In this life of ours, there are many things that we enjoy. Without the feelings of love, happiness, and satisfaction, I cannot honestly say that all of us would live a life that we thoroughly enjoy. One thing that makes each of us individual is what we do that brings us these feelings -- how we live our lives. When under stress, overcoming boredom, or just looking to have some fun, we often seek the comfort and companionship of another person, or an inanimate object. Or both. Maybe you swi
Or at least what's left of it.
Yes, I am talking about topic revival. I mean, even Omi knows it's evil. It has to be a direct spawn of the devil. You kill it, and it just keeps coming back. However, we can fight topic revival. Oh yes. JUST DON'T REVIVE TOPICS! Here, I've even composed a list of topic revival periods in every forum. Well, I did this months and months ago, but it's still accurate. Please, help me out here. I still have a contest to assist in, I can't be dying on you g
Be a good member and report stuff and you'll be handsomely rewarded.
Be a bad member and cause trouble and you'll be severely punished.
I can do that now, yanno.
Thanks for the opportunity, Mr. Six, and congrats to Smeag as well.
Today marked the official second day of summer for me. I'm still loafing around, waiting for things to get started. The fun stuff, you know? I've been lounging around the computer for most of the last two days. As this week fades away, things should get much more busy. I'm tripling the hours I have at work, and I have quite a few activities planned out. I'm looking forward to meeting up with some friends I haven't seen in a while.
For the rest of this weekend I plan to be relaxing at ho
So many things are happening. Have happened. Will happen. And I haven't blogged in so long. But I will blog. And I have blogged before. That I have done. But I have never blogged like this. Maybe I have, but I don't remember. It's been so long. My blog was on life support. Thank goodness for puffin-Vahki. I knew there was a reason I kept them around.
I suppose I'll start with today. I had to be at work at 7:30, which wasn't particularly appealing at the time... That's A.M.,
First they threw me in Software, and I suppose they then figured I'd make a better slaveFA in COT.
Anyways, I think I tidied up nicely, dontcha think?
And I can't forget to say hello to my new COT homies! Looking forward to working with you guys, should be fun!
Official BBC Contest #39: Deck the Halls!
Yeah, it's here. Yeah, it's awesome. Yeah, I've gotten 31 PMs related to it. Yeah.
A few things need to be said, though:
1. Please, please, please ask all questions in the entry topic. I hate PMs, and rule number two even states that you should ask all questions in that topic.
2. If you see an entry that you feel doesn't meet the requirements of the theme, then you should PM a contest staff member (Tufi Piyufi, -Shannara-, or myself). How
I've been working on an entry ever since I heard the theme on the first of the month. My first thought was to build a simple Toa-type MOC -- teal, black, and silver, with a black hau olda. Then what I had built came out monkey god-awful, so I demolished it. My next idea was to go for a mech-ish look, kind of like my Gauntlet MOC. While starting that, I got some good designs for more of a Toa-type MOC again, so I went back to that. Made some legs and all that good stuff. Now I'm working on f
Okay. So I'm reading this book called East of Eden by John Steinbeck. I'm not prepared by any means to talk about the book, but I do want to talk about this one quote that I adore.
Read it a few times, and think about it.
Alright, so now I got you thinking. Or at least I hope I did.
I can think back to so many situations in my own life where somebody didn't believe me when I was telling the truth. Some of those times, it hurt. A lot. It stung deep down. When someone totally r
Cuz I need some.
It's Wednesday, so that means I should get some news up on the front page.
However, I can't really find anything to report except the Glatorian being on sale on TRU.com.
Anyone got anything exciting?
If so, I got a cookie for you!
Ticketmaster -- which more commonly goes by a more fitting name not well suited for BZP -- has basically become a monopoly in ticket distributing.
Let's take a look at concert tickets that I bought for a Tool concert in Atlanta and how they were actually priced at Ticketmaster. About a week before the tickets went on sale, Ticketmaster advertised the price of a general admission floor ticket to be $63.
Ticket Price
US $63.00 x 3
Convenience Charge
US $10.90 x 3

Finally!
Rarely do you get a nice day here in South Florida. Well, not unless 'hot and miserable' floats your boat. And for me, the boat doesn't float, but it rather sinks to the bottom of the ocean and rots away. You can walk outside for a mere minute and be sweating. Now, add a few hours of time and extraneous work into the mix. Sounds like great fun, right?
Today's high is around 76. Normally we'd be lucky for that as our low for the day. Right now it's 63, and it was 50 early th
It just overcame me. I danced around the house for a song, and then a whole album (well, EP).

Tell me I'm not the only one who does this?
So I'm leaving my neighborhood. At the second stop sign, there's a bunch of kids playing around crossing the street. Playing around and taking all day... I mean it's not like there was a car waiting to go or anything. Eventually they move and I started to go, but I did accelerate a bit faster than you would normally. Okay, so the tires squealed and the engine revved when I started going. As I do this, I glance in my rear view mirror, and lo and behold -- a cop! He followed me and eventuall
Yes, my blog was sinking into the bloggie abyss of bloggie dung. Or something of the sort... I didn't want to get too close, dunno what exactly that stuff was. Anyways, figured I'd pull it out before he comes down with one of them diseases. Last thing I need is for my blog to be high on those Fleming meds. That pharmaceutical stuff isn't cheap, yanno?
If all goes well, I should be updating this here blog more frequently (every day, almost?) starting tomorrow.
Also, I need to pick a s
Yes, I do. Luckily I also have some solutions.
I've been making money for over a year now. My job rules. Alright, so I'm lying through my teeth. But it's either Publix or a fast food joint (Burger King would be the closest) and I'd rather not be flipping burgers. But who knows -- maybe Than can tell me that it's not as bad as it seems. Regardless, fast food employees don't get tips, while I do. And believe me, you come in contact with some of the more wealthy people. And around the ho
You're out there somewhere
And I'm right here
So come and get me
Look up to the sky
I see all the stars
And I wonder
Which one is mine?
Fall on me
My dear star
Fall on me
I need to know
That you're out there
Somewhere
Waiting with me
Waiting for me
And I wonder
If I even have a star
And I wonder
Which one to wish upon
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do
I'm working on a few MOCs for BBC Contest #50.
I hope I can get something done in time. Something good.
Lurk my Brickshelf and maybe, just maaaaaaybe, you'll find some WIP pictures later.
I'm asking for your assistance. Yes, you.
I haven't really been keeping up with the 2008 Sets this year. I've been busy. As such, the Official 2008 Sets Topic has a rather lacking opening post. I'm looking for a few people who want to help me write up a new opening post. Please either comment here or PM if you're interested in helping.
Thanks guys.
So I'm just sitting here chilling, been on spring break for a while now, when it hit me like a flock of elephant seals. Now, I'm almost positive 'flock' isn't the correct word to describe a group of elephant seals, but I don't really care. I'm using it.
THERE'S SCHOOL TOMORROW.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
No more 'do-whatever-you-want-you-have-nothing-to-worry-about-tomorrow-and-you-most-definitely-don't-have-to-wake-up-at-6:20-or-attend-academic-classes-of-any-kind'. Oh no no no no no no.
As you have probably noticed in the past week or so, I've been changing my avatar and banner very frequently. Several times a day. I'm very picky, and it has to be perfect. I take unusual pride in my avatar and signature. Dunno why, I just do. However, I have vowed to keep what I have now for at least a week. Yeah. An awesome avatar, with equally awesome lyrics. They're staying.
