Is it sad that I compare things like my daughter getting teeth to when Iowyn, my hunter graduated from leather to mail? Or her slow crawling being akin to getting travel from when I dinged 30 on Hio?
(Yes I said 30! I've been playing for a while, and back then, travel form came at 30, and you didn't get the 60% mount until you dinged 40. It made Stranglethorn Vale a wonderful pita, one that I avoided as much as I could once I learned about placed like Arathi, Southshore, and any other place than STV. Oh, and back then, Dustwallow had no goblin town, nor haunting spirits. it was just a marsh full of spiders and alligators. There was even less reason to go to Dustwallow then than there is now).
Is it weird that I think I can go fishing and catch fish within 15 seconds of my cast? That I have no inclination to even make lunch for myself between running heroics, However I'll spend 30 minutes fishing so I can have enough dragonfin filet for the food buff?
These thoughts tell me I love WoW too much. Ask my wife what she thinks of my fickle Azerothian mistress, but watch out for the venom spray (Unless you happen to have a cleansing totem put down already). But she puts up with it because she loves me and knows that I love her. but I also love WoW. Thank the light for my wife :-)

In the Beginning
In the Beginning...there was an empty blog. And Furbs siad "Let there be words". But nothing happened. So he typed them himself and grumbled about it.
First Post. What to write here?
I plan to use this blog to track some of my exploits in Azeroth, And sometimes, some real life content (heretofore known as RL) should creep in once in a while. So here we go.
One of the things I've been really focusing on as of late is balancing WoW and RL. My daughter just turned 1 last week. Needless to say its been an eventful last couple years for me. I met Kate in 2004 and we pretty much clicked right away. And not in a right-click left-click PC kind of way. I mean in a Mac one button does it all quite intuitively kind of way. We were living together in 2005, engaged in 2006, married in 2007, had our daughter in 2008, and have been together 5 years as of 2009. At first glance, this seems like a linear progression. (Much like leveling to 80 does when a newb sits at the character creation screen after watching his level 80 buddy melt face on all those level 2 kobolds in Northshire Valley with beautiful pyroblasts and bouncing arcane novas of death). However, in looking back, this has been anything but linear. Gear resets, new stats, expansions have all become commonplace in both RL and in WoW.
