2012 and Bastion

This one's from a game called Bastion. The game is awesome and its soundtrack is even better. A whole album-full of good pieces of music.

There are a couple of new things going on in my life. The most noteworthy is probably the fact that I got myself dental braces. I wasn't really happy with my teeth so now I have a chance to get them looking less weird. It is, in fact, pretty painful at first, but I'm kind of used to the constant headache now already. The washing is annoying as hell, but also livable.

Of course it's a whole new year now - 2012 - and happy new year then, I guess. Not much changed for me with the coming of this year. Only now I must remember to write the correct year whenever I'm writing the date on something. Beyond that, everything's the same.

School's really stressful and somewhat annoying. Got to do a lot of studying to get rid of all the debts that have accumulated. But I'll manage, since I have awesome friends who motivate me more than anything else does.

Now, since I'm a quite big gamer, I decided to talk about the games that I play and update you on my newest discoveries and emotions, and maybe do a bit of reviewing.

As you may have already figured out, I have recently had the pleasure of playing Bastion.

It's an action-adventure game. Its most noteworthy aspects are the storytelling, the soundtrack and the art design. The storytelling mechanic in this game is a brilliant idea. One of the side characters is the narrator. He comments on every move the main character makes, and it's both amusing and useful.

The narrator has this smooth southern US accent, which gives you this smooth bad-ass feeling. The art design is pretty cartoony, but the whole theme of the game and the style of the gameplay doesn't even hint in the slightest that the game is a kids' cartoon. Now the gameplay is fairly easy and very thrilling. The constant narrating gives you something to listen to when there are no enemies around, but when the fighting starts, then the real fun begins. The fighting is quite fast-paced and let's you choose your own style of combat. You can use guns or a huge hammer or a machete or maybe a bow, if you'd prefer that.

The weapons are customizable and you can pretty much adjust everything about your character to your own preference. The graphics aren't at all demanding so you can play it on even the most low-end PC's.

I think that's quite enough of games for one post.

I hope I'll be posting more often in the future, but until then - enjoy life.

Christmas time

Those are just the two most awesome presents I got. The Aperture Laboratories T-shirt is from my brother. My jaw dropped when I saw it, I love it. The book is from my mom. It seems really-really interesting. I'm going to read it, but probably not all at once. I have other stuff to do, too.

Enjoy your breaks.

Braindead

I'd love to live here for a couple of weeks, not leaving the room, only eating take-out. I'd love to get away for some time.

All images were taken from this awesome blog. Feel free to check it out. The blogger chick is also pretty awesome, so feel free to check her out, too.

There's also this cool lifestyle blog by my friend Stella. You'll find some good music there, find out what cool people do nowadays and probably see some cool pictures, and get outfit ideas I guess.

No writings from me today.

Bye-bye.

Just chillin'

I'm was just sitting here in Frens Cafe and thought I'd write something.
I recently celebrated my birthday and the party was pretty fun. It wasn't exactly as I'd have liked it to be since I didn't have all of my good friends there, but it was good enough I suppose. I got an awesome Star Wars T-shirt and other cool stuff, including money. But the present I liked the most was a bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey. I'm not an alcoholic or anything, but I enjoy good whiskey. It's one of the few types of alcoholic beverage I'm even willing to drink. I enjoy the taste, but almost never the feeling of drunkenness, which is why I seldom drink at all, and never to get drunk.
Back to the party now. It was a 20's themed party. The men looked exactly like I expected them to, but the women's outfits seemed a bit exaggerated. There were about 25 people there, I suppose. I'm never good at guessing the number of people at a given event. I'm always off by at least 10 people so there was probably +/- 25 people.

Well, it's fall once again and the days are pretty short and dark now. Winter and Christmas come soon and I'm actually looking forward to them. It's a time to be spent with good friends and family, and that's exactly what I'm planning on doing. I have some thoughts on what I want to do to make Christmas great for the people around me. I'm going to bake gingerbread cookies and be really friendly to everyone so that they can enjoy these dark times. I want to make that grey unwelcoming place called Koidula a bit better for my classmates even though I'm not really feeling a good vibe from them and I'd rather spend time with my Sütevaka classmates. FYI I'm going to see them today so that will brighten my day. I quite miss them actually, although I've known most of them only for a couple of months. And of course not only classmates - I have a lot of good friends there and I wish I could see them all more.

The only thing keeping me in Koidula is the education. I greatly enjoy physics and maths so I'm going to keep going there to educate myself in those subjects. Otherwise I would leave right away. Hell, I wouldn't have even gone there in the first place. People there are so judgmental and uptight, and so fixed in their own opinions and points of view. Of course I'm not talking about absolutely everyone, but in overall, that's the emotion and impression that school and most of its people still give me.

