Now, understand that I've been using the AOL browser for 3+ years, Which is not something you want to brag about. And since I've upgraded to DSL, I've been using IE 6. I was feeling 'meh' about it, so I upgraded to IE 7 yesterday... Didn't like it. At all. Now, a few months ago, I downloaded Firefox, just to try it out. Turns out that it's painstakingly slow... Like all browsers are using dial-up. But I don't remember having against the browser. So I downloaded it again yesterday, and I
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!
It's no fun...
Now, some people over-exaggerate on how awful they are... It's true they're ugly and annoyoing, but that's all, I promoise. Even the so-called 'pain' experienced is more annoying than hurtful. Your mouth is a bit sore for a few days after your visit, eating can be unpleasant, but that's about it. I promise. Life goes on. I've had them for 3 years now. Luckily I've only got a few more months left with them.
But is it ever so unconfortable to sit in that reclinable chair
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
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
Man was this week hectic. And it's not even over yet. Mid-terms on Tuesday and Thursday, with the PSAT in between on Wednesday. Huh? Yeah. It wasn't fun. Things went a lot smoother than expected, though. Way too smooth. I just hope I end up with a good grade on my Algebra II mid-term. I need an 'A' or 'B' to boost my 'C+' to a 'B'. And if I got anything lower... Guh. How I ever hate tests. I never do as well as I should on them. I dunno, I just blank out sometimes, and it doesn't co
Sooner or Later - Breaking Benjamin
I want a normal life
Just like a newborn child
I am like a lover hater
I am an instigator
You are an oversight
Don't try to compromise
I'll learn to love to hate it
I am not integrated
Just call my name
You'll be okay
Your scream is burning through my veins
Sooner or later
You're gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw your life away
Driving me under
Leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw your life away
You're like an infantile

HAHA. Right. I hope I never have to hear that sound again in my life.
Tommorow, my five year era of dial-up finally ends. I've been using it since obtaining my first family computer in mid 2001. I can't wait until I come home tomorrow from school. But with my luck, something will go wrong and by house will be burned down or something equally tragic while Bellsouth is hooking up the fiber optic stuff or whatever it is that they do. It'll be like one of those dreadfully depressing stories
I called around to several stores the night of last, and found two stores that had the new iPods in stock. Target, who had three white 80GB's left, and Best Buy, who had everything. Naturally, I went to Best Buy. After waiting in a rather large line just to pick up the iPod, I had to wait in another even larger line to pay. Malls and shopping centers are always so hectic on weekends here. Anyways, I ended up with a brand new black 30GB iPod with video. $250 later, that is. But I really t
I would say something along the lines of "It started as a normal day..." but it really didn't. Today was "Professional Studies Day" or something that all high schools in my district had the option of having. Whether or not you have it was based on school vote. My school voted for it, although I think not many other ones did. What this day serves as is basically an extra early release day each month. Meant for "study", I guess. I get out at 11:32 as opposed to 2:54, so all is good.

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
Sorry, no redneck home videos At least, not in the blog entry, but I do have some.
As I'm sure you have to know by now, I'm currently working on my Project b/b/c. In the rare case that you don't know about this project already, I'll briefly explain.
Each BBC Forum staffer and a select few other members will have a MOC made in tribute to them. Thus far, I've only completed one MOC, Stasmic, in tribute to Schizo Kaita. I have several MOCs in progress, but none that are entirely compl

Whatever flavor it happens to be, like...
"Killed by the husband"
"Drowned by the ocean"
"Shot by his own son"
"She used a poison

I've posted in plenty of colors in my time here on BZPower. Black, lime green, blue, steel blue, gray, crimson, orange, teal, and, of course, purple. Maybe even some more that I'm forgetting about. A few weeks ago, shortly after the spider-staff, I thought about dropping the purple. I actually did go a day or two with normal black text. It just didn't seem right. So I went back to the purple.
Just a few moments ago, I had one of those sudden, random thoughts. I asked myself, "Drop the
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.

So there's two days left of summer. Bummer. Really, it is.
Even though I never actually left town, I enjoyed it. I had plenty of time to just relax and let loose.
However, you can definitely expect my BZP activity to tremendously decrease. I'll probably only be online a fraction of what I've been on during the summer.
School will be starting at 7:45, as opposed to last year's 7:15. Which means I'll be waking up at about 5:30 or so, being the freak that I am. Most days I'll end up
As I mentioned in a previous entry, my house is currently being renovated. Not just something minor. I'm talking transforming a 2-1, living room, kitchen, and porch into a 4-3, living room, family room, kitchen, 2-car garage, porch, and pool.
There's a lot of work going into this. My dad's doing the entire thing himself, only receiving help when absolutely neccesary. I don't think you realize how frustrating it is when you tell people to move the pile of dirt on the left side of the hou
But .png is.
As you know, we have this thing called the BBC Forum, which is run by BBC Empire. In this forum, members share their MOCs. Most of the time, a digital photograph of the MOC is provided. Now -- in order to get this photograph onto BZPower, you're going to have to save it to your computer in order to upload it. But what file extension do you use?
Most members choose to use the .jpg format. After all, it's the most commonly used file extension on the internet. However, ther

Cold am I
I'm beside myself
Because there's no one else
Have I grown so blind
Only God could save you
If you knew your way to the light
So fly away
And leave it behind
Just stay awake
There's nowhere to hide
I see you cause you won't get out of my way
I hear you cause you won't quit screaming my name
I feel you cause you won't stop touching my skin
I need you they're coming to take you away
Frail and dry
I could lose it all

Starting yesterday, the album has been available for preview on a few different sites. I've been listening for a good chunk of today, and I'm very pleased with this album. I've been waiting for it all summer, and I can definitely say it lived up to my expectations. It's scheduled to hit stores on August eighth. All Target stores will be selling the album for $9.98 -- you won't find it anywhere else cheaper. The first pressing of the CD will contain an exclusive fourteenth bonus track: an ac
Cause the Empress said so. So I'm pimping the BBC Forum.
Firstly and foremostly, BBC Contest 38 has started a few days early. You'll have to see it to believe it. Be sure to read all the rules -- many have been added and changed!
Demonspawn Nuparu has also been unleashed, and has taken over the Latest Creation area of my blog.

Well, yeah. The party was shut down tonight: BZPower's fifth anniverary officially came to a close. As the staff sweep up the confetti and mop up the forum, the members just stare in amazement asking themselves where those blasted rank images went off to. Short answer? Janus ate them.
I hope everyone enjoyed their premier perks while they lasted. But now, I laugh at each of you who shoved my blog to the back pages, and can now no longer access your blog.

You heard right. A teaser for BBC contest #38 has been posted in the BBC Forum by our very own BR. Be sure to check it out, and come back see what all the commotion is about on August first. This will be the sixth contest I've assisted in, and I have to say that I'm really looking forward to this one. You're all in for a big surprise, and an awesome contest.
