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
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 hate the times when you have a casual discussion with someone, they say some things that you solidly agree with and then, right at the end, they surprise you with an idea that you completely disagree with (that has relevance to the opinions you agreed with) and suddenly you lose respect for whatever opinion they ever had. For example: "I don't like zoos. [This is why]...The solution for my dislike of zoos is to bomb every single one of them and rid the earth of zoos." In these types of situati
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
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
Don't you hate those times when you totally miss the implications of something you posted? All I can say is my bad on the whole Easter entry. I did, in fact, sound "superior," but I never intended to sound in such a way. First of all, when I initially posted the entry, I was exhausted from a long day, so I was in no state to post anything. Second, I very poorly worded the entry making it sound like colored eggs and Easter candy were insignificant, and the religious activities that I primarily
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
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
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
I pretty recently released a track on Soundcloud that I forgot to mention here. If you could go check that out and give it some love that would be great! -Rez
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
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
I went to bed at about midnight like I do every night, and then I had to wake up at 4:45 am, because I had to Skype with a youth group at my uncle's church at about 5:30 am. Then I tried to go back to sleep at 6:00 am. It took an hour to finally fall asleep, and by the time I did, I only had like 2-3 hours of sleep left until I needed to wake up. So basically I got 5-6 hours of sleep at best, probably less, and now I have to do schoolwork and go to a piano lesson in an hour. I am going to feel h
