I had a great dream last night... I was going around everywhere in this dream, but for one part it was nighttime and I was on the lawn of one of my neighbors, and it was distorted, and there were candles lit on it. Suddenly I started flying on a broomstick. Yes, I was on a broomstick. I rode around in the dark night sky, doing all sorts of swoops and turns. Fun. Then somebody else on a broomstick came after me, and I had to avoid them... I also dreamed that somebody challenged a teacher to a con
I went to see it with my dad today. And I was not disappointed at all. I loved it. The start was a great one, and I loved how the symbiote arrived... Flint Marko's transformation and reformation was one of the most dramatic, emotional scenes ever... Peter's struggles, and those of the people around him, were well portrayed. His discovery of the suit and how he used it was great, but I was aghast when Peter got himself an Emo hairstyle. However, this was alleviated when he acted rude and thoughtl
Sorry I haven't been around lately. Most of my time, I've been reading comics, reading graphic novels, reading comic books, reading up on comics, and most importantly, watching shows based on comics. After I watched Superman: The Animated Series Season 3 several weeks ago before I got out of school, I decided I wanted to get the other two seasons. The biggest reasons being several episodes. The first season two-part episode 'The Main Man' is a hilarious one featuring Lobo, a lot of cool aliens,
Hope is very different from blind faith. One definition of hope from dictionary.com: The feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best. Now let's look at blind faith: Belief without true understanding, perception, or discrimination. Vast difference. Let's see, which word has a more positive note? Hope. However, blind faith is often disguised as hope and better marketed. Blind faith is a vehicle for, and uses as a vehicle, prejudice, hate, discrimination, murder
One of the funniest dark-themed cartoons out there. Chock full of morose humor, homages to fiction (such as the episode Something stupid this way comes being a Ray Bradbury homage or The Prank Call of Cthulhu being a homage to the Cthulhu Mythos), and double entendres. One of the funniest cartoons I've ever seen, I wish it would come out on a season DVD... A number of quotes:
Grim: And what are you supposed to be?
Mandy: I'm a ruthless high-prized executive attorney.
Grim: Then what's with th
I have a choice to make. And it's a tough one. A few will know what I am talking about. One direction may lead me across a teetering bridge to a safer side or I may fall, the other direction brings me closer in but will it deny me opportunity? Unsureness and doubt riddle any decisions I have nearly made so far. What will I choose? And what do I stand to gain/lose? In the face of change, will I falter?
Instead of going on a walk, my dad and I first checked out the sidewalks to see what their condition was, to see if we'd take a walk. But then we went to Borders. I had a $50 giftcard for Borders, so I was careful what I chose... I had to put back an Oingo Boingo CD coz I wouldn't have been able to get some of the books I wanted. I got the new Pearls Before Swine book, two Bionicle books, an issue of MAD Magazine and most importantly... Batman: Scarecrow Tales! WOOO!
I'm listening to The Bea
Back from school. I lost in the Geo bee, but I did put up a good effort. An eighth grader won in the end. Ah well, I wasn't a jittery bundle of nerves. My day went 'okay', but keep in mind this is my definition, which is a depressing one. Hoo-ray for cynicism.
GMan's Proverb of the day: It's far too late to reinvent the bicycle but you can always make the 'Deluxe Bicycle: Now with ten times as many rusty, cheaply manufactured parts, guaranteed to fall apart like magic!'
I'm listening to "Voices" on my Disturbed CD The Sickness right now. What a great song, I mean, it's catchy and it has great vocals and lyrics... Woo.
Anyways, there's this great online game where you play as a little ninja. You can jump and run around, and cling to walls, but that's it. You have to make it through thirty episodes, each with five levels, with no weapons and lots of enemies. I love playing it, I'm playing it right now. You can find it online yourself, just search for "N Gam
You know how when a character is killed off or a big event happens, there's some sort of outrage in the fanbase? Fans riot and yell and make idiotic petitions, and bicker, and complain about how much the show sucks now, and all that jazz. And you know how some creators/writers/whoever cave in to demand and resurrect the character/strike the event from the official continuity? And then there's low sales or viewership? And then there are fans who are angry that the character was brought back/the e
Have you ever noticed how many cigarette butts you'll find in one given area? Or how many stores and locations are "No Smoking" places? Or how high cigarette sales have been and remain, and the same for the number of smokers? It's all connected. Every time a smoker goes into a no-smoking establishment, if they're smoking they have to put out the cigarette. Once they leave, they probably light another one up. Add that to laws about smoking in public places, your home, and wherever, and you realiz
Here I am, updating from my Computer Fun class.
