I first felt emotionally directed towards the that one special girl before I ever even saw her. I was friends with a guy, paralyzed, who happened to be her older brother. I cared a lot for him. Then I found out that he had a sibling, and I thought that whoever she was, she must be a very cool person, naturally, having grown up with him. Several months later my infatuation was in gear. Once he graduated and wasn't around in school anymore, I found other reasons for liking her. She's a farm
It's true! My sister wanted a game of Disney Monopoly. I can understand her interest. It sounded pretty fun. However, once it was opened, we find out that Hannah Montana and High School Musical are Park Place and Boardwalk, respectively. It's a slap in the face to see them put in the highest places of honor. My mother expected Snow White to be Boardwalk and Fantasia to be Park Place. It would have made a whole lot more sense, because those are two of the oldest classics. I mean, ten yea
The present is an illusion. Reality is in the mind, but I am only ever aware of whatever I was thinking moments before. Therefore, if I exist in the present, but the present does not exist, then I do not exist. That is disturbing, but the sad thing is that I am not disturbed, because I cannot truly say anything of myself in the persent tense. Merida
FOR YEARS I HAVE BEEN HAUNTED BY THE PHANTOM OF MY BEST FRIEND. She is a woman, and very much like an older sister to me. She is, in a sense, my ultimate peer. She is the person who never gives up on me, always has faith in me, and knows that I will pick myself back up again when I fall. She doesn’t coach me, but she holds me in her confidence, knowing that if she can get things right, then I will, too. We are, after all, peers. This perpetual specter has never left me and has be
Well, it grows near the time to get another name change. At around January 26, I will be eligible to change my name again. I have come up with several name ideas, and I am of course letting you guys have your say by voting. Here are the candidates. Emperor Kraggh - "If elected, I promise to return you to a classical era!" St. Kraggh - Well, my name in art is St. John, which you would know if you read my Glaedr blog entry, and the title is a unique one for a BZP name. Bones Jr. - Don't worry
This controversial film is something that people seem to either love or hate. I have encountered people who think that it's not a Bond film, while I, with my limited experience with Bond films, feel that it's a Bondier film than any ever made. Certainly, it has a new feel, and it definitely stands out, because there's something different about this one. There's something special and unique. Since I don't know where to start, I might as well begin at the beginning. It sets the tone with a u
I was visiting the graduation party of a friend called Kitty. I stuck around for a while to enjoy the place, because of the oreo cookie creme and stuff like that, but there was something that struck a major philosophical idea in my head. As selected senior pictures to keep of Kitty, I grabbed one of her on the gold course, and I suddenly realized that golf was a sport. I've always opted to go out for track instead, since it was more athletic, so I never thought much of golf until, for some r
Alright, so here's me serious, non-sarcastic thoughts on rating people based on how attractive you find them. I don't engage in the practice myself, for a couple of reasons. I don't trust to do it without objectifying women, first of all. Second, and probably more importantly, it offends the person being rated, since I would rarely rate someone above a 6, and everyone wants to be a 10. As I've said in my previous entry, 10's basically don't exist, and anything above an 8 is incredibly rare, or a
This is the first year I've ever bothered to watch the Academy Awards Ceremony. Part of this is because I have been following Spielberg's Lincoln for quite some time. I have a great reverence for Spielberg, and to anticipate him doing a biopic of one of the greatest presidents with Daniel Day-Lewis was a worthy wait. Then I saw the advertisements, and I instantly knew that it was going to be a powerhouse performance. I watched the movie, and it was the first time in a while that I have been
Sure, it's really expensive, but I'm genuinely saving up to by one of the 5,000 authentic Helms of Sauron. There's not much that I desire more. Can you imagine how hardcore I would look wearing this on Halloween? I've decided I've moved past action figured and evolved into a figure of action myself. Hopefully I can get enough art commissions this year to earn a few thousand dollars. If not that, then maybe over the course of the next few years. If I'm really lucky, I can also get the mone
In recent years, Superman has had a bit of a makeover. On one hand, there's the version I really like from the New 52, which is exactly how I think Superman's costume would look like. Heck, if I has Superman's powers I would actually wear the same costume while going off to save the world: What you can't see, of course, are the boots. They're there. The back of the cape also has a black S Shield on it, which is the only real issue I take with it, because it should either be yellow of
Okay, I'll admit that she's pretty spiff and we've been in some pretty nice conversations. And she looks like Sarah Palin, Tina Fey, and some other famous person. But that doesn't mean that I'll... Okay, I will jump on the bandwagon. Nukaya is awesome. Everybody make blog entries about it. Now. And I believe this aptly sums her up: Your Honor, Emperor Kraggh
