I want to believe in magic.. (shortblog is all whiney and lawbstermilkshakes)
Krahsh | 2:36 PM on 04.27.2009 8 comments


I find myself entertaining daydreams akin to plots found in some of our favorite games, movies or books.
Some part of me, buried beneath the layers of adulthood, wishes that some cataclysmic event would yank me from the comforts of my daily routine.
Don't construe this longing for adventure as a sign of dissatisfaction, in fact the opposite is quite true. At this point in my life even amidst the challenges of being a new father I've never been happier and yet I find my thoughts drifting..

I feel as if the years spent within the macrocosm of comics, gaming and music have left me with this aspiration to become something more in ways that are limited within this world.

I spend too much time indulging these reveries and suddenly I can feel this uneasy tingling in my chest.
On cloudy days it feels like I can fly.
I want to sunder the gods and topple mountains. I want to explode and watch the world burn.
I want to get lost in a story, I want to fight bloodied against hordes of formless evils, I want to save the day.
I want to believe in magic.




Also, my kid is amazingly awesome and more cool than any of us could ever hope to be, I mean look at this badass rockin' them shades!!!

As cool as your kid looks in those shades, the image of a badass feels incomplete. Maybe it's because that bright blue shirt throws me off.
Char Aznable's Destructoid Blog
I dunno, Jack, he's looking pretty badass to me. It's also crazy to compare this pic to the one right next to it in your profile - how much older is your son now?

Who's the bad-ass with the shades?
Jack Maverick's Destructoid Blog
Well, Char, I'm probably just saying crap because it's a matter of jealousy. Oh cursed envy, several things I would do for a pair of shades like those.

I'll be honest I have no idea what you're trying to say here, but your kid is super cool so props on that.
Krahsh's Destructoid Blog
eh, just the melancholy ramblings of an aging gamer.
also, the shirt? it's covered in skulls and uhm.. fire.
