Updates Updates Updates (off-topic)

Well updates where to start i guess with life. Me and my wife have gotten under contract to purchase a home. its 1500sq ft and just needs some love and care. Were getting a grant valued at 30499$ to use as a downpament and to cover closing cost. The price we offered on the home is 83500$. After having several episodes of drama things seem to be going well on this front total cost beig mortgaged is going to be around 50000$. Not bad for 3 bed rooms 2 bath home with vaulted living rom ceiligs etc. I'm also beging a new job part time until we close on the home after which ill begin fulltime. The job is IT related and looks like it will offer me a promising career. Its with a company where i can grow my IT skills evenly instead of just being a help desk technician or pigeon holed into one task. so yay me

Wow news theres not much because school has taken over. I want to play but between studying family and more work theres little time. I'm nervous about 4.0 making paladins lol ret again but things will work out im sure. Hunters seem to be promising and i may go ahead and farm BOA items to play one after the release of 4.0. Gold making is at a stand still but i am beginig to ammass some glyph stock that ill use upon 4.0s release assuming thats when the great glyph change happens. One funny thing is my son loves watching my pally ride his motorcycle around. Im using this as an ppurtunity to teach him how to move the character around. He likes it but being only 2 im not sure how long it will interest him.

On the MJ front depressing news. MJ arrest have risen 1.3% this year to 858,408 people. OF these arrest a whopping 88 percent (758,593 Americans) were charged with possession only. leaving only 99,815 other individuals that were charged with “sale/manufacture,” a category that includes virtually all cultivation offenses. This is the second highes total of arrest ever 2007 having the highest with 872,721 arrest. I guess this is americas freedom at work. Where individuals are arrested for pursuing happiness through the smoking of a plant that is arguably safer than americas other legal intoxicants.

Little Niche for scribes

As a scribe there are multiple ways to get rid of excess sknowfall ink. You can sell it raw, craft cards, runescrolls, and offhands. One of my favorite ways to get rid of excess snowfall is to craft 5 of each epic offhand. These sell for an average of 250g plus on my server. I make around 10 offhands at a time. I have them set up in QA3 to undercut by around 3 gold. I can normally sell 1-2 every few days sometimes more. Its a nice supplementary income that is low matienance.

Heh funny what happens when your removed from a blog roll.

Have you ever noticed when your blogs removed from someone Else's site? Well i just did i was once linked on Marckos site just my two copper. He was the reason i began making gold in the first place. I find it discerning to be removed from his blog roll. I guess i shouldn't complain most blog writers believe that Marcko is thing more than a sly business man. I however have no view other than his site is a great resource and i'm curious why my blog was removed from the list. Marcko if your reading this i wouldn't mind an answer you can drop it in the comments.

I guess i may have ran him off with my views on MJ, I wonder how many people i alienated for those post? I don't really care maybe they read it and learned something. Maybe it opened their mind to view the world in a different more free way. All i know is that when you have something on your mind that consumes it one way to alleviate this feeling is to write about it. MJ policy is one of those subjects for me.

The reason why im for changing our current MJ policy is because it was created by racism, lies, and propaganda. That the laws have been enforced unequally causing major harm to minority groups and young people. What little good is caused by the prohibiting the use of MJ(the safest drug available) is destroyed when you look at the harms of prohibition itself.

Prohibition has caused an increase in violence by drug dealers, cartels, gangs and given them a monopoly on distribution and production of MJ. It placed parents in jail and broken up families placed teens in jail. Prohibition has given police the ability to plant GPS on your car without a warrant. Prohibition has allowed police forces to use paramilitary forces to serve warrants entering homes by kicking down doors instead of knocking. Prohibition has allowed for swat to use tatics such as shoot dogs when serving warrants. Prohibition gave cops the power to steal property and sell it profit. Making MJ bust a great way to profit from the low hanging fruit. Prohibition has de regulated the sell of drugs allowing anyone even young teenagers 13-14 easy access to drugs through drug dealers.

