Minecraft and the Social Insurance Agency, Lack of Money

Hi all :)

 

It’s been a long while since I last posted anything and yes, I am alive!

I have since last post been playing Minecraft, bought it sometime back in the alpha version, been playing almost daily and its indeed growing on me, building stuff and an entire world..

I made a private server that my friends and friends of friends play on, we had a major mishap however with the old world when it converted to the new variant in version 1.3 of Minecraft which for some reason began to make some zones inaccessible, some “chunks” of the game world shuffled or reloaded completely new ones destroying months of work, but we managed to save parts of it and started a new server world and nothing heavier then some lag and chunk loading lag issues.

 

Onward to something more interesting, during January I was on a visit to the psychologist, yet another new one…, it went ok I think, however, during the talk she asked me to check on my current pension and so on, apparently the Social Insurance Agency was running under new regulations to a more pro-capitalist one where they don’t remind you that its time to re-apply medical pension and that I should apply for a permanent pension, mayhap it be cause I have not had any positive results thus far, figure its permanent after almost 10 years..

So you understand that my pulse was high when I got home from the psychologist and not only was she correct, my current pension was on the last month!, so we wrote together the application for permanent pension and together with the psych sent in a revised edition of my last test results to try and establish a diagnosis of my problems.

 

After we had sent in all papers and such we received a letter some time in February stating that it was in line for evaluation/judgement in June…

As my last pension payout was in January, I have had to limit much of my daily activities, thus far my economy in accordance to my planning will cover enough pay my bills and medication up until July with some hope.

Lucky enough I still live at home so I don’t have to worry about rent, but I do help out with the funding for food and such, that is the least I can do, I dream of the day when I have enough money to keep up with a rent, food and medication or even better get well and regain the ability to handle a job.

 

Anyway I will end this here and hope to get back soon with a new post, and something more to write about then myself ,and recent events around me.

Hello again all.

I don’t think anyone in the world has missed that a Swedish political party that is known to be racist made it into the Swedish Riksdag, as I do not wish to promote them or even give them any further notice, I will not type its name here nor write about them in my blog from this point.

On the note of politics I will go ahead and talk about the political party I myself am a member of Pirat Partiet (The Swedish Pirate Party) which I voted for of course, Pirat Partiet got 0.65% votes this time, which might be a small result but still a victory over that of the 2006 election when they had 0.63%.

When I have taken my time to talk to people about Pirat Partiet they often go in one straight line, saying that the party has no use and it only has one goal, that of legalizing file sharing, this of course is wrong and it is often a surprise to them when I tell them that the party fights for the reform of copyright law, abolishment of the patent system & the respect for the right to privacy.

I think that if the party can make more people aware of those goals in a greater outreach for the Parliament elections 2014, we can get over the 4% vote line and get seats in the Riksdag.

…enough about politics, onward to something different.

I still need to find a shop that can supply me with Anime that has English subtitles (not English or Swedish dubbing) and offer them in HD Quality, this is cause I now have a TV with Full-HD (1080p) that can give me the full potential of my Sony Playstation 3.

My bow old TV was an old CRT model from SABA, it has to acting strange the last couple of weeks so I decided it was in my best interest to get a new one, so I bought a Philips 221T1SB yeah it’s a breakfast TV, but it fits in with my economy which is not that good at the moment.

I hope that as soon as my economy improves again I can start buying the anime TV-series I have seen lately, and some I wish to see cause I have seen some scenes on YouTube among others…
My list of Anime TV-series that I am looking for at moment of writing are:

あそびにいくヨ!  (Asobi ni Iku Yo!)
おまもりひまり  (Omamori Himari)
迷い猫オーバーラン!  (Mayoi Neko Overrun!)
マクロスF  (Macross Frontier)
ストライクウィッチーズ  (Strike Witches)
ストライクウィッチーズ2  (Strike Witches 2)

As you see the list is rather short, at least for the now and I don’t think you wish to see the complete list anyway.

Civilization 5 has been released and I think most of the core fans have had their chance to play and enjoy the new changes to the Civilization game series, I enjoyed a few plays since the release.

On the issue of games the Left 4 Dead series has some new updates coming… today actually at the time of posting this in fact as I am posting it past midnight.

So what are the new updates?, For Left 4 Dead we get the campaign “The Sacrifice” and for Left 4 Dead 2 we get both “The Sacrifice” and “No Mercy” campaigns, so I expect many will be busy playing these new campaigns.

I might as well mention that there is a comic made for this event available at the left 4 dead website & blog, link – http://www.l4d.com/comic/ – .

Up and coming game this month is Fallout: New Vegas, I have heard a lot of people hope it will be as good as Fallout 3, I am a bit more sceptical to if it will be as good or better, time will of course tell.

I hope that I will be able to Live broadcast from the game when I get it, I broadcast my game play as I might have mentioned so that others who are unsure if they want to buy the game or not can see a bit of it and see if they like what the see and can start to play the game themselves.

October 21st is coming up which is my birthday on which I will turn 27, if you had asked me when I was 17 how life would look at 27 I would have said that I would be coming home from work as a computer technician and celebrate my birthday with my wife, child, cat and friends until late evening then spend the rest of the night with the wife looking at the stars…

Yeah I know, back then I had dreams and thought I knew how life would turnout, but life is never that easy, nor is it without it’s challenges, cant believe it myself that at the end of October it will be 9 years since I had my first panic attack and the start of significant changes in my life.

Anyway until next time I hope you all feel well and don’t fall ill

EDIT: I am fixing some spelling errors and some typing errors on behalf of my keyboard :S
