I've been trying to update this journal for ages, but couldn't get it done for some reason. Actually I've been trying to do many things lately. I probably just didn't know what to write here and quite frankly I still don't know... well... we'll see what will the final effect of this journal be

First of all... and that'd be rather late, but still, happy New Year and I hope you all had wonderful Christmas, that you had some time to spend with your close ones and generally had a good time I hope in one years time you could say that this past 2010 year was a good one

With that out of the way jet us continue on my usual ramblings.
Since it is a dawn of a new year, here are few thought about the year just ended few days ago. The first half was filled with sadness, sorrow, dilemmas and depression, while the second half was full of hope happiness, excitement and adventure. Woman I was engaged to is now planning her new life with someone else, but at the same time I found a friend, much, much more then a friend even. A person who in those few months became closer to me then anyone else.(yes, that was a very elaborated way of saying that I have a new special someone who's very dear to me and most of you already know who she is ) I've seen so much, been in so many places, done so many things during this year. More then I ever had in my life. So all in all, the last year was a milestone in my life, probably the biggest and heaviest I've encountered on my road of life so far. And I am really happy it's there.
This new year is most probably going to be a decisive one too. I'm going to graduate from my university, (hopefully <_< ) I'm also going to get a real job soon (also hopefully). There is also a possibility to moving out of my comfortable little town into a big city to be closer to a certain someone and who knows what else awaits me in the future.
One thing's for sure, I won't be getting bored in a nearby future, but that's a good thing. Gotta move my lazy ass and get going into this future everyone's so excited about
that's all folks, I hope you're not too disappointed seeing me alive and well take care and stuff

Random though: Looking for a way to improve my cheese finding skills

Ok, time to take down the previous pointless journal i guess <_<
I don't really have a lot of things to tell you... well... actually i could tell you quite a lot of things I just don't feel like it
anyway, life is a funny thing really. One year ago I was a very happy man with a lot of plans and hopes. Few months ago I was a man who though his world ended and nothing's going to make it turn again. And now I'm a man who can see how many possibilities just passed me by during last few years of my life. I see a close friend, maybe even more then a friend where I saw just another someone I met on the Internet. I see places I can go to without looking at others. I see things I could never do and I see myself, the real me not the one I was so desperately trying to became for someone who in the end couldn't even appreciate my efforts.
Yeah, all in all there is a motion in my life and I'm not really going to choose directions here. Let's see where the river takes me.
The other news involve as always a shitload of things I'm suppose to be doing at the moment instead of updating my journal, but meh <_<

have a nice day/night/whatever

Random though: <_< .. >_> cookie?

Well, here I am joining *zaphiel-san's little game of gatting watchers <_< it probably won't work, but it wouldn't hurt to try <_<

here's how it goes:

<The game>

Time to play the game

If don't read this through you will probably lose anywhere from 1 to 10 000 watchers or in some cases even more.

Despite a scary introduction. this is a fun game that i've (zaphiel-san) adapted form the financial industry. When you follow through exactly the way its supposed to, you can gain up to 10 000 watchers or even more with the investment of only 1 (that is ONE) watch. No, really. It's simple math, I'll explain it to you in a moment.

Now, please, this is just a fun and easy way to expand your audience, please don't abuse it by spamming people or anything. Plus it only works when everyone follow through every step, so it's best to rely on close friends.

And if you don't believe the 10 000 watchers claim yet, get a calc and read carefully what I'm about to say.

Here's a list of five deviant users.

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Notice that my avatar is the last one on the list. This is essential.

Now, follow these steps and you're going to be blown out of the water.

Step One: Whether you like it, or not, go and watch the first person on the list. This is your investment, and the whole game will only work if you do that.

Step Two: Delete the name of the deviant you've just watched from the list.

Step Three: Put your avatar AT THE END of the list. That means BELOW all other avatars. In case you don't know, the command that will put your avatar there is : icon[putyourdAnamehere] : without the spaces and with your screenname instead of [putyourdAnamehere]

Last Step: Put this in your journal and tag 10 of your friends.

OK, now see how it works (if you havent figured it out already).

The point of the game is to get 10 people to watch the first person on the list. Why? Because, if you get 10 people to give a watch to someone, that means that person gets 10 watches. BUT, when every single one of them gets another 10 people to watch someone, that multiplies to 100 watches. Since you're now no.5 on the list, it means your 10 friends will tag 10 other and they will in turn tag 10 other and finally they will tag 10 who will finally watch you. Thats 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10 000 watches. Simple, and all you have to do, is to follow through.

Imagine what will happen if more than 10 people pick up on your journal. You can just copy and paste this txt to you journal, remembering to change the necessary stuff.

OK, one final word, just to keep track of how deep this goes,
the journal name will include the lvl number. All I ask you to do is to put a number one higher that the person you're taking this tag from.

Here's who I tag!:



[PL]

Czas rozegrać GRĘ!

Jeśli nie przeczytasz tego do końca, prawdopodobnie stracisz od 1 do 10 000 watcherów, a w wielu przypadkach nawet wiecej.

