I am finally doing my blog revamp! Yay and such.
Most notable is the main block to the right (--->>) has category banners (credit to Adventurer for them) and thequotes have been removed, pending a designated block for those and other quotes. The Dark Side block will be replaced with a more general gallery and the munkie and octapus have been grouped together.
I hope to liven this blog up and make it emerge from dull utilarianism eventually, but this is all I'm doing tonight. Any id
I'm finally watching the LOST season 4 on the web, so that means I am getting up-to-date, lol. And one observation of mine is this:
The more I see of Benjamin Linus, the more I like him, even though I'll always hate him.

I has two-thousand posts now. *nods*
About 1,999 of it is spam, too.
*forgets all about it and just keeps posting*
On the other hand, it's almost 3:30 AM and I feel a little sleepy. *yawn* Screw the 3K for now, then.

So, yesterday when Mom and I were in Portland, we stopped by at Powell's Books, the greatest bookstore west of the Rockies. I did not have a certain book in my mind, but I decided to browse the philosophy section for good measure, then the Geography area. When we came out, she had some dumb Spanish phrasebook and I had, uhm...
The Blue Nile, a docubook about the exploration and exploitation of the Blue Nile, the other volume of the Nile books by Alan Moorhead (I have The White Nile, so I was
My PM inbox is almost full. I think it would be best that the threshhold of Premier Member's inboxes be expanded to 1500 so that I do not have to go through the most ardous task of deleting the messages I have there.

Recently I have looked through my room and found my old case of pencils, pads and erasers, all still proffesionaly packed in their slots and places.
Truth is, I am an artist. I may be a little rusty, seeing as it has been a while since I picked up my conte' or B2, but I can warm up a few times and start working again.
I draw pencil and pen nature scenes, sometimes with a splash of color, and use the more orthodox things of art rather than the newfangled things. As such, sadly, the only w
The State of Honesty
- - - - - - - - - -
Can you imagine a community where nobody can be trusted, everyone keeps an eye on everybody, and nothing is what it seems? Though easy to depict it, one cannot truly grasp the problems that would persist in such a case. Not even I, for that matter, but then, I don't have to in order to talk about it.
The problem with such a community would be the fact that there is no honesty, a factor that would inevitably wreak havoc on the entire society as
I guess my last entry was depressing. <sigh> But, good news! Yesterday and today I feel alot better, due in no part to an e-mail I sent last night that made me feel more fulfilled.
The sun has been shining here, litelarly and metaphoricaly. Sure, still is as boring as hick (it is Oregon, after all ) and the tests are still here on my desk, but I still feel soo much better.
Bloggy news: essay on the way, by, like, tomorrow. The theme is different, about what I call the "State of H
So boring out here. I mean let's face it... I live in a small, reclusive forest estate that is as private as a beaver dam, as boring as a dead stump and the most exciting thing is watching the rust creep over one of our cars. Oh, did I meantion that I have basically become the 'Man-of-the-house' and just about all the property-upkeep duties are mine? I am a full-time caretaker of my dad, too, and of all things a struggling student!
...And the weather is not very helpful, either.

So today I was interviewed for a staff position at Camp Baker, one of the best BSA summer camps on the west coast. We will see what they think of me
later, but still...
On the note of the internet, it has beed postponed slightly because of a tree location, but when it is done they will retry to set it up, hopefully by monday.

So Mom and I agreed to finally order the sattalite internet service!
I made the order last friday!
They delivery and service people will be here on wednesday!
So soon I will have broadband!

So, what am I doing at this present time?
Why, browsing through a library, of course!
Truth is, I am a bookworm. I rarely have had time to read lately, being busy and all, but hopefully I will have some books to read soon-ish and the time to read them.
Why have I been so busy lately? Well, tests, essays, and my addiction to a MMORPG called Tibia. So, as such, there has been little time for BZP.
So PMs are on hold for the most part, the SWRPG is on hold also (though I'll try to g
For the last two days I was on leave because I was on a winter snow camp. (For those in the BSA, you know it as Klondike.) 'Twas great fun, seeing as I was not running around solving puzzles and was instead a staffer. So, I was just sitting around grading people for throwing snowballs out of a lacrosse stick in my station instead of getting soaked, cold and miserable (as T 404 has a gift at doing xD). Plus, I had a hot lunch cooked for me as opposed to sitting on a tarp eating cups of noodles.

This is being revived because of dissagreements I have seen between members, though the most recent one was with Necro vs Omicron. I urge all to read this, and relize the importance of union.

Introduction
What is a community?
It gives other definitions, such as :
but I think we will pass on that.
Now, with the first definition, we can plainly see that BZP is indeed a community. We are
I want to let you know that Omicron's large banner and avatar are the reasons why we have board messages. Thus, Omi is the culprit. All care should be directed towards Omi.
Thank you.

So I finally have something to make a halfway decent entry about, lol.
Just an hour ago I met with the City Parks Commitee to adress my want for an Eagle project (something I must do to earn the highest rank in Boy Scouts). Things went fine and my speaking was fairly well done, and I will be meeting with the parks specialist on Friday. Looks like the best choice is for dugouts at the ballpark and benches to watch. Well, at least I have something in my agenda for my Eagle badge.

I saw Ice Age: The Meltdown a couple days ago. Loved it, as I did with the first movie. I also absolutely love the soundtrack. The way it conveys the general idea of the movie, its emotions, its urgencies, its triumphs, is great. Very American composing, but hey, I just love classical music more than I do any other musical genre.
If anyone knows if a third movie is coming out, please let me know.
