The best moment of your life

[wooty]

Actually stepping off the plane at Narita International and finally realising a 15 year old dream. Its a pretty sad moment really, but it really was the best time in my dingy life

A local computer technician organised these big LAN parties at my primary school once. For a few months, every weekend me and half a dozen other students would team up against him in Age of Empires: Age of Conquerors. He'd always win.

I have yet to experience something that surpasses that in terms of pure joy.

I'm not usually one to care about "living big" or whatever, but there is an oddly disturbing feeling that arises whilst acknowledging that most of my great memories are of playing games socially too.

My life has been fairly mundane, no great loves, no burning desires or need to achieve things. I'm a pretty good songwriter and that brings me some joy, I'm a witty bastard and I love to make people laugh...but I always have my walls up, so everything ends up feeling pretty empty when the feeling subsides.

I think I'm going to pick music or comedy and have a good go at it. My best memory to date is probably from an open mic night that I did. I only did 3 songs and only to about 30 or so people, but the response was more positive than I could have ever imagined for my first time out. I could imagine myself doing it more, and to bigger audiences.

As sappy as it sounds, and believe me when I say I hate myself right now. I just think everything I do is going to feel somewhat flat unless I can break down my walls.

What was this thread about again?

Probably seeing Tool live earlier this year has to be up there, it was a long frustrating day in the heat listening to shitty bands I didn't like and then Tool hit the stage, a cool breeze suddenly swept through the stadium yeah they blew my mind haha thats the only way I can describe it. Certainly something I'll never forget
