I have been receiving emails of late indicating new blog entries from a number of old friends here on BZP. Apparently the blogging system just returned after a lengthy hiatus? It has been years since I've visited the forums, but I've never forgotten all the fun I had as a part of this community. I am still alive, and I would enjoy reconnecting with anyone who remembers me from quite literally a decade ago! My absence over the last 10 years can largely be explained by school. I began my fres
So I've been thinking about buying an Xbox sometime in the next year, mainly so that I'll be able to play Halo 3 with a few of my classmates while we're all in different colleges. However, I think it would almost be a waste to just get an Xbox for only one game, but I've never really checked out all the games for Xbox. Does anyone know any good games that they may recommend once I do get one?

Sooooo, our class is officially pathetic now. We spend a lot of time in our Principal's Office, mostly messing around and drinking his coffee, etc., and someone had made the comment that his office had become something like the Teacher's Lounge, except for Seniors. So, I made a nice looking sign that says "Senior Lounge" and hung it on his office door. It's still there, and he has actually said that he's fine with it being there.

So I'm a senior now, which feels rather interesting; knowing that a year from now, I'll be in college rather than high school. Most of my classmates are making it a bigger deal than I think it is. So far, the only change from previous years is that we now have our own special "senior" parking lot that's closer to the school than the other parking lots. We have a few new teachers this year too, and I like them quite a bit. Our new government teacher is a very enthusiastic and energetic person
It's great to see that BZP is back up again. In its down time, I actually found myself so bored that I wondered what I did in my free time before I joined the site. A few weeks ago, myself and BZP member Alku went to Minneapolis on a youth trip to ValleyFair (a large amusement park). We spent plenty of time at the Mall of America (mostly the LEGO Imagination Center) as well, got ourselves the titan Mata Nui set, and took a picture with the both of us standing near Tahu. I haven't uploaded an
I'm at camp again, same campgrounds, different camp, and this time, I'm on the staff. I'm a part of their security force, mainly nightwatch. At the moment, I'm watching the moniters of several security cameras throughout the campgrounds. Strangely enough, this work is actually rather enjoyable.

Why is it that I can remember a Christmas from 12 years ago in perfect detail, but I can't remember for what reason I just went into the kitchen?

So, Sr. High Camp in Devils Lake, ND begins tomorrow, and I'll be embarking at about 8 AM. The camp lasts until Friday, when I'll get home at about 5:30-6:00 PM. During that time, I will have no access to any computers, but hopefully I'll be able to log onto BZP at least once or twice on my iPod. If not, well, I'll be back on Friday.
Also, prizes for the Pimp My Blog contest = epic win.

Out of curiosity, what instruments do you play? I've been known to play some piano, guitar, a bit of trumpet, and some clarinet, but my forte is definitely with a drum set. Drumming is my musical passion.
Remember that GarageBand song I told you about a few days ago? I've got a good chunk of it done, and I've uploaded the WIP to the internet. Listen to it and let me know what you think!
Apocalypse
The song is written mainly in minor tonality and has a great blend of beautiful melody and hard rhythm that produced an apocalyptic sound (hence the name).
Every note is 100% custom.
I've been inspired with GarageBand the last few days, and have been writing a song in the key of A Minor. I usually tend to stay away from minor chords, but this song is turning out quite well. It's slow work, as I'm trying to make everything as perfect as possible. Perhaps I'll be able to post what I have thus far within the next day or two.
Control
Take control of the atmosphere,
Take me far away from here.
There is no better loss than to lose myself in you.
In a parachute to glide, I am captive in your sky.
Surrender somehow becomes so beautiful.
Take control of the atmosphere,
Take control of the atmosphere.
You can take my world, you can fill the air.
Take control, take control.
Such a beautiful surrender,
Such a beautiful surrender,
Such a beautiful surrender,
Such a beautiful surrender.
Move me up through
Welcome to the Pearl Showcase!
The central theme of this blog involves Pearl drumsets and accessories (I am a percussionist/drummer, and Pearl is my favorite brand). The category images are based off of the discography of the band "Newsboys", and entries pertaining to the contest will be based on many different musically related things. Also, notice the header and footer images and font color of this entry. All entries in this blog that are meant to be a part of the Pimp My Blog contest wi
Hey all, I've been out of town since Thursday morning at a "camp" with very little internet access. It's been insufficient for my iPod to correctly connect with, and the computers at the grounds are both out of working condition. I'll be back home tomorrow in the afternoon, and then I'll be back on BZP with my more regular schedule.

I decided on a central theme for my blog in the Pimp My Blog contest, and I've pretty much finished making images for it. Now I'm deciding on some of the content that'll be needed throughout The Observatory (which shall be renamed when the new theme is put into place). The best part is that I'm really enjoying this and really getting into it.

I haven't in quite a while, but I'm back on the MOCing line trying out various projects for things that I might bring to BrickFair. If anyone has any ideas for possible projects, by all means, put them here, I'd be very interested in trying them out.
Also, saw Jupiter for the first time this year last night.

And for good!
A very wonderful person purchased another PMship for me, a lifetime one, no less, and I am incredibly grateful for it! Not sure if he/she want his/her name mentioned here, so I'll wait with naming who it was until I know for sure.
Anyway, I'm glad to have my blog back, especially since it's a lot sooner than I was expecting. Completely unexpected, in fact.
It snowed yesterday. Yeah, June 6, 2009, and it snowed yesterday morning. I believe they said it was the first tim
It's been a while since I've posted something here in my blog.
I've been out a lot, taking advantage of summer vacation; the weather's been great here. I've been spending a lot of time on Platinum as well, preparing for some stuff that's going to be going on soon that involves the game. Can't quite talk about it here yet. Also, on that same note, I've been designing and building a new website for this "Platinum" stuff.
Finally, I'm pretty sure my PMship runs out very, very soon, and at
