Tha Phreek by Korpz Phieding

I feel like a different person going into 2013. Instead of being unproductive I have evolved into someone who has projects for tangible needs. I was elated to receive a folding work bench, a battery-operated circular saw, and brackets for a couple of sawhorses. I have the things I need now to work on all sorts of things.
That topic lends itself to some interesting juxtapositions for me, some of which intersect with Twin. I have been explaining and drawing experience from things I did a long time ago – shop class in 6th and 7th grade, before other boys were advancing their own masculinity by emasculating other boys. I also took PET (Power, Energy and Technology) class in High School. I enjoyed working with wood, but thoroughly afraid of cutting off a finger or other severe bodily harm. I think about how my dad didn’t do any of this stuff. Then there is Twin’s dad who does all of this sort of stuff, a jack of all trades to me and a figure I aspire to be. Twin and I also recently talked about how kids get so excited for Christmas and it’s just not the same as an adult. We’ve tried to conceptualize how having children would enhance or otherwise affect holiday gatherings.
On the other hand, there is little Gemini Eyes still present; the guy who adapts to most situations – A person that effortlessly picks up on the emotional vibe of a room. I am still the little boy who can’t anticipate what irrational reaction his mommy might have. I am and will forever be (most likely) a person that is so airy my presence isn’t noteworthy.
Ahh… maybe not. I always wanted to get older. I thought of adults, especially elders as wise people that have an objective perspective on a full gambit of life experiences. I knew those same events would happen eventually for me too. Those experiences from life events would make me a wise person that could have a rational, informed opinion and openly debate actual outcomes versus hypothetical scenarios. I consider myself to be humble, or a synonymous word might be hubris – I’m still trying to figure out the meaning of that word (in context, not by definition). The minority of parents are like that, even elders. I just knew from a young age that was the type adult I could be and will probably turn out to be.

…By the way, that totally random subject loosely relates to the contents of this entry. The common thread is retrospective when explained further. That explaination is that DLion received an iPad yesterday. Him and LG were playing with the art app on there, and I used to be creative and create art so I asked if I could give it a shot. I have a Rock Band character I’ve been playing lately named "Korpz Phieding" who is a zombie-looking viking guitar player. While playing Munchkin yesterday, they were using the app for the game so each of us had a name. Off the cuff, I called myself "I am a Munchkin phreek. That’s freak with a PH. They laughed, then DLion spelled it out I added the "ee" instead of "ea." In the app I wanted to experiment and wrote out in what I consider "angry" or "slashing" calligraphy "Beet tha PHREEK by Korpz Phieding."
I watched this show, "Zombie Apocolpyse" on Discovery, what a complete waste of time watching psychotic fools. THE ZOMBIES ARE COMING! AHHHHHHHHHHHH….

it sounds like the first few paragraphs are really about the changes in your life. You just bought a house, soon there may be a family. It is the kind of limbo one goes through before life thoroughly changes. It is a good thing. At some point your own childhood will matter less when most of your energy goes to giving your own kids the kind of environment and support you didnt have as a child.

Happy new year.. and good luck with all those tools, i would not have a clue of what to do with them. thank god for your “how to” videos and books. best of luck

Ryn: Not sure what kind of car we want. It would be a plus if it was great in the snow and got good mpg. Any suggestions? I am so not a car person lol, I know nothing about them! I hope we’ll be able to get a car soon but I guess we’ll have to see how much our taxes are going to be and go from there based on what we can afford. I hate the thought of having a huge car payment though.

ryn: i like those names. we named our kitten Lily, so i can’t use that for a kiddo now, but i really love the name. I like feminine names for girls….so maybe Lucy or Grace or Lila, for boys we like Victor and I personally like Jamison, Indiana and Oscar….not so sure how D feels about those yet. haha. thankfully we still have time to decide. i think the true test (besides saying it with the last name and middle name) will be yelling it like you’re calling for your child or in a stern serious voice like you’re reprimanding them. haha.

ryn: Onyx is actually a cat, though funnily enough, he acts like a dog sometimes. 🙂

ryn: yes, we’re like yin and yang that way. He waits and waits and waits to do things and I do things quickly, i like action and getting things done so we can move on to the next thing! haha.

ryn: yes i totally get that. we tend to have similar fights on different subjects that all seem to have the same underlying feelings/issues. i just wish we could find a way to communicate better.
