I've recently been listening to different speeches by different US Presidents. Originally it was because I wanted to improve my speaking ability by listening to Ronald Reagan, who was nicknamed The Great Communicator, and I wanted to know what that was about. Then I started listening to parts of other speeches for a certain project I was working on. Some of them were at least somewhat interesting to listen to (enthusiastic, passionate), whether or not I agreed with their ideas, but Lyndon B Jo
I know I don't come here very often, but sometimes it's nice to visit and maybe leave an update. It's been a couple years since I made a blog post, but I'm sure there are still some people who remember me (if they don't already interact with me on Facebook, which is my main social hub online). I realized I missed visiting to celebrate my account becoming a teenager, but I've been somewhat busy with life anyway. This year has been an interesting one for me, to say the least. I'll give you a bri
One thing I've wanted to do years ago was to visit LEGOLAND in California, though I never had the money or any other reason to visit the state before now, so I didn't really think much about it. But this week I am here in the city of Los Angeles, visiting some friends, and part of my plan is to go to LEGOLAND. I'm looking forward to it. It wasn't the reason I came out here, but I figured since I'm in California, I might as well make the trip to the theme park. I don't know if I'll get another ch
I'm still alive. Also, I've been part of this site for eleven years. Less so than I used to be, but I still visit from time to time. The site's changed. I've changed. Such is life. Even though I'm not as much a part of this site as I used to be, I think in some way being part of this site was beneficial. In fact, I still retain some of the friendships I made with people from this site. So even if LEGO were somehow to disappear and the site to shut down for whatever reasons, those friendshi
That's a rhetorical question, which means I don't really want an answer.
Somehow, random has become synonymous with funny, when that is not necessarily true. Oh, it's not just on BZP: there are shows that thrive on randomness, but they can become so random as to leave us scratching our heads thinking, "What did I just see? Was I supposed to laugh?" (It's when I'm in those situations I like to think, "If I explain it to you, then will you laugh?")
Sure, random funny can be good, but it's m
I heard about a LEGO convention that's happening in my neck of the woods (from somebody who doesn't live in my neck of the woods... see how on top of things I am). Brick Fiesta July 4-7, 2013 Hampton Suites & Convention Center Mesquite 1700 Rodeo Drive Mesquite, TX 75149 I'm thinking about going, if anyone's interested. If I do go, it might just be during the public hours, since I haven't really done anything with LEGO in a while and am not really sure what I have going at that time. (
Okay, so by now, we all that Greg Farshtey is both staffed by LEGO and a member of BZP, but how many people know there are other people that work with or for LEGO? There are lesser known people than him, but without their contributions, BIONICLE wouldn't continue to be what it is.
With that said, I've decided to make it my duty to dedicate a block to these hard-working individuals. If you look to the right, you'll see their BZP Username and what they do in the real world that has to do with
Disappear from some place for a while, and you'll have no idea what's going on when you get back. I still like to visit every now and then, but my life keeps me tired/somewhat busy, and while I enjoyed BZPower, visiting after a long absence just isn't the same as when I was more fully active with the site. My life's just not the same as it was five years ago (or even two). I work overnight in a check processing center (have been there for over a year), and I'm starting a new position at the begi
Saturday was officially my last day as a Toys 'R Us employee (unless I go back later): December 11, 2008 - July 10, 2010.
Now you may ask why I quit my job (or maybe you don't care), but rest assured, I had good reasons. No, I was not malcontent or hateful of my job (though I had off-days, same as anyone else), but I had reasons for leaving my job of nearly 19 months.
The main reason was so that I would be able to travel. I've already mentioned the missions trip to Hungary... which is stil
The life of the ironic: so unpredictable yet not unexpected; I have a love-hate relationship with the word "irony."
I love when it happens, except that it happens to me so often; I'm the type of person who could climb a ladder quickly, run across a tight rope safely, and fall off the bottom rung on the opposite side. I like to think of myself as an accident-prone Jackie Chan: I could do insane stunts well, only to stub my toe when walking away.
Anyway, one thing that gets is the constant
So I got back from Hungary this past Sunday (I wanna go back), and I basically hit the ground running almost non-stop. One task after another. Haha.
I went to lunch with a friend of mine yesterday to talk about some stuff, and he ended up getting me a job doing data entry for another company that shares office space with his. Now that's the kind of friend everyone should have. It's not a lasting job at the moment, due to being based on a current project, but things could pick up. I wasn't eve