I've gone on long enough for one post. Sorry for the lack of images and music, but I'm using a horribly slow public network and am unable to upload any photos.

Have a good one.

The ol' switcharoo

Just a quick update on what's going on.
First of all I'm changing schools. Going from Sütevaka Humanitaargümnaasium to Koidula Gümnaasium. It's sad that I won't be able to see all of my good friends in Süte every day. Most of my best friends are there (but not the very best) - people who are very dear to me. On the other hand, in Koidula I'll get to study the things I want in a manner I want. There's physics and math which I can't do without. In addition to that there are better teachers (in my opinion). Today, my class sent me off with an extremely warm goodbye and that made my leaving that much more bearable.
Secondly, I've seriously taken up programming now. My bro's teaching me, or giving me directions at least. It's fascinating and I can't wait to write something myself. But first I need to learn a bit of theory.
Then there's the Ewert and the Two Dragons concert which was fucking awesome (pardon my French). Went to see it with a good friend and overall awesome person.
Anyway, keep doing what you're doing.

Have a good one.

Inspiration

Procrastination is one of the biggest problems I have. I delay things until the last minute all the time. I'm not actually complaining, because I haven't had any problems with it so far. Thus I have no reason to stop procrastinating, because I haven't learned any lessons about it being bad. Now that I think about it, it isn't actually a problem, maybe a potential problem, sure, but not a real problem at the moment. So I'm going to leave it at that.

On a side note, I decided that a post a month is suitable with my laziness level and I guess I'll be able to keep that schedule. So expect that in the future.

There's a lot of stuff going on. Seems I'm a real theater visitor now. I'll be going to the theater quite a lot in the near future. Also, I'm going to the Ewert and the Two Dragons concert with on of the coolestest (intentional) people I know. On the other hand there's some real interesting stuff going that I'm not going into detail about here. But be assured, it's intriguing and pretty deep on occasion (at least for me).

Life's a bitch. Just thought that needed saying. But I suppose everyone knows that already anyway. Just a reminder.

Uhmmmm... there's nothing reasonable coming from me anymore.
So whaddaya say we get to the unreasonable stuff.

Epic pictures. Love 'em.

Anyways. The thing is that I'm in fucking love, alright. And if anyone who isn't involved or I haven't involved myself asks me about it, I'm just going to: A) change the subject, B) keep perfectly still and silent or C) walk away. Immature you say? Well, here's a link to how many fucks I give: right here, click, I dare ya.

I think this is a good time to thank my best friend Stella for much needed advice, the occasional up of the cheering and some justified pushing. Thanks Stella :)

But what can I say about the girl? Well, she's everything I have ever looked for. Even considering the fact that I haven't been looking for any of the things that she is. So I guess she's everything I should have been looking for. Makes sense. I could write a couple-thousand word novel here about her, but that is definitely a thing that I'm not going to do.

Oh and one more thing - I think that the next couple of posts will not be very cheerful. Figure it out yourself why.

And I guess that's it.

Stay awesome.

O.

Yeah

OK, I'm back. Some people urged me to keep writing so that's what I'm going to do.

I seriously overestimate people. I believe that everyone who I meet is supposed to be a mature rational human being. I have been disappointed an immense amount of times by finding out that they're actually not. I believe it's because that's the kind of people I want to meet. I suppose it's normal to not always be having calm conversations and whatnot, and to sometimes want to do things that are considered childish. I personally refrain from doing stuff like that.

Saw it in my friend's blog. Isn't it awesome?!

My life's been pretty ordinary lately. My (still) new school is awesome. Some really great people there. The whole school is a big source of inspiration and boost to creativity. I have a couple of plans already beginning to take shape. Like going abroad as an exchange student for example. Also I have made some great new friends of people I didn't know were actually nice people. All in all, life is good in despite of some little setbacks that I'll probably get over.
I am going to tennis training again (I didn't have time in the summer for I had work) and I'm really enjoying it. Old friends and good people. Plus I love playing tennis. Also I'm in my school's choir which is kind of great. I am beginning to control my voice better and better, and I like singing.
I also have a lot more plans for this school-year that I want to accomplish. Like properly learning some basic programming language, getting better at playing the guitar and getting good grades at school. So far I've been on the right track for the last two, but I really need someone to help me get started with programming. I know my brother will help if I ask, so that's what I'll do.
Right now I'm sitting in Wine Piccadilly and will soon head to choir practice.

Also, would someone please teach me to jive! I just want to know how to dance jive so bad. But I don't really have time or the resources for a dancing school or teacher. And as I understand it, I just can't go somewhere and learn to jive. I have to learn a whole bunch of different dances, which wouldn't actually be bad, but I'm not that interested in dancing.

