The Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, The Sun and You

Ok here are 3 earthquakes at 3 different points in the Pacific in the last 2 days all 6.0 or above. We are looking at a great geological shift. Not only that but the first Chile Earthquake knocked earth off its axis which means the days are minutely shorter than they were.

Then yesterday in the Atlantic Ocean 26 foot waves killed 2 people and they do not know where they come from.

I think we are looking at some of the greatest changes the world has ever seen and it has happened in all of a few weeks starting with the Haiti quake a while back and even further the Indonesian quake that set off the tsunami that killed 200,000+ people.

The week of February 20-25th there was an very large magnetic filament that was there one minute and gone the next. Now if you have ever seen Coronal Mass Ejections this one was rather large. So it shows how our sun can influence our planet.http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/pickoftheweek/

Here are some real time images of the sun which shows a very active sun. In fact you see all the bright spots? Usually there are not as many as there are right now. If you look at the sun every now and then you would see a one or two of those bright spots that would be very small.

So in conclusion is our planet done being active? Not a chance it looks like it is ramping up and then it will probably settle back down. It just so happens we are in a very solar and geological time period. It does cost lives and mother nature is not going to back down but in this time period I would definately take note because I think there is much more to come.

Chronykle and 30,000+ Hours of MMO Gaming

I am Chronykle The Gamer. I have been playing MMO's for years and have a rough estimate of 30,000+ hours of gaming in my resume. I actually did not pay attention until this year but I wanted to start paying attention to it because I want it to be entered into the Guinness Book Of World Records as the gamer with most hours played in a lifetime. That is where I am at so far and still counting. I do anywhere from 10-24 hours a day and have done so since 2000. So far it is just an approximate but I can see myself hitting 100,000 hours over a lifetime. Plus I have thought about writing a book about my gaming and what it takes to be a successful long term gamer. Life has handed me alot lemons but it has also handed me alot of sweets so I have been reluctant to play so long where others have failed or gotten bored. But the greatest thing I have gotten out of all my gaming is the communities. I have never met greater people than gamers. To connect on an intimate gaming level is like having a best friend 2,000 miles away but yet sitting right next to you. It just so seems that I have found LOTRO to be a great game right now and I hope I get many more hours of fun with it. I have went by many names in my storied gaming career but the one that has stuck the most is Chronykle. I have had others like Nefio, Bighuurt, and Harleyred. But I usually go by Chronykle. I have played in games such as WoW, EQ1 and 2, SWG, City Of Heroes, STO and many many more. In fact I try to buy every MMO that comes out and test drive it. Then I usually have 1 main game and then a backup game for maintenance days for my main game. As of now LOTRO has been my main game for about 4-5 months and I am hoping many many more.

Looking outside and a new beginning.......

Coming to the door I feel the cool air coming from the top of the door. Knowing it is going to be cold is not going to feel good on my rough dry leathery hide. I grasp the door and pull in an instant I get blasted with the coldness. The water dripping off my head I had to take off my tunic. It felt as if the winter would not go away. The sun at high noon and knowing stepping outside i would put my life at risk because of those dang zergbuggers. They are the flying stungers that I find myself peeling out that pionty flesh of theirs every year. Plus this is a new day in Traviolen. So I am not going to risk this wonderous day with a stunger. I close the door and walk back into my home. This home built so long ago. My father had found it after the 1st Celestial War. he was a ranger of a stout figure. He could fling a notcher as far as the bloodshot eye could see. he taught me at a young age that those notchers would one day save my life. But when he found this place he saw a giant tree with 3 floors inside and a beautiful chair in one corner for my precious Zionix mother. Our kind the Zionix come from a long line. We are a peaceful type, we are one with our animal kingdom, except me and those dung stungers......(more tomorrow)
