Ok, fine, but I am still going to make you read the rest of the post first. And your sarcasm is not appreciated! *Hmmph* Yes, at this point I am inanely rambling on about nothing, with only a half-thought by me into the logical progression of this post or even logic at all. Lets just have you try to write interesting and inventive material for this blog every day for the rest of your life, ok? How do you think that would feel? Ok, so maybe a monkey with a bottle of Tequila can write more and more interesting material, but I am thinking if you had a monkey or a bottle of Tequila, let alone both, you would not be here right now reading this would you? Would you? Digging the italics today. Its emphasis without caps. Caps is too much anger for me, I am afraid of caps... they have squinty eyes... Italics are just right. So... having fun? No, I have not gotten into the Nyquil again, but I must say writing entries with a bottle of Nyquil is a laugh riot for me. :) I got to work early today. Thats pretty much impossible for me, so you get extra blog time, and I get to make you read all this yammer. I am probably losing your attention at this point, so in an attempt to reel you back into my web of treachery here is something FFXI related. Borin died last night, but *gasp* he wasn't the first or even the one that died the most often! But I do believe that Izman killed Borin by sheer force of will, you know I was going to screenshot Borin's comment to Izman after Iz cheered Borin eating a 1K+ Fang Rush, but it lacked the internal text log context to really be screenshottable, so I will just requote here, "Izman? I thought you loved me?" and that my friends, is why Borin wins so hard. Borin is the embodiment of wonderful bitter sarcasm, with a light flare of hating Omoi. Oh, fack, double fack, triple GOD DAMN FUCK! I don't have the picture... I actually HAD A PICTURE for the title of this post to make sense. It was awesome, fucking awesome, FUCKING AWESOME I TELL YOU! Izman, dead in Mamook, in a stream, underwater... you guessed it, WITH THE FUCKING FISHES. And now its gone, off in the nether ether of the net. It's vast and infinite, you know, the net that is... another reference that if you name in the comments will net you a double vote in the poll that I will present later in this very post. And yes, I know I admonished the use of caps because of their untrustworthiness and their unkempt hair, but I tell you, Izman was sleeping with them... the fishes... he was. ; ;

Did any of that have a point? No. Did you understand it? No. Are you going to keep reading this post? YES! (Evil, evil caps) And that is because of the amazing teaser that I tossed into the first line of today's post. But we are not there yet boys and girls, first, my day, or should I say night because I didn't get home until super late so I was only able to get in two more merits worth of XP. And that only netted me one increase in a stat, but at least it did serve some purpose. BAM! Counter rate increases by 1! Quick question for you life long MNK's out there, but does this increase the base counter rate for counterattack too? I love MNK, it punches so hard. The only major problem I have is that when I use meat I feel like my accuracy is just a touch below what I believe is optimal. For the first time since I started playing this game I am seriously considering a Peacock Charm. The utility is just higher with MNK that it is for my other jobs because either accuracy is not a concern (SAM, DRG, RNG), my set up demands sushi and I accept that (NIN) or my gear is just not favorable for a meat build (WAR) but now with MNK I feel it could be useful. I don't think I have the money to afford it right now, but hopefully Omoi would be interest in going halfsies with me on it. But when she normally goes mage to everything and I go DD, it is basically like asking of Omoi will pay for half of it to get me a present. LOL I know this is all going to backfire on me in amazing fashion when she asks me to go halfsies on a Manteel... orz. Well, if I DO get a Peacock Charm (more like when not if, just need to shift some more stuff to sell over to Ringzero and I will eventually be able to get it myself even if Omoi is feeling stingy [oh yeah, making friends with that comment, LOL]) it will even further improve my MNK and allow me to eat meat more often. These are just a few more tweaks for my MNK because honestly, I think my MNK is the best equipped job I have or at least on par with my NIN. This may be caused by the fact that MNK has next to no options for gear at endgame and outside of a Black Belt I have pretty much the rest of the bases covered.

Now, here is some lens flare, because lens flare is cool. Finally, as a show of my complete benevolence I will grant ye, oh reader of mien blog, the ability to choose my destiny. Ok, seriously, I still have no mage job leveled, and its time to start, so you get to pick my next job to 75! It has to be a mage job and it has to be one of these mage jobs: WHM, RDM, BLM, BRD. SMN is out, because the gear sucks and I am not gonna camp Shakigami Weapon, if I want to be a WHM I will just be a WHM. All votes MUST be submitted as a comment to THIS POST, don't send me an IM about it. I mean send me IM's all you want but not about your vote. If you get either of the references I mentioned earlier then you get to have your vote counted twice. I will post the results here a week from today. The fine print: Once the expansion comes out all bets are off, and if I want to be a hot dancer then I will be a hot dancer! Doesn't mean I wont finish the job, just means it might get back burnered, but you know I hate having jobs that aren't completed so I will still finish it. Gear limitation will not effect the forward movement of the job so its not like I am going to be all complainy about not having the gear to move forward. I will try to get at least an average of one level per day even if I don't get them on their respective days. Any questions just post them in the comments. All rules are mine and you better respect them, because without respect what do we have baby? What do we have? Latin jargon: Ipso facto, Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc, etc. etc. There was another one of those references that will net you a double vote. Good night, and good luck.