Anyway, enjoy your lives, 'cause I sure am.
Have a good one.

Loudness and the lack of it

The last week or so has been a terrific time. First was school camp which was simply awesome. The people were great and we had a blast doing all the shit we had to do. Plus, it was a great way to get to know my new classmates (most of whom are great, but I'll get to that in a moment). At camp each new high school student had their own "god" who basically were in total command. They gave us assignments like eating and drinking some seriously disgusting stuff and dancing or just laying down on their command. Basically what ever they wished. But on the contrary to what some might think, it was actually fun.
Now on to the class. My classmates are a bunch of talented and otherwise cool people. There are all kinds of musicians and athletes and dancers and whatnot. So far we've all gotten along pretty well. We have an ongoing plan to make our classroom a well-decorated place with couches and other furniture, posters and a speaker system. It's cool that the school lets us do stuff like that.

School itself has been... well... like school. Only that now we get to use our laptops. It's great fun actually and helps make school tolerable, if not more.

Right now I feel weird. I feel like if I deemed it necessary, I would beat someone up. I am not a violent person, but right now I feel like that if someone maybe insulted one of my friends or stole something from me or betrayed me, I would beat them up just to teach them a lesson. It is the most random and at the same time awful feeling, 'cause it actually solves nothing - the beating up, I mean. Nevertheless, I would kick someone's ass just for the sake of it.

I'd like to be there, thank you.

The problem is that I have nothing else to say.

Time to end this thing, boys and girls.
Adios.
O.

If you need lovin', oh baby I'll travel

I'll write something when I have anything to write.

Bees and cold air

The past couple of days have actually been pretty fun. The most noteworthy things is probably the fact that I went to a karaoke bar with one of my best friends and we just trolled some old Finnish people who kept singing these god-awful Finnish love songs. So yeah, we cracked up. Then we sang some Guns 'n' Roses and left the place.

Otherwise, my brother is home after a long period of ... not being at home, I guess. The talking doesn't seem to want to end now that he's here.

Today's my last day at work. And later I'm going to a concert by Singer Vinger. Hopefully it'll be good.

Think before you speak. Words have immense power. Keep that in mind.

O.

Your face, god dammit

I played a shitload of video games today and then went out with my friends and had a great time.

I mostly played Starcraft II, if you're interested, which I assume you're not. Then I went to town and taught my grandma about her computer. How to do some simple shit that she forgets. I'm like: "I told you this like two days ago - you need to press here to download this picture on your computer". She doesn't understand how to download a picture for god sake. Why did she get a computer anyway? It's not like it has helped her in any major way.
But anyway, my friends,we just walked around and trolled for some time and then went to Bumerang. I ate some cake that wasn't anything spectacular, but okay - whatever.

I don't have anything meaningful to write about. Like, who the fuck cares what I ate today or what time I woke up. I mean, even I don't care what I ate and when I woke up so why should you.
I was planning on going to training today, but I decided not to because there was a storm outside. Literally, a storm. Fascinating.

My attitude sucks, I know. It's awful (well, not really), but I don't give a fuck. I sometimes wonder what is the point of this blog. I wish I had some insightful answer to that question, but all I have is: "Because I say so".
I'm usually not a douchebag, just today. I'd apologize, but I honestly don't care.

I lately get irritated by totally pointless things. I'm usually pretty immune to trolling and I usually go along with it, but today I got annoyed by the most stupid things. Like, on FB there was this "friend" who posted a picture with text on it and it said something like this: "I'm the kind of girl who cares. I might not like you and not talk to you but I still care. I always will." And the thought that ran through my head was: "Who the fuck cares? Are you really that insecure that you feel the need to post something like that? I mean, your friends (the people who should care about that shit) should probably already know that and the rest of the people just don't care." It pissed me off for some reason. And then I saw this post on 9GAG that was of a question posted on YahooAnswers. Some asshole had written that Harry Potter was a ripoff of Twilight. And then he/she (the asshole) had written some incredibly inaccurate facts about Harry Potter. I just wanted to punch that dude. I was like: "What is the matter with you? How can you be that stupid. It's not humane. I hope you die." That's how angry I got.

Thank you and good night.
O.

Looks simply epic.

Won't get lost in your world

Well, a quick update on what's been going on. First of all, during the last two days I've had the utmost pleasure of spending a little time with my friends again. I really can't think of people who I want to be with more than my friends. I felt kind of bad for working so much that I didn't get to hang out with them, but I guess it's cool. We went on a boat trip the other day and, aside from me getting a bit seasick as usual, it was really fun. In addition to that, they came to see me at work, too, which was also nice.

After the boat trip we had a little get-together with the people from work and had a blast. I surprised my parents by notifying them that I wasn't going to be sleeping at home that night. It isn't very often that something like that happens so they were a bit surprised.

