Well, guys, it's been a wonderful six years on BZPower. I've met so many wonderful people, had so many great discussions and gotten to share art and ideas. I'm so glad I could be a part of the community. But I think it's time I say farewell. My interests have changed over the years, and while I will always have a place for Bionicle in my heart (gosh, thinking of the memories I've had on this site and the nostalgia that [1st gen] Bionicle brings makes me want to cry), I've moved on to new things
So I searched my name on tumblr, and I saw someone asking the question of why I end all of my blog titles with ellipses. Actually made me kind of laugh, because there really isn't much of a reason for it. It's really just a habit, and I desperately need repetition, so once I started ending titles with ellipses, I couldn't bring myself to post an entry with a title lacking them. Just thought I'd mention this, because it seriously did make me laugh. -Rez
So I've been writing some poetry lately, and I have two poems I thought were worth sharing on BZP. I'm generally pretty hesitant to post any of my writings, because I'm an extreme perfectionist; but I figured I'd see what you guys think. And maybe I can even start posting poetry more regularly. --- My Light The sun, the moon and stars combined, don't even compare to the light that shines, that pierces, deep into my heart. The light that radiates, that captivates, that enchants my soul. The
Seriously, all these posts telling people to work on their grammar and spelling are incredibly disrespectful and unnecessary, and to be honest, kind of annoying. No one on BZPower, or on the internet, for that matter, is obligated to use perfect speech. If that were a requirement, no one would use the internet. No one is perfect. I don't understand why people find the need to be grammar nazis and humiliate users for not writing "properly". -Rez
I don't know how many of you have heard, but a Malaysian passenger liner was just shot down over Ukraine by, presumably, pro-Russian separatists. I'm not sure how many of you know that I lived in Ukraine for over half of my life, but this is really tough for me to hear. It's already been hard enough learning that some of our Ukrainian friends have fled Donetsk, Ukraine, where we used to live. Donetsk is the epicenter of the pro-Russian rebellion, by the way. Anyway, because of this incidence, we
I feel special having more posts than bonesiii today. He is the master of posting, after all. But I have a feeling that in the next couple of hours my reign as top poster today will vanish. -Rez
I doubt it. It honestly wouldn't be a smart business decision on LEGO's part. Not only would it ruin HF sales, if not other theme sales, but one has to ask the question of whether or not the return of the theme would actually bring in that much revenue at all. A recycled series is not going to bring in the same profit that it used to. If I were LEGO, I would allocate my resources towards other themes. If Bionicle ever returned, it would be much better off to return years and years from now, when
I just finished the Harry Potter movie series. All eight of them in 3-4 days. I had never watched any of them but the first up until now, so it was quite the experience. Those movies were by far some of the best I have seen in my life. And now I'm left in this limbo sort of state, where I'm incredibly sad I won't be able to see any more movies. I got so attached to the characters, and I wanted to see more. I'm depressed. -Rez
#AustinMahone #NBAfinals He was flat for most of the rendition, was off key multiple times and tried to turn the National Anthem into a pop song. It didn't work. Just my opinion though. -Rez
And better than ever. Finally made it to Colorado on Sunday night. We had a 26 hour travel day--all on Sunday. On the first flight, from Moscow to NY, I watched about 5 movies: Ender's Game, Thor: The Dark World, Frozen, The LEGO Movie and part of Despicable Me 2. Ender's Game was a really great movie. I liked the concept, sort of, but it was kind of like most other alien movies? The basic plot: either the earth or the aliens need resources, so they go to another planet to get them and go t
All I have to do is play a song at 30% volume on my laptop (with earphones), and it legitimately hurts to listen for too long. It's probably because my ears are kind of sensitive right now. Yesterday I spent an hour on the metro listening to music, which meant I had to blast the volume to like 80% on my iPod to hear the music over the loud screeches of the metro. Then I spent hours last night working on some Trance music (at 30% with these same earphones). Regardless, the sound on this laptop is
So I thought I might share the some of the classes (the classes I'll enjoy =P) I'll take throughout high school (just for fun, not that anyone will care xP): Sophomore year (10th grade): Math: Honors Algebra 2 (Basically pre-AP Algebra 2) Science: Advanced Biology (Not a big fan of biology, but I figure an advanced course might do me some good) English: American Literature Junior year (11th grade): Math: Pre-AP Pre-Calculus (=D) Science: Pre-AP Physics English: British Literature [by n