My favorite four Batman villains, and possibly favorite four comic book villains, would be Joker, Scarecrow, Mr. Freeze, and Two-Face. All four of them are great characters, who had great portrayals in the Batman animated series and the DC animated universe as a whole. Mr. Freeze was reinvented from a gimmick villain into a tragic one, Joker and Two-Face got great backstories and were wonderfully portrayed, and Scarecrow was downright awesome.
GregF just posted on 2009 in his blog, and it put my mind into overdrive. It gave me a prediction on what will happen concerning fan reactions in 2009: Following a heavily flunctuating acceptance level from angry fans, 2008 will sharply divide the fans... There will be a sharp spike upward in the number of topics debating whether or not Bionicle now sucks. This will be reflected in topics going on about how 2004/5/6/whichever year occurring after 2003 that the member is biased in favor of manage
I can't remember what I dreamed... Bleh... I get sick of everybody around me some times... Like they're poison... Nnn what was I talking about again?
Maybe I'll add some more Batman stuff to my sig... Hmm...
Boy my day was hectic. School was a mix of sensations, a large amount unpleasant, but at least I didn't spill a drink on my pants or fall down a forty-story flight of stairs face first. So in comparison to what could have happened, what did happen was bad but it was still 'okay' in the 'so stressful I want to bang my head against the wall but maybe not' way. At least I have the weekend ahead of me, but then again it might be ruined. Ah well, I am going to a friend's birthday party tomorrow, no b
Yeah, I was a packing slave, having to scurry around gathering clothes for the vacation in Florida. Whee.
I'm listening to some Lemon Demon right now... Man have I gotta get one of the CDs...
I'm working on some... Strange... Artwork. Specifically, ninja toasters on mopeds. Just you wait. Maybe I'll get the chance to finish it, maybe not... It's hard, because I need a side view of a moped, and so far I can't find a pic... Nur...
*belch*
I'm sitting here, drinkin' Diet Coke (I snu
I changed my blog back to 'Approve all comments' setting. It's a real pain to search my blog every day for comments, but for some reason none of you ever comment when I set my blog to 'No Approve'. Why is it that every time I try to make my blog more convenient for everybody, none of you comment?! Is it some sick plot to make me go over my blog every day to see who commented on what and force me to keep it in the 'Approve All Comments' setting by not commenting?! Come on, please, if I change my
I went to the dentist to get little rubber discs inserted between some of my teeth today. That's to help put in the braces somehow. Hurts like heck, still. I'm just rather numb. Hurrah.
Attention: It has come to my notice that love is merely no more than electrons floating inside a piece of meat called a 'brain'. It may be to your advantages to alleviate yourselves from any of the social illusions known as 'romance' before unplesantries arise from the fact that we are all insignificant and
Firstly, strange idea for a promotion. And secondly, that's sad people think it would be offending. Sheesh. There is nothing that can please everybody. So that's just stupid. What next? "Oh no, the air is wrong! Somebody fifty thousand miles away could feel insulted somehow! We must change it!" or "You existed wrong! We have to arrest you so nobody's offended!" Yargh.
I go back to school on Thursday. I don't want to. I'm so nervous about it, and it feels like it was just yesterday that it was May 29th and I was having a blast with my dad seeing Hot Fuzz and going to the mall while my sister had a bunch of her friends over, and I looked up the Bravo series 'Dexter' on Wikipedia when I got home... And it feels like it was just yesterday that it was June 15th, and I was at Canobie Lake Park with my friends, going on wild rides and just having a ton of fun... Or
I woke up like twelve minutes ago and I have to say the snow is absolutely incredible. It's st wonderful. Another reason I love winter. I find it ironic it snowed on Groundhog Day, when we got predictions of an early spring... Whatever I'm just glad to have some snow... Of course our ugly chemicals and mud will dirty it up fast, sadly.
My parents might be getting a divorce... I can't believe it... I don't want this to happen... It can be fixed, and it's obvious... I don't want my parents to divorce... I feel so awful right now... My dad just called a while ago and told my mom he wanted a divorce and they talked for a while... Then me and my sister talked to our mom and we comforted her... My dad hasn't thought this through, and hasn't considered what it would mean for us, and I'm going to point that out when I see him tomorrow