Today, I spent a nice morning all by myself. I just loved going to a cafe, getting some breakfast and watching people walk by, going to work or running their errands or whatever.

Other than those little highlights I haven't been doing much. Just work and home and chores - you know, the usual.

I'd just like to mention that the weather has been just fantastic lately. All the storms and rain and dark clouds - I am just loving this.

Oh, also I'd like to mention that basically every picture in this blog has been taken from good friend of mine's blog which is here. Thanks for having such a great eye when choosing pictures.

Now that the boring topics are covered I'd like to lay some thoughts of mine on the table. Or the screen, if you prefer.

But first some music:

Well, what I wanted to talk about was, well, basically, talking. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this here before (I'm pretty sure I have on numerous occasions) that I like to talk to interesting people about interesting subjects. Yeah, I'm sure I have brought this up before.

Anywho, where I'm getting at is that lately I've had the privilege of speaking to some really intelligent or in other cases really sweet people or even really annoying people. Basically, all kinds of people. And what I've realized is that not many people share my views on things. Well, sure, there are similar thoughts about the little things, but what I'm talking about here are the big world-affecting matters.

What I've realized is that so many people's reasoning is too simple, too closed-minded. As I see things, there's always like a million different angles to look at something and I always try to find as many as possible before engaging the thought further, but it appears that not everyone thinks that way. Selfishness and hypocrisy are the things that are stopping people from seeing. It's just another sad thing in the world that I personally can't do anything about. So no point in expanding on this any further. But hopefully you get my point.

I'm not a negative or pessimistic person, I think I'm more of a realist. So on the contrary to the kind-of-negative tone of my discussion above, I think that life is great and worth fully embracing.

Have a nice evening.

O.

Need you by my side

Well, gee. I've been working a lot. I mean, a lot. Today'll be my seventh day in a row and it can get a bit tough, but I'm alright. Tomorrow I'll rest. And then back to work the day after tomorrow.

The old "judging-a-book-by-its-cover"-saying has come up a lot lately and it got me thinking. For example, recently I have got to know this person a little bit. Before meeting her, judging by her friends and other factors, I would've thought (and I'm ashamed to say that I did a little bit) that she was a greatly unpleasant person. But then, to my surprise, I discovered that she is a nice person, unlike her friend by whom I judged her.
It's actually pretty awful how we judge people by their looks and other outside factors. I've recently found many great people whose looks are extravagant. It really doesn't matter. It's just sad that so many are unable to look past those things.

Oh how I would like to have a glass of whiskey and just sit at a bar and talk to some interesting person. But apparently that is kind of difficult for a number of reasons.

My name is Ottomar Vaga and have a good evening.
O.

Cool

That is pretty freaking awesome. Great place for a pool.

So he won't break

My new favorite band is The Black Keys. The best blues band I have heard. Loving their music right now. Not all of is that bluesy but it's all really great.

I'll write something more soon.

O.

All the cool stuff

Captain America - the coolest-looking superhero, in my opinion.

Which is better?

Old

Or

New

Thoughts

So listen to me, one, two, three.

Well, yeah. Not the best mood right now. I hope you forgive me and bear with me. Or not. Oh, and one more thing - you most probably won't understand what I'm exactly talking about and I will not be going into any details.

I would be fucking flattered if someone put this much effort into seeing me, if someone tried this hard. But of course it's not alright. There always has to be something wrong. I haven't done a single fucking thing wrong, but still there are problems. Well, I say to you a good old "Whatever". Do what you will.

For some reason I feel like staying home and not doing anything social. And that has been the case for the whole week. I have no idea as to what the reason(s) might be, and to be honest I don't care, either. I like home.

I hate mixed signals and people who are incapable of making up their minds or doing the things that they decide to do.

Yes, that and a lot more is what is on my mind tonight.

Emotions

The theme song of this year's Estonian Dance and Song Festival. I spent a week in Tallinn and danced. Most of the week was spent rehearsing, but when the actual festival began, the emotions were enormous. I for one loved it. I'm definitely doing that again.

We formed the map of Estonia.

We didn't sleep much during the whole week and partied. It was a lot of fun most of the time.
I made some great new friends from all over the country. People there were really great and friendly for it was a national patriotic event that brings Estonians together. I am definitely proud to be one myself.

In other news, I'm kind of not liking my job, to put it lightly. Long story short: I'm quitting. There a loads of other things I want to do for which I wouldn't have time if I had a job.

I have a lot of things on my mind. I plan to accomplish some things during this summer. I am going to spend time with friends and also alone. I'm not going to talk about my plans much, because I'm pretty sure that no-one is really all that interested.

I love the guitar, my friends and a lot of simple things.

I wish you all the best.
O.