Pomimo straszącego stęu, będzie to zabawna gierka którą ja (zaphiel-san ) zaadaptowałem z wersji finansowej. Kiedy przejdziesz przez kilka jej kroków, możesz zyskać nawet 10 000 watcherów lub więcej, za koszt tylko jednego watcha. Nie, naprawdę, to prosta matematyka, zaraz wszystko wytłumaczę.

Ale! Proszę, to ma być tylko fajna zabawa i prosty sposób na poszerzenie audiencji, nie niszczcie tego zamieniając w spam, czy cokolwiek. Plus, gra działa jedynie gdy każdy przejdzie przez wszystkie kroki, wiec najlepiej polegać na bliskich znajomych.

I jeśli jeszcze nie wierzysz w te 10 000 watcherów, weź do ręki kalkulator i czytaj naprawdę uważnie:

Oto lista 5ciu deviantów:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Zauważ, że mój avatar jest ostatni na liście. To WYJĄTKOWO ważne. Teraz, wykonaj te kroki i dopiero się zaskoczysz:

KROK PIERWSZY: Czy Ci sie podoba, czy nie, daj watcha osobie, która jest pierwsza na liście. To Twoja inwestycja, i cała gra zadziała tylko wtedy, kiedy to zrobisz.

KROK DRUGI: Usuń z listy avatar devianta, którego właśnie zawatchowałaś/łeś.

KROK TRZECI: Umieść swojego avatara na KOŃCU listy, czyli pod czterema pozostalymi. Avatara wsadzasz pisząc : icon[twojaksywa] : bez spacji i nawiasów, oraz z Twoją ksywką w miejscu [towjaksywa].

Ostatni Krok: Wsadź to do swojego journala i zataguj 10 osób.

OK, teraz wytłumaczę jak to działa (jeśli jeszcze nie skumałeś/łaś. Celem gry jest przekonanie 10 osób do obdarowania kogoś watchem, co oznacza, że dana osoba dostaje 10 watchów. ALE, kiedy każda z tych osób przekona kolejne 10 osób do obdarowania jakiejś osoby, ktoś dostanie 100 watchów. Skoro jesteś nr. 5 na liście, to znaczy, że 10 znajomych poprosi 10 znajomych, którzy poproszą 10 znajomych, którzy ostatecznie poproszą 10 o zawatchowanie Ciebie. Słowem 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10 000 watchów. Proste, starczy tylko podążać za wyznaczonymi krokami.

Wyobraź sobie co się stanie jeśli wiecej niz 10 osób skorzysta z Twojego journala. A możesz spokojnie skopiować i wkleić cały ten tekst do siebie, zmieniajac odpowiednie miejsca.

Ok, ostatnia sprawa, w kwestii sprawdzenia jak głęboko sięgnie ta gra, tytuł journala ma numer poziomu [lvl]. Proszę tylko o zwiększenie tego numeru o jeden w stosunku do osoby od której bierzesz ten journal.

Well, as the philosopher once said “shit happens” and my life was turned upside down and inside out and I'm mostly unhappy about it. Not going to whine about it too so instead I'll just post this little thing I stole from ~JessKat83
Feel free to do it yourself, it helps getting your mind of the annoying real-life problems.


1. What does your deviantart name mean and why did you join this site?

Well, Adalbertus is a Latin version of my real name (more or less) and I use it in the 'net. Also it is a name of my vampiric character in my little world and it's a name of almost all my male rpg characters

2. What fandom were you obsessed with when you joined and what are you into now?

Back then in the good old days it was mostly Legacy of Kain series I guess. Right now I'm not as much of a fan of anything as a gut who works on his own world. I still keep my eye on LoK things and few anime/manga/cartoons but not as much as I used to <_<

PC

14. Anime or Manga?

Anime with few exceptions

15. Coke or Pepsi?

Sprite

Logged? Almost all the time it's opened in one of the millions of tabs in firefox and I sometimes refresh it to see if something new came up. But I don't really have the time for any DA-related activities

Traditional cartoons, well drawn traditional cartoons with a good plot.

I dunno <_< never been a big tv fan, not since i got a computer anyway, so I don't really have a favorite one. <_<

I'm still here, still lurking, still watching, sometimes even faving. Sorry to all those who'd expect comments and favs from me – I'll do that eventually.
Happy birthday too all those who had one during those few months
direct happy B-day to *zaphiel-san who I believe had birthday quite recently
anyway, what was I doing? Nothing I'm afraid... nothing of any particular meaning at least.
Job hunting sucks when you're looking a job and studding at the same time, at least in case of my studies <_<
most of the time I spend either sitting in labs or home doing projects and stuff like that. Most of the time I'm not doing that I'm spending with my beloved. I also tried to work in several places, but that idea worked out rather poorly.
If I have any time left I'm trying to spend it on learning useful things (C#, asp.NET, PHP to name few). That leaves 5 hours of sleep I usually spend taking care of my hobbies

Also, today I got my diploma Almost three months ago I passed my final exam and got my engineering degree (or, as I know now a bachelor of science in engineering degree, although it's not 100% correct translation)
and here is a little photo of my humble self in additional robes and a funny hat [link]
yes, I'm that ugly guy

That's all for now I wanted to write a little about few things, a rant maybe, but nobody's reading it anyway, so there
