Woot!
I finally have my time zone for Heroes Community fixed! For the longest time this function of HC has confused and befuddled me. But I finally entered a -3 hr offset number and now all my posts show the correct time that I posted them! Yay! I now imagine us all here together at the correct time! Woot!
Edit:  Thanks Khaelo!

Isn't US Pacific Coast time a -3 offset? My setting (on US Central Standard time) is -1. Do you still have proper dates on +21 hours?
Edit: Okay, I tried putting mine at 23 hours offset. The times are correct, but the dates are one day ahead of what they should be. For Oregon, try using -3 instead. Then you can have both time and day correct.

Zero offset. It just shows, as I always suspected, that New York is the center of the universe.

I finally got my time fixed as well! My offset is +13.5 and the offset used to always round itself up to +14, so now HC is on Adelaide time instead of Sydney time....

Ho Hum
**Sigh**.....
Another day, wednesday no less; another day of changing diapers, feeding babies, walking kids to and from the bus-stop, maintaining civil order, meeting the needs of the better half, and finding time to go for a short jog around the block. I don't see much except through the news, the newspaper, and the internet; I squeeze in at least two warcraft games a day and barely manage to maintain my sanity by thinking of the time when all my kids will be in school fulltime. It's an average life with one car and four kids to feed. I suppose I'm simply biding my time for the day to start on my own path of education.
I haven't been to college yet. I'm 29 years old and I dream of the day that I receive a scholarship award for insightful fictional writing. I'd love to publish a book if I could ever schedule enough time to write more than a few paragraphs. On my things-to-do list I've being a father and husband at the top. I figure I've about 4-5 more years before all the kids will be full-timers in school. Until then I think I'll simply mill around this community for the occasional witty remark and quality thread or post.
I think it's a good life. It's another day, no more, no less. Good to be here and happy to read the bustle of the active community.

Morning Was A Tad Brisk
I woke up at 5:00am to my alarm clock and the sound of the whining howling cat perched on the window sill outside my bedroom window. The incessant noise of that damn animal woke the baby. She sleeps in her sister's room. The baby works sort of like a siren. She starts out with a barely audible whimper and grows in intensity until my 6 year old son wakes. He's in the room caddy-corner to both of his sisters. He sleeps on the top bunk. He stirs, I sigh, pick up the baby, take her to the changing table, change her diaper, and take her to her mother who has been listening to all of this awake in her bed. While the baby is getting fed, I return to my daughter's room and notice she wet the bed again. So I give her my standard routine of removing the wet clothes and dirty sheets. I take her to the potty while putting her dirty laundry in the washer. All of this before my cup of coffee. I'm feeling some inner strength to be able handle all this before technically being awake. My son wakes up, climbs down from his bunk, and runs(pitter patter) to warm himself in front of the fireplace. He's awake but not conscious. I tell him to go lay down on my side of the bed next to his mother who is breast-feeding the baby. He complains that he is hungry and wants breakfast. I tell him it's too early for breakfast at 5:20am. He complains and runs off to his mother. I usually make the breakfast for everyone at around 8:00am.
It's Tuesday, I've had my coffee, Thanksgiving is in two days, and I had a great game of WC3. It was all a bit cold and brisk, but I've had a good morning.

Only When I Die
It seems it will only matter when I am dead or dying. No one cares until then. It doesn't make me sad at all. I simply feel it, they see it, then they hear it, and the world goes on.
I only wish and dream of the time when other people could think what I think and feel what I feel. I think about the future a lot. I daydream often. I imagine the best way to spread the love I feel. Sometimes I think, 'maybe if we could put a band in space, they could play the best in the galaxy'. I think of how far the sounds could be spread. Over the planet is easy enough, but how far would it travel into the deep reaches of uncharted space?
It's a good thing to think of. I think of how many people all over the world would stop thinking of war, poverty, and destitution. The spirits of so many would be lifted as high as the music that moves them so.
It's a great thing indeed to laugh, and smile, and hug for a short while. I wonder though, if people won't understand my dreams until I lay dying in their hands. We should all be so young and teach through music. It could be. It could be, if only for a single moment, it could be.

I'll Say More
It's also about being together to me. A trip, a journey, an experience that I learn from. I do it here and with nobody else. I only tell the people here because only here is where people listen. At least think, ha. But to do life together for a greater purpose like world peace, that is something special to me. I never forget the things I share with the people here. It's a part of me forever. And I like it too. It makes me feel safe and comforted to know other people travel with me...it's a warm feeling....

