As some of you may know, I have been on a long hiatus from BZP. I had what many would call an epiphany of sorts, and it greatly changed many aspects of my life. Since then, I began to study of things that are not found on our televisions, things like alternative energy, conspiracy, terraforming, subjects which are "Taboo" to most people. Along my way, I found my calling in life to do something, greater than most people. An ambition for a future of enlightenment and integrity. I feel a great ca
As promised, TSC now begins, please read the following very carefully. Lets get started shall we?
Welcome to the inaugural Sanitarium Contest. The theme here is simple, Build a MoC using parts that come ONLY in non playset Bionicle sets. Thats right, no fusion, limited technic, limited system, your parts selection is limited only to Bionicle, and the few scattered system/technic parts available in those sets. I have just not been seeing enough quality MoCs that are solely Bionicle Based.
I have decided, this awesome image will be the first to grace my body. Id like it to cover my whole back but doubt I can afford it. Maybe a shoulder blade.
Also, I am considering this one on my arm.
A few examples here of some of my digital art and photo editing skills. The people in the images are me and my goddess. Art Page: https://www.facebook.com/WhimsicalWondersArt Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MatthewMartinGarcia
Well its that time of year again, the E3 gaming expo! For those who have been living under a rock, see Here. Sorry Czar, I've had to remove the link because of the forums on the site. -Nukora
I see a few major announcements recently, such as Metal Gear Solid 4, and Mario Kart Wii, both of which will be must have games for me. Nintendo also announced that the Wii will soon have a fitness board, a zapper and a steering wheel. Other announcements from today include a newer PSP handheld, with
Some of you may remember me, some of you may not. I have returned as the battle for the golden mask contest has beckoned me out of my caverns. I am not the same as when I first went into the underworld, I emerged a different man, something like Leonardo Da Vinci, after he returned from the caverns. The truth can change you. "I awoke, only to find everyone else was still asleep." ~Da Vinci So yeah, here is my entry for the battle for the gold mask contest: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin
This goddess wand was created by my hands for a special someone. It is wrapped in copper magnet wire and topped with a quartz crystal. A feather and goddess charm also adorn it. I doubt most will realize the true potential of this item, but if you know of the piezoelectric qualities of quartz you might have a good idea...
First I give you my sun pics:
All these other photos are not mine, I found them while searching. Here we have the sunset, you can actually see the sunspot on it!
Next I bring you Sun Haloes!
And some recent Solar Flares!
And lastly some lovely Auroras! Hope you all enjoy!
Well day one is over allready. What a day! I was one of the first to arrive, helped with setup, then it was onto my own MoC setups. Met up with Arkov, who is an awesome dude, with awesome MoCs. Here are some notable pics from day 1. The day concluded with the meet and greet, where trophies were unveiled! Sadly, xccj and kraalix were no where to be found today, so I could not see the best bionicle trophy.

Brickcon Trophies:
Awesome MoCs:
Well I am officially an old man now. Lots of packing going on and changes in my life. Im returning to my hometown, after alot of soul searching and learning. I have alot more stuff than I realized! Probably wont be getting much loot this year, as I have isolated myself from just about everybody. But hey, I am just glad to have a 30th birthday. Take care everyone!
These are the only 2 things I have built during my hiatus from BZP. The first was made from an incomplete Rockoh T3 set, so I made a Pohatu Phantoka toa mod. The second was made from random parts I had available at a friends house, the pilot bay can disconnect and reconnect to the main hull. Considering the part selection, I dont think they came out too bad. Connection point:
I disagree. I lost my fiancee today, to betrayal and lies, much like my only love before her. Once again I am alone, confused and lost.
Im not sure of anything anymore, you give all you can, trust, your heart, your home, only to end up betrayed. I think I am giving up on this relationship deal, Ill never find total honesty and trust, it just does not exist.
On the bright side, Brickcon is only 16 days away. Its sad though, I registered for both her and I, now she will not be going with

The countdown begins, 20 hours till Brickcon. I gots lots of stuffs to display, and hopefully I can find someone willing to split a vendors table with me so I can sell my goods. I dont quite have the inventory I had last year, but I still have a pretty good supply of things to vend. Including like 4 Rockoh sets, a Takanuva, Gelu, Rahkshi Star, Strakk, a trans clear baseplate, and a bag of kanohi.
Also I will have the uber awesome Metal Purple Akaku up for sale, one of a kind! For those wh
This week I feature another truly classic set.

Bumble Bee Rumble!
Just when I thought his stuff could not get any better, wow. Its got some rough edges but as a whole it is quite stunning and deserved a spotlight here. MoCists take note, THAT is how you build Bumblebee, too bad it does not transform into a car, though that would be borderline impossible while keeping a nice looking humanoid build.
Nice to see something big out there, well done large bionicle MoCs are a dying breed.

What is going on in the gulf? The US cannot handle another oil spill upon our shores! This is absolute madness, its time the president considers alternate forms of energy. I really hope there is not another plume of oil spewing underwater, I really really hope.
