Its been a while....

Well...I have really not been around here much so I guess I will talk about something.  I am still enjoying the solitude that is my new demeanor.  I have been playing more games offline than on and that is fine with me.  I am currently hooked on The Show and Hot Shots Golf on the PS3.  I am also playing through the old Metal Gear Solids to get ready for the next one.  I never played 2 or 3 and always wanted to so this is a good time I guess.  I still play Rock Band on 360 every now and again.  I just picked up RB6V2 and played that for about a half hour.  On the PSP front I am playing God of War and on the DS is Ninja Gaiden.  So I guess I really have a full plate as far as games go.  I got the COD4 map pack for free from the local Game Stop which was nice.  Still haven't played them though.  That is enough about games.

I am really digging my classes this term in school.  I am taking a 3D animation class and learning 3D Max.  I really enjoy it and I think I am getting the hang of it.  I will post some pics up here someday when I get in the mood.  I really don't show my stuff off a great deal yet.  I am also taking a Character Development class.  This is really opening my eyes to the psychology behind developing a deeper character.  I am about a third through the term and I am getting As in both classes.

On the marriage front things are really good right now.  We have made a great deal of progress and I really feel good about where we are going.  We are back to the point where it is fun to be around each other.  This is something that was lost for a great deal of time.  We are even gaming every now again.  We are working through Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga on PS3 and Rock Band on 360.

As far as the whole bipolar thing goes, I am at the current dose of meds that the doc wants me at.  It is 1/4 of the max dose and I guess this is really the jumping off point to see where my dose goes from here.  I think that it will go up again in the near future.  The doc said that guy my size (6'5'' 255lbs) needs bigger doses.  So who knows.  So far my thoughts have slowed down and, as the doc the predicted, my panic has really toned down.  I feel to be more on an even keel and hope this continues.  The next step is to learn my triggers and manage both the highs and lows.  Currently, I am having trouble managing the highs.  Ain't that some shit?

Anyway, that is enough ramblings.  I am going to continue to watch my 360 collect dust and wondering how the pecking order in my house is now PS3 then Wii then 360.  Maybe I am more fucked up than I realize.  Just kidding....later.