Yeah
Hi Aculias,
Hey something else though....as if I haven't said enough.
I was thinking that I've held it. I have touched the thing that we all have inside. It's the thing that goes with you when you think you're alone. It tells you what happened and where you're supposed to go. It also reminds me of what I should do and why I should do it.
Mostly, all of this, I'm talking about dancing, and singing, and playing as children do. I think it's a pure thing to see. No hate, no nothing that is bad, only good intentions. Maybe not all the time is good, but one time that is in all the places of the world would be great. If only one time, a good song that everyone likes. That would be nice. All the people everywhere could share the welcome of our own existence.

I just want to go out & just do alot of stuff & just live my life the best I can before it's too late since we only live once.
The best way to do thangs without regrets.
Nothing sucks more then regretting not doing stuff when you get older.

Not very remote. You see, sound cant travel in vacuum.

I Lied
Yes indeed. I sooo lied to my wife. Friday night rolls around and the kids are ecstatic for the weekly candy-run. Every friday, at the end of the week, I drive to the nearest gas station and grab a mega 64oz refillable fountain soda drink. I almost always get the Dr. Pepper but sometimes it's broken or they don't have anymore. This past friday I went to get my soda, let the kids buy each their own little candy, and rent a movie from the Blockbuster movie rental store. Unbeknownst to me and little did I suspect that there, strategically positioned in front the movie store, would be the mother of all sin-enticing temptations known to humankind. Lo and behold as I walked up to the store, with my kids following close behind, I saw the thing that is the bane of all who practice self restraint. There, under the small overhang of the store's front porch I did see a table with young girls sitting behind it talking amongst themselves. As they were carrying on a conversation that teenaged girls usually do, they stopped to notice a tall man in a dark coat standing before them with one hand stretched out holding three dollars and fifty cents. I stood there for a moment as my six year old son and four year old daughter peeked out from behind my large parental posturing figure. They were quiet as I asked for the box of Samoas.
Girlscouts and their cookies; I have never been able to turn them down when they offer the donut-shaped coconut glazed cookies with chocolate horizontal stripes. There have been many a time in the past when I was approached by the little devils but had no quarter to offer my aquired sense of palatable particulars pleasing to my personality. That night was no different than any other until I was ambushed by a group of insidious little elf madonnas holding the holy grail of sinful cookies.
So I grabbed the box, rented the movie(The Last Samurai-Tom Cruise), and drove home while my kids ate their candy in the backseat. When I got home and walked in the door, my wife was sitting in the rocking chair holding the baby. The two elder siblings burst through the front door slamming the knob into the wall and imprinting a memorable pothole in the wall that would certainly last longer than my sanity. They ran through the hall, kitchen, and living room in the space of a very short time. They must've completed at least five laps before exhausting their back-up sugar supplies. At last they fell in front of the t.v. as I popped the movie in and pushed the "play" button. But through the plastic bagging that contained all the evening goodies I had purchased, my wife started to stare at a square-shaped box-like impression buldging from one of the bags. She looked up at me in a puzzling manner and asked what it was. I grinned with the same self-servant evil desire that overtook my mind when I bought them. I replied that I had "given some money to the tsunami aid fund". Then I pulled out the box of girlscout cookies and she nodded with acceptance.
The truth is that the $3.50 wasn't going to any tsunami aid fund at all. I simply said that because of the agreement my wife and I have addressing over-indulging ourselves with unhealthy foods. We have both agreed that we don't want to become fat and overweight. So I lied and said it was for a good cause. I didn't really buy the cookies. I only wanted to donate to the tsunami victims; or so I said. And that's all she'll ever know. But I know the truth. None of the money will ever go to helping people in southern Indonesia. It will probably end up funding the girlscout war chest and eventually only give them the ability to continue luring unsuspecting weak-minded folk like myself into believing that each box of cookies bought is a donation toward some good cause somewhere in the world.
That remainder of the night was a chocolate/coconut blissful paradise of sweet heaven. I feel guilty for lying but I have no control when it comes to the likes of such professional tempters. They're tricky little devils those girlscouts. It's sad I'm such a plebian tool but oh well. That's life I guess.
