Origin

I�m back in the strange and sick world of the Blogosphere. I�ve been blogless (new word!) for a month now. This is not the first time. Before, it was voluntary. I shut down my past blogs or simply abandoned them for a short period of time just because I was having my tantrums about life. Silly, I know. But this time, I�ve been blogless because of elements beyond my control. My previous host did a data and server migration, apparently for a couple of days only. But the �couple of days� turned into a week. Then a couple of weeks. And next thing you know, I�m creating another blog because my Consolidated Crap blog is lost in server-migration limbo. Enough of the sad intro. Time for the real origin story.

I have more funds now for my comic book geekity (new word!). I�m now visiting my favorite comic book shop almost every week, whereas before, it was just a monthly deal. And comic books, basically, is the inspiration for this new blog. Stupid, yes. But it�s my blog. So, piss off! Anyway, a longbox is� well� a long box where I keep my most valuable comic book issues. Long story short, this blog is where I keep my personal issues about life and all whatevers inherent to it. Brilliant, eh? Mwehehe.

Now, for a brief recap of the past month (excluding the afformentioned host fiasco):

I saw the third installment of the X-Men movie franchise. Twice. Just because of that scene after the credits. Bwahaha! The critics slaughtered the movie, but I absolutely love it! And just for the record, Movie Kitty Pryde is so adorably cute! Not hot, but cute nonetheless.
With all the big comic book events last month like the end of DC Comics� Infinite Crisis and the start of Marvel Comics� Civil War, it�s a good time to be a comic book geek. I�ve also started reading DC�s 52 series (weekly!). I�m a very geeky comic book freak right now. And I won�t have it any other way.
I set up a personal webserver on my PC. Yup. I successfully installed the latest versions of Apache, PHP, MySQL, and PHPMyAdmin on my PC. I am now playing around with the latest versions of content management systems like Xoops, Joomla, and PHP-Fusion, and also WordPress. I�m also remotely debugging and testing yUPieLBi.com. Together with the latest versions of Photoshop and Dreamweaver, I have my very own web development workshop in my room. I guess I�m trying to keep my ComSci spirit alive. Not using it much in my job.
I went to the beach for the second time this year for our company outing. I don�t know why, but Laiya, Batangas holds a very special place in my cholesterol-ravaged heart. After the outing, I unfortunately got sick. It caused me to miss work for three days. And since I didn�t get a medical certificate for those three days, my salary will get a significant beating this month.
Being the impatient prick that I am, several weeks of not publishing these stupid stories and experiences was torture. So I came up with a brilliant idea: make a new blog! Genius!
