Pedestels

By
Me and someone had an interesting conversation yesterday. Prompting this short question post:

Who do you put on a pedestel?

Who do you look down on?

Don't answer either of these please. I don't really want to know. I just did a personal inventory and realized there are an awful lot of people that I either elevate or disparage for reasons that are not really valid reasons.

I know there are people I've thought horrible things about who were really just normal regular joes who were smart in other areas but inexperianced in the arena I knew them in.

I know there are people I've thought of as amazing self assured genius specimens of physical perfection....who were really insecure, incompetant, losers who wanted more from life.

Anways this is just serious thoughts from the Orc.

imo, sry if i sound preachy, but i don't think anyone should be put on a pedestal. people are exactly what they are... human! they have flaws, they make mistakes, they have egos, the list can go on. i'm not saying that you can't look at someone as being really smart, or really athletic. i'm just saying that you should hold anyone to a higher standard because they are just like you and they are not perfect. putting people up on pedestals just makes people feel more disappointed later on.

i think everyone should put themselves on a pedestal. not to say that they are better than anyone else, but as a tool. a tool to use for self improvement. a tool to show you that you are better than that. that you have a high standard that you want to live by. use it to say "hey, i'm better than that" when you do or say something that you think is wrong.

I agree with you Klaki. That was the point of this post... is that I had put people places they shouldn't have been and I was surprised at how unconciously I had done so.

I was hoping to get people to look at their own perceptions and consider who they had elavated or delevated without realizing it.

Guildless.

By
Me and Wulfa are now guildless. This came as kinda a shock and with no communication from the deciding party. I'm currently looking for a guild for us. We are not "raiders" and will never be. We do research our gear and fights and in general our classes. We are looking for a guild that we can be a part of, chat with, and not be expected to raid or be on specific times. I think that means we're looking for a "social" guild. We are primarily alliance but once finances get squared away(aka my bonus arrives) we could possibly convert to horde. If anyone knows of any guilds that they would recommend please let us know.

On being Horde.

By
Obviously we no longer play Horde side. Wulfa has a 70, 45, 32 and numerous other alliance alts now. I've got a 63, 46, 20, 16, 11, 8, 8 Alliance side(all my alliance alts are new since we moved over to Kael'thas, wulfa's playing two characters that already existed before our horde characters were started). But we are two and a half ORCS. Not two and a half random alliance characters. This makes it hard sometimes when I see links to my site or I see a horde shaman etc. It is kind of like going back to your home town and seeing people you used to know and they ask you how your ex-girlfriend is doing. They don't know you split up. You don't really want to talk about it. Etc. Sometimes I think fondly about getting on my Horde shaman and leveling a bit. Nothing ever comes of it. And even less will in the future as I get further and further away from wanting to play those toons. There are things I like on the Alliance side. I like the Dreanai. A lot. Even th...