People like to brag about their troubles. One person mentions how their life has been difficult, and I know first-hand that there will always be someone else who will say "Oh yeah? Well I've got you beat." You had emotionally abusive parents? Well he or she had emotionally and physically abusive parents. Your job had a cruel boss? Well he or she was in the military and had to go through a drill sergeant. You don't deserve to be sad with your life problems because there's someone else in A
When I revisited my old hometown college there was a poster up on the walls for a choir group called the Canons. It was a very simple poster with some information and a picture of a very pretty girl on the front (she had short hair, which is an uncommon fashion among girls that I personally find very attractive), except for some reason her wonderful features were covered by a big circle-slash NO sign. That kind of annoyed me and I wondered why it was there, so I read the headline that went wit
This entry was a school assignment, but its content has been edited from its original form so as not to break BZPower's guidelines on religion, which it had at first broken profusely. #1. Love of a higher ideal. We must be able to love all of the world beyond ourselves with all our hearts and all our minds and all our souls. Our belief in good will inspire the best out of us, and we will learn to love all of the world and follow our moral convictions. #2. Love of self. By loving creatio
1. Michael Phelps 2. Staying behind after a ballgame and nicking the expensive but left behind souvenir cups for free 3. Spock with a beard 4. Small puppy. Big eyes. 5. If only Arnold could have been in "Terminator Salvation"... 6. Variations of that old "dumb people always say no" joke 7. Cookies. With milk! 8. Comic strips about hopeless nerds 9. Growing taller than your parents 10. A girl wearing a Twins jersey Your Honor, Emperor Kraggh
Any comments regarding John McCain will be edited or deleted. I did not mention him in the essay with any political intentions, and I do not want to see anyone posting on that presumption. If a moderator thinks extra measures should be taken, they may feel free to remove the paragraph that I dedicated to him. This essay was written a few days ago. I did it in one draft. Once you write enough blog entries, stuff like this comes naturally. The teacher and I had a talk on this, and we both a
I am an organized man. Organization keeps things predictable and smooth. Organization means that you've planned ahead, and it also makes life simpler on top of all that. Therefore, I have given myself a schedule of my activities on the internet. For those who know me and would like to have an idea of what I'll be doing, check here regularly. This schedule is subject to amendment in case something else comes into my life or if certain things on the list doesn't need to be done any more. P
I've given this quite some thought, since I'm endeared to both personality types. Recently, Iruini Nuva said that INTPs would rule the world from behind the curtain, but honestly, that sounds more like an INTJ. I mean, Emperor Palpatine was an INTJ, and he was the ultimate puppet master. Anyway, INTPs get to claim Spock, which is a pretty big deal. Also, Albert Einstein and Abraham Lincoln. Probably Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes, come to think of it. But INTJs. Wow. I looked up famous INTJs
I hate it when in movies or stories or whatever someone ignores ethics and says "it's not my job". That's really stupid. The way I see it, if you're human, you live life as a human. Anyways, this leads to another thought I was having. That is, if I ask philosophical questions, I expect that it would only be appropriate for someone to answer those questions as a philosopher. And no, you don't have to be a philosopher by profession to be a philosopher. Plato didn't think he was any wiser th
Congratulations to me? Absolutely! Yesterday I took a trip down to Wal*Mart and made a large purchase. I was fortunate enough to get four Agori, three Glatorian, and a box set. I'll tell you how I feel about each of them. First, however, let me make a generalized statement. Their joints were the firmest I've ever seen in a set. They are definitely not floppy. I like that. Second, the Iron Man heads. They are definitely like Iron Man's helmet, and they are definitely cool looking head
People will be able to buy AK-47s at drive-thru windows. Rich people will have access to nuclear missiles. Work weeks will last for 80 hours with no overtime pay or benefits. ESTJs will rule the world. ENTPs will be their loyal lackeys, advisers, and courtroom jesters. Slavery will be reinstated, and it will be implemented on all of the ISFJs and ESFJs. ISFPs and ESFPs won't be enslaved, but will still be second-class citizens like the Irish back in the good ol' 1800's. The Purge will
Many people have tried a large variety of ways of advertising their RPGs. Sometimes they try to give it a catchy title or description, sometimes they put it in their signature as a banner or large link. I have tried both of those, as well as making it look sophisticated and well thought out, but I am considering another method of advertising, one that I have only seen Robo use before. I got the idea when I was reading the back of the book Brisingr (a filler, if you ask me). There, if I reme
