  Not a moderator anymore... officially...

  #258 - A California man set off 18 bug bombs in his apartment to rid it of cockroaches. The subsequent explosion shattered windows and almost blew the roof off. Live roaches were seen crawling through the rubble. - The Week Magazine
  
  How relevant is this fact to my blog? ...I don't know, I just thought it was funny.
  _______________
  
  I just recently decided to take a short leave of absence from the mod badge. Which is why the emblem isn't there anymore. Havent had time to even post at the site and it didn't feel right to have people asking me about mod-related things when there are more active moderators floating around out there.
  
  So why am I away so much? Am I sick or something? Not really... but.... I'm gonna steal a feature from one of my favorite users on the site, Katamari, and just add an insightful quote to my blog:
  
  "Stress is nothing more than a socially acceptable form of mental illness"
  
  Sometimes, things have a habit at jumping at you all at once. One day you're living a calm and quiet life filled with laughter and butterflies... and a month later you're hit by a dozen problems and deadlines that you need to get a grip on yesterday... and soon enough you realize that you have to make some sacrifices to stop things from piling up on you. Being a moderator at Gamespot is one of the many great things that I have to give up before I go nuts, but I'll probbaly try to return to the mod team sometime down the line as soon as I've cured this mental illness of mine.
  
  I'll still try to get back to Gamespot as often as I can, taking a complete break from GS isn't something I'm willing to do yet, but for a wittle while longer, I hope you'll be patient with me and my rabbit-hole ways.
  
  Also, the current mod-team really is a great asset to the site, trust a guy whos been on the inside. I'll miss talking to them as much as I used to and I wish them the best of luck with their future contributions to the site.

  This is getting repetitive

  Sanitation workers in the United States die on the job at a higher rate than policemen or fire fighters.

  The uncelebrated heroes.

  PS. As soon as I've figured out how to download my newest photos and documents from my comp's hardrive... I'm gonna go nuts at it with a baseball bat...

  I'm an uncle... again!

  - Interesting fact #256 (yes, 256 again... because apparently I had already posted the last one earlier >_>):
  
  The Universe is beige.

  This was concluded when some scientists decided to take the color of the 200,000 closest galaxies and then mixing them together. They kinda skipped the emptiness in between so... I still want to say that the Universe is black

  - Interesting fact #257:

  The roar that we hear when we place a seashell next to our ear is not the ocean (ooobviously), but rather the sound of blood surging through the veins in the ear.

  1.5 year ago I made a blog about my newborn nephiew, today that nephiew got a little brother.

  ***SPOILER***

  

  Apparently they arrived at the hospital at 7am this morning, after 2 hours (at 8:56) he was born... when my brother called a few hours later to tell us about the news I was like "WHAT?!? That's one fast baby".

  Anyway, just came back from the visit. He's really cute and small and soft and... pink... not beige at all...