The reason im for MJ policy change and only want legalization is because i know the current laws don't work. Prohibition of MJ has not ended use of MJ, Prohibition has not diminished the production or distribution of MJ. Prohibition has only cost us money destroyed lives and created criminals out of other wise law abiding people. People who just want to be taxed and accepted for their recreational drug of choice. A recreational drug that is safer than most pharmaceuticals, alcohol, or any other drug. A drug that was freely available since ancient times and used as medicine until 1913 when it was removed from the American Pharmacopoeia. A drug that grows naturally from a plant all it needs is tender loving care.

Genisis
11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

A plant that if your christian was put here by god for people it was good. A plant that is so safe a person would have to smoke 80,000 joints in one hour to OD on. A plant that has more uses than just being a recreational drug. MJ and hemp its non drug cousin have been used by mankind for years and to forbid the use especially when it harms no other individuals goes against nature, common since, and the desire of god who said it was good.

Where I came from. Where im going, ( a recap of my wow career)

My first character to hit 60 back in wow classic was a paladin. I had the misconception 1-40 that i was going to DPS. Well that didn't work out because back in those times paladins were designed to heal. I was an odd ball until i finally grabbed some cloth and began healing. ZF was my first dungeon to heal I eventually healed all the classic dungeons. I raided ZG, MC, and Ony. one attempt at BWL and a few AQ20 attempts. Attaining an ok mix of purples including my coveted T2 helm( the best pally set ever). I concluded Wow classic a healer and began BC a mage.

I leveled 2 70s in BC a mage alliance, and then a horde warrior. I never managed to even take my mage to Kara during BC. Shortly after 70 i made full switch from alliance to horde leaving behind a server and friends to play with family. I then began leveling a undead warrior which btw was probably one of the hardest classes to level at the time besides priest which is what i tried first. I switched between fury, arms until around 65 when i went full protection. I raided mostly T4 raids eventually clearing ZA several times. My warrior was decked out in full t4 tank, and arms set i was managing to top my guilds ZA raids DMG charts whenever 3.0 came around.

In lich king my playing has been different than most other expansions. I had a kid and got married and grew up alot. I leveld my original pally (Jeri) from 62-75 before having to deactivate my account. I also leveled a druid from 65-80 gearing it up to around 5150 gs and have an average 4850 gs for 2 offspecs. I managed to kill a boss in every raid but ruby sancutm. I also began writing about my wow journeys and experiences making gold. I managed to make around 60k gold casually playing the AH and starting a mammoth glyph industry. Ive taken breaks but returned to wow for various reasons. However playing wow is like puting on my favorite shirt it fits just right. I play wow as a hobby its a place to meet newpeople and kill time. I used to be hardcore raider every night now i just raid once a month if that. Im a gold making machine when i set my mind to it. I can amass enough to buy whatever items i want. This is my wow history for anyone who cares.

When life takes adump on you

It sucks.

Ret or Prot That is the question.

Currently my paladin is level 41 and specced ret. Which is good my attacks hit like a truck and i mow through mobs. However one of my readers suggested i tried prot. Well i may just do that i'm not sure to switch to prot i will have to level my 1h weapon skill but other than this there are no big hurdles. I have the shield from SM and the 1h tank sword from SM quest. The main reason i hesitate to change prot is that in pvp i may not be a killing machine. However i would be a usefull distraction and a possible flag carrier in PVP. I will probably just grab Duo spec and begin leveling wep. skill to try out prot. I know that as prot doing dungeons will become alot quicker to que which means less questing. However by having duo spec i can choose if i want a longer que time and quest or instant que and have no wait.

Im currently stockpiling ink. I have around 600 IOTS which is not nearly enough to begin crafting glyphs. I plan to continue buying northrend herbs in mass and hoarding my ink. This will have 2 effects the first is that ill be able to mass craft when i reach my desired ink level. The other is that i will drain my competition of their herb supplies. Which will send the prices of glyphs higher creating an ideal market for me to sell glyphs in whenever i reach my desired level of ink. Hopefully ill continue to craft around 500 IOTS a day reaching my desired storage point in 4 days. Once i reach 2k inks stored i plan to begin crafting 10 of every glyph. While i am crafting i will continue to syphon herbs off the market to keep my competition from supplying.
