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.

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
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
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?

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.
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.

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.
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!

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
Well, school's out now, and I'm officially a senior. I watched that new Night at the Museum movie last night. It was absolutely awesome. I recommend that all of you go and see it. I've been working pretty hard on a new website, one that probably won't be linked to here for quite a while yet, since it's far from finished.
All in all, summer looks like it'll be quite a bit of fun.

Golden sun setting over a sea of red.
Winter moonlight through a calm forest.
And now for the story behind these two paintings. Yes, those are my pieces of artwork, and I found them the other day while cleaning out my closet. I painted them about a year and a half ago in art class at school. The humorous thing is that those paintings were rushed pieces of artwork for an assignment that was due that very day. I wasn't really putting too much effort into them when I painted them,
Today is my last Friday of school, which gets out for summer vacation on Thursday, six days from now.
As soon as that happens, I'll be a senior.
